0 Selvaria, Yukina, Shizuo

So, a more evenly distributed representation this time around, though there still are five spaces left.  That being said, it's worth noting that two of the Shanas were noted character specialists of other characters before switching, batta/butter for Kirino and GO1 for Kirito.  I get the distinct impression from butter's timeline that he switched to Shana because he did not like Kirino vs Rentarou.  I'm surprised at the two Taigas who qualified, also there are a lot of annoying anime waifu aliases as usual.
