* CoolOldGuy: Despite of all his accomplishments that made him a living legend, he is still a surprisingly humble individual and has an overall pleasant demeanor.
** After the carriage Shin's biological family was traveling in was attacked by a demonoid, Merlin also took it up to himself to grant Shin's deceased parents a proper burial, despite of never (successfully) discovering who they were. There he found Shin who miraculously survived (possibly thanks to the rain). Needless to say, Merlin adopted, ([[HandsOffParenting clumsily]]) raised, and loved Shin like he was Merlin's own biological grandchild.
* EpicFail: Forgetting to teach Shin the most basic social skills.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: In his younger days he was quite the PrettyBoy.
* RedBaron: "Crimson Devil King", "God of Destruction", "Hero".
* TookALevelInKindness: In his youth, Merlin used to be rather violent and didn't care to solve things peacefully. Decades later, his present self is pretty much a CoolOldGuy.
* WizardBeard: Shorter than most examples.
* WizardClassic: Only lacks a hat.
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YusakuYara
Shin's adoptive grandfather. In the past he became renowned for stopping the first demonoid together with Melinda.
----
* AmicableExes: In spite of their divorce, he and Melinda are in good terms. Melinda also comes him to visit every now and then, effectively becoming something of a grandmother figure to Shin.
* BadassGrandpa: Even though he aged, he is still an expert mage.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuusukeKobayashi
!Shin Wilford
The main protagonist of the series. Initially your average Japanese salary man, he died in a traffic accident and was reincarnated in another world... where his new parents were killed by a demonoid while riding in a chariot. The then-toddler Shin was found by Merlin Wolford who raised him as his own grandson with the help of his ex-wife Melinda, growing up to become an astonishingly versatile mage. [[{{Understatement}} Too bad Merlin kinda forgot to teach Shin certain social and worldly skills...]]
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Thank to his lackluster social skills he is nigh-incapable of normal social interactions, resulting in many endearing moments.
** Then there is [[https://shokugekis.tumblr.com/post/184089832410 this gem]]. An adorable dork indeed.
* BadassAdorable: Was this ever since his early childhood and continuous to be one as a teenager.
* BareYourMidriff: [[https://kenja-no-mago.fandom.com/wiki/Light_Novel_Volume_7 The cover of the Volume 7 of the Light Novel series]] is a textbook example. Male (Isekai) protagonists are otherwise relatively rarely seen less-then-fully-clothed on Light Volume covers.
* {{Bishounen}}: He even goes as far as to describe himself "like a thin handsome fine youth, and could almost be mistaken as a face of a woman’s."
* IdiotHair: Rather fitting for his personality.
* KungFuWizard: Good enough in close combat to take down three fully grown men without magic, demonstrating his skill at hand-to-hand combat.
* MagicKnight: Aside from his magic training, he is also pretty good at swordsmanship.
* MrFanservice: Granted, almost all Isekai protagonists tend to be conventionally attractive.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Became this by the age of fifteen.
* PurpleIsPowerful: His hair is purple and he is among the strongest characters in the cast.
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: The whole premise of the series is Shin learning to cast incredibly powerful magic at an early age, yet completely flunking at the most basic social skills thanks to Merlin forgetting to teach them to him.
* ShirtlessScene: The very first shot of the opening theme.
