I think the people who voted Snowkit were mad about the ableism behind his role in the story rather than hating Snowkit himself. Like a vote for him was a vote for "why did you put a deaf character in the book just to kill him?" That or they're trolling
Anyone who voted for a character that few people hate, explain your reasoning! I'll go first! I hate Hailstar because he's treated like a wise and good leader but in reality he's pathetic. He fails to fight back for Sunning Rocks or Willowbreeze and Graypool untill much later but mostly I hate how he treated Crookedkit. He acts all sorry for changing his name when in reality he could've just said no to Rainflower. The leader's word is law, afterall. At least Rainflower's interesting.
The only things that came to mind is the Daisy/Cloudtail/Brightheart thing (no idea on why someone would hate her for that though), and her mentorship of Jaypaw/feather I guess?? Idk just guessing here
Me: I wish Akira could post the most hated cats soon Akira: *Everyone’s most hated cats video* Me: HELL YEAH! Edit: this is the most likes I’ve gotten :) THANK YOU.
he is most definitely a character, mentioned often by Sol's mother and appearing in the book, but honestly I found that out from the wiki so I get not realizing.
@@ladykatie8204 You're totally right. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that a video not about the new book wouldn't have spoilers about the new book. Even if it is from the same franchise.
Sleekwhisker is a jerk but she's also a girlboss. Her bad adittude makes her fun. As for Jayfeather, he can be grating at times and the fandom is over saturated with his fan content so it's kinda understandable. I honestly don't have much of an opinion on him.
i think it's because more people have read books with jayfeather in them than sleekwhisker as she appears way later, plus jayfeather is pretty polarising on his own anyway
@@LichtsternWaCa I like Jayfeather nowadays, but the only reason is due to his Barnes and Noble exclusive chapter where it added a lot of depth to his character. I thought he was insufferable as a kid when I read POT and OOTS… in a more recent read through I actually enjoyed his character though
I'm always happy to vote for these videos! Also Akira your usually really good for warning about spoilers from new books but you said who was the new RiverClan leader and i was kinda dissapointed since i hadn't had the chance to pick up star and i was excited to see who the new leader would be by reading the book
I'd say the reason Gray Wing, Tom and Skystar (or Clear Sky) got alot of hate due to Moonkitti's recent video on Bumble that at least adresses how *messed up* DOTC is towards it's female characters and especially Bumble. It's deserved 100%, i myself voted for them, and i'd assume most people voted Skystar for this poll since his "redemption" is not written well at all. If warrior cats fans hate nuance, the authors are downright ALLERGIC to it.
I really want to like Ivypool but the fandom has just ruined her for me with all the needless Dovewing hate. I think the sisters have a lot of the same flaws that haters of either sister like to point out. But I feel like I’ve seen so many more people put Ivy on a pedestal and hate on Dove and that’s honestly made me resent Ivypool more. I’m trying to get over this bias and understand why other people love her so much (and then maybe I can appreciate her character) but the fandom has made that so difficult.
Dovewing drove me crazy when I first read the series because I was so used to reading Hollyleaf's POV, and I thought that Dovewing was a bit of a Mary-Sue in contrast. But now that I'm older and Dovewing has developed, I really like her- especially because of her role in Tigerheartstar's novel and the later books. However Ivypool still brings me a lot of joy and I love them both.
I have to agree about the unnecessary Dovewing/Ivypool arguments but I once had eight different people breathing down my neck simply for saying I like Ivypool. I guess weird hate is on both sides.
i forgot to vote and am so mad about that 💀💀 but if i could’ve i would’ve definitely voted for dovetail and squirrelstar , im worried now that one of their die hard fans will show up at my door 🙏
I genuinely don’t like tigerstar because of how he died, I don’t hate him, I just think it’s anticlimactic to have him killed by another villain without putting up a fight, also it’s kind off annoying that the 1st arc had 3 main villains, not counting dark stripe though cause he’s just a villain to sorrelkit 😢
Me, nodding: Uh huh. I get it, well loved characters in the fandom are bound to also have some haters. Nothing to do about it. *notices someone voted Badgerfang* WHO VOTES FOR BADGERFANG????
I don't think Brambleclaw deserve all the hate. Almost all the people who hate them are always behind fandom opinion. I used to hate him too but then I read the books and he wasn't bad tbh. My boy deserves compression
I kinda agree. I have issues with how he's written and I understand the sentiment but... #1 is insane, the hate is blown way out of proportion for what's actually written in the books themselves (at least in comparsion to other characters).
Was surprised to see Needletail so low on the list. She was responsible for me no longer reading the latest books (though, what they've put out about Moonpaw is tempting me). Seeing her be treated as a valiant but mislead cat rather the irresponsible jerk she came across as infuriated me. I was kinda hoping Bramble wouldn't rank #1 (hopelessly attached to this guy since childhood because my first set of books was TNP) but it wasn't unexpected. The number of villains high on the list did surprise me, though. Unless a villain does something particularly infuriating or I find them very poorly written, I usually don't care too much. They're villains. They're gonna be bad people and do bad things. Duh.
I read a portion of TBC, but I never finished the arc. I stopped after The Silent Thaw. Up until AvoS, I had read every single arc from start to finish at least once. Since I haven't completed an arc since AvoS (and actually haven't touched ASC at all), I consider AvoS to be the arc I "stopped reading" Warriors at.
As a certified Squirrelflight Hater ™, a lot of it is because the fandom hardly ever acknowledges how she's written in the actual text. They will go out of their way to say x or y isn't canon ("no, she took the three out of the goodness of her own heart, canon doesn't exist!" "i'm going to ignore her telling Jayfeather he can't blame her and to blame Leafpool," etc) but don't want to like her for her entire personality. Ironically, I LIKE actual canon Squirrelflight. Headstrong, bold, but above all... self-serving. Her taking the three for her own wants? Canon. Her yelling at old man, sickly Blackstar in his own camp while Bramblestar tells her to stop? Canon. Her telling Jayfeather not to blame her because it was Leafpool? Canon. Her refusing to support Sunbeam outright in wanting to help her family, to potentially save face politically? Canon. And none of that makes her a bad character. In fact, "above all, I and mine need to survive," is one of my favorite traits in a character. And Squirrel has it in bucket loads - that's why she was willing to go completely nuclear during the fire scene and jumped there so fast. Sure, there could have been other ways out of the situation, but getting out quickly and all four of them surviving was the important part. But the fandom just holding up this version of Squirrelflight that doesn't exist and worshiping it as the best is soooo irritating. And this isn't from a place of Brambleclaw or Ashfur love - in fact, I dislike both of them, and their existence means very little for how I feel about Squirrelflight, as the reasons I dislike her are almost completely fandom-based. If the fandom didn't exist she'd probably rank higher for me, though TNP Squirrel would still be one of my least favorite characters of all time.
THIS, I completely agree with this. Squirrelflight is extremely morally gray, and the fact that the fandom tries to portray her as this “Badass Queen who can do no wrong” is mildly infuriating,.
While I am disappointed Onestar was not number one. I am glad he was so high in the list. The problem with Onestar is that he always has to be dragged kicking and screaming to the obviously correct decision. And cats often die because of this. Smh 21:02
Me looking at the poll remembering I can't use my rewrite and how strange it would look to say I ship Stormfur with Cherrytail (Midnight tells them to save SkyClan and then move the clans)
Brambleclaw being first surprised me a bit. I get it, he’s definitely a dislikable character as of Squirrelflight’s Hope, which is the only warriors book I’ve ever stopped reading out of frustration (towards his horrid behaviour), but I don’t think he’s nearly as hate-able as some characters. I was surprised he ranked higher than Thistleclaw and Rainflower. He was interesting in TNP. He’s been emotionally abusive and Squirrelstar should break up with him, but as I mentioned I think he at least had some interesting arcs earlier on, which spares him from being a character I unequivocally dislike. It’s more mixed feelings for me personally. I am very glad Clear Sky/Skystar was second place. I am a proud Clear Sky hater. LOL (Side Note: My favourite highly-hated characters are Tigerstar 2.0 and Dovewing. I’m 19 and a lot of my opinions formed when I read the books at 7-14 though since I haven’t reread the older ones since then so this could have changed lol.)
Wasn't surprised at all. The poll is usually Akira's main audience which is also cross over of Bliximi and Moonkitti, all those creators are very big Squirrel, and Leaf lovers which into turn their main audience tends to be. I was 100% expecting Bramble to be #1. That being said I do think it's only because if the limited audience polled. I do not think if the larger fanbase was polled he'd be #1, top 10 for sure and probably top 5 but 1? I dont see how you argue Ashfur is better than Bramble in any realm. People just like Squirrel so their hate for Bramble is amplified. I'm not a Bramble lover, to me he is pretty boring and both cats in SquirrelXBramble are problematic, obviously Brmable is worse but neither are good for each other. People get mad that Bramble was mad at Squirrel for lying about Holly, Jay, and Lion. That is a reasonable thing to be mad about. And honestly I think it would have been a great place to end their relationship. I'm not someone who likes Squirrel, I think fandom Squirrel is infinitely more likeable than canon Squirrel so maybe that just makes my hate in Bramble a bit less idk. Obviously everyone is bias but I think there's so many worse cats worthy of that #1 and truly think it's mainly just bias of the polled group. Most of these comments are just about Squirrel, which just goes to show how many of the viewers love her. I dont understand how Squirrel lovers dont vote Ash more, my main guess is that he is dead now while we still have to tolerate Bramble. For me it's just so hard to hate purely for the relationship thing because I truly believe most of it is just really really bad writing execution. The side characters always act like the relationship is just one of those 'push each other buttons but love each other' type of trope, which I do truly think is the intent. But in true Warriors Cats writing fashion they forget to actually show the 'love' part and only show the 'push each others buttons' so it comes out as this truly toxic horrible to read relationship. I think the writers are stating to see their fail and pushing Bramble to the side, I just wish they broke them up earlier (I do love Alderheart so maybe after he was born). If I'm honest I'm so tired of the cats from the second series I'm not inclined to read until they are all dead. Aside from Crow I dont think they were that intresting espically Squirrel and Bramble. They have had enough spotlight
From what I've seen, it's way more likely for a Squilf lover to like Ashfur as well, but hate Bramble. It's a weird phenomenon, but I've seen it a lot. Over the top of my head I can remember two content creators who are like this: Moonkitti is the most obvious one. She Loves squirreflight, and she has said many times she really likes Ashfur. Akira loves Squilf as well, and I'm pretty sure has put Ashfur on the top of the list of best villains @@finnsnow2495
Okay my votes are interesting compared to the result. 2 votes being in less than 3 votes each (Finch Song and Frogleap) and 2 top 10 (Tom and Clear Sky).
I didnt get to vote but i would have voted; Leafstar, Brambleclaw/star, (tc) frecklewish, Onestar, and Velvet i think her name was.(No hate to anyone who likes these characters this is just my opinion) if i had more votes id pick millie and pinestar
Me: as long as Crowfeather doesn't get 20 votes I'm happy. Me: Alright as long as he does get 30 votes I'm happy. Me: as long as he isn't in the top 20 I'm happy. Me : as long as he isn't in the top 10 I'm happy. HE'S ONLY 19TH PLACE :D
I've been waiting for this since i submitted my vote So excited to watch! Okay so I was I've if the Hollyleaf voters. Honestly, i don't mind that much that she was an (anti-hero?? I forgot what its called) it was because she was just annoying to me. She got better in her last book alive, but i still don't really like her. Also i love jayfeather and she kinda screwed him over then ran away and let him (and lionblaze, i guess) believe their own sister was dead and her body was rotting in the cave. Anyway, it's fine if people like her, but i don't and frankly just don't like her attitude Also i despise ashfur for what he did to precious bristlefrost :(
(note: this comment spoils who gets first place) (this is NOT hate, im just gently saying this) I’m actually really surprised Brambleclaw got 1st place. I get _why_ he has haters, he can be pretty bad to Squilf sometimes, and he has made pretty questionable life choices. But there are so many cats way worse then him (Like Thistleclaw, Onestar, Leopardstar, Blackstar, etc) who I think are way more deserving of the title…. But that’s just my own personal opinion.
Nah, Ravenwing deserves MORE hate. Blind-af JAYFEATHER could have seen what telling Oakstar would have lead to for the kits. And there’s the fact that we don’t even know is his “sign” was real. Crowfeather also deserves more hate. He’s half the reason Breezepelt turned out how he did.
A WHOLE FAMILY. (Nightcloud + Crowfeather and Breezepelt / Leafpool + Crowfeather and Jayfeather, Hollyleaf and Lionblaze. AND Brambleclaw and Squirrelstar with Alderheart and Sparkpelt.)
My favorite number was so close to the amount of votes, the votes were 1598- my favorite number is 1589 Also, NO NOT MOTH FLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is best character, not enough love is given to her!!! Same with Gray Wing, Everyone is so mean to the good characterssss..... Same with Star Flower and Skystar........ they are such well written characters......................
lol I knew Dovewing was gonna be high on the list everyone says shes "overrated" a lot of people hate her because shes whiny but I haven't seen her be whiny in her chapters before *sigh* maybe she should be more edgy 😔
14:04 i've heard the issue isn't her being overrated, it's cuz she's overUSED. she's relevant to just about every little thing. kinda makes you wonder why she needed 9 lives after al the crap she went through with just 1
Just before I see my precious Jayfeather in this list ima call out some people: Most people probably hate him for either his personality, or just to f with Akira 💀 there’s no in between. Also I’m assuming he got quite a bit for the second reason 💀 Edit: Just got done watching, WHO ARE THE 101 PEOPLE. GIVE ME THEIR NAMES/j 👹
"What did snowkit do to get on your bad side" Hi, I voted snowkit. There's not very many characters I dislike, so I voted based on characters I thought were overrated, and I think Snowkit gets too much attention from the fandom.
I just think voting on a deaf kit is too much if your only reason is because he's overrated. Couldn't you have picked a random background character jerk?
I know Lionblaze is unpopular but in my opinion he's been redeemed in the latest books, where he's portrayed as a bloodthirsty freak. The TRUE worst warrior cats are the boring ones, and Lionblaze is no longer boring, QED

BRO WHY PEOPLE HATE BRIGHTHEART?! She’s literally the best she-cat in the series! Dang, I’m surprised Firestar is that hated.😕
honestky I liked brightheart until I read about cloudtail.. sure swiftoaw died but you could’ve done so much better.
The only things that came to mind is the Daisy/Cloudtail/Brightheart thing (no idea on why someone would hate her for that though), and her mentorship of Jaypaw/feather I guess?? Idk just guessing here

Darkstripe is actually a character I like I even rp as him sometimes in the warrior cats Roblox game
Thank you for doing this Akira! It probably took a horid amount of time and energy to do this
Waiting to see how much is for my favorites scourge and needletail kinda excepting alot for scourge tbh
Brambleclaw being first surprised me a bit. I get it, he’s definitely a dislikable character as of Squirrelflight’s Hope, which is the only warriors book I’ve ever stopped reading out of frustration (towards his horrid behaviour), but I don’t think he’s nearly as hate-able as some characters. I was surprised he ranked higher than Thistleclaw and Rainflower. He was interesting in TNP. He’s been emotionally abusive and Squirrelstar should break up with him, but as I mentioned I think he at least had some interesting arcs earlier on, which spares him from being a character I unequivocally dislike. It’s more mixed feelings for me personally.
I am very glad Clear Sky/Skystar was second place. I am a proud Clear Sky hater. LOL
(Side Note: My favourite highly-hated characters are Tigerstar 2.0 and Dovewing. I’m 19 and a lot of my opinions formed when I read the books at 7-14 though since I haven’t reread the older ones since then so this could have changed lol.)
Wasn't surprised at all. The poll is usually Akira's main audience which is also cross over of Bliximi and Moonkitti, all those creators are very big Squirrel, and Leaf lovers which into turn their main audience tends to be. I was 100% expecting Bramble to be #1. That being said I do think it's only because if the limited audience polled. I do not think if the larger fanbase was polled he'd be #1, top 10 for sure and probably top 5 but 1? I dont see how you argue Ashfur is better than Bramble in any realm. People just like Squirrel so their hate for Bramble is amplified. I'm not a Bramble lover, to me he is pretty boring and both cats in SquirrelXBramble are problematic, obviously Brmable is worse but neither are good for each other. People get mad that Bramble was mad at Squirrel for lying about Holly, Jay, and Lion. That is a reasonable thing to be mad about. And honestly I think it would have been a great place to end their relationship. I'm not someone who likes Squirrel, I think fandom Squirrel is infinitely more likeable than canon Squirrel so maybe that just makes my hate in Bramble a bit less idk. Obviously everyone is bias but I think there's so many worse cats worthy of that #1 and truly think it's mainly just bias of the polled group. Most of these comments are just about Squirrel, which just goes to show how many of the viewers love her.
I dont understand how Squirrel lovers dont vote Ash more, my main guess is that he is dead now while we still have to tolerate Bramble.
For me it's just so hard to hate purely for the relationship thing because I truly believe most of it is just really really bad writing execution. The side characters always act like the relationship is just one of those 'push each other buttons but love each other' type of trope, which I do truly think is the intent. But in true Warriors Cats writing fashion they forget to actually show the 'love' part and only show the 'push each others buttons' so it comes out as this truly toxic horrible to read relationship. I think the writers are stating to see their fail and pushing Bramble to the side, I just wish they broke them up earlier (I do love Alderheart so maybe after he was born). If I'm honest I'm so tired of the cats from the second series I'm not inclined to read until they are all dead. Aside from Crow I dont think they were that intresting espically Squirrel and Bramble. They have had enough spotlight
From what I've seen, it's way more likely for a Squilf lover to like Ashfur as well, but hate Bramble. It's a weird phenomenon, but I've seen it a lot. Over the top of my head I can remember two content creators who are like this: Moonkitti is the most obvious one. She Loves squirreflight, and she has said many times she really likes Ashfur. Akira loves Squilf as well, and I'm pretty sure has put Ashfur on the top of the list of best villains @@finnsnow2495
I remember voting in this! The video is finally out!!
3:20 pffffttt
4:07 also pfffft Pack Leader
19:20 Yesss thank goodness he wasn't forgotten! I voted him :D
Okay my votes are interesting compared to the result. 2 votes being in less than 3 votes each (Finch Song and Frogleap) and 2 top 10 (Tom and Clear Sky).
I didnt get to vote but i would have voted; Leafstar, Brambleclaw/star, (tc) frecklewish, Onestar, and Velvet i think her name was.(No hate to anyone who likes these characters this is just my opinion) if i had more votes id pick millie and pinestar
Dang it Breezepelt fans, we lost, just four of you didn’t vote for Crowfeather, dang guys
Bro, how did Ivypool get so much hate? I get that she was pretty stupid as an apprentice, but she's such a great warrior!
Me: as long as Crowfeather doesn't get 20 votes I'm happy.
Me: Alright as long as he does get 30 votes I'm happy.
Me: as long as he isn't in the top 20 I'm happy.
Me : as long as he isn't in the top 10 I'm happy.
HE'S ONLY 19TH PLACE :D
I voted! I don't really have that many ships though, but I was still happy to participate in the poll!
I've been waiting for this since i submitted my vote
So excited to watch!
Okay so I was I've if the Hollyleaf voters. Honestly, i don't mind that much that she was an (anti-hero?? I forgot what its called) it was because she was just annoying to me. She got better in her last book alive, but i still don't really like her. Also i love jayfeather and she kinda screwed him over then ran away and let him (and lionblaze, i guess) believe their own sister was dead and her body was rotting in the cave. Anyway, it's fine if people like her, but i don't and frankly just don't like her attitude
Also i despise ashfur for what he did to precious bristlefrost :(
Dang it. Wasn't expecting the Star spoiler here. I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive. 😢
Spoiler alert for the poll results
Is Brambleclaw honestly more hated than Thistleclaw, Rainflower and Darkstripe????
I agree. Those cats are worse.
4:51 poor smudge why do 9 peeps hate him 😢
Video 9 of asking akira to make an updated version to what order should I read the books
Lemonbee jumps are those who know
:)
17:04 i kn ow graystripe didn't like darkstripe either, but it must suck for his brother AND one of his sons to be so loathed
(note: this comment spoils who gets first place)
(this is NOT hate, im just gently saying this)
I’m actually really surprised Brambleclaw got 1st place. I get _why_ he has haters, he can be pretty bad to Squilf sometimes, and he has made pretty questionable life choices. But there are so many cats way worse then him (Like Thistleclaw, Onestar, Leopardstar, Blackstar, etc) who I think are way more deserving of the title….
But that’s just my own personal opinion.
Nah, Ravenwing deserves MORE hate. Blind-af JAYFEATHER could have seen what telling Oakstar would have lead to for the kits. And there’s the fact that we don’t even know is his “sign” was real. Crowfeather also deserves more hate. He’s half the reason Breezepelt turned out how he did.
Noooo I haven’t read star yet😭😭 I don’t blame you but now I got spoiled so hard 😭
No way WAKE UP AKIRA POSTEDDD
WHO BOTED SHATTERED ICE?!?! HE IS MY FAVE I LOVE HIM
What did Juniperclaw, Stonefur, or Whitestorm ever do to y'all?? 😭😭
(Where is my boy Reedwhisker at btw)
Akira I adore you but why must you include spoilers! Star isnt out in my country yet, and America won't ship the book to me :(
WHAT THE FLIPITY FLIP 😱 ITS BEEN 25 MINS AND I GOT THIS RECOMMENDED
A WHOLE FAMILY.
(Nightcloud + Crowfeather and Breezepelt / Leafpool + Crowfeather and Jayfeather, Hollyleaf and Lionblaze.
AND Brambleclaw and Squirrelstar with Alderheart and Sparkpelt.)
My favorite number was so close to the amount of votes, the votes were 1598- my favorite number is 1589
Also, NO NOT MOTH FLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is best character, not enough love is given to her!!! Same with Gray Wing, Everyone is so mean to the good characterssss..... Same with Star Flower and Skystar........ they are such well written characters......................
sweats bc hasn’t seen my jayfeather yet 😭(I like him i rlly hope he isn’t on this list.)
finds that he has over 100 votes -dies-
I'm throwing hands with the one Ferncloud hater. How dare you insult my queen
IM HERE.
14:34 Definitely didn't vote for him.. Eh...
Heh, me neither! Who would….
same!! I would never... /j
lol I knew Dovewing was gonna be high on the list everyone says shes "overrated" a lot of people hate her because shes whiny but I haven't seen her be whiny in her chapters before
*sigh* maybe she should be more edgy 😔
I'm surprised, it felt like people had warmed up to her a lot in the last few years. I guess she still has plenty of active haters.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 yeah i'm surprised too, she honestly did nothing to deserve all the hate
I voted motherwing sry ( thanks to the other 32 other people who agreed with me)
MOTHERwing????????
I hate Mothwing too dw😭
@@123_itz_kitty_cupcake9 same
2 MINUTES I LOVE YOU AKIRA
WHAT DID GOOSEFEATHER DO TO DESERVE 13 VOTES? 😟
14:04 i've heard the issue isn't her being overrated, it's cuz she's overUSED. she's relevant to just about every little thing. kinda makes you wonder why she needed 9 lives after al the crap she went through with just 1
As someone who voted for her: it’s actually because of the overrated too, and I personally find her very annoying.
Well, I think Mothwing is overrated, but you won't be seeing me putting her in my list of most hated cats. It shouldn't be a factor at all ngl
6 MINUTES AGO?!? WHATTT?!?
Just before I see my precious Jayfeather in this list ima call out some people:
Most people probably hate him for either his personality, or just to f with Akira 💀 there’s no in between. Also I’m assuming he got quite a bit for the second reason 💀
Edit: Just got done watching, WHO ARE THE 101 PEOPLE. GIVE ME THEIR NAMES/j 👹
I forgot to vote 😭😭😭 oh well I voted in the new one right away so I wouldn’t forget lol
Who voted for whitestorm- also who votes princess lol
I was like "EXCUSE ME? WHY IN DAH HECK WOULD YOU NOT LIKE SQUIRRELSTAR?" btw she is m fav cat
Bramble claw is one of my fav 😢
"What did snowkit do to get on your bad side"
Hi, I voted snowkit. There's not very many characters I dislike, so I voted based on characters I thought were overrated, and I think Snowkit gets too much attention from the fandom.
I just think voting on a deaf kit is too much if your only reason is because he's overrated. Couldn't you have picked a random background character jerk?
I don’t know why, but seeing Beetlewhisker in the 0 votes list makes me happy.
My man Rainwhisker made it, too!
(Probably because most of the fandom forgot about him after The Sight, though.)
Proud day to be a lionblaze, rainflower and brambleclaw hater
I know Lionblaze is unpopular but in my opinion he's been redeemed in the latest books, where he's portrayed as a bloodthirsty freak. The TRUE worst warrior cats are the boring ones, and Lionblaze is no longer boring, QED
The one person that voted Whitethroat, I WILL FIDE YUO.
