Since Fate/Zero, Type-Moon’s Fate franchise has slowly been becoming more and more popular with women. That popularity has also been translated to Fate/Grand Order, Type-Moon’s massively popular smartphone game.

Japanese anime news website, animeanime.jp, recently asked 6,013 Fate fans to vote for which Fate/Grand Order character is most popular among women. Surprisingly, 80% of those who voted are male, and only 20% are female. However, they did vote for characters who are known to be really popular among women. Of the 164 servants included in the poll, the website only revealed the Top 10, and they are:

10 – Cú Chulainn (Berserker)

9 – Robin Hood (Archer)

8 – Ozymandias (Rider)

7 – Cú Chulainn (Lancer)

6 – Edmond Dantes (Avenger)

5 – Emiya (Archer)

4 – Gilgamesh (Caster)

3 – Mash Kyrielight (Shielder)

2 – Merlin (Caster)

1 – Gilgamesh (Archer)

Well, good’ol Gil has been popular with women since the 2006 Studio DEEN anime, so it’s no surprising that The King of Heroes gets the #1 spot. However, close behind at #2 is Merlin. The quintessential wizard has been gaining a ton of popularity with women as of late, prompting many to question if the results would have been different if more women actually voted. After all, Mash Kyrielight took third place.

So, who’s your favorite FGO servant?
