The anime adaptation of the light novel "Gods Hungry for Games," which depicts the exploits of the protagonists as they take on a game known as "Gods' Game," is scheduled to begin airing this April. The work has received high praise from celebrities such as writers, gamers, and YouTubers, and is gaining attention ahead of its broadcast. The story features the protagonist, Fei, and the main heroine, Leoreshe. In this article, we'd like to introduce the two characters and their relationship as background information before you watch the anime!
Story Summary
"The Game of the Gods" is the ultimate brain game created by a god with too much free time on his hands. It's said that if humanity wins the game 10 times, any wish will be granted. However, due to its high difficulty, no one has yet achieved this feat. Meanwhile, our protagonist, Faye, a promising newcomer, challenges the "Game of the Gods" alongside the former god, Leshe. With a girl named Pearl joining the team, the battle of wits with the gods begins.
Fay Theo Ferus
The protagonist of this work is a boy who loves games. He is usually called Fay. In the extremely difficult Game of the Gods, he has a record of 3 wins and 0 losses. Due to his excellent performance, he is nicknamed the "best rookie." His love of games began when he met a certain woman long ago. Fay calls this woman his "red-haired sister." They played games together as children, and that's what made him fall in love with games. Throughout the story, he challenges himself to play games while searching for his red-haired sister.
Dragon God Leoreshe
This is the main heroine of the series. She's usually referred to as Leoreshe. She's a former god, and "accidentally" slept for approximately 3,000 years (although it doesn't seem like she was accidentally sleeping). What's more, she slept in a place known as the "Permanent Snow Zone," where the average temperature is below 0°C. As a former god, her story is extraordinary. She actually wants to return to her throne as a god, and challenges herself to play the Gods' Game with Fei. As a former god, she simply enjoys the game itself.
The Relationship between Fei and Leoreshe
Fei ends up participating in the "Game of the Gods" with the former god, Leoreshe. Leoreshe requested, "Bring the best gamer of this era," and Fei was brought along, almost by force. However, at this point, they still didn't know each other well. They decided to play a game called "Self-Introduction Concentration" to introduce themselves. Leoreshe took a liking to Fei during this game, and joined him in the "God Play" game.
Who is the red-haired older sister...?
The "red-haired sister" that Fei met as a child, who sparked her love for games, Leshe, also has red hair. Some may wonder if the red-haired sister's true identity is actually Leshe. However, the truth is still unknown, so we may find out as the story progresses. My theory is that she's a different person, appearing as Leshe. She's likely a character who hasn't yet appeared in the original work, but who will likely appear towards the end and hold the key to the story.
Summary About Fei and Leoreshe
The protagonist, Fei, and the main heroine, Leoreshe, work together to play games. The two, who enjoy games with pure intentions, share a wonderful bond. Other characters also appear, including the heroine Pearl. If you're interested, why not check out the original light novel? That's all for today. Thank you for reading.
