Giants

**Giants** are an endangered, intelligent species in the world of Ousama Ranking.

## Appearance

Giants are generally humanoid in appearance, but many times larger in size. The progenitors of the species were so large they dwarfed mountains, while modern giants are significantly smaller, roughly 3-4 times the height of the average human.

They tend to have well-developed muscles, and generally appear to be more stout than humans.

## History

The history of Giants is largely unknown, however they appear to have dwindled in both size and population since the advent of their species. Unlike Humans, Giants do not appear to have ever been slaves of the Gods, and seemed to have relatively little contact with that species.

Modern Giants display sapient intelligence, and are capable of cooperating with and living among Humans.

Giants appear to be endangered. It is now exceptionally rare to see a pure-blooded giant in most of the known world.

## Offspring

A strange aspect of the species, female Giants can only give birth to one child in their entire lifetime. This appears to have doomed them to extinction. Male giants do not share this limitation.

Giants are capable of interbreeding with at least one other species, Humans. The offspring of Giant and a Human is a hybrid species known as a Half-Giant. Half-Giants appears to grow significantly larger and stronger than pure humans, but it's unknown if they can equal the height or power of a pure giant.

## Abilities

### Physical Power

Giants' enormous stature grants them equally enormous physical power. The Giant adventurers Bosse and Sheena were notorious for their strength.

### Giant Constitution

Historical giants were known to devour entire forests and drink lakes dry. Because of this the Giant species developed extremely hardy constitutions, to the point where they are immune to most poisons.

One year later, while Bosse is in a battle, he suddenly comes into new strength and realizes his child was born. He slaughters the rest of his enemies and returns to Sheena.

Sheena is surprised at Bojji's size but is happy with her son. Bojji realizes how his promise affected his son and he becomes furious. He splits a mountain in half and declares that his journey would end there, where he would bring fourth a kingdom and provide a peaceful life for his son.

### Manga Debut

Chapter 214

Ruru (ルルー, *Rurū*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking.*

He is a knight from a town that Bojji and Kage visited, who ended up accepting those two as his trainee.
Chapter 2

## Summary

Bojji walks through town again in his underwear as Kage follows him. Though most residents gossip to themselves, children run up and question him. When he tries to answer, they mock his inability to speak and he runs away.

As Bojji returns to the castle, the guards also talk behind his back and Kage is impressed that Bojji can continue smiling.

Queen Hilling, Dormas, Apis, Sandeo, Drushi watch Bojji walk in. His step-mother scolds him for walking around naked as Dormas signs her words. When Sandeosuggests he was mugged, Queen Hilling orders Dormas to kill them. Bojji begins to panic and insists that he was playing by himself, which embarrasses Hilling. She continues to scold him until Sandeo interupts. She screams at him to shut up, Drushi bonks his head and Sandeo apologizes.

She says that he has no qualities of a heir to the throne. Bojji looks hurt but Hilling orders Dormas not to translate it (thinking he cannot understand without it). She tells the group that they're leaving. She asks why he had to be born before Daida and says that a new law has to be passed that uses a merit system instead. As she walks away, she scolds a knight about his tunic.

Kage thinks the king must be stupid to marry her. Dormas stays and kindly signs that the king called for him and he should get dressed. Kage follows him into his room and sees him quickly cry before wiping his face, forcing a smile, and walking back out.

Kage regrets the pain he caused him and vows to become his friend, though he lost sight of Bojji. He rushes out of the room to find him. At the king's bed chamber, Bojji struggles to open his father's door. When he enters his father's room, Bebin, Sorii, and Dormas stand beside Bosse as he greets his son.

República Italiana (1830-1833)

Plantilla:Países historia/Reinado/PeríodosLa República Italiana, en italiano, Repubblica Italiana, fue un estado europeo localizado en la península itálica y que existió de 1830 con la caída del Reino de Italia hasta 1833 con la unificación con Roma.

## Historia

La creación de la república se da ugar en 1830, cuando los nacionalistas italianos, al mando de Achile Fontanelli, declaran la república, rompiendo así la unión personal que había entre el reino y Francia.

En respuesta a esta osadía, Napoleón II decide mandar a sus soldados para sofocar esta revuelta, sin embargo, Italia convence a Napoleón de no actuar, tentándolo con revueltas en el territorio italiano bajo dominio francés, lo cual llevaría a revueltas en el norte y a una guerra civil. Napoleón acuerda que reconocerá la república a cambio de que esta mantuviese su defensa en manos francesas. Con esta resolución, tanto Francia como Italia salieron contentos y Francia pudo mantener sus soldados, lo cual era muy necesario debido a la inminente guerra con Austria.

La República era principalmente dirigida por Achile Fontanelli quien mantuvo a los nacionalistas a raya.

Con la muerte de Napoleón II en 1832, Italia se niega a reconocer a María Luisa como protectora y rompe lazos definitivamente con Francia. Poco después se firma el Pacto de Roma e Italia se unifica con el Reino de Roma
Ranking Organization

A highly-ranked king

> *"What is the Ranking of Kings? Does he have many prominent knights in his service? Does he have many subjects and are his towns thriving? And most of all, is the King himself as powerful as a hero? These conditions determine the ranking of each nation's King."*
>
>

## Ranking Organization

In the world of Ousama Ranking kings are ranked by a mysterious organization that controls the Divine Treasure Vault. They alone determine and record a ranking for every known king in the world, and reward the #1 ranked king with a treasure from the Vault.

The ranking organization's origins are mysterious, but they appear to have been founded after the Gods abandoned their worldly kingdoms.

A king's ranking is determined by multiple factors, including on-the-ground analysis from the organization's own judge. This is done for every king upon their ascension to the throne, often as soon as possible.

## Divine Treasure Vault

A mysterious vault at the heart of a ruined kingdom, the Divine Treasure Vault forms the basis of the ranking committee's power. It is filled with numerous sealed relics, all of them implied to be magical. Only the #1 ranked king is permitted to enter the Vault and choose an artifact for themselves.

To date nearly every king has chosen from a case of runed swords. These swords are said to be imbued with the language of the Gods, which will grant their user's deepest desire if the user can interpret their glyphs. Every king who has chosen a runed sword has gone mad.

It's suggested the Divine Treasure Vault is used as an indirect means for the Gods to control humanity.

## Criteria of Evaluation

### Prosperity of the Kingdom

A judge travels around the kingdom to observe and evaluate its population, size and prosperity.

### Strength of the King

Kings are asked to fight a special stone golem to analyze their combat strength. King Bosse, the world's strongest man, was able to destroy a golem in one strike.

### Quality of their Warriors

Warriors in the service of the king are also evaluated, possibly with the same combat golem used to evaluate kings.

## Summary

Bojji quickly wipes his faces and forces a smile, but Kage says that he shouldn't be ashamed and that he was the real winner. Bojji begins tearing up and offers his treasure, but Kage tells him that he only wants to be his friend. Blushing, he says he's tired and will return the next day. Once Kage leaves, Bojji begins crying.

Bebin notices Kage as he leaves and prevents him from escaping. He walks towards him menecingly with his sword and Kage then goes missing.

At the same time, King Bosse was on his deathbed and his closest acquaintances gathered around him. Sandeo reads out the king's will, announcing that Bojji will be the next king, and Bosse then passes away. Suddenly, a demon appeared on Bosse's chest. He stares at Bojji, points and him, himself, then throws back his head and laughs. The demon quickly disappears as everyone stares in astonishment.

Some time after, the funeral is held in front of the citizens where they would also announce the new king.

## The Kuhya Kingdom

### Location

Overworld

**The Kuhya Kingdom** is a small, prosperous overworld kingdom in the universe of Ousama Ranking. It was founded by King Kuhya's father sometime before the start of the series. It is notable for being a relatively low-ranked kingdom.

Bojji and Kage arrived at this kingdom first in their tour across the world.

## **History**

The exact location of the Kuhya Kingdom is unclear, but it appears to be in an expansive grassland with no coast, forest, or mountains in sight. It is a city-state kingdom, or a kingdom that consists only of its walled capital city and the surrounding territory it can control.

At the time of its founding it was an exceptionally small kingdom, with only light fortifications and no castle. It has grown substantially larger and wealthier under its second king, the supernaturally lucky King Kuhya, and now boasts a central castle as well as high stone walls.

It is considered exceptionally prosperous for such a small kingdom.

## **Notable Residents**

#### **King Kuhya**

The second king of the Kuhya Kingdom. Kuhya is a small, middle-aged man with a personality quite similar to Bojji. He is a supernaturally lucky individual, and whenever he is in need he immediately meets a person who can help him.

#### **Princess Mehi**

King Kuhya's only child and current crown princess of the Kuhya Kingdom. Mehi is a whimsical person who has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions, but shares her father's friendly and generous personality.

#### **Commander Sadi**

The chief military officer of the Kuhya Kingdom, Sadi is a large, unpleasant-looking man who feels very bored and dissatisfied with his peaceful kingdom. He often mimics fights in the castle hallway with his lieutenant Ringi.

In spite of his unsavory personality Sadi is ultimately loyal to his kingdom, though his tactics are more than a little fanciful and absurd.

#### **Lieutenant Ringi**

Sadi's former second-in-command and constant partner, Ringi appeared to be a relatively good-natured person, but betrayed the kingdom at a pivotal moment.

#### **The Founder/First King**

King Kuhya's legendary father, once a powerful warrior who was able to establish a kingdom with his strength alone. Not much is known about the first king's personality, save that he seemed to have a good relationship with Kuhya and Mehi.

## Trivia

* Kuhya Kingdom's name is likely an anagram of the Japanese word *hyaku* (ひゃく), meaning 100 as a reference of the kingdom's low ranking.
Volume 16

**Volume 16** is the 16th volume of *Ousama Ranking* manga series.

## Summary

**Fighting for his friends, Bojji faces the strongest god's wrath!! Shocking Volume 16!!**

Kage learns that the invasion of their allied country, the Kuhya Kingdom, was planned by the Geslan Army. Kage and Bojji leave the Kuhya Kingdom in order to seek revenge against their sworn enemy, but the Geslan Army has an ally of their own: a god who is said to control death.

Bojji confronts his destined enemy for the sake of his friends, but the strongest god shows its fangs!!

The 16th volume of the blockbuster adventure story features the bonus chapter "Kuhya Country Banquet"!!
Chapter 3

## Summary

Before Bosse founded his kingdom, there was only a small town there. Suddenly, the village faced an attack from several monsters. The villagers fought with all their might at the cost of many lives in order to drive them out. But it was only the beginning. Having seen the incoming horde of monsters, the villagers feared for their fate.

Bosse suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He was as big as a tree, bearing a club and a huge axe. Without hesitation, he faced the army of monsters head on. As he was only going on the offensive, the wounds he received were numerous. He never flinched or fell back, the monsters were terrified, they quickly scattered and retreated all while he took down their leader.

When the villagers saw that man fight, they sensed that he was not human but their gratitude fir him was above all else. And the man who turned the fight around was also confident and compassionate, which charmed the people. This was the foundation of his kingdom.

Bosse coughs blood and asks about his public nudity. He asks what happened but then says it doesn't really matter. He holds Bojji's hand and says he's a memento of his previous wife, so it makes sense that he's cute. He says that he is worried about his kingdom as Bojji's hands are soft while Daida's are strong, causing Bebin to smirk and Domas to become embarrassed. He tells Bojji and Domas to train harder and says that's all he wanted to say.

When Domas was still a teenager, he wanted nothing but to serve Bosse and his kingdom. There was a big gathering of many skilled men in the kingdom, who all admired Bosse, to compare their skills in combat with each other. When Domas is challenged, he tells him that he practices swinging his sword a million times per day and he'd never missed a day. He says that it strengthened his intuition. He easily knocks his opponents sword and land a mock blow. As Domas scolds his opponent, Bebin sneaks behind him and accuses him of lying. Domas tells him not to sneak up on him and says that he's right: it's 10,000 times.

Domas was able to distinguish himself from the rest with his talent in swordsmanship. Before anyone knew it, he became an unrivaled swordsman. He was a true genius at sword fighting and that's why King Bosse selected him to be Bojji's swordsmanship instructor. Domas was deeply moved and brimming with passion to teach Bojji everything about swordsmanship but he almost immediately lost that passion.

### Manga Debut

Chapter 190

**Zaki** (ザキ, *Zaki*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking*.

He is a horrifying God that has made an alliance with the Geslan Kingdom through unknown means.

## Appearance

Zaki appears to be a ghoulish human of above-average height. He has ash gray skin, sunken purple eyelids, white eyes with no discernible pupils, bright green hair, a hunched posture, and his mouth hangs open in a permanent scowl. His legs become indistinct below the knee, where they begin to ripple and flop as though his pant legs are empty.

Zaki wears a tall, unadorned silver crown with extremely sharp, tapered points. His clothing appears to be an inky black jumpsuit over a light pink shirt, with a magenta scarf around his neck. Zaki appears to favor silver jewelry as well, and wears two large, silver bangles around his wrists, as well as a large silver necklace.

## Personality

In contrast to the fearsome reputation of his race, Zaki appears to be a coward, and is implied to be physically weak. Despite this, he shares the sadistic nature of most Gods, and delights in using his deadly magic on the innocent.

## Plot

### Honored Guest

It's unknown how Zaki came to reside in the Geslan Kingdom, but he is referred to as an honored guest of King Geslan himself, and treated with extreme deference by its soldiers.

Zaki does not appear to speak a human language, and instead must be attended to by members of the Light clan at all times. These members seem to be able to understand and interpret Zaki for others.

Zaki apparently chose to attend the Geslan army's attempted overthrow of the nearby Kuhya Kingdom. While there he grew bored waiting at the enemy camp, and chose to use his terrifying magic on nearby victims to pass the time.

## Relationships

### Geslan

King Geslan appears to have entered into some sort of agreement with Zaki, hosting the God in his new kingdom and taking advantage of his frightening powers/visage. The details of this arrangement are unknown.

## Abilities

### God of Death

Zaki is a God, an incredibly powerful primordial species in the universe of Ousama Ranking. As a God he wields enormous, innate magical power. Zaki's power takes the form of an exceptionally strong death curse. Zaki need only point at his victim to instantly stop their heart.

Though this power is usually fatal, a person can be revived from Zaki's death curse if their heart is restarted via defibrillation.

## Media

### Manga Debut

Chapter 169

Thief (盜賊, *Tōzoku*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking.*

He is part of the bandit gang and one of Oyabu's henchman, and the one in charge of the attack on Kuhya Kingdom.
Chabi-shin

**Chabi-shin** (チャビ神, *Chabi-shin*) is a character in *Ousama Ranking* and its anime adaption.

He was a god as well as the king of an undetermined kingdom. Chabi-shin was defeated by Bosse before the beginning of the series.

## Appearance

Chabi-shin seemed to have multiple forms, with his default being that of an average-height, pale, bald man with an unusually-sharp brow and pale blue eyes. He wore a tall, narrow, unadorned golden crown and black, white, and gold vestments.

When enraged or in combat Chabi-shin would adopt a much larger form, his teeth would become prominent fangs, his eyes would change color, and a hidden, third, vertical eye would open on his forehead.

## Personality

Like most gods, Chabi-shin was probably a domineering and sadistic presence in his kingdom, reviled by the humans he ruled.

## Plot

Little is known about Chabi-shin as an individual, but he has been depicted as operating in-step with the other gods of his era, suggesting he was a long-lived, long-ruling, sadistic king who treated human beings like playthings.

At some point in the past Chabi-shin was visited by a young Bosse, who challenged Chabi-shin to a fight. In spite of his enormous strength, Bosse was quickly subdued and grievously injured by the god, and had to be nursed back to health by Miranjo.

Sometime later Bosse, having made a pact with a demon, challenged Chabi-shin again. This time Bosse was victorious, and he defeated Chabi-shin in the god's own throne room.

His destiny is unknown since, in the manga, is seen still alive, even if to the ground and shaking, after being defeated by Bosse.

## Abilities

#### Godhood

Chabi-shin was a member of the gods, an incredibly powerful primordial species in the universe of Ousama Ranking. As a god he wielded enormous, innate magical power, which allowed him to easily defeat a giant in single-combat. Chabi-shin's personal manifestations of this power are unknown.
Guillermo II de los Países Bajos

* en holandés: Wilhelm Frederik George Lodewijk van Oranje-Nassau

Guillermo VII de Orange, nacido en 1792 en La Haya y muerto en 1849 en Tilburgo, fue Príncipe de Orange, Gobernador general de Holanda y I Duque de La Haya y Ámsterdam.

## Nacimiento y primeros años

Nació en La Haya, hijo del Príncipe Guillermo y Guillermina de Prusia. Cuando tenía apenas tres años sin embargo, tuvo que escapar junto con su familia al Reino Unido de los franceses.

Ya a salvo en el Reino Unido, Guillermo se marchó a Prusia y pasó su infancia en la corte berlinesa, sirvió en el ejército prusiano y llegó a presentar momentáneamente batalla contra Napoleón, pero, tras finalizar la guerra, se retiró a una villa privada en la región.

Llegó además a volver a Reino Unido para estudiar ley civil en Oxford, donde se asentó. Fue allí donde se dio a conocer el gran escándalo que representaba su posible bisexualidad, ya que buscaba compañía tanto en mujeres como hombres.

## Matrimonio

Inicialmente fue considerado como potencial consorte de Carlota, princesa de Gales, pero este matrimonio no llegó a ser por oposición dela misma Carlota.

Guillermo se trasladó a Prusia, patria de su madre y donde muchos de sus hermanos ya vivían. Ahí fue declarado por su tío, Federico Guillermo III, como Príncipe de Prusia por derecho de su madre.

Guillermo pasó una larga temporada en Prusia, donde conoció a la antigua princesa imperial rusa, Ana Pávlovna de Rusia. El patriarca de la familia, Nicolás, propone que Ana debería buscar un matrimonio que afianzase la posición en el exilio de la familia imperial. Por ello, y con el consentimiento de Ana, la pareja decide casarse. Las nupcias se celebraron el 21 de febrero de 1816 en la capital prusiana y la nueva pareja se instaló ahí.

Tuvieron un total de 5 hijos, de los que el cuarto, Ernesto Casimiro, falleció en la infancia.

\*Guillermo (1817-1890). Sucedió a su padre en 1849 con el nombre de Guillermo VIII de Orange

\*Alejandro “Sascha” de Orange-Nassau (1818-1848)

\*Enrique de Orange-Nassau (1820-1879)

\*Ernesto Casimiro de Ornage-Nassau (1822)

\*Sofía de Orange-Nassau (1824-1897). Se convirtió en Gran Duquesa consorte de Sajonia-Weimar-Eisenach

## Fallecimiento

Guillermo VII fallece en la ciudad de Tilburgo, en la Autonomía de Holanda, el 17 de marzo de 1849 a los 56 años de edad. Fue sucedido por su hijo Guillermo VIII de Orange

Pacto de Nápoles

El Pacto de Nápoles fue una serie de tratados librados entre Nápoles (bajo un nuevo control revolucionario afín a los Carbonari) y el Estado Italiano en 1848.

## Antecedentes

En 1848 Austria había sido derrotada durante una guerra con Francia, desatando un renacer nacionalista en Europa. Los pueblos italianos, ahora casi unidos por el tratado depaz, desean consumar su total unificación. Es por eso que ese mismo año ocurre un levantamiento en el Reino de Nápoles, que obliga al rey Luciano I a abdicar para luego marchar al exilio. La revolución no fue violenta y al rey se le permitió mantener varios títulos y villas, así como una pequeña pensión. Una vez abandonado el gobierno por el ex-rey, Giosuè Ritucci, militar y nacionalista, así como afín a los borbones, asume el poder. Ritucci declara la vuelta a la monarquía borbónica, lo cual contradice los ideales republicanos del Estado y de los Carbonari.

## Tratado

Giusseppe Garibaldi, enviado para las negociaciones, se muestra un poco reacio a la dinastía Borbón pero decide terminar cediendo ante Ritucci. Una vez aprobado por el cosejo, el cual decidió aceptar debido a que se teía una guerra civil en la península de negarse, se decide formar un sólido estado ítalo-parlante, que abarcase de Trieste a Palermo y de Milán a Ragusa.

El consejo sin embargo mantuvo una sólida condición, el nuevo estado no sería una monarquía absoluta, sino una monarquía constitucional de carácter nacionalista. En esta nueva monarquía, los Carbonari seguirían manteniendo grandes cúmulos de poder. Nace así el 19 de enero de 1849 el Reino de Italia

Isle of Edlis

The **Isle of Edlis** is a windswept and isolated isle that has been mostly uninhabited for centuries. A small community of monks is known to dwell on one edge of the island, and rumours persist of an isolated community of drow elves, T'renhazaan, escaping detection, on the other.

The lonely and mountainous island acts a refuge for those who wish to escape from the world or to find something in themselves they never knew was there. Monasteries are dotted amongst the landscape, the largest of which is the Monastery of Edlis, which sits atop the tallest peak on the island and is headed by Shenfi, an ancient master of Spluerian extraction.

There is no overarching political structure that binds the island together. The monasteries act under a traditional monastic structure, while Drow culture is strictly matriarchal, with each tribe under the sole control of a high priestess. In the Underworld, such high priestesses would be dedicated to the Night Queen, but in the modern era, the drow worship more benign gods.
