Similarly, Toji Fushiguro fans were quite happy to see this character on this list, despite him being the main antagonist in Gojo's Past arc.
Toji achieved something remarkable by outplaying the renowned Gojo Satoru, leaving him completely taken aback - a feat accomplished by only a select few. This, combined with the exceptional character design and voice acting, contributed significantly to the immense popularity of this character.

That being said, a section of the Jujutsu Kaisen fanbase was surprised to see Nanami not being ranked among the Top 10 on the list.
Anime Corner has released the complete results on their website, consisting of 55 entries, and unfortunately, Kento Nanami did not make the list. This news left a portion of the fanbase feeling disappointed. Despite receiving positive feedback for his screen time in the Shibuya Incident arc, Nanami's lack of significance in the overall narrative may have been the reason for his omission from the list.
