There are many different types of protagonists in the "other world" genre. There have been many variations of protagonists in the other world reincarnation genre, such as those who retain memories from the past or those who acquire special abilities when reincarnated. However, in the other world reincarnation genre, where such a wide variety of characters play an active role, the world into which the protagonist reincarnates (the setting of the work) can be roughly categorized into two. One is a Western-style world set in medieval Europe, and the other is an Eastern-style world set in Asia, such as Japan during the Warring States period. Depending on which world the protagonist reincarnates into, you can roughly understand what kind of life he or she will lead, but you will not see a protagonist reincarnated from Heian period Japan to medieval Europe like in this work in any other work. Moreover, since he was originally an onmyoji, he is a character who had an extraordinary setting even before reincarnation in the other world. It is a common pattern in other world reincarnation works that the protagonist was an ordinary person before reincarnation in the other world, so you can see how special the protagonist of this work, "The Strongest Onmyoji's Other World Reincarnation Chronicle," is. Among the many protagonists of the reincarnation in another world series, this character has a particularly unique origin, so he is a character that you should definitely check out! ! This time, I would like to introduce the protagonist of this work, Sukumi, in detail before it is animated! ! For fans who are tired of ordinary reincarnation in another world works, this character is perfect, so be sure to check it out! ! !
In a previous life, he was the strongest onmyoji! !
If I had to describe the protagonist of this work, Sukumi, in one word, it would definitely be "In a previous life, he was the strongest onmyoji. The protagonist of another world." The fun of this work is contained in this one setting, so please take a closer look at this point.
Manipulating numerous shikigami
This is the result of the protagonist being reincarnated in a European-style world in the Middle Ages, but since he was originally an onmyoji, he is skilled in extremely oriental abilities such as manipulating numerous shikigami. Therefore, the story revolves around the protagonist manipulating shikigami in a European-style world that cannot be experienced in ordinary isekai reincarnation works, and the magicians around him are amazed.
Conflict with the powerful of the time
Seika was originally a powerful onmyoji, but he came into conflict with the powerful of the time and was murdered. It's a very onmyoji-like setting that he didn't die in a traffic accident, but rather because of a plot.
Driven to Death by Scheme
Seika was driven away by me through a scheme, but she managed to use her own magic to reincarnate in another world. At the beginning, she expresses her regrets, and we can see that she regrets her behavior as an onmyoji, and that the theme of this work is to use these regrets as fuel to succeed in another world.
I want to be cunning in another world! !
In his previous life, Seika lost his life by making the powerful Imperial Court his enemy, so he decided to live cunningly in another world. In the work, Seika acts carefully and unobtrusively, and his behavior is guided by his regret for his own behavior after being murdered in the past.
"Not too strong, not too weak, just a normal being"
Like in her previous life, Seika always acts carefully without being overconfident in her abilities, but on the other hand, if people think she is too incompetent, that would be troublesome in itself, so she works hard every day aiming to be a character that is on the perfect line of "not too strong, not too weak, just a normal being."
Struggling to control the amount
However, Seika, who is not familiar with the common sense of the world, fails to control the amount of his power he releases at every opportunity. This kind of development, where you think "Oh, did I do something again?", is a familiar development in other world stories. This work also depicts many "I'm so powerful!!!" scenes that are unique to other world stories, so I would like to draw attention to that as well!
Working as a dropout who can't use magic
His skills as an onmyoji are top-level achievements, but in the other world, it seems that being able to use magic is a big key. Therefore, Seika, who was born without the magical power necessary to use magic, seems to be evaluated as a "dropout" by those around him. The process of him turning this evaluation around using the unique abilities of an onmyoji is also a satisfying scene to read.
It's already a given! Still, his skills can't be hidden! !
Seika, who is able to use her skills as an onmyoji in the other world, will be able to demonstrate unparalleled power even in the other world. She is forced to face strong opponents while learning from her past life's mistakes, in which she made many enemies by showing off her skills too much.
This is a difficult situation in which she is forced to face strong opponents while learning from her past life's mistakes, in which she made many enemies by showing off her skills too much.
Cursed power, not magical power
The magic that Seika uses in particular is activated based on cursed power, not magical power. Therefore, he must deal with many strong enemies while utilizing magic that has a fundamentally different principle from the abilities used by the other characters.
Shikigami from the world of the previous life! ?
It seems that not only can she use magic, but she can also summon the spirits that stimulated her in her previous life to this world. In this way, it is safe to say that Seika can use most of the abilities she had in her previous life.
Everything is a different existence
In a world where magic is the norm, Seika has irregular abilities, but because of this, he is feared by the local people as an extremely different existence that cannot be understood on a normal scale. I would like to pay attention to the process of how the people of the other world will accept his extremely different abilities.
Pay attention to the contrast between the Western and Eastern worlds
Also, unlike typical alternate world reincarnation works, this work depicts both a Western and an Eastern world. Therefore, you can enjoy paying attention to the contrast between the characteristics and designs of each world.
Enjoy two worlds
Among the many works that exist about reincarnation in another world, the type of worldview is a very important element, but in this work, a wide variety of characters will be active in worlds with various worldviews, so it can be said that it is a work that you will never get bored of watching.
Magic power vs. cursed power! ?
In particular, there are many battles in which the two concepts of magic and cursed power, which would never normally come together, collide head-on, making full use of their respective characteristics. For fans of battle works who are bored with regular battle manga, there are many very impressive battle scenes.
Both are worlds of schemes
The world of the past and the world of the present are two opposing worlds, but what can be said about the two worlds in this work is that "both are worlds of schemes." Just like in the world of the past, Seika will be involved in many schemes in the present world, so it will be very interesting to see how she will use her past failures to get around.
What is Seika's wish? ?
Also, when Seika was reincarnated, he said, "This time for sure." I'd like to pay attention to his purpose, what he was trying to accomplish "this time" by reincarnating in another world.
Pay attention throughout the story! !
The reason for his reincarnation will be a very important theme throughout the story, so be sure to pay attention to it early on!!
Seika's points of criticism that I would like to see improved in the anime!
Although Seika has the extraordinary setting of being an onmyoji in her previous life, it is true that there are some points that are a bit nitpicky at the moment. From here, I would like to briefly introduce some of the points of criticism about Seika in the original work that I would like to see improved in the anime version.
Is she really an onmyoji? ?
The only disappointing thing is that Seika's setting as an onmyoji is only depicted in battle scenes. Onmyoji are originally people who serve the imperial court and present indicators of fortune and government at any given time based on star observations. Exterminating ayakashi is not the main focus of their activities, and is a different role from their original role. Therefore, it can be said that the fact that this work focuses solely on roles specialized for combat is a bit of a departure from the original image of an onmyoji.
Onmyoji are not just about magic
Onmyoji are not just about fighting with magic. They are also good at thinking about what they should do next based on the movement of the constellations at that time, so I hope that the anime will show them playing their original role in this area.
Summary
What did you think? This time, I introduced the main character of this work, "The Strongest Onmyoji's Reincarnation in Another World." He was a character with a special setting that is rarely seen in ordinary reincarnation works, as he was an onmyoji in his previous life. Therefore, it is a work that depicts a completely new approach to battle scenes that are not seen in the original work, so please pay attention to the story structure of this work along with the main character Seika.
