Edward Elric is not from Hunter x Hunter.

Plus just pointing out that you rated Saber above Misato, Asuka amd C.C. in your Top 10 females, but still didn't include her in your Top 20 anime characters, even though you included Misato, Asuka and C.C. there, which actually clearly contradicts your Top 10 female rankings, so you might wanna check that out.

On a final note, just naming a few characters who surely would've made it to some of several of the Top 10 lists I made in various categories above, but I didn't include them is because I still haven't seen a full season of the shows they are from yet, so I'm reserving my judgement on them as of now:

Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba)

Nezuko Kamado (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba)

Thorfinn (Vinland Saga)

Askeladd (Vinland Saga)

Thors (Vinland Saga)

Well.....I guess this much is enough for now. :)
