I'll go and give a little more insight into the nomination process.


 * Best Established Male Character - Law, for his general badassery while still being greatly developed with a terrific backstory.
 * Best Established Female Character - Not very many good options here but I'll go with Robin for not being downplayed.
 * Best New Male Character: Bartolomeo because he is awesome
 * Best New Female Character - Sugar. The girl is legitimately creepy and has continuously impressed me despite her going out in a humiliating way twice.
 * Best Villain: No one other than Doflamingo himself could possibly take the cake. He's the most fearsome guy I've seen since Rob Lucci, and his battle capabilities are unrivaled. But he's not just strong. He has an incredible and twisted backstory that few villains get, and which cemented his place as an full character.
 * Best Character Devlopment - Law was great, but Usopp takes the cake. While his newfound courage is probably not permanent, his choice in 741 really impacted the arc. And his physical abilities also got kicked up a notch with sweet K-Haki!
 * Most Underrated Character - Kin'emons journey was supposed to be a major part of this arc, but due to the unforeseen scope of the arc this was really put in the back-burner. Accepting Kin'emon as a recurring ally has been difficult due to his involvement coming at the same time as the Pirate Alliance. Hopefully Wano will remedy this.
 * Worst Character - I just want Jora to die in a hole.
 * Best Chapter - I found 749 to be the most enjoyable. Not sure why. A good adventurous chapter that got stuff done
 * Best Plot Twist: Nothing can compare to Sabo being alive
 * Best Flashback: Law-Corazon flashback takes the cake. The anime's really done this justice so far as well.
 * Best Fight: This might be odd but Bartolomeo and Cavendish vs. Gladius. After all the setup got out of the way, this was an intriguing battle that pushed these new characters to their limits and kept me at the edge of my seat. There were no cheap moves or unnecessary extensions.
 * Best Devil Fruit: How can you say anything but the Ito Ito no Mi?
 * Worst Chapter: 791. No explanation required.
