Those are the japanese rankings. I was looking at some of the American contest, and I was very please to see that Judas made 20th, and Leon made 12th. Not only did Leon place TWICE, but he made it into the American top 30 (Destiny isn't even in english yet =D). In fact.... Leon/Judas has placed twice in all the contests but the very first~*

Given there are over about 100 characters that could have made a place in this contest, I was VERY pleased~*
