How fans reacted to the announcement
Fans were astonished to learn that it had already been six years since the manga began. Given the series' popularity, fans seemingly did not notice how time flew by.
Meanwhile, other fans were much more interested in the popularity poll. They were convinced that manga creator Gege Akutami hated Satoru Gojo. Hence, they predicted that the manga creator would get really irritated if Gojo were to be ranked high on the popularity poll again.
Meanwhile, other fans had a fascinating theory. They believed that Gege Akutami specifically targeted the fans' favorite characters to give them a hellish time. They had observed similar occurrences after the first three popularity poll results were announced.
The winners of the polls often had a hard time in the manga. Hence, those fans advised others to vote wisely as their favorite character could get killed off by the manga creator.
