As a more accurate scale if we're using fan art as a measure of popularity, it would be better to use something like "the number of fan art in the past 30 days" or such. I was actually a bit interested, so I found out how that is in Danbooru:

Nero (all versions, because Nero's different versions are really just the same character, with somewhat different circumstances):

117 tagged images in the past 30 days. (Split by 3, that would be 39 images for each of Nero's versions on average)

Okita (Alter not included, because Alter, in my view can be said to be a completely different character):

65 tagged images in the past 30 days.

Musashi:

44 tagged images in the past 30 days.

So Musashi does lose out even for the past 30 days. That isn't really such a huge margin though, at least for Okita and Musashi, so the result might be different in other sites, such as Pixiv. Also, I apologize for calling this a farce, I was honestly a bit triggered by the earlier exchange in the page that has now been removed.
