The crowd's ranking

A: Edward Elric, Eren Yeager, Monkey D. Luffy, Naruto Uzumaki

B: Gon Freecss, Tanjiro Kamado, Yuji Itadori, Goku

C: Izuku Midoriya, Ichigo Kurosaki

D: Asta

F: Natsu Dragneel

GrumpyOtter: Natsu at the bottom is correct. He's every shonen trope and nothing else.

priya.a8718: Ichigo is so bland. Goku loves the fight, Naruto wants acceptance, Ichigo just kind of... protects people.

jen_a2958: Asta's voice for the first ten episodes nearly made me drop Black Clover

HumblePigeon: Edward Elric in S, the best written of the bunch

cursed_goblin: Goku in B? Worst anime dad of all time. Piccolo raised Gohan.
