"Combatants Will Be Dispatched!" is a work by the author of KonoSuba. It was originally posted on Let's Become a Novelist, but has since been published as a book, adapted into a manga, and will be adapted into an anime starting in April 2021. The story is appealing, with the comedic style seen in KonoSuba, and its characters are also charming. This time, we'd like to introduce some of the fascinating characters from "Combatants Will Be Dispatched!"!
The protagonist of this work is "Combatant No. 6," a low-ranking fighter with a despicable personality.
The protagonist of this work is a low-ranking fighter in the secret organization Kisaragi. Although he's actually the longest-serving member of the team, his constant sexual harassment and despicable behavior, coupled with his inability to fully commit evil, means he remains a low-ranking combatant and his salary remains unchanged. Despite his scumbag nature, he's cunning and has a high success rate in completing missions. He's also trusted by executives, and is transported to another world to solve the company's employment problems.
The protagonist, Combatant No. 6's partner? The android "Kisaragi Alice"
A human-like girl android developed by Kisaragi's genius scientist, Lilith. Although she may appear to be a foul-mouthed young girl, she is a highly capable young girl with all sorts of abilities. Alice handles tasks that require mental effort, such as translation, networking, and negotiation in the other world. On the other hand, she isn't particularly skilled in combat, due to her young appearance, but she can at least handle firearms. Despite this, she makes a good partner for the idiot Rokugo, who is in charge of manual labor. Apparently, her power source uses a high amount of energy, so if she were to drop from a high place and explode, the entire area would be blown up.
Snow, Royal Knight of the Snob Kingdom
A beautiful woman who serves as the commander of the Royal Knights of the Grace Kingdom. She is a loyal and hardworking orphan who has worked her way up to her current position. However, perhaps as a reaction to this, she has a strong desire for success and is a snob obsessed with status and power. Her hobby is collecting famous swords, and she always takes out loans to buy them. Her involvement with No. 6 leads her to become involved with troublesome people, including No. 6, but Snow is also quite troublesome.
Grimm, the Archbishop of the Xenaris Church, who governs immortality and disaster.
A woman who joined the guerrilla unit along with No. 6. Although she appears as a sexy woman in a wheelchair, her true identity is the archbishop of the "Xenaris Church," which worships the evil god Zenaris, who controls immortality and disaster. After missing her chance to get married and becoming a latecomer, she joined the church in despair and before she knew it, became an archbishop. With the power of the evil god of immortality, she can revive even after death and can also use the power of curses. She can curse others, but if she fails, the curse she cast will come back to her exactly as it was.
Combat Chimera "Rose"
A combat chimera with the Kirby-like ability to copy the properties of anything she eats. Due to her late grandfather's will, she acts like a chuunibyou, but in reality, she's nothing like that. Her eccentric appearance is merely a hint. She's a kind and honest girl. She also has high combat abilities, and Rokugo and Alice plan to recruit her to Kisaragi in the future.
Tiris, Princess of the Kingdom of Grace
Her real name is Crest Celes Tiris Grace. She is the princess of the Kingdom of Grace and a capable princess who also plays a political role. She is a kind-hearted, compassionate princess who cares for her people and subordinates. Snow also pledges her loyalty to Tiris. Although she always maintains a gentle expression, she can be quite frightening when angry. Perhaps due to her role in the country's politics, she also has a somewhat devious personality.
Heine of the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings
One of the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings. She's a beautiful, spunky woman with a great figure, but she's also a formidable opponent with the ability to freely control fire. ...However, because she's so straightforward and easygoing, she doesn't seem to get along with Rokugou. Every time they meet, she's sexually harassed, humiliated, and leaves in tears. This is the usual pattern. She has a grudge against Rokugou.
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army: Gadalcand
A demonic-looking executive of the Demon King's Army. He's a formidable foe with a warlike personality, a large build, and the ability to fly. He's like a Red Alamar. He exudes a powerful aura, but is sliced to pieces by Combatant No. 6's cheat.
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army: "Russell of Water"
A slightly cheeky boy with a similar appearance to Heine and Rose. He adores Heine and has the ability to control water. He seems to know Earth's technology and even controls a giant robot, but is eventually defeated and taken prisoner. After his chastity is threatened by a perverted fighter named Torao who has a fetish for shota boys, he is forced to work as a water-producing device in the Kingdom of Grace.
Frozen Astaroth, a member of the secret society Kisaragi
One of Kisaragi's longest serving members and executives. He is heavily involved in Kisaragi's management, and it's Astaroth's job to make Rokugo work hard. Despite making Rokugo do crazy things, he seems to have feelings for him and worries that he might become friends with another girl in the other world. His risqué fashion isn't cosplay, but rather the aesthetic of an evil organization.
Belial the Inferno, an Executive of the Secret Society Kisaragi
One of Kisaragi's longest serving members and executives. A militant executive who leads Kisaragi's combatants, Belial's job is to engage in battles with heroes. While his combat abilities are impressive, he doesn't seem to be particularly knowledgeable about management.
Black Lilith, a member of the secret society Kisaragi
Kisaragi's longest serving member and a genius scientist responsible for the development of Kisaragi's mysterious technology. Lilith likely credits her with the development of combat suits and surgical modifications. She's an undeniable genius, having developed the Kisaragi-Alice android and the teleportation device to another world. However, she tends to be careless about things other than her interests, and has a mad scientist-like side, such as sending No. 6 to another world without ensuring the safety margin of the teleportation device.
Combatants Dispatched! 】Character Summary
Here's a summary of the characters appearing in "Combatants Will Be Dispatched!". Like KonoSuba, it's an interesting series with many unique characters. The setting is based on the comic book adaptation rather than the light novel, so the character introductions are based on the currently released comic book versions. I expect the anime will also progress up to the same level as the currently released comic book versions. The "Combatants Will Be Dispatched!" anime will begin airing in April 2021.
