The ranking of strength and the ranking of favorite characters are different! The main characters who boast overwhelming strength are popular, but in any anime, unexpected dark horses can become very popular characters. Character popularity cannot be measured by strength alone... This time, we will introduce the most popular characters in "Realist Hero's Kingdom Restoration Chronicle" in a popularity ranking that ignores strength.
10th place: Souma Kazuya (Soma Kazuya)
The 10th place is the protagonist of this work, Souma Kazuya. In the other world, he will live as Souma Kazuya. As king, he leads the country, but in fact, he is a bit overshadowed compared to the main character...? This is because, rather than being a character who fights on the battlefield, as he is king, his main job is to make various decisions. However, the war strategy is mainly handled by Hakuya, the prime minister. Soma's strengths are his decision-making ability and knowledge. The other world he was summoned to is inferior to his original world in many ways, such as civilization, so his knowledge from his previous life is a great weapon. When a large landslide caused a large number of victims, he succeeded in saving many lives with accurate instructions.
9th place: Roroa Amidonia
The ninth place is Gaius' daughter, Roroa Amidonia. She did not appear in the early part of the original comics (she first appeared at the end of the second volume of the comics), but she appeared in the first episode of the anime. As the first princess, she has the quickest mind in the country. However, for some reason, she speaks in Kansai dialect, and there is nothing princess-like about her clothes or attitude. She thinks completely differently from her father and brother, and when the country is filled with a war mood, she says she will act as she pleases and hides with several subordinates. He thinks in the same way as Soma, who acts for the people, and is not very interested in his father's death, but rather in his enemy, Soma. He left behind meaningful lines such as "I won't allow you to run away with the victory" and "You have to take responsibility properly." By the way, in the comics, he has black hair, but in the anime, his hair is brown.
8th place: Kaede Foxia
In 8th place is Kaede, Halbert's childhood friend and superior. He was originally a magician for the Forbidden Army, but his talents (mainly his insight) were recognized and he was made an advisor under Ludwin. (He effectively became the second in command of the Forbidden Army, with Halbert appointed as his adjutant.) He has the appearance of a beastman, but his actual race is a fox spirit. As a magician, he has a large amount of magical powers, and can easily move heavy loads using gravity magic. When they first appeared, they were arguing, but they are very close, and there are scenes where they get affectionate with each other whenever they get the chance... He tries to give Halbert a pillow on his lap after meals, and has a very aggressive personality when it comes to romance, making him a good pairing with the passive Halbert.
7th place: Juna Doma
The 7th place is Juna Doma, who came to Soma by Excel's orders. She appeared as a diva in a talent recruitment call by Soma. As a diva, she attracts attention not only for her singing and dancing, but also for her beauty. When the people saw her, both men and women blushed and were fascinated, and even Soma, who was next to his fiancée, Rishia, was fascinated. I couldn't help but mutter, "I guess heaven has given me two gifts." She originally worked as an intelligence agent and a special forces member, and is a considerable force in combat. In the anime, she looks pretty cute, but in the comics, she is more of an older sister character than Rishia and the others, and is also a character full of adult charm.
6th place: Carla Vargas
In sixth place is Carla Vargas, the daughter of the Three Dukes Castor Vargas. She has a warlike personality like her father, and she also inherits her stubborn personality of not listening when she says something. She first appears as an enemy, but after Castor is defeated by Soma, she is put in a slave collar and taken prisoner. In the war with the Principality of Amidonia, she struggles to protect Soma from Gaius, and Carla's charm is also full in her interactions with Soma at that time. She is best friends with Rishia, and their relationship has remained good even after she was captured. Rishia even suggested to Soma that he make Karla his concubine. Unlike humans, half-dragons have a long lifespan and remain young women for a long time, which is also attractive.
5th place: Halbert Magna
5th place goes to Halbert Magna, who is the highest ranking male. When he first appeared, he was a pushover character, but after joining the Imperial Guard, he began to stand out. Halbert's best point is that he is energetic and silly. Although he seems arrogant, when Kaede tells him to call him the site supervisor, he immediately calls him the supervisor, showing his serious side in strange places. At first, he complained about Soma, but after joining the Imperial Guard, he listened to what Soma said and was the only person Soma allowed to talk to him in a casual manner because they are the same age. When he thinks and acts on his own, he tends to be reckless, but he carries out orders from above firmly, so he is a character that is like an excellent employee in modern terms.
4th place: Elisha Elfrieden
In fourth place is Elisha Elfrieden, Rishia's mother. She is the former queen, but she is so young and beautiful that she seems to be quite old compared to the king! I think there were many people who thought she was the heroine when she first appeared. She is very popular despite having few scenes, and her short appearance gets viewers excited in the comments. Her open chest is particularly noteworthy. Juna is also considered a peerless beauty, but Elisha is a character who is no less beautiful in both appearance and style.
3rd place: Tomoe Inui
The third place is Tomoe, a refugee from the beastman wolf tribe. She was still a small girl and wore tattered clothes at first, but when Soma found out she could talk to monsters, he promised to do everything in his power to protect her, along with her mother and brother. Furthermore, in order to live within the compound, he suggested that she adopt the appearance of the former king and queen... in other words, become Rishia's younger sister. As a result, Tomoe began calling Rishia her big sister and Soma her brother, establishing her as a precious younger sister character in this work. She was so cute that both Soma and Rishia were constantly smitten. (Apart from Rishia, she is not yet a sister to Soma before marriage...)
2nd place: Aisha Udgard
The second place is Aisha Udgard, a dark elf female swordsman. Her charm is of course her wildness. She is cool in battle scenes, and she has some strange thoughts, but she is very interested in Soma as a love interest. And above all, her happy expression during meals is childlike and popular. By the way, she thinks that Rishia is Soma's legal wife, and it seems that she would like to become Soma's wife as his mistress.
1st place: Rishia Elfrieden
The first place is Aisha Elfrieden, the main heroine of this work. When she first appeared, she seemed like a template character, a blonde tsundere beautiful girl, but she quickly became lovey-dovey with Soma. She was suddenly told that she was engaged to Soma, and at first she was not enthusiastic, but by the time the original manga volume 2 started, she was already head over heels in love... Rishia's charm is also her cuteness.
Rishia is the only character in this work whose appearance has changed significantly
Rishia cuts her long hair in the middle of the story and has short hair. Originally, she is the type of person who takes the initiative in battle, and short hair suits her well... but Rishia with long hair and a girlish appearance, and Rishia with short hair and a more active personality, it's hard to say which one is more popular.
