Main Characters

Prince Bojji

Voiced by: Minami Hinata (Japanese), Emily Fajardo (English), Israel Salazar Carmona (Latin American Spanish)

Firstborn son of King Bosse and his late giant Queen. Despite being the child of giants, Bojji was born as quite the small boy and with a hearing disability to boot. However, even with these limitations Bojji dreams of one day becoming a great king, as his late mother once wished for him.

---

• All-Loving Hero: Bojji is filled with love and kindness towards practically everyone around him. He doesn't hesitate to ask Hiling to heal creatures that have hurt him or those he knows. And he's one of the few people to forgive Miranjo for her actions, despite her being responsible for his brother Daida getting possessed by Bosse.
• Ambiguously Human: In-Universe, because of his small size and otherwise human-like appearance, people tend to forget or not be aware that Bojji is in fact a pure-blooded giant, and that while he lacks most of the attributes associated with giants like the strength and size, he retains the immunity to most poison and ability to digest basically anything.
• Animal Motif: Frogs. Along with his frog-like smile, Bojji is small and, while lacking in physical strength and endurance, compensates by being extremely quick on his feet. Also, after he leaves on his journey, he dons a green cloak.
• Attack Its Weak Point: Under Despa's tutelage, Bojji implemented this into his fighting style. For example, when faced with three large ogres, he uses the momentum of their attacks to make up for his lack of strength and hitting their jaws, jolting their brains and knocking them down.
• Badass Adorable: He may not talk, but he can definitely fight.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Bojji is one of the most adorable and nicest boys in fiction, but he is skillful enough to knock out people no matter who the person is, quickly and with not much provocation if he is challenged, or reluctantly will aim to kill if there is absolutely no other way to stop the life or death threat.
• Blood-Splattered Innocents: His mother died shielding him from enemy arrows. Little Bojji was soaked in a puddle of his mother's blood.
• Determinator: Bojji's shining characteristic. He's limited by several barriers: his comparably weak body to that expected out of giant parents, his size, his hearing disability; yet Bojji does not give up on his dream of one day becoming a great king, no matter how many times he falls the little guy always gets up. Bojji refusing to give up is what earns him the support of key people as his journeys on.
• Disability Superpower: Noticeably averted so far. Bojji doesn't have any superhuman qualities. His one advantage over his rivals, his skill with reading people's movements and intentions, is viewed as a cowardly tactic because it doesn't use raw power.
• Foil: A very direct one to both his father and brother. While the other two use underhanded shortcuts to become stronger, Bojji earnestly puts forth the effort to become a great leader. This also applies to their fighting styles; both Bosse and Daida prioritize overwhelming strength, but Bojji nimbly dodges attacks and strikes when he has an opening.
• Fragile Speedster: Even though Bojji isn't physically strong, he's quite fast. He at first manages to best his brother when sparring by dodging mostly, but in his country this fighting style is seen as cowardly.
• Heroic BSoD: After his attempt of his life, Bojji is naturally terrified of encountering Domas again. And when they do inevitably meet again, Bojji is near petrified and his attempts at pumping himself up prove fruitless.
• Hot-Blooded: Despite the fact that he is frail and small, he still loves a good fight. He also seems to get more excited over clever use of skill than raw strength, and a good fight gets him so pumped up he wants to jump in.
• Implausible Fencing Powers: Despite being unnaturally weak to the point where he can't even lift a normal sword, Bojji, later in the series, is able to use a tiny rapier to perform feats like splitting boulders or shattering steel.
• Informed Attribute: Bojji's deafness is inconsistent at times. There are scenes where he reacts to what people say when he clearly doesn't have an angle to read their lips, for instance. This happens more often in the anime than the manga, and is likely just a result of the directors and animators forgetting producing the animation.
• Kiddie Kid: He behaves like he looks, which is to say like a precocious and innocent child. This is despite the fact that he's actually teenager.
• Lethal Chef: He liked the breakfast he made. Kage and Despa, not so much. This is because one of the few giant traits he still has is the ability to eat just about anything, including things that are poisonous to most other beings.
• Logical Weakness: Because Bojji's fighting style revolves around a lot of rapid movements and dodging, he tires rapidly, and can't sustain a fight for long. He also starts out very frail due to his lack of resilience. To compensate for this, Despa taught him to fight using One Hit KO maneuvers to quickly dispatch enemies, as well as how to take a hit so as to avoid significant injury. However against enemies immune to this, like Ouken...
• Obfuscating Stupidity: To an extent. At the very least, he's much more aware of what people say around him than he lets on.
• Older Than They Look: Bojji's growth has been tremendously stunted, he is the child of two towering giant parents but Bojji as a pre-teen is as a tall as infant human children; Bojji's younger brother Daida, who only has one giant parent, his father, is already considerably taller than him. Bosse's deal with a demon plays part in this.
• Pathetically Weak: He's too weak to carry even a real sword made for children, a rock that a full-grown adult would be able to hold with a single hand or anything bigger than an adult size drinking cup if it's full of water. Since he's under a curse specifically meant to take his strength away, this is both justified and unfortunately permanent.
• Punny Name: His name is likely a combination of bochi (a shortened form of hitoribocchi, meaning "All alone") and ouji, meaning "prince." His name essentially means lonely prince. It can also be inferred that his name starts with a B because he's the first son of Bosse, making it mean "Bosse's prince."
• Royal Rapier: Under the tutelage of Despa, Bojji ends up mastering an extremely thin rapier that's kept in a deceptively bulky sheath. With it, he was even able to split a boulder in two.
• Strong Family Resemblance: He takes after his mother in appearance, having her curly hair and round features.
• Super-Senses: He was taught this as part of his Fragile Speedster style, being able to react exceptionally not just due to his sight, but from being to sense incoming attacks from the breeze on his skin.
• Supporting Protagonist: The story starts by quickly establishing Bojji’s ordeal with his body limitations preventing others from seeing him as the great future king that Bojji dreams of becoming, with that Bojji journeys on to make himself capable in any way he can past his limits. After that the plot and characters become increasingly more intricate, focusing a great deal on how the side-cast better (or worsen) themselves due to Bojji’s indirect, and sometimes direct, actions.
• Spell My Name With An S: Bojji is spelled like that with two "jays" due to an apostrophe in Japanese kana, it is also a pun as simply removing that punctuation changes his name to Bocchi, meaning "all alone".
• Stepford Smiler: He's aware that people insult him because of his disability and physical weakness, but does his best to not let anyone see him getting bothered by it.
• Technical Pacifist: If Bojji fights you, he will let you unconscious or paralyzed before you notice, but if you are immune to this and you become a threat that he can't stop non-lethally, much to his regret, he will start considering killing you, and believe me... he has the ability to end you for good, no matter how strong you are.
• Thou Shall Not Kill: The simple thought of having to kill someone it's enough to make him feel sick.
• Took a Level in Badass: Due to Bosse's Deal with the Devil that sapped his strength before birth, Bojji arguably starts out as the weakest character in the series, with the only thing he has going for him in combat is how fast and impossible to hit he is. Under the tutelage of Despa, he becomes equal parts a Glass Cannon due to his new Attack Its Weakpoint fighting style, which combined with his speed allow him to deal Curb Stomp Battles to most of those he fights. It's to the point that his teacher Despa speculates that Desha, his older brother and 2nd Place in the Ranking of Kings, wouldn't be able to beat Bojji, and that Bojji could potentially stand up to Bosse. Even his loss to Ouken is attributed less to a disparity in ability, and more to Ouken's immortality making him immune to Bojji's One Hit Kills.
• Weak, but Skilled: Bojji doesn’t have the physical strength expected of a boy his age, much less the strength expected out of King Bosse’s first son, however, Bojji has become quite agile after being somewhat forcefully trained by dodging Bebin’s snakes. He's even capable of wall running to some extent.

Kage

Voiced by: Ayumu Murase (Japanese), SungWon Cho (English), Emi Lo (young, English), Heber Tolosa (Latin American Spanish)

A former member of the Shadow Clan, Kage's family was employed by the Kingdom of Bo. Allegedly, the Shadow Clan plotted the assassination of their own king Bo, which erupted in a massive manhunt against the entire Clan. Kage's mother tried to escape that hunt with her child in tow, but in the end she could only sacrifice herself so he could escape alone.

---

• Accent Adaptation: In the Latin American Spanish dub, he speaks with a thick Mexico City accent, possibly to accentuate his rough upbringing.
• Dark and Troubled Past: His entire tribe, including his mother, were killed in a brutal pogrom and he was forced into a life of desperation and crime to survive.
• Fantastic Racism: Suffers a fair amount of abuse thanks to his clan's reputation and natural talent for roguery.
• Foil: To Miranjo. Apeas points out the resemblance, that both Kage and Miranjo want the best for someone else (Bojji and Bosse respectively) and believe in that other person's talent, which helps that other party achieve their very best. Both are also willing to resort to underhanded tactics to help their friend (Stealing in Kage's case) - the difference is that Kage still possesses a moral compass, while Miranjo does not. Apeas specifically notes that Kage's support of Bojji reminds him of how Miranjo supported him during his training. Kage, like Miranjo, lost her mother to a murderous mob of people they were ostensibly allied with.
• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: After Boji suffers a humiliating and painful loss dueling Daide, Kage is the only one there to cheer him up, swearing his friendship and loyalty to the young prince.
• Hammerspace: Seems to be able to store all kinds of items inside his body, such as knives.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Extorts Bojji for money when he first meets him and a lifetime of hardship has brutalised him, but seeing Bojji's determination and kindness in the face of adversity melts his heart.
• Living Shadow: Though completely unattached to a human. The Shadow Clan are shown to be able to sneak into anywhere thanks to their pliant, flat bodies and able to become completely undetectable in the dark, making them perfect for thievery, espionage and assassination.
• Meaningful Name: His name is Japanese for "Shadow."
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Was sweet and naïve as a child. As a teenager/adult, he's much more cynical.

Royals

King Bosse

Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (Japanese), Cris George (English), Rubén Moya (Latin American Spanish, season 1), Víctor Hugo Aguilar (Latin American Spanish, season 2)

7th in the Ranking of Kings, Bosse is a champion giant who once fought in a great war to liberate his land against invading monsters. Such fame and feats earned the support of many who eventually built an entire kingdom around him. Since Bosse has grown ill in recent years, he now hopes to pass the crown to one of his two children.

---

• Abusive Parents: He was this before he even had children. In exchange for greater strength, he made a Deal with the Devil to sap the yet to be born Bojji's strength for himself. And while he does seem to regret this, it doesn't excuse his reckless behavior.
• Bait-and-Switch: At first Bosse is introduced as a good dying king, looking out to set his kingdom straight before he dies. After his death and apparent resurrection however, several plots start taking action where he isn’t presented as a good man at all. Yet as the story unfolds several pieces are laid on the table to reveal Bosse as not as quite bad as some of his actions imply he is. To say he is a tormented character whom the plot intentionally forces the audience to question is putting it mildly.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: It turns out that he made a Deal with the Devil to gain more strength in exchange for severely weakening Bojji, though the trope ends up ultimately being zigzagged with him. He's not so much secretly malicious so much as he is very flawed and reckless.
• Carry a Big Stick: His weapon is a huge club. After possessing Daida's body, he resumes using it.
• Conflicting Loyalty: His entire ordeal after being resurrected in Daida’s body, Bosse does care for his family and subjects, but he will not eliminate Miranjo on the spot for being an open threat to them either, since she too is like family to Bosse and has been with him for far longer than anyone that came into his life with the kingdom. Now being forced to make a choice is his character arc.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Ultimately his fight against Bojji turns out to be this. He's utterly unable to land a blow on Bojji, despite attacks that destroy huge parts of the castle walls. Bojji destroys his club and then begins repeatedly attacking him, leaving him utterly defenseless. By the end he's crawling on the ground, trying to reach Miranjo's mirror to release Daida's body before he dies.
• Familial Body Snatcher: Comes back from the dead by possessing the body of his son, Daida.
• Founder of the Kingdom: Bosse founded his own kingdom. To the point where the country is only ever referred to as "Kingdom Of Bosse". It's also indirectly part of Bojji's struggle for acceptance. Bosse is literally the only king the kingdom has ever had, so the locals don't have a wide range of references as to what a king could be like. Which leads them to not accepting someone who doesn't fight like Bosse did as they consider it "cheating".
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: To the extreme. Queen Hiling is a normal sized human woman, and not exceptionally tall at that. Meanwhile, he is a literal giant who is stated to be just over 3 meters tall, consistently shown so in flashbacks, but seems to double in height by the time of his death.
• Living Emotional Crutch: He effectively became Miranjo's entire world after he rescued her. Unfortunately, that meant Miranjo ended up causing a lot of suffering the moment she feared Bosse might leave her behind.
• Meaningful Name: Bosse is The Boss.
• My God, What Have I Done?: He had no qualms about selling the life force of his future son. As far as he was concerned at the time, it was bargaining the life of a complete stranger. However, when Bojji is born and Bosse sees him for the first time, some degree of regret starts to surface which prompted Bosse to form his kingdom, in an attempt to ease the harsh life Bojji would live thereafter.
• Posthumous Character: He dies very early into the series. The story only dives deep into Bosse's character through the eyes of his closest peers and family thereafter who remember him by, and flashbacks to the times before his rise to becoming a king. Then he returns to the world of the living by possessing Daida.
• Pyrrhic Victory: To become the World's Strongest Man, he stole Bojji's strength. He ends up greatly regretting this decision and can't even be excited for his newfound strength.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: When he finds out what the residents of the Gyakuza Kingdom did to a young Miranjo, how they are displaying her mutilated form in public and how they smirk at what they'd done, he loses it, and slaughters the entire town, men women and children included.
• So Proud of You: He notes he feels happiness as Bojji is defeating him, being content that his son finally found his strength.
• Unequal Pairing: Noticeably averted. His first wife was the only woman on the planet who could keep up with him in a fight, and while his second wife Hiling isn't physically strong she comes from a powerful and wealthy family. He never pursues the much younger Miranjo romantically, even years after she became an adult, only ever viewing her as family.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He is directly responsible for several mistakes that impacted those around him, but the one thing he never had malicious thoughts when doing it: forming his kingdom and settling down is ironically one of the decisions that ended up hurting more people in the long run. Miranjo never wanted Bosse to settle down and be surrounded by a new family and followers, she wanted to travel alongside him forever; with that, she began planning for ways to disrupt Bosses’s kingdom and save him from his impeding death.
• World's Strongest Man: It's noted that if a King's rank was decided based on strength alone he would have easily been put at the top. Case in point, he can snap his huge wooden club in half, and then crush the remains into a diamond with his bare hands.
• Would Hurt a Child: He had his sons for the express purpose of making himself stronger. Also, before founding his kingdom, he slaughtered the people of Gyakuza for scapegoating and torturing the then-innocent Mirajno, including the children of said kingdom.
• Xanatos Speed Chess: Bosse tries to fufill his own ambitions and Miranjo's even when the two are actually in direct odds with each other; he acts in ways to keep both trails going. Case in point: once revived in Daida's body, he goes through with allowing Miranjo to move foward with Hiling's assassination attempt, meanwhile he makes sure the assassination attempt fails by advising Dorshe on what was about to happen.

Queen Hiling

Voiced by: Rina Sato (Japanese), Luci Christian (English), Laura Becerril (Latin American Spanish)

King Bosse's second wife, Hiling is a former priestess who became Bosse's lover and eventually new Queen after the late first Queen passed away. Hiling had a child with Bosse: Daida the second prince.

---

• Androcles' Lion: Her healing the two-headed snake years ago pays dividends when he saves her from monsters.
• Cast from Stamina: Her healing power weakens her greatly, eventually making her pass out. Thankfully certain potions can negate the effect if she keeps drinking them while healing.
• Detect Evil: She senses something evil from Miranjo's mirror when she first sees it. Later on, when she first meets Kage, she also senses something off about him.
• Face of a Thug: Her angular face with a long beak-like nose makes her look like a cruel and sinister figure, despite her actually deeply caring for her children and her kingdom. Her cold Tsundere attitude does not help, either. As revealed in Dorshe's flashback, her attempts at bonding with Bojji weren't helped by her tendency to flash a sinister smile even when offering a slice of cake.
• Gag Nose: Long and pointy, it more resembles a woodpecker's beak.
• Good Stepmother: While at first she may seem like a classic Wicked Stepmother, she's shown to be very protective of Bojji and uses healing magic to care for his wounds. Her unwillingness to accept Bojji as a king seems to be less out of spite, and more about genuine worry for him and the kingdom.
• Green Thumb: When she goes all-out with her magic, plants and flowers grow all around whoever she is healing.
• Healing Hands: This is Hiling's magic, and it's shown to be very physically taxing for her to use. She falls unconscious after pushing herself very hard healing Bojji, who had fallen out of the tower his bedroom is in. When she really exerts herself, she makes grass and flowers bloom around her patient. Her power does have limits though, as she can't regenerate lost body parts.
• Helicopter Parents: The unfortunate side of her sincere motherly love towards Bojji. Hiling initially saw him as someone who should be protected at all costs, without ever being allowed to be left in dangerous activities like insisting in being a warrior. It's hard to blame her, since Bojji’s physical limitations looked so impossible to overcome, but it basically made Hiling into someone who didn’t believe in Bojji’s dream of becoming a great king, ironically making her just like her jeering subjects. This results in Hiling pushing for the more physically able Daida to become king so he could be hers and Bojji’s future protector instead. When Bojji comes back to the kingdom as a new type of warrior, who found a way around his limitations, Hiling is throughly impressed and admits she was mistaken for not believing Bojji could find a way to become someone they could rely on, not just a baby boy to be protected.
• Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: Try not to think about how Daida was concieved. Hiling's healing magic was probably involved.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Her marriage to King Bosse was like this. Bosse was a literal giant, able to hold some grown adults in the palm of his hand. His first wife was similarly huge. However, Hiling has the height and build of a normal woman.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's often blunt, stubborn, easily angered, and even snobby at times. Nonetheless, she's a deeply caring individual who won't allow anyone to hurt her children.
• Mama Bear:
  • Upon learning that Bosse has possessed Daida, she is not happy, being quick to confront Bosse and give him a "Reason You Suck" Speech on the matter. She even seems willing to stab him if it means saving Daida, forgetting that Bosse was possessing Daida's body, though thankfully Dorshe stopped her. She also immediately tries to have Miranjo executed after Daida is freed when Daida confirms that she was responsible for his possession.
  • Additionally, in an act of rage and grief, she immediately orders Hokuro and Domas' execution after their perceived failure to protect Bojji.
  • Even when Bojji returns and shows how much he's grown in power and ability, she's wary of Kage because she senses evil from him (no doubt due to his own curse), and has to be talked down from separating Kage from Bojji by Mitsumata pointing out that Kage has saved Bojji's life several times over and Kage is Bojji's best friend.
• Meaningful Name: It sounds like "healing", referencing her magical abilities.
• Medical Monarch: She's a queen whose personal magic is Healing Hands.
• Parents as People:
  • Reconstructed. She was first shown to be strict and easily got annoyed with Bojji and seemingly playing the Wicked Stepmother trope straight. Except, she isn't. She does care for him and her strictness is more of an attempt for her to help Bojji understands his situations, along with the fact that she is one of few people who genuinely understands him and is showed to be pretty horrified at what her biological son did to Bojji. In fact, later episodes show more of her good side and she's aware of her flaws, but she still works hard for the best of both her biological and adopted son.
  • Many of the flashbacks she's in show her working hard to try to gain Bojji's acceptance while the latter is dealing with his grief over the loss of his birth mother. It's a part of the story that may strike particularly close to anyone who has tried to be a stepparent to a child, as we see how Hiling reacts badly when her numerous early attempts to bond with Bojji fail and result with him fleeing from her, and her frustration mounts, making her lash out at servants, only for her to take it back because she realizes it's going to be a slow process and she's ashamed of how she let her frustration make her lash out.
• Personality Powers: She specializes in healing magic, symbolizing her true caring and nurturing personality.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: While understandably hesitant to trust Kage at first (not helped by Kage's initial misunderstanding of her command to protect Bojji), when hearing proof of his loyalty from Mitsumata she backs down and apologizes for her behavior.
• Sinister Schnoz: Her most prominent trait is her beak-like nose which makes her look a lot more intimidating than she really is.
• Tsundere: She seems to be tough and speaks in a harshly prim manner to pretty much everyone, since she believes that's how a royal should carry themselves. In truth, she’s deeply caring about her children, the kingdom, and those she cares for, and her cold facade breaks when she gets emotionally overwhelmed.

Prince Daida

Voiced by: Yūki Kaji (Japanese), Justin Briner (English), Victor Cobarrubias Jr. (Latin American Spanish)

King Bosse's second born, Queen Hiling's son and Prince Bojji's younger brother. In contrast with Bojji, who doesn't have the support of most subjects in the kingdom, Daida seems like a gift to them. The second prince isn't looked as an incompetent fool; for many, he is King Bosse's true heir.

---

• And I Must Scream: Daida is trapped in his own body after Bosse takes it over, in total darkness, unable to see or hear anything.
• Big Little Brother: Thanks to Bojji's stunted growth, the fact that he's the youngest brother is far from being immediately obvious.
• Body Backup Drive: Miranjo planned for him to be this for Bosse, using Bojji's stunted growth as a cover to convince Bosse to have a second son that would be perfect for his soul to take over.
• Break the Haughty: He notes that what Miranjo did to him allowed him to grow as a person. And indeed Daida grows into a nice, more humble person.
• Easily Forgiven: Nobody brings up how he tried to have Bojji and half of his advisors assassinated after he's gotten his body back.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Daida's effectively a Spoiled Brat who's on his way to becoming The Caligula, but even he's disgusted by how Domas voted for him in favour of Bojji when Hilly called for a vote over which of the two should be king, appalled that he would betray Bojji's trust like that. Of course, this doesn't stop him from ordering Domas to kill Bojji to consolidate his power...
  • Despite his willingness to follow the magic mirror in his pursuits to become a high-ranking king, he refuses to take a potion she has concocted using King Bosse's grinded remains to become stronger.
  • While he's willing to kill good people if he believes it will bring stability to the kingdom, he draws the line at needless cruelty and will defend innocent people who pose no threat to his rule. When encountering a phantom of a young Miranjo in the shadow world, he fights off the apparitions of the people who mutilated her and swears to save her, disgusted by the needlessly cruel things they did to her.
• The Evil Prince: Daida shows shades of this, badly injuring Bojji in a sparring match when he didn't need to go so far and stupidly trying to have the advisors who favoured Bojji as king assassinated despite how useful they are to the kingdom. He also orders Bojji's assassination.
• Gag Nose: Just like his mother, his nose is long and beak-like.
• Genre Blind: After having a nightmare in which ignoring his mother's advice and instead listening to the Magic Mirror causes him to unleash a darkness that engulfs him, Daida responds by still going ahead and doing what the Mirror had told him to do earlier.
  • It's later subverted in that when he sees that the magic mirror wants him to drink a potion made from his father's corpse and other unsavory materials, he flat out refuses. Still, his initial willingness puts him in a position where the mirror is able to have her allies force him to drink it.
• Green-Eyed Monster: It's shown that he envies the special attention that Bojji got from his mother, how he wasn't pushed as hard when training, and how his father still chose Bojji as his heir.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Prince Daida's a Half-Giant with his Father King Bosse being a Giant, while his Mother Queen Hiling is Human.
• Healing Hands: Inherited from his mother. Bosse uses them to heal all those injured in Ouken's rampage.
• Motive Decay: It's later revealed that from a young age, Daida was encouraged by Hilling to grow strong enough to protect Bojji due to his comparative weakness to himself, a duty he initially took rather seriously. Eventually, however, his attempts to get stronger to this end caused him to look down on his older brother as a weakling and lose much of the respect he once had for him, leading to him beating him to a pulp in front of the entire castle guard during a sparring session and later ordering Domas to assassinate him to eliminate threats to his rule as King. Bebin and Sori tried rectifying this by taking him into town and pointing out a blind and deaf man, circumstances Daida claimed he would have killed himself under, and commend him for being to live like that and stating it's in part possible due to Bosse's benevolence. The lesson never stuck for Daida until he was possessed by Bosse's spirit and he had nothing left to do but reflect on his actions.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He may be just a kid, but he has strength and fighting skill to spare. Though considering that Daida's a Half-Giant...
• Precocious Crush: After saving Miranjo from the demon, he declares to everyone around him his intention to marry her.
• Right for the Wrong Reasons: Upon being given a potion by the magic mirror, which he's effectively told is a steroid, he refuses to take it due to wanting to become the number one King with his own strength. As the mirror notes upon having Appeas knock him out and her minions force him to drink the potion, he was right to refuse initially, since the potion's true purpose was to allow Bosse to possess his body.
• Sinister Schnoz: He inherited his mother's nose and is actually capable of being ruthless and cruel.
• Stronger Than They Look: Daida is a human/giant hybrid, while his appearance is entirely human his strength is considerably above that of a common person’s, he can easily best adult men without much effort. And when he got possessed by his father, his strengh increased to World's Strongest Man levels.
• Sympathy for the Devil: He never grows to hate Miranjo despite the ways she has wronged him, partially because her actions humbled him and partially because he feels nothing but sympathy for the hardships she endured.
• Took a Level in Kindness: His time trapped in his own body while Bosse took control, finding out the reason why Bojji was so physically weak, and learning Miranjo's full backstory led him to reflect on his past actions and work towards becoming a heroic individual. Despite how badly she wronged him, he actually sincerely thanks Miranjo for helping him to grow into a better person.

Queen Shiina

Voiced by: Takako Honda (Japanese), Laila Berzins (English), Samantha Rios (Latin American Spanish)

The late first Queen, Bosse's first wife and mother of Prince Bojji, Shiina was a fellow warrior giant whom Bosse took a liking to before he ascended to being a ruler; Shiina was a warrior woman who only wanted a strong man to be her husband and so she and Bosse traded the old fisticuffs, both giants soon become a couple. Shiina bore Bosse their son Bojji, she later died early in the small prince's life.

---

• All Amazons Want Hercules: Shiina lived the life of a warrior giantess in days of battle against demons and monsters, when fellow giant Bosse crossed her path he bluntly asked of her to marry him and bear a child, first taken aback Shiina simply rebutted she would settle for the strongest man in the world, and so they fought for a while, resulting in Bosse earning Shiina's respect with them becoming a couple shortly after.
• Forgiveness: When she and Miranjo's mother confront Miranjo on the river between life and death, Shiina notes she won't admonish Miranjo like the latter expects, and that she holds her no ill will. "Hate the sin, not the sinner." The lack of hostility throws Miranjo off and causes her to break down.
• Posthumous Character: She passed away quite many years before the story began, Shiina's entire character comes from flashbacks.
• Retool: In the original online run for the manga Shiina would only be fully revealed way later in the story during a flashback, however, for the first officially published manga volume Sousuke decided to make a new extra chapter revealing her and Bosse's first encounter so new followers could see her soon after they start the series. The anime used that extra chapter early too as intended.

The Big Four

Bosse's most prestigious and strongest knights. Out of hundreds of warriors in his kingdom' four of them became the king's personal envoys. They serve the crown directly.

Domas

Voiced by: Takuya Eguchi (Japanese), A.J. Locascio (English), Arturo Sian Vidal (Latin American Spanish)

A swordmaster who tried to emulate King Bosse's swordsmanship the closest. For that, he was honoured with being Prince Bojji's sword instructor by Bosse himself, hoping for his firstborn to grow strong under Domas' tutelage.

---

• An Arm and a Leg: Hokuro attacks Domas when he confesses to assassinating Boji, cutting into his wrist. Domas knocks out Hokuro, then finishes the cut himself. He later gets it replaced with a prosthetic.
• The Atoner: Feels extremely guilty for trying to kill Bojji. After finding out Bojji survived, he does everything he can to do right by him. Even trying to commit suicide by landing on his head (and failing).
• BFS: Uses an enormous sword, which is appropriate, considering the fighting style he tries to teach Bojji is based entirely around physical strength.
• Conscience Makes You Go Back: He tries to rescue Hokuro from his execution, even after their fight. It doesn't work out as planned, but the thought still counts.
• Driven to Suicide: Subverted. When he discovers that Bojji is still alive, he attempts to end his own life as an apology to him by swan-diving into a stone floor from a great height. However, his body is so well trained he survives a fall that should by all means have broken his neck and skull without a scratch.
• Foil: To Hokuro, especially early on. Domas is more stoic, controlled, while Hokuro is more excitable. Domas is a master swordsman, while Hokuro is a mediocre fighter. Domas' loyalty to Bojji is feigned, while Hokuro's is genuine. Even their own approach to loyalty contrast - Domas strives to proves his loyalty to Daida after the later pointed out his lack of loyalty to Bojji, while Hokuro doesn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone, and insists on his duty to report to Hiling even if it means his death, out of respect to Bojji.
• Friendly Rivalry: With Bebin, one small flashback in the manga when both of them were just regular knights before becoming elites as part of the Big Four, the anime omitted that part, showing just their present rivalry in being tutors of both princes.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Domas has easily the most restrained and conventionally attractive design in a cast of very exaggerated and cartoony characters.
• Meaningful Name: Domas is taken from SworDMASter.
• My Master, Right or Wrong:
  • This is Domas's attitude towards his leadership. In his mind, the leaders of nations have to make hard decisions and have a lot of pressure on them and knowledge soldiers like him lack. It's for this reason he thinks he should always carry out orders without question. This is why he agrees to carry out Daida's orders to assassinate Bojji even though doing so leaves him an emotional wreck.
  • Daida even preys on this, by remarking his refusal to vote for Bojji as king means he betrayed the Prince, and that therefore Daida himself can't trust Domas won't betray him when he thinks it's more convenient. This pushes Domas to want to prove himself and accept assassinating Bojji.
• Odd Friendship: Forms a complicated one with Hokuro after Domas' failed attempt to assassinate Bojji. Its heavily implied Domas began training Hokuro because he doesn't believe he should be forgiven for what occurred. Despite themselves, they form a genuine bond in spite of their history.
• One-Man Army: Able to hold off the Order of the Underworld when they try storming the Kingdom of Bosse through the basement portal, to the point that Desha had to challenge him himself.
• Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: When Daida finds out he voted against Bojji being king, he actually admonishes Domas, saying he can't be trusted after betraying his pupil like that. In an attempt to win Daida's trust, he tries to kill Bojji which only makes things worse for him.
• Tears of Joy: Upon seeing Bojji alive.
• Would Hurt a Child: While he turned into an emotional wreck afterwards, he displayed no hesitation in trying to kill Bojii under Daida's orders.

Bebin

Voiced by: Yoji Ueda (Japanese), Christopher Wehkamp (English), Mauricio Valverde (Latin American Spanish)

The Snake Charmer, a swordmaster who prefers to stick in the shadows, using his cunning before engaging in direct combat. He and Domas appear to have a rivalry which was elevated more once Domas was appointed as Bojji's instructor while Bebin was appointed as Daida's.

---

• Androcles' Lion: His good deed with a type of snake is what ultimately saved his life when facing Apeas.
• Anti-Hero: Bebin cares for Bojji and respects Daida, and is the one who sent Bojji to go to Despa in order to make Bojji able to strengthen himself. His concern over Daida when Apeas decided to assassinate Daida is a proof of a loyalty that understood his superior decision unlike Apeas whose loyalty made him blindly following Bosse and never loyal to others except Bosse.
• Animal Motifs: Snakes.
• Batman Gambit: He's prone to decisions to nudge people into taking actions that work for his purpose without outright suggesting it. He has Kage shadow Bojji, knowing that learning of Kage's disappearance will make Bojji want to leave the castle to find him, and knowing the Queen would steer him towards Despa's kingdom.
• Cool Sword: Wields a wave-bladed short sword, which fits his snake theme and contrasts Domas' BFS.
• Dark Is Not Evil: The story tries its damn best to initially present him as a dark and sinister figure, with him being the instructor of Bojji's rival, commanding an army of snakes, wielding a wicked-looking wave-bladed sword, and generally looking like bad news. However, while he sometimes acts in ways that could be considered underhanded, he is actually one of the least morally ambiguous members of the Big Four.
• Enlightened Self-Interest: One of his motivations for helping Bojji get stronger comes from someone else pointing out that Daida may one day find himself in a dangerous situation with Bojji as his only potential rescuer.
• Face of a Thug: He has the face of someone you'd instantly call the Treacherous Advisor of the story. He's actually the most loyal to Bojji of the Big Four.
• Friendly Rivalry: With Domas, one small flashback in the manga when both of them were just regular knights before becoming elites as part of the Big Four, the anime omitted that part, showing just their present rivalry in being tutors of both princes.
• Meaningful Name: Bebin is taken from hebi, the Japanese word for snake.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: Played with. It seems like he was killed by Apeas for following Daida's orders to kill him, but it's implied that he may have been planning to die or to fake his own death.
• Not Quite Dead: He's revealed to have survived his battle with Apeas and remained in hiding while his wounds heal.
• The Spymaster: His function for King Bosse. His snakes can slither unseen everywhere, and keep him informed, reporting to him or Mitsumata (who reports to him in turn). Even after spending weeks recuperating in secret in Mitsumata's cave, he's fully aware of all the goings on from the events in the castle to Bojji's training.
• Snakes Are Sinister: Subverted. His pet snakes initially present him as menacing and nefarious, yet his genuine dedication to keeping them safe demonstrates his less apparent compassion.
• Stealth Mentor: Officially he's Daida's instructor, however as the story unfolds, it's apparent he's also been training Bojji through proxies. It's implied he's the one who had Mitsumata teach Bojji how to dodge so well, and he masterminds Bojji going to train under Despa.
• Training from Hell: He subjected Daida to a mild version of this. It's ultimately shown in a positive light, as he did so because he believed in Daida.

Apeas

Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (Japanese), Luiz Bermudez (English), Bernardo Rodriguez (Latin American Spanish)

The King's lance, a tall and quiet warrior. He serves the King Bosse with great loyalty, seemingly beyond that of his duty. He personally respects Bosse's wishes and that directly makes him one of the Prince Bojji's greatest supporters from the get go.

---

• Meaningful Name: Apeas is the katakana for 'spear' backwards (sa-pe-a)
• Shipper on Deck: For Daida/Miranjo, seeing as Daida is willing to forgive Miranjo, and by extension spare her from further suffering and punishment.
• Undying Loyalty:
  • He is singlemindedly focused on enacting Bosse's will, even after the king dies.
  • Subverted as He's ultimately more loyal to Miranjo, and he helps her depose Bosse. And in turn, he shows he's more loyal to his fellow Knights, as he won't stand by and let Miranjo's forces massacre them and Hiling. Miranjo herself has to admit assuming he'd turn on his comrades, towards which he has no real resentment, is a miscalculation on her part.
  • This finally changes after much character development. Apeas returns to being loyal to Bojji over Bosse or Miranjo. As he says it, ultimately it doesn't matter that Bosse lives, he abdicated the throne on his death bed to Bojji. Ergo loyalty to the crown requires siding with Bojji.
• Weapon Specialization: He solely uses an enormous spear.
• Would Hurt a Child: Played with. He's only shown to be directly after Daida's life after he realizes that Daida wanted to have him and presumably Bojji assassinated.

Dorshe

Voiced by: Hinata Tadokoro (Japanese), Brent Mukai (English), Mauricio Malagon (Latin American Spanish)

A big, bald, muscle bound warrior, he is personally tasked with being the Queen's Shield. Dorshe is always seen with Queen Hiling, assisting her at all times.

---

• An Arm and a Leg: Miranjo's beasts bite off his foot.
• The Big Guy: He is the biggest and physically strongest of the Big Four.
• Determinator: Part of what makes him the strongest of the Big Four is that he will not stay down. Combined with being tough as a redwood tree, and the only way you're beating him in a fight is if he's stone dead.
• Eye Scream: He ends up losing his left eye against Miranjo's beasts.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: If his shields fail him, he shows to be more than capable of relying on his fists.
• Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Combined with Shield Bash; his specialty is Dual Wielding large bucklers, which he uses to block attacks and pummel enemies. He's even capable of a mean shield throw.
• The Fettered: As the strongest of the Big Four, Dorshe was a shoe-in to be Bosse's right-hand man, but he was considered too soft and morally upright to be the king's ruthless enforcer and was made Hiling's bodyguard instead.
• Meaningful Name: Dorshe is the katakana for 'shield' backwards.
• Spikes of Villainy: Subverted. He wears an armor outfitted with nasty retractable spikes to battle, but he is by no means a villain.
• The Quiet One: He rarely speaks, remaining quiet more often than the already silent Apeas.
• Token Good Teammate: Is the only one of the Big Four to never betray the kingdom or try to kill those part of it. Bosse was fully aware of this trait and appointed him to be Hiling's personal bodyguard instead of an enforcer, since he realized Dorshe would not have the heart for morally ambiguous missions.
• Undying Loyalty: When initially asked to be Hiling's bodyguard, he viewed it as a sign that he lost Bosse's trust and wasn't exactly happy with his new position. However, he eventually grew to feel this towards her as he witnessed her more awkward and kind side, and she helped him bond with Bojji. It's to the point that when Bosse gives him a Sadistic Choice to side with him or Hiling, which is dependent of whether he stops the monsters he sent to kill her or not, Dorshe chooses to protect Hiling even as he gets gravely wounded.

Magic Mirror

Warning: Unmarked Spoilers!

Magic Mirror/Lady Miranjo

^{Click here to see Miranjo in her body} 

Voiced by: Maaya Sakamoto (Japanese), Brianna Roberts (English), Mitzi Bennet (Latin American Spanish), Effry Estrada (Latin American Spanish/as Miranjo)

King Bosse's previous possession, a magic artifact who once assisted the king. It has since shifted its attention to Prince Daida, choosing him to become Bosse's successor through any means necessary. It contains the soul of Lady Miranjo, a mysterious woman who aided Bosse in his rise to power.

---

• All for Nothing: She realizes, right after Bosse and Bojji fight, that Bosse never wanted to be brought back to life, and certainly not at the cost of his first wife and his second son. And that all she did towards that goal was for nothing.
• The Beastmaster: Summon forth hellhounds to try and kill Hiling in secret and later on when laying waste to the kingdom.
• Big Bad: For the series' first Saga, as she manipulates everyone around her for her own goals.
• The Corrupter: Preyed on Daida's inferiority complex towards Bojji to manipulate him into taking the throne for himself. It's also implied that she's why Ouken is now an inhuman killing machine.
• Dark and Troubled Past: She was just a small child when she witnessed her own people get betrayed and slaughtered by the kingdom they were helping. Then the kingdom tortured and mutilated her for no other reason than unfounded paranoia and sadism. She was in such a broken state when Bosse found her that she actually attempted to kill herself even after being physically healed.
• Dragged Off to Hell: After her mirror breaks, the demon shows up to consume her soul as he promised. Miranjo ends up in a red-tinted hellscape, where the demon repeatedly gnaws on and tears apart tortured souls. Unlike most examples, this is actually temporary, as she gets rescued and has her humanity restored.
• Driven to Suicide: As a child, she tried to kill herself even after Bosse rescued her and had her healed because the trauma of what she went through was too much. She asks to be killed again even in her mirror form to free Daida and allow Bosse to pass on.
• Easily Forgiven: Definitely not by everyone, but despite manipulating Daida into becoming Bosse's host, the boy actually not only forgives her but declares his intention to marry her because he knows her story and because the ordeal allowed him to grow as a person. It's also played with, as the people who forgive her are either those like Bojii, or those who know about how much suffering she endured.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Her mortal form was an unassuming young woman with short curly hair and fair skin.
• Foil:
  • To Kage. Apeas points out the resemblance, that both Kage and Miranjo want the best for someone else (Bojji and Bosse respectively) and believe in that other person's talent, which helps that other party achieve their very best. Both are also willing to resort to underhanded tactics to help their friend (Stealing in Kage's case, and well, literally everything Miranjo does) - the difference is that Kage still possesses a moral compass, while Miranjo does not. Apeas specifically notes that Kage's support of Bojji reminds him of how Miranjo supported him during his training. Like Kage, she lost her mother to genocidal people her mother was helping.
  • To Hilling, being a twisted version of Bosses’s female magician companion; while Hilling is a nurturing former cleric who’s not afraid of being emotional and outspoken while also being self-sacrificing to those in need, Miranjo is a cold sorceress who is only out to make Bosses’s life prosperous without any regard for the others who surround him, even if Bosse himself doesn’t necessarily agree with Miranjo's methods, whose darkest thoughts festered as a result of her refusing to emotionally open up to anyone.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She suffers a full-blown emotional breakdown after she meets Queen Shiina at the river between life and death and the latter forgives her unconditionally for orchestrating her murder, as Miranjo has gone her whole life believing in only the worst of everyone except Bosse.
• Freudian Excuse: As a young girl she was blamed for the deaths of people she had nothing to do with and was horribly mutilated by her accusers. This is all but confirmed to be her Start of Darkness.
• The Four Loves: Agape twisted to its extreme, Miranjo has a complex love towards Bosse where she just wants to be free to walk alongside him without anything holding them down, like the duties of a king in his kingdom; strangely Miranjo does not step in to become his lover, despite loving him very much, also Bosse essentially saw her as his daughter when he had to raise her, and curiously he says Miranjo became a guiding mother figure when she grew older. Miranjo offers other women like Shiina and Hilling to be Bosse’s wives only to further the goals she perceives to be what’s best to Bosse in the end, and will try to dispatch these women away from his life once they served their purpose.
• Healing Hands: Like Queen Hiling, Miranjo possesses the ability to heal those she touches. She can even do it through possessed vessels.
• Love Makes You Dumb:
  • Bosse sometimes scheming to make her plans fail to go completely over her head since Bosse goes along with Miranjo's whims and makes her feel appreciated; he literally allowed her to try and kill Hiling while at the same time ensuring her safety under Miranjo's nose.
  • She realizes, in her final moments, that she never considered Bosse didn't want to be brought back to life, and certainly not at the cost of his own son.
• Meaningful Name: Miranjo can be broken out into "mira no jo" or "Mirror Girl"
• Mind over Matter: Miranjo can exert psychokinetic control over certain objects like a puppet replica of her old human form or her personal guardians, which are really hollow suits of armor. Strangely while animating her puppet form is noticeably taxing on her, controlling the suits of armors doesn't seem to affect her at all.
• My God, What Have I Done?: As she regains her conscience she spends much of her time experiencing this, that all the awfulness she did was for nothing. This culminates when she realizes Bosse didn't want to be brought back to life, and thus that all the horrors she did, was for nothing.
• Omnicidal Maniac: When Bosse asks her what she intends to do now she has deposed him and allied with the underworld criminals, she states she wishes to "bring ruin to this kingdom".
• Psycho Supporter: Miranjo is actually only interested in serving Bosse and no one else, to the point she actively plans to hurt his servants and own family if she perceives it to be what is best for Bosse in the end.
• Rescue Romance: Her obsession with King Bosse is a one sided example of this. When she was a little girl she was scapegoated, mutilated, and dismembered by the people of the kingdom of Gyakuza. Bosse saved her and had a mage heal her injuries enough for her to function independently after slaughtering her tormentors. It should also be noted that even though there are some signs that she's attracted to him, Bosse never pursues her romantically and views her as family. Miranjo appears to be fine with this, only wanting to be by his side.
• Soul Jar: It's implied that the mirror she resides in is one.
• Star-Crossed Lovers: Despa describes her and Bosse as such.
• Subordinate Excuse: The arrangement she settles herself into with Bosse. She's seemingly content with him never viewing her as a romantic partner as long as she gets to stand by his side.
• Tears of Remorse: She breaks down sobbing after Daida, one of the people she's wronged and manipulated the most, not only unconditionally forgives her but thanks her for humbling him through her actions and even declares that he wants to marry her.
• Transmutation: Her mirror can instantly become either diamond or gold to defend herself if she leaves her protector's hands. This also serves to keep the underworld bandits in line as both forms prey upon their immense greed to make them her new guardians.
• The Unreveal: The audience never gets to see the extent of her disfigurement, but it was bad enough for Daida to mistake her for a horrible monster.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Once upon a time she used to be a kindhearted little girl. Now though...
• Wicked Witch: Has shades of this as she is not only a dubious and manipulative individual but also has mysterious supernatural powers and in-depth knowledge about certain forbidden arts like Bosse's resurrection potion and the language of demons.
• Yandere: Everything she does is so that she can journey with Bosse, the only living person she clearly cares about.

Hokuro

Voiced by: Daiki Yamashita (Japanese), Bryce Papenbrook (English), Victor Kuri (Latin American Spanish)

A young guard in service of the Kingdom, Hokuro is one of those who never bought into the bad image Prince Bojji has. Hokuro was one of Bojji's earliest supporters, and he believes that the boy could become a great leader.

---

• Because You Were Nice to Me: Realised Bojji's potential as a leader when a very young Bojji left a flower at the grave of Hokuros' deceased mother.
• Meaningful Name: Hokuro means 'mole', so he's named after his beauty mark.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: Contrasting with Domas. Domas believes doing questionable things for his master, but does this for self-centered reasons, a desire to be seen as trusted and reliable. Hokuro meanwhile genuinely respects Bojji and his motives are selfless. He insists on informing Hiling of his death, knowing that his own failure to protect the prince means he'll likely be executed. Because not doing so would be further betrayal of Bojji, and he believes doing that is the only way he can offer Bojji's soul some measure of comfort.
• Nice Guy: Possibly the only uncomplicatedly kind character in the series, with the exception of Bojji himself, of course, which is why Hokuro sees Bojji as a great future leader.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: He returns to the kingdom to tell the queen that he failed in protecting Bojji and that Daida ordered his brother's assassination. Despite not having anything to do with the attack, Hiling still sentences him to death for his failure.
• Odd Friendship: Forms a complicated one with Domas after Domas' failed attempt to assassinate Bojji. Hokuro makes it clear he doesn't forgive Domas for what occurred but is grateful for Domas' training so that he can be strong enough to stop such acts from occurring again. Despite themselves, they form a genuine bond in spite of their history.

Mitsumata

Mitsumata

Voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki (Japanese), Oscar Seung (English), Carlos Segundo (Latin American Spanish)

"There are many who cherish you. Please do not forget that."

A giant 2-headed snake that is very loyal to Bojji and Bebin for showing him kindness.

---

• Always a Bigger Fish:
  • Miranjo's monsters quickly learn they are severely outmatched by a two headed snake the size of a building that can tunnel through solid Earth.
  • In turn, he's the recipient of this when Gigan arrives and shows he can just casually toss the snake about.
• Eye Scream: One of his eyes was injured when he met Bojji and Queen Hiling, resulting in a noticeable scar where the wound was healed.
• I Owe You My Life: To several people.
  • Bebin saved him from being killed by fellow soldiers, and thus Mitsumata works for him.
  • Bojji saved him when he was injured and insisted he be cared for and cause Hiling to heal him. He thus trained Bojji into becoming a master of dodging.
  • He saves Hiling and Dorshe from Miranjo's monsters, reminding her she once saved him.
• Meaningful Name: Mitsumata means "once three", referring to his now two-headed status.
• Multiple Head Case: He presumably had three heads at one point, but his middle head is gone.
• Snakes Are Sinister: Averted. Mitsumata is very friendly towards those who have helped him.

---

The Demon

The demon who Bosse made his Deal with the Devil with. He has history with Miranjo.

---

• And I Must Scream: This is the fate he subjects people to who break a promise made with him. He devours their souls and they suffer endless torment in his Mental World. His innocent child self is also in that world, and while said younger version of himself isn't directly being tortured, he's alone in there surrounded by the suffering.
• Benevolent Genie: Played with. As long as you hold up your end of the bargain, there are basically no strings attached to the wishes he grants for the wishmaker. In fact, he will only ask for something if he can't just grant the wish himself and needs some sort of catalyst. However, if you ever break a promise made with him your soul is forfeit upon death.
• Big Red Devil: Very big, very red, and very evil.
• Black Speech: Whatever language he speaks is ancient and not widely known; only Miranjo is shown to understand it.
• Cursed with Awesome: The cost for him granting wishes is that he will slowly become more monstrous and cruel with each wish he grants.
• Deal with the Devil: He's willing to grant the wishes of others, with the caveat that he takes the soul of anyone who breaks a bargain made with him.
• Evil Is Bigger: He's as big as a giant, if not bigger.
• Fangs Are Evil: Has a prominent pair that stretch straight out of his mouth.
• Glasgow Grin: His lips are constantly split from end-to-end.
• Impossibly Graceful Giant: Depsite being able to teleport freely, he has no problems really moving when he wants to despite being the size of Bosse. When Miranjo's soul is released from the mirror, the demon warps in and proceeds to leap fifty feet in the air to catch her soul.
• Mental World: This is where he tortures people who break deals they made with him.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Before Miranjo's Start of Darkness, he was basically a small child living in the forest she befriended. It turns out that this is the cost of his wish granting powers: Every time he grants a wish, he becomes more cruel and monstrous.

The Underworld

The land down below, in the depths of the earth King Desha’s family, established a kingdom to serve as a stopgap to prevent the most dangerous demons from rising to the surface and causing havoc.

Royals

King Desha

Voiced by: Yoshimitsu Shimoyama (Japanese), Gabe Kunda (English), Beto Castillo (Latin American Spanish)

2nd in the Ranking of Kings and the current ruler of the Underworld who has amassed a gigantic order of knights under his banner. King Desha and his brothers built the kingdom in the Underworld from the ashes of their late father's rule, and in his land benign monsters and humans live happily side-by-side. While a little eccentric at first glance many people respect him, accordingly to someone of his rank.

It eventually turns out he has actually been #1 King for quite some time, but has refused to claim the title out of distrust of the Gods.

---

• Amnesiacs are Innocent: It's telling how rough Desha's life has been when the second his memories are removed he goes from a Jerk with a Heart of Gold to the most kind and generous Nice Guy there is, not even killing for food and offering a peasant woman his golden scepter as thanks for giving him bread and water.
• Benevolent Boss: His knights don't seem to fear him, but do respect him.
• Carry a Big Stick: Uses a huge mace as a weapon, further cementing the primacy of raw physical strength in both the over and underground kingdoms' martial cultures.
• Dark and Troubled Past
• Green-Eyed Monster: A mild example, as it only ever drives him to harmless acts of pettiness, but it's made clear that he's insecure about his looks and jealous of his conventionally attractive brother.
• Gonk: A bit of a sore point with him.
• Groin Attack: Inflicts one on Domas when his forces invade the Kingdom of Bosse to take back the convicts, before proceeding to mock him as he writhes on the ground in pain.
• Half-Human Hybrid: He's a demigod. His father was a god, his mother was a human.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In the manga, he gives up his title and memories in exchange for restoring Ouken's sanity.
• Hero of Another Story: Him and his younger brothers liberated the Underworld from the tyrannical rule of their father. Desha, being the oldest, lead the charge and was appointed king.
• Heartbroken Badass: Flashbacks in the manga show that him and Ouken were really close, and between him and Despa, the latter's fall from grace struck Desha the hardest.
• I Did What I Had to Do: Had to take part in very underhanded actions in times of war, in the advance to subdue the Underworld, Desha joined hands with horrible mercenaries and he killed a gigante infant to make a point; terrible deeds that paved way to the current peaceful Underworld kingdom and the Order of the Underworld who are valiant knights rather than amoral bandits.
• It's Personal: Miranjo offends him greatly by breaking into his kingdom and stealing away Ouken to use as a Meat Puppet.
• Jerkass: While genuinely dedicated to his role as king and protecting the surface, it's hard to call Desha a Nice Guy. He's rude and dismissive towards those he sees as weaker than him, isn't above humiliating those who challenge him such as Domas after kicking him between the legs, and he's noted to commit petty acts due to his envy of his brother's good looks.
  • The latter point puts him firmly in Jerkass Woobie territory later on when it's revealed he looks almost exactly like his tyrant father.
• Meaningful Name: His name is an anagram for Hades, the king of the underworld in Classical Mythology.
• Morality Pet: His younger brothers greatly moderate his worst instincts. Despa convinces him to halt his invasion of Bosse' kingdom, and remembering how Ouken wanted to make the Knights of the Underworld into an honorable order causes him to extend a recruitment offer to Gigan.
• Must Make Amends: Desha's rulership where benign native denizens of the Underworld live along humans in his kingdom is in due part as a mean for him to atone for the amoral acts he had committed in the warring times to subdue the wild Underworld; Desha was inspired by his younger brother Ouken when the prince was still sane, to form the Order of the Underworld, and later recruit Gigan into becoming part of it, also to atone for the horrible fate Gigan's race suffered. His employment of a The Needs of the Many mentality during the war is also what ultimately drove a wedge in his and Despa's relationship and while the results wound up bountiful in the end, the trauma still runs deep within the royal family.
• Oni: While not stated to be one, he resembles one in some aspects. Big and burly, generally unpleasant in both looks and personality, armed with a kanabo and powerful magic, and rules in the Underworld.
• Psychic Link: He is able to communicate with his younger brother Despa over vast distances, simply by covering his mouth with his hand and talking to it. It is unclear whether he's using some kind of spell, or utilizing the power they share as siblings (Despa can talk back to him using the same method).
• Shock and Awe: He can control lightning, smiting Ouken after Despa lets him know of his location.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: He's an adept leader who lives surrounded by his loyal followers, but is very insecure about his looks. Meanwhile, his little brother leads a more solitary existence, is known for training leaders but not being one himself, is handsome and knows it.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Desha resembles his tyrant demonic father the most, ironically since he was the leading heir in trying to rid the Underworld of his father's murderous rule.
• Troll: While he isn't genuinely evil, he loves humiliating those he sees as weaker than himself and getting under people's skin.

Prince Despa

Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese), Christopher Sabat (English), José Antonio Macías (Latin American Spanish)

King Desha's younger brother, notorious for being a wise prince but Desha is somewhat antagonistic towards him, losing his calm whenever he is mentioned.

---

• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: A money-hungry fop of a man obsessed with his looks. But also a keen strategist, great teacher and good person at heart.
• Cool Teacher: Unlike almost everyone else, who writes Bojji off as a lost cause due to his lack of strength and how unlike his father he is, Despa actually realizes that this doesn't stop Bojji from having great potential, continuing to teach him even after learning of his handicap.
• Half-Human Hybrid: He's a demigod. Mother was human, father was a god. Unlike his elder brother, Despa inherited little supernatural abilities, and is a normal human in physical prowess.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Seems vain and materialistic upon his first meeting with Bojji and Kage, but soon proves himself to be one of the few characters able to see past Bojji's disability and lack of physical strength, agreeing to teach him.
• Meaningful Name: Despa is the same katakana as his brother Desha, just with a diacritic to change 'ha' to 'pa'. Both names contain 'des', which is katakana for 'death'.
• Mentor Archetype: He's known for being able to train people to become competent leaders.
• Spanner in the Works: He directly drives the plot by being the one to teach Bojji how to fight, being Ouken's former mentor and unintentionally driving Desha to accept the 1st Rank to save their brother by failing to claim the Demon's wish.
• The Strategist: He has a keen understanding of people's strengths and how they will fare against one another. He correctly warns the captain of the Knights of the Underworld that he cannot defeat Ouken in combat - and indeed, Ouken kills all the Captain's men, and almost takes the Captain out before he's struck down by Desha's lightning. He also is correct that Bojji's fighting style will not work on Ouken. He also warns Desha that Bojji would be able to defeat him if the two were to clash, something that makes Desha pause and reconsider.
• Touch Telepathy: He has the ability to detect a person's strengths, points of potential, and weaknesses by holding their hands.
• Training from Hell: His training of Bojji is grueling. To the point where Bojji comes out of the training room each day and immediately collapses, Kage needing to drag him to his bed using a cart.
• The Unfavorite: It's explicitly mentioned in the manga that his father did not give two shits about his sons until Ouken was born. Despa drew the short end of the stick looking like his mother and inheriting little to no power.
• Weak, but Skilled: While his brother was blessed with great strength, Despa is an Instant Expert and can learn most combat techniques at a glance. The problem is that his body is too weak for him to properly utilise combat techniques for himself, meaning the most he can do is train others in what he learns.

King Satun

The former ruler of the Underworld and father of Desha, Despa and Ouken. He was an old, dying god who fed on the lives of his people in a desperate bid for immortality.

---

• Abusive Parents: Enough so that his own sons did not feel the slightest bit of remorse bludgeoning him to death. It's implied he killed their mother after Ouken was born and the manga explicitly states that he gave little to no craps about either Despa or Desha - calling them both "utter failures". He furthermore groomed Ouken as his "golden child" in a bid to take over his body once his immortality manifested.
• Archnemesis Dad: To Desha in the past.
• Dirty Coward: As he was dying on his throne he tried to gaslight Desha and Ouken into letting him live, claiming they could not survive without him. When that doesn't work he tries to use his Parental Favoritism of Ouken to turn him on Desha - not realizing Ouken hates him even more than Desha does.
• Harmful to Minors: Doesn't get better than bringing your young sons to watch you and your god-buddies slaughter humans for sport.
• I Am a Humanitarian: He went one step further and ate his own subjects.
• Immortality Seeker: First by consuming human blood and flesh, and later by raping a human woman in an attempt to birth a god-adjacent child whose body he could possess.
• Meaningful Name: Of the Genius Bonus variety. "Satun" sounds like "Saturn", a Roman god of time later conflated with a related figure in Greek mythology, the titan Cronos. Guess what Cronos (and by extension Saturn) is best known for? Devouring his own children◊, and eventually getting killed by one of them, who just so happens to be the god of thunder and lightning, mirroring Desha's powers.

Order of the Underworld

The massive legion of knights under King Desha's rule, their strength in numbers, and individual capacity is tremendous, feared as being capable of subjugating an entire country.

The Captain

Voiced by: Shōmaru Zōza (Japanese), Jeremy Inman (English)

The leader of the Order of the Underworld, he is taller than the already hulking knights, and is a spear bearer like the others; despite the imposing appearance he seems to be a calm and composed individual.

---

• Hidden Depths: Though seemingly subservient to King Desha, he's good friends with his estranged brother Despa and often keeps him up to date on governmental affairs King Desha has not bothered to inform him on. He furthermore helps Bojji get to Despa despite Desha exiling him, is visibly disturbed by Desha's plan to utilize the prison break to invade Bosse's kingdom, and stays behind to bodyguard Despa and help him cure Ouken even when the rest of his men have been called to retreat. It's heavily implied in the manga that he used to be Ouken's apprentice and has been fighting tooth and nail to uphold the man's ideals in his absence, hoping to reunite the three brothers again once Ouken his restored.
• Honor Before Reason: Despa warns him to not face Ouken, as he's no match for him. When he sees Ouken butchering civilians, he decides he can't afford to wait for Despa to arrive, and decides to take on Ouken himself rather than retreat and wait. Sure enough, this doesn't go well.
• Large and in Charge: The Captain is bigger than his already tall subordinates in the order, naturally he is their leader as well seemly the strongest; his strength isn't of the mindless brute variety however, he and the order act like reasonable soldiers.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: He sometimes acts behind his king's back to lessen some of the damage done by his occasional Jerkass behavior; such as directing Bojji to Despa when Desha throws him out of the castle, keeping Despa up to date on governmental affairs and staying behind to defend Bosse's kingdom's citizens against Ouken ( even though he has been ordered to conquer the place while it is in turmoil.

The Convicts

Six extremely dangerous convicted criminals who were incarcerated in King Desha's Underworld dungeon, they were freed by Miranjo's machinations in order to further her ambitions within the Kingdom of Bosse.

Ouken the Sword King of the Underworld

Voiced by: Koji Yusa (Japanese), Shawn Gann (English)

The founder and former commander of the Order of the Underworld. He lost his mind some time prior to the series, prompting his older brother King Desha to lock him up in his dungeon for his people's safety.

After Desha sacrifices his own memory to restore Ouken's sanity and disappears, Despa appoints Ouken as the new King of the Underworld.

---

Immortal Ouken

• Amnesia Missed a Spot: Used for dramatic effect when he starts remembering Despa's combat advice as Dorsche chokes him, prompting a Villainous Second Wind.
• And I Must Scream: Bosse smashes him into a puddle of sludge, compresses the remains into a ball, then shoves it deep into a boulder so Ouken has no room to properly regenerate. When he's being transported in this state back to the Underworld, he's freed by Kingbo, who then decapitates him. His head is then thrown miles away, where it's eaten by a massive fish.
• The Dragon: To Desha in the past and Miranjo in the present. His role is a little downplayed due to the fact that he lacks rational thought and the ability to act of his own volition (save for sating baser animalistic needs), but due to his immortality and lack of ability to feel remorse, once Miranjo sicks him on the main cast he quickly ramps up an absolutely massive victim count in Bosse's Kingdom. He is the primary threat for a whopping 80 chapters in the manga (10 episodes in the anime) before he is put out of commition, after which the rest of the Big Bad Duumvirate go down quick.
• Dramatic Unmask: Bojji manages to shatter his faceplate, revealing that he still has his handsome face, save for how he now has Empty Eyes.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: He doesn't speak, save for letting out creepy, rasping laughter.
• Expressive Mask: The eye holes of his faceplate change shape to show his emotions. This is more justified than usual since his armor seems to be practically part of his body at this point.
• Fallen Hero: Before he gained his immortality, he was a Prince of the Underworld, displaying a strong sense of duty and compassion, and the founder of the Order of the Underworld. Now, he's just a sadistic killer.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Like his siblings, he's a demigod. Ouken inherited none of his father's supernatural powers, but did inherit great physical abilities. And later gained immortality.
• Healing Factor: Due to his immortality. Even if his limbs are chopped off, they'll eventually reattach themselves. This even applies to his sword!
• Heroic Second Wind: While losing a fight against the Big Four, he experiences a Villainous Second Wind upon remembering Despa's advice, whereupon he suddenly becomes much deadlier.
• Immortality Immorality: Despa believes that gaining immortality is what caused him to lose his humanity. He also implies that Miranjo is the reason behind Ouken's current state, though later it is revealed that it was actually probably the fault of their father, a deity of the underworld who wanted to achieve immortality.
• Immortality Begins at Twenty: Well, 25 specifically for Ouken.
• Implacable Man: Absolutely nothing can hurt him permanently, due to his instant regeneration. He can even recover immediately from the combined efforts of the Big Four, putting up a grueling fight despite being outnumbered 4 to 1.
• Logical Weakness: The good(?) news? His immortality lets him regenerate from pretty much anything. The bad news? He still needs room. When he recovers from Bosse smashing him into paste and crumpling him up into a ball, Bosse's response is to crumple him up again and then shove him inside a giant boulder that he then seals up, leaving Ouken as an agonized meat cube.
  • On top of this, his regeneration is only near instant, and requires the regenerating parts to be nearby. Kingbo managed to server his head by slicing off the regenerating part from his helm and then throwing it into a distant lake, leaving Ouken's body without a head.
• Man of Kryptonite: Bojji's swordsmanship relies on hitting weak points to immobilize or (if direly necessary) kill an opponent. Ouken's immortal body has no weak points. Bojji also cannot destroy his weapon or his armor, since they are essentially integrated into Ouken's body. While any swordsman would struggle against Ouken's immortality, Bojji has it particularly bad since he can't even temporarily sever his limbs.
• Muggle Born of Mages: He is the only one of the three brothers who initially did not seem to have inherited any of his father's magic at all, while Desha is a powerful spellcaster and Despa seems capable of telepathy at the very least.
• No-Sell: His unique biology makes him immune to Bojji's rapier knock out hits.
• One-Man Army: Especially when mortal and sane. He is capable of fighting on legions of trained soldiers on his own without taking so much of a scratch. It gets to the point where even the Gods fear his wrath.
• The Paralyzer: He has some kind of mysterious, seemingly magical ability that allows him to paralyze people at a distance, without ever making contact. It's actually not magical - he is actually hurling tiny, almost invisible pieces of his armor with enough precision to hit pressure points that cause the body to lock up. If you're unlucky enough to piss him off, he will use this to immobilize you before slowly, very slowly making you bleed out to death.
• Punny Name: His name is a pun on Ō (king) and ken (sword), referencing his title as Sword King.
• Sadist: He deliberately strikes non-vital areas so he can prolong his victims' suffering as they die.
• Sanity Slippage: When he first discovers his inability to die, he pleads to Desha to do something about it before he forgets who he is. Shortly, Ouken starts wondering what people feel when they die and decides to check it up close.
• Swallowed Whole: He's subject to this by a desperate Kage. Ouken's response is to chop his way out, very nearly killing Kage.
• Tragic Villain: He was once The Paragon of the Underworld, turning the current Order of the Underworld from a band of ruthless mercenaries into noble knights, and serving as both Desha and Despa's close confidan. But the immortality he inherited from his father came at the cost of his soul and he was left a feral, Empty Shell by age 25. While fighting with Bojji it's heavily implied that his mind is locked in a constant loop of fight-or-flight.
• Weak to Magic: Downplayed, in that he's only "weak" to magic in the same way Superman is - he is not affected any more than the average person, and magic still can't kill him. However, physical attacks just don't do anything to him at all unless they're from Bosse. Even severed limbs are barely an inconvenience. Meanwhile, Desha's Shock and Awe blasts are one of the few things that are able to reliably put him out of commission for at least few minutes.
• Weakened by the Light: Hiling shining a blinding spell into his face makes Ouken run away with his tail between his legs. Up until this point he'd been a silent killing machine. Similarly the flash of a lightning bolt landing in front of him stuns and disturbs him.
  • It's removed from the anime due to Adaptation Distillation, but the manga confirms that he wasn't so much "weakened by the light" as he was terrified of it - reminded of the lightning strike Desha used to capture him in the past.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: Coupled with a dose of With Great Power Comes Great Insanity. His immortality is a curse that caused him to lose his mind. He was aware of how this would happen after he developed his immortality and desperately asked his brothers to find a way to cure him.
  • It's implied the curse, while granting him immortality, makes him bask in the mortality of others by having him derive pleasure from providing slow and painful deaths - effectively weaponizing his once pacifist swordfighting techniques that he learnt from Despa.
• The Worf Effect: Ouken's on-screen victim count is absurd, including several named heroic characters. Then he runs into Bosse himself, who proceeds to demonstrate exactly why he's the World's Strongest Man.
• Youngest Child Wins: Ouken is Desha and Despa's baby brother, while their father was a demonic looking troll, Ouken is the most conventionally attractive member of the family, even more than Despa.

Mortal Ouken

• A Child Shall Lead Them: His brothers raised him into becoming a killing machine on the battlefield and it's implied he was only in his mid-to-late teens when Desha started appointing him as commander over his knights.
• A Father to His Men: The Order of the Underworld would die for Ouken, the Captain even crying tears of joy when Ouken returns to his position.
• Combat Pragmatist: The "mysterious" sword arts that Desha claims he possesses involves a great deal of Obfuscating Stupidity, pretending he is weak and terrified and then immediately curb-stomping his opponent once they let their guard down.
• Hunk: Even more so than Domas and the author does not let you forget it. Beneath his visor Ouken is probably the most conventionally attractive character in the series and at the end of some real fanservice to boot.
• Parental Favoritism: He was his father's "golden child", having been born with what his father considered to be the perfect body. Though it is implied this was only because his father had plans to possess him when his sons eventually turned against him.
• Prince Charming: He even looks the part.
• The Paragon: He was everything Desha wanted to be as a King and served as the Living Emotional Crutch to both his brothers.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking: The leader of the world's most famed order of knights. Despa mentions that even with his sanity intact and mortality returned, Bojji would be no match for him.

Kingbo the Fallen Royalty

Voiced by: Daichi Endo (Japanese), Tyson Rinehart (English)

The disgraced former prince of the latest 1st in the Ranking of Kings, Kingbo succeeded his father as the king but for some reason his old man went back to their kingdom and slaughtered his entire family and subjects; after this traumatizing experience Kingbo lost all semblance of righteousness, becoming a petty criminal.

---

• The Worf Effect: He shows a glimpse of how strong he is when he bullies the other convicts to claim Bosse's throne, but is cut down by Ouken almost immediately afterward and slowly bleeds out just to show how terrifying Ouken is.

Zokku the Bandit Leader

Voiced by: Tsuguo Mogami (Japanese), David Wald (English)

A shrewd bandit, Zokku is a infamous criminal with a cunning head over his shoulders, he favors his way with words and scheming rather than take direct physical action at first, preferring to let his obstacles fall amongst themselves if possible.

---

• I Surrender, Suckers: Will feign surrender or conciliation to get close to an enemy or make them lower their guard. It almost kills Apeas, and would've killed Bojji if he wasn't immune to poisons.
• Master Poisoner: He breathes out poison gas onto targets he tricks into letting him get close.
• Only Sane Man: Of the convicts. While Ouken is unstable, and the others are selfish and apathetic to Miranjo's wishes, Zokku is the only one who pays attention to situations before acting. He'll also try and deescalate conflicts between his comrades.
• Pragmatic Villainy: He'll negotiate or drop his weapon and surrender if he thinks it'll let him live. He's also keenly aware of when an opponent outclasses him and avoids antagonizing such.

Gigan the Monster of Steel

Voiced by: Hayato Kaneko (Japanese), Bill Butts (English)

One of the Underworld denizens who were conquered after the great effort of the Royal Family to push most of the underworld into servitude, from his perspective demonkind was being attacked by horrible humans; at the end of the day Gigan is just a simple minded demon without particularly evil ambitions, he just goes with the flow.

---

• The Brute: Among the convicts, he is presented as the least intelligent but possessing the most raw strength.
• Defeat Means Friendship: He is a deadly threat to Hiling and her bodyguards until Bojji defeats him. After that, he swears his loyalty to Bojji, recognizing his ability.
• Team Killer: He was originally a mercenary hired by Desha to help in his revolt against his father. But upon seeing Desha's other mercenaries torture a gigante infant to lure the gigante army into a trap, and his people being burnt alive, Gigan understandably snapped.
• Token Good Teammate: While the other convicts are all unrepentant criminals, Gigan's crime (turning on Desha and his mercenaries) was an act of righteous anger and compassion for his fellow demons.

Black the Brunet Assassin

Voiced by: Kentaro Tone (Japanese), Mike McFarland (English)

A nasty assassin, Black has no need for playing façades, he is a crook through and through; Black gladly accepted Miranjo’s offer but he swears no loyalties, the man is out only for himself and will change his mind at the drop of a hat to instigate chaos.

---

• The Sociopath: Obsessed with killing people and very open about how he's just there to kill people. He's the first to try and betray Miranjo - something he does twice.

Red the Copperhead Assassin

Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto (Japanese), Nazeeh Tarsha (English)

Black’s fellow assassin, Red isn’t a man of many words but his cruelty is easy to perceive, often giggling whenever he assists Black in their joint pursuit of disorderly conduct.

---

• Flat Character: Doesn't talk, or show any motivation beyond just going along with Black's ideas for carnage.
• The Sociopath: Goes along with Black, though Red only chuckles and never talks.

Other

Houma

A kingdom of magic users. Miranjo and her family originally lived here.

---

• The Archmage: A whole kingdom of them, to the point that they could challenge the Gods with their power. The strongest of them was actually killed by Bosse in a duel, prompting him to take part in the war in recompense.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: They brought prosperity to Gyakuza, uplifting them from a desert village to a prosperous kingdom. Gyakuza repays them by selling Houma out to the gods.
• Punny Name: Mahou, the Japanese word for magic, written backwards.
• Rage Against the Heavens: They fought a war against the gods for their cruel treatment of mortals.

Gyakuza

A kingdom that once neighboured the Kingdom of Houma, who they allied with during their war with the gods.

---

• Asshole Victim: Bosse slaughters the entire kingdom in response to what they did to Miranjo. It might be a bit extreme considering Bosse's rampage also took the lives of women and children, but considering that seemingly everyone was on board with horrifically mutilating a little girl out of unfounded paranoia, it's hard to find Bosse's response disproportionate in the slightest.
• The Farmer and the Viper: They repaid Houma's kindness by selling them out to the gods and even torturing one of their children.
• Freudian Excuse: It's noted that the kingdom for ages was exploited by tyrants and its neighbors, and this is part of why they turned against the agents of Houma who tried to uplift them. Of course, Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse, as they took their paranoia to incredibly monstrous extents.
• Hate Sink: In a story where even the biggest Jerkasses have Hidden Depths that show that they're better people than they first appear, Gyakuza's inhabitants stand out as a nation of heartless monsters who'll take advantage of any kindness extended towards them, backstab anyone for their own survival and torture anyone to feel a sense of superiority.
• Sadist: Whenever they and Houma got the upper hand on the god's in the war, they took great pleasure in torturing any prisoners of war they captured despite their allies' protests. Then there's how they tortured Miranjo...
• Ungrateful Bastard: While it was with the caveat of helping with their war against the gods, Houma did bring greater prosperity to Gyakuza with their arrival, with their village going from what looks like a desert village to a more prosperous looking city with stone streets and proper houses. Gyakuza thanked their new allies by always running at the first sign of trouble, pinning all the times they tortured prisoners of war on them, and eventually betraying them to the gods. This is especially prevalent with Miranjo's mother, who always treated them with kindness, and they responded by personally murdering her during their betrayal and going as far to torture her innocent daughter for no reason.
• Would Hurt a Child: After murdering her mother, they tortured Miranjo, cut her hands off, mutilated her face, and chained her to a post in the middle of town to hurl taunts and insults at for no other reason than petty sadism. This bit them in the ass when Bosse saw this.
