Day 7 of Niji Nights: Characters of Color in Anime Part 5

Welcome to the last night of Niji Nights 2024 our PRIDE event here on We be Bloggin’! There’s no time like the present to appreciate when creators add characters of color to their works of art!

Soma

(Black Butler)

He’s filled with energy and loves to annoy his uptight cousin, Ciel.

Leo De La Iglesia

Yuri on Ice!!!

He’s an ice skater that works hard by studying hard and practicing hard so naturally he’s very tired off the ice.

Seychelles

Hetalia Axias Powers

She’s very cute and kind, and apparently shows up more in the manga.

Ruth

Magus Bride

One of the best faithful companions and my personal favorite character from the show. He’s always ready to rumble and protect the ones he loves.

Neiru

Wonder Egg Priority

Comes off snobby with an incredibly hard upbringing and a soft heart.

Naomi Orthmann

Metallic Rouge

She’s not quite human but she’s a great partner in crime. She’s sassy, blunt and real.

Nurugai

Hell’s Paradise

Honestly, I have no idea where their tribe is from… But that is all I can say without giving anything away. Circumstances suck and they did their best to survive.

Usagiyama Rumi

My Hero Academia

-insert ufc announcer voice here-People love her, one of the most cosplayed female characters from the show, she’s a Bunny and a mountain, a female Deku… USAGIYAMA RUMI! (But seriously though, I don’t know how I feel about her name…)

Suletta

Gundam: Witch from Mercury

SO she has a cute and bubbly personality but is one of the most dangerous pilots in the Gundam fleet.

Simon Brehznev

Durarara!!

He’s from the Russian gang and is the strongest dude in Ikebukuro and honestly a genuinely nice guy.

If you like this line up you can check out past years blogs, part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4. Hope you enjoyed this year of Niji Nights.

  1. I loved your choices here! It was especially nice to see Nurugai and Naomi.

    Small correction: “Guth” should be “Ruth” from Ancient Magus Bride. (I’ve also seen it spelled Rutz, but Crunchyroll spells it Ruth).

    1. I try to add newer characters into the posts but for the first few years I felt it was important to address some of the more popular and fan favorites haha. Personally, I love Nurugai and Naomi they are my top favs from the series.

      Oh. nice catch! Thank you! It was an honest typo! Although I had to check myself though, sometimes translations do always sound or appear the way I think they do haha. But you 100% correct.
