Canon Sues!

Fictional character (mostly manga so far) are being subjected to The Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test and tallied up at

telophase's LJ here.  

I took it for 11 Samurai Deeper Kyo characters.  Only Yuya, Mahiro and Okuni escape "kill it dead" territory.  Actually, of all characters tested so far, Kyo is the Sue-est of them all at 138, and Okuni the least-Sue of all at 8.

Go take it for your favorite/least favorite characters!

 

ETA:  Someone tested Miaka 4 times ranging from very strict to very lenient, and came out with a median score of 179.  I say this without comment and only because a few might find it interesting.

I'm trying to take it for Aeris now. It's a little harder working with non-written characters, I think, and also if you're not the creator of the character. For example, there's a question about whether or not the character has a piercing gaze. I might say yes because that's the impression I got, but should that really count?

Yeah. With manga characters, it's easier because the artists tend to emphasize things with more detail, like staring.
