Anos Voldigoad

Anos Voldigoad (アノス・ヴォルディゴード, Anosu Vorudigōdo) is a powerful demon who was infamous during the Mythical Age as the Demon King of Tyranny, for his immense power and cruelty towards his enemies. After giving his life to separate the world into four, he reincarnated into the Magical Age, as he begins attending the Demon King Academy to find out how much has changed from 2000 years ago. He is the main protagonist of the series.

Appearance
Anos is a demon with black hair and black-red eyes. He's been described as being a pretty boy and is usually seen wearing his school uniform which consists of a black shirt along with a white jacket with a cross which acknowledges his status as a misfit. He also wears white trousers along with a black belt and metal chain.

Personality
Anos is the reincarnation of the man who was feared as the Demon King of Tyranny 2,000 years ago. He is resolute, stalwart, and invincible. His absolute power instils a veritable self-confidence that is only surpassed by his ego. Because of his overwhelming prowess, Anos possesses an easy going attitude and an unrivalled sense of perseverance when facing any challenge that may come his way.

Despite his title as the Demon King, Anos has a definitive moral compass and generally has a kind and caring outlook. He takes a great interest in the well-being of not only his family, but also his subordinates and followers, and is quick to reward them for their loyalty. He is willing to go through great lengths to assist in their development, in order for them to reach their full potential. Other people may see him as cruel, but his personal creed is not to kill people needlessly. Even if he would never admit it, Anos is very protective of his fellow subordinates and followers.

While Anos is not inherently evil, his chaotic and sometimes ruthless methods when dealing with his enemies, earned him his title. While he originally never proclaimed himself as the Demon King, he has openly embraced it as the rest of the world views him as such. Those who oppose him, fear his power, and are threatened by the mere fact that a single man possesses such power.

The legends of just his gaze striking fear into those who appear before him are not just a rumor either. Just using his magic eyes to control others' actions is enough for some to go mentally insane.

History
2,000 years ago, in his previous life, Anos was an orphan. Humans killed his mother while she was pregnant with him and he was born from her corpse. He said that it was something he could never forget.

During the war, Anos battled and destroyed various enemies, as he encountered the Hero Kanon on the battlefield and the two began to battle, with Kanon managing to injure Anos a fair degree while Anos would destroy all but a single of Kanon's seven sources, thus forcing Kanon to retreat. The two would continue to meet and battle each other during the Great War, as both gained an unspoken mutual respect for each others power and determination.

As the war between humans, spirits, gods, and demons raged on, Anos eventually grew tired of the constant fighting and decided that the only way peace could be achieved was by building walls between the four races, hoping they would forget their grudge after a thousand years or so. Thus he formed an agreement with the Hero Kanon, Great Spirit Reno, and the God of Creation Militia, whom he invited to his castle Delsgade and sacrificed himself to supply enough magic for the cause, saying that he would reincarnate after 2,000 years.

The unborn child which Anos would reincarnate into, was close to death while still inside his mother's womb. Because the doctors couldn't do anything, even with magic, Izabella prayed everyday for her child to be born. It didn't matter to her which divine or demonic being answered, so long as they'd help her child. While she was sleeping, the baby's heart stopped inside of her. Izabella prayers were finally answered when the child's heart started beating again. Little by little, the unborn child regained his strength and grew as Anos' source chose the unborn child to reincarnate in, thus returning life to it. He believes that it was because of his mother's sheer force of will that he was drawn to the baby.

Abilities

 * Source of Destruction: Anos possesses a unique source specializing in destruction.
 * Immense Magic Power: Anos possesses an extraordinary amount of magic power which surpasses all other beings he has encountered. His power is so monumental, that it cannot be measured by normal means.
 * Immense Physical Strength: Anos has displayed an insane level of physical strength whenever magic was rendered insufficient. As shown during the inter-team battle exam, where he lifted up Sasha's entire castle with a single hand, and spun it around his index finger. He also displayed his physical strength when he opened up the ginormous gates that guarded his scepter hidden beneath the castle.
 * Immense Physical Speed: Anos displays insane levels of physical speed whenever it is necessary in order to defeat his opponents.
 * High Intelligence & Spell Theory Knowledge: Anos possesses high intelligence as shown by his many victories over his enemies as he outsmarts and overpowers them in battle. He has also mastered almost all types of magic, but he admits that he loses to Kanon in source magic. He also mentions that the only category he is completely unrivaled in is destruction magic, and that Misha could potentially surpass him in creation magic. Additionally, Anos easily creates many powerful spells on the fly and during battle. He also masterfully enhances spells previously thought to be perfect. Some examples of Anos' feats include:
 * Anos memorized and learned a complicated magic formula in 1 second which took Sasha 1 month to learn, and then proceeded to complete the formula which even the creator wouldn't have been able to do for another 1000 years after witnessing it only once.
 * Anos effortlessly deciphered hundreds of thousands of magic characters with one look which would take an accomplished mage a whole day to do.
 * Anos is knowledgeable about the atomic structure of objects, and when he uses creation magic to create an object, he doesn't just create the object but also the atoms that make up the object.
 * Anos developed numerous spells such as  and  and even invented Origin Magic, a completely new and powerful type of magic.
 * Anos is capable of utilizing Holy Magic despite being a demon, as he stated that Holy Magic is merely on a different wavelength from demonic magic. He demonstrated the ability to use  and  during his fight with Ledriano. He also demonstrated the ability to use  to create a holy sword, something that was thought impossible by the members of the Hero Academy.

Weapons and Equipment

 * Reason Destroying Sword 


 * Diamond Iron Sword: A handcrafted sword forged and gifted to Anos by his father, Gusta. Anos used it throughout the Magic Sword Tournament. While the sword does not compare to the magical power of many of his other personal items, Anos treasures it the most, as it was suffused with his father's love.

Anos is said to possess various other weapons in his treasure room.

Trivia

 * His favorite food is mushroom gratin. After reincarnation, his mom makes it for him all the time.
 * Anos deeply treasures the love and support that he receives from his parents, Gusta and Izabella, as his past incarnation was orphaned, and grew up without any family at all.
 * While both of Anos' parents are human, one of his ancestors was a demon, causing the pure-bloods to still refer to him as a hybrid or mixed-blooded demon.
 * Many royals and pure-bloods are unable to see past the fact that Anos was "reborn" as a hybrid, and conceitedly refuse acknowledge that the Demon King of Tyranny would choose to reincarnate from anything other than pure-blooded parents. Even many pure-bloods who possess magic eyes, would refuse to analyze his blood, due to this misconception.
 * Anos' title of "Misfit" has multiple meanings:
 * It refers to his designation in the Demon King Academy for supposedly scoring very low on the Magical Power Test and the Demon King Aptitude Test, thus making him an outcast in the academy.
 * He is also called a misfit due to not conforming to the order of the gods and possessing enough power to overwhelm the gods themselves.
 * He is said to have taken tyranny to its extremes and that before his gaze, even reason was obliterated.
 * Being half-asleep, he nearly destroyed Dilhade using  because he was fighting Kanon in his dream. Surprisingly though, no one died because he still had that much control while half-sleep.
 * As a result of using Reincarnation , he could only use less than one tenth of his immense magic power. He had gained his original power once the source was fully awakened.
 * In Episode 4 and Episode 13, an alternative version of the opening theme was sung by Anos Voldigoad's voice actor, Tatsuhisa Suzuki.
