Dream Con’s Top 4 Anime Characters to Invite for the Holidays

Blog

The holidays are all about good food and great company. If anime characters were on your guest list, who would make the cut? Here’s Dream Con's ultimate lineup of anime characters we’d invite to our holiday dinner — and a few we’d probably think twice about.

The Must Invite Guest

1. Sanji (One Piece)

This one is a no-brainer. You’re going to need a chef who can whip up a feast and Sanji’s skills are unmatched. There won’t be any folded and tossed plates here.

2. Deku (My Hero Academia)

Deku is the ultimate wholesome dinner guest. He’ll thank you for the invite, offer to set the table, and make a mental checklist of everyone’s quirks.

3. Guts (Berserk)

This man deserves a break, and there’s no better time than the holidays. Guts could use some good food and nice conversation after everything he’s been through. Just be sure to steer clear of talking about the Eclipse.

4. Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Every holiday dinner needs that one guest who keeps the party going — and that’s Gojo. Whether he’s rocking a Santa hat or making jokes at the kids table, he’s sure to keep the vibes light.

The Maybe Next Year List

Luffy (One Piece) & Goku (Dragon Ball)

These two are legendary heroes, but their appetites are downright terrifying. They will eat you out of house and home. Unless you have an endless buffet or a LARGE budget, it’s best to let them sit this one out.

Yuji (Jujutsu Kaisen)

While Yuji is great and an overall lovable character, supernatural trouble finds him everywhere, and dinner might end up getting interrupted by a cursed spirit battle.

With this lineup, the holiday dinner at Dream Con is sure to be unforgettable. Have a different guest list? Let us know in the comments.
