#anyways i love!! tiger&bunny but at least in regards to yuri this was just not it. wish we had gotten a proper arc focused on him

I'm like half a year late but i finally finished tiger&bunny and WHAT was the fucking point of killing yuri in the end like why

Not to mention that they didn't even give us taibani facing lunatic at the end and instead gave us that stupid fight where he isn't even in control of his body

I feel like they had a clear vision of what to do with yuri as a character in the first season but appaently had none of that for s2? They just have his mom killed and then kill him off too in such a half assed way...

Tiger & Bunny 2 - Character Popularity Poll

The Japanese website Netorabo ran a Character Popularity Poll from May 29th to June 5th, 2022. The poll received 1,751 votes and the question asked was, “Who is your favorite TIGER & BUNNY 2 character?”

They had 16 characters on the poll, plus a “Other” option. So, here are 11 - 16 + the “Other” option, along with how many votes they got:

Other  - 17 Votes

#16 - Agnes - 3 Votes

#15 - Fugan/Hugan - 6 Votes

#14 - Mugan  - 7 Votes

#13 - Subaru / Mr. Black - 13 Votes

#12 - Thomas / He Is Thomas - 18 Votes

#11 - Lara / Magical Cat - 19 Votes

Unsurprisingly, we have the newer heroes and the antagonists here. This makes sense to me, since the audience is still learning about the new heroes. I’m also not surprised by the order of the new heroes and their popularity. Lara and Thomas tend to be more generally favored over Subaru in both the Japanese and international fanbase (he’s personally my least favorite of the new heroes, as well).

Mugan and Fugan/Hugan being so low makes sense too. I enjoyed them as antagonists, but they were just here for this one cour, so a lot of people aren’t going to have them as their favorite character. The same can be said for Agnes. I love her character, but I wouldn’t choose her as my favorite character in the whole series. A part of me does wonder if her ranking would have been a bit higher if she was still skinny (sadly, there as been quite a bit of fatphobic comments in regards to Agnes among the Japanese fanbase, so it does just make me go “hmm...”, you know).

Now, for the Top 10! 🥳

#10 - Antonio / Rock Bison  - 32 Votes

#9 - Nathan / Fire Emblem - 36 Votes

#8 - Paolin / Dragon Kid - 52 Votes

#7 - Karina / Blue Rose - 73 Votes

#6 - Keith / Sky High - 87 Votes

#4 - Yuri Petrov - 96 Votes

#4 - Ivan / Origami Cyclone - 96 Votes

#3 - Ryan / Golden Ryan - 166 Votes

#2 - Barnaby Brooks Jr.  - 291 Votes

#1 - Kotetsu / Wild Tiger - 739 Votes

Kotetsu annihilated them, omg!  😂 😂 😂This ranking isn’t all that surprising to me, T&B fans absolutely love Kotetsu. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything interesting going on with this ranking though. Ryan being in third place was a bit of a surprise for me. I knew he was well liked in the fanbase in general, but I didn’t realize it was by that much. I find it fascinating that Yuri just goes by Yuri here and not Lunatic. I would assume it is because Lunatic doesn’t really make an appearance in the first cour. 

Anyway, this fan ranking is pretty fun to compare to the Hero TV Rankings:

It would also be interesting to see the differences in character rankings between this Japanese fanbase centered poll and an international fanbase centered poll.
