The series "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent," which began airing in April, features many fascinating characters. The main character, Sei, is not a particularly proactive character, which makes the other characters even more compelling. This time, we'll briefly introduce the main character, Sei, as well as Aira, who was reincarnated with Sei, and the people of the kingdom to which he was reincarnated. Please use this as a preview before enjoying the anime.
Sei Takanashi
The main character of this series. Originally an office worker living in Japan, she is reincarnated in another world as a "saint" due to a series of unexpected events. At first, Sei was angry at the kingdom's treatment and even considered leaving, but he gradually adapted to his new environment and began living in the other world as a member of the kingdom.
Strongest Stats
High stats are becoming commonplace in isekai stories, but Sei seems to possess exceptionally high stats in the other world. In the kingdom, Sei's stats were so high that not a single character could measure up to his level. Sei's character position is excellent, as he skillfully follows the commonplace principles of all isekai stories.
Specialized in Healing
Sei has such powerful stats, but as a "Saint," she seems to specialize in healing. While there are many stories of characters reincarnated into another world with powerful stats, isn't it quite novel that most of their abilities are specialized in support?
Sei's Character Design
While the characters in this work contain many of the tropes of previous "isekai reincarnation" stories, they also cleverly break these conventions.
Changing the World with Cooking and Beauty
Sei, the protagonist of this work, generally does not openly participate in combat. Instead, in this work, Sei makes a major impact on the world through cooking and beauty. Using Japanese cooking recipes, medical knowledge, and beauty product knowledge, Sei explains and popularizes numerous products in another world, which is perhaps one of the interesting aspects of this work as an alternative world setting.
Aira Misono
Aira is a character who was reincarnated into another world along with Sei. According to Sei, she's a "cute, laid-back girl," and when she was first reincarnated, she was led around by the prince, leaving Sei completely out of her mind. It seems that Aira is the one who's popular with men.
Good friends with Sei
However, despite these differences, the two are both originally from Japan, and as such, they maintain a close friendship. To Sei, they seem to be like good friends from the same hometown.
Magical Talent
Having been summoned from Japan as a "Saint," Aira's magical talent seems to surpass that of other characters. However, Sei's abilities seem incomparably superior, making her a pitiful character whose magical abilities are overshadowed in many ways.
Looking forward to her future success
Having the same Japanese roots as Sei, Aira has great potential, but so far she hasn't made much of a difference. While Sei's performance may be a little too impressive, I'm sure the time will come for her to shine even more, so I'm looking forward to that.
Albert Hawk
He is the commander of the Third Knights of the Kingdom of Surantania. At the beginning of the story, he is seriously injured and saved by Sei, and he develops feelings for her. Although Hawk is also known as the "Ice Knight," he often acts softly in front of Sei, and this contrast has earned him many fans.
The hero of this work?
If the protagonist, Sei, is the heroine, then Hawk is undoubtedly the hero. He puts his body on the line for Sei in every situation, whether it's supporting the heroine or assisting her in unfamiliar palace ceremonies. Alberto Hawk is that kind of "capable man."
The date with Sei is a must-see
The most noteworthy episode featuring Hawk and Sei is their date. This episode features subtle scenes of Hawk, who is usually feared as the "Ice Knight," showing affection for Sei, and is enjoyable alongside scenes of the shy Sei becoming flustered by this.
Johan Waldeck
He is the director of the Medicinal Plant Research Institute in the Kingdom of Surantania. In the story, the Medicinal Plant Research Institute appears as the only place where Sei can find peace after losing his place in the royal palace, and Johan, the director of the Medicinal Plant Research Institute, plays a very important role. In the story, he plays a father-like role to Sei in the other world.
He was actually of high social status!?
Johan, one of Sei's few people who understands him, is revealed to be of quite high social standing. Despite his high social standing, he works in a quiet environment like a research lab because Johan himself is fed up with the murky society of aristocrats.
Why Sei and Horses Are a Good Match
Perhaps it was this background that made Sei, who was fed up with life at the royal palace, such a good match for horses.
Jude
He is also a researcher at the Medicinal Plant Research Institute in the Kingdom of Surantania. While the director, Johan, plays the role of Sei's father in the story, Jude can be said to play the role of Sei's childhood friend. He is someone who becomes close with Sei from quite early on in the story.
Some unfortunate aspects...
Jude is Sei's childhood friend, but as the story progresses, his somewhat unfortunate aspects become more apparent. Despite his feelings for Sei, his rival is none other than Hawk, the "Ice Knight." To top it off, Sei is completely unaware of Jude's feelings. Jude's unfortunate aspects are clearly evident.
Yuri Drevez
Yuri serves as the vice-commander of the Royal Mage Division of the Kingdom of Surantania. After summoning the Saint, he falls into a long slumber as a reaction. He doesn't appear for a while, but he awakens midway through the story and becomes involved with Sei.
Assessing a Person's Level
Yuri's ability is to assess the level of others. In the other world, there is a concept called level, which is used to measure a person's ability, but this level is not visible to others. However, there is someone who can assess this level, and that person is Yuri.
Even Yuri can't measure Sei
Even Yuri, the only person capable of assessing the level of others, was unable to measure Sei's level. This is likely because Sei's level surpasses even that of Yuri, the vice-commander of the Royal Court Magic Division of the Kingdom of Surantania.
Could this be the reason why rumors about Sei are spreading?!
Yuri is a highly respected figure in the Kingdom of Slantania, and this fact will have an impact on many characters.
Siegfried Slantania
King of the Kingdom of Slantania. He was concerned about the rudeness his own son showed towards Sei when Sei was reincarnated, and is a man who cares about Sei in every situation. As a king, he is a man of great character and takes care to give Sei special treatment, but from Sei's perspective, this often ends up making him nervous.
Elizabeth Ashley (Rizu)
She is the daughter of a marquis in the Kingdom of Slantania. She was engaged to Kyle Slantania, the first prince of the Slantania royal family, but Kyle's obsession with Ayla caused a rift in their relationship.
Focus on her interactions with Sei
Perhaps because they are close in age, Sei and Sei interact quite frequently. They often discuss romance, and they can be considered close classmates in a school setting.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we've introduced the characters appearing in "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent." I never imagined that such unique characters could emerge from a reincarnation-themed work, a genre many people regularly watch, simply by switching to a female perspective. Be sure to check out Sei and the others in action in the anime!
