Fifty years ago, on August 1, 1968, the first issue of Weekly Shonen Jump hit newsstands.  As part of the publication's 50th Anniversary, a number of special events and features are being planned all year long. In addition to an international manga contest, Jump polled its readers to discover who they would collectively select as its strongest heroes.  Check out the Top 10 below.  To see the full (Top 100) results, CLICK HERE.
  1. Goku - Dragon Ball
  2. Giorno Giovanna - JoJo's Bizzarre Adventure
  3. Sakata Gintoki - Gintama 
  4. Monkey D. Luffy - One Piece
  5. Korosensei - Assassination Classroom
  6. Saiki Kusuo - The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K.
  7. Arale - Dr. Slump
  8. Kankichi Ryotsu -  Kochikame
  9. Jotaro Kujo - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 Stardust Crusaders
  10.  Uzumaki Naruto - Naruto
Other notable entries include Fist of the North Star's Kenchiro at #11,  Bleach's Ichigo Kuraski who comes in at #20, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo at #14, Rurouni Kenshin's Himura Kenshin at #16, Yusuke Urameshi of Yu Yu Hakushu at #17 and Black Clover's Asta at #42. 

Based on the results, it appears the readers voted in a mixture of power-levels and popularity as there's no way a character such as Kankichi Ryotsu is more powerful than someone like Ichigo.
