The results of the character popularity poll for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy are out. Protagonist Takumi Sumino did not take first place as most popular person. Instead, that honor went to supporting The Hundred Line character Eito Aotsuki. Dengeki Online has put together a list of the top ten characters in the game, as voted by fans. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]
Here are The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy character popularity poll results, with Eito Aotsuki and Takumi Sumino as the two most popular ones:
- Eito Aotsuki
- Takumi Sumino
- Yugamu Omokage
- Tsubasa Kawana
- Nozomi Kirifuji
- Darumi Amemiya
- Hiruko Shizuhara
- Kyoshika Magadori
- Gaku Maruko
- Kako Tsukumo
Each character has comments from their voters explaining why they voted for him. While these comments occasionally mention specific routes that the characters play a major part in (such as saying how much they liked Yugamu in Killing Game Route—pretty much the only route that delves deeper into his character and shows a lot of interactions between him and Takumi), there aren’t any major spoilers. Even for Eito, people merely talked about how terrible yet awesome he is without revealing any major details about his story.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy came out in April 2025, and is a collaborative work between Kazutaka Kodaka (Danganronpa) and Kotaro Uchikoshi (Zero Escape). It’s a combination SRPG and visual novel with a hundred endings to collect, with more possibly on the way through DLC. It follows a group of students who live in the Tokyo Residential Complex, only to find themselves under attack by strange alien creatures. After Sirei, an odd mascot-like creature, helps them fight back, they’re transported to Last Defense Academy. There, they must defend the school from invaders for a hundred days so that they can protect the world from destruction.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is readily available on the Windows PC and Nintendo Switch.
