Best Guy 6

Best Guy 6: Salt Psycho 100! was an r/anime character tournament held in the AnimeBracket voting website and was hosted by moderator ShaKing807. Named after the show of previous Best Guy winner Shigeo Kageyama, the tournament ran from 2020 February to March 01 and ended with Levi Ackerman winning the final match over Saitama. This is also the first (and so far, only) Best Guy to have a third-place match after it was requested by some users; the match was won by perennial contender Edward Elric over a season 4-boosted All Might.

The final was considered an unexpected one by several users; Levi laid low behind more prominent characters Reigen, Kazuma, and Edward until the last two rounds, while Saitama had to beat the latter two guys in quick succession to get to the finals for the first time, which is no easy feat considering he had been "cursed" with the top seed two times in the past.

Mumen Rider from One Punch Man surprised the tournament by getting the first seed, but given his supporting character status, his place in the tournament didn't last very long as he was eliminated in round 4 by Jotaro Kujo. This earned him the dubious honour of being the worst-performing top seed in r/anime history.

This is Edward's last appearance in a Best Guy tournament, as he finally became an r/anime champion after winning Best Character 5 nearly ten months later, making him permanently ineligible for future editions.
