What about the popularity poll that was said to be in this week's Jump?
There was none?

does it matteR?????
It matters to me…and probably for the guy who started the thread...
So you should be more polite...
Agreed.
It'd be interesting to see where the Supernova's place.
Yeah, i wonder what happened..no one has info?
If there really was a P.P., I'm willingly to bet that either Law or Kid made it to the top 10.
I'm guessing Law has the highest position of the supernovas…but it's just a guess.
^^ Same. 'cause whenever I look at some Japanese O.P. fansites, Law is the most common S.N. you see.

Go home, troll.
oh yeah, and Zoro was number 1 on the poll I believe.

Actually Luffy was always the number 1 by a large margin. I very much doubt it will change.

Oh, I've read in multiple places that Zoro made it number 1 on this poll. It sorta maked sense that he would get a huge boost with the whole Kuma thing. Maybe my sources were wrong.

Zoro and Sanji's numbers are always closer than Zoro(#2) is to Luffy. He has a HUUGEE lead and like someone said, I doubt it'll change.
I think Urouge is pretty popular, on 2ch at least so I'm hoping he'll get a high spot.
Here's to hope that Kaku will stay in the top ten!
Crossbones answered my question at K-F foruns saying he didn't see any poll in the issue…

i've read a while back that it was Zoro over luffy
Well why talking if we don't have anything. It's a bit confusing that the poll isn't even scanned
Here's to hope that Kaku will stay in the top ten!
While I'm not that ambitious, I too hope he makes it to the top 15, he deserves it, and quite honestly aside from Lucci, Law, Reileigh and Kidd I don't see who could be more popular than him (aside from the usual Ace, Shanks, Franky (cause of SH status) and maybe Whitebeard with all this attention.
(here's to hoping Ben/Marco make it to the top 20)

You've read it wrong, Luffy is always 1st.
Here are the three previous polls, links by Imitorar in the movie 10 thread:
Poll #1 - volume 7
Poll #2 - volume 24 part 2
Poll #3 - volume 43 part 2 part 3
Now that i've seen it again, Luffy's margin actually gets larger every poll.
There was never supposed to be any poll results in this issue.
A few weeks ago, they announced it, and urged readers to send in their votes.
Polls usually get colorspreads, so when the info came out that OP was going to get a spread this week,
people assumed it'd be the results of the poll, but it wasn't.
There still IS one though, and we'll be marveling at all its glory in a not too distant future!

I actually wouldn't be surprised if guys like Teach, Garp, Kuma, Odr or Borsalino all make it to the top for the shit they've caused since the last poll. Not to mention that Nightmare Luffy might be a candidate for a seperate mention. And then there's also Brook. I'd actually be greatly surprised if Kaku even remains in the top twenty.

Wat? Really? I like hi and all, but what the hell did he do?
Edit: Nevermind. I thought you were talking about Garp's Lieutenant Bogart.

Lol, thanks for clearing that up. You can't imagine the wtf-impression I had while reading your pre-edit statement.^^
I bet Brook will be pretty popular.I mean he is everywhere else…
I bet Law and Kid will be the only SN(other than Zoro and Luffy)to make it into the top ten.
TBH I hope Zoro gets a bit more love than Luffy this time(Highly doubtful though).
I like Luffy better as a charcter it's just that Zoro has had some great moments throughout TB.I mean when the Mugiwara's(minus Luffy) were fighting Oz,I thought Zoro showed alot of 'Captain'like qualities,Then there was the whole thing with Luffy's pain and fatigue.And although he was severly wounded and drenched in blood he just stood there like a man .
But of course there's kick ass 'Nightmare' Luffy who will boost Luffy's popularity.
Anway...Oda for top ten.
Apapapapapapapapapapapa
Ideally, the SH would each take their places in the top ten. Nami was the lowest ranked SH last time. Perhaps she'll get some more love this time.
Brook's got loads of fans overseas, but last I heard, the Japanese hadn't warmed up to him. Maybe that's changed now though? We'll, see…
Knowing the trend of the votes in previous years, it's doubtful that Zoro will win over Luffy -- but if he does, then that confirms him as OP's "Han Solo" (a supporting character who, against the wishes of the author, eclipses the hero in terms of popularity).

Or to follow in manga terms, Oda's Hiruma, as in Hiruma from Eyeshield 21.
That's pretty common, actually.
Sasuke beat Naruto, Hitsugaya and Rukia beat Ichigo etc.
The only change i can definitely see happening in the top 5 is Usopp overshadowing Chopper and Robin to snatch 4th place.
As for Kaku he'll probably drop a lot…like happened to Mr.2 in the 3rd poll, long after Alabasta.
Noone thinks Franky or Brooke will be in the top 5?
As long as Luffy stays #1 I could care less about the rest.
I just always found it odd that when an author's main character isn't the favorite. To me it sort of shows that that author needs to work on characterization and such. I mean if the main one isn't being well-written enough to stay at the top while another can, what's going on in that brain?
Then again those polls are only for Japanese readers, it isn't a global one.

A scrawny, lanky guy with a cheery disposition doesn't make for a good yaoi doujin. Even Franky can find a niche in the bara scene.

Conspiracy theorists might argue that this is the exact reason why Luffy is currently solo in the spotlight and why that other guy has been abruptly "disappeared" for a few months (chapters) …

For me it gives more than one main character. For Ichigo I favour many characters in bleach ahead of him. That is Rukia, Yachiru, Kenpachi and Hitsugaya. For Naruto he is my favourite in Naruto. In my opinion it is antiquated by some Mangas to only see one chief character, One Piece belonged to these Mangas.
For Tenjou Tenge I seen a long time one main character even though he wasn’t my favourite but since he have his eye patch he belonged to my favourites. Now after I progress with the story I think there are 3 main characters because there are hints that they will doing big doings.

Then I'm lucky most conspiracies turn out to be simple paranoia right?
My top ten prediction:
1. Luffy
2. Zoro
3. Sanj
4. Robin
5. Chopper
6. Usopp
7. Brook
8. Law
9. Franky
10. Nami

Jump's well-known policy (more popular = more screentime) kinda ruins that theory anyway.

I thought the same thing. It's only natural for the Main character to be most popular….since everyone else is Support. Support is there to support the main character, not the other way around.
Nothing against Bleach, but it's like every 100 chapters before the main character Ichigo gets a fight in or does something important. It became like wrestling or something, where u read it just to watch different random guys fight each other...Naturally Ichigo isn't going to be the most popular...
Then I'm lucky most conspiracies turn out to be simple paranoia right?
Yes, exactly.
That's why I never put faith in them myself either.
(But it is a tempting theory nonetheless … that a mangaka, in a panic over popularity poll results, would banish his most popular supporting character from the series in order to put his own -- and his audience's -- focus back where it belongs: on the hero...)
I really don't know if anyone has created a post about it or if it's in the regular thread but I finally found the list for the latest popularity poll.
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/894931/Concours.jpg.html
Personally, this sort of makes me wish they didn't do the poll during Sabaody since…well, it just feels weird Law made the top ten when he hasn't done that much so far and this doesn't really reflect the end of the arc when I think Kizaru would have probably done higher. (also, I found it funny Oda mentioned Ryotsu from KochiKame also made the list this time)
Why the fuck is Kid so high up he should go die.
Oh.. Sanji was close to beat Zoro this time! :D The voters are getting smarter!
Hell Kuma isn't on there.
Hmmm. I'm a little disapointed that Franky only got 13th, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He hasn't done much since he joined the crew.
Also, how in the world did Buggy beat Kizaru?
Kuma`s 52th.
Thank you for linking to the bigger scan~
Oh.. Sanji was close to beat Zoro this time! :D The voters are getting smarter!
So true
Good to see Law in the Top 10 too.
I don't get why Law and Ace are so high up and Kidd only the 15th.
Fuck that>< This poll makes no sense at all!!!
Why is Vivi 14th!!! And why are Franky and Usopp not in the top 10?
And how the hell did Bellmere beat guys like Moria. Why isn't Kuma higher!?! I could write an essay on how much this poll doesn't make sense! Goddamn, those Japanese are screwy><
Why the hell is Zoro not atleast 1000 votes ahead of Sanji, after what he has done on Thriller Bark?
Yeah, this poll looks really messed up. I never understand why Ace and Mihawk always get so much votes. Also, Pell got more votes than Crocodile? WTF?! Though, it's nice to see Smoker made it into the Top 20.
Anyway, thanks for the bigger picture.
I don't get why Law and Ace are so high up and Kidd only the 15th.
Big part of the voters are crazy undersmurfed girlies who like cute boys and don't really care for characterization, plots, events, etc.^^
