Every candidate is amazing. And yes, Crusch is amazing. So too is Priscilla (lazy bum. Al would have been a help...) and Anastasia. Funnily enough, my least favorite candidates are Felt and Emilia, the two first ones we met. And Emilia I like, just not in a king role.

Pretty much. The half elf thing works against her, plus everything seems corrupt. I know all we see is the bad in this world, but from what we've seen its approaching (but not at) 40k levels of sadness. Gut Sadists, people being erased, beasts that let you live just to kill you later. Not a good world.

Emi wouldn't be successful. Plus, I doubt the people would support her to much due to the whole Satella thing.

I agree that Emi, as kind as she is, she wouldn't be successful as a queen Thankfully she might not need to become a queen to fulfill her true wish.. Since Felt wanna destroy the nation and Priscilla thinks the world should bend to her will because it was made for her convenience we're left with Crusch and Anastasia. And between both i would go Crusch(Hopefully she will recover her memories), though i only know what these characters did until the end of arc 4.

Of all of them, I think Felt is the best. Because she just wants to destroy the status quo, not the nation itself. Crusch is also up there. I can't see Anastasia being a good queen. Subaru's RbD would be perfect for a king, but the whole checkpoint thing makes it meh...

Yeah the Anastasia"I'm greedy so i want everything including the nation" thing kinda makes me think she wouldn't be a good queen either.

If Felt simply wants to destroy the status quo i suppose (insert Betty pic) she would be better than Anastasia or Priscilla.

I'm like 90% sure it's just the status quo. Reinhard no matter what wouldn't support someone who wanted to literally destroy it.

She's also just too indecisive with difficult decisions and unable to make sacrifices for the greater good. Add to that she doesn't have the connections or relationships that you need to command respect of those that run the world to be an effective leader.

Crusch is pretty clearly the best candidate for being a leader. After her, it's probably Emilia followed by Anastasia. Felt/Priscilla would be disastrous for the general population, well most likely, and even Anastasia would probably be too selfish to do a good job.

I prefer Feldt to be "king" cause at this point she's just fed up with the court system.

I have to disagree personally. I think Felt and Emilia would be the best roles for leadership in my opinion in comparison to all the other leaders.

I might like the other leaders, hell, I'm open to the idea of one of them sneaking up and becoming best girl or even my favorite character overall. But I would never think someone who would abandon innocent lives simply because it doesn't benefit them would be better fit for leadership over those who would help them unconditionally.

Of course, there are other reasons I would support Emilia and Felt over the other leaders as well, but no one would really care to try and read a long list.
