Let me know what you thought! Do you want to see more contests in a similar nature? There aren't many characters left that would have 50+ incarnations/adaptations of the same character, but I've considered doing one for "God" (ie, any version of the creator of the universe in a given medium), sort of the opposite of Save My Satan.

Either way, there'll be a brief break before I run any more Save Mys. Next project will be the bi-annual Best New Character 2006, starting sometime in June.

Requesting a video for Endless since everyone else got one

Dang really thought Endless was the odds on favorite to win so this is a bit of a shock! Ryuk is awesome though so not a bad winner at all!

I am satisfied with this result

I was a little let down by the last two finals honestly, felt like one or both finalists didn't really deserve it in each. Glad this contest had a proper final, imo.

It's pretty wild, Endless and Wolf both dominated many of the rounds prior while Ryuk barely held on, so seeing him pull off this win is impressive

sad to see Endless choke in the finals but Ryuk is still a very solid winner

I was a little bummed cause i couldn't in good faith offer a trade on a F3 for the Wolf because I've had some busy days and been sleeping weird hours.

Disappointed but happy with 3rd. Lot of irony with the character because I am someone with an immense fear of death but the movie is good and the character is great. I couldn't envision a character more perfect for the concept to appeal to me.

L, did you know?
Gods of Death love apples.

Congrats! Not my favorite, but not a terrible winner.

Ryuk was I think my fourth from the top 25 or so onward. Pretty happy with his win.

If Grim couldn't make it, I'm glad Ryuk did.

Can't complain about the final four.

Easily the best finals of these so far. The first one was just... not good, in my opinion at least. The second one is degraded by having Delibird in there, which I don't even associate with Santa. Both of these were major characters in their respective series and fit the theme, so happy with that.

Delibird > Robot Devil >>>>>>>>>>>>> Rest

Oh I forgot to say more. I really enjoyed this Save My, JB. It helps that I'm familiar with all of the top 4 and would've been fine with any of them winning. Looking forward to the next one. Creator gods would be interesting, since technically Homestuck characters apply (though they probably wouldn't get far)
