As expected ichigo, rukia, orihime, renji, byakuya, youichi, urahara is in the top 10.

Unexpected better positions:

Hitsugaya in second place! :twitch:
Mayuri even in the top 30 and better than shunsui
Hanatorou in top 30. I guess he is lovable...

UNexpected lousy positions:
Aizen - should be top 10, at least higher than gin...
shunsui

Hitsugaya in second place is to be expected. But to be just 49 votes behind Ichigo is surprising.

Poor Hinamori got knocked off the top 10. T__T
No special poster art for her. And she even got overtaken by Kira. Nooo~~~

Kon's rankings just gets lower and lower, he's now off the top 20. At least he can brag about being above Hanatarou this time.

[Souzouryoku]

Not surprised at all by the top 10.

What I am shocked about is why Aizen isn't further up o.O Even Hisagi is ahead of him, and he had like what? 3 lines..

However, I'm not really surprised about how low in the ranks Sado is, nor am I with Mayuri.

[Sety]

Mayuri should so be No.1............

<_<

>_>

*skulks away*

[Rachy]

yay for hitsugaya , He should be number one though ^_^.

No shunsui ? o hes down really low hehe

[Altharion]

Gin is a far more popular character then aizen, though i dont agree on this poll i can clearly understand the results.

[Istan Bravo]

hmmm I wonder why Japanese don't like Shunsui-type character?
The VA for Shunsui is quite famous. He do Black Jack and Snake in Metal Gear.

[Kinny Riddle]

Well, the main reason for Aizen getting a not so high ranking is because this poll was taken right after his true colours were shown. Not to mention lack of appearance time really hurts the rankings. Just look at Hinamori-chan. All KT did was have her in prison, and then have her unconscious, and then get her stabbed and fall into another coma again. :sad:

The first poll was taken just after Byakuya was introduced, and he managed to get 18th, which is not too bad for a newly introduced character.

The second poll had Yoruichi in the top 20, and she hasn't even revealed her true form yet.

So this takes time, OK? Expect his rankings to shoot up by the next poll.

[Hellychan]

Byakuya is the sexy guy with his fashion sunglasses :heh:

[Dionysus]

Obvious that Hitsugaya would make 2nd Place he's awesome, But have to admit Ichigo carrys the storyline here is to expected :eyespin:

[seunosewa]

What is it that makes Hitsugaya popular. Just screen time?:confused:

[Rurouni Katsubei]

27) Kurotsuchi Mayuri 448

Gwhahaha..... soon to be Number 1!

Gah, I hate Hitsugaya. Rukia should be number 2 <3

Nah, Hitsugaya's popularity is his screen time and dare I say it... "Bishieness".

He's already shown all he's go though (manga). I don't know know how much more suprises he'll have. His popularity may decline soon.

[Mousuke]

I like Hitsu and all, but seriously...why is he second on the list? :eyebrow:

Still, it makes me happy to see that adorable Hanatarou is still in the top 30!! Go Hana! I really hope he pops up in the manga again...:D

[seunosewa]

I like Hitsu and all, but seriously...why is he second on the list?
It could be because many other people love him - though he probably isn't anyone's favorite character.

[rtwesen]

It could be because many other people love him

It's annoying how so many people love him for his looks.

Personally, I don't like him much at all. Perhaps my least favourite character in the series... But wow, only just behind Ichigo :/

[DestinyFate]

Hitsugaya in second place is to be expected. But to be just 49 votes behind Ichigo is surprising.

Poor Hinamori got knocked off the top 10. T__T
No special poster art for her. And she even got overtaken by Kira. Nooo~~~

Kon's rankings just gets lower and lower, he's now off the top 20. At least he can brag about being above Hanatarou this time.
agrees with you that Hinamori got knocked off T.T

[astrallionheart]

Does any of the fascination of Hitsugaya Toushiro involve the fact that he looks like a DBZ character?

[DestinyFate]

What is it that makes Hitsugaya popular. Just screen time?:confused:
What makes him popular is his ice-snow type zanpakutou and his looks :eyespin:

[epyon96]

Let's not forget his cool attitude. He has some of the best shinigami cup moments too so perhaps that helps his popularity remain high.

[Flashdance]

Kenpachi should be Number 1 then Ichigo then Yaruchi :D
At least Kenpachi is still in the top 10...

Hitsugaya Number 2? What the hell? I dont like this kid :p

[FlyMoto]

I used to be a fan of Hitsugaya... however i've steadily declined away from that. his screen time has actually turned me AWAY from his character more and more. I think what caught my interest at first with him was partially the fact that he was a genious kid who managed to push through the ranks, and the fact that he looked awesome in the 2nd intro.
However recently hitsugaya seems to just get thrown in b/c ppl like him... and his character gets used and abused b/c of this.
My current favorite bleach character is actually Ichinose(sadly enough a filler character i like the most...). I just felt his character was rather well built and I loved the way his zanpakuto was designed.
If i go with a favorite character thats not in the filler, I'd probably go with Soi Fon or Tousen.

[lommm]

i think Romy Pak, Hitsu's seiyu, has a lot to do with his popularity

and YAY for Gin-san... my favorite character is actually in the top five!! and Uruhara is in the top ten!!
