Not surprised by the victor. Kotetsu has a double appeal - both to the 30+ year old men who see themselves in him and to the all-age fujoshi crowd who see Barnaby in him.
(If you know what I mean.)

If you're doing yaoi pairings, wouldn't be make more sense for Kotetsu to be "in" Barnaby, instead?
Barnaby is the pushy one, Kotetsu would be the reluctant uke not willing to try the new thing that the Seme wants to try out, and then there's the powers on the fritz thing, making Barnaby the stronger of the two. :P
It goes both ways.......
Here comes the fujoshis.
I'm pretty sure 99% of Kotetsu is from the mighty fangirl brigade. SO PROUD. XD
8. Sakata Gintoki
The world still has hope, even in 2012
Seeing Gintoki only in 8th place makes me cringe a bit, though. He should be way higher.
The one and only.
wish they would make highschool spin-off of Gintama
fuck yeah
well...at least we have Okabe e Kiritsugu in this list..but I think that Okabe deserve the first position >D
PS: wow...surprise, urushibara ruka in this list?
Who is this Okabe person you speak of? I only know HOUOUIN KYOUMA, Mad Scientist!
BWAHAHAHA!
El psy congroo!!!
Everybody loves Kotetsu.
Indeed, he has done a service to bearded characters everywhere.
Kotetsu and Sky High earned it.
I LOLed because...
1. Only for 1 minute.
2. As long as he isn't chasing after Kotetsu... So yeah.
3. Approved.
4. Very shonen hero.
5. WTF? He is a fabulous idol, not hero, he can't even save himself from a fall D:.
6. Only in the background.
7. Woot? He is the anti-hero. The (tragic) hero is Kariya.
8. Yeah.
9. Carnival Phantasm proves if you are Lancer be it the 4th or 5th grail war your fate is to get a painful death with no honor.
10. Who is that?
Wait, So Bunny > HOUOUIN KYOUMA!!!??? LolFujoshi, yeah right.
As a straight man, Kaburagi Kotetsu and Sakata Gintoki deserve to share number 1 on this list. After that, who cares about anyone else on it?
LOL Lancer.
his cursed charm doesn't seems to work LoL
Ruka higher than Daru?
Seriously, I know it's a delicious trap and all...
But Daru is a true hero
Lacks my husbando Kariya Matou.
This is refreshing to see a list not dominated by teenage boys.
Bullshit. I call shenanigans on this entire list.
Makes a change to see a ranking posted on Sankaku that has characters I actually like on it. Tiger & Bunny and Fate/Zero have been two of my favourites this year. Steins;Gate was good too, with Okabe being the best character in it.
And Gintoki of course. Gin-chan should really should his own ranking separate from all the rest though. ;p
Origami Cyclone? That guy is near useless.
HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OF THESE~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHERE'S YUGI MUTO!?!
Kiritsugu AND Lancer on this list... Well something just isn't right here. Clearly the people who voted on this list know of Fate/Zero's existence and yet somehow the most badass hero of all was excluded! How can that even be!?
ISKANDER ANYONE!?!?
Maybe cause the language adopted for his name makes no sense.
I have a hard time seeing Kiritsugu as a hero... He lacks balls.
AND WHY THERE BE NO ISKANDER?!
You blow up an airplane carrying your surrogate mother annex mentor and a whole flock of vampires, then come back here to talk about lack of balls.
Especially when you're in direct communication with said mentor/mother figure by way of radio.
Sacrificing the one for the greater good..
Define "lack balls"
The list just isn't complete without the King of Conquerors...
Iskandar, named "Rider/ライダー (Fate/Zero)" in the list, is ranked 30th...
The inclusion of Iskander on the list would have turned the other entries into girly boys eager to be taken by him...
wait why shinku izumi is not on the list?
>no Kurisu
WHY
It's a "hero" list (else Homura would have made it). Christina is a heroine.
Why is Urushibara Luka on this list? O_O
I liked Steins;Gate, but why is she on the list??
Ruka is a boy... for most of the series at least...
She?
He was a she for an ep or 2.
I think it was more than 2 episodes. More like 5 or 6.
I actually dont mind seeing Kotetsu up top, though lunatic really needs a place
He's to be later removed from the list after a minute has passed tho.
Lunatic is anti-hero type
That's why he doesn't take a place
I'd like a Top 10 Anti-Heroes list (;
