Reina Ueda’s frontrunner status at roughly 30% reflects strong trader consensus around her standout vocal work as Reze in the freshly released Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, where her layered emotional range and signature intensity have drawn widespread critical and fan acclaim since the film’s rollout. Aoi Yuki sits second at 18% on the strength of her nuanced, critically lauded performance as Maomao in The Apothecary Diaries Season 2, building on her prior award momentum in the role. The remaining nominees trail far behind, underscoring how the category’s outcome hinges on last-minute guild and critic sentiment ahead of the May 23 ceremony in Tokyo, where any late surge in streaming metrics or precursor buzz could still shift the field.
