MY TOP ANTI-WAIFUS OF 2020
Hello my friends.
As many of you know, some days ago, I published my list of MY TOP WAIFUS OF 2020, and then I wrote the second part afterwards. I am working in the third part despite of my work shifts these days. After all, 2020 was full of fantastic, memorable female characters.
However, just like there were amazing heroines last year, there are just… awful characters that, far from becoming the ladies of our dreams, became the ladies of our nightmares. No! I take back! We don’t want to see them in our nightmares. In other words, the anti-waifus.
There is a yang for every yin. And here, there is no exception. Here are my 2020 anti-waifus. Again, it is just my opinion, based on the impressions that these characters left on me.
But before I go with this travel of disgust, I must ask to ask you the question:
Are you guys ok? Staying safe?
If the answer is yes. Then I am happy.
But first… lets get our…
DISHONOURABLE MENTIONS
Most of the harem – Peter Grill and The Philosopher’s Time
I will try to be brief here. But, when I wrote my impressions from Peter Grill and The Philosopher’s Time, I thought that this is the first time I have seen a harem working so hard to make themselves hated… for the most part. From my perspective, these girls don’t even want Peter Grill himself, they just want his… juice, for their… harvest. And some of them go to very low to even blackmail our protagonist to get what they want.
They only reason of why I am not including them is because our protagonist is so stupid enough not to resist them. Furthermore, they are that bad, but I consider they deserve a mention.
MALTY «B*TCH» MELROMARC – RISING OF THE SHIELD HERO
I know what you’re thinking. Jaime. What is this? Mal… B*tch came in 2019.
Yes. That’s true, it is just that her character is so despicable, so unforgivable that it basically overcomes time itself. And rest assured that from season 2, she will only get worse, especially during the Spirit Tortoise arc.
Nothing else to say.
And now… OUR ANTI-WAIFUS. (SPOILER ALERT!!)
DEE EYE ELL – SAO ALICIZATION
Chancellor of the Dark Mages Guild and of the generals of the army of the Dark Territory, at the service of Emperor Vecta (a.k.a. Gabriel Miller), she is everything you can expect from a ruthless, almost supremacist villain. The way she addresses to Lilpilin, and her borderline obsession toward her master and his cause gets the worst of her.
Without mentioning her despicable act toward Leafa at the beginning of War of the Underworld – Part II. I just made me so furious… really.
Of all the generals of Vecta/Gabriel Miller, she was definitely the most disgusting, so much that, after her downfall at the hands of Leafa, all want I thought was…
HIKAWA – GLEIPNIR
The very first enemy that Clair and Shuichi face after the transformation of the latter. For me, there is only one word for this character… terrifying, and definitely not the person you want to meet if you are in a dark, isolated alley.
Brash, rude, foul-mouthed, and extremely shameless, Hikawa is not meant to be a very complex or memorable character. She is basically tasting the strength, and posterior bonding of our main protagonists. But her attitude and ruthlessness makes you wish to stay away, as much as possible. as both enemy and waifu.
In fact… how many pelvises you think she could break during any… bonding?
MIREI JINNO – THE ISLAND OF GIANT INSECTS
What can be worse that being cast away in an uncharted island with giant, perverted insects? Being cast away with a person so horrendous, so irredeemable that she not just abandons you to your death, but also allows to another survivor to rape you… almost.
Mirei Jinno, from Kyochou Rettou, represents that awful, superficial and cowardly character from the American horror movies. That’s right. Those who you want to die first. Before the events, she was a bully for our protagonist, Mutsumi Oribe, and a hooker… Literally, because she sells her body to another survivor so they can work together and save themselves.
On top of that, being dress as a hooker makes her uglier, because, for me, that is proof of how selfish and corrupt she is.
I don’t know. Perhaps if the story of The Island of Great Insects had more substance, instead of more substantial graphic parts, it will have a better reception. But one thing is for sure. It won’t take long before we meet an anti-waifu we will love to hate.
MAMI NANAMI – RENT A GIRLFRIEND
To be honest, I cannot say Mami left a good impression on me. After all… What kind of girl dumps her boyfriend after just one month, for no apparent reason, and then trashtalks his ex-boyfriend when he invites another girl? In just two episodes!!!!
Furthermore, every time I look at her eyes, I got this ominous feeling that she is up to something. Manipulative, insensitive, and selfish, Nevertheless, since I am still watching the rest of the episodes of Rent-A-Girlfriend, I am trying not to be this harsh with Mami, even though she made merits to get some hatred.
I am still waiting to see if she has some kind of redemption. Perhaps I am expecting too much, or talking too soon. But nothing will change my low impression of her.
And now… my worst anti-waifu.
One favour from Earth itself… Eat me!!
RACHEL – TOWER OF GOD
Man… where to start?
Some wish like «want to reach the stars» sounds inspiring and beautiful for a protagonist, however, when you combine that desire with «the end justifies the means», and a manipulative personality, that is the perfect combination for a protagonist villain. Rachel is supposed to be Bam’s best friend, and his reason to enter the Tower of God, just to find her «wounded». And throughout almost twelve episodes, we see Bam fighting, overcoming challenges of lethal cunning, and protecting her.
And how does Rachel repays him?
Then, in episode 13, she tells Bam’s friends that he died protecting her, convincing them to take her to the top of the tower in his memory.
As you might see by now, we are witness of Rachel’s true personality; selfish, manipulative, jealous and uncaring. I am still reading the manhwa, but I can tell you that her character gets worse and worse. And this is not even a secret. The author of Tower of God, S.I.U. said and I quote.
«Baam being ‘Shounen main character’ in Headon’s floor is intended to some degree.
Because Rachel is someone who cannot be so… (…) If Baam is ‘Typical Main Character’
Rachel would be ‘Anti Main Character'»
Yep. Sorry folks. For all intents and purposes, Rachel is meant to be hated.
CONCLUSION
And there you go.
Honestly, I am out of words, talking about these anti-waifus left me tired, and if that is not evidence of how awful they are, I don’t what could be. Nevertheless, this is evidence that 2020 in anime was an interesting year, and I am convinced that 2021 will be as fascinating, if not better.
And I must leave you, because… Mami is coming for me, and I think she wants… revenge.
Could this be any worse?
