It says
・これは、世界へ日本のみんなの気持ちをのせた飛行機です。
This is the plane carrying the feelings of the Japanese people to the world.

"Fight" in Japanese (ファイト！) is akin to a rallying cheer, similar in meaning to "Gambare!" (頑張れ！). Remember, this is English from a Japanese person's (child's) perspective. Plus, since this 763 will only be on domestic routes, I wouldn't be too surprised if it was chosen. (Though I would hope ANA has more sense than that...)

I like the one in the upper right personally.

I doubt it -- I would expect them to use the popularity of a particular design as 判断材料 at best and make their own decision. The more complex designs would obviously cost more to paint, of course.

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I came across a design I really thought was nice by someone on YouTube. I agree with armagebedar above that it probably would have been too expensive and weight penalizing to paint and fly, but it really looked nice. At least the 60th anniversary and history of the airline comes through to me. Why it didn't make it to at least the finals is beyond me. Those characters are even ANA's too. Represents Japan very well IMHO.
This person even rendered it out in what looks like flight sim and really you get a good feel for how it would look in real life. Wow, was really impressed.

Welcome to FT and the ANA forum, SteveKay! And thanks for the link! It's definitely interesting, although a bit over the top...
