Mereoleona Vermillion Rankings And Opinions

Alright, anime fans and magic‑knight aficionados, buckle up: we’re diving into the blazing inferno that is Mereoleona Vermillion (yes, of Black Clover fame) where she stands in popularity, how the fandom thinks of her, and whether that “Uncrowned Undefeated Lioness” crown is fully earned (or just blindingly shiny). We’ll break down her rankings, explore opinions (good, bad, and hilarious), and end with a little personal experience from this writer’s own fandom safari.

Introduction: Who is Mereoleona, and why are we ranking her?

If you’ve only skimmed the surface of Black Clover, you may recognise Mereoleona as the scarlet‑haired, fiery‑magic‑wielding powerhouse from the Vermillion household elder sister of Fuegoleon Vermillion, captain of the Crimson Lion squad, mentor to the main cast, and generally someone who punches first, asks questions later. According to fandom sources, her personality is aggressive, candid, and full‑throttle.

But since no character is complete without the numbers behind them, we’re going to dig into the “rankings” piece (popularity polls, fan lists, power‑scale forums) and then dish up opinions (what fans love, what they dislike, and where she falls as “character” rather than just “power”). Keywords to keep in mind: character ranking, popularity poll, power level, Mereoleona Vermillion review, fan opinion.

H2 – Popularity rankings: where Mereoleona sits in the polls

Good news: Mereoleona doesn’t languish in obscurity. She shows up in multiple popularity polls for Black Clover, which is a feat when you consider the size of that roster. For example:

• In the third official popularity poll (Japan & international readers) she ranked **#5** with 1,231 votes.
• In the fourth poll she slid to **#16** with 311 votes.
• In the fifth poll (online & international), she ranked **#12** with 30,270 votes.

What does that tell us? Mereoleona is consistently within the top 20 of characters; she has real fan traction. She isn’t #1 (that tends to go to more central characters), but she definitely holds her ground.

Another point: despite being a “side/supporting” type character (not the main protagonist or main villain), she gets strong recognition which is somewhat rarer. That means: high on the “cool factor” scale.

H3 – Interpreting the numbers

Let’s decode what those rankings mean in practical terms:

• A top 5 (in poll #3) placement means she resonated strongly with the audience at a certain stage of the series likely after some major battle arc where she shined. That suggests “peak hype moment.”
• The drop to #16 in the next poll indicates that maybe other characters had new arcs, or her screen time decreased, or fandom attention shifted. Polls are waves.
• Ranking #12 with 30K+ votes in an online poll means she still commands a loyal base of support internationally (not just Japan). This global aspect matters for popularity skew.

So: if I were forced to assign a “popularity tier,” I’d say Mereoleona sits in the *upper‑mid tier* of characters: not the absolute top tier (“main event” status) but definitely among the memorable, fan‑favourite cast who get solid love and presence.

H2 – Power & character rankings: where she stands in strength and perception

Popularity isn’t everything the other major axis is “how strong / how well‑written is she?” Rumours among fans and scaling forums often place Mereoleona at very high levels of power. For example:

• The VSbattles fandom wiki lists her as having “Reactive Power Level” increasing during fights, mastery over mana/heat/fire, able to become “mana itself”.
• ComicBook.com notes that her creator‑tribute recognition puts her among the best characters in the series, citing her introduction as heralding “a whole new phase” of Black Clover.
• Fan threads on Reddit highlight how she is seen as a model “strong female character” in shonen despite critiques.

H3 – Strength vs. Depth: balancing the view

Ranking her purely in “power” terms is easier than ranking her in “character writing” terms. On the power side she’s top tier. Her back‑story, training in wilderness, raw fire magic + hand‑to‑hand, and the fact even other strong characters fear her: that’s narrative weight.

In terms of character depth: there’s room for debate. Some fans argue she’s more “badass power fantasy” than “complex character arc”. For example, from Reddit:

> “She is just strong. She doesn’t go through a major growth arc.”

That doesn’t make her bad some characters are meant to *be* a force of nature but it does affect how critics and fans rank her *as a character* (vs. as a power icon).

H2 – Fan opinions: love, critique and fandom culture

Let’s break down how fans talk about her.

H3 – What fans love

• Raw cool factor: The ferocity, the lion imagery, the fire blasting it hits visceral. Many fans say she’s one of the most memorable secondary characters.
• Leadership & respect: She doesn’t rely on lineage alone; she trains hard, pushes others, shows respect to those willing to fight. That helps her stand out.
• Female character done right (in some eyes): One Redditor wrote:
  

  > “Mereoleona is the perfect example of a properly done female character… She is just a way better version of Mirko (MHA).”

  The sentiment: she’s strong without having her “femaleness” be the only focus.

H3 – What fans critique

• Limited growth arc: Some feel that because she already arrives “on stage strong,” there’s less evolution emotionally or relationally. “She was strong from the start” is both compliment and critique.
• Screen time & role depth: Since she’s not the protagonist, her story sometimes supports others rather than stands independently a fate many side‐characters face.
• Trope risk: The “super strong mentor” is a trope. Some argue she skirts being a flat “power” figure rather than a fleshed‑out person.

H3 – Overall fandom sentiment

The net sentiment: positive. Mereoleona consistently appears in best‑character discussions, fan favourite lists, cosplay mentions and power‑fight threads. While she’s not universally heralded as “the greatest character ever,” she holds a solid legacy within Black Clover fandom. Her rankings reflect that strong, not obsession‑level, but respected.

H2 – My verdict: ranking her in three categories

Okay, I like to make things concrete, so here’s how I would place Mereoleona across three axes (on a scale of 1–10):

• Popularity among fans: **8/10** Top diversions, frequent poll presence, strong support.
• Power / combat profile: **9/10** She’s among the elite in‑series, fear‑instilling, standout fights.
• Character depth / narrative arc: **7/10** Solid and entertaining, but slightly less “transformative” than main leads.

So: if I had to give an overall “ranking” rating (average of the three): **~8/10**. That means she’s very good, possibly underrated in some circles, and definitely one of the stronger supporting characters in modern shōnen anime/manga.

For a fun analogy: if Black Clover characters were sports teams, Mereoleona would be the consistent playoff contender not always the league champion, but always scary to face and always worth the ticket.

H2 – Why her ranking matters in fandom and story

Why even care about this ranking business? Two reasons:

1. Fandom momentum: Popular characters get more merch, more screen time, more panel focus which in turn affects how the story plays and how the fandom perceives the series. Mereoleona’s high ranking means she influences that momentum.
2. Thematic impact: Characters like Mereoleona show that strength, leadership and respect aren’t just for the protagonist. Her presence affirms that the world of Black Clover values more than just “zero to hero” arcs; it values mastery, responsibility and attitude. Her rank amplifies that message.

In short: her ranking and opinions reflect her symbolic value in the series she’s not just a blast‑furnace of fire magic, she’s a charter for what it means to lead, to fight, and to earn respect without relying only on legacy.

H2 – Conclusion: Wrapping up and final opinions

In the wild world of shōnen anime, where characters can quickly fade into “just one more power‑up”, Mereoleona Vermillion stands out. Her rankings tell a story: a character loved by many, feared by the in‑universe baddies, admired for her strength and respected for her leadership, but slightly under‑celebrated in the uppermost tier of narrative complexity. She’s *very good*, not quite *perfect*, and that’s honestly the sweet spot.

If you’re a fan of Black Clover, or just character design and ranking debates, here’s the takeaway: she deserves a nod in any “top characters” list, especially in the supporting cast category. If I were making a “Top 10 Secondary Shōnen Characters You Might Be Overlooking” list, she’d be in there, roaring like a lion.

Want to argue about her vs. the main protagonists? Want to debate whether her #8 ranking in the sixth poll (5892 votes) was too low? The fandom is out there, and those threads get fiery (pun absolutely intended).
