An anime that has been going on for decades is bound to have a global fanbase. When Eiichiro Oda first created One Piece in 1997, it was like any other normal manga just starting in the Weekly Shonen Jump. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one saw it coming, the huge impact One Piece would go on to have throughout the world. A few months back, One Piece reached its 1000 chapter, which is a milestone in itself.
In order to commemorate this event, a worldwide global popularity poll was conducted to decide once and for all who is the most popular character in the world. The results of this poll have since been announced, with quite a few surprises on the list. In this article, we are going to go over the characters who have cemented their place in the top 100. On a quick note, there were some noteworthy characters to miss out in the top 100, like Magellan and King. However, this is just the start of it, and readers should get ready for even more exciting surprises.
The announcement for the most popular characters from rank 100 to rank 21 was made like an award ceremony which only justifies this legendary anime. A total of over 12 million votes were cast throughout the 2 monthly voting period, which proves that this ranking is without any bias. A lot of fans from many different countries were also invited to the official stream of the result announcement. They were asked about their favorite characters and who they would like to see gain the number one position.

Starting from the bottom half of the ranking, it was quite surprising to see Kinemon so low in the list. Moreover, Caesar Clown had managed to rank higher than Kinemon. Adding to the surprise, Big Mom, who is one of the Four Emperors of the sea, attained a rank of eighty-six. Moreover, her compatriot Kaido who is the strongest character in the series at this moment, only managed to secure 65th place in this poll. This comes as a big shock since Kaido is one of the major characters in the current arc and is by far the strongest enemy Luffy has ever faced.

As we progressed higher up in the list, the powerful Marine officials began to appear one by one. Luffy’s two crewmates Franky and Brook, came in the 28th and 26th place, respectively, which confirms that the other members have safely made it into the top 20. All the fans are already speculating whether Luffy will take the coveted number 1 spot or the forgetful Zoro will dethrone him as the new champion. The most popular characters in One Piece will be revealed at 6.30 pm today. Stay tuned to our website to find out more.

Life took a sudden turn for me when I finally decided to watch Kimi no nawa & Clannad. While both of them made me cry and introduced me to this vast world of anime. The Anime and Manga world is an escape for me from this complicated real world and serves as a relief. Being a content writer for OtakusNotes still feels like a dream and has been one of the best things to happen to me this year. It has been a productive distraction for me and I am loving every moment of it.
