Source is official Frieren twitter. I have transcribed and translated the top 20 below. I am not great at Japanese, so can’t claim to translate the whole list, but I also included a couple other notable characters in a table further down.
| Rank | Character |
|---|---|
| 1 | Himmel |
| 2 | Frieren |
| 3 | Mimic |
| 4 | Macht |
| 5 | Fern |
| 6 | Stark |
| 7 | Denken |
| 8 | Hero of the South |
| 9 | Sein |
| 10 | Aura |
| 11 | Heiter |
| 12 | Land |
| 13 | Übel |
| 14 | Solitär |
| 15 | Serie |
| 16 | Flamme |
| 17 | Eisen |
| 18 | Methode |
| 19 | Wirbel |
| 20 | Sense |
Other characters I was able to pick out pretty quickly:
| Rank | Character |
|---|---|
| 34 | Linie |
| 41 | Kraft |
| 48 | Graf Granat |
| 50 | Lugner |
| 56 | Sein’s Brother |
| 92 | Draht |
Himmel has been dead for ~80 years and still beats the titular character in her own popularity poll. Himmel truly deserves the hero title.
He deserved that sword.
