Kage, the last survivor of an infamous assassin clan, grew up isolated as well. Follow Bojji's coming-of-age as he meets new friends and begins his journey to become a King!

## Summary

Kage manages to evade the soldiers and returns to the man's by the morning. He is upset that Kage returned and kicks him out. In the evening, the man goes to a tavern and gets into a fight. He is stabbed and he bleeds to death, regretting his cruelty to Kage.

In the morning, Kage tries to find the man but is told he was killed and buried. Kage is saddened and sets out again.

Kage tells Bebin that, soon after, King Bo died from an illness. Chancellor Geslan, the one who had been closest to him, became king and thus the Kingdom of Geslan came into being. He insists that he only wanted to support Bojji.

Bebin asks Bojji about Kage and Bojji explains that he's a friend. He says that he is relaying a message and that Kage will be going on a long journey and will never see Bojji again.

Bojji is saddenened but considers that Bebin may try to harm Kage instead of Kage having abandoned him. He searched the castle for him.
Kage's Mother

**Kage's Mother** (カゲ母, *Kage Haha*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption.

## Appearance

As a member of the Shadow clan, she appears as a standard, adult shadow with reddish brown eyes and long eyelashes. She uses metal claws while fighting.

## Personality

She appears to be a loving and caring mother for her son. She is also an assassin and claims to "assassinate anyone, regardless if they're women, children, elderly, or even sick people."

## Plot

Little is known of her backstory besides that she was an assassin for the Bo Kingdom. She had her son, Kage, and raised him lovingly while continuing to work.

   When Kage was a child, the Shadow clan was annihilated supposedly after someone tried to murder their lord. As they run through the city streets, members of the clan are stabbed with spears. Soldiers continue to pursue them as they flee outside the city and Kage's mother instructs him to continue to the Poison Forest. A member of the Light clan casts a spell that illuminates the area, exposing Kage and his mother. She attempts to stall them as Kage flees but he mocks that their detached force probably already got him. They stab her to death and begin searching for Kage.

   A count's daughter, Poise, hides Kage in her stuffed spider and misdirects the soldiers to continue on to the forest. Kage is almost found when he sees his mother's corpse on Geslan's sword, but Poise covers for him and he manages to escape.

## Summary

Dormas signs to Bojji, who in turn looks horrified. Bojji stops dodging and is savagely beaten by Daida. Kage rushes to stop him but Apis throws a spear before Daida lands another blow. Dormas declares Daida the winner. Many of the soldiers are horrified, with one noting that all his bones are broken and Hokuro calling for a doctor. When Apis retrieves his spear, Dormas says that he can't explain but he allowed the fight for a reason.

After the bout, Daida asks Bebin what Dormas said to Bojji. Bebin says that he said to "face him and strike properly." Daida laughs that Bojji won't be able to stand for the rest of his life or be king. He asks Bebin to gather people to help him find people good at dodging so he can practice.

Bojji lies in bandages and Dormas watches him and Kage hides under the bed. Hilling and Drushi suddenly enter the room.

### Anime Debut

**Mehhi** (メッヒ, *Mehhi*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking*. She is the princess of the Kuhya Kingdom, and one of the first people Bojji and Kage encounter as they explore the wider world.

## Appearance

Mehhi is a young adult woman of average height. She has dark, blue-black hair, fair skin, and black eyes.

She prefers to wear a magenta dress with white pants underneath, black boots, and a fur-fringed metal gorget around her neck.

## Personality

Mehhi appears to be a relatively good-natured, if mercurial, and whimsical young woman. Though she quickly jumped to conclusions upon meeting Bojji and Kage, she was equally quick to empathize with them, and invited them to be guests of her kingdom.

She also seems to have a childish crush on Commander Sadi

## Plot

Mehhi is the princess of the low-ranked Kuhya Kingdom, Bojji and Kage's first stop on their new journey across the wider world.

Though her kingdom is not particularly powerful, both Mehhi and her father appear to be kind rulers who look out for the public good. This, in turn, has attracted many villagers to the kingdom in spite of its size.

Mehhi first encountered Bojji in the gardens outside of the Kuhya Kingdom castle. Misunderstanding Bojji's situation, Mehhi believed he had been exiled from the Bosse Kingdom after a power struggle, and immediately invited both he and Kage to be guests of the Kuhya Kingdom.

Later after Ringi betrays the kingdom one of his mission is to kill Mehhi but she gets saved by Commander Sadi and by the man in mullets before that happens.

## Relationships

### King Kuhya

Mehhi's father and current king of the Kuhya Kingdom. She and Kuhya appear to have a very good relationship.

### Bojji

Mehhi befriended Bojji very quickly, and was enormously sympathetic when she mistakenly believed he had been exiled from his kingdom. It seems she wanted to grant Bojji asylum in the Kuhya Kingdom, not realizing this was completely unnecessary.

### Sadi

Mehhi has complicated feelings regarding Sadi, but appreciates that Sadi tends to play the villain for other peoples' benefit. Consequently, she trusts Sadi with her life.

## Trivia

* Mehhi's name is an anagram of the the Japanese word *hime* (姫), meaning princess.

Sheena

* Adventurer Sheena
* Queen Sheena

**Sheena** (シーナ, *Shina*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. She was the first queen of the Bosse Kingdom, wife of King Bosse, and the mother of Bojji. She died before the start of the series, killed during an attempted coup of the Bosse Kingdom.

## Appearance

Sheena was an adult giantess with long and curly black hair. Bojji bears a strong resemblance to her.

As an adventurer, Sheena wore yellow leather armor over a brown fur shirt (with additional fur around the collar), red shorts, sandals, and metal bracers around her forearms and shins. As Queen Sheena seemed to favor various types of dresses, but would don her old adventurer gear for battle.

## Personality

Sheena was a caring mother who deeply loved Bojji, and is remembered fondly by the people who knew her.

## Plot

Similar to her future husband, Sheena was a giant adventurer, roaming the countryside and presumably taking on quests to make a living. Sheena in particular seemed to relish fighting other male adventurers to prove her superiority, which is how she came to meet another giant adventurer named Bosse.

Rather than fight, Bosse professed his desire to start a family with Sheena, catching the young adventurer off guard. Sheena was instantly taken with him, and after a brief courtship the two conceived a child, Bojji. Unbeknownst to Sheena, Bosse had made a deal with a devil to steal his firstborn's strength and vitality, and Bojji was born small and weak. Sheena adored Bojji, and doted on the young prince in his early years.

Unfortunately Sheena met an untimely end during Miranjo's first invasion of the Bosse Kingdom, killed by massive arrows while defending Bojji from the onslaught. Sheena begged Miranjo to spare Bojji, but successfully managed to defend the young prince on her own.

## Abilities

### Giant

As a giantess, Sheena presumably had all of the traits of the giant race. This includes greater stature, immense physical strength, and immunity to poison.

### Adventurer

Before meeting Bosse Sheena was a storied adventurer in her own right. She seemed to favor fighting with her bare hands, and wore extremely light armor, the only metal pieces being her bracers and shin guards.

## Trivia

* Sheena's name likely derives from the Japanese word for expressing that someone is kind (優しいな, *Yasashii na*).
* Giant women like Sheena are only able to have a single child in their entire lifetime. King Bosse believes this has doomed his race to extinction.
Red

**Red** (レッド, *Reddo*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. "The Copperhead Assassin" Red is a notorious assassin and criminal. He was imprisoned in the Underworld until being freed by Miranjo.

## Appearance

Red is an average-height man with a squat build, a square face, and curly red hair piled on top of his head in a triangular shape. He wears purple-gray heavy plate armor with a dark maroon fringe around the neck. His preferred weapon is a large, two-handed club.

## Personality

Red does not appear to speak, and seems to be either slow or very reserved. In spite of this, he has a vicious and savage disposition, and doesn't think twice before attempting to murder his benefactors.

Red seems to follow the lead of Black, or at the very least cooperates with him readily.

## Plot

Red is one of the Underworld prisoners freed by Miranjo to conquer the Bosse Kingdom.

It's implied that he has an existing relationship with Black, due to their similar names and aliases. The two also worked in unison to attack Apeas and Miranjo when freed from the Underworld.

## Trivia

* Red's name likely derives from the English word "red" (レッド, *Reddo*).

## Plot

After Kage's mother instructs him to flee to the Poison Forest, he encounters Poise. She hides him in her stuffed toy spider. When Kage sees his mother's corpse, she begins wailing in order to cover his cries. After taking him to safety, Poise wishes him good luck. She wonders to the man accompanying her if he'll be okay, to which he reassures her and says that the Bo Kingdom has their eyes on them and that they need to be careful.

Light clan

**Warning: Post-Anime Spoilers**

This article contains information found in chapters 156+ of the *Ousama Ranking manga*. If you are avoiding post-anime spoilers please proceed with caution!

## The Light Clan

A member of the Light Clan casts their signature magic spell, "White"

### Affiliation

Bo Kingdom (formerly)
Geslan Kingdom

## Biographical information

### Species

Human

**The Light clan** is a familial organization formerly of the Bo Kingdom and now of the Geslan Kingdom. They were often contrasted the Shadow clan, which appears to have been their rival in some capacity.

They participated in the politically-motivated genocide of the Shadow clan by the Bo kingdom's nobility. Their magic was instrumental in helping conventional soldiers track and kill Shadow clan members.

## History

Very little is known about the Light clan. They appear to have operated in the Bo Kingdom and served the nobility in some capacity that invited comparison to the Shadow clan. Whether or not they were actual assassins like the Shadow clan is unknown.

In contrast to the Shadow clan its members have a more typical human appearance. They are distinguished by their pale complexions, very light hair, and white clothing.

After the fall of the Bo Kingdom the Light clan came to reside in the newly-founded Geslan Kingdom, where they serve the extremely important role of attending to Zaki, the horrifying God who inhabits their new home.

## Abilities

### Light Magic

The defining quality of the Light clan was their use of light-based magic. The extent or variety of this magic are unknown, but one spell in particular, White, was devastatingly effective against the Shadow clan. White allows a Light clan member to temporarily remove a target's ability to see their surroundings, instead making them perceive the whole world as a featureless white void. This effectively blinds the target to the world around them, making it impossible for them to hide or counterattack.
Humans

**Humans** are the current dominant species in the world of Ousama Ranking. They are the inheritors of many of the Gods' kingdoms, as well as founders of numerous kingdoms of their own.

## Appearance

Humans superficially resemble both the Gods and Giants, but are typically much smaller and tend to have more varied body types with less-severe facial features.

## History

The origins of humanity are unclear, but they appear to have been servants and slaves to the Gods from a very early date. This would begin to change with the discovery of sorcery by the Houma Kingdom, which quickly developed into a credible threat to the Gods' rule.

Ultimately the Gods would achieve a decisive victory over the mages of the Houma Kingdom, but the rebellion would forever change humanity's relationship with the Gods. Sensing this, most of the Gods willingly gave up their rule, secluding themselves and leaving humans as one of the many species to inherit the earth.

Humanity has flourished since the disappearance of the Gods, and human-lead/human-aligned kingdoms control most of the overworld, as well as the entire known Underworld.

## Offspring

Humans are able to interbreed with at least two other species, Gods and Giants. The offspring of both unions are hybrids who exhibit superhuman characteristics from a young age, and exhibit human rationality.

Though they don't seem to grow as powerful as their Godly or Giant parent, human hybrids appear to be significantly stronger than baseline humans.

## Abilities

### Adaptability

Humans exhibit extreme environmental adaptability relative to other races, a trait that has allowed them to flourish and spread across the world. Humans can be found in nearly every climate, including deep in the Underworld.

### Latent Potential

Select human specimens are capable of vastly exceeding human limitations, exhibiting superhuman strength, resilience, and speed. Dorshe of the Bosse Kingdom in particular is a remarkably powerful human who exhibits strength rivaling a Gigantes.

Humans are also capable of mimicking and to some extent adapting the abilities of other races. Domas of the Bosse Kingdom has developed a devastating sword style based on the physical power of Bosse, a giant who is many times stronger than any human.

### Magic

Humans are the only race besides Gods known to wield magic. The origins of human sorcery are largely unknown, save that it was discovered by the humans of the Houma Kingdom. Human mages are said to be able to rival the power of the Gods.

Some humans exhibit innate magic as well. Queen Hilling of the Bosse Kingdom has displayed extremely powerful restorative magic, which appears to be passed down through her bloodline, and has been inherited by her half-giant son Daida.

その涙が汗が滲んだ

誰とも違う美しさで

笑っておくれよ

息を切らした

君は誰より素敵さ

気の抜けた炭酸みたいに

微かに気怠い日々に溶けた

家鴨の侭で翼を広げて

空を舞う白鳥の夢を見る

彷徨うくらいなら

一層味わい尽くしましょ

近道ばかりじゃ味気がないでしょ

道草を食って

泥濘み飲んで

でもたどり着けなくて

また何度だって夕暮れ追いかけるの

走れ遥か先へ

汚れた靴と足跡は確かに未来へと

今駆けてゆく

息を切らした

君は誰より素敵さ

物語の始まりはいつも

静寂を切り裂き突然に

胸の中ざわめく焔に

照れて忘れて大人になる

形振り構わず今日は御仕舞いにしましょ

日溜まりのような

夢を見れますように

固唾を呑んで

恥を忍んで

まだ諦めきれなくて

また何度だって

明日を追いかけるの

声を枯らすまで

泣いていたんだよ

叶わないと判って尚

抗っておくれよ

剥き出しで咲く君は

誰より素敵さ

今日も その涙が汗が滲んだ

誰とも違う美しさで

笑っておくれよ

息を切らした

君は誰より素敵さ

走れ遥か先へ

汚れた靴と足跡は確かに未来へと

今駆けてゆく

息を切らした

君は誰より素敵さ

Zokku

**Zokku** (J, *J*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. "Bandit Leader" Zokku is a notorious bandit. He was imprisoned in the Underworld until being freed by Miranjo.

## Appearance

Zokku is a barrel-chested man of average height. He has black eyes, black hair grown into a fluffy mullet, large eyebrows, and a thick moustache. He wears gray chainmail over a blue shirt.

## Personality

Zokku is a vicious criminal who doesn't think twice about attacking his benefactors, however, unlike the other criminals he displays a high degree of cunning and opportunism.

He was the first to realize they had been rescued by Miranjo, and understood the implications of going agianst her wishes. Likewise, he was one of the first to realize that Ouken is exceptionally-dangerous, and quickly adapted to the situation by offering Ouken the crown of the Bosse Kingdom (though Ouken ignored him).

## Plot

Zokku is one of the Underworld prisoners freed by Miranjo to conquer the Bosse Kingdom.

## Trivia

* Zokku's name likely derives from the Japanese word for "thief" (賊, *Zoku*).
Chapter 9

## Summary

In the younger days of Bosse, he went to the Devil and asked if he could make him the world's strongest man. Miranjo translated that he can only materialize wishes but could not grant powers that didn't exist, unless he sacrificed the strength of one of his blood relatives, such as a child that wasn't yet born, and gave up some of his lifespan. Smiling, Bosse agrees, saying that he never assumed he would have a long life anyway.

Bojji goes outside to look for Kage but is unable to find him as he is chained underground. Daida storms to his room and demands to know why his father named Bojji the king, but Miranjo reassures him that he will be king. Sorii announces that Daida will be the next king.
Chapter 4

## Summary

Bojji trained for hours, he was trying his best and Dormas was pushing him to his limits, but even after years, he still wasn't able to uphold even a short sword, to the befuddlement of Dormas. Bebin made Daida quickly improve up to the point where he could stand on his own even against adult opponents. Every time he heard about them, he compared Daida and Bojji just to deplore his supposed luck from back then. Dormas lost the passion to continue teaching Bojji and he came to realize that he himself must be the one to protect Bojji.

With the frustration of his failure to teach Bojji, Dormas begins taking his anger out on training equipment. Daida approches and asks if Bojji has improved, noting that he wants to see the two in a bout. He says that Bojji isn't ready but agrees to bout against Daida instead.

As they raise their poles to each other, he feels that Daida has a similar aura to Bosse. He is impressed when Daida attacks him but quickly overpowers him and knocks him to the ground. Daida becomes angry and refuses his help up. Bojji notices that Dormas is impressed by his swordsmanship and challenges Daida.

Various residents of the castle gossip about their bout in the courtyard garden and many go to watch. Two soldiers discuss who they think will win, with one noting that Daida defeated the former first commanding officer, Bohen. The other, Hokuro, notes that he saw Bojji cornered by a large amount of snakes and they attacked him from all sides all at once.

Ousama Ranking: Treasure Chest of Courage

**Ousama Ranking: Treasure Chest of Courage** (王様ランキング 勇気の宝箱, *Ōsama Rankingu: Yūki no Takarabako*) is a Japanese anime special based on the manga of the same name by Sousuke Tooka. It's billed as a special episode of the Ousama Ranking anime, depicting a new adventure with Bojji and Kage.

The special was announced on August 8, 2022, via the official Ousama Ranking anime Twitter, and is scheduled to air on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block on April 13, 2023.

## Plot

"A treasure chest of unspoken courage is opened."

The special is described as a collection of shorts, showing past instances of courage and personal growth by the cast of Ousama Ranking. Several of these shorts appear to be based on bonus chapters of the Ousama Ranking manga, which are often used to give background information, lore, and updates to various storylines in the manga.

A teaser trailer, released December 4, 2022, shows new footage from the special interspersed with footage from the series. Though intentionally obscure with actual plot details, the teaser shows the following:

* Bojji undergoing some kind of rapier training.
* Hilling and Anne having an adventure together.
* A flashback to Desha's revolution in the Underworld (which appears to be adapted from the Volume 9 bonus chapter, "Immortality")
* Bojji traveling with a mysterious figure in gold and blue plate armor.

A second teaser trailer, released March 19, 2023, appears to show completely original footage, and features the following:

* Numerous flashbacks to Kage's childhood with his mother in the Bo Kingdom.
* A flashback to Bebin's past as a guardsman of the Bosse Kingdom (which appears to be adapted from the Volume 3 bonus chapter, "Those Who Smile Will Be Blessed With Good Fortune And Happiness")
* Bojji speaking with a reformed Miranjo and King Daida, suggesting the special is a direct sequel to the events of the Ousama Ranking anime, rather than a prequel or interquel.

The tagline for the special appears to be, "I'm sure you'll find it."

Mitsumata

**Mitsumata** (ミツマタ, *Mitsumata*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. Mitsumata is a giant, triple-headed snake that Bojji befriended as a small boy. Its life was saved by Queen Hilling, and it was later nursed back to full health by Bebin.

## Appearance

Mitsumata is a giant, green, double-headed snake with a yellow belly, yellow eyes, and numerous scars. It is so large that it towers over most buildings.

It appears to have been born with three heads, but one head (the middle) was severed at some point. Most of its eyes are similarly destroyed, and it only has one remaining eye on the left side of it's left head (the other being completely blind).

## Personality

When first introduced Mitsumata was the size of an average snake and exhibited typical snake behavior, defensively biting anyone who attempted to touch it. It bit Bojji several times, even after its life was saved by Hilling's healing magic.

At some point after its meeting with Bojji Mitsumata was attacked by guardsmen again, and this time saved by Bebin, who nursed the snake back to health. Bebin seems to be the one who taught Mitsumata to speak, and generally trained and civilized it so it could remain in the Bosse Kingdom.

Now a mature, enormous snake, Mitsumata is completely loyal to Bebin (who it considers its master) and is good friends with Bojji.

## Abilities

### Prophetic Dreams

Mitsumata appears to have prophetic dreams, and foresaw the turmoil currently embroiling the Bosse Kingdom. Bebin takes Mitsumata's dreams very seriously, and the two have been acting to save the kingdom for years.

## Trivia

* Mitsumata's name likely derives from the Japanese word for "three-headed" (三つの頭, *Mitsu no Atama*).
Dorshe

**Dorshe** (ドルーシ, *Dorushi*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. He is one of the Big Four of the Bosse Kingdom, known as the "Queen's Shield". He is Queen Hilling's personal guard, and leads her other bodyguards.

## Appearance

Dorshe is a large, broad-shouldered man with a bald head and thick eyebrows. He has a scar on the left side of his mouth.

## Personality

Dorshe is an earnest man with a somewhat gruff exterior, but he has repeatedly proved himself to be an incredibly loyal and caring individual.

Though they have a very formal relationship, Dorshe deeply respects Queen Hilling and in turn she trusts and relies on him.

## Plot

Dorshe was the first "King's Spear", or personal attendant/warrior to King Bosse. After Miranjo's first attempted rebellion, Bosse came to believe that Dorshe's personality was unsuited to the role, and reassigned him to protect the new Queen Hilling instead.

Initially upset by this, Dorshe was given the opportunity to decide whether or not Hilling was worth defending, and if he decided she wasn't Bosse would reconsider his position.

Though he was put off by Hilling's brusque personality at first, Dorshe quickly realized that the young queen was just awkward around other people, and actually cared deeply for those around her. When later questioned by Bosse as to his decision, Dorshe informed him that Hilling was worth defending, something he believes is true of everyone. Dorshe has served as the "Queen's Shield" ever since.

Due to his station as the Queen's Shield Dorshe has been absent from most of the events surrounding Bosse, Bojji, and Daida. Likewise he did not have knowledge of the Magic Mirror, and was not involved in most of the Bosse Kingdom's court intrigues.

When Miranjo returned Dorshe proved instrumental in defending Hilling, and repeatedly defeated the numerous Underworld hounds sent to kill the young queen. An exhausted Dorshe was even able to briefly resist Gigan's attacks, and managed to destroy the gigantes' massive warhammer during a confrontation in the castle courtyard. Dorshe continued to fight despite losing his left eye and left foot during this encounter.

Dorshe remains unfalteringly loyal to Hilling, even as Miranjo's attacks have sunk the kingdom into chaos.

## Relationships

### Hilling

At the end of the season 1 Hilling fondly holds Dorshe's arm. It is not clear if they will have a relationship in the future.

## Abilities

### Superhuman Strength

According to Bosse, Dorshe is the "sturdiest" of the Big Four. He is enormously muscular and has repeatedly demonstrated superhuman strength in confrontations. Dorshe is so strong he can even fight while wearing especially thick, heavy plate armor that can repel most physical attacks.

### Hand-to-Hand Combat

Dorshe's physical strength paired with his experience make him a devastating hand-to-hand combatant. Even his signature weapon as the Queen's Shield, a pair of spiked bucklers he wears on his forearms, are designed to assist him in close-quarters combat.

## Trivia

* Dorshe's name likely derives from the English word "shield" (シールド, *Shirudo*).
Anne

* Armoured
* Helmet Off

**Anne** (アン, *An*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. Anne the Knight is a loyal member of Queen Hiling's personal guard.

## Appearance

Anne is a tall, broad-shouldered woman with light-red curly hair cut into a short bob. Like all other knights in Hiling's personal guard, she wears grey plate armor over a dark grey tunic, along with a close helmet devoid of fins or spikes, emblazoned with a 1. Similarly she also wears black and red striped trunk hose over black trousers, and armoured boots.

## Personality

Anne is loyal, strategic, and competent. She appears to be a more experienced knight than her compatriots in Hilling's personal guard, and may be the second-in-command after Dorshe. She is the only one of the retainers that addresses Hiling without using her title of Queen, implying an old connection. Little else is known about her.

## Plot

As one of Hilling's personal guard, Anne defended the queen when she was attacked by Miranjo and the Underworld prisoners. Anne quickly distinguished herself as an especially-competent fighter, and was largely able to keep up with the Dorshe as the two subdued Miranjo's attacking hellhounds.

Unfortunately when Ouken joined the fight Anne found herself facing off against the master swordsman. She was quickly defeated, only barely surviving with the help of Hilling's healing magic.
She, Hiling, and the three others of Hiling's personal guard stayed behind for the rest of the battle. She is last seen in the aftermath of the battle. She is not seen after the coronation and subsequent abdication of Bojji.

## Abilities

### Expert Knife-Thrower

Anne's preferred weapons are short, gripless, diamond-shaped throwing knives similar to kunai. She is deadly-accurate with them, and was able to slay multiple hellhounds on her own with just her projectiles.
Volume 7

**Volume 7** is the 7th volume of Ousama Ranking manga series.

## Summary

A wounded Dorshe confronts Miranjo's hellhounds. Can Bojji really protect the people from Ouken?

What is the shared past of King Bosse and the mysterious Miranjo?

Satun

**Satun** (J, *J*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. He was a God, and the previous ruler of the Underworld. He was overthrown by his children, Desha, Despa, and Ouken, before the start of the series.

## Appearance

Satun was a massive figure, easily as tall as a giant like Bosse. He had a shaggy mane of gray hair, an enormous shaggy gray beard, thick gray eyebrows, beady black eyes, a pointed nose, and a wide mouth with pointed teeth. His eldest son Desha resembles him.

He wore the crown of the Underworld, a navy blue tunic with purple triangles running down the front, and wielded a gigantic scythe.

## Personality

Satun was a brutal ruler who treated his subjects like playthings. His later rule was defined by an obsessive hunt for immortality, as Satun feared dying. Satun was ruthless and sadistic in his pursuit of immortality, fathering children and even conducting inhumane experiments on his own subjects to find it.

## Plot

One of the primordial Gods of the world, Satun was the ruler and likely founder of the Underworld kingdom .

Late in his reign, as he witnessed his Godly brethren begin to die, Satun became obsessed with acquiring immortality for himself. His drive for immortality was so great that he fathered Demigod children and even conducted cruel experiments on his subjects, believing humanity unwittingly held the key to true immortality.

Satun's cruelty in pursuit of eternal life was so great that it inspired his children, Desha, Despa, and Ouken, to rally the remainder of the Underworld in revolution against their father. The war was long and brutal, but ultimately Satun died by his sons' hands, slain while he sat on his own throne. Desha took his father's crown, and has ruled the Underworld ever since.

Satun's only remaining legacy is his Demigod children, each of whom inherited some amount of the God's power. Desha seems to have inherited most of Satun's abilities (strength, lightning, magic, etc), Despa appears to have inherited Satun's Godly perception and insight, and in an ironic twist of fate Ouken appears to have inherited Satun's will and received true immortality.

## Abilities

### Godhood

Satun was one of the Gods, a primordial species that came to power before the rise of humanity. He was many times larger & more powerful than most mortal species. He also wielded an immense amount of innate magic, which took the form of powerful lightning.

It's hinted that the Gods' powers were derived from worship, and that many of the Gods began to die out as humanity became more advanced and stopped worshipping them.

## Trivia

* Satun's name likely derives from the Roman God Saturn, and the common name for the devil in Christianity, Satan. Furthermore, his design was possibly inspired by the painting Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya.

Sorii

**Sorii** (ソリー, *Sori*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption. Sorii is the Prime Minister of the Bosse Kingdom, first serving Bosse and later Daida.

## Appearance

Sorii is an average-height adult man with black eyes, slate-gray hair cut into a flat top, long sideburns, a thin moustache, and a small patch beard under his lower lip. He commonly wears a green tunic under a cream-colored cape.

## Personality

Sorii is a relatively minor character and therefore little is known about him. He was a faithful servant of King Bosse, but felt Daida should be Bosse's successor instead of Bojji.

As Prime Minister of the Bosse Kingdom Sorii presumably handles the day-to-day political governance of the realm, and apparently excels at judgment and decision-making.

## Trivia

* Sorii's name likely derives from the Japanese word for "prime minister" (総理, *Souri*).
Chapter 7

## Summary

As Kage hides under the bed, Hilling orders Drushi and Dormas out of the room. Kage prepares to protect Bojji but she instead heals him.

A maid introduces Hilling to Bojji, though Bojji seems uninterested and walks away. From that day she attempted to bond but he would typically ignore her. While she sits frustrated near him, she heals a flower which overjoys Bojji. She heals various flowers until he becomes tired and falls asleep in her arms.

Hilling tells Bojji that he will be an older brother soon and tells him that the baby is moving. Bojji is happy to feel her stomach and to see his baby brother. Bojji begins feeling neglected as Hilling cares for her new baby.

Bojji wakes up healed and finds Hilling passed out beside him. He kisses her forehead and returns to his room. He thinks back on his day and attempts to use a sword hung on the wall. When he can't, he becomes frustrated and begins sobbing on the ground. Kage appears behind him and throws a coin at his head. When Bojji turns around, Kage waves, causing Bojji to blush.

Geslan Kingdom

**Warning: Post-Anime Spoilers**

This article contains information found in chapters 156+ of the *Ousama Ranking manga*. If you are avoiding post-anime spoilers please proceed with caution!

## The Geslan Kingdom

### Location

Overworld

**The Geslan Kingdom** is an overworld kingdom in the universe of Ousama Ranking. It is a successor state to the fallen Bo Kingdom.

## **History**

The Geslan Kingdom is named for Geslan, a noble of the Bo Kingdom who was a leading force in the genocide of the Shadow Clan. Sometime after the fall of the Bo Kingdom Geslan re-emerged and managed to seize control. His extermination of the Shadow Clan proved pivotal to cementing his rule, as Geslan was able to use their bodies' inherent magic to create portals and invade/expand in all directions.

The Geslan Kingdom has expanded dramatically since its founding, growing far beyond the original Bo Kingdom borders. It appears to be in relatively close proximity to the Kuhya Kingdom.

It is a ruthless kingdom that enslaves its populace and employs bandit gangs to harass and pillage its neighbors. Several members of the Kuhya Kingdom's military have origins in the Geslan Kingdom.

## **Notable Residents**

#### **King Geslan**

A former noble of the fallen Bo Kingdom, how Geslan managed to found his own kingdom is a mystery.

#### **Lord Zaki**

A ghoulish, evil God who resides in the Geslan Kingdom as Geslan's personal guest. It's suggested Geslan maintains his rule via a grisly pact with Zaki.

#### **The Light Clan**

Geslan has maintained control of the Light Clan, and appears to use them to control the monstrous Zaki.

#### **Sadi**

Prior to becoming the chief military officer of the Kuhya Kingdom, Sadi appeared to be a manservant to a Geslan Kingdom noble. In spite of his origins he appears to be loyal to the Kuhya Kingdom.

#### **Ringi**

Ringi was originally a slave of the Geslan Kingdom, serving as an overseer of other slaves. He was later made to spy for them within the Kuhya Kingdom, but has recently turned on his masters.

#### **Oyabu**

The charismatic, ruthless leader of two powerful bandit gangs. It's unclear if Oyabu considers himself a subject of the Geslan Kingdom, but he has allied with them anyway to further his own ends.
