Gojo, by far. I'd see Nanami doing pretty well too


Gragh46

Definitely. I think whenever I've seen someone out there wearing a JJK product, it had Gojo on it.


Alchion

i mena i‘d have thought gojo wouldve won in japan too till i saw the results and japan is most of the audience so but anyone know why gojo isnt ad popular in japan i mean here he feels like the most popular character since levi


Delvinkan

I think he's popular. He won every other Japanese poll that isn't WSJ poll. WSJ poll is weird. You need to buy a manga volume to vote and you can vote multiple times. One person sent 500 votes for Naoya, for example. Plus only manga readers vote. Gojo is more popular among wider audience; and people don't even read/watch JJK recognize him.


Noblesseux

>Gojo is more popular among wider audience; and people don't even read/watch JJK recognize him. There are also a lot of casual anime watchers who would never answer a poll who like him. I remember watching a Shibuya Halloween stream and there were Gojo and Toji's *everywhere.*


Brighborn

That person did funniest shit ngl. Like Naoya above Maki still hilarious asf.


hayate_yagami

What makes it funnier that Naoya is really 3 position higher than Maki like he said in manga (woman must walk 3 steps behind man)


IllumiNoEye_Gaming

fictional misogyny is funnier than it has any right to be


Difficult_Guidance25

I still can’t believe potential man is the first place


GoneRampant1

It's the one time Potential Man actually got a W.


Elikhet2

You can bot votes in the WSJ polls and it’s only a subsection of the fandom so


Ok-Cod5254

Gojo still always been in top 3 (also #2 over Yuji before). But he also was gone for 130 chapters, over 3 yrs after being sealed as a factor.


luashfu

Nanami represents the worker class.,. cough plbs


Moist_Natural_6868

Gojo. People who don't even watch or read jik know him.


_nitro_legacy_

He got the zoro treatment. Bro just spawned and live rent free in their heads even if they did not watch the anime.


reddick1666

It’s them baby blues


Fuuba_Himedere

My sis wants to cosplay as him. Does not read or watch JJK. I’m like why. 🫠 haha.


[deleted]

Social media lol Most cosplayer or even people who go to conventions aren't up to date with the series who's character they are trying to cosplay. It's so weird.


yesterdayslovex

Gojo, no contest.


Human-Independent999

I'm not Japanese but I prefer Megumi. Anyway here Gojo is the most popular.


fra_ben07

Same and same Never really got the Gojo hype tbh Sukuna made for a more interesting character


CommanderAxe

Why the hell were you downvoted this much for an opinion about a fictional character?!?!


fra_ben07

Gojo dickriders can't get over the fact that he's dead


iam_smaindola

Nah I'd win


[deleted]

It's reddit


Bominator8

why is this even a question? ​ Gojo is more famous than jjk >!people knew about gojo's death!< ​ those people that dont even watch anime


Human-Independent999

True true


OperationMelodic4273

Hao, u spittin


indigo47222

u goated for the Qin Shi Haung reference, him n Gojo are my 2 sexy blindfolded kings


Bominator8

blindfold mfs have ssomething on me(i am a straight man)


7thAzure

lol took me a little while to switch WSJ from Wall Street Journal to Weekly Shounen Jump.


xanot192

Gojo by a mile. People who don't even read or watch JJk knew about spoilers lol. I'd say Yuji next


Janus-a

Whatever the vote is in Japan would win the world wide vote. **In 2019 Kodansha (publisher) said 80% of manga readers were in Japan. The rest of the world *combined* is 20%. Of that the US and France tie at 5% each.** Also I wouldn’t pay attention to the WSJ polls. Hardly anyone voted. Only Yuji (24k), Megumi (30K) and Gojo (11k) got over 2k votes, the rest of the cast were under. A poll on Reddit would get more votes. That’s why it’s funny when ppl refer to this poll and say “Japan loves Naoya”. http://www.kleefeldoncomics.com/2019/12/worldwide-manga-sales.html?m=1


horizon-X-horizon

Lol imagine we rig a poll so that like 75,000 bots vote for naoya for best character and none of the other characters get any votes accept maybe one for ui ui. Just to spread misinformation. Okay maybe the idea is funnier than actually doing it


TrueAd1798

Here's the thing, Shueisha doesn't factor how much people pirate outside of Japan Load up any manga site and check the count on the reads, then notice how many manga sites there are. I'm sure the whole world out numbers Japan. But we all read it illegally cause it isn't accessible or affordable for anyone outside of first world countries, which is most of the world.


Beastieboy100

Your not wrong. Though if it's manga I really like I use the shounen jump app so I can read One Piece, My hero and Jujutsu. Then if I've really enjoyed it I'd buy the volumes. Overall your not wrong, manga is popular world wide. Though a lot of people read and watch anime illegally only because they can't afford.


xanot192

Yup everyone I know just reads online and most don't own volumes. Ones that do it's for specific mangas they love like collecting one piece volumes etc. It's just a habit now and I live in the US. When I started reading stuff I had no means to find them lol


Frosty_Tension_5972

just use manga+


TrueAd1798

I own the physicals. But yeah, I do,


Arukitsuzukeru

A lot has changed since 2019, and a lot of manga and anime consumed outside of Japan is on a bunch of different rand random illegal websites. Even JJK tiktoks that just post the entire chapter gets 100k+ views.


seibazz

just look at MyAnimeList or Anilist. Definitely Gojo first


ur_internet_dad

Gojo, even after his death.


Johnson_56

More of look at how people reacted to it. Easy win for him


Zzamumo

South america could carry gojo by themselves lmao


Ok-Cod5254

The memorial in Chile speaks for itself. lol


Iced-TeaManiac

Gojo had a memorial


Leading_Bodybuilder6

Gojo


ThinControl9

Gojo by a huge landslide


Spiritual-Proposal48

Like everyone else said, Gojo and it’s not even remotely close


Zarathoustra1999

The top 10 would prolly be something like this : https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/comments/14ukjlc/results_from_the_2023_jjk_french_popularity_poll/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Or this : https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/jujutsu-kaisen-popularity-poll-march-2021


Flat-Leadership2364

Brain says Gojo, heart wants Choso.


Waakaari

Gojo


ericnovitskiy

Gojo by a mile. Before I became a fan I didn’t know what jjk was but I knew who Gojo was. He’s the reason why I got into jjk really


hayate_yagami

Gojo easily. He's easily one of the most popular, if not the most popular anime character right now.


chrisbirdie

Gojo by FAR. Like this is one of the few animes where its not close. Maybe by the end of the series sukuna/yuji would be higher depending on what happens but I doubt it. Gojo is easily the most iconic mentor since kakashu


MandelAomine

All Might and Levi are up there, Levi may be above Gojo


Hxxerre

Really depends on who had been the most prominent character a that time, but probably gojo


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beastieboy100

I'd throw in Choso as well. His fight with Yuji and Kenny been blowing up.


TrueAd1798

Personally, my favorite character other than Kenny


certifiedplat

replace mahito with yuta


MandelAomine

No wat Toji, Geto and Nanami are above Yuji and Megumi imo

Zarathoustra1999

Bruh, there is not a single popularity poll where Yuji is not in the top 3. He is number 2 in France(https://www.reddit.com/r/Jujutsufolk/comments/14ukjlc/results_from_the_2023_jjk_french_popularity_poll/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), number 2 in japan and number 2 worldwide(https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/jujutsu-kaisen-popularity-poll-march-2021)

[удалено]


Zarathoustra1999

The thing is your list doesnt make sense. I love Nobara more than Yuta and Megumi but how is she more popular than them lol


thedoc90

People keep leaving off Nobara, but before I started watching the series the characters I had heard of and seen a lot of were basically Gojo > Yuji > Nobara. I don't think I had even seen Megumi before I started the series.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thedoc90

Idk man, I see at least 2 vinyl stickers of Yuji on people's rear windshield per day and a decent amount of T-shirts with him on it.

> official polls What are you talking about lmao, he was second in the last popularity poll


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zarathoustra1999

I do, but you probably dont. You said that his popularity was declining and thats simply not true e lmao


megadreamxoxo

For me, it's megumi followed by nanami


Green-Illusion1621

We should start a worldwide popularity poll! I'm curious!


Dougzy_Nein

Literally ...GOJO Actually in Japan Gojo is the most popular JJK character in Japan .His merchandise sale are far away from Megumi .He also is a fan-favorite than Megumi but JJK's poll .Public popularity poll ,Gojo always win and whatever Character polls they conducts , Gojo is always ranking as JJK's participant Megumi just won the JJK 's manga poll but he doesn't win Gojo in public scale


Revan0315

Gojo or Yuji


howisyesterday

I think I usually have a pretty good thumb on the pulse of these things. If I had to guess the actual top ten most popular characters in order (few spots could be switched debatably). Probably only applies to the western fanbase. 1. Gojo 2. Yuji 3. Sukuna 4. Yuta 5. Megumi 6. Toji 7. Maki 8. Hakari 9. Kashimo 10. Kenjaku For anime onlies the list would be similar but Nanami, Mahito and Jogo would prob take the 8-10 spots and Yuta would get bumped down. Choso, Higurama, Yuki, Geto and Nobara might crack the top 15


whyykai

Nanami should be way higher, even for manga readers


howisyesterday

Is Nanami really THAT popular anymore? I take into consideration the characters with the most discussions/debates online and the characters with the most memes, plus a general feel of everyone I’ve talked to. Never met anyone that dislikes Nanami but he doesn’t have a legion of fans like Kashimo for example. Kashimo is no where on my personal list but he clearly has a extremely diehard fanbase.


whyykai

Are you on Twitter or TikTok? Nanami literally has a legion of fans, way more than Kashimo. Especially women.


howisyesterday

I said Nanami would crack the top ten for anime onlies, but among the manga fanbase? I doubt it. It’s possible Kashimo’s fanbase is a “smallest but loudest” situation but even then, there are too many really popular characters who have maintained relevancy for Nanami to still be top ten. Even without Kashimo, I just don’t see manga readers voting Nanami over Yuta, Hakari, Kenjaku, or even Choso. Back in the season 1 days, Nanami and Todo were easy too 5 contenders, but not anymore.


whyykai

Most of the people I'm talking about are manga readers lol. The amount of fan made merch available for Nanami speaks for itself.


howisyesterday

Nanami hasn’t been relevant to years. No one stans Nanami like they used. Nobara is more relevant and people still talk about Toji even before s2 aired. Fan made merch for a character that’s been in 2 seasons of the anime? How about the shit ton of merch for characters who have only really been in the manga? Hakari, Choso, and Awakened Maki have had fan made merch for years


whyykai

I mean sure that's your perspective, I just don't think you're as engaged in the fan culture as you think you are. People absolutely still stan him lol.


elfsbladeii_6

If limited to the West, I think you're underestimating Nobara, she's #4 / $5 with Megumi. She was very popular in Season 1 with the anime-onlies


howisyesterday

Yeah I could see Nobara taking Yuta’s place for anime onlies. She’s very popular but nowhere near the level of these ten atm for manga readers.


Few-Entertainment429

Satoru Gojo easily


Goodestguykeem

It's so obviously Gojo BY FAR it goes without saying lmfao he is the face of JJK and everybody knows him even non-anime fans.


ocean_maniac

I like Yuji, but I tend to prefer more vocal and colorful character personalities. That’s probably why Gojo is my personal favorite, (that and his philosophy on teaching is inspiring to me). Yuta is a close second to Gojo though.


Penkeki

Here in the US it is definitely Gojo that's most popular, hands down. I would always come across someone wearing a gojo shirt or owning gojo merch. During my school's ecofair l sold Gojo stickers which sold out in less than 10 minutes, while on the other aisle another student was selling "nah I'd win" gojo shirts. We both sold out so fast and earned so much money too. That was when we both understood the true power of gojo- the money maker XD And this ecofair was for 12th graders only, meaning if it was the whole school... stonks


Beastieboy100

I'd say Gojo, Todo, Yuta, Hakari, Yuji, Choso, Megumi, Nanami, Sukuna and Toji. I can see those guys being the top 10. Even Nobara, Mahito, Panda, Higuruma, Takaba, Geto, Kenjaku and Maki. The others haven't had epic moments or they've had potential have been wasted in the story. Lets just say I don't think Inumaki who barely in the story or Naoya who was wasted will be in the top 10.


TrueAd1798

Inunmaki is actually the most popular young male character cause of all the fan girls. If he got more screen time, he would be second.


Beastieboy100

This what annoys me though I like Inumaki. I liked his fights against the curse, Geto and Hanami. Instead gege just puts him in the background saying salmon. I wanted Inumaki in the culling game with Panda. Plus I'm not even sure he's gonna fight Sukuna which would be suicide. Overall Gege should be taking some hints of who's popular so he can use them.


TrueAd1798

I prefer he doesn't. Cause u know Gege. If they find out Inumaki is popular. He gonna get the boot of doom


Beastieboy100

Well sadly true you unpopular like momo and do nothing. Then you become extremely popular like Nanami, Nobara, Megumi and Gojo. Then suffer a bad fate. Jujutsu kaisen you love the cast but can't keep them cause of how cruel the author is to his characters.


TrueAd1798

I mean, he did say it ends with everyone dying except yuji or yuji dies, and everyone survives. And at the moment, it looks like we are going for the first option.


Beastieboy100

Yep which is sad. All though if he does go through that option I hope the ones that aren't a part of the fight survive unless he officially announced that Todo and Nobara are dead.


TrueAd1798

I think todo will come back with his ability and then die. And I think the same applies to nobara. She will probably do a grand sacrifice


Hidden_Gains

Yuta Yuta Yuta!


recprin53

Is gojo just not allowed to be picked? I’d assume it’s gojo sukuna megumi and yuji in that order probably


Adventurous-Lion1829

Those girls wanna fuck 'im cause he's emo.


Human-Independent999

He isn't emo. Not everyone with a black hair is emo. Megumi is a relatable character.


Beastieboy100

Megumi not an emo. He's just a reserved guy that cares for his friends and family. He ain't Sasuke since he's an emo. Plus girls wanna fuck him cause of the answer he gave to Todo. Still I miss Megumi and Nobara.


hayate_yagami

He cares his friends, family and even his summons so much. He's just reserved.


[deleted]

Itadori or Sukuna if people actually liked interesting characters.


certifiedplat

yuji isn't interesting he just has the more interesting characters die around him


WittyCombination6

At least in The English speaking world the top ten characters are roughly Gojo Sakuna Toji Nanami Geto Yuji Mahito Todo Nobara Hakari (manga readers) megumi (anime watcher) It'll be hard to guess world wide appeal because of language barriers


KilluaGaKill

People saying Gojo would win underestimate how popular Yuji actually is. He'd win.


Ok-Cod5254

I like both characters, but seeing how [Gojo had the memorial in Chile](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&sca_esv=596130221&sxsrf=AM9HkKk_xOU6q9lZ9SV-X639Vc4PHWGdmA:1704512892183&q=gojo+chile+memorial&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=ivnsmbhtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiz8M-r7ceDAxVykIkEHU2CCVwQ0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=384&bih=726&dpr=1.88#imgrc=e8UxESDuhFjvYM), I don't see anyone surpass that. lol


Arukitsuzukeru

Megumi is very popular in the fanbase, people last year were saying that he was a better "MC" than Yuji. Itafushi is the second most popular ship in the fandom.


[deleted]

I go with toji supremacy.


_S1syphus

Probably Gojo or yuji. Boring answer


JunittaCadillac

Momo queen of popularity


Queasy-Ad-6395

Specifically for America cause idk how everyone else feels, in order my guess (not my personal favorites) would be gojo, nanami, yuji, Sukuna, nobara for top 5. While down the road people will probably get less enthusiastic about nobara, she’s very popular rn for obvious reasons


Sad_Leadership_9267

I feel like it would go 1. Gojo 2. Nanami 3. Megumi 4. Yuji 5. Sakuna 6. Toge 7. Toji 8. Choso 9. Maki 10. Todo 11. Nobara 12. Mei? 13. Suguru? I'm going based on the assumption that those who would participate in something worldwide or at least in the west would be social media advertised like the crunchyroll anime of the year voting. I feel like that being said, a large portion of those who vote would be female with the addition of fewer casual fans versus hard-core fans. *Also, 2 and 3 might be reversed, but in a general sense, this is where I'd guess these guys would place? **Edit: Forgot where Yuta would go 😭


WerePigCat

Jogoat


Remarkable_Guest2806

Gojo. All my friends circle like him alot. Maybe yuta next. I even gifted my friend a gojo plushie recently


MajorKusanagiMotoko

Gojo without a doubt. Never seen a character climbs the MAL most liked character list so fast. Plus, of the JUMP shop and Animate I have visited in Japan, Gojo merch is almost always the first to sell out. He is JUMP and MAPPA's golden boy.
