My top 5 trademarks for anime characters

In a lot of different anime, a character might have something with them that sticks with them for the whole series. It can be either a piece of clouting or just some item they might carry around with them all the time. And a lot of them can be easily recognisable either to the character them self or the series they're in. I've seen a lot and liked a lot of them. And so, I'm gonna count down my top 5 favourites. And so, here it is and I hope you all like this.
5. The Millennium Puzzle (Yu-Gi-Oh!):

Starting us off at number 5 is one of the legendary Millennium Items. This one in particular not only houses the spirit of an ancient pharaoh, but also grants Yugi special powers that mainly Atem can command. It can allow them to swap from one to the other. And Atem will mainly come out when they're in a duel. And the puzzle can be used as like a necklace that Yugi always wears on a chain around his neck.
4. The Automail arm (Fullmetal Alchemist):

When it comes to Fullmetal Alchemist, the other options for this position could go to Ed's coat or his State Alchemist pocket watch, but, instead, I decided to go with his Automail arm considering it's the thing that's been with him since the beginning of the series. After the failed transmutation to bring they're mother back to life, Ed and Al's bodies were taken. Ed had to get a prosthetic arm and leg made of metal called Automail and I would say his most known one is his Automail right arm. Not only can he use it like a normal arm, but he can also use alchemy with it and can use alchemy to turn it into weapons like when he makes a small blade with it.
3. The Z Fighter's Gi (Dragon Ball)

At number 3 is the main clothes from Dragon Ball. This famous set of clothes is what Goku always wears. Not only does he wear it. but Krillan, Yamcha, and even Gohan have all worn it too. It consist of an orange shirt and pants along with blue shoes. a belt and wristbands. He they even sometimes wear a blue t-shirt underneath that can be weighted like the other blue clothing to help them train. And the look is so synonymous with Goku in particular. The symbol on the chest and back can change too depending on who he got the clothes from.
2. The Leaf Village Headband (Naruto):

Coming in close to number one is the headband worn by all Leaf Village shinobi. Every village in Naruto has a headband with that village's symbol on it and there's no doubt that the one for the Leaf Village is the most famous in the franchise. It's not even like the symbol is the most uniquely designed, but it's incredibly recognisable to the Naruto franchise that it'd be hard to find an anime fan who didn't know what this was.
Honourable mention:
Gon's rod (Hunter X Hunter):

Lostvayne (The Seven Deadly Sins):

Poké Balls (Pokémon):

Natsu's scarf (Fairy Tail):

And my number 1 favourite trademark for an anime character is... Luffy's straw hat:

And finally at number 1 is Luffy's treasure and prized possession, his Straw Hat. This is a hat that was left to him by Shanks when Luffy was seven. And he's been carrying it around with him nonstop ever since he got it. It's something Shanks told him to return to him when he became a great pirate. It's so recognisable to Luffy that that's how he got the nickname "Straw Hat Luffy", which is how everyone around the world knows him. Luffy even named his crew after it, "The Straw Hat Pirates". It's also been with him through a lot of times in his life like a whole bunch of fights or encounters. So much so that it's hard to imagine him without it or actually makes it weird to see him not wearing it. And it'll be really cool and even sad to see him depart with it if he ever properly gives it back to Shanks unless he decides to let him keep it. And all that is why Luffy's straw hat is my choice for the number 1 trademark for an anime character. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 5 trademarks for anime characters.
