| It's complicated. There's 3 definitions that float around that people mean, but it really depends on who you're talking to. 1 - Some use it to mean Favorite character. THe one they like most. 2 - The character they'd marry if they were real, maybe a crush. 3 - They genuinely love this character as a romantic partner and have feeling for them. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |

| ^ ^ as Blockernator said there's various different reasons people have Waifus for. For me I guess it's more than a favourite character, I genuinely feel happy when I see them on screen, and I get comfort from them (but I do also with other things too). Their definitely not people I'd marry because quite frankly their horrible people, but there's still something that I like about them that I can't easily explain. |

| it is just another cringe self created word by anime hopeless tryhard fans, which means wife in english. It is just the english pronunciation of the word in japanese accent, like tokyo revengers s..tokyo rebenjazu...blue lock is buru rokku |
You all have to undrestand that Chainsaw man is impossible to adapt without CG. |

| Well it's most basic explanation is a female character that you'd wife, if they were real. I don't really have one personally, even though I do have some female Anime characters I really love. Case in point: Shinobu Oshino  Nana Osaki (On the right)  Nana "Hachi" Komatsu (On the left)  There's also the male equivalent which is called a "husbando" |

| I call my Bike my waifu so yeah, you call your favourite person or thing waifu. I always called my bike waifu. |
| 2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| Waifu to me is a female character that is your favorite, but also see as a ideal spouse thus the term waifu. |

| I don't want to know anymore. Thinking about it makes me feel sad that I want that far down anime nerdom. ...though I'm probably still down in Blighttown. |

FacelessVixen said: I don't want to know anymore. Thinking about it makes me feel sad that I want that far down anime nerdom. ...though I'm probably still down in Blighttown. Is it really so strange that someone might feel an emotional attachment to an anime character? Besides, it's a meme. I think at least 80% of the time when people say "waifu" they're just messing around. |

| Waifu literally translates to wife from Japanese to english. |

| A waifu is someone who will lead you down a dangerous path in life. |
| My waifus are the best girls of the shows I have and am watching. That's how I see it. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| A female anime character that you want to get laid by. That's my definition. |
| I think waifus don't necessarily means I'd marry her in real life. There's a lot of people who hate tsundere irl but have a lot waifus with this trait. If I have to give a definition, is just a female anime character that made you attracted to her regardless if there's a rational reason or not. |

| I think a waifu is a character that you develop romantic feelings for or strongly admire. You might also respect the character and feel like you care for that character's well-being/ feelings. |
