A sorcerer lacking in both talent and pedigree died in a duel, and was later reincarnated as the 7th Prince of his kingdom, Saloum, as Lloyd. With noble blood and talent, and all the time in the world as the furthest from the line of inheritance, Lloyd can learn and master whatever magic he pleases.
An anime adaptation was released by Tsumugi Akita Animation Lab in April 2024.
Tropes in this show include:
- Admiring the Abomination: Lloyd, in his previous life, is both struck down and talked down by another sorcerer in class and power. Instead of swearing revenge, he wishes to be reborn as a noble himself just to experience such power. While reincarnated as seventh in line for the Saloum throne, he takes advantage of this so he can study on magic with his already high prowess.
- Affectionate Parody: Not the show as a whole, as it neither parodies anything nor breaks new ground within the isekai genre, but two characters do both parody light novel titles in the heat of combat.
- Comedic Shotacon: Sylpha and the other maids adore the underaged Lloyd a bit too much. Lloyd, however, cares more about mastering magic than them all put together.
- Corrupt Church: Gitane, the Pope, and thus the church as a whole largely function as an antagonistic faction shortly after the Lodost situation is resolved.
- Defeat Means Friendship: How Lloyd became friends with Grimoire. Notably defied with Pazuzu and Guisarme.
- Demonic Possession: Majin are capable of doing this when they are in proximity to another human. Grim attempts it on Lloyd but Lloyd's absurdly dense magical power makes it impossible.
- Guisarme, however, plays this straight on Jade and the entire kingdom of Lodost. They later attempt it on the Asssassin's Guild.
- Fanservice: The manga is chock full of it, with Lloyd himself being a frequent target of it.
- Foregone Conclusion: When the true depths of Lloyd's magical power becomes apparent, it becomes clear that the fights he involves himself in are decided the moment he steps in to the ring.
- Holy Burns Evil: It isn't brought up until chapter 43, but Holy Magic works on demons, undead, etc.
- Humanoid Abomination: Played for Laughs as much as it is Played Straight, but the absurd size and density of Lloyd's magical power makes Grimoire view him as this. Guisarme later see him the same way, realizing how outclassed he is.
- Male Gaze: Tao, Sylphia, Ren, and even Lloyd are all subject to being draw and portrayed this way. Especially notable for Tao, whose introduction shows off her shapely ass.
- One Cast Member per Cover: The manga features a different character on each volume cover.
- Power Incontinence: The main flaw behind the magical abilities the assassins guild that Lloyd encounters; being born with a unique magical power does not mean you know how to use it. Indeed, most (if not all) of the members are outcasts because they couldn't control their magic, which in some cases could lead to innocent deaths if they weren't careful. At most they've learned how the power works and can be triggered, but the effects are generally indiscriminate and can as harmful to themselves or their allies if they're caught in a group battle. Lloyd changes the equation completely, after hearing their story, by inscribing a magical tattoo on each member that corrects the issue, granting them near full control of their abilities and the chance to live a proper life, for which they swear Undying Loyalty to Lloyd.
- Power Levels: Established specifically with Majin, who rank from 1 (highest) to 10 (lowest). Pazuru is rank 8, and Grim is rank 3. There is, however, a rank higher than Rank 1. Demon, a class higher than Majin. Even a hundred-strong army of 100 Rank 1 Majins can't fight a single Demon.
- R-Rated Opening: Lloyd's previous life is shown dying in a duel, both in the start of the manga and anime.
- You Mean "Xmas": The Holy Birthday.
- You Shall Not Pass!: Sylphia, when a Majin threatened Lloy's safety. not that he needs it.
