Does anyone dislike Aoi? I can understand not liking her that much, but does anyone actually dislike her? Because Ive never heard anyone complain about her. Everyone seems to universally like her, or at least be neutral to her. Anyway, I was a bit surprised at her nomination above all other Danganronpa girls. People did a pretty good job of not nominating any of the weirder or harder-to-rank ones. I cant imagine ranking Toko, and Mikan would have a gigantic writeup that would take forever to deal with.

In terms of pure Girlfirendness, Aoi is almost untouchably high. All of the Danganronpa girls are, because they tend to have abilities that are impressive, but not something that completely overshadows you, like Mitsuru being the richest girl on Earth or waifus being omnipotent superwizards. Aoi is merely the worlds greatest swimmer. Its the difference between you and Michael Phelps; hes basically better than you in every way, but he still doesnt make your existence completely pointless by comparison. I interpret a lot of these Im the best at X skills as functionally meaning youd be in the Olympics or something, and being able to say My girlfriend is an Olympic swimming champion is basically the end of any tell me about your girlfriend lol conversations. Do you know what my sisters boyfriends do? One is a web designer, and the other is a stand-up comedian. Dropping My girlfriend is Michael Phelps into the mix would destroy them. And I guess its mentioned that just graduating from Aois high school guarantees success in life, which is good. Not even necessarily success at what you actually do, either, just general success. Mondo gets into school as the Ultimate Biker Gang Dude, and he mentions in one support that hell just become a carpenter. So, when Aoi mentions that she falls asleep in class and cant read textbooks except as a sleeping aid, its fine. Its one of the few times where a waifu having no clear career possibilities actually doesnt matter. And I mean, she also likes karaoke, which I am the worst in the world at, but also enjoy. Things are looking up, here.

It probably also helps that Aoi doesnt have a million really complicated ambitions, too. She basically just wants to do a lot of physically exhausting exercises, have a bunch of friends, and eat donuts. Ill say that, though. When I watched a LP of Danganronpa 1 after already beating the game, I did not remember Aoi loves donuts coming up so often. Im just saying, this is going to be the easiest girl in the world to buy back the affection of after you have a fight about something stupid. Flowers can be expensive, but donuts are the cheapest food after ramen.

Its hard to really talk about Aois personality without just talking about Danganronpa in general, but shes basically the perfect normal girl. Like, one who has a strong personality, but whos basically just a really good, kindhearted person whos maybe slightly stupid. Thats one thing about the first Danganronpa thats ****ing hysterical if you think about it: Byakuya figures out who the killer is in the first three cases pretty easily, then in the fourth case, he cant figure it out because he just cannot comprehend Aois extremely obvious motive of grief over her friends death, and he totally would have been killed by the second stupidest person in the building. I mean, thats a major plot point that changes the entire course of the game, so maybe its less hysterical if you think about and more the way things are meant to be interpreted, but whatever. Look, the point is, the worst you can say about Aoi is that she tried to get everyone killed because they wouldnt trust a 64 martial artist who betrayed them to the mastermind of a death game and could personally kill everyone in the building ten times over in five seconds. I guess thats actually a serious strike against her, though. I really enjoy how she gets angry at Byakuya, Toko, and Hiro, accusing them of driving Sakura to suicide, then just avoids justifying why shes also trying to kill Makoto and Kyoko besides a very vague we all have to pay.

In regards to her Attractiveness, Aoi is a fairly generic anime girl, but I do have a question: what do you call that ponytail hair spike thing she has? Is there a word for a ponytail thats always standing vertically? How does she maintain it while swimming? I am forced to assume that theres an industrial amount of hair gel being used here. Thats fine, though. Hair gels not expensive, so its fine. Hair gel, track jackets, and donuts; these are the expenses youll have to worry about with Aoi. I guess youll also need to live somewhere with an Olympic-sized swimming pool That might actually be an issue, but it didnt factor into my ranking because I didnt consider it until just now And how does she maintain such a deep tan while living inside of a windowless building for two years? Speaking of which, Aoi is the last non-pale waifu to drop, which I just realized.

I had to do some stretching to make Aois writeup this long, but heres the thing: shes basically an uncomplicated, energetic waifu who has really direct ambitions and desires. Shes a near-perfect normal girl waifu, and thats all that really needs to be said.
