The anime "Re: Monster", which will be broadcast from April 2024, is a light novel adaptation of a work published on the novelist Narou. The protagonist, who was stabbed to death by a stalker, is reincarnated in another world and fights alongside his allies, increasing the number of his allies, and ultimately rises to power on a very large scale. This time, we have created a ranking of the strongest members of the mercenary group "Parabellum", of which the protagonist is the leader! This ranking is based on the results of the fighting tournament included in the 6th volume of the comic book version!
The strongest ranking #1: Aporou (Goburou → Ogarou → Aporou)
The protagonist of this work. The head of the mercenary group "Prepare for War (Parabellum)". He was originally the weakest goblin, but he rose to prominence due to the "absorption ability" he was born with, and in an instant he transformed the army of the weakest goblins into a large-scale mercenary group. The "absorption ability" is a special ability that allows him to absorb the abilities of those he eats, and as a result of continuing to eat his defeated opponents, he becomes the strongest of the mercenaries, gaining all kinds of abilities. "Prepare for War (Parabellum)" has many twists and turns, becoming a mercenary group of all kinds of races, including goblins, kobolds, humans, and elves, and as it grows in size, it starts to develop all kinds of businesses beyond the framework of mercenaries. It has changed its name and race as it evolves, evolving from "Goburo" small demon (goblin) → medium demon/subspecies (hobgoblin variant) → "Ogarou" large demon/rare species (ogre rare species) → "Aporou" apostle demon/extinct species (apostle lord expiries).
Originally a reincarnated person!?
In fact, before living his second life as a goblin, he was a human with a special ESP ability that was enhanced, and his real name is Tomokui Kanata. He had the "absorption ability" even before he was reincarnated, and this ability was inherited when he was reincarnated, but he lost all the abilities he had acquired with the ability during his lifetime. The reason he was reincarnated in another world was because he was stabbed by a woman who was like a younger sister to him and a stalker on the way back from drinking with his colleagues.
Second place in the strongest ranking: Minokichi (Gobukichi → Ogakichi → Minokichi)
A goblin born at the same time as the protagonist. At first, he was treated as a convenient companion and expendable pawn by Goburo, but they fought together through the turbulent goblin era and grew into Goburo's best friend and most reliable companion. Although she is a kind person and not good at thinking, she wants to be an equal with Goburou, who continues to move forward with his eyes set on a much greater place than herself, and she grows into a powerful character in the mercenary group, second only to the protagonist. Like the protagonist, her name and species change, evolving from "Gobukichi" small demon (goblin) to "Medium demon/hobgoblin" to "Ogakichi" large demon/subspecies (ogre variant) to "Minokichi" new species of bull-headed demon (Minotaur/Nyspesis).
3rd place in the strongest ranking: Kanami (Gobumi → Damumi → Kanami)
A female goblin born at the same time as the protagonist. She is invited by Goburou to become his second companion, and after evolving, she becomes the protagonist's partner, a heroine-like character. She has had feelings for Goburou since they first met, and although she is usually calm and intelligent, she is merciless to those who try to harm Goburou, and this tendency becomes even stronger after evolving. Her evolution order is Goblin → Hobgoblin → Half-Vampire Subspecies (Dampire Variant) → Vampire Noble Subspecies (Vampire Noble Variant) → Ice-Blooded Progenitor Transcendent Species (Asrad True Vampire Superior Species).
The 4th Strongest Ranking: The Avenger
A young man who was a former royal knight. He met the main characters when his hometown was attacked by the "Great Armored Centipede" and his girlfriend was killed in front of his eyes. He abandoned his name to get revenge and became a member of "Prepare for War (Parabellum)". He seems to be devoting himself to training day and night, agreeing to the condition that he provide information about the person (Filipo Berd Rockata) who is thought to have been using the "Great Armored Centipede" that attacked his hometown and make arrangements for it. His real name is Sigurd Eis Sven.
5th place in the strongest ranking: Asue (Gobue → Asue)
A female goblin who was scouted by Goburou for her courage and ability, and became the protagonist's third companion. Her hobby is gathering, and she contributes to the mercenary group in ways that are not related to combat, such as discovering labyrinths and excavating hot springs, but she is one of the most capable members of the mercenary group. Minokichi has feelings for her, and when she accepts his feelings, they become partners. Goblin → Hobgoblin → Half Earthlord → Earthlord Variant → Aspher Raja Variant.
6th place in the strongest ranking: Burari (Goburi → Hoburi → Burari)
One of the migrant workers who returned on the 27th day. A female hobgoblin with a ponytail, she is also a good friend of the migrant workers and Goburi. When Goburou dueled with the leader of the migrant group, the other migrant group members were shocked by Goburou's ruthless victory with overwhelming strength, but Goburou was the only one whose eyes lit up. Later, he showed an aptitude for swordsmanship and began to collect magic swords and famous swords. He evolved in the following order: Goblin → Hobgoblin → Half Bloody Lord → Bloody Lord Variant → Bloody Raid Empress Variant.
7th place in the strongest ranking: Supe Star (Gobu Star → Hobu Star → Supe Star)
One of the migrant workers who returned on the 27th day. When he first appeared, he was a hobgoblin mage, highly intelligent and calm, and encouraged the migrant workers and Goburou to settle their disputes in a duel. In Goburou's opinion, he was stronger than the leader of the migrant workers. Goblin → Hobgoblin Mage → Half Spelllord → Spelllord Variant → Spelltank Queen Variant.
8th place in the strongest ranking: Heat Oni-kun
Former Imperial Army slave unit, a flame lord. Although he was temporarily protected by a mercenary group, he thought he could take over the group immediately. When he joined the mercenary group, he was not satisfied with his position due to the strength of his race, so he challenged Ogarou and the others, but he was defeated in about three minutes. Afterwards, he is shocked to see Ogarou's abilities, which are impossible for a mere ogre, but he learns Muay Thai under Ogarou's guidance.
9th place in the strongest ranking: Fuuki-san
A former Imperial slave unit storm demon who acts with Nekki-kun. He was planning to take over the mercenary group with Nekki-kun, but was killed in an instant along with Nekki-kun. After that, although he harbors rebellious feelings, he and Nekki-kun and Genki-kun change their views of Ogarou after Ogarou defeats Jad Eagle alone. He is good at footwork that wraps around the wind and has excellent attack speed, so he will receive Savate training from Ogarou to make the most of his strengths.
Strongest Ranking #10 Scarface
A black undead knight who was the last to survive a battle between the skeletons created by the protagonist's "lower undead generation", whose bones have thickened and changed, overcoming his weakness to blows. Equipped with two heads and multiple weapons, and since he was an individual who served as a trainer, his intelligence is slightly higher, and the protagonist names him "Scarface". The black aura-like special biological armor provides resistance to blows, magic, and a barrier against sunlight, and does not disappear even during the day.
【Re:Monster】Strongest Ranking Summary
I've compiled a ranking of the strongest members of the mercenary group "Prepare for War (Parabellum)" led by the protagonist from Re:Monster! However, this is a ranking of hand-to-hand combat without weapons, so if anything goes, the rankings will change. The story will continue to get more exciting as the companions grow and increase in number! The anime will start airing in April 2024, so I hope you'll watch it!
