Oh I see what you mean now but to be fair, when I was an anime only and 2nd just ended I would have guessed that the only winners would be either Yotsuba or Itsuki, exactly because there wasn't a great romantic tension with ANY character.
Fuutarou, in the anime, have showed very little preference in the romantic aspect but on the friend side, Yotsuba and Itsuki were way ahead of others, and where there's no romance yet, friendship (especially with a character like him) is the place you would want to be
When I read the manga (from the start, it's important, anime willingly cut everyone's content except Miku's and Nino's) I realised that there could be only one choice and I was right. It's still surprising to me how to many people it flew over their head.
I think a lot of people conflated the idea of the girls being romantic with the actual progression of the relationship with him. For him there was no such a thing as love, so how can you be romantic with a person who doesn't understand romanticism?
As he started to understand the joy of life and love, he could only see the one who opened him a new world. He started to copy her phrases and mannerism. There's no intrinsec quality she had that made him fall for her. It's the time they spent together, the effort she put to make him see a better world, to make him value friendship and love, to make him happy with the things he really cares about
TL;DR
Fuutarou cares more about friendship, when he started to understand love, he chose the friend he could always count on and he's grateful to
to be honest i would root for yotsuba if there's more screen time
yotsuba as a winner might be justified in manga but its not manga na?
we cant judge anime with manga pov
honestly there's wasnt much of romantism or friendship moments we got between futarou and yotsuba in season 1 and season2
aside from ep 10 of season 2 and early season1 episodes where yotsuba being first to start study
i just didnt get any connection between them and since i am anime only , i honestly can judge from what i can seee
so aside movie where they just throw all character development on face ,there wasnt much of yotsuba ....that's what my problem is
i liked Miku and Nino
but yeah anime didn't hint anything like either Nino or Miku are winner
also i considered Itsuki could be winner , infact i felt Itsuki would be the winner
Itsuki had less screen time but still i found Itsuki and futarou's conversation being connecting, i felt they can connect pretty good as couples
also, if you noticed in movie Itsuki was the only one not to kiss futarou so that further strengthen my prediction
but they didnt need to throw DAD issue in the end to show Itsuki's character development
that's why yotsuba being a winner in the end felt like something being thrown on my face
