Saimoe Wiki

Kurisu Makise is a character from Mages Inc. and Nitroplus's 2009 visual novel Steins;Gate. She is a redhead young genius scientist who specializes in quantum mechanics and time machines. Kurisu serves as the main love interest of protagonist Rintarou Okabe, who describes her as a tsundere, a fact that causes her annoyance which ironically just proves this attitude.

The success of both the visual novel and anime adaptation has led Kurisu to be recognized by many fans as one of the "best girls" in all of anime. As a result, she has enjoyed considerable success in this wiki's recognized major saimoe tournaments during the 2010's. Kurisu's best finish in 2channel's original Saimoe tournament was a round 3 elimination in 2011, while in Anizone's Moe tournament she placed runner-up in the final edition (2012) behind Hitagi Senjougahara. The scientist also reached the quarter-finals of the first Bilibili Moe tournament in China (2015), and later returned in its last edition (2018) where she fell in the last 16.

Makise also appears as a regular in the International Saimoe League since 2012, gaining a reputation for having a "late-bloomer" voter base who tends to show up during the last three periods. She has won 2 necklaces to date (both Diamond, last period), an exhibition gem in 2013 (Topaz, also last period), and has made the playoffs 5 straight times but has never progressed past the top 16 round.

However, all of these pale compared to her presence in r/anime subreddit, where Kurisu is long recognized as the Best Girl with four contest wins organized by its users. She was the champion of the very first (official) Best Girl contest, and later reached the final of Best Character 2, the last edition before Best Girl and Best Guy winners were banned from the tournament. Kurisu also won the first "Best of the Best tournament", the "12-Hour Best Girl", and the "2nd Couples / Ships tournament" with Okabe - all secondary tournaments.

Makise kurisu

ISML profile picture

Original link

"If Makise Kurisu were to hear about a site where people vote on how moe she is, she would immediately launch a denial of service attack on its server. And blush furiously. And deny doing it.

It is therefore for the better that Kurisu remains unaware and can concentrate on revolutionizing the world with her research. Perceptive and bright, Kurisu takes on mysteries of science that have baffled the great minds of previous generations... and solves them one by one. It is hard work, involves hours spent mulling over complex formulas and allows for little to no beauty sleep, but you get bragging rights once everything falls neatly into place. And you can wear a cool lab coat, too.

When too tired for productive thinking, Kurisu joins the anonymous hordes roaming Internet forums. More honest with herself when nobody can see what she is doing, Kurisu enjoys discussing the same rumors and theories she rejects as silly when talking in 'real life'. She is fluent in all kinds of Internet lingo and metaphors, and often perceives the world around in terms of various memes... but nobody will ever find out, right?

As much as she would like to appear perfect, Kurisu has her own weaknesses and vulnerabilities. But when somebody is needed to whip a group of good-for-nothings into saving the world, she is as good a candidate as they get.
