Results of the 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity Poll are out, and Reze has secured first place with an insane 205,775 votes. The bomb devil hybrid absolutely blew away the competition, racking up more than twice as many votes as Makima in second place with 101,454. Reze had held the fourth and fifth positions in the polls once upon a time. But her coming in first place now shows a shift in how the fandom feels about her.And the timing of the 3rd Chainsaw Man popularity poll was perfect for Reze. The Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc was recently released. The poll took place from September 17 to October 21, 2025. With how great the movie was, it is understandable that the poll was in Reze's favor.Reze’s close-ups in the movie made the creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto, fall for her again. If even he thinks she’s that cute, it’s pretty obvious the animation team did a great job.Movie Magic Pushes Reze to VictoryReze from the movie (Image Credit: MAPPA)Total votes in this year’s 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity Poll standings were a grand total of 949,097, which marked the highest of all time. Yes, that is considerably more than the second poll’s total of 620,045 votes and nearly four times the first poll’s 231,201. Both new and veteran fans were clearly inspired to vote by the movie. The majority of the ranks here would undoubtedly be explained by the fact that the top seven characters were also highly featured in the Reze Arc film, according to one fan.Makima came in 2nd place in the 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity Poll. That makes it her third straight runner-up finish, which is certainly quite impressive but feels a little odd anyway. Makima might be the big bad villain and did some unsavory things in part 1, but she’s still squeezing out love from fans. Her position on the polls shows that the fact of being a villain has not deterred people from adoring a well-drawn character.The Top 10 Breakdown of the 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity PollPopularity Poll Banner (Image Credit: Shueisha)Aki Hayakawa came in third with 89,804 votes in the 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity Poll.

Hers was a big drop from when she won first place back in 2020.Angel Devil took sixth place in the 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity Poll with 49,899 votes.

That's impressive for a Part 2 character who hasn't been animated yet. She beat Yoru, her alter ego, who only got 10,463 votes and placed sixteenth.Some fans expressed disappointment that Asa didn't rank higher, but considering she's competing against beloved animated characters while only existing in manga form, tenth place is respectable.Results from the 3rd Chainsaw Man Popularity Poll also showed some quirky entries maintaining their presence. Kobeni's car dropped to nineteenth place with 8,551 votes, finally falling behind Kobeni herself, who placed thirteenth. The Death Devil appeared at eighteenth with 9,533 votes, proving Part 2 characters can hold their own despite lacking anime adaptations.ConclusionFujimoto expressed happiness about the results, noting that both Reze and Makima are characters he loves. The fandom clearly agrees with his taste, even if they shuffled the order around. With Part 2's eventual animation likely years away, the next poll could look completely different once Asa and the other manga-only characters get their time in the spotlight.
