**Yuuya Tenjou** (天上 優夜, *Tenjō Yūya*, lit. "Yuuya Tenjou"?) is the main protagonist of the series. He discovered the door to another world in his Grandfather's secret room and can go back and forth between Argena and Earth. He became extraordinary in both worlds.

## Appearance

### Past

Yuuya was born healthy but with an appearance that was nowhere near attractive, described as being 'ugly' by his own blood parents, he was unusually fat and couldn't lose weight no matter how much he tried. He had thin small eyes, a huge pig nose with small nostrils, and rounded cheeks, and although his cheekbones were defined, his whole face was fat, swollen, and covered in acne and freckles.

### Present

After finding the door to another world by accident and gaining a huge level-up, Yuuya's appearance skyrocketed to the point where he's described as someone who's more attractive than anyone else. He also got an athletic body with a robust build. He has 6-pack abs in the original Light Novel and an 8-pack abs in the anime. He is always seen wearing his Bloody Demon War Series while fighting.

## Personality

Ever since Yuuya was discriminated against by everyone except for his grandfather, he has had an inferiority complex that sometimes eats at him. Because of that, he doesn't have much confidence to stand up for himself and gets oppressed even if he does. Though he is extremely regretful of his upside-down life, he never stops being a kind person. He always puts his grandfather's teachings and ethics in practice as he was the only one to ever show human kindness and also made him a "too good of a person". He showed extreme anger at his own face as he punched the mirror over and over again, desperately trying to erase his face in the reflection.

After finding out about the Door To Another World, his kindful mindset remains the same. Even being a subject of harsh bullying, he still has the pride of being a man as shown when he gets excited to test out some strong weapons. After leveling up, his appearance takes a 180-degree turn from his past self, as now he became a very handsome man with a good physique. But because of his little self-esteem, it takes him a while to even realize he changed due to breaking the mirror in his home, not even recognizing himself when he finally sees his reflection. When he does realize it, he *still* thinks he looks fairly average. There is hardly a page in the manga where a woman in the background isn't blushing at him. However, due to having no self-esteem, he doesn't realize this, such as when two girls were trying to proposition him for sex, he thought they were just trying to scam him. He also feels depressed when girls flee from him, not realizing they were squealing.

He is quite air-headed and thinks that his superhuman abilities are just the born fruit of his hard exercise routine. Outside of the Demon's Den, Yuuya is perhaps the strongest person in the other world, and his Level Up turns him into a heartthrob whose easily mistaken for a model. When he does realize the extent of the physical changes done to his body, he thinks he looks *average*, and thanks to his low self-esteem, he thinks his skills are either average or mediocre at best.

Surprisingly, even after achieving so much hell, in the future he just wants to live a normal life. His adventures in the other world aside, after receiving some encouragement from Miu and the Houjou family, Yuuya wants nothing more than to enjoy his normal life with his friends at Ousei Academy. This is also why he refuses the director of Miu Midou's talent agency since it would just bring him unnecessary drama and trouble. And ultimately, even before his change and despite all of the bullying, he always tried to do the right thing. Even went as far as to defend a girl from a bunch of thugs despite knowing he had no chance, which made most of the girls in the series fall in love with him.

## Background

Yuuya was born with a healthy body with 'extra' fat to which his parents thought of him as someone born ugly and that disgusted them, his parents tried all sorts of things to make him lose weight which didn't work no matter what. Because of that his parents abandoned him and focused all their love and caring to his younger twin siblings. His parents are greedy people who only cared for money, status and appearance.

He was taken in by his paternal Grandfather who showed him love and lived with him in his Grandfather's house till his death, he still lives him his Grandfather's house with his familiars.

After the death of this Grandfather, his parents were after his property, but they couldn't take it since he gave all of his belongings to Yuuya's name.

## Relationships

### Zenovis

The Sage is can be said as Yuuya's benefactor as he gives his legacy to him (Equipment, House, Magic Circuit, and even possibly Ciel's egg). The Sage is almost always mentioned in every volume but never actually gets any background exposition until volume 8/9 where Yuuya finally found his final Legacy. The Sage hasn't gotten any explanation whether he's an Otherworlder or Native of Argena's world

### Family

#### Yuunosuke Tenjou

So much of his Grandfather stays a mystery since he has a secret room built-into his house and inside there is countless weird kinds of stuff he collected from all over the world, including the door to another plane of reality, but Yuuya's grandfather loved and cared for him very deeply.

Having took him in when he was pretty much abandoned by his neglectful and abusive parents, Yuunosuke himself hates his eldest grandchild's own progenitors, it wasn't mentioned if he was his Maternal or Paternal Grandfather.

#### Unnamed Parents

Having been and so remained to this day, unloved by his kin since childhood. From birth, Yuuya was cursed with a face that was nowhere near attractive enough for their satisfaction and it didn't help that he couldn't lose weight. Said kin are of superficial character whom only ever obsessed over personal appearances since they neglected Yuuya and spoiled their youngest offspring rotten due to their being born attractive. They're also shown to be greedy as they are negligent, caring only for their own familial predecessors money over the fact he'd passed on beforehand. As is evident since they tried to take Yuunosuke Tenjou's wealth that was passed onto Yuuya after his death.

#### Youta Tenjou & Sora Tenjou

Despite loving both his siblings just like any normal caring older brother would, Yuuya was continuously bullied and looked down upon by Youta and Sora both. The two standing as spoiled and entitled, having a tendency to think highly of themselves as well as their good looks. In short, they're are a couple pieces of shit; petty, cruel, spiteful and narcissistic to a tee.

Having once harassed their elder brother with help from a school teacher on his campus before enacting a gang attack at a prestigious school they were rejected by out of spite. Even after being saved by Yuuya after he singlehandedly bested their gathered mob, Youta asked for his forgiveness for their past mistakes, still, it's not clear how much of which they regret. Yuuya still will never forgive his siblings for insulting their grandfather as well letting the police arresting both Youta and Sora and sent them to prison in order to give them punishment they've deserved and expelled from their school for the crimes they've committed by assaulting the Ousei Academy where Youta and Sora will never show their faces towards their older brother or his friend, Kaori Houjou again.

### Followers

Night is the first companion Yuuya met in Otherworld. After being saved by Yuuya from a Orc King, Night got tamed by him. He loves his master Yuuya very much who would obediently obey his orders.

#### Akatsuki

Akatsuki is a moujo piglet Yuuya finds in a clearing within the Demon's Den. After accidentally taming it as he had with Night, he names it Akatsuki. He seems to have high pride and always wants Yuuya to praise him for his existence bringing Yuuya all sorts of fortunate encounters. Though at first, Yuuya took the light of him but finding out he has some unique abilities, Yuuya took him as a supportive companion.

#### Ouma

Being a genesis dragon, Ouma had a strong superiority complex, and thus when Yuuya mistakenly tamed him much to Yuuya's and his astonishment, he feels humiliated and was even ready to destroy the world but because of Yuuya's cooking, he falls in love with it and abandons the former thought and became one of his companions. As a companion, he did not prefer to involve in any of Yuuya's battles. He finds Yuuya very interesting as well as mysterious as Yuuya smells like him. He loves to enjoy Yuuya's company just as he finds it amusing whenever Yuuya gets into trouble. He also avoids Yuuya getting angry with him as he can't manage to endure his preaching's.

They would next meet when she appeared outside his school after his major appearance change while he was being ganged up on by his siblings and his usual tormentors. She somehow knew that the slim handsome man was the same fat guy who saved her. She invited him to her school and also publicly humiliated the bullies. When the Red Ogre and Yuuya's younger twin siblings assaulted the Ousei Academy, Yuuya once again saved Kaori and easily defeated the Red Ogre where the gang and Yuuya's siblings (the masterminds of the assault) are arrested and sent to prison by the police so that they will never show their faces again.

Afterwards, the boss of Star Productions revealed Shou's sexual harassment towards Miu in public, causing Shou's female fans to turn against him and supports Yuuya as well as ensure Shou will never get a job ever again after being exposed as a drunk boxer and a perverted scumbag.

He ended up savin her yet again after he rescues her and her guards from an army of Goblin Elites when she sought him out to express her thanks. Upon meeting face-to-face for the first time, Lexia proposed to him, to his complete surprise.

Though Yuuya ultimately turned down Lexia's proposal due it being so abrupt to him, she offers they start out as friends first, which he accepts, admitting she's the first person to ask him to be friends, though she makes it clear that she hopes to win his affection for her.

## Powers & Abilities

### Leveling Up

* **Supernatural Strength**: Having leveled up at a rapid pace, Yuuya gains extremely high superhuman strength. He can easily wield heavy weapons like Absolute Spear and can throw them like a javelin arrow. In another world, only a few of the characters like Usagi can keep up with him, though Usagi himself states that he'll even surpass him soon. While on Earth, undoubtfully, Yuuya is the strongest human being who can easily defeat a bear in raw power and strength. In the manga, he easily carried many big boxes with ease.
* **Enhanced Perception**: After defeating a Hell Slime, Yuuya gained "Presence Detection" which makes him proficient at detecting danger before anyone else, and acts appropriately based on that.
* **Supernatural Speed**: Yuuya has gained supernatural speed after leveling up. He is now able to predict his enemies' movements and trajectories and then displayed keen finishing moves co-op with them with his super speed. On Earth, he displayed this during the school camp where he caught fish with his bare hands.
* **Supernatural Durability**: Yuuya has displayed quite a monstrous durability, for instance, when he jumped off from the third floor of Ousei Academy he did not get any injuries at all. This was even outdone when for saving the girls when they were in a mall which got in fire, he recklessly goes through and came back safely with them without a scratch.
* **Supernatural Stamina**: Yuuya has displayed a great deal of stamina. He continuously trained with Luna for six days and still was full of energy. With the help of Night and his scouting, Yuuya even conquered the devil's nest which inhabits very strong monsters.
* **Expert Cook**: After eating the vegetables from another world, Yuuya gained cooking skills that enabled him to cook every variety of dishes with a delicious aroma.

### Divine Authority

After overcoming the god trial, Yuuya is given this authority, which enables him to use state conversion of things. He can return things to their original state without any restrictions. Though he's capable of using the authority efficiently, he cannot use it freely in his own accordance, which limits its power to some extent.

### Spiritual Power

This power had been inherited by Yuuya even before he discovered the Gate. Inheriting the spiritual energy from his ancestor Kuuya Tenjou, he has innate ability and immeasurable energy and he also inherited Kuuya's constitution of obesity and, because of that, no matter how much Yuuya exercises, he can never lose weight due to an enormous amount of spiritual energy making his body stunk. That's why people around him felt disgust. But after leveling up, his spiritual power collides with magic power, resulting in its compression for the time being.

In Volume 11, during the god trial, Yuuya had to face himself without any powers. He manages to grasp the spiritual power with a strong resolve to protect his family and friends. He was later trained by Kuuya in order to control the flow of energy.

After his training, he can fully manifest its full potential, unlocking his way of destroying the things whose existence is undetermined, like youkais and souls of evil creatures.
