So can we talk about the first controversy?

No Nami in the female roster. Didnt she went Number 3 in popularity in the big worldwidepoll?

Also:

Will Yamato win both favorite male and female character?

 

[goldb]

BTW I know the thread OPs say you need to PM me to change votes, but you can do that yourself in this round. Please don't PM me unless you're struggling LOL.

Well noone nominated her and she's not the only character to have been missed out. There's a lot of nominations through the categories that just didn't make it

Well I think it comes down to the timeframe. What did Nami do that was noteworthy in 2021? She had one "fight" if you could call it that and she only won because of Big Mom. Aside from that 2021 was spent running away from enemies...

Having big boobs in a revealing outfit isnt enough anymore!?

How the times have changed.

Haha blame Oda. Almost every female character in OP meets those criteria now, so they gotta do something even more special to "stand out"

 

[goldb]

I'll end polls tonight and start the final round probably Friday evening.

 

[goldb]

Right then, final voting round....let's see if as a community we can make some correct decisions

 

[goldb]

I'll end the final voting round tonight when I'm off from work.

Huge thxs @goldb and all the other staff involved for making this happen and to everyone who joined

Pretty happy about the results overall

 

[goldb]

Overall I'm happy with the results, especially as some of them are my own nominations. If there's any disappointment, it'd just be that some characters didn't make it as far as I'd hope.

My ONE complaint is the Most Dramatic/ Plot Twist category; especially considering the winning nomination is still a developping element in the manga and Zoro's story.
