Fantastic amv, Urouge! Great work!
-
Real men peek:
Vote Luffy!! -
Luffy finally winning the popularity contest, not a bad thing although the final is kinda anti-climactic this way..
-
The opening posters are great and your amv Urouge was amazing!! Hmmmm…Now...I am leaning more towards Luffy...I'll wait for a bit.
-
yawn snore bump ouch going with Luffy
-
Luffy. THE LOGICAL CHOICE.
-
voted zoro ^-^ luffy you are amazing, but i'm gonna support marimo!
-
Luffy should win over Zoro. But if this was Buggy instead of Zoro, I would vote him and I think he'd do better agaisnt Luffy.
-
vote for the guy with unlimited blood supply, and who heals with bandages and stitches like magic, vote zoro. -
vote for the impossible
vote for zoro
vote for no devil fruit
we can vote for luffy as soon as he is able to use haki properly. until then he will continue loosing his fights and his members….
-
Yeah he is a captain who made the choice to hurt a celestial dragon puting his crew in danger and hadn't the power to face sentomarou.
Zoro sacrificed himself for luffy and was still put in danger by him at shabaody… Go zoro! Pwn your captain..
-
Both are great characters but i voted for Luffy because of his Devil Fruit powers and his funny
I will post campaigns later -
I hope Luffy wins. I wagered my own account on this.
-
but in the anime zoro can cut luffy in pieces and give them to sanji for a special meal…..anyway,dont forget that luffy is only protected from bullets....he can be cut by a sword ;)
-
Well Zoro's not doing as bad as I thought he would (so far). I was anticipating an almost instant blowout. Guessing that all those random Luffy couple pictures on the first few pages had the reverse effect and compelled some people to vote for Zoro.
There's still lots of time so a turnaround isn't completely impossible. (And nice fanarts, Myrllok.)
@robbybevard:
VOTE FOR HIRILUK!
I'm convinced.
+1 for Hiriluk. -
Luffy all the way. I'm sick of all the Zoro omg badass hype.
-
This is really hard to decide…...but my vote goes to the man who's lost so much blood, it's not funny. Besides, he can cut STEEL. Can Luffy cut steel? I don't think so. Though he can destroy it with Gear Third....
-
Crocodile was doing better than Zoro XD.
-
You should know that no matter who you vote for in the end Nami comes back and defeats them again.
You should also know that She only dropped out because she betted enormous sums back then on Roger´s advancement and you scared the living hell out of her for making things so close and tried to cheat her out of the money mentioned above
-
yeahhh the final!!!
i think i vote for zoro, but 48hours time…let´s just enjoy for a while the compains..maybe some1 will be able to chance my vote
-
Vote for Zoro, since he was the person who give Kuma a watermelon.

this is now my favorite one piece related video ever.

@robbybevard:
! I could post the awesome of Hiriluk by posting the entirety of chapters 142-145 page by page, what with Drum being my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ARC IN THE ENTIRE SERIES, but I don't think I need to. I will drop this off though. (After the man eats a poison mushoom that he knows will kill him to spare Chopper's feelings, begs Kureha to raise him, and then races off to save the lives of other doctors in what he believes is a crisis mind you. Oh, and spending a lifetime to make cherryblossoms bloom in a snow country just to uplift people's spirits. And also taking care of Chopper. and… erm, anyway.)
! "WHEN do you think a man dies?
When his heart is pierced by a bullet from a pistol?
No.
When he succumbs to an incurable disease?
No.
When he drinks soup made with a poisonous mushroom? NO!!!
! He dies …when others have forgotten him!! Even though I will soon be gone, my dream will come true. The ailing hearts of the people will be cured!
! As long as something is there... to be "passed on"...
A monster will be here soon. He is my son. Do not harm him. {Don't worry, Chopper. Your mushroom... won't kill me.} I'll be damned!! IT WAS ONE HELL OF A LIFE!!!"
! And then he blows himself up!
One of the absolute best characters in all of One Piece, hands down.
! VOTE FOR HIRILUK!By gum, that's the best argument I've heard all day! I shall vote Hiriluk post-haste! What ho? Why… Dr. Hiriluk isn't in this poll at all! Shenanigans, I say! Well, if nothing else I shall vote for a man who stands for the good Doctor's principles:
-
I dunno who's winning, and from e1n's beautiful pic I'm thinking of voting Zoro, but I dunno yet.
-
This is pretty anticlimactic. It is 2 days long… but for Zoro to come back from being behind by almost 70 points... that doesn't seem likely. Pretty boring.
Buggy vs. Croc would have been better.
-
Well, Zoro's crushed a lot of characters I actually like to get to this point, while Luffy has obliterated characters I feel meh about (except Robin), but this is the final and it is no place for revenge.
+1 to the swordsman.
-
Boring final is boring.
Theories : Buggy will become a shichibukai just cuz of the Impel Down lvl 6 prisioners behind him, Moria is alive but in a coma, Ivankov will find Sabo in the New World as 1 of the Rev. Army commanders, next nakama is a fishman something like a Great White 
-
This one won't even be close. All the "who suffered more" arguments have all gone right out the window (thank god). Zoro has had a close shave for too many matches and now his time is up. GO LUFFY!!!!
-
Luffy, as stated before in other places I voted, I can't vote againest him. I love zoro but Luffy is going to win this.
-
Boring final is boring.
Agreed, especially if it's not even close ==;; I'm totally not caring at this point, Luffy's gonna win, no point in keeping this open for 2 days ==;
-
I hope Luffy wins. I wagered my own account on this.
Well, as long as you don't have more than, oh, about 100 enemies here on AP, you're probably safe… (I call dibs on your avatar if you do though!)
Luffy all the way. I'm sick of all the Zoro omg badass hype.
Sounds like it's time to re-post some awesome non-badass video moments again:
And soooo … here are a few classic Zoro scenes before

Yeah I think that's going to be a big factor in this – all those AP folks who are still bitter about Buggy and Bon-chan. But that said, cheers to you for overcoming that inclination and following your gut, your heart, or whatever part of you made that decision.
EDIT : Brave Heart!
Sweet! I was hoping you'd start that campaign again. Keep those manga pics coming! -
@dwo:
we can vote for luffy as soon as he is able to use haki properly.
Thanks for helping me choose to vote Zoro.

Arrgghhhh…. super-busy day today for me in Real-Life -- that's going to limit how much I can campaign. But before I race off to catch my carpool, I'll re-post something from another thread that went over well there and won Zoro some votes.

Zoro likes to sleep.

Zoro will sacrifice his life for his nakama…Thats all...anything to add ?_
Yes, here's a few:
-
He thinks of the larger battle as well as the small fights within it. EL is probably the best example of this, where the minute that he regains consciousness after being rescued by Kokoro, he climbs up the steps to get a better view of the Buster Call and of Luffy's fight, and to look for Franky's crew. And when Soge suggests that they try to go back to help Luffy fight, Zoro gives him some plausible "big picture" reasons why that wouldn't be a wise idea. Thinking of the larger picture is also why he's not able to relax (even though everyone else is) until several days after they return to Water 7.
-
He knows that life can be complicated, that not all enemies are evil and that alignments can shift over time – for good examples of this, see his talk with Tashigi about bounty hunters in Loguetown, as well as what he says to T-Bone after their fight on the way to EL.
-
He's a "reliable presence" – that's a phrase taken directly from one of the guide books (I think it was "Yellow"). In other words, Luffy assumes that as long as Zoro is with the rest of the crew, they'll be fine -- that he (Luffy) doesn't have to worry about them. This line from Skypia reinforces that idea. It's when Luffy stumbles over the unconscious bodies of Robin, Choppy, Wiper, "Old Guy" and Zoro (Translation credit: Stephen)
Luffy: ZORO!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?!!!
If you were here...
Then how could this have happened...?!!- He understands when to take commands and when to fight them. When Luffy tells him to save Nami (at Arlong Park) and Smoker (at Alabasta), Zoro grumbles and protests initially, but he ultimately follows orders and saves them. He follows orders to save Hachi, too. The most famous/notorious example of Zoro contesting an order is of course when he threatens to leave the crew unless Luffy gets an apology from Usopp. On the surface, Zoro's demand may seem like a cruel joke, but on a deeper level, it's a way literally/symbolically remind the crew (Usopp in particular) that Luffy is the captain, and that disobeying the captain carries consequences, and that if you disobey, you have to also be willing to accept those consequences.
What else? Oh, yes, one more:
- He cares about his crewmates – he just doesn't show it as obviously as the others do. But it's evident in his actions: catching Robin when she falls after being electrocuted by Ener ; saving Nami from Mr.1 ; holding a bruised and bloody Choppy in his arm after discovering him in Skypiea ; fighting against Ryuma for Brook ; being the first to call a temporary cease-fire in their ongoing "alpha fight" so that he and Sanji can cooperate and defeat Hamburg, Big bun, etc in the Groggy Ring ; telling Sanji (in EL) that he thinks Usopp is strong enough to survive on his own, and then a few chapters later, smiling up at Soge as Soge plays a crucial role in saving Robin:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/420/04/
And probably the best example – just as he's about to fall over in a faint after defeating Mr.1, his final thought isn't "hot damn, I just defeated an assassin and cut metal!", it's: (Credit for translation: Stephen)
Zoro: {I wonder how... they're doing...
Did Nami manage to get away...?!
I hope nobody died... I wanna know what's going on...}So yeah, there we go.
And see, I didn't even have to resort to mentioning booze, bleeding, Kuina or Kuma.
dwo – and all the other Zoro fans out here campaigning today -- keep up the good work! I'll do what I can as soon as I can.
It'll be an uphill climb to win this one, but if we can get enough people to vote so that Zoro has a respectable number a the end, I'll be more than satisfied.

Awesome banner! I can't vote but I appreciate this thread.
Zoro was created to raise standars to superlative heights, but he's a Luffy addict just like we are
. -
Vote for a part of the KillerRoBoT!!!!!
Vote ZORO! -
seems like luffy has no problems here…I expected it to be closer:sad:
-
Goodbye… Zoro!!!
-
Should have let the SHs kill off eachother earlier… Luffy had it way too easy, and took out too many easy opponents.

puh puh puh BLASPHEMY
random Luffy WHAT pictures?
Luffy Harem begs to differ.
-
Yeaaaahahahahahahaha!!!
Go Luffy!!!! Gooooooooooooooo!!!!!! -
No need for 2 days worth of votes. Luffy already won.

The two days are not only meant for the poll itself. It's also so that you members can have your conclusion with the tournament since there won't be a "character tournament 2009 retrospective view" thread. Once this match is over the thread closes and with it probably the entire subforum.
-
Voted Luffy, as he needs to be the King for once. A main character who actually deserves to win is a rarity, and Luffy is just such a main character.
-
Glad to see that Croc is doing better than Zoro, it means he is the 2nd most popular character !!!!

Huh?
You might want to study this breakdown from StatMeister Ubiq:–-------------------
Total Sixth Round Votes
556
608Average per match: 582 (+72)
Votes per character (change from last round)
Luffy 334 (-14)
Zoro 308 (-13)
Buggy 300 (+10)
Crocodile 222 (-46)Highest: Luffy
Lowest: Crocodile
Highest while losing: Buggy
Lowest while winning: Zoro
Biggest increase: Buggy
Biggest decrease: CrocodilePercentages
Luffy 60.07
Zoro 50.66
Buggy 49.36
Crocodile 39.93 -
I think he's looking at the % of Luffy's opponents.
Croc: 39.93%
Zoro atm: 36.89%But even then Robin did better: 42.13%.
So no you can't get Croc as 2nd most popular in any way. And nothing stops Zoro from making the difference smaller. I just hope he won't win and I don't expect him to do. I just want Luffy breaking the 374 votes which he (easely) should with 48 hours. -
Zoro"s precentage right now is 36%, Croc against Luffy had a 39%…
