In a story of anime/manga/manhwa a strong character is very less defined by his powers or abilities but most importantly by their badass Nicknames, which represent them in every way. So many anime/manga/manhwa characters are well known in whole anime/manga/manhwa by their nicknames rather than their actual names. Today we going to talk about those characters, the following article may contain some spoilers about the storyline and character himself, So SPOILER ALERT. So now let’s get s
- Gilgamesh [ King of heroes]: Gilgamesh was the rules of the Uruk and after his death, he became a heroic spirit, believed to be one of the very first ones. Gilgamesh differs from every other king, hero, or leader of history maybe because he didn’t want to conquer and have everything from the beginning. He didn’t call himself the King of Heroes but he implies that he is the KING OF HEROES. He is Demi-god in the Fate series which means he is half-human and half-god. He was born with the highest grade body to be known by mortals and designed as king by the heavens himself He possessed all the things in the world, all the treasure from past, present even from future in his GATE OF BABYLON ( A dimensional storage area that stores the treasure that Gilgamesh owns ). He is the greatest hero in the history of mankind.
- Sukuna [ King of curses ]: Sukuna or famously as the KING OF CURSES in the world of jujutsu kaizen. The reason behind this is simple because in jjk world cursed powers are manifested from your emotions and even the cursed spirits are born from emotions. Sukuna is also born from the negative and sinister emotions of the people. That is the reason he has that wicked personality and just wants to kill and bring hell upon everyone. Sukuna that was born thousand years ago was regarded at that time as THE KING OF CURSES because he was the strongest in that form many jujutsu sorcerers of that time failed to kill him and lost their lives, but when finally he was killed to suppress his cursed energy they have to cut his fingers off and seal then at very discrete and secured locations to stop the reincarnation of his. The physical appearance of Sukuna consist of 4 arms and 4 eyes even after thousand of years he is even feared by many jujutsu sorcerers like Megumi when Yuji eats Sukuna’s finger. That’s the Reason he was regarded as King of Curses, the strongest cursed spirit ever.
- Shinra [ Devil’s Footprint ]: Shinra Kusakabe is a member of the Special Fire Force Company 8 . He is 3rd and 4th generation pyrokinetic. He joined the Fire force after the death of and mother and brother (who later he found out were alive and were in alliance with a villain ) to help the people from human combustion. He has a happy and helping nature, brave and positive heart but most importantly he has a wicked smile. He released his flames from the bottom of his feet and the reason is fast from others but in his battle with Sho, we can see Shinra can outspeed his brother is was seen stopping or manipulating ht time itself, and where he put his feet leaving the prints with ashes.
- Escanor [ Lion Sin of Pride ]: Escanor of the seven deadly sin is a knight of the kingdom of Britania and he the part of the Seven Deadly Sins (a Group consisting of 7 strongest and most extraordinary knights of the kingdom ) he is said to be the strongest member of the group and is Nicknames as LION SIN OF PRIDE. The main reason behind this was because of his power and his personality because his personality gradually changes with the differences in his power. Escanor’s power is called Sunshine which gives him a large power boost during the day and at that time Esanor’s Pride is at his topmost level. At noon for one minute, he is the strongest being in the whole world because of this power he has defeated Demon King who was said to be the strongest and this huge power is the reason behind his name LION SIN OF PRIDE.
- Sun JIn Woo [ Shadow Monarch ]: Sung Jin Woo inherited the power of the shadow monarch since the double dungeon incident, but it’s been hidden through the “system”. It gives off the illusion that Sung Jin can choose to become whatever he wants, but in truth, he only has the power of the shadow monarch. There are other monarchs out there, you can see two of them in some of the latest chapters of the webtoon. But the shadow monarch is the strongest and most recognized of them all since the shadow monarch can win any battle as long as the battle gets longer. Later on, he encounters the monarchs and gets to hear the story of another “faction” than the monarchs. “The King” title he is being referred to as, is probably just that translation of Sung Jin’s title.
These are some of the characters who are mostly known by their nicknames in their worlds. Some represent the kings, but some by their nature, someone by their powers, and someone by their subordinates.
