In recent years, the concept of being reborn in a magical world has gained popularity in various forms of literature and media. This idea revolves around the concept of a protagonist being transported or reincarnated into a fantasy realm filled with magic, mythical creatures, and extraordinary adventures. One of the appeal factors of this concept is the escapism it provides to readers or viewers. It allows them to imagine a world beyond the confines of reality, where anything is possible. In these magical worlds, characters often possess unique abilities or powers that can be honed and developed, offering a sense of empowerment and wish fulfillment. Furthermore, the idea of starting anew in a magical world allows for the exploration of personal growth and self-discovery.

10 animes where the main character is reincarnated

Imagine how crazy it would be to get another shot at life in a fantasy anime. The idea of reincarnating with a clean slate in a world filled to the brim with magic and unlimited opportunities attracts a lot of us. Sadly, this cannot be a reality for us right now, but what we can do instead is watch some isekai anime!

Thanks to Sword Art: Online's immense popularity, isekai animes have been stealing the spotlight since early 2010s. Many of them showcase characters like Kazuma from Konosuba and Satoru Mikami from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime dying and being reincarnated from their dull and boring world into a land where they can reach new heights.

However, if one does enjoy the idea of being reincarnated, this list features 10 anime characters who were reincarnated.

Furthermore, the idea of starting anew in a magical world allows for the exploration of personal growth and self-discovery. The protagonist often finds themselves with a blank slate, free from the constraints and burdens of their previous life. This gives them the opportunity to reinvent themselves, overcome challenges, and forge new alliances.

Kazuma Satou and 9 other main characters in anime who left their life behind and got reincarnated!

1) Shin Wolford from the anime, Wise Man's Grandchild

Shin was a young, average salaryman who reincarnated as an infant into an unknown medieval world and soon realized that he did not remember how he died in his previous life. He was taken in by Merlin Wolford, the patriot hero, and raised on his teachings, giving him extraordinary powers in his new life.

With Merlin's guidance, he quickly grasped the concepts of magic control and chant-less magic while Melinda, Merlin's ex-wife, enlightened him on enchantment magic. The duo made Shin a smart and overpowered sorcerer in their very own anime universe.

2) Rudeus Greyrat from the anime, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

In his previous life, Rudeus lived as a middle-aged man who was bullied throughout his life. He lost his life in a tragic accident while trying to save three high-schoolers from a speeding truck. However, once he was reincarnated in an anime world filled with magic, he took this golden opportunity to get redemption over the sufferings of his last life.

While he still possessed the memories and intelligence from his previous life, Rudeus had no problems with fitting into the new magical world. He took up the art of swordplay from his father, Paul, and sharpened the art of sorcery with the help of a fellow mage, Roxy Migurdia.

He continued on his journey to find love and cherish a better and more positive lifestyle thanks to his second shot at life.

3) Lugh Tuatha Dé from the anime, The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat

In this story, the world's finest assassin was betrayed by his own organization and he died in a pre-planned plane crash. It did take a lot to kill a man of his caliber. However, in his afterlife, he was approached by a goddess to assassinate the hero of the world that threatens the same in the near future.

He was tasked with this to prevent the destruction of that magical world and was reborn as the only son of a distinguished family of assassins in the Alvan kingdom. He was quick to learn new methods of assassination from his father, was also quick to gain prowess in sorcery and was charismatic enough to gain new allies along the way.

4) Anos Voldigoad from the anime, The Misfit of Demon King Academy

The Demon King of Tyranny, better known as Anos Voldigoad, sacrificed his own life to separate the world into four and put an end to the seemingly endless conflict in his world. He held out hope to reincarnate in a peaceful future, but when he did, he was labeled as a misfit.

While living his new life, he enrolled in the Demon King Academy, to be recognized as their ruler. Things changed quickly, however, as, two millennia is a lot of time for people to fabricate their own stories about the Demon King.

Despite being known as the the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos did follow his own moral compass and generally had a caring outlook towards others. He takes complete responsibility for making his peers realize that they are dealing with their true King.

5) Yona from the anime, Yona of the Dawn

Yona's story stems from the great King Hiryuu, the first ruler of Kouka. Hiryuu was the dragon god who took the form of a human to serve as their king. Two thousand years later, Hiryuu gets reincarnated as Yona, but on her sixteenth birthday she had to flee castle Hiryuu when her cousin committed a heinous act of treason against her father.

Yona had to travel throughout the massive country in search of the Four Dragon Gods who founded her very country. Her character development throughout the whole story showcases her growth from a naive and dumb girl to a courageous and prideful warrior.

6) Shiroe from the anime, Log Horizon

Shiroe was portrayed as a shy and introverted college student who, along with thirty thousand gamers, was trapped inside a massively multiplayer-oriented role-playing game called the Elder Tale. He strategized his way through the elements of the game in order to survive in the fantasy world.

He was joined by his friend, Naotsugu, who was a complete beginner to the game, and an assassin named Akatsuki, who regarded Shiroe as her Master. They helped Shiroe in his quest to bring peace and stability to the city of Akihabara, the virtual hub of the game.

7) Kazuma Satou from the anime, KonoSuba

Kazuma was a down-bad gamer who barely touched grass in his time in the real world. He did have a sense of morality though as he tried to save a high-schooler from an accident. In his efforts to do so, however, it was revealed that he died from the effects of the shock.

Anyway, he was reincarnated in a world of fantasy with Aqua, the useless goddess, just to take revenge on her for making fun of how he died. Kazuma soon realized that being an adventurer is not the sweet and glory-laden life that he assumed it to be as he had to work dangerous and tiring jobs to make a decent living.

He formed a team consisting of a masochist knight, a spell-obsessed sorcerer and a useless goddess in his quest to fight the Devil King.

8) Touya Mochizuki from In Another World with My Smartphone

God really took his time out to apologize to Touya when he accidentally killed him. Not only did he allow him to take his smartphone along for a new journey in a magical land, but also granted him superior cognitive and physical strength. His proficiency with magic was extraordinary and soon, he rose to be the sovereign king of Brunhild.

Touya was really a forgiving and compassionate person as he easily forgave god for his mistake of taking Touya's life. In the anime, he surely does get reimbursed for it.

9) Kumoko from So I'm a Spider, So What?

Kumoko was reincarnated into a new world as a Small Lesser Tarateck, a weak spider in the most dangerous dungeon after an explosion at her school killed everybody.

She went through a lot of hardships due to her dire condition, both mentally and physically. She had to adjust to the new dungeon life and move forward. She did her best to hunt prey in the very dungeon she called home and evolved into better versions of herself to survive. This anime really showcased her hard work and determination to be better.

10) Ryoma from the anime By the Grace of the Gods

Due to the unfortunate and depressing life Ryoma led in his previous life as an average middle-aged Japanese salesman, three gods joined forces to reincarnate him as a child who keeps various all kinds of slimes as pets.

The only reason for doing so was to let Ryoma cherish the wonderful gift of life in the fantasy world, which he could not enjoy in his previous life. Ryoma helped some wounded soldiers who grew fond of him and convinced him to embark on a journey that would lead to new experiences in his life.

Final Thoughts

The "isekai" and reincarnation anime genre is going downhill as the overall tones and themes of the shows are monotonous at this point. However, it is quite interesting to witness characters being reincarnated in anime soar through the popularity charts. Everyone wishes to get a new shot at living life even if they do not spend it in some fantasy land.

Reincarnate as Prince: Change Magical World with Industry

With a library full of books from multi-universes, I can start the Industrial Revolution in this magical world!

Let's see my gun mage army!

Thunder boomed and rattled the walls of the castle. The sky above was a stark gray and the wind howled. In one of its dark and dingy chambers, the Prince was still awake. He couldn't sleep tonight, perhaps he never would. He had tried everything, and he failed, again and again. He would have felt shame and guilt at this very moment, but surprisingly he felt nothing at all. He inspected the knife in his hands. It was Dwarven made -- the best that money could buy. Its steel -- which was sourced from the finest Goblin mines -- glistened in between flashes of lightning. This weapon was made to kill royalty, preferably by a stab in the back. He had smuggled it without anyone knowing, not even under the keen eyes of Master Darius. He always knew he would use it one day for its intended purpose. But he never thought it would be this way. He stared as the blade touched his skin. He stared as a thick liquid came pouring down from his wrist, and as the pain seared into his nerves he screamed and howled and cried. The screams would have reached each chamber of the castle walls, but it was drowned out by the roar of thunder outside, rumbling in tandem with the Prince's pain. On a much different world, a young College Student was studying for his exams. He wasn't the brightest person in the class, but he gets by well enough. He worked to maintain his good grades while still having time to read his favorite novels. His mind raced when he read of fantasy worlds, of knights in shining armor and of Princesses with strange powers. He enjoyed stories of adventure and political intrigue. Already he was itching to read more, but Calculus was a particularly hard subject for him. Thunder shook the walls of his modest dormitory room, but he didn't notice any of it. He had headphones on, listening to lo-fi hiphop while he stared at his notes. The Prince and the College Student didn't know each other. In fact, they were in completely separate worlds in a completely different time. Although there was one commonality they shared. They had the same name. The Prince lay face down on the stone floor. Scarlet liquid was slowly pooling below him. One of the servants who was working late that night had heard his screams, and she woke the steward of the castle. Alarmed by the Prince's demeanor earlier that night, Master Darius sped without hesitation to find the Prince. When they found him, he had lost a lot of blood. He was only kept alive by a faint heartbeat. The College Student closed all of his books and checked his phone. There would be a new chapter upload from his favorite w*******l tonight. He decided to take a break from studying to take a quick look, but the story had gotten so convoluted that it was hard for him to follow. He was also very tired from studying all night, that he dosed off in the middle of reading. It probably didn't matter much, since he wouldn't be taking the test anytime soon. No one can tell if the Prince really died that night, for the one who woke up that morning was a different person. The body was the same, but its consciousness was someone else's. When looking at the Multiverse as a whole, this wasn't an unusual occurrence. In fact -- it has been happening . The College Student was in for a surprise. # Janus woke up with a weird feeling in his bones. His dream was very unusual. First of all, he was lying in a pool of blood. There were screams, loud and unbearable, it shook him to his core. None of it made any sense at all, just like dreams usually do. But there's something really personal with this dream. It was as if he lived in it. It was as if he was the Prince. The rays of the early morning light shone upon Janus' face, and already he didn't feel like waking up. He wasn't looking forward to his Calculus exam at all, he thought it was the most unnecessary invention of man. What's the point in learning it all if I can just plug values in a computer? His thoughts of mathematics slowly waned as he realized that he was in an unfamiliar room. He was lying in a four-poster bed, the walls the room were made of stone. His books were now gone, replaced by desks of a few odd looking pitchers and flasks. His head was ringing. He felt like fainting whenever he tried to sit up straight. What happened last night? The last thing he remembered was him reading a w*******l. He remembered the dream again, like a ringing, howling sensation in his mind. Pain seared through his wrist. He inspected it and saw the bandages for the first time. A thick red stain that was slowly oozing out of the cloth. What happened? Where was he? Was there an accident while he was asleep? The door opened, and a serving maid came in. She was dressed in a very curious attire. She wore a black dress embroidered with white lace. The kind of dress that Janus fantasized about, except it was in a slightly different cut and style. As if it were from another time period altogether. Was he in some cosplay cafe of some sort? Or the renaissance fair? Perhaps both? His mind ached again, flashes of memory came slipping in. It was the same feeling as remembering where your keys were, except these were someone else's keys. He remembered the maid's name, it was Amys. One of the older serving maids of the castle. Wait, what castle? Was he in a castle? He looked around at the walls, it was made of wood and stone. There were no windows here, except for small slits where light to came in. Enough for an archer to peek through. "Uhmm.." He tried to speak, but his throat was dry. "Are you feeling well your highness? Madam Padmey says you'll have to rest some more. Please don't strain yourself." Amys said. "Your Highness?" Janus asked exasperatedly. "Yes, your Highness, Prince Janus of Galedon. Is there something wrong?" Amys looked concerned. Another surge of memories flooded Janus' mind. The Prince was looking at a mirror. He looked exactly like him. "I'm sorry. but where am I? Do you know what happened to me?" he managed to say, his voice was exactly the same, except he had a weird accent. "Well, Mr. Darius and Sindra found you last night with a knife beside you. You lost a lot of blood. They said it was an accident, they're investigating it right now." "Accident. right." Janus said, inspecting his wrist. Something happened here, and he was starting to have suspicions. He had read so many novels to know where this was going. If he was right, he wasn't sure what he felt about it. There was a throbbing feeling in the ring finger of his right hand. It was his first time seeing it, a gold band coiled around his finger in a tight grip. There was a huge stone at the center, it was red it blinked slightly. It looked like a gemstone at first glance, but right now it acted like an LED. A voice rang in his head. "Memories will come to you slowly. I suggest you pace yourself, or headaches may occur." Said a robotic yet soothing female voice. "What? Who said that?" Janus asked. "Your highness? Who said what?" "You didn't hear anything? Just now?" "No. are you okay sire? Shall I call Madam Padmey? She has a few tonics that could calm your nerves up. Get you back to sleep." Janus was getting desperate, more memories of the Prince were now swirling in his mind. There were no concrete details, only emotions. A sense of dread, loneliness and hopelessness. Somehow he felt a slight sympathy. Living in a royal court had a lot of pressures, enough to drive a man insane, and apparently enough for someone to take his own life. These feelings aren't enough though. Janus had to know more. "Amys, can you stay and talk to me for a second? Please?" There was a look in Amys' eye. Was that surprise? Her once wary look was now replaced with a tinge of a smile. "Of course your highness, you can ask me anything. Although you have to calm down and pace yourself." "Ohh I've heard that before." "Sorry?" "Nevermind. Forgive me, my memory has been failing me recently. So you're saying I'm a Prince of this castle?" "Yes sire, third son of King Gregorius II." "I'm sure you have to be discreet about the details, but this 'accident' isn't really an accident right? I tried to kill myself last night." "Oh, I'm not sure about that. From what I heard it was an accident, you might have just slipped or something. There were rumors that the Dwarven dagger might have been cursed." Amys flustered. "Right. but let's just say, hypothetically speaking. That I tried to kill myself last night. Would there be any reason as to why?" Janus said with careful deliberation. "Hmm. well, there could be a lot of reasons. The King recently ordered you to stay locked up in the castle for the alleged murder of Deena, one of the servants close to Prince Anders---" Janus would have interjected at this bombshell of a statement, but Amys kept going. "And then there's the fact that you're third in line to the throne. Prince Marcus was recently promoted to the Arcanus Order as an Adept Mage and Prince Anders has been slowly gaining popularity as a member of the Crimson Blades. Rumors have been going on about you coveting the throne, but having no chance due to your supposed. lack of achievement." Amys turned red at that last statement. A flood of information smacked Janus in the head. The ring in his finger was blinking again. "Please pace yourself, overloading your mind can also cause nosebleeds." came the robotic voice. Amys went on an outburst of apologies, for which Janus graciously told her that she had done well and asked her to leave him to his thoughts. Janus drank a glass of water in one gulp. He'd been transported into a different world with a mess laid out in front of him. He had a lot of work to do.
