Best Girl has Blue Hair

last updated 2026 September

Conjecture.

Let G(A)G(A) denote the closed set of female characters in a series AA, defined only if there is at least one g∈G(A)g \in G(A) such that gg has blue hair.

We postulate that there is a strong positive correlation between:

  • [P][P]: gg is best girl.
  • [Q][Q]: gg has blue hair.

Intuitively, we claim that PP strongly implies QQ, and vice versa: “most best girls have blue hair, and blue hair girls are often best girl”.


Definitions

  • We use series to collectively refer to any film, animation, anime, manga, webcomic or similar visual media.
  • PP states that in the partial order of favouritism on G(A)G(A), gg is the maximal element.
  • QQ includes any shade of blue, but overwhelmingly media use darker shades of blue for hair.

Empirical Evidence

Proofs

We identify the following series to satisfy the conjecture:

  • Oshi no Ko: Akane Kurokawa, closely tailed by Ruby Hoshino.

  • Domestic Girlfriend: Rui Tachibana clears.

  • Close As Neighbours: May and it’s not even close.

  • Arcane: Caitlyn and Vi would share, but young Caitlyn is way cuter than Vi and gives her the victory.

  • Shikimori-san’s Not Just A Cutie: Kamiya is on equal footing with Shikimori.

    (In descending order of “how strongly I feel she is best girl”)

Counterexamples

However, the following series violate the conjecture:

  • Yu-Gi-Oh: ARC-V: Sora is disgusting, and there are indeed no other blue-haired girls 💔
  • Kanojo, Okarishimasu: Ruka, no thanks lmao
