Isekai protagonists are almost always given a powerful ability when they are reincarnated, and these abilities are some of the strongest in the genre.
Highlights
- Protagonists in isekai anime receive extraordinary abilities from ‘God,’ making them the strongest beings in their new worlds.
- Blessed with immeasurable magical powers, protagonists like Reiji Saeki and Adele Von Ascham become overpowered in their new environments.
- From invulnerability to instant death abilities, isekai protagonists like Mary and Yogiri Takatou possess unique powers that make them unstoppable.
Protagonists in isekai anime are guaranteed get their lives either cut short or interrupted. These characters either die and get the opportunity to reincarnate in another world, or they get sent to a fantasy world either through transportation or summoning by a mage or someone of authority. However, most protagonists get compensated for the interruption or inconvenience by receiving extraordinary abilities or skills from ‘God’ that give them an advantage in this new world.

Takatou enjoys playing video games and sleeping. He is calm and laid back, and his special ability seems to suit his personality. Takatou finds himself in a fantasy world after a mage summons him and his classmates to defeat the Demon King and his armies. This mage bestows upon them all special abilities, but Takatou seems to be the luckiest of them all with the powerful and convenient ability he receives.
In this series, Takatou has an instant death ability, which instantly invokes death. All Takatou has to do is think about his opponent or enemies dying, and they die instantly. Sometimes he accompanies his thoughts with the phrase “die,” but it is not necessary, as just the mere thought is enough to kill his opponents. Instant Death Ability gives him the ultimate upper hand against his enemies, as he does not even have to get into a fight with them, and even better, distance is not a problem, as he can kill someone miles away from him.
In the manga and light novel, Takatou gets his powers from a unique source that is something akin to a deity, while technically not being a god. That said, they are similar enough to warrant a mention.
