I'm saddened by Frog Girl's low placing and somewhat surprised at Tokoyami's popularity. Kendou is fairly high too, for a girl who barely received any attention (especially when you consider when the vote was made).

I don't remember who Kyouka is. Earphone girl?

Tsuyu is 6th. She's behind the 3 main dudes, the lead female, and the mentor. She's doing pretty well for herself.

Also yeah, I think Kyouka is earphone girl. I have no idea who Kendou is though.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
I feel let down, even though those rankings make sense.

Kendou is the chick from Class B. The big sister type. She gave up her team's spot for Tetsutetsu's team and also worked alongside Yaoyo... what's her name during the hands-on experience.

Any spot less than 1 is not high enough for me!!!!

Surprising but not surprising rankings?

Except for All Might, who I thought would place way lower since he kinda seems like a design Japanese readers wouldn't like. Thanks for liking a cool character Japan :unsmith:.

Tsuyu placing behind essentially the main cast is cool. Todoroki being #2 is predictable since he's prime fujo bait and everyone wants him to gaymarry Midoriya.

She's been pretty cool every time she showed up (in minor ways) and probably the thing where she put mimic-guy back in line last chapter might've swung things (though wasn't that after the poll was announced?)

I would have liked Tsuyu at #1, but placing after all the main characters (minus Iida I suppose) and #1 pretty boys and All Might is pretty drat good. Now I can redirect hype to the chapter proper.

If you must blink, do it now.
Deku placing first is utterly unsurprising. Nice that All Might and Aizawa placed high though. I'm not used to seeing mentor characters rank that highly.

Also, thanks for believing in Fumikage's coolness Japan.

Yeah, those are neat. Also I am rather happy Shinsou (mind control kid) made the top twenty. He was neat and I liked his little arc. Also it's rather appropriate that he managed to beat a bunch of Class A kids in the popularity contest, just like he did the tournament. You keep on rocking Shinsou, you're going to be a great hero someday.

Disappointed but not surprised Shigaraki didn't make it up there. I wonder what the extended results are. Glad that Tsuyu and Tokoyami are up there; they're probably my two favorite side-kids and, as we've seen recently, they make an awesome duo.

It'll probably happen around the 100th chapter if they plan on making it an ongoing thing.

The protagonist needs to be REAL loving popular to reach escape velocity from the fujoshi system too.

All Might is cool. Are we getting the results of the Internet polls also soon then? I'd be interested in the differences in those.

I don't think this stuff is allowed. Like, when the villain and heroes fight in episode 1, you can see a dude talkin' on the phone about how he'll be delayed cause of the villain.

It comes down to the point that Smutbeast made. Unions.

How would the transportation industry feel about dudes just flying or jumping or swinging with tape or tails to get to their destinations? Especially when you consider that when quirks first popped up, there was huge social turmoil.

I think you guys are assuming that more people have significant quirks than actually do. Remember that we're looking at the people that literally have the best quirks in the entire country (or are at least the best at using them). I'm under the impression than the vast majority of people have quirks like Deku's mothers' (the "really weak telekinesis" thing) that aren't that significant.

Even if multiple Urarakas existed, they still wouldn't be able to handle a significant amount of the total demand for construction work in the country and wouldn't have the huge impact on construction workers that you guys seem to be suggesting.

Even if that many did exist that they could corner the construction market then the overall market would rather quickly stabilize itself most likely, with quirk users allowing for a higher level of specialization in the job market than currently exists. There would be a good few older folks out of jobs or having to learn new skills to gain employment in other areas, but I can't honestly see how having quirk users make use of their powers to specialize is a bad thing. It's really no different than when assembly lines and robots and poo poo came along. They put a lot of people out of work because they were so efficient, but the world spun on because the greater efficiency worked in the market's favor, lowering prices and allowing people to get more creative with what they had and so on.

I think you are assuming that most people with significant quirks want to pursue a career largely based on violence.

IcyHot would make an awesome chef, if he really wanted to piss off his dad.

On the other hand, Nuclear Explosions Man would make a poor hero.

Spoiler discussion:

I'm getting real sick of Midoriya being so passive. He stands there and just watches poo poo go down, then doesn't take into account of where Bakugou is during the fight and ends up getting in his way. Instead of doing anything useful while he's got All Might occupied he just...stands there. What a dildo.

Also, him being trapped under a pitifully small chunk of railing was hilarious. It's like the scene in Batman where Alfred gets pissed and yells at Bruce Wayne about "what good was all those pushups if you can't even push a log off yourself!"

from the panel of Midoriya before he ran into Bakugou, it looks like he's having flashbacks to Stain. It's almost like some dude tried to kill him recently and being face to face with someone as far out of his level as All Might who actively looks like he's trying to kill him is triggering some issues.

You can see in the panel after the first beat down on Bakugou that he's running away without even helping him. That's why Bakugou ends up jumping into him.

Also, I guess PTSD only works when the main character isn't having his moment of looking awesome by snapping Icyhot out of it, or fighting Stain. But up against All Might knowing he won't get killed? Haha of course he's having flashbacks!
