10. Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan)
Who is she? The badass energy of Eren Yeager’s childhood friend has undoubtedly taken the viewers of Attack on Titan (one of the best anime series of all time) into a surge of endless adoration.
What we like about her: Her nonchalant and protective demeanour towards Eren has been iconic all throughout the series. One has to be delusional if they would say that Mikasa is frail when she clearly has the strength and skill to take down towering Titans without breaking a sweat.
Also, don’t let that fierce anime face fool you; she can be as soft as any waifu on this list. She is very sentimental and attaches emotional value to anything she receives.
9. Yor Forger (Spy X Family)
Who is she? Now, who doesn’t want a deadly assassin as their foster mother? Well, not everyone, but that still sounds badass. So, Anya sure is one lucky kid to get adopted by Yor Forger.
What we like about her: Despite being able to kill someone in a second, Yor isn’t intimidating at all. If we disregard her night job, she is a kind person. She has a strong maternal instinct and is also very protective of her family, which is always a plus for any waifu.
8. Hinata Hyuga (Naruto)
If we’re talking about the best anime waifu, then we mustn’t forget about Naruto Uzumaki’s actual wife, Hinata Hyuga.
Who is she? She is an iconic Dandere character who worked so hard to live up to Naruto’s expectations. She used to be silent and always hid in her shell. Still, with her character development throughout the series, she becomes a confident shinobi who has no fear of making sacrifices for her duty to protect the village and her family.
What we like about her: She is also known as the Legendary Queen of Gluttony, which she rightfully earned. She is a very strong, down-to-earth character, not to mention a very beautiful woman.
7. Mirko (My Hero Academia)
Who is she? As a person who always speaks her mind, Mirko is a very tough character in terms of both personality and strength. She believes that heroes who team up are weak, and needless to say that she is a very independent character. We stan an independent queen! Her fearless nature is indeed prevalent in her character, and her kicks can certainly take down villains in one hit.
What we like about her: Despite life-threatening situations, Mirko maintains her combative attitude, which proves her perseverance in not giving up. Her appearance also shows how strong and rash he can be. With her very assertive personality and jaw-dropping character design, Mirko is already an icon in every weeb’s waifu list.
6. Makima (Chainsaw Man)
Who is she? Despite being one of the scariest characters in the anime, Makima became a popular waifu in the anime world. With her rather regular appearance of a long-sleeved shirt and pants, Makima’s unsexualized character design breaks the conventions of the usual appearance of a waifu.
What we like about her: At first glance, Makima seems like a kind and gentle character. However, she has some characteristics that shouldn’t be spoiled. She’s a woman filled with mystery and is very charming. With these in mind, it is unclear why people are so drawn to her. Well, we can’t deny that her character is so well-written that people get to disregard her actions and consider her an unforgettable waifu.
5. Asuna Yuuki (Sword Art Online)
Who is she? Being stuck in a digital world would surely devastate someone, especially if they have to play with their lives at stake, but not Asuna. Asuna Yuuki is Sword Art Online’s best girl.
What we like about her: She’s serious and determined to play the game. Although she accompanies Kirito, she is not afraid to act on her own and take matters into her own hands. She has fierce combat skills and a loyal and supportive personality, which is why she’s considered the ultimate waifu.
4. Esdeath (Akame Ga Kill)
Who is she? Ruthless as she can be, Esdeath is another badass character with ice-based powers. She loves to fight and respect those who are strong since she has a philosophy of “the strong survive and the weak die.” This explains her rather manipulative and sad*stic personality. Although she is known to treat her subordinates well.
What we like about her: She is so committed to her word that even in her last breath, she does not regret everything that she has done and is still loyal to Tatsumi. Esdeath is a really strong character both in personality and combat. To put a cherry on top of her character, her character design is top-tier with her slender body, tattooed chest, and light blue hair and eyes.
3. Nico Robin (One Piece)
It would be sacrilegious if there were no strong One Piece characters in this all-time list. One Piece has its fair share of anime waifus, but no one can compare it to Nico Robin, who is the best waifu of them all.
Who is she? The Kuudere character was once a villain but eventually became a hero in the series when she suddenly requested to join the Straw Hat Crew. She is incredibly powerful since she possesses the power to reproduce her body parts—a power she obtained from the Hana Hana no Mi devil fruit. She can also read and decipher Poneglyphs, which is a forbidden and threatening skill to the World Government.
What we like about her: Overall, she is strong, beautiful, and most importantly, smart. She deserves to become the best waifu of the series.
2. Rem (Re: Zero)
With her charming personality, Rem is undoubtedly one of the best waifus of all time! Some people even put her at the top of their list!
Who is she? Rem is skilled in water magic, which she uses to heal and attack enemies. Furthermore, she’s a descendant of the Oni bloodline, which grants her the ability to switch to her Oni form. She drastically becomes stronger in this state, and she can defeat Demon Beasts with her own bare fists.
What we like about her: Despite her submissive and cute appearance, Rem is also badass. She’s also a polite and hardworking maid; however, there are instances when she acts thoughtlessly. With this, she instilled herself as an unforgettable waifu.
1. Kaguya Shinomiya (Love is War)
Who is she? Despite coming from a wealthy family, Kaguya doesn’t want to merely use her family’s status as her identity. She pursues her own interests and does not let any butlers or maids do tasks for her, except for Ai Hayasaka. At first, she was a cold character, but that changed when she joined the student council.
What we like about her: She is a selfless character, although she doesn’t see herself as kind-hearted because of the unhealthy environment she grew up in. Nonetheless, she really treats the members of the student council as her treasured friends, and because of one scene in the recent season, she has become one of the best waifus in all of the anime.
Of course, the above list is not to be confused with our list of the seven strongest female characters in anime.
