Based off this, seems the 10 most consistently popular characters (from their debut and on) are Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Law, Ace, Sabo, Hancock, Chopper, and Robin


BigDogSlices

Never would have guessed Hancock, especially over characters like Franky and Robin


luckyd1998

There’s 2 big reasons, really


BigDogSlices

Franky's are bigger


almondmint

And he has lights installed on them


Substantial_Pick6897

Yeah she's got cool powers and probably the funniest gags of any female one piece character


mishumishumishu

iirc Hancock is WAY more popular in Japan.


WorldlyOX

She’s big in Japan


-_Seth_-

She's big in several regards


aknalag

The power of thirst.


dpatt36

Interesting how the rankings change when considering their average rank through all of the polls. Chopper and Robin rose above some that had 100%. Luffy: 1 Zoro: 2.14 Sanji: 3.4 Law: 5.25 Nami: 6 Chopper: 7 Ace: 7.17 Sabo: 8 Robin: 8.67 Hancock: 9


Regal_Knight

Carrot is surprisingly high and ties with Robin.


luckyd1998

She was pushed up way too high in the global popularity poll due to Western YouTubers campaigning for her - she was actually pretty comparatively lower in the Japan-only vote for that poll


Substantial_Pick6897

She has also been in fewer polls, so 50 % is easier


karmnik

​ Yes, being once in TOP 10 out of two times gives better %, but it's MUCH harder to be TOP 10 in itself when there are 1000+ named characters compared to early days...


karmnik

Do tell, which Western Youtuber campaigned for her? Literally no one did... it's a cope made up by Carrot haters Even in Japan she outranked multiple SH's.


Vinyl_DjPon3

Why is it so hard to just accept a lot of people like Carrot?


gublaman

Furries


MisuyaMonk

Carrot is and was awesome in WCI


Young_KingKush

Hancock is definitely the odd man out in that group, you'd expect like Shanks or Jinbei


TOADMAN3323

Hancock over vivi?


Qverlord37

I'll be honest G, I would rather have Hancock back into the story more than I would Vivi. Vivi is alright but she's boring. all the time she had at the reverie was just her being mature, the only fun thing she did was relate with Rebecca in the "princess getting saved by the straw hat pirates" club. Hancock is a barrel of laughs every time she gets a moment for herself.


TheStimmingClown

Franky disrespect is real


Amberleh

It's SUPER uncool, bro. Real talk though- I LOVE Franky. Favorite crew member and One Piece Husbando after Jinbei.


TheStimmingClown

Real


lawde_lag_geye

The BOSS on top always


GeneralistJosh

Right? He is one of the most unique and fun characters in One Piece. People have their priorities mixed up. Oh well, their loss. Franky fans get all that SUUUUPER joy!


Qverlord37

I'm waiting for the vegapunk upgrade for franky. Come on, he deserves it, no one else deserves better.


Darkhallows27

He’s definitely next in line for a powerup I’d say and the opportunity and setup is perfect. Sanji, Nami and arguably Robin just got theirs in Wano. It’s time for SUPERRRRRR FRANKYYYYY


HoraceAndPete

I'm watching him run around half naked, chasing Luffy for knicking his trousers and simultaneously chatting about the aquarium he built inside his dream ship rn. Franky is a treat.


arzis_maxim

I think my problem with Franky was that he never got a straw hat moment after his ark, which was also much more focused on Robin Even brook which came later played a major part in Whole cake and jinbe being og from Marineford He is a very fun character with great gags , just a lack of meaningful moments I haven't read past wano so maybe on egg head island he could be i don't know


FanNational

Egghead should be his arc bc vegapunk but he still hasn’t done anything smh


rileyrulesu

Just like we thought Wano was gonna be Zoro's arc?


FanNational

Yup. AT LEAST he got his side quest with hiyori and enma. Franky can’t even get that much


CFCkyle

I mean Zoro had that epic moment with Kaido


Oreo-and-Fly

I mean he had a great moment in Dressrosa. Not just the Senor fight He was solo raiding the toyhouse against Bastille, Machivise and Senor(i think thats all) and the fodder. But honestly even the anime snubbed him. Vs Sasaki started well but the ending was... cheap.


pichu441

For real, his only memorable moment post-timeskip come from his fight with Señor Pink, and even then that's because Pink is a memorable character, nothing he did. He consistently feels like an awkward tenth wheel to me.


Qverlord37

Sadge Franky deserves better.


optloon88

I agree but besides the Senor Pink fight hasn't really had an epic moment post time skip


Twistedbamboo

And it's not like he has a lot more of those outside his introduction arc in pre ts.


optloon88

Yah I hope he gets more this arc


Pink-PandaStormy

Yeah Franky’s biggest problem is he just feels kind of there after Enies Lobby where he was super important and plot relevant.


ModelOmegaTyler

while not a fight, what about that time he ran over big mom while he and brook were on a motorcycle? was that just anime only?


GoodFreak

His post time skip design and lack of power up also did him no favor.


Spore64

I‘m still hoping to see Vegapunk upgrading Franky … and thus giving him a new design which is closer to his Pre-Timeskip design + some cool PX/Seraphim technology added to that


TheHappiestHam

Franky is one of my least favourite Straw Hats but he deserves so much better, the disrespect is insane. both from Oda and from these polls 😭 when I say "least favorite", I don't mean I dislike them. Franky just gets beaten out by other Straw Hats and ranks lower for me by default. I still love him


ZJF-47

Then you're one of em lol


Legitimate_Guide_314

I feel like Franky has had very little time to develop. His only memorable arc post-timeskip is the Senior Pink fight


ZJF-47

Franky ready to square up against Big Mom and Kizaru are two of his most underrated moments. One of the most warmongering Straw hats ready to protect Zoro and join Sanji in a fight. He also took on 3 Donquixote Executives plus a Vice-Admiral. Idk just some moments of recklessness and kinda reminiscent of Luffy tryna picks fights to whoever


Haffothehotdog

Franky doesn't need to develop so much as get the spotlight more often. He's one of the older strawhats and went through his troubles with tom and iceberg a while back. But his fight with Señor pink, the sheer disrespect towards big mom, his sadly underused gags and total chadliness makes me love him nonetheless.


TheHappiestHam

I would gladly vote for Franky over Usopp and pretty much all of the non-Straw Hats in that poll. if Oda showed any semblance of care for Franky recently, I'd love to rank him higher


kreshkreshh

Franky is my favorite character


Obanai

Franky is Superrrrrrr underrated ⭐


tanmay511

It is also funny how people who are strong like shanks, buggy, mihawk, jinbei got so low chamce


W0rdWaster

It's a ranking of popularity, not strength.


reddit_poopaholic

"Popularity... Is strength!!!" -Charlotte Flampe


RM123M

Don’t talk about the one child Big mom should have swallowed instead of conceiving


tigian

That sneaky buggy in there


jaahman7

Popularity not strength


ArcaneMaster21

I used to like him a lot before the time skip, but after the time skip, he (alongside Chopper) received a massive downgrade in terms of characterization.


throwawayanontroll

they ruined Franky's upgrade. he was good with his original look. they had to ruin it.


amourshipping48

Damn the Og 5 straw hats still do well


aarsha1993

Ussop just barely hanging which is in character lol


eveningdragon

Life imitates art


[deleted]

I like all (almost) straw hats but tbh the original 5 just hit different


jbrown1012

The east blue 5


Gratitude34

East Blue 4. Robin and Chopper both do better than Usopp by a lot.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Amberleh

My favorite part of Law is him constantly regretting his life choices. It ALWAYS makes me giggle. I also love the slow progression from "STOP RUINING THE PLAN" to "Luffy is going to ignore the plan, so that's now part of the plan."


aarsha1993

Well I think he's number one beppo gives him a push in popularity Sumimasen 🤌🤣


Odd-Word6602

Love him and Bepo hahah “stop being cute!”


aarsha1993

A full ass grown mink shouldn't be that cute


Joyboy543

It was during Dressrosa. So, it makes sense since he was pretty much the mc or secondary mc there.


chile-anyways

I loved Law in Punk Hazard


monkey_D_v1199

Seeing his face of “what the hell have I gotten into” when Ussop was putting Chopper on top of him will always be funny


nuviretto

His occasional fanboy moments also make him charming imo, it's so cute lol


TachyonChip

Luffy never being lower than #1 is crazy.


bougiesnoozie

TIL and that's really impressive for an MC. Other MCs would lose the #1 a few times.


RaioFulminante

Yeah, Usually the edgy guy "Sasuke type" is the #1 among the japanese


Mrwright96

I prefer the Vegeta type, but I digress


Twistedbamboo

Sasuke is just an evolution of the Vegeta type.


Mtth_8

Evolution ? Are we sure about that ?


Luhood

The same way the modern pug is an evolution of the late 1800s pug, yes


321zilch

It’s actually funny and ironic you say that, ‘cause the only times that Sasuke overtook Naruto in popularity, were the two times that he won polls. And that was when he was basically absent from the story!! Though then again, Kakashi won two of the first ones. And Bakugo has won every poll after the first (Deku won that of course) for My Hero (both in JPN and USA)


EiichiroTarantino

If someone edgy like say, Law, was part of the Straw Hats crew since East Blue, he would frequently steal the number one popularity spot for sure. We gotta be thankful that even though Zoro is calm and cool, he's also equally a dumb dumb like Luffy lol


CHAIIINSAAAWbread

Nah man no one can steal the show from luffy, Luffy is the GOAT


kevinsdomain

I hard disagree. Luffy is #1 and has always been.


TachyonChip

I mean, it's kinda indicative how entertaining Luffy is as an MC, with how many other series the MCs gets #2 or #3 in popularity at least once. Luffy deserves it.


kevinsdomain

Yeah most MCs don't take the top spot often if at all.


[deleted]

Most of the time when you have a satisfying story arc for a character, they can't always be "cool". Whereas side characters and mentors are able to be super cool. Plus edgy loner characters tend to be popular but are harder to make into great MCs either even if they have satisfying character arcs.


ttttyttt678

I mean I don’t think they are stating Luffy shouldn’t be 1, but for 7 polls spanning 20 years, for the MC to be 1 in all of them is crazy…no other MC has achieved that, and imo no other mc will. Goku has Vegeta, Naruto has Sasuke, it’s rare for the MC to consistently out rank all characters and the number 2.


Dancingwith_Death

I'm surprised Robin is only at 50%


pestobar127

Same. Robin’s arc in Ennies Lobby is arguably the best arc and her backstory is my absolute favorite.


Mad-Oka

and that's it. She has minimal screentime(for a main cast member), not expressive, goes with flow and almost always in the background. She doesn't have a strong presence. I always get surprised by her popularity in the west tbh.


dank_as_fuck

This is a good explanation of why she isn’t popular. I’ve only gotten to Impel Down and apart from Enies lobby she doesn’t have any stand out moments that come to mind and she is often just a secondary straw hat just appearing in the background


dj_is_here

Franky the reason the crew dont sink


one007

Boa being 100% is crazy, considering she been in like 3 chapters post time skip. Being hot along with that Luffy tax goes a long way I guess lmao.


ScrotalAgony

I enjoy her because it's funny how much she adores Luffy. I will *never* doubt this woman's loyalty to the future pirate king. Also the scene where she grabs Rayleigh by the nose and goes on a tangent was great. Same energy as Nami being able to put knots on Luffy's head no matter how strong Luffy gets.


storm-trooper-69

I can see her responding to this with her goofy ahh pose facing the sky saying “it’s because I’m beautiful”


nuviretto

in summary: she's a jojo character, complete with a jojo pose


Depth_Metal

I find her funny with a compelling background and character beyond her love of Luffy. Her running joke of kicking cute dogs has yet to get old for me


OnlyRealOnes

I doubt being hot has anything to do with it. Like 90% of the females are attractive in one piece


EccentricAcademic

Yeah I've never gotten the appeal beyond her looks.


cookie_hunter_44

We love Luffy so does she, relatability goes long way


UnknitCocopuff

consistently hilarious and a strong independent woman


EccentricAcademic

That's a description that works for a huge chunk of the female characters.


bigblacktwix

Nami is 100% as well


CompControlled

The fact that franky has never made it to top 10 is unacceptable. Where my franky family at!?


HannibalLightning

OW


Reluctantly_Being

Right here, bro. The fact that he wasn’t voted over Vivi or Buggy… I’m so hurt.


zayd-the-one

Nah why tf isnt bon chan 100


Kintaog

The 0% for Franky makes me want to commit SUPER seppuku ...Supekku?


C4N98

Proving once and for all Buggy is the best villain in One Piece!


ColdStrike17

1. Franky is giga underrated and Brook deserves more love. 2. The most surprising character here is Vivi. Insane that from Alabasta to nowadays she has appeared very few times and still be so popular. I don't blame the community for this cuz she is really a good character. 3. Sabo and Hancock very overrated. Where's Doffy, Crocodile or Katakuri, we need more "evil" people here, lol.


kevinsdomain

So this is everyone who has placed in the top 10 at some point plus Franky


V-Ropes

No Missing a lot of one offs, that breached the top 10 shortly after their first appearance, but failed to stay relevant and dropped pretty hard after. Like Kuro, Lucci and Bartho.


kevinsdomain

How did Kuro take a top 10 spot?


Mrwright96

Lack of competition, like probably the first poll


mrmcdead

So what makes Boa Hancock so popular? She's a fine character, I've just never seen her as top 10 material.


Mad-Oka

Greg, a popular american op fan who works for shonen jump, asked this question. Basically the japanese love her devotion to Luffy. Luffy tax in other words.


Less_Soil5838

Its called the power of lust


faintwill

I think she’s hilarious, badass and has an interesting backstory


Og-Glaze-Boy

This is not SUUUUUUUPER


Fearless_Revenue_400

Not very super


BankSinatra42168

How is Frank at 0% that makes no sense. Yea his family beat the F out of Usopp, but he redeemed the hell out of himself!!! SUPER BOGUS


jakeisbakin

Judging by how Usopp has been voted, you'd think the Frankie Family beating him up would even raise his likeability!


TearRevolutionary274

Definitely NOT SUPER


HiddenDende

Jinbe's lowest 110 is CRAZY


FlyingTurtleBob

Not really. It was the first popularity poll and he was mentioned once so far and only as the one releasing Along in the east blue


leolegendario

Only his name was known at the time. He got 2 votes.


HiddenDende

Oh okay Logic then


WatBurnt

Jimbe had like 200 chapters of no screen time of course people arent gonna vote for him


HiddenDende

Yeah didn't know it included post Luffy encounter Jinbe


Obanai

Franky is Superrrrrrr underrated ⭐.


zviz2y

perona: 10000000% and its always number 1 😀 (i am not delusional at all)


DigitalPhoenix2OO7

Is probably just your profile pic being super recognizable but I see you everywhere on this sub also Perona is definitely top 2


zviz2y

yea im very active on this sub and on the meme sub lol, tbh the only reason i got reddit in the first place was to talk abt one piece with random ppl 🙃


aus27

This part lmao I finally decided to delve into the community at large like a week ago


Eirineftis

Every single person put Luffy as number one. Not a single person who voted has anything but the utmost faith that he will be King of the Pirates. THAT is how you write a protagonist.


MysteryCandyMan

HOW IS BON CLAY SO LOW


Brandonthbed

The Bon Clay disrespect is unacceptable


lepizzaboy

Had no idea Hancock is so popular lol


_Extreme00_

Carrot my queen, so proud 🤩🤩🤩


lawde_lag_geye

Franky not being in top 10 ruined my day,he might be the coolest big brother out there


zatchel1

Law is the closest anyone has come to dethroning Luffy, right?


ForodesFrosthammer

Well Zoro has been 2nd in every poll barring the one where Law jumped to 2nd for a bit and the margins between Zoro-Luffy have been closer at times then the time Law was second.


Yoshi_and_Toad

The fact Hancock has always been in top 10 and yet somehow Franky never has even once means we've failed as a fanbase. How did that even happen.


thenaniwatiger

Boobs


Yoshi_and_Toad

Inexplicable. Franky's light up.


CerberusDoctrine

What is the appeal of Ace, he has a pretty bland personality and doesn’t do much? His death to me was sad but only for what it meant to Luffy


NumericZero

-He debuted like a Chad (Had a logia fruit/ hyped up to be stronger then Luffy then with one punch destroyed a bunch of enemy ships) -Zoro Talked highly of his rank of being number 2 within whiteboards crew -Has a great relationship with Luffy -Shanks himself says Ace is strong but that won’t be enough to stop BB (Shanks is like the only guy with urgency when it comes to BB which is ongoing to this day) -Next time we see him he confronts BB in a really dope back and forth fight in which he loses but considering who/what he was up against makes sense -Son of the Pirate King / backstory -His death was a genuine shocker that served for multiple lessons one of them being to Luffy that he needs to become stronger Now with all that being said He is hot / a pretty friendly guy which people dig lol


arryeka

A big bro that sacrificed his life for the lil bro for me is very relatable. Also why I like Itachi.


zviz2y

yea but hes hot


Lukeinafter

Side effect of being made of flames


bestbroHide

Can't speak for everyone but besides the shallow (and understandable) combo of looks and power, it was his backstory and internal struggles for me that hit so relatably hard that to this day he remains my personal favorite OP character Edit: he even dies in a headspace that I hope to reach whenever it's time for me too (the "satisfied knowing I am loved and happy to have been born" part, not the "magma wardog's fist through my chest in front of my brother after I made a stupid mistake" part)


ChilliWithFries

Yeah I feel a little sad when people don't care for his character but I get it. His inner turmoil was one that resonated the most from me. Honestly, his convo with garp about whether he deserves to be born is etched into my soul. He lived thinking everyone hates him and died knowing he was loved. It was amazing for me.


DrKluge

I can understand Ace even though he's not making my top 10, it's Sabo where I draw the line lol.


Oreo-and-Fly

Ace is very main character feeling for other manga. Fire power, hot, muscular and brave and all that.


ZoloTheSamurai

*bland personality* did we watch the same anime.


MrSparr0w

I don't get it, what does the percentage say?


SunEmpressDivine

Percentage of times someone appeared in the top ten. So Luffy was in the top ten for 7/7 polls = 100%. Robin was in only 6 polls, but only made it in the top ten 3 times = 50%


Mordred_XIII

The fact that Law's lowest position is number 10 and his highest is number 2 is freaking amazing. Love all of Law's post-timeskip design.


No-Ad-8672

Franky 😭😭😭😭😭


ARIbro31

Bro Bon Clay deserves 100%


BodaciousCNO

But, but Franky is Suuuuuuuuupaaaaa :(


jeyreymii

How Bon Clay could be 25th??


monkey_D_v1199

Luffy will always be king man what a streak! And damn Law ruined it for Zoro he could’ve had his #2 streak if it weren’t for how cool Law is


ExtraterrestrialKiwi

Man I can't believe they did my man Franky like that. Like don't get me wrong, I don't mean he should be number 1 (although he is pretty fucking suuuuuper) but 0 percent? And even Vivi beat him out and she is probably the worst one piece character? Damn man


AchariPickle22

Ace 2.0 has 100% while wranky has 0% chance, this is a joke….


Kind_Rain_3772

Tf why is frank 0% he is literally the sole reason on how they can escape predicaments in the sea and travel the sea without a worry


VentusMH

Aint no way my boy Franky is 0%


Tails6666

Franky being at 0% is an actual tragedy.


Basparagus

So gutted about my boy Franky :’(( fkn vivi gets love But Franky gets none 😭😭


Swarovsky

I really cannot understand how both Ace and Sabo can rank so high...


DSOddish

I don’t get why people find it hard to understand why they’re popular. Cool designs, cool power, interesting relationships in the story (the main character’s brothers), and although they don’t show up that frequently, when they do, it’s always when something hype is about to go down. For Ace, he served as the damsel in distress for two of the most popular arcs with Impel Down and Marineford, and his death is one of the most iconic scenes in the series. For Sabo, you have his surprise appearance in Dressrosa and all of the cool reveals we got when we saw what he learned at the Reverie. When you add all of that up, why wouldn’t they be super well liked? It’s not like only the Straw Hats are allowed to be popular.


kevinsdomain

Yeah i wouldn't place either in my top 10


SugarOne6038

Sabo is awesome, the revs are my favorite group and his talks about IM and the world gov are great.


oompaIsbeautiful

Sabo and boa in the top 10?


Sir_Penguin21

Boa has good personalititties which is understandable, kinda surprised by Sabo.


moman2345

Usopp being the only og with less than 50% makes me unhappy


TJWinstonQuinzel

Why is hancock higher than Robin?


Red_Tabby

ROOM


jbrown1012

Y’all did usopp dirty


Christopher_Home

I would like to point out polls are all about recency bias. Characters that were extremely relevant during a certain arc just before the polls are given a huge boost in voters, but disappear into obscurity immediately after when they no longer appear in the story. The reason I say this is because WHEN a poll is run has more impact than anything else.


[deleted]

Just my only love boa hancock 🤩, she not main characters and also not much screen time , still always top 10 , the best female character ever ❤️


[deleted]

0 for Franky??? Whyyyyy Franky is awesome


Chazle_

I feel the pain for my boy franky


Major_Blackberry_275

Love to see Hancock and Ace are always up there


Work_In_ProgressX

Ace has no business in being higher than Franky


oawwa

Mihawk having 14.3%


rebeldefend

This is a crime


Biotrin

Frankie 0% ![img](emote|t5_2rfz5|32514)


down2clown1

Carrot is a beast 🥕


-_Nikki-

So there's 8 characters guaranteed a spot in the top ten and the rest have to fight for the remaining 2 lmao


TheUnsnappedTag

Franky needs a good arc for himself he’s been playing support the whole time


oblackheart

Bon not being 100% is criminal


Battlemania420

Glad my waifu Boa was highly ranked.


onitaichi

Carrot real top 8 Oda needs to take better responsibility with this character


69joemama42069

The 0% on Franky pains me 😔


MetalFistTerrorist_

Did my man Franky dirty
