Plurality Poll Redux!

If you've been here since 2024 when I first made this, then hello!! I'm redoing it because it has been two years since I posted anything.

Characters who are systems, whether canonical or headcanon, are welcome here! Mun asks for no syscourse on this blog whatsoever.

**NOTE: The series and characters present here do not reflect the mod's political and or social beliefs. The focus was on the character as a whole, and not the potential issues with series or character backstories. Viewer discretion is advised when reading the propaganda for the characters.

**NOTE 2: This poll is for fun. FOR FUN. This is not a space for you to debate over whether or not a character is "really" plural.

Below the cut is the official bracket!

THE WINNER IS DON QUIXOTE/SANCHO!!!!

[pluralitypoll]

FINALS: Don Quixote/Sancho (Limbus Company) VS Mutsumi Wakaba/Mortis (Bang Dream / Ave Mujica: The Die Is Cast)

Don Quixote/Sancho

Mutsumi/Mortis

Voting ended onMay 12

Propaganda under the cut:

**Spoilers for Limbus Company under the cut.**

Don Quixote/Sancho:

Sancho is a Bloodfiend, essentially a vampire, and her father figure was the original Don Quixote. In the past, she erased her memories, suppressing them by drinking from the River Lethe. Nowadays, she herself is known as Don Quixote, as that is the name written on her shoes, who were given to her by her father. When she takes off her shoes, however, she becomes Sancho, reverting back to her "original" personality and having all of her memories. After Canto VII: The Dream Ending, however, while she continues to be Don Quixote, accepting both parts of herself, Sancho is constantly thirsty for blood when the shoes are removed, as she has to feed the kindred below her due to the death of her father.

Mutsumi/Mortis:

This is canon. In the anime Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast, we see Mortis switch out with Mutsumi, and the two have Completely different personalities, refer to their friends differently, and Mortis notably cannot play the guitar unlike Mutsumi who can. The wiki page for Mutsumi even notes that there were once several other alters, but the rest of them had either gone dormant or fused with Mortis.

Moon Knight:

A canonical case. I don't feel qualified to explain it so here is his wiki.

Mutsumi/Mortis

Arthur/John

Voting ended onMay 11

Propaganda under the cut:

**Note: Arthur being plural is strictly headcanon!!**

Mutsumi/Mortis:

This is canon. In the anime Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast, we see Mortis switch out with Mutsumi, and the two have Completely different personalities, refer to their friends differently, and Mortis notably cannot play the guitar unlike Mutsumi who can. The wiki page for Mutsumi even notes that there were once several other alters, but the rest of them had either gone dormant or fused with Mortis.

Arthur/John:

After opening a book, he passed out, and when he woke up, John was in his head, talking to him and taking over his eyesight and one of his arms. From my understanding, John is an old god of sorts. (I have not listened to a lot of the podcast, this is the best I can do)

Round Four, Second Half: Vinegar Doppio/Diavolo (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) VS Moon Knight (Marvel)

Doppio/Diavolo

Moon Knight

Voting ended onMay 9

Propaganda under the cut:

Doppio/Diavolo:

This is directly from the wiki, as I have only seen bits and pieces of Golden Wind:

Doppio is The Boss' younger, more innocent and eccentric underboss. As a member of Passione, he thinks of himself as the most loyal subordinate to Diavolo, but in reality, the two are separate souls inhabiting the same body. During the course of Golden Wind, he helps Diavolo to act and move around undetected. It is ambiguous whether Doppio is truly a natural Stand User, but he is able to partially wield King Crimson in battle with Diavolo's permission.

Moon Knight:

A canonical case. I don't feel qualified to explain it so here is his wiki.

Round Four, Second Half: Ryoshu (Limbus Company) VS Don Quixote/Sancho (Limbus Company)

Ryoshu

Don Quixote

Voting ended onMay 9

Propaganda under the cut:

**Limbus Company spoilers under the cut for both candidates.**

Ryoshu:

Ryoshu was created by the House of Spiders for the sake of wielding Arayashiki, a Relic in the form of a sword that erases whatever it cleaves through as though it had never existed. However, wielding this power takes a toll; Ryoshu's own memories are shredded whenever she unsheathes the blade. She is canonically shown to dissociate and struggle to recall her fragmented memories, and due to the abuse she suffered at the hands of the Nursefathers, the figures in her life who were supposed to be her parents, she very likely has the trauma.

Don Quixote/Sancho:

Sancho is a Bloodfiend, essentially a vampire, and her father figure was the original Don Quixote. In the past, she erased her memories, suppressing them by drinking from the River Lethe. Nowadays, she herself is known as Don Quixote, as that is the name written on her shoes, who were given to her by her father. When she takes off her shoes, however, she becomes Sancho, reverting back to her "original" personality and having all of her memories. After Canto VII: The Dream Ending, however, while she continues to be Don Quixote, accepting both parts of herself, Sancho is constantly thirsty for blood when the shoes are removed, as she has to feed the kindred below her due to the death of her father.

Mafuyu

Arthur/John

Voting ended onMay 9

Propaganda under the cut:

**Note: Arthur being plural is strictly headcanon!!**

Mafuyu Asahina:

Mafuyu being a system, whether intentional or not, has been essentially canonized as of her most recent Bloomfes card story. It is also a popular headcanon in the fandom, and has been for YEARS. The notable "selves" of Mafuyu noted are Mafuyu herself, Yuki, and OWN. She is also shown dissociating and having memory troubles throughout the story.

Arthur/John:

After opening a book, he passed out, and when he woke up, John was in his head, talking to him and taking over his eyesight and one of his arms. From my understanding, John is an old god of sorts. (I have not listened to a lot of the podcast, this is the best I can do)

In the anime Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast, we see Mortis switch out with Mutsumi, and the two have Completely different personalities, refer to their friends differently, and Mortis notably cannot play the guitar unlike Mutsumi who can. The wiki page for Mutsumi even notes that there were once several other alters, but the rest of them had either gone dormant or fused with Mortis.

Ghost Quartz/Cairngorm:

Ghost Quartz is canonically a layered gem, with Cairngorm underneath it. The two have completely different personalities, with Ghost describing their "other self" as mean and more confident.

Round Three, Left Side: Loid Forger/Twilight (Spy x Family) VS Arthur Lester/John Doe (Malevolent)

Loid/Twilight

Arthur/John

Voting ended onMay 7

Propaganda under the cut:

**NOTE: Both of these are purely headcanons. Neither of them have been explicitly confirmed as canonical systems.**

Loid:

The amount of faces and identities and masks Loid wears. He's a spy and is always changing identities and faces, eventually forgetting who he once was originally. We don't know his "real" name even now.

Arthur/John:

After opening a book, he passed out, and when he woke up, John was in his head, talking to him and taking over his eyesight and one of his arms. From my understanding, John is an old god of sorts. (I have not listened to a lot of the podcast, this is the best I can do)

[i-will-pick-later]

ARTHUR AND JOHNNNNNNN!!! More propaganda (and spoilers? Kinda?) for them under the cut

They’re just like. Really cool. Trust me bro

They go through countless horrors together and have a divorce every other episode, but in the end they grow and learn from their mistakes. Together they learn what humanity really means, and they make each other better people. When push came to shove, they picked one another out a hundred times over. They always picked one another. And in Threshold especially we can see that finally paying off. Sure they still get snippy with one another sometimes, but they care so deeply about each other. They literally adore each other so much, and whether or not you interpret it as platonic or romantic, it’s gorgeous.

TL;DR, vote for John/Arthur because they love each other so much and they deserve it. And if you don’t, I’ll find you (/silly)

Round Three, Second Half: Moon Knight (Marvel) VS Shu Itsuki/Mademoiselle (Ensemble Stars)

Moon Knight

Shu/Mademoiselle

Voting ended onMay 7

Propaganda under the cut:

Moon Knight:

A canonical case. I don't feel qualified to explain it so here is his wiki.

Shu:

In Chapter 4 of Nameless Doll, in the Victoria story, Natsume says the following:

"In any case, I've been informed that Shu-nii-san left Mademoiselle in another's care so as to avoid damaging her. But as an expert in psychology, I must say that this was a stupid decision. When Shu-nii-san has Mademoiselle in his arms, he is able to divide his mind and entrust part of it to her, which helps maintain mental stability. It's the same way that dissociative identity disorder, or more colloquially multiple personality disorder, works. But because they were separated, he became a ship without a rudder, close to capsizing as he wandered about the seas of his mind. I couldn't let that happen, so I'm currently acting as a stand-in for Mademoiselle. I assumed that letting him hold me this way... well, it might make Shu-nii-san feel more at ease."

**Translation from southerngothics.neocities.org.**

It is also noted that the trauma from Valkyrie's downfall caused Mademoiselle to split.

Doppio/Diavolo

Alice/Intention

Voting ended onMay 7

Propaganda under the cut:

**NOTE: Major spoilers for Pandora Hearts below the cut.**

Doppio/Diavolo:

This is directly from the wiki, as I have only seen bits and pieces of Golden Wind:

Doppio is The Boss' younger, more innocent and eccentric underboss. As a member of Passione, he thinks of himself as the most loyal subordinate to Diavolo, but in reality, the two are separate souls inhabiting the same body. During the course of Golden Wind, he helps Diavolo to act and move around undetected. It is ambiguous whether Doppio is truly a natural Stand User, but he is able to partially wield King Crimson in battle with Diavolo's permission.

Alice/Intention:

Alice and Intention of the Abyss, sometimes called Will of the Abyss or just "Alyss" by the fandom, are the twin daughters of Lacie Baskerville, and the result of an experiment that the previous Glen Baskerville, Levi, conducted. While the two are described as twins, they are also described as each other's "other self", and there is only one physical body that they share between them. Jack Vessalius notes that when he visited Alice, she had a different personality each time he came by. While Alice was harsh and rude to him, Intention was kind and sweet.

Es:

@esdidiscanon made an extensive meta about this that would explain it much better than I ever could.

Round Three, Second Half: Homura Akemi (Madoka Magica) VS Ryoshu (Limbus Company)

Homura

Ryoshu

Voting ended onMay 7

Propaganda under the cut:

Homura:

A personal headcanon due to everything that Homura goes through in the series. You could spin Homura's personality changes throughout her timeloops as separate alters when you really look at it.

In the final volume of the Wraith Arc manga, Homura meets another version of her, the part of her that holds her magic and her love for Madoka. The fandom has given the name "Ai" to this Homura.

Ryoshu:

**Spoilers for Limbus Company Ahead**

Ryoshu was created by the House of Spiders for the sake of wielding Arayashiki, a Relic in the form of a sword that erases whatever it cleaves through as though it had never existed. However, wielding this power takes a toll; Ryoshu's own memories are shredded whenever she unsheathes the blade. She is canonically shown to dissociate and struggle to recall her fragmented memories, and due to the abuse she suffered at the hands of the Nursefathers, the figures in her life who were supposed to be her parents, she very likely has the trauma.
