Miu is, and I mean this in the most respectful of ways possible, easily the biggest beneficiary of the rating system I devised. I could not believe how highly she placed. I still cannot believe that Miu snuck her way into the top twenty. All of the other top twenty waifus, I more-or-less expected to be around this high. Maybe not top twenty, but at least top thirty or forty. Miu would not be anywhere near this spot if I had just directly assigned ranks to waifus.

I have to believe that Miu was scientifically designed to be the perfect waifu in every way except personality. Like, someone said what if we make a waifu for this game who looks gorgeous, and has the best and most interesting skills ever, and talks about how much she wants a boyfriend and describes all of the awesome things she can build, but who is just the most unpleasant person to ever live? Miu is a funny character and all, and she makes the game better by her presence, but I would be able to tolerate her for about two minutes before I simply had to leave the room. Ive done that before, where someone just annoyed me into just ****ing off, and Miu would speedrunning that challenge like no one else.

Her personality goes beyond mere obnoxiousness and enters the realm of I could not ever be in public with this woman, even before you consider that shes wearing borderline-BDSM gear. Shes got basically three modes, which are insulting others for literally no reason, making the worst sex jokes ever, and publicly orgasming when people insult her back. This series gets weird with sex stuff a lot of the time, but Mius probably where its at its weirdest. I might honestly have been too kind with a 28 in personality, thats at least partly the result of her being the liveliest character in the game. Like, just so were clear, in the first five seconds you meet her, she calls the main characters things I cant post on GameFAQs, and she does it for no reason. Then she spends the rest of the game mocking other girls for having smaller boobs than her and being just the absolute most unbearable person on the face of the Earth. Like, when I started this list, I figured I would post an image for each Danganronpa waifu of them saying or doing something interesting from their game, because those are easy to get hold of, and every single one for Miu is not ToS-safe.

Mius ridiculously high Girlfriendness is, of course, a result of her being the Ultimate Inventor, which means that shes just the best in the world at kind of technical device or computer, and she can build basically anything, including nonsense things. Which is one of the strongest waifu powers you could possibly have. Everyone loves technology and science-oriented waifus, they're the best. Like, again, in the first five seconds you meet her, shes throwing out uncalled-for insults, but also establishing how she invented stuff that lets you eat, read, and type while you sleep, just because she thought you waste too much time unconscious. She invented million dollar-idea contact lenses on a whim. She fixes a broken supercomputer in a day, builds EMP grenades in her spare time, and just builds whatever comes to mind in a second because she's just that good. Whatever you can describe, she can build. Miu finds the worlds most advanced android and is upgrading him days later I can only imagine that with her as your waifu, youll never have to pay for a repairman for any object for the rest of your life. Your car will break, and the next day it'll be an invincible hovercar.

The problem, of course, is how she uses these abilities. Everything she builds on her own time has some kind of weird sexual element. Like, her grand plan to let a boy know she likes him is to build a machine that teleports her panties into his hands against his will, which is hilarious but also I would not be able to deal with this girl for very long. Id be able to tolerate her for about the length it takes me to write this paragraph. Maybe if shes asleep, Id be able to stand being in the same room as her, but only until she wakes up. And this isnt even the weirdest thing she builds, I could go on. Why would you build a machine that punches people for making dirty jokes if the only person you know who makes dirty jokes is yourself? Because she gets off on abuse is why. That's not even me making a joke, that's the canon reason.

And just to be super-clear, Miu is not a case of a character being cruel and mean on the outside but secretly insecure or gentle on the inside. You get two separate modes to see characters internal thoughts or secret desires, and Mius secret fantasy is to make a baby with someone in order to force him to stay with her or to wonder if someone will think her inventions are insane, which she knows they will because her inventions are always insane. She has no cute moments where she really connects with you or does something adorable because shes just nonstop the worst person youve ever met. Shes the only time Ive ever seen a story with a super-hot girl, super-smart girl whos a friendless pariah in high school, and actually believed it.

So, what it comes down to with Miu is: perfect in every way except personality, but that personality is designed to be the most unappealing, horrible thing possible. If shed had even a completely normal, boring girl personality, shed be in the top five (I checked my Excel sheet to be sure). It makes her an interesting waifu to analyze, and thanks to the flaws in my ranking system, she climbed higher than she really should have. So, yeah: more interesting to talk about than quality as an actual waifu is how Im going to describe Miu.
