It's a story that's sure to captivate you after just one episode. Here's a look at the characters in "Kingdom of the Dead"!
Character #1: Adonis
The protagonist of this work. Despite being human, he was raised by the witch Chloe Morgan and is the only human who can use magic that humans normally cannot wield, in the form of "descriptive summoning magic." To escape the witch hunts of the Lydia Empire, he led a wandering life with his mentor, Chloe Morgan, but was forcibly summoned using the Empire's scientific technology, and Chloe was brutally murdered before his eyes. After that, he was designated for permanent imprisonment by the Empire, but 10 years later, his seal was broken and he began to take action to exact revenge on the humans who brutally murdered Chloe and trampled on her dignity.
Character #2: Chloe Morgan
A witch who is the foster mother and magical teacher of the protagonist, Adonis. Known as the Frost Witch, her abilities are renowned as being among the finest among witches. She apparently lived in a place known as the Witch's Country, but was effectively exiled from the country after protecting Adonis and teaching him magic. She developed the technology to use magic while remaining human, and she teaches it to Adonis. Her kind-hearted nature led her on the run to prevent Adonis from killing her own kind. However, she was forcibly summoned by a summoning device developed by the Empire, and her magic was sealed with a device that neutralizes witch powers, resulting in her brutal murder without resistance.
Character #3: Doroka
The heroine of this work. She was imprisoned as a slave in the Mayhem Prison Camp in the Seventh Control District of the Lydia Empire, and was about to be shipped off as a sex slave. However, at the last moment, she stole the warden's smartphone, freeing the slaves and breaking the seal on Adonis. She has a kind heart and is willing to sacrifice herself to help others. Her magic as a witch is the "Mandrake," a love spell that controls men. After freeing Adonis from his seal, she reveals a way to bring Chloe back to life, but is shot and killed in the next moment. However, she is later resurrected by the Tree of Life, which creates witches.
Character #4: Emperor Goethe of the Lydian Empire
The 23rd Emperor of the Lydian Empire. Since the dawn of history, humans have survived with the help of witches who manipulate the paranormal phenomenon known as magic. Unhappy with this status quo, he began a witch hunt with the aim of gaining independence from witches and overcoming his complexes, and with the scientific technology established during the Super Industrial Revolution (Gear Expansion), he almost completely wiped out all the witches surviving on the continent. He was also the one who brutally murdered Adonis's teacher, Chloe Morgan, without her resisting, using a device that neutralized magic. However, he was exposed to radiation as a side effect of the device, and 10 years after Adonis' seal was broken, he developed an incurable disease and is not expected to live long.
Character #5: Andromeda (Dorothea Grete)
The wife of Goethe, the 23rd Emperor of the Lydian Empire. Her true identity is the witch Dorothea Grete, who travels through the polyphonic universe. Like Droka, she wields the "Mandrake (Bound)" love spell that controls men, and manipulates Goethe from behind the scenes. It's highly likely that her magic was the catalyst for Goethe's witch hunt, and by manipulating Goethe, she succeeded in almost completely wiping out her fellow witches. Afterward, she manipulated Goethe, now no longer of any use, to commit suicide, and then became the new emperor herself, becoming the mastermind behind the story. When she first appears in public, she becomes something of an idol, and it turns out she resembles Doroka, who also has the power of love magic.
Character #6: Anna
A witch who was imprisoned with her best friend Doroka in the Mayhem Prison Camp in the Seventh Control District of the Lydian Empire. In fact, she infiltrated the empire with Doroka at the witch Ophelia's command, waiting for an opportunity to rescue Adonis. She has the ability to use the duplication magic, Death Fake, and uses it to fake Adonis' death and bring him to Ophelia. She is also Doroka's best friend. She protects her at Tsukizono and fakes her death, but is decapitated and dies.
Character #7: Ophelia Clementine
She escapes witch hunts and uses human technology to build a new witch kingdom on the moon, becoming a leader. While she appears gentle, she actually uses Adonis to revive Chloe and obtain descriptive summoning magic, and she plans to use slaves she has abducted from Earth to use them as a fighting force against humans. In the end, Adonis saw through her plan, and they engaged in combat with humans who had tracked her location from a GPS implanted in Adonis, resulting in her death along with the other witches, without achieving her goal.
Character #8: Yamato
He is the head of the Imperial National Security Bureau (Senior Chief). He was in charge of suppressing Adonis's massacres. He dotes on his younger sister Yuki, who is also the deputy head of the Bureau. After Yuki activated the Magic Photon Suppression Device and was exposed to large amounts of radiation, he developed a deep hatred for Adonis, who caused the incident, and personally participated in the attack on Tsukizono. After nearly wiping out all the witches in the Moon Garden, she engages in a deadly battle with Adonis, but is immobilized by Doroka's love magic and then decapitated by Adonis from behind.
Character #9: Sita Samantha
Director of the National Science Bureau. When Adonis's seal is broken, Yamato attempts to use the Magic Photon Suppression Device, but she is denied permission, explaining that the nuclear photons emitted by the device have the side effect of destroying human cells when exposed to them. However, when Deputy Director Yuki ignores the warning and activates the Magic Photon Suppressor, Yuki risks his own life to stop the device, but is exposed to excessive radiation and is left with only a short time left to live.
Character #10: Yuki
Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau. She is the younger sister of Director Yamato of the National Security Bureau and deeply respects her brother. While she appears to be a talented individual, having risen to the position of Deputy Director of the Security Bureau at the youngest age, she sometimes behaves recklessly, such as ignoring Sheeta's warnings and activating the Magic Photon Suppressor, which produces rays harmful to humans, in an effort to help her brother. After suffering from excessive radiation exposure due to the effects of the Magic Photon Suppression Device, he received treatment and returned as a cyborg, but was ordered to be disposed of. He then killed the new bureau chief and pursued Adonis with his comrades.
Character 11: Punch
He is the leader of the contaminated people on the Scrap Plains. Despite living a life far removed from civilized society, he enjoys a lively and carousing life with his friends, including refugees who cannot receive asylum from the Empire and refugees from developing countries. He rescues Adonis and Doroka after they escape from the Moon Garden and welcomes them with a banquet. He knows Chloe and Adonis, suggesting that he may have known Chloe before.
Character #12: White Rabbit
He is the head of the Lydia Empire Intelligence Bureau. A man with dreadlocks and an elusive personality, he tracks down and attacks Adonis, who has been teleported from the Moon Garden. By deploying his built-in reinforced weapon, "Hummingbird," he can freely manipulate and stalk countless hands. He has been subjected to a binding spell by the Queen, making Doroka's binding spell ineffective. He personally corners Adonis, blinding him and tormenting both of them, but is killed when Adonis, enhanced by the magic of love, freezes him in absolute zero.
[Kingdom of Hell] Character Summary
Here's a summary of the characters appearing in Kingdom of Hell, scheduled to air in the fall of 2023! It's a shocking story about the protagonist slaughtering a group of people who have lived peacefully, but it's also refreshing because the humans themselves are not good-for-nothing. However, as the worldview unfolds, it's also fascinating to see previously unseen aspects! It's a rather gory and brutal story, but it's entertaining, so I highly recommend watching it!
