Rem (Re:Zero)

Rem is a supporting character from Tappei Nagatsuki's isekai web / light novel Re:Zero. She is a one-horned oni and the blue-haired twin sister of Ram, and serves as one of the housemaids of Roswaal's mansion.

Rem became a breakout character in the fandom because of her moment in the anime's season 1 episode 18, which cemented her progress from being Subaru Natsuki's murderer to becoming his most devoted lover. In the episode, she confesses her feelings in painstaking detail to a despairing Subaru, who just wants to give up and run away. Although he "rejects" her afterwards by saying "he loves Emilia" to her face (which she accepts anyway), Rem's inspiring speech succeeded in convincing him to "start over from zero", face his problems, and strive towards becoming the greatest hero that she has ever seen. Since that episode, the blue oni has experienced a dramatic rise in popularity and fan arts, to the point of overshadowing the novel's designated main heroine.

In the context of saimoe tournaments, Rem is undeniably the most successful waifu EVER, due to her sheer record-setting number of over 100 contest victories (recognized by this wiki's editors) as of this time of writing, and shows no signs of stopping soon. For reference, her closest competitor and fellow "G.O.A.T" candidate, Mikoto Misaka, has won barely half of that amount. Furthermore, Rem also holds a special distinction for being the only girl to win Bilibili Moe (in 2016), the International Saimoe League (in 2018), and /r/anime's Best Girl Contest (in 2018) - three of the biggest character tounaments in terms of voter turnout at the time. She also won the Korean Aniplus tournament in 2016 (considered the nominal successor of Anizone saimoe), and has consistently made the final rounds in subsequent appearances.
