Have you heard of the work "Maou-sama, Retry!", which is set to be made into an anime starting in July 2019? The original work is published on a website called "Let's Become a Novelist" and is written by Kanzaki Kurone. It is a hugely popular work that has also been made into a light novel and a comic book. It's likely to become even more popular once the anime starts! The story is about a trip to another world, a "misunderstanding" fantasy! In this article, we will introduce Kunai Hakuto, the character and protagonist from "Maou-sama, Retry!". He becomes the "Demon Lord," but he's not just any demon lord. What kind of character is he?
Is he actually an ordinary person? Who is Kunai Hakuto?
First of all, Kunai Hakuto is a Demon King. The Demon King of the Great Empire that ruled over most of the world. The Demon King of the terrifying Great Empire that held a horrible game of killing each other as a gamble. ...But this is all about an online game. The person who runs this online game personally, Oono Akira, is an ordinary working person you can find anywhere. He's an ordinary person.
I was sent to the game world and became Kunai Hakuto!
One day, Akira Ohno logged in as the character "Kunai Hakuto", the final boss of this game. That day was the day the game's server contract expired. At midnight, everything would be gone. He was in the form of the "Demon King" and slowly switching between game screens, reminiscing about the 15 years he had been playing the game. However, as soon as it was midnight, Ohno time-slips to the Great Forest. And he has changed into the evil demon king "Kunai Hakuto". Akira Ohno was still logged in as the final boss of the online game he created, and just like that, he was transported to the game world.
I'm curious about Kunai Hakuto's profile!
Kunai Hakuto is the "Demon King" of this world. He is the Demon King of the Great Empire, and is a terrifying presence, having caused a huge amount of bloodshed and grief with 4,143,792 victims (number of hits) from this game. He has long hair that reaches his shoulders and a sharp gaze. He is over 40 years old, but his well-trained body is unmatched. He really does look like a Demon King.
But inside he is Akira Ohno
That being said, inside he is Akira Ohno, an ordinary person. He only borrows his appearance and abilities from Hakuto Kunai. That's why he was originally a human, an ordinary person, but perhaps because of 15 years of game management and life in the real world, he is very good at acting and adapting to any situation. That's why he accepts and overcomes this difficult situation. He looks like a demon king and is treated as such by those around him, but inside he is an ordinary working person, which is a very interesting character.
His stats are quite high!
Since he is originally set as the "final boss," one of his characteristics is that his stats are quite high. His physical strength is also not ordinary. Because of this, he seems invincible, but he seems to be confused by the existence of "magic," which did not exist in the game.
What are Kunai Hakuto's weapons, armor, and possessions?
From here, we will introduce the weapons and armor that Kunai Hakuto has in detail. I think they will be important elements in battle fantasy. Let's take a look!
Weapons
Kunai Hakuto's weapon is "Sodom's Fire". It is a knife that can be used for both throwing and slashing, and can be used an infinite number of times. By the way, as an additional effect, there is a certain probability that the opponent will be "burned".
Armor
Kunai Hakuto's armor is "Assault Barrier". It can nullify attacks from those who have not reached level 30. By the way, this also has infinite durability. However, this has no effect on "magic" which did not exist in the original game.
Possessions
One of Kunai Hakuto's possessions is the "Imperial Code". This is known as an item given to players who defeat Kunai. In fact, this code itself has no effect in the game world. It only has an effect in the real world.
Possessions②
Kunai Hakuto's other possession is "Mild Heaven". This is the most popular "cigarette" in the Great Empire. There seem to be other types of cigarettes, such as "Buster" and "High Knight". Kunai Hakuto is often seen smoking cigarettes. However, unlike the real world, smoking cigarettes in the game world is not bad for your health, but rather restores your energy.
Is he actually kind? What is Kunai Hakuto's personality like?
In this world, he is a terrifying demon lord, but inside he is an ordinary person called Kunai Hakuto. He also has a kind side. For example, the first resident he meets in the other world, "Aku", is disabled and wears tattered clothes. Even though he says, "You will be polluted if you touch me," he forces him to carry him on his back and walks with him, and gives him a bath... Incidentally, there is a line he says to Aku, "There's no way a human can be polluted by something like that. A human body can always be made new if you wash it." His kindness is oozing out. Incidentally, when Aku was told this, he cried on Kunai's back.
However! He still has the nature of a demon king.
That said, this is the appearance of Kunai Hakuto. Of course, deep inside his body, his "original personality" still exists. That's why he can be extremely cold-hearted and cruel. That said, he often helps villagers, such as by repeatedly spanking the saint "Luna Elegant" who was mercilessly killing bandits, as a form of "discipline" (?), and he is still a kind person.
Quite calm and collected?
He used to be an adult and a working adult, but now he looks like an old man (!), so he has a pretty calm and collected personality. It's amazing how he was able to accept the fact that he had traveled to another world in the first place. That's why he's generally not surprised, unafraid, and calm no matter what happens. However, this may be due in large part to his original personality as the Demon King, "Kunai Hakuto." He laments Luna's tsundere behavior, saying, "I used to be able to handle tsundere," and "Now I just find her annoying...," and we also get a glimpse of him thinking that he's no longer young. However, he seems to be tired of being treated like an old man, and he often asks Aku to call him "big brother," but Aku just brushes him off by saying, "No."
Kunai Hakuto's other personality...? What is Kirisame Rei?
Rather than Kunai Hakuto, he should be called Ohno Akira's other personality. Another character created by Akira Ohno is Kirisame Zero. Akira Ohno can switch from Kunai Hakuto to Kirisame Zero. This character is a member of a biker gang. He has a sharp gaze and wears pure white clothing with words such as "Unbeatable," "Ready to fight," and "Buddhist righteousness" written on it, along with a dancing dragon. By the way, he is not "logged in" but rather "changed," so he moves as he pleases regardless of Akira Ohno's will. As a result, Akira Ohno is sometimes embarrassed by his old-fashioned Yankee accent and tells him to "Stop it!" He also leaves a legend behind, and rumors about him spread quickly among the townspeople. One of the saints, "Killer Queen," has fallen in love with him.
Summary about Kunai Hakuto!
That's all about Kunai Hakuto, the main character of "Maou-sama, Retry!" I was surprised to find out that he's actually an ordinary person. Even so, I think he has a really interesting character setting. If it gets made into an anime and his popularity increases, he'll be even more talked about! I'm looking forward to hearing more news. Thank you for reading this far.
