In "Dragon Goes House-Hunting," which will begin airing in April 2021, many of the monsters we are familiar with will appear, but they often appear in a form that is far removed from how we imagine them. Even heroes, who are the epitome of strength and righteousness, such as the main character Letty, a cowardly and weak dragon despite her gigantic and ferocious appearance, are reduced to mere chuunibyou in this work. In this article, we would like to introduce the amusing characters who appear in "Dragon Goes House-Hunting," who are a little different from our stereotypes, in the form of a ranking of popular characters.
9th place: Cassandra
When Letty was accidentally sold to the arena, he was the leader of the monsters in the arena who kindly welcomed her. During the story, there was a commotion and all the friends in the arena were in danger of being killed, but he led Letty and her friends as their leader. After escaping the arena with his friends, he seems to have turned to the circus.
8th place: The King
He is Nell's father, who is with Letty. The king mistook Nell's company with Letty for his daughter to be kidnapped by a dragon, and fought with Letty. After that, Nell persuaded Letty to clear up the misunderstanding. The fact that the king and Letty fought was later distorted and spread as the "Fire Dragon King Legend."
7th place: Huey
A hunter who appears in the story. There are many scenes in which he shows off his knowledge of monsters and beasts, so there is no doubt that he is a very skilled hunter, but like the other characters, he also has many aspects that are a little off.
He played a part in spreading the name "Flame Dragon King"
Unlike other characters, he has a little knowledge, so he mistook Letty, who cannot fly, for a new type of dragon, and he was the person who caused Letty to become famous as the "Flame Dragon King".
6th place: Albert
Cait Sith is a hunter who works alongside Huey. The idea of a cat accompanying a hunter is reminiscent of a certain monster hunting game. In fact, there are many jokes between Alphard and Huey that are based on the monster hunting game.
Huey's good buddy!
There are many scenes in the story that show how much Huey trusts Albert, and they are one of the most trusting duos out of all the characters that appear in the series.
5th place: Hero
This is the hero who appears in this work. Despite appearing from the beginning of the work, he is not allowed to do anything significant, and his name is not even written, making him a rather pitiful character. In fantasy works, heroes often play important roles, but it seems that the hero in this work is a little different.
An unexpected scapegoat
This is an outrageous work in which the hero plays the role of a scapegoat, which would be almost impossible in a normal fantasy work, but the greatest feature of this work is the ingenuity of giving the character a role that would not fit into the normal image.
A nuisance in the work! ?
Not only are heroes in this world viewed as a nuisance in many situations, but they are also often used as a pushover when strong or attractive characters appear.
4th place: Pee
This bird accidentally hatched from an egg that Letty found. When it hatched from the egg, it mistook Letty for its parent due to imprinting, a tendency of birds to mistake the first moving object they see for their parent, and from then on it started to travel with Letty.
Fresvelgoo
At first glance, Pee is just a helpless little bird, but when he grows up, he seems to grow into a powerful bird called a Fresvelgoo. Right now, Pee is still helpless and can only yell loudly, but one day he may become a good partner for a powerful lady.
Generous expectations of Letty
Letty has many unreliable sides and has almost no expectations from those around her, but Pea mistakes Letty for his parent, and is the only character in the story who truly values Letty.
Needs to be kept cool
Because they live in the vast ice sea, they are generally weak to heat and need to be kept cool in warm environments. Although they cannot breathe fire, their compatibility with Letty, who is a species that handles fire, may not be very good in that sense, but the two are bound by a strong bond and do not seem to mind such difficulties very much.
3rd place: Letty
This is the dragon who is the protagonist of this work. Although he is a high-ranking dragon, he is also a complete loser who cannot fly or spit fire. In this work, Letty, who can't do anything, travels with many companions in search of a place to live.
Weak and cowardly
Many people may imagine a dragon to be very ferocious and strong, but Letty, the main character of this work, cannot fly or spit fire. In addition, her ability scores are so low that Nell is shocked and asks, "Is she really a dragon!?"
But Kind
Although she doesn't seem to have any good points, she is kind enough to go out of her way to help those weaker than herself, and she is often seen trying her best to spit fire for her friends, such as Pee and Nel.
Red Dragon
Letty has almost no combat ability, but as a high-ranking species, the Red Dragon, she may have considerable potential combat ability. In the story, Letty is shown struggling to do her best for her friends, little by little, and it seems that she is trying to become stronger in order to protect what is important to her.
2nd place: Neru
She was saved by Letty and Diaria when she was about to be sold to bandits. She is the princess of a certain kingdom, and is a very brave person who does not hesitate to give orders even to Letty, a dragon.
She had run away from home
Before she was kidnapped by the bandits, she had run away from home because she was angry that her parent, the king, had eaten her snack. It seems a little odd for a princess of a country to run away just because her snack was eaten, but on the other hand, isn't it fair to say that she is a person of extraordinary initiative?
Reconciliation with her father
There was a bad mood between Nell and her father because she had run away from home, but Letty saw Nell as a reflection of herself, who had been kicked out by her father, and worked hard to help them make amends. As a result, Nell was able to make amends with her father.
1st Place: Dexiaria
An architect who is searching for his house with Letty. In place of Letty, who is timid and weak, he is skilled in negotiating and fighting with many people, and can be said to be one of Letty's most reliable companions.
A reliable demon king! ?
Diaria's greatest characteristic is that while he calls himself an architect, he is actually a demon king. In fantasy, demon kings are often depicted as evil beings that threaten the happiness of many people, but Diaria, the demon king in this work, is trusted by many monsters and kings and seems to be a person who keeps the balance of the world well.
Strong
Because he is a demon king, his fighting ability is very high, and since he acts together with Letty, Diaria's achievements are often mistaken for Letty's. Isn't it true that Diaria is the person who has most contributed to spreading Letty's "Flame Dragon King Legend"?
Many female fans! !
He is supported by many female fans because of his coolness, which allows him to make calm and collected decisions at all times. The fact that he is one of the few handsome characters in the work may also be a factor in his popularity.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we introduced the many characters that appear in "Dragon, Buy a House" in the form of a popularity ranking. Many unique characters with settings that throw away our stereotypes about the fantasy world have appeared. I'm looking forward to seeing these characters actually move as an anime.
