Template:Possible spoilers
Now that BFB's over—wow, I can't believe I'm saying this—all the episodes have been completed and we can finally get an idea of who has spoken the most syllables in the show. I've never done this before, as a BFDI season hasn't been properly completed since January 2012, a few months before I discovered the series.
Unlike other line analyses I've done, I'm not just going to list the top five or ten most-speaking characters "so far"; I'm going to go all out and include them all. After all, there won't be an episode 31 outside fanfiction world!
But like all line analyses, there will most likely be spoilers, so beware if you haven't watched anything yet.
Top 20 speaking characters from BFB 30[]
10.5% of all syllables spoken in the entire season were spoken in this episode—that's 9,138 out of 87,377, so I was surprised that the number of syllables made by the most talkative one this episode was less than I thought. But that just shows how well written this episode was; it seems like everybody got a part.

Most-speaking voice actors in BFB[]
A very rough estimate; there are times where voice actors changed in the middle of the series, and I don't exactly know who I'd put down for the disembodied voices.
All data for this comes from the Other Wiki or from rewatched episodes.
