He deserves it.

Was hoping for Lunas second win. She was the first time one of my nominations won during the Save that magic user.

Thanks to all for getting Tatsumaki so far.

Was hoping Sonoko or Mimori would beat Yuna.

Lol once the two save rounds started the My hero Academia girls dropped like flies.

Tag me for the next save that, Kaja.

I'm amazed our mascot character never showed up: the guy that complains why his arbitrary pick wasn't in the contest when he never participated in nominations, who then proceeds to attack unreleated characters.

I was meaning to mention that a few rounds ago. I'm actually disappointed that he never showed up.

Dragon of the WeCEt

More people need to see Samurai Flamenco, IMO. Good show. Didnt expect my nomination to get anywhere and honestly expected him to get cut the first time I missed a topic. So he ended up doing a bit better than I thought.

---

My first time getting nominations for one of these, and Iroh was one of them!

Ciri could have gotten a bit higher, but I think I was warned when she got kicked out. I think it was the same with Thane, but could be wrong on that.


---

I also plan to binge My Hero Academia soon, so maybe the characters who went out early will do better in future Save That's. I watched Avatar: TAL for the first time just last year, and loved it, so I'll definitely help out those characters from now on.

Kind of surprised the DC heroes went out so early. Wonder Woman didn't even make it past Round Zero.

Wish Frenchie and Michelangelo did better. Happy that Sokka, Molly Weasley and Hicks did well.

It seems like Luna is a forced to be reckoned with. Making it to the finals both times she's been nominated.

---

Iroh's previous rankings:

Cartoon characters: 88th
Royals: 34th

I think that's it to be honest. I could have sworn he was nominated at least once more.

So...how did your favorites do? Any surprises or close calls this game? Who went out too early?

Well I would have liked some of my favs from the list like Sokka, Tifa, and especially Lloyd to do a bit better, but they all for to the top 20, so that's still good. I missed noms for this one but there were some great ones to back.

Yay Iroh!

I remember him going out cause I messed up my vote and missed him or something. Guess it was Royals. He came back with a vengeance.

Iroh was such a great character. Wise and funny. With a dark history. It's easier to relate because we don't see much of it, but he came from a very bad place. He was all in on the war. It took the loss of his son to turn him around. So it's actually fairly. And then he saved Zuko and ultimately his people and the world. Of course even in his past he wasn't all bad. He was no Ozai or anything. He may have backed the war, but he still seemed to have some respect for the other nations. And he was smart enough to know that hunting dragons to extinction was dumb.

---

I'm still disappointed that Wrex went out at 35. At least I finally got him a win recently, but I've managed to drag him to the top 10 or 20 several times.

I think if you do Heroes vs. Villains, the top 50 of each would be plenty.

Kajagogo posted...

Who went out too early?

Geno.

Hopefully there will be another one I can nominate Lara Croft with Tomb Raider turning 25, I would love to get her a win.

Give me a tag

---

Tag please.

I would have liked to see Luna win again, but otherwise I can't complain too much.

Kajagogo posted...

100 would be plenty IMHO.

Congrats Iroh!
Never seen Avatar, but judging from these posts I think his win was deserved.

I'm just glad my one nomination got in the top 10. Never expected Samwise to actually compete, so that was nice!

---

I'm okay with this.

Molly Weasley (Harry Potter)

She must outlast Bellatrix.

Lots of good characters to support. Gonna take Bern to the top.
---

Are you just taking the top 50% from each of the villain and hero battles for that hero vs. villain?

---

Well it's just to give everyone a little break from the characters involved. But I guess I can do it as early as Autumn of this year.

I liked this contest, and Yuna making the top 5 made me happy.

Any idea what the next contest will be?

I was thinking about doing Elders.

I know some people are interested in it, while others aren't interested in it at all, but I think it's a good topic. But, I could change my mind by April and just let you guys decide with a poll. I'm a little iffy on it now that Iroh won this one though. We'll see.

How did luna make it so high?
