Popularity Polls

Character Polls
Weekly Shōnen Jump occasionally organizes popularity polls of One Piece characters and publishes the results. The results will also be published later in the One Piece Volumes with some differences from the original.


 * 1st Poll: The poll ran for 2 to 3 weeks after Chapter 49. The total number of votes was 36,000. In the first poll, many of the Cover Page animals were listed on the poll. Ganzack is the first non-canon character who was voted by the people.
 * 2nd Poll: Total votes 51,873. Eiichiro Oda was included in the poll and ended up taking the 25th position.
 * 3rd Poll: Total votes 50,804. Results from position 51-99 published only in Volume 43, not in the Weekly Shōnen Jump.
 * 4th Poll: Total votes 42,116. The results first published on WSJ issue 49 of 2008. The 4th poll was the longest with more than 200 characters listed in positions 1-122. Japanese voice actress Mayumi Tanaka and the majority of the Joke Characters appeared on the poll. The characters in position 93 have 4 votes each, in position 100, 3 votes each, in position 110, 2 votes each and in position 122 only one vote each.
 * 5th Poll: Total votes 69,472. The results were published in Chapter 771. The top ten characters were featured in the chapter's colored cover page.
 * 6th Poll: Total votes were approximately 80,000. The results were published along with Chapter 874. Unlike the previous two polls, only 102 characters were included into the list. Luffy and the other non-Straw Hat top 20 characters were featured in the chapter's cover page to indicate the series' 20th anniversary. *Note: Characters from rank 22 downwards were initially published one rank higher due to an error. The english version of Weekly Shonen Jump also held a poll for the international fans during that time and the results were announced in early summer of 2017.
 * 7th Poll: Total vote count was over 12 million. This was the first global poll. It is also part of the One Piece 1000 Logs project. Fans could vote either by postcard, which counted for 10 votes, or online on a daily basis at the official site which counted for one vote. Fans could select from 1,174 characters to vote for on the website, and could cast one vote each day. Voting ended on February 28, 2021 at 2:59 PM UTC.  The full ranking of the popularity poll was revealed in One Piece Magazine Vol.13. A video showing the progression of the votes in real time was also released on the official One Piece YouTube channel on May 6th 2021.
