Late final week, we unveiled our listing of the highest 10 waifus from 2022. It featured the easiest queens that anime had on provide, from midnight assassins to leporid heroines, and we’re assured it introduced unbridled pleasure to at the very least one particular person on the market, statistically talking.
However I do know what you’re pondering. The place are the lads? These dashing lads, able to melting your coronary heart with a single smirk earlier than stealing away into the misty morning dew? Fear not, thirsty one, as a result of we’re again at it once more, this time with a high 10 listing that merely oozes machismo. To your viewing delight, these are the boys who put the “ohhhhh” in husbando.
As earlier than, our rankings are restricted to just one entrant per anime.
10. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (Bleach)
For these of you desperate to have their daddy complicated catered to, we begin off sizzling by going full granddaddy with a person who has loyally served his individuals for hundreds of years. He’s not only a silver fox, he’s a platinum kitsune, child.
Wizened as he could also be, Yamamoto will nonetheless mess you up twenty methods from Sunday, having hardly misplaced a step over a prolonged profession of badassery. To underestimate him is to satisfy a swift and brutal loss of life, and never coincidentally, this makes him our most popular protector from oncoming threats.
Selecting him as your husbando in all probability received’t end in quite a lot of picnics or baked items — a person who has seen so many birthdays certainly doesn’t have time to recollect yours — and but, watching him mow down hordes of enemies is sufficient to gentle a spark of ardour in even the timidest of temperaments. He additionally will get bonus factors for that gravelly outdated man voice, sure certainly.
9. Tengen Uzui (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba)
Making an attempt to match to the valiant, lionhearted Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, is not any small feat. After our souls had been laid naked within the occasions of the Mugen Practice scuffle, we desperately sought a brand new mentor who may reassemble our fractured psyche.
We simply wanted slightly little bit of coddling, however as an alternative, we acquired a flamboyant, muscular man with no sense of decency in any respect. Tengen Uzui is the very embodiment of noisy extra, which ought to actually come as no shock contemplating he’s the Sound Hashira and all. He in all probability may have additionally certified because the Vanity Hashira or the Protein Powder Hashira.
As off-putting as his character is perhaps to some, as soon as he enters a battle, he’s all enterprise, allotting some actually spectacular strategies that depart his opponents reeling. Moreover, he has a harem of three wives, so he should provide one thing worthwhile to maintain them round. He does have very good hair, admittedly.
8. Maine (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners)
Our Maine man.
If mentorship from Yamamoto or Tengen didn’t catch your fancy, maybe you’d elect to strike up a dialog with this hulking veteran as an alternative? Maine is a proponent of the ‘robust however truthful’ fashion of management, teetering someplace between assertive and crazed as he throws himself headlong into the fray.
Regardless of his relationship with Dorio, we can’t guarantee you {that a} romance with Maine might be something lower than traumatic, as he step by step loses himself to the pains of being a cyberpunk. May your affection be simply what he must return to a humble lifetime of domestication?
It’s fairly unlikely, however the visible of Maine doing family chores is sufficient to make it value making an attempt. We’re inclined to consider he’s lower than adept at dusting, although we must see it first-hand earlier than having the ability to make a ultimate name.
7. Hyoma Chigiri (Bluelock)
Upon first assembly the reserved Hyoma Chigiri as a part of Staff Z, chances are you’ll be excused for questioning why precisely he certified as one of many hottest soccer skills within the nation.
He retains to himself for essentially the most half, brooding quietly within the nook and refusing to disclose in his strengths. As soon as he has been sufficiently motivated, nonetheless, he unshackles himself from all concern and doubt, blitzing down the pitch at a breakneck velocity.
Simply by working quick for a couple of seconds, he has already surpassed Igarashi, making a beeline straight for our hearts. He’s fairly and non-threatening, and I like that in a person. Should you’re not bought fairly but, his Japanese voice actor, Souma Saitou, was additionally the one who introduced Cranium-face Bookseller Honda-san to life — commendable and highly effective!!
6. Wakana Gojou (My Costume-Up Darling)
David Lauren as soon as stated of his father Ralph’s trend empire that it’s “not about cloth; it’s about desires.”
Wakana Gojou is a gifted younger man who understands this mindset, deftly working behind the scenes to make Marin Kitagawa’s visions turn into actuality. His eye for element and meticulous craftsmanship permits him to create some actually fantastic artworks, morphing Marin from an on a regular basis excessive schooler to a magical woman, succubus, and extra. No, it’s not bizarre; cease me like that.
Gojou is only a calming determine to have round normally, supportive and sensible past his years. He’s fairly versatile in his artisan work, having crafted Hina dolls from a younger age. Looking for a stand-up man or some gifted fingers? Get you a person who can do each.
5. Dabi (My Hero Academia)
Look, they’re not all going to be Gojous. Generally you desire a sweetheart to carry your hand and let you know all the pieces’s going to be okay. Different occasions, you desire a maniac who will burn your hand to a crisp and snarl that nothing will ever be okay. I’m not right here to kink-shame.
Ever since his debut in season 2 of My Hero Academia, Dabi has given the impression that he is aware of greater than he’s letting on. His highly effective flames may rival the harmful pressure of Shigaraki himself, and but, this sinister foe defers for essentially the most half, content material to stay on par with bumbling colleagues like Twice and Mr. Compress.
Within the newest arc, all of his intentions had been made clear, and Dabi dropped a bombshell that left the Hero neighborhood reeling. He additionally revealed that he’s a wonderful dancer, which is a crucial high quality to have in a husbando. If we had been writing a sleazy journal article (as an alternative of a sleazy web site article), we’d surmise that this dangerous boy was sizzling stuff in 2022.
4. Loid Forger (Spy x Household)
Although Agent Twilight wasn’t capable of full his mission of claiming a spot on the rostrum, he’ll be one to control shifting ahead. The person generally known as Loid Forger is strikingly good-looking, carrying an charisma that’s surpassed solely by his genius-level mind.
He’ll enter any state of affairs absolutely ready for each potential final result, whether or not it’s a daring act of espionage or a brunch with work colleagues. Really, the primary cause he didn’t rank greater on this listing of husbandos comes all the way down to the data that his entire demeanor is a entrance.
Sure, the unhappy reality is that Loid will in all probability love you and depart you, disappearing out of your life with out a lot as a farewell word. Is it well worth the eventual heartbreak for a couple of fleeting moments of thrill? That basically is determined by your disposition, although frankly, in case you survived a date with Dabi, falling in love with Loid is relatively risk-free.
3. Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Alright, we’re dishonest slightly bit on this one! 2022 was a complete agonizing yr between Jujutsu Kaisen seasons, nonetheless, its first characteristic movie, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, noticed a western launch in March. As such, Gojo-sensei makes the reduce by way of technicality. You’re in all probability not complaining anyway, however we wished to clarify our tomfoolery.
Although the film’s model of Gojo was but to determine his fabulous partnership with Yuji Itadori, he was each bit the carefree, irreverent goofball we all know and love. We had been capable of get additional perception on his previous — specifically, his rivalry with Getou — and noticed him take Yuuta Okkotsu below his wing.
The actual fact of the matter is Jujutsu Kaisen’s forged steals the present in any medium, so even lower than two hours of Gojo was sufficient for him to climb up the rankings. We’re so damned prepared for season 2 to blow us away with all of the devastating pressure of Hole Purple; we will’t contact Gojo straight, however we simply know he’ll contact our hearts all the identical.
2. Aki Hayakawa (Chainsaw Man)
The aloof Mr. High-knot was capable of stroll a advantageous line in Chainsaw Man, visibly unyielding for essentially the most half whereas additionally displaying that he had a coronary heart of gold beneath that chilly veneer.
Aki is as business-like a protagonist as you will note in anime, calling out orders and setting about any job with calculated duty. His tragic upbringing has rendered his self-care out of date, and on this method, crossing paths with Denji and Energy was maybe precisely what he wanted to heal his frayed nerves.
Alas, so far as availability for husbando duties goes, you’d greatest stop whilst you’re forward. Aki is all in regards to the job, carrying a laser focus set squarely on slaying the Gun Satan. Your greatest wager is to make a contract with some type of Love Satan, bewitching him along with your charms at the price of… a lung or one thing equally as devastating.
1. Arataka Reigen (Mob Psycho 100)
Should you polled ten individuals on whether or not Arataka Reigen would come out of this contest because the #1 husbando, you’d in all probability solely obtain one vote (from Reigen himself, carrying a intelligent disguise).
Digging slightly bit deeper into this bumbling braggart reveals a genuinely good man who makes use of his present for the gab as a method of compensating for his personal shortcomings. He’s additionally fairly fond of cash, and swindling gullible clients is a good way of lining his pockets with yen. It doesn’t harm to be enterprising, in any case.
Though Reigen’s relationship with Mob as his psychic information and non secular instructor has at all times been rooted in deception, when all appears misplaced, he’s the one one as much as the problem of setting issues proper. The true mark of a husbando isn’t essentially somebody who fights battles as a result of they count on to win however a person who fights them merely as a result of they have to be fought.
With all that being stated, I may simply be swayed to award the highest spot to God Dimple’s dummy thicc cheeks. I’m not a proud man, only one who appreciates a golden booty.
