NOTES ACCORDING TO WEBSITE:

I. FIRST POPULARITY POLL

- The First Popularity Poll was conducted during the FIRST 7 VOLUMES of the manga, so the characters appeared on those volumes are only up to delinquent Mitsui and his gang.

- The time when the serialization of Slam Dunk in Jump was also the era of the popularity of Be-Bop High School, a gangster themed manga. This may explain the reason why Yohei was so popular.

II. SECOND POPULARITY POLL

- The Second Popularity Poll was taken during the match against Sannoh.

- Because of his backstory, Mitsui climbed up from #18 to #2.

Hotta, about Sakuragi Gundan: It’s like you all share one braincell sometimes!

Ohkusu: (can’t think of a good comeback because it’s not his turn to use the braincell)
