A few weeks before the new fall 2023 season ends, “Sousou no Frieren” has positioned itself in a very prominent place, a great story that has enchanted us, charismatic characters that have already earned a place in our hearts and certainly a story that is worth reflecting as well as analyzing, because beyond the “shonen” of this season or the comedy, this anime touches a topic that no one is oblivious to and that is the passage of time. Fortunately, for fans, not everything is seriousness in this work, as the characters have brought a special touch to the anime.
Today, fans of “Sousou no Frieren” will get a big surprise with the latest popularity survey revealed by the official media of the series, because within the top 3 there is an “unexpected guest” that for many may be a surprise, but for others is obviously one of the most beloved by fans.
The most popular characters of “Sousou no Frieren” have finally been revealed!
The official account of “Sousou no Frieren” in X before Twitter has finally revealed the results of the first popularity survey conducted among Japanese users to elucidate who are the most popular characters of the work, this survey was conducted through online voting and has left us with a surprise that many did not expect. Starting from highest to lowest with the first 10 places, we see that the tenth place goes to “Aura, the Guillotine“, in ninth place “Sein“, the Priest who recently joined the new group in the anime, in eighth place we have “Hero of the South” a character that is not yet presented in the anime.
In seventh place we also have an unknown face for the “anime only” of “Sousou no Frieren” as “Denken, the Imperial Wizard” is the one who is positioned there, in sixth place is “Stark” the apprentice of “Eisen” one of the four legendary heroes, in the fifth place (and a disappointment for those who have the joy of writing this because it is not in the first 3 positions) is “Fern” one of the favorite “waifus” of the otaku and a girl who has taken more prominence in the work and on the internet in recent weeks, in fourth place we have “Macht, El Dorado” a character who is also still only part of the manga and not the anime.
And so finally we come to the top 3 places where the number 3 is occupied by nothing more and nothing less than the “mimic chest” who has given us moments quite funny moments and has caused one or another problem to Frieren during his odyssey with the legendary heroes, in second place, The second place could not be other than “Frieren” the silver-haired Elf and the protagonist of “Sousou no Frieren”, and finally we come to the first place who is occupied by “Himmel” the hero who saved humanity and defeated the demon king together with the group of heroes to bring a new era of peace.
As we could see this survey throws us a very interesting surprise and that was that the third place was occupied by nothing more and nothing less than the “mimic” chest who was the protagonist of one of the funniest scenes of the first episodes where we saw Frieren fall into his clutches because of how careless she was during her trip next to Himmel, Heiter and Hisen, a surprise that many fans commented that it was more than deserved that third place as well as a little joke of their own towards the protagonist of “Sousou no Frieren“.
For us it has seemed a very interesting exercise, as it reveals how the Japanese audience chooses their favorite characters and where we can see a very slight discrepancy between the favorites there and who are the favorites in the West, certainly one more reason to keep watching this great anime that has us hooked like very few others this season.
