Oh, for those who don't know the rest of the popularity poll, the results published were as follows:


 * 1) Lucy
 * 2) Natsu
 * 3) Erza
 * 4) Happy
 * 5) Wendy
 * 6) Gray
 * 7) Mirajane
 * 8) Juvia
 * 9) Laxus
 * 10) Carla
 * 11) Jellal
 * 12) Gildarts
 * 13) Cana and Lisanna (tie)
 * 14) Loke
 * 15) Mystogan (glad to see people still think of him :3)
 * 16) Kagura
 * 17) Mavis (surprised she's here tbh...)
 * 18) Yukino
 * 19) Makarov

Well, this makes me laugh, because as Western fans curse the 2 main characters and quite a lot of Team Natsu, this at least shows that the Japanese fans adore them a lot more. Heck, the first person outside of Team Natsu (I include Wendy and Carla here) is Mirajane at 7 - she literally gets beaten by ALL of Team Natsu XD XD Jellal is the first non-FT member (no surprises there) and Loke is the only Spirit, again, no real surprise :P

I know people on tumblr (particularly the Gray community) are all butthurt and going on about how "this isn't legit" and crap, but who cares. There is no way to poll everyone and whilst people missed out, it still shows that Team Natsu is incredibly popular in Japan :)

Enjoy~
