“KamiErabi” is an original TV anime that aired in 2023 on Fuji TV’s “+Ultra” slot. The series is created by Yoko Taro with Jin writing the scripts and Hiroyuki Seshita directing.

The story revolves around a group of high school students, referred to as “God Candidates,” who battle each other using supernatural abilities in a battle royale format to compete for the position of a deity.

These elements combine to create a unique world that goes beyond a simple high school life story, weaving supernatural elements with profound human drama.

Character introductions

Goro (ゴロー, Gorō)

The protagonist, a first-year high school student in Tokyo and a “God Candidate,” is dragged into a deadly game among peers vying to become gods, triggered by a message on his smartphone.

He befriends Akitsu from middle school despite social fallout from a fight.

A superfan of idol “Futana Iyo,” he possesses “The Fool’s Scripture,” a power that manipulates reality at the cost of personal misfortunes, progressively impairing his senses.

Honoka (ホノカ)

Honoka, a high school freshman and a deceptive Rank A “God Candidate,” hides her malicious nature behind a charming facade.

With a troubled past including family violence and neglect, she initially targets Gorou, another candidate, but is killed and resurrected due to his powers.

Despite forming a temporary alliance with Gorou, she plots his murder. Her ability, “Carnival of Flesh,” allows her to transform dead flesh into metal weapons, which she can manipulate freely, sometimes using her own body as a medium.

Akitsu (アキツ)

Akitsu, a freshman at the same high school as Gorou, rises from Rank C to AAA among “God Candidates.”

He’s athletic, smart, and the life of the party, also Gorou’s close friend and confidant. His ability, “Reversible Clock,” allows him to bring elements from the past into the present and even project his consciousness into the future to predict outcomes.

Despite seeing only grim futures, he tries to kill Gorou but is thwarted and killed himself when Gorou uses “The Fool’s Scripture” to neutralize his power.

Lall (ラル, Raru)

Lall is a mysterious entity that appears to Gorou when he joins “KamiErabi” and awakens his ability, “The Fool’s Scripture.”

She resembles a girl with brown skin and horns, floating in the air, and exists solely to assist with Gorou’s powers without initiating them on her own.

Initially, only Gorou can see her, but from episode 4, Honoka and other candidates become aware of her. Ultimately, she sacrifices herself to protect Gorou from being stabbed and vanishes.

Chika (チカ)

Chika, a Rank A “God Candidate” and lone member of her high school’s science club, uses her clubroom for secretive research.

She conceals her identity by shutting off her smartphone to gather intelligence covertly.

Saved from a past suicide attempt by Ryou, she later loses a rooftop battle against Honoka but agrees to collaborate after being revived.

Her power, “Entropy Mask,” allows her to manipulate combustible reactions and control heat, enabling deadly attacks.
