That didn’t get past the production team (laugh).

I heard that there seemed to be some movements online organized by fans to come together to cast votes for unexpected characters. Usually, this character ranking poll is only done in Japan but by opening it up to the world through the internet, I was able to see in real time a glimpse of which characters are popular in different regions of the world and some characters went up in the rankings since the midterm results, so it was truly entertaining. The grassroots push for Carrot even caught the attention of Eiichiro Oda himself, who issued the following letter regarding the final results of the WT100. He was also surpassed by the WT100’s biggest dark horse: the half-human-half-rabbit warrior Carrot, who shot up the rankings from a mid-term 17th to a final eighth and within hopping distance of seventh place. Ace, who was enjoying fifth place as of the midterms, got knocked way back to ninth. As of the midterm results, the cartographer was trailing in seventh place but managed to rally enough latter half support to land in the top three. It’s probably not the most surprising outcome with the series’ main cast gracing the top five, but we can see how the competition between Zoro, Luffy, and Nami was actually surprisingly close when we break it down by region.ĭespite her big wins in Oceania, Europe, and Latin America, Nami’s ranking turned out to be a bit of a surprise. Since there’s no easy way to say this, let’s just get the bad news out of the way first: Despite my tireless efforts in voting, it’s with a heavy heart I inform you all that Camel the super penguin did not come in first. ▼ The ceremony was hosted by Japanese comedy duo Kamaitachi and a panel of fans from around the world On 5 May, the tallied votes were announced in a special YouTube announcement ceremony honoring the winners of this massive popularity contest.

The world has spoken and the best pirates were chosen.
