Asta and Yami rank 1 and 2, as they have for the previous three polls. Below them is a toss-up as the characters and their rankings drastically change with each poll. While typically just a simple marketing tool, popularity polls are sometimes used by the mangaka to determine what characters should be the focus of upcoming chapters. Unpopular characters can even somtimes be written out or killed off.
