I'd call Bulma and Eureka blue-haired.

I half-expected a corresponding poll of ANN readers to accompany this article.

Bulmas hair is mostly green most of the time, mostly.

A little surprised (but not disappointed) to see no Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck on this list. Maybe she's too borderline blue as well. Aqua, really.

Ah! I knew someone legitimate was missing.... Dream Hunter Rem! Ok, maybe too obscure, but she's definitely got greener hair than some on this list.

So people are retroactively calling Lum a "waifu" now...? Ugh.

Perhap's Lum's bubbly personality and cute charm would explain her strong staying power of popularity, even after decades since her debut?

How many goddamn hair colors does bulma have? She was featured on a list of blue haired characters recently and have been said to have purple hair too. Pick one. Her and two others should not be in this list.

She was coloured blue hair in the anime and turquoise in the manga. If the colour was adapted she would have the same hair colour as Trunks.

Also it should be mentioned that the blue and green historically used to be the same colour in Japan so maybe the fact that Bulma and Eureka are even in this list is due to a difference in identification.

How the Hell did C.C not win? She's by far the best green haired Waifu EVER in the history of all time. Mad

Everyone knows that if this wasn't restricted to anime/manga, Lyra Heartstrings would've won hands down.

She definitely has had purple hair too, on some of the early volume covers. Here's Volume 9's.



Considering Akira Toriyama recently colored Android 18's hair purple too (she's a blonde 99.9% of the time), I'm guessing Toriyama frankly doesn't care about hair colors that aren't black.

Pleasantly surprised to see Shiragami getting some love. Not familiar with this site, so I'm not sure what its demographics are like, but I didn't think the series was particularly popular anywhere.

There's noting that dictates that waifus can only pertain to post 2000 anime. Besides, Urusei Yatsura is responsible for a good chunk of harem anime becoming popular: all of those writers and mangaka would have grown up on it.
