by March 23rd was “World Meteorological Day.” This commemorative day originated from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) launch in 1950.
There are many climate-related problems, such as abnormal weather and global warming, but in anime and games, many characters can freely control the weather. Depending on the work, they are depicted in various ways, such as attacking with rain and lightning, hiding from enemies by generating fog, or creating snow to create a romantic atmosphere. So Anime! Anime! Conducted a reader survey titled “Who is the character who can control the weather?” During the survey period from March 6th to March 11th, we received responses from 512 people.
The gender ratio was about 40 percent male and about 60 percent female, with a slight female predominance. In terms of age group, about 40 percent were under 19 years old, about 15 percent were in their 20s, and about 20 percent were in their 30s.
Rain or shine, at your leisure! Nami took first place from One Piece. Her approval rating was about 26 percent. Nami is the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates. Readers commented, “As a navigator, she is an expert at predicting the weather. It’s cool to see her fight by making rain and lightning using her Clima-Tact, a weapon made by Usopp, and her knowledge! She’s truly a woman who can control the weather,” and “She can create clouds with the Clima-Tact and control humidity and temperature. Her line in the fight against Kalifa, “The weather in this room is mine!” is perfect for Nami.” Her performance in battle scenes is stylish. Enel also came in at 7th place.
“He is the ruler of Skypiea, the sky island, and he fights with the overwhelming power of the Goro-Goro no Mi,” and he is a lightning user. Starting on April 6th, the broadcast time slot will be moved to 11:30 p.m. on Sundays, and the “Egghead Arc” will begin, so she was ranked from the popular series. 2nd place is Weather Report from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. Her approval rating is about 19%. Weather Report is a Stand user that Jolyne Kujo, the protagonist of Part 6, meets in prison.
“Because she has lost her memories, she uses the Weather Report (weather forecast) as her Stand name. Her versatility is frightening, as she can not only bring rain and thunder, but even poisonous frogs,” and “There are many characters who can control the weather, but JoJo is not as simple as you would expect. I was amazed by her applications and her fantastic ideas.” Her unique Stand abilities have been highly praised. 3rd place is Amano Hina from Weathering with You. Her approval rating is about 6%. Amano Hina is a girl who can freely control the weather. Readers commented, “She’s a 100% sunny girl who can temporarily make any weather sunny! Her mysterious aura as she prays to the sky, her hands clasped together, and her lines like, ‘It’s going to be sunny from now on!’ “I can still hear her bouncy voice saying, ‘Is there a better job than bringing sunny days to everyone?'” “I admired the blue teardrop choker that Hina wore,” and many others voted for her charm as a heroine and memorable scenes.
Here are some other comments! For Pop from “Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai,” He played a significant role in the fight against Hyunckel, learning the spell Lanarion that summons rainclouds. Pop is very clever, coming up with the idea to allow Dai to use the lightning spell Ridein.” For Oz from “The Wizard’s Promise,” “He is the world’s most potent wizard, boasting magical powers that allow his emotions to affect the weather. But when Arthur, whom he raised like his son, returned to his home country, he became depressed and caused a snowstorm.
I like that human side of him.” For Zeus from “Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle,” The omnipotent and all-knowing god familiar from Greek mythology! He always made the Demon Castle turn into morning at night, but even the princess overused that power, like an air conditioner or a microwave. I’d like to see him in action in the anime too!” Nike Lemercier from “The World Is So Beautiful” also received votes for the protagonist, who is “the princess of the Rainy Principality who can make it rain with her beautiful singing voice. It’s a fantasy story in which her fate changes dramatically when she marries Livius I, the Sun King of the Sunny Principality, and the weather is an important element of the story.” In this survey, characters from works with battle elements stood out. Characters who can control rain, wind, lightning, and other components and contribute significantly to battle are gaining support.
