Like last year, you get to vote for two of the nominees. And those nominees are:
:: Edward Elric - FullMetal Alchemist
Edward Elric always saw that he myself had to carry the burden of returning his younger brother Alphonse to his body. So after the events of Lior, Edward made it his top objective of defeating the Homonculi and their leader, Dante. Trying to keep Alphonse out of harm's way, Edward went up against Greed, Sloth, Wrath, and finally Envy who, after showing him a shattering family secret, took his life. After Alphonse used the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect him, Edward in turn traded his body, soul, mind, and the memories of time during their four year journey to bring Alphonse back. After the transmutation, Edward arrived at the other side of the gate, looking to get back to his world.
:: Jin - Samurai Champloo
Jin has always lived for himself and has always lived in the way of the samurai. With neverending training, Jin's master wanted to pass the dojo to him and make him the new master. But with the wrath of a man known as "the Hands of God" after them, Jin was forced his hand and his sword to kill his own master in what looked like an act of betrayal and has been sought after by many former students because of it. Meeting by a chance, Jin journeys with Mugen and Fuu to find the "samurai who smells of sunflowers" and along the way, comes to the conclusion that he can use his swords for more than just myself.
:: Mugen - Samurai Champloo
Growing up on forsaken ground, all his life Mugen has been surrounded and has been involved with crime, mayhem, and ultraviolence. Mugen never had the notion that he would live long and with many people always after his life, he lived like he was about to die tomorrow. Living for the ultimate challenge in a fight, Mugen meets Jin in a teahouse and after meeting Fuu as well, they agree to hold off their duel until they have found the "samurai that smells of sunflowers". Coming from near death and saving Fuu, Mugen sees that Jin is not his enemy but rather, his opposite and friend.
:: Roger Smith - The Big O
In the show known as Paradigm City, Roger Smith plays the role of both negotiator and that of the dominus of megadeus of the Big O. He may seem to not anything about myself or his past but unlike most of the citizens in Paradigm City, Roger doesn't seem to care about his own past but that of Paradigm City. Playing the role of negotiator goes a long way, more than even Roger realizes as his main task is to save the realm of Paradigm, not by defeating the tyrannical Alex Rosewater and Big Fau, but by coming to terms by negotiating with the Director of their world.
Peace.
