Koleda... Ben... Seth

Not surprised at the Top 3, but man

I love Ellen has barely done anything in the main story, yet she is still one of the most popular characters

She gets buffed a lot tho'

and I love S.Anby is above normal Anby

I know they're both separate units, but I always find it amusing when the alter ego of a character is more popular than the original

Miyabi is universally popular... Like even in the beta, she was the most picked

then Yixuan is female Gojo

She changed the game like Miyabi, but on a different level

Harumasa being the most popular male character isn't surprising, but #6 is SOLID

I wonder where Wise and Belle would rank if they were made choices

Hugo right behind too...

Hoyo please send me more S-rank men

Jane is also kinda like Ellen where she barely does anything, but SUPER POPULAR

ellen eepy tho

I'm surprised Burnice is that low on the list

But I guess she appeals to Westerners more than Chinese players

majinken: She can only aura farm in short bursts

onlypuns: I think the Sons of Calydon in general probably resonate more with Western players

A US poll would be interesting... I think Miyabi and Ellen would be in the Top 3, no doubt.

Not sure if Yixuan would be that high, but I can see her in the Top 10

Speaking of which... Lucy and Piper aren't here either

I wonder how much of a boost 11 would get from a second version like Anby got

Golden 11 just to one-up Anby

I think she'd do fairly well... With the Obol faction getting a lot of screentime lately and the Silver solider storyline being one of the best sidestories by far, 11 would probably get a small boost

I do think 11 is getting overshadowed by her own faction though. She was the most mysterious character in the early ZZZ days and now she's just kind of there... But given that her character arc was finished in that sidestory, I guess there's not much to do with her now

Speaking of which... I would love to see a ranking for the side stories since we've got plenty of them!

If you have her, shit gets... a little weird in the final trust scene with 11 after that side story

Yep! I do have her and finished her trust event

Even the Proxies were like "Well. Shit... "

How does someone get double amnesia... This is Kamijou Touma levels of bullshit

I would love to see her and Anby interact in a chill normal way, but given how Anby was like "nah it's cool if she hates me so she doesn't hurt anyone else". Probably not happening

Unless they follow up on that ambiguous ending on what Anby did to the technology at the end

I love that Harumasa and Hugo are so high on the list, but I feel like Lighter should be higher as well haha

but Seth.........

why not here.........

also I only now realized that S rank boys come in pairs

I really liked Lighter! He was the perfect balance between serious and goofy

Seth really has not gotten any screen time even with the hints that his older brother is in a high position forNEPS IIRC

yeah but if you have his friendship maxed you get a special little quest with him

post the Bringer fight

I hope he gets more in the future... especially because of his brother haha

Maybe when we get more NEPS lore, he might get something. He does form a nice dynamic with Harumasa too that I want more of

ZZZ needs more husbandos in general... I know waifubux sells in this gacha economy but c'mon

yes! and yes

omg Manato situation made so many people mad

and from what I've seen JP commenters and CN were also upset

Oh wow I didn't know it was cross the board

I'm little bitter at the Seed situation too since I was hoping for another male robot like Billy

Instead, you get the waifu and the robot comes separate in battle

I'm def. getting Manato for the sake of having more guys in my agent party

yes same! But at least from the pv it looked like Seed robot might be an actual character? Unlike a certain firefly lmao

still a huge bummer that we need a cute girl to sell a robot....

I feel like Genshin and HSR are more generous with male units at least

It also reminds me of Big Daddy from the SOC too. I remember people thought he was going to be playable from early leaks too

some people actually save for him to this day
