We start with an excellent example of an Aquarius, Ougai Mori. This head of the Port Mafia exudes forward-thinking and creativity that allows his crime syndicate to flourish. Cunning and perfectionism drive the mafia into performing everything they accomplish in style. This doctor-mafioso has the drive to have a skilled group of hell-raisers working for him, always ready for their next assignment. Ougai is a leader that is usually well-measured with his emotions, but when his temper flares, a monstrous side of himself awakens.

Next up is Ban, from the Seven Deadly Sins! Though he was born under the sign of Aquarius, he will never have an astrological sign to die under, because Ban is immortal. After drinking from the Fountain of Youth, Ban became unable to die. This fighter will come back for more regardless of limb or blood loss. Ban is shrewd in his fighting style and finds ways to incorporate his inability to die when fighting stronger opponents. Though this fighter and excellent cook can be a fierce friend, Ban has no sympathy for others once his anger is activated.

Byakuya is up next! This anime is old, but the characters are still excellent, even by today’s standards. Byakuya is the older brother of Rukia. He is a results-oriented person who expects precision and perfection. His resolve to do what he decides is unmatched. He is the head of a noble household, and he brings his name no dishonor. He is high-functioning, intelligent, and independent. This Aquarius comes in at number three on this list!

Don’t forget to check out the upcoming Thousand-Year Blood War. It is the first new addition to Bleach in years!

When it comes to his goals, Tetta Kisaki does not play around. This Aquarius is a new character, as Tokyo Revengers was released in 2021. Kisaki is exceptionally intelligent and is someone with a master plan. He is calculating, goal-oriented, and doesn’t let a little thing like death or destruction stand in his way. Though he is not physically the strongest, his charisma and unusual background influencing abilities go a long way. He has been in multiple gangs and is so individualistic that he has no bond with them. They are the people he needs to get where he wants to be.

And our favorite anime guy with an Aquarius sign is Giyu from Demon Slayer! When Tanjirou and Giyu first meet, for some reason, this hashira DOES NOT KILL THE DEMON in front of him, Nezuko. It works out for the best that Nezuko lives, but only a very independently-thinking person would consider doing something like this. His swordsmanship in the water-breathing style results from the perfectionism that this zodiac sign often exudes. He slays and takes names with all the strength that his hashira status would suggest. Soft-spoken and guarded, Giyu is our favorite Aquarius guy in anime this time around.

Spain is much more upbeat than the others on this list. As one of the older nations, he is constantly picked on for being beaten by his younger counterparts. He remains in good spirits despite the hardships that he has endured. He lacks the Aquarius trait that allows him to be sensitive to others emotions and often babbles insensitive comments without thinking to the other countries. However, he dreams of a better world where everyone is at peace and remains a cheerful and uncharacteristically out-spoken Aquarius.

As the second top in command at Shiko Academy, Urie is a powerful devil under the control of Rem Kaginuki. Although he is very outgoing, he likes to be intellectually stimulated and is easily bored. By luring Ritsuka out, he is able to antagonize Rem and create discord among the student council. Urie likes to create chaos and call the fellow student council members out when they are being irrational. By being one of the most rational people, he is able to see the others clearly and not be thwarted by his emotions. His unwavering intellect and ability to see through others, even in dire situations is what makes him one of our top Aquarius.

Hiyori is brutally honest and outspoken despite him being a very introverted character. All of his insults are part of an intellectual battle which allows him to be mentally stimulated. He wishes for no one to harm Ikuya and is very protective of his friends. Hiyori means no harm to those around him and just wishes to protect those who are close to him. He is an admirable character who is known for his loyalty which allows him to earn a spot on our list.

Saito is a very quiet person who is observant of the world around him. He is a good listener and fights for what he believes in with unwavering loyalty. He obeys every order without question and seeks to promote his cause to the Japanese people around them. He fights for a better world and while he is an admirable fighter, we also see him open up and display a more compassionate side. At first, this steely cold man seems almost cruel, but as we see the layers peel back, he is displayed as an admirable Aquarius with the world’s best interests in mind.

Izuna seeks only to protect his clan. As a fearsome warrior, Izuna is cool headed and keeps the best interests of his clan at heart. While he prefers fighting in war, he is no stranger to intellectual challenges either. In war he can be uncompromising when it comes to fighting his enemies but is always there when needed by his clan or his friends. He is an admirable Aquarius but also shows the flaws that are typical in an Aquarius. Izuna is both unwavering and independent. He puts a lot of faith into those around him but is not afraid to stand up for what is right.

Nishiki is an excellent example of what happens when the negative aspects of an Aquarius are all combined and are at the forefront of who they are as a character. Initially seen as stuck up and rude, he seeks to be independent and hates to obey rules. However, his character improves when he is almost killed by Ken Kaneki and he grows closer to his girlfriend, Kimi. He grows into a kinder character who keenly observes the world around him. Although Nishiki does display negative aspects at the beginning of Tokyo Ghoul, he soon learns from his experiences as a ghoul and becomes a more lovable character.

In his human days, Kirihito Mori was a character that was shy and considerate. After suffering an unfortunate snowboarding accident, he had the most ill-fated encounter. With the powerful Akura-Ou using his body as a tether to the human world, his personality changed dramatically. However, even when Akura-Ou was in Kirihito’s body, he still displayed traits of an Aquarius. He was more mean and selfish but he was also quiet and contemplative. Both spirits that used this body had traits of the Aquarius and are able to show us the stark contrast between a good and evil Aquarius.

As a stiff but silent leader, Eld Jinn was productive and strong. He seeked to know the why behind Eren turning into a titan rather than outright despising him like many of the other squad members. Handpicked by Levi Ackerman, it is easy to see the similarities between them. They are both aloof and rarely show emotion. However, they see what the right path is and fight for it until their last breath. This unwavering devotion makes Eld a true Aquarius and puts him towards the top of our list.

With a side job as a monk, Houshou Takigawa has a pretty good handle on his emotions. He is able to maintain his intellectual stimulation by being a creator through his music. He is a teacher and often councils Mei on how to deal with spirits. He is very powerful and unyielding in his actions. However, he is not proud and is always around to help when needed. He fights to help others even when he wants to distance himself from the temple. He is an ideal Aquarius because of these personality traits. His ability to give himself 110% to a cause in both body and mind is part of what earns him a spot towards the top of our list.

Soo-wan is a difficult character to place. He murders his king in order to take the throne for the good of his country. He has the well-being of the world in mind when doing this even though it will destroy his relationship with Yona. He is soft-spoken and somewhat shy in appearances even though, behind it all lies a powerful agenda. Soo-wan is progressive in his actions and seeks to be the best ruler that he can, not minding that he steps on a few toes. These qualities put him at the top of our list.
