Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, which is set to have a second season this summer, features many fascinating characters. While the series is a heartwarming slice-of-life story, it also features a race of dragons with high combat abilities. As a result, there are many battle scenes, which is unusual for a slice-of-life manga, and one of the highlights is being able to see the heated battles between dragons. So, today we'd like to introduce the dragons that appear in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid in the form of a strength ranking. In addition to the new character Ilulu, many other combat characters will appear in the second season, so the strength ranking is likely to play a very important role. Be sure to check it out before the second season begins.
6th Place: Kanna
Kanna is the youngest of the many dragons appearing in this work. Because she is still a child, there are few scenes depicting her in combat, and she is thought to be a character with limited combat power.
We look forward to seeing her grow even more!
However, even though she is a child, she is still a dragon's child, so depending on how she grows, she could become quite strong. Kanna's father, who appears in this work, is a very powerful dragon, so considering that, there's no doubt that she has more potential than other characters.
Growth through episodes with her father!
And above all, with her father as a huge obstacle, Kanna seems to have been prepared as a dragon since childhood. The famous scene in this series, in which she bravely confronts the mastermind behind her father's manipulation in order to protect Kobayashi and those around her, is one of them.
Doesn't belong to any faction
Kanna was kicked out of her house before her position was decided, so unlike other characters, she doesn't belong to a specific faction. As a result, throughout the story, there's a battle to get Kanna to join their faction.
5th Place: Elma
Despite being a dragon, Elma works at the same company as Kobayashi. While she is depicted fighting as a dragon, later portrayals of her give the impression of being more intelligent than fighter-type.
Harmony Force
Elma is a member of the Harmony Force, which seeks coexistence with humanity. At first glance, the name of the force may seem like it's on the side of humans, but in reality, they are a race that receives rewards in return for helping humans, and they are also a force that humans shun.
Conflicts with Thor
Because Elma belongs to the harmony element, she has several conflicts with Thor, who belongs to the chaos element, throughout the story. According to Thor, Thor would win the battle between Elma and Thor, but in the story, various factors come together to make it a very close contest.
Now accustomed to the human world
Elma has had several conflicts with Thor, but now, like Thor, she has completely acclimatized to the human world. She works alongside Kobayashi at the company, and perhaps she's a character who is more able to function in the human world than Thor.
4th Place: Iruru
This dragon has appeared in the anime since Season 2. He is blatantly portrayed as Thor's rival, and battles with him are depicted at every turn throughout the series. He clashes with Thor not only in battle scenes but also in his personal life, making him a character who is at odds with Thor in every way.
He makes his first appearance in Season 2!!
Iruru is a very popular character, appearing frequently in the original manga. However, since she hadn't appeared in the anime until now, many fans have been eager to see her in action. Now, four years after Thor and the others, she finally appears in the anime.
Rivals
Iruru is Thor's rival, after all, so Iruru's appearance is likely to add a bit more excitement to the story's otherwise relaxed pace. In that sense, Iruru's appearance may help prevent the story from becoming stale.
A sudden battle with Thor!!
Iruru engages in a fierce battle with Thor right from the start of the story, so we're excited to see how this scene will be portrayed in the anime. This scene was highly praised in the original manga, so keep an eye out for how it will be portrayed in the anime.
Very Popular!
This character is extremely popular in the original work, so it's exciting to see how he'll be portrayed in the anime. He's also depicted in more battle scenes than other characters, so if you're looking forward to the battle scenes in this work, be sure to keep an eye on this character!
3rd Place: Thor
This dragon works as a maid in the home of Kobayashi-san, the protagonist of this work. As one of the main characters in this work, he is depicted in numerous battle scenes. His combat abilities are also quite high, and he has won battles against many characters.
The protagonist of this work!
As the title of this work, "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid," suggests, it's no exaggeration to say that Thor is essentially the protagonist of this work. As a result, Thor often exhibits a protagonist-like effect during battle, resulting in a very high win rate.
Chaos Forces
Thor belongs to the Chaos Forces, a group hostile to humans and intent on devastating the world. While Thor may be a member of a group that makes you question whether he's really the main character, perhaps his appeal as a character lies in his radical beliefs, which are hard to imagine given his cute appearance.
He was on the verge of death!?
Thor, who boasts some of the strongest fighting abilities in the series, is found near death at the beginning of the story, only to be saved by a drunk Kobayashi. The idea of him collapsing in the mountains after losing a fight and being picked up by an office lady is somewhat reminiscent of a yankee manga.
2nd Place: Fafnir
Like Thor, this dragon is living with Takita at his house.
Male Dragon
Fafnir is a rare male dragon in this work. While it's unclear whether the rules of the human world apply to Fafnir, since males generally tend to be stronger, isn't it reasonable to assume that Fafnir has greater combat power than female dragons? Furthermore, in-game depictions show that he's stronger than Thor, making him undoubtedly one of the strongest characters in the series.
He Doesn't Fawn Over Humans
Fafnir boasts some of the greatest combat power among the many dragons that appear, but his stance is not one of fawning over humans, as his abilities suggest. He has a somewhat philosophical view of human relationships, and unlike Thor and Kanna, he isn't completely dependent on humans.
He even gives Thor advice!?
Even among the many dragons that appear, Fafnir possesses exceptional fighting power and ideas, and often offers advice to Thor when he's in a difficult position. It's difficult to sum up the relationship between Fafnir and Thor in one word, but there's no doubt that Fafnir is one of the dragons Thor relies on in the human world.
1st Place: Lucoa
This character appears in the series as Shota's familiar.
More like a dragon than a god
Lucoa is essentially a dragon, just like the other characters. However, she was originally a god worshipped by humans, and seems to be of slightly higher rank than other dragons.
Her Master is Shota
As mentioned earlier, Lucoa's master is Shota, who is still in elementary school. The large age gap between them makes the conversations between the two characters interesting.
Avoiding Fights
As a god, Lucoa should have considerable fighting power. However, she dislikes fighting, and whenever conflict arises in the series, she quietly disappears. This also shows that she strongly dislikes fighting. Although she is probably the strongest character in the series, participating in a fight would significantly disrupt the balance. Perhaps this is why she can't participate?
Summary
What did you think? This time, we've introduced the many fascinating characters appearing in "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" in the form of a strength ranking. There are many characters in this work who have only appeared a few times, so their fighting power cannot be measured. As the story progresses, these characters will likely be ranked, so be sure to use your imagination and wonder, "Which character is the strongest?" as you read the story.
