Welcome back to Waifu Wednesday, Niche Gamer’s column where we talk about characters, their appeal, and a little on their history.
Today’s Waifu is Utaha from Blue Archive!
Utaha is the head of the Engineering department at the Millennium Science School. Like all students, she has her own gun, but rather than fight with it she’d rather take the chance to show off her custom-built turret, the Thundergun Mk. II (Ikazuchi-chan).
When she first released, her art style wasn’t as well-received as many of the other characters, but thanks in part to some appearances in the main story alongside a cheerleader variant, many fans have grown to love Utaha. It doesn’t hurt that her cheerleader variant buffed her chest while also giving her a masculine outfit, creating a charming contrast.
It’s also her birthday today.
Happy birthday to the Millennium Science School Engineering Department's president, Utaha!
U-ta-ha! U-ta-ha! Play, play! Happy birthday! U-ta-ha! 🍰#BlueArchive pic.twitter.com/6zY3QAB2e3— BlueArchive (@EN_BlueArchive) November 13, 2024
Feel free to share who your waifu is on our Twitter or Facebook and who knows, we might feature them in a regular Waifu Wednesday post!
Blue Archive is available now on mobile devices. You can check out our review here! (as far as mobile games go, we still recommend it!) An anime series also premiered earlier this year.
