SMASH or PASS ANIME 😍🤮 MALE EDITION 🙍‍♂️ [ 100 BEST HUSBANDOS IN ANIME] Part 2

Konnichiwa, Anime Lovers! Welcome back to my ultimate Husbando showdown! If you survived the first round of devastatingly handsome anime men, prepare yourself because Part 2 is about to drop a whole new level of ikemen goodness! As a devoted admirer of all things beautiful and stylish, especially when infused with that unique Japanese aesthetic, I'm thrilled to continue this exciting (and slightly embarrassing) journey through the world of anime husbandos. Remember, we're not just judging looks here; we're considering personality, character design, and overall appeal – the whole package that makes us swoon! So grab your green tea, settle in, and let's dive into another 20 potential heartthrobs for our SMASH or PASS consideration!

Last time, we explored some truly memorable characters. We had stoic swordsmen, charming princes, and even a mischievous fox spirit! The debates were passionate, the opinions strong, and the love for anime husbandos was palpable. I'm expecting no less this time around!

Before we start, let's quickly recap the rules of the game:

The Rules of the Husbando Game:

a. SMASH: You'd gladly welcome this character into your life, build a shrine in their honor, and dedicate all your free time to rewatching their best moments.

b. PASS: While you might appreciate their character design or role in their respective anime, they just don't quite spark that "husbando" feeling within you.

Remember, these are just my humble opinions! Feel free to agree or disagree, and definitely let me know your own SMASH or PASS choices in the comments below. Let's get the discussion going!

Round 2: More Husbandos to Admire (or Politely Decline)

Okay, let's get right to it! Prepare yourselves for another wave of anime eye candy!

21. Shinya Kogami (Psycho-Pass):

Ah, Kogami. The brooding, morally ambiguous detective with a tragic past. His sharp features, intense gaze, and unwavering dedication to justice (however flawed) definitely make him a captivating character. The dark, cyberpunk aesthetic of Psycho-Pass only adds to his mystique. From a design perspective, his understated, practical clothing suits his personality perfectly. But, can we handle the emotional baggage?

My Verdict: SMASH. His complexities make him endlessly interesting. Plus, who doesn't love a good anti-hero?

22. L Lawliet (Death Note):

L. The quirky genius detective who sits with his knees pulled up to his chest and has a sweet tooth that rivals a toddler. His eccentric personality and unparalleled intellect are undeniably attractive. While his fashion sense might be questionable (those baggy jeans!), his brilliance shines through. He embodies a unique kind of cool that's hard to resist.

My Verdict: SMASH. He's undeniably charming, and I admire his dedication to solving the unsolvable. Just maybe, we can get him some new clothes...

23. Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan):

Captain Levi. Humanity's strongest soldier. Need I say more? His stoic demeanor, exceptional combat skills, and surprisingly clean-freak tendencies make him an incredibly compelling character. The stark contrast between his small stature and immense power is a fascinating dynamic. His design is simple but effective – practical gear that speaks volumes about his role and personality.

My Verdict: SMASH. His strength and unwavering resolve are incredibly admirable. Plus, I could definitely use some help keeping my apartment spotless!

24. Gintoki Sakata (Gintama):

Gintoki, the lovable slacker samurai who runs the Yorozuya Odd Jobs service. He's lazy, sarcastic, and perpetually broke, but he also possesses a strong sense of justice and a hidden depth of character. His silver perm is iconic, and his wooden sword (Toyako Bokuto) is always ready for action (or a nap). He perfectly embodies the "cool and quirky" archetype.

My Verdict: SMASH. He's hilarious, surprisingly wise, and always there for his friends. His imperfections make him relatable and endearing.

25. Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom):

Karma. The mischievous, sadistic, and incredibly intelligent student from Class 3-E. His red hair, sharp eyes, and playful smirk hint at the chaos that lies beneath the surface. He's a master strategist and enjoys pushing people's buttons. He represents a darker, more rebellious side of husbando potential.

My Verdict: PASS. While I appreciate his intelligence, his sadistic tendencies are a bit too much for me. I prefer my husbandos a little less... stabby.

26. Tamaki Suoh (Ouran High School Host Club):

The "King" of the Ouran Host Club. Tamaki is flamboyant, theatrical, and incredibly dramatic. He's also hopelessly romantic and deeply cares about his friends. His blond hair, sparkling eyes, and princely demeanor are classic shojo husbando traits. He's designed to be the epitome of a charming and romantic lead.

My Verdict: PASS. While I appreciate his enthusiasm, he's a bit too over-the-top for my taste. I prefer a more subtle kind of charm.

27. Yuri Katsuki (Yuri!!! on Ice):

Yuri, the talented but insecure figure skater who rediscovers his passion for the sport with the help of his idol, Victor Nikiforov. He's kind, shy, and incredibly dedicated. His design evolves throughout the series as he gains confidence, reflecting his inner growth. He's a relatable and inspiring character.

My Verdict: SMASH. His genuine personality and determination are incredibly appealing. Plus, his skating is breathtakingly beautiful!

28. Victor Nikiforov (Yuri!!! on Ice):

Speaking of Victor, the legendary figure skater and Yuri's coach and eventual partner. He's charismatic, playful, and incredibly talented. His silver hair, striking blue eyes, and dazzling smile make him the ultimate ice prince. His confidence and passion are infectious.

My Verdict: SMASH. His charisma is undeniable, and his dedication to Yuri is incredibly heartwarming. A true champion in every sense of the word!

29. Kakashi Hatake (Naruto):

Kakashi, the enigmatic and highly skilled ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village. He's known for his laid-back attitude, love of reading, and the mysterious mask that covers most of his face. His calm demeanor and hidden depths make him an intriguing character.

My Verdict: SMASH. The mystery! The skill! The hidden face reveal! He's got it all. Plus, I admire his dedication to his students.

30. Itachi Uchiha (Naruto):

Itachi, the tragic hero of the Uchiha clan. He's a complex and conflicted character who sacrificed everything for the sake of his village and his younger brother. His stoic demeanor and haunted eyes speak volumes about the burden he carries.

My Verdict: SMASH. His sacrifice and unwavering love for his brother make him an incredibly compelling character. A true hero, despite the circumstances.

31. Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood):

The Flame Alchemist. Roy Mustang is ambitious, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to his subordinates. His goal is to become Fuhrer and change the country for the better. His confidence and strategic mind make him a formidable leader.

My Verdict: SMASH. His ambition and loyalty are admirable, and his flame alchemy is undeniably cool. Just try not to rain on his parade!

32. Greed (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood):

Greed, the homunculus who embodies the sin of greed. He's rebellious, charismatic, and surprisingly honorable. He desires everything but ultimately learns the importance of friendship and loyalty. His design is striking, with his sharp teeth and confident swagger.

My Verdict: SMASH. His surprisingly honorable nature and his character development make him a very appealing husbando.

33. Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler):

Sebastian, the demon butler of the Phantomhive household. He's elegant, efficient, and incredibly skilled in combat. He's also fiercely loyal to his master, Ciel. His charm and impeccable manners hide a dark and dangerous nature.

My Verdict: SMASH. His elegance, skill, and dedication are undeniably attractive. Just don't make a deal with him!

34. Dazai Osamu (Bungo Stray Dogs):

Dazai, the suicidal maniac and brilliant detective from the Armed Detective Agency. He's playful, enigmatic, and incredibly intelligent. He's obsessed with finding a perfect way to die but also deeply cares about his friends and colleagues.

My Verdict: SMASH. His wit, intelligence, and surprising loyalty make him incredibly charming. Just try to keep him away from the river!

35. Atsushi Nakajima (Bungo Stray Dogs):

Atsushi, the kind-hearted and insecure member of the Armed Detective Agency, gifted with the ability to transform into a tiger. He struggles with his past but is determined to protect those he cares about. His gentle nature and unwavering resolve are truly inspiring.

My Verdict: SMASH. His kind heart and pure spirit make him an adorable husbando candidate. We need to protect him!

36. Akihito Kanbara (Beyond the Boundary):

Akihito, the half-youmu with an incurable fetish for girls in glasses. He's kind, caring, and always willing to help others, even if it means putting himself in danger. His quirky personality and unwavering optimism are endearing.

My Verdict: PASS. The glasses fetish is a bit... specific. I appreciate his kindness, but he's not quite husbando material for me.

37. Howl (Howl's Moving Castle):

Howl, the flamboyant and powerful wizard who lives in a magical moving castle. He's vain, dramatic, and initially appears selfish, but he possesses a kind heart and a hidden vulnerability. His ever-changing hair color and extravagant clothing make him a visually stunning character.

My Verdict: SMASH. The mystery and the magic! He is the embodiment of pure charisma and charm.

38. Ashitaka (Princess Mononoke):

Ashitaka, the noble and courageous prince who is cursed after defending his village from a corrupted boar god. He travels to find a cure and becomes entangled in the conflict between humans and the forest spirits. His compassion and unwavering commitment to peace are incredibly admirable.

My Verdict: SMASH. His strength, compassion, and dedication to peace make him a truly inspiring figure.

39. Zen Wistalia (Snow White with the Red Hair):

Zen, the second prince of Clarines, who is kind, intelligent, and skilled with a sword. He's also surprisingly down-to-earth and enjoys exploring his kingdom. His strong sense of justice and unwavering loyalty make him a reliable and trustworthy character.

My Verdict: SMASH. He is a literal prince but also so very down-to-earth and kind. The ultimate package!.

40. Hawks (My Hero Academia):

Hawks, the pro hero known for his laid-back attitude and incredible speed. He's tasked with infiltrating the League of Villains, and he navigates the dangerous situation with cunning and skill. His wings and strategic mind make him a formidable hero.

My Verdict: SMASH. His dual nature and his dedication to keeping everyone safe makes him a very worthy husbando choice!
