Who wears the waifu crown of Orb?

Of the two prominent eligible characters, Jolenta and Draka, which do you find more likely to top or rank higher among the "waifu" list of characters from their season or their year?

It's uncertain how much either will catch on in popularity and recognition outside of the fanbase of the show (and original manga) itself. Do you have a strong personal preference? Is it a preference based on a vague wishy-washy romanticism or rooted in firm scientific principles?

On one hand this doesn't really seem like that kind of show, but...

It feels wrong for a show like this to have these discussions about waifus.

I voted for Jolenta because she eventually reached her 30s, but both she & Draka spend (most/all of) their arcs as children.

Meanwhile, there's Badeni, who would make a terrible wife, but is clearly the series waifu.

@assignedgengar Ahah I don´t care about this discussion, but now I hope Badeni wins.

Not every anime needs to have waifus. I honestly loved how Orb didn't sexualize or romanticise either Jolenta or Draka, while still having them be important and well fleshed out characters.

Don't know how someone can watch this anime, understand its story and meaning, and have the word "waifu" cross their mind for even 2 seconds during it. As an astronomer myself and someone who has been persecuted by my native religion due to my scientific beliefs, this anime really tugged on my heartstrings.

Also, it's kinda messed up that even in such a story people will find a way to turn female characters into romantic/sexual subjects -_-

That said, I agree with everyone saying Badeni. Badeni was really fine. And ngl at the very start Nowak too, I really expected him to have a redemption arc after Jolenta got "burnt for heresy" in his pov.

Where there's a will there's a way. Or as they say in Jurassic Park, "life finds a way" or something to that effect. One of those. Nah, it's just something amusing to think about, particularly because it's so obviously counterintuitive to a series like this. But technically, it's an anime series like any other. I don't want to see its characters excluded from the running even against those from that multitude of tacky and dime a dozen romcom and harem shows out there. Especially because some individuals might genuinely find intelligence, academic curiosity, and grit more attractive than large breasts or cute fangs.

She'd definitely handle the budget and finances in your relationship, but you overspend for the month and your balls are going into that satchel alongside those bloodied coins.
