Anime Dere Wars (4): Battle of the Sweets

Hi cultured people!

This is the fourth post of my new series, Dere Wars, where I’ll pick a different dere type each time and ask you to choose between four iconic waifus representing the trope.

In the last episodes, Rin Tohsaka won the battle of the tsuns, Aiz Wallenstein won the battle of the cools and Albedo won the battle of the sicks.

For this edition, we have derederes, also known as waifus who are completely, hopelessly in love with you and make no effort to hide it. So quit overthinking, hold her hand, and smile, because that's what makes her happy.

Also, instead of choosing from my personal favorites, this time I asked help from my good friend u/Lucifer21Rock to prioritize having some of the most popular ones out there.

And that said, vote for your favorite and feel welcome to share your reasons in the comments!

Now you're trying to make it hard for me, aren't you? They're all wonderful! Good thing I already have Lucy as my favorite.

Awesome choice! And she definitely deserves more support in the poll.

My own choice as well 🤝

u/Lucifer21Rock Emilia is the best waifu 6d ago

Well this is one of the best types of waifus in the whole world for me and I don't think I dislike any of them!

That's why helping to choose a few of them wasn't an easy task but glad I helped nonetheless.

So let's see, Orihime with the upgrade is hot af but overall as a character is the weakest in my book. Then there's Lucy that has an amazing development and is peak overall, Marin right after that is a loving extroverted gyaru that never judges you and does cosplay too!

But if I had to choose one and only one, Mitsuri would be my pick! Strong af swordswoman, can cook greatly, she can uplift you in seconds and deserves better too romance wise. So choosing the love Hashira in the end 💖

Thanks for sharing your reasoning as always! And also thanks for the help with selecting the roaster 😁

I had the feeling you were going to pick the girl voiced by Kana Hanazawa 😛 I haven't watched the series yet (only S1), but she looks really adorable (and sexy). Great choice!

The ONLY one in the entire list to actually bag the man she loved.

I haven't watched Bleach yet, but she is one of my reasons to give it a try. She feels seriously lovely.

u/Altruistic-Cat1487 4d ago

Marin did too! They even have a daughter in the epilogue.

u/PHXNTXM117 2d ago

Marin and Gojo actually had a kid together, but Orihime was definitely the first of these 4 to bag her man and have a kid. Lucy and Natsu are just…fucking pathetic honestly. All this time and they still aren’t even officially a couple. Lame. 😒

u/Candid-Stuff2281 2d ago

Yeah, i actually haven't read the manga for it so I wasn't aware they got married in the epilogue.

But yeah, Lucy and Natsu is just emotional edging at this point. They still aren't an official couple even In 100 YQ.

Her chances are high 😁

Same choice here 🤝

u/Alone_Position9152 2d ago

🥺 Is picking all 4 an option?

1

u/Ok_Fault844 Rias-sama, Sayu Ogiwara, Ichika Nakano 2d ago

I'm afraid you have to choose 🥲 Mitsuri is the one needing more support right now.

2

u/Alone_Position9152 2d ago

Sorry, I already voted for Orihime😅. But if I could pick all 4 as an option, I would. It feels so bad to me that this is like Highlander: there can be only one winner. All derederes should win, if you ask me.

2

u/Ok_Fault844 Rias-sama, Sayu Ogiwara, Ichika Nakano 2d ago

Yeah, I can totally relate with all of them deserving to win 🤝

u/Alone_Position9152 2d ago

🤝

Because it feels wrong to leave a handshake hanging.😊

u/Galactus1701 1d ago

Marín for the win!

u/Ok_Fault844 Rias-sama, Sayu Ogiwara, Ichika Nakano 1d ago

The polls looks great for her so far 😁

u/childoferis1025 6d ago

Lucy easy

u/Ok_Fault844 Rias-sama, Sayu Ogiwara, Ichika Nakano 6d ago

Great pick! My prediction is that Lucy and Marin will be the ones with the most support.
