Yoshida (吉田)

 

A 26-year-old salaryman with short black hair, brown eyes, a pretty decent face and a well-built stature. Living alone most of his life, Yoshida grew to be a highly independent person. He is an exceptional and reliable employee who is always dedicated to his work; pulling off overtime daily and even helps lighten the load of tasks of his colleagues.

Yoshida's junior and mentee at the IT company who secretly has romantic feelings for him. She generally has a laid-back personality and remains relaxed and unfazed even if deadlines and tasks are piling up. Although she is highly capable of doing her job efficiently, she opts not to exert effort as she believes overworking will soon just result in death. Instead, she uses the favoritism she gets from her other superiors to her advantage.

Hashimoto (橋本)

 

Yoshida's co-worker and friend. He is a young man with black hair and brown eyes. He wears a pair of eye glasses.

Years ago while she was pregnant with Sayu, her husband whose had a knack for constantly cheating on her with other women, had already moved on to someone else and forced her to get an abortion but instead refused-(thus leading to Sayu's birth).

The aftermath of her death caused further strain between Sayu and her mother, who believed that Sayu was the one that drove her friend to suicide. Being constantly blamed for friend's death, lead Sayu to leave home and became emotionally unstable.

The Saint's Magic Power in Omnipotent is a great manga for anyone wanting more stories like Snow White with the Red Hair or The Alchemist Who Survived. It's a great fantasy, slice-of-life, romance that so far has a lot of potential to be a great female-led isekai story.

Leonhardt

A native of Klausner's Domain that is in charge of their local mercenary squad charged with controlling the monsters. He is very tall and muscular with a friendly attitude. He is not one well versed or used to using proper etiquette when speaking.

 

The finale of the 12-episode Isekai series was really quite simple, but also very subtle, leaving things open for the future.At the end of the day Love wins as we get to know that the Saint's magic Power is Love.

Hopeful for Season 2.It definitely deserves another season.

Animated by J.C. Staff and directed by Hiroaki Akagi, the anime adaptation is a Funimation co-production and will run for 12 episodes. Originally premiering on April 4th, 2021, Combatants Will Be Dispatched!

 To start off, on the previous episode of the anime, agent 6 and his partner, Alice Kisaragi, has been transported in another world to fulfill their mission from their company, Kisaragi Corporation.

 Combat Agent Six, often shortened to Agent Six or simply Six, is the anti-heroic main protagonist of the 2017 Japanese science fantasy comedy light novel series Combatants Will Be Dispatched! as well as its 2018 manga & 2021 anime television series adaptations of the same name.

 Having almost completed their conquest of Earth, the evil Kisaragi Corporation has decided to expand their operations to other Earth-like planets across the universe by sending Combat Agent 6 and newly developed combat droid Alice to a fantasy-like world via an untested teleporter. Shortly after arriving, 6 and Alice find themselves drafted into the Kingdom of Grace's military. However, 6 has to collect enough "Evil Points" to help Kisaragi establish a foothold on this new planet. 6 and Alice must balance their work for Kisaragi with saving the Kingdom of Grace and its Princess from the encroaching demon army

Combat Agent 6 (戦闘員六号, Sentōin Roku-Gō)

 

One of the first combat agents for the Kisaragi Corporation whose real name has not been revealed. 6 serves as an advance scout for Kisragi on the other world (chosen by dice roll), and constantly gets himself into dishonorable or lecherous situations to increase his Evil Points, but his underhanded tactics are useful in fighting against demonic opponents he encounters. It is hinted he knows the Supreme Leaders of Kisaragi from their shared past

 

Alice Kisaragi (キサラギ＝アリス, Kisaragi Arisu)

 

The "Kisaragi Company Pretty Girl Android," Alice is a combat droid recently built by Lilith who claims to have the strength of a little girl, but she is able to wield a pump shotgun that 6 summons for her early on.

Snow (スノウ, Sunō)

 

The ambitious Commander of Princess Tillis' Royal Guard who clawed her way up from the slums, primarily motivated by fortune and glory. After an incident with bringing 6 and Alice into the Kingdom, Snow is demoted and forced to serve as 6's Executive Officer.

Rose (ロゼ, Roze)

A chimera in the form of a little girl, she can copy the abilities of any creature she eats. Rose treats the words of her late creator as gospel, which leads to her saying some "tacky" lines at times

 

Grimm (グリム, Gurimu)

 

An Archbishop of Zenarith and a slut with an awful personality (according to 6) who often falls asleep during battle. She is a dark mage, capable of inflicting curses upon her targets. However, her curses only work "maybe 80% of the time," and "the success rate drops like a rock" when she uses the same phrasing or might even affect her instead. Grimm is bound to a wheelchair, but only because a backfired curse made her unable to wear shoes. Being an Archbishop of Zenarith allows Grimm to be resurrected from death when an offering is made at a nearby shrine or temple.

 

Freezing Astaroth (氷結のアスタロト, Hyōketsu no Asutaroto)

 

One of the Supreme Leaders of Kisaragi, who has the power to encase her enemies in ice. She secretly has a crush on 6.

How did My Hero Academia Class 1-A vs Class 1-B go in Season 5?

 My Hero Academia is one of the popular Animes in recent times. As the anime is in it's 5th season the fans have high expectations for the anime.And the hasn't done bad so far as the animation and the storyline have been on point!!!

Coming to the anime, the anime had 5 round battles between class 1-A and Class1-B!!!

How did it go? Let's find out!!

A little reminder that Hitoshi Shinso from Business course participated in the 1st match for Class 1-A and in the 5th match for Class 1-B as his exam for entering in the hero course.

Round 1:

From this battle, everyone got to know that Class 1-B are good at planning and executing them.Even though Class 1-A had experience in combat facing several situations, they barely able to win the match against class 1-B thanks to Shinso's Brainwashing as he was their fifth member in the battle.

even though the battle was way too close for comfort.

Round 2!!!

Battle between Team Kendo vs Team Momo!!!

Both are class reps are known well known for their leadership quality!!

Although it looked like Kendo's team had the upper hand in the battle but Momo pulled some last strings so that Tokoyami can ensure the victory!!!

But Class 1-B stopped Tokoyami in the most awkward way!!!

Round 3!!!

This battle showed that Todoroki has a long way to go before he masters his quirks.On the other hand, Tetsutetsu has been preparing himself to take on Todoroki as he was able to endure both ice and fire of Todoroki.It did look like that they are evenly matched.But in the end both of them were worn out.

As time ran out, both teams had one member standing so the match ended in a draw!!!

Round 4!!!

The first impression that comes in seeing this class 1-A team is that are they gonna win? cause Bakugo isn't a team guy.

Then the unthinkable happens.Bakugo tells his mates that he is going take the lead and told them he'll save them when they are in danger.He earned their respect when he put himself on the line to save his mate.

This team happened to have the best team work from all the other teams.As they win a perfect 4-0 win with less than 5 minutes.With team lizard having no clue what so ever.

Round 5!!!

This battle mainly depended on how will Midoriya will perform.

After seeing Bakugo in the 4th match,

He was determined to do well against Shinso and Monoma.

When the match started Deku's power goes out of control.

Not only that he learns that One for All is growing and it is manifested with 6 other Quirks.Which he needs to master using!!

Thanks to Uraraka and Shinso, Deku's back to normal and the fight continues.

Deku takes out Shinso where Uraraka and the others take care of the rest.

All in all, Class 1-A had won comfortably over class1-B.

Class 1-B had good planning and ideas but they lacked when it came to Raw power.

What do you think of the Battles between Class 1-A and Class 1-B?
