Ok, I have no life. I readily admit it.
So recently, I watched every single episode of the first four seasons of the Walking Dead and compiled a list of the number of walkers that each character killed. The only criteria is that the walker must be seen to be killed on screen. For example, in episode 0102 when Merle is firing down from the rooftop into the walkers below, we don't actually see any walkers go down so he doesn't get credit.
First some raw overall numbers. In the 51 episodes of the Walking Dead that make up the first four seasons, there have been a total of 839 confirmed walker kills. 47 different characters have killed at least one walker. Another 29 named characters on the show have zero kills... with some surprising ones listed (Dale!).
Here's the totals, listed most to least (Current living characters in bold):
- Rick (132)
- Daryl (108)
