The "tWelVe" doesn't exist.
1) Smoker who's been tied to Kuzan since LRLL, isn't somehow not as important as him on account of a single spread.
There isn't a single good justification that explains why Kuzan would be there and not Smoker, if it's based on character "importance."
@S_pudurmun Koby was my first favorite character since chapter two and that stayed the case for the majority of the series, until Dressrosa (Bellamy surpassed him and eventually, Cavendish).
I would have voted for Koby even when he has 300+ chapters in-between doing anything at all.
@S_pudurmun I think some Bartolomeo fans may have been to assured that he'd rank higher than he did, but we were never certain and so we voted/campaigned for him with that anxiety.
@S_pudurmun Some other people might feel the same.
Also I just had an exchange, and the other person's reply rang true to me, I think that may have cost him votes.
Also, Cavendish fans had a chip on our shoulders due to him placing 73 last time, so we were motivated.
@bndnii Me.
He placed 13 in the Whole Cake poll; online him and Bartolomeo were the final two in arlongparkforums annual character tournament when Dressrosa was weekly, he's always placed well; his lowest placement was 73 in the last global popularity poll.
He's popular, as he should be.
Eiichiro Oda will answer fan questions about the Top 30 winners! He will personally select the questions and answer them in upcoming issues of Weekly Shonen Jump and onepiece Magazine.
@DunaryBear Problem with that is Hakuba has pretty incredible AP, he dealt one-shots only; even on a Fishman, and look what he was able to do to this plateau side with a flying slash on horseback, pretty ridiculous; not to mention owning Durandal, with enough strength to party Chinjao.
