MEIMI PROPAGANDA: Confessions is JUST a movie about how Mimi and Meiko are made for each other. Mimi brings Meiko out of her shell and Meiko gives Mimi the confidence to pursue what she loves. Mimi literally kisses her on the cheek later idk what you want
MIMIYAKO PROPAGANDA: The Utena daydream scene......Ladies. Please. In like 70% of 02 promo material Miyako is looking at Mimi with huge heart eyes, not even counting how much Miyako fawns over her in canon. That's a grade-A canon crush right there.
As pointed out in the main post, every single Chosen Child will get their individual analysis post to check on the status of the current popularity of their ships. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at Miyako, shall we!
The overall results / spreadsheet
Disclaimer: As the “Someone from 01/02″ and “Others” options from poll 1 and the “Someone from 01/02″ option from poll 2 have been excluded from the final analysis due to redundancy reasons and all results were culminated in another “final count”, the results will not be 1:1 to what the polls look like:
Overall votes: 116 (approx. 93 in sum after the exclusion), the main poll got 84 votes, the secondary poll got 32 votes.
The “Others” choice in the main poll received 2% (approx. 2 votes) and 0% (0 votes) in the secondary poll. The comments/tags did mention one preferences (aside from characters that were already part of the main choices), which will be discussed in the analysis.
Ship Analysis
1st place: With a lead of only 4 votes to 2nd place overall, Hikari (31%) has won this round. With her being Miyako’s Jogress partner in Adventure 02 and the ship having gained more popularity in recent times (also thanks to the announcement of the 02 movie), she’s seen as a viable choice; being a calming, more soft-spoken contrast in personality to Miyako, she has enabled and inspired her to become more confident in her own choices as well, making them a complementing, mutually encouraging pair.
2nd place: With 25 votes, Ken (27%) comes in second, thus securing Kenyako’s spot as one of the few canonized endgame couples in the Adventure series. Thus, that popularity makes sense - with her starting off with a starstruck crush on Ken, then doubting her approach towards him during his redemption arc and reconsidering the whereabouts of her feelings, them slowly growing closer to understand each other is an endearing framing.
3rd place: The race for third place was rather tight and has actually seen Daisuke in the lead for quite some time; however, in one of the few cases in which the second poll mattered, Mimi (17%) managed to win with a 1-vote advantage. With Miyako admiring and idealizing Mimi the way she does, including heart-eyes and star-struck daydreaming, this should come to no surprise, as they’re also both very energetic and passionate about the things and people they care about.
Honorary mentions: Daisuke (15%) clearly makes a stand with almost having reached third place, with him being one of the characters she’s most physical (and teasing) with. Another notable options that gained more than 1 vote were Iori (5%) and Michael (2%).
“The 1 vote squad”: As the majority of votes has been distributed among the choices mentioned above, there isn’t much left to be mentioned - so this spot is reserved for Sora, Koushiro and Wallace (1% each)
“0 votes go to…”: Takeru, Taichi, Yamato and Jou each received 0 votes - as for the four three characters, this may be due to their lack of screentime/interaction in canon.
Annotations: N/A
What did the other polls say?
Miyako hasn’t won any other poll, but came in second in Hikari’s (16%), Ken’s (19%) and Iori’s (19%), thus mirroring her own results to at least some degree.
She also tied for third place in Daisuke’s poll (8%, together with Hikari and Wallace). In Mimi’s poll, she also scored comparably remarkable 9%.
For the majority of the other characters, she proved to be quite a niche choice, such as Koushiro (3%), Taichi (1%), Jou (1%) and Takeru (1%).
Only in Yamato’s and Sora’s polls, she did not get voted for, making Yamako the only combination that mutually received 0 votes.
Notable additions / comments / thoughts
Miyako’s polls have not provided outstanding surprises in terms of who received the most votes - with her official Jogress partner and her canonical husband turning out to be the most viable choices to the participants of the voting. As she is one of the most vocal characters when it comes to whom she cares about, these choices are understandable, as highlighted above - and even the fight for third place between Daisuke and Mimi makes perfect sense, considering how they’re both characters she has very visible interactions with in terms of physical and emotional closeness and/or attachment. Due to her intensity with these characters in particular, there might not be a lot left for other choices to be considered as viable - with characters like Iori and Michael (and maybe even Koushiro) still being the biggest exceptions here, as they either are displayed to have a bond (due to past or present interaction and shared interests) or, in Michael’s case, because she was kind of implied to be crushing on him shortly.
Overall, Miyako’s polls have received fewer votes in comparison to the others; so despite the results being relatively easy to read, the low sample size still matters here. (Especially considering how my blog may attract more fans of same sex couples.) Thus, I really hope to reach a wider audience if I choose to repeat the polls once the fandom is not as quiet as it is right now.
The comments in the tags have either referred to the already mentioned choices (Hikari). One comment referred to having a preference for a crossover ship with the character “Misawa Daichi” from Yu-Gi--Oh GX, making this one of the few instances in which crossover ships were mentioned in the first place. Usually, the option is reserved for OC ships, for when people prefer to not ship a character at all or when they’re considered asexual (which will definitely be a future option to include as well!).

MIMIYAKO PROPAGANDA: The Utena daydream scene......Ladies. Please. In like 70% of 02 promo material Miyako is looking at Mimi with huge heart eyes, not even counting how much Miyako fawns over her in canon. That's a grade-A canon crush right there.
RANAFAIRI PROPAGANDA: Basically canon exes. Ranamon's big beef with Fairimon is literally that she thinks Fairimon is super pretty. The sort of petty, internalized-misogyny rivalry that can only come from repressed lesbianism
