| By "Greatest", I mean by popularity and by quality. Currently, I think Lelouch is the greatest, but Eren may pass him. I'm not sure, I haven't read the manga. (I totally also forgot about Goku, Spike and Gon, they're pretty good as well) |

| I don't care about popularity to be honest, lots of waifus are popular but they only have big boobs, same for anime boys, they are only popular because they look good. anyways, best protag is Kenshirou from Hokuto no Ken or Guts from Berserk |
    |
Reinhardo sama from legend of the galactic heroes. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| From the poll I would say Light Yagami, but my personal favorite is Spike Spiegel. |
 |
| A tie between lelouch, luffy, gintoki and guts |
 |
| Lelouch is the greatest protagonist of all time imo. |
 |
| from the poll, Lelouch my personal favourite is Touma from Index |
| my personal favorite is Araragi but from the poll options I would pick Okabe |
 |
| sakata gintoki from gintama, greatest anime protagonist of all time |
| Can't decide between Light and Lelouch so I flipped a coin Light it is. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| Other : Yuusei Fudou This is based on fact, not my opinion. He is underrated but he's the greatest MC all the time, you'll know him if you watch the anime Yu☆Gi☆Oh! 5D's. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| My top 3 atm is: 1- Eikichi Onizuka 2- Gintoki Sakata 3- Guts |
| For me luffy is Greatest Protagonist of all time. |
 |
| You can’t really decide who is the greatest protagonist of all time since everybody will just vote for their favourite character Well for me Light Yagami it is |
| I would personally say Lelouch tho I chose Gintoki because I know when I finally finish Gintama he'd probably be my no.1 character oat |
  『ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴ-ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴊᴜᴅɢᴇ ᴏꜰ ꜰɪʀᴇ』 Then her jaw slackened as she muttered out. [I... am the bi◼️?] ☽ † ☾ - ᴅᴇʟɪᴠᴇʀɪᴇꜱ- ꜱɪɢ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʙʏ ʜᴜᴍᴀɴᴛᴡɪɢ |
| I like some MCs but it seems I always love one of the side characters more. Um, I'm going through Berserk right now and Guts is great, but from thread poll I guess I'll go with Light Yagami. He was a great, non-self-insert character, and I appreciate that his series afforded him permanent losses unlike most other MCs. |
 |
| Mine would've been Atem and Yugi Muto, but they're not here so I guess I'll settle with Light and Saitama |
Sore wa chigau yo! - Junko Enoshima, probably |
| I choose Lelouch. I mean, I like Okabe and all but I wouldn't call him a "great" man. But Lelouch...he's so over the top, larger than life and so very anime. |
 |
| Other than Okabe and Gintoki, Phosphophylite (from Land of the lustrous) is also one of the best protagonist ever. The amount of development he has gone through is insane. |
 |
| Anyone with a brain and a heart would know it's Naruto Uzumaki. |
| Popularity: According to MAL the most popular anime is Death Note so Light. Quality: Gintoki |
 |

| Most beloved protagonist I think is luffy Greatest I don't know everyone gonna choose their fav so I choose Subaru as greatest |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It's either between Le leouch or Eren |
| if we're only picking from the list, then it's subaru natsuki. reinhard (lotgh) is my personal favourite. |
| Eren fans didn't get the memo? Their bots have been wiped out lol, no chance ever of Eren reaching first place. |
Prophetess of the Golden Era  |
| Natsuki Subaru, although I wouldn't say he is objectively the greatest but he is my favorite out of all of these, but he's still really well-written regardless, he has a lot of good development especially in later content in the novels, the way his character is explored and developed is really good in my opinion. |

| the legends that are these characters: |
xAki1ra_ said: Lelouch cuz he prob has the most character development Ok no, Eren is the most developed protagonist in anime. While I do think Lelouch is greater, it's not because of his development. |
|
| Really like Kaneki, Gon, Light, and Eren but its gotta be lelouch If I choose one |
 |
| bro, wheres is our lord and savior keyaru sama. he is without doubt the best and Greatest Anime Protagonist of All Time. |
 |
| Hmm, from this poll alone I would say Mob, Light, or Eren; but if I were to name a few characters that aren't on this poll, I would definitely say Gon, Araragi, or Kiritsugu Emiya |
| ill choose Lelouch, hes the greatest for me |
 |
| Gintoki is quite easily the best for me and my favorite as well |
 ManWild |
| I was thinking about reading it specially becoz of the danger of getting spoiled. Guess i'll have to read it soon |

Guess i'll have to read it soonextremephile said: Aren't they pretty much the same after the manga ended? Even though that happened, Lelouch > Eren. Or if you haven't read aot, I insist you read it to truly understand eren.It's either between Le leouch or Eren |
| Tbh, once I've watched enough, none of "greatest of all time" polls met my preferences. |
 |
ManWild said: Gintoki is quite easily the best for me and my favorite as well Ok, from what I've heard from Gintama, it's arguably one of the most loved anime out there. How many episodes are there in total, cause I may watch it during the summer. |

Armados said: You're asking that while listing the MCs of popular animes because...? In what way would anything justify a shounen MC to be considered the "best" protagonist? There is absolutely no correlation between popularity and quality of writing. absolutely right the list just consists of popular mc only 3-4 of them are well written rest are your usual shonen mc |
