From Chainsaw Man to unexpected indie gems, here are the anime characters dominating Discord profiles right now.
Anime and Discord go together like pizza and energy drinks. But trends change fast. Using a 2018 Naruto screeching icon? A bit outdated. Here is what's actually trending in 2026.
Look, Denji and Power are eternal. But in 2026, we're seeing more dark aesthetic edits from the later manga arcs. High contrast, black and white manga panels are huge right now.
Get Chainsaw Man PFPs →Even years later, Gojo's eyes are the most recognized symbol on Discord. The trend now is "glitch" or "VHS" style edits of these characters.
Anya Forger remains the queen of reaction images. Using an Anya PFP tells everyone "I'm chaotic but wholesome". Her exaggerated expressions make for incredibly expressive reaction GIFs and static PFPs alike.
The Gear 5 transformation gave One Piece a visual identity that's impossible to ignore. The cartoonish, rubbery white-haired Luffy design is unlike anything else in anime — it reads as instantly "fun" and chaotic in any server. Perfect if you want to signal that you're here for a good time.
Berserk never goes out of style. A Guts PFP — especially the Black Swordsman silhouette or a high-contrast manga panel — communicates a specific brand of grit and perseverance. It's the PFP of someone who has been through it, and is still standing. Highly respected in gaming communities.
Blue Lock exploded in popularity with competitive gamers because its entire premise is about ruthless individual excellence — the perfect energy for a ranked grind. Isagi's focused, calculating expression (especially with the "spatial awareness" aura) screams "I'm a predator in this lobby." A top pick for any serious FPS or MOBA player.
Demon Slayer's water and flame breathing visualizations are some of the most beautiful animation sequences in modern anime — and they translate spectacularly to profile pictures. Tanjiro's calm, determined face is great for a "serious but kind" vibe. Nezuko in her box is the go-to for "adorable but dangerous."
Studio Trigger's Cyberpunk Edgerunners gave the Cyberpunk franchise a soul. David's neon-drenched, high-contrast aesthetic is perfect for dark mode Discord. The show's color palette (electric blue, chrome, night-city orange) creates stunning PFPs that feel both futuristic and deeply human. Still going strong years after release.
Frieren emerged as the "prestige anime" of recent seasons and quickly became a darling of the more refined Discord communities. Her thousand-yard stare and silver hair create a minimalist, hauntingly beautiful aesthetic. Using a Frieren PFP signals: "I have good taste and I am slightly emotionally unavailable." Very on-brand for 2026.
Dungeon Meshi was the breakout hit that even non-anime viewers got hooked on. Marcille's expressive (usually horrified) reactions are meme gold, while Laios's earnest foodie energy makes for a wholesome, disarming PFP. The show's warm, storybook color palette works beautifully as a profile picture for anyone who wants to seem approachable and fun.
The best PFP isn't just the coolest image — it's the one that accurately represents your personality in a server. Ask yourself: what vibe do I want to project? "Competitive and focused" (Blue Lock, JJK)? "Wholesome chaos" (Spy x Family, One Piece)? "Deep cuts only" (Berserk, Frieren)? Your PFP is the first thing people see, so make it intentional.
