Characters

[edit]
Noor (ノール, Nōru)
Voiced by: Daiki Hamano[2]
A fledgling F-rank adventurer, doing odd jobs for the town. He lacks any talent in all of the six Schools of Adventurer Classes, only receiving the most basic of skills in all of them even after training for three months in each class, such a swordsman skill, [Parry], which as its namesake, can only parry attacks and nothing more. However, due to training all of these skills for 14 years non-stop in hopes of unlocking new skills, he has unknowingly evolved all of his skills to the point they became inhumanely strong, even far surpassing his former masters.
Due to living in isolation at the mountains for 14 years, Noor is lacking in social cues and common sense which keeps causing misunderstandings about him by a lot of people especially Lynne. As he never understood that his basic skills have become superhuman oddities (due to an acute inferiority complex he developed during his childhood as a result of being rejected by all of his former masters), he kept mistaking high level threats he fights for as "basic starter enemies" which leaves him constantly doubting his own skills and humbling himself despite his inhuman feats.
After saving Lynne's life, he was rewarded by King Clays with the Black Blade—said to be virtually unbreakable—, which he sometimes humorously used to assist him in his odd jobs (such as using it as a shovel to dig out gutters).
Lynne (リーン, Rīn)
Voiced by: Ryōko Maekawa[2]
The princess of the Kingdom of Clays. She was saved by Noor during her coming-of-age trial, where he defeated a minotaur—a catastrophic level threat—with only his [Parry] skill. She then finds and follows Noor around, later declaring herself as his Page (a term for an apprentice for an adventurer), who reluctantly accepts.
Due to her royal upbringing, she is lacking in social cues and common sense just as much as Noor, causing a chain of misunderstandings between them, with Lynne thinking that Noor's genuine insecurities are signs of humility and confidence.
Despite her airheaded nature, she actually excels in all six classes of adventurers, even claiming that she received top marks in all of them during training.
Ines (イネス, Inesu)
Voiced by: Nanako Mori[2]
The vice-captain of the Warrior Corps, and Lynne's personal bodyguard. She is a prodigy known as the "Divine Shield", who was an orphan until Dundarg took her in as his foster daughter. Due to Dundarg's habit of mentioning Noor in his off-handed comments, Ines developed a sense of jealousy towards him, which amplified when they finally met.
King Clays (クレイス王, Kureisu Ō)
Voiced by: Jin Yamanoi[2]
The king of the Kingdom of Clays, and father to Rein and Lynne. He used to be an adventurer himself, and is the previous owner of the Black Blade, before giving it to Noor as a reward for saving his daughter, although the real reason he gave it to him is because he saw him as an important asset and a potential deterrent in an upcoming war with a neighboring kingdom.
Rein (レイン)
Voiced by: Junta Terashima[2]
The firstborn to the Kingdom of Clays, heir to the throne, and Lynne's older brother. He has a sharp mind and a loyal devotion to his kingdom.
Sig (シグ, Shigu)
Voiced by: Shin-ichiro Miki[2]
Dundarg (ダンダルグ, Dandarugu)
Voiced by: Kenta Miyake[2]
Mianne (ミアンヌ, Mian'nu)
Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi[2]
Caroux (カルー, Karū)
Voiced by: Toshihiko Seki[2]
Oaken (オーケン, Ōken)
Voiced by: Hidenari Ugaki[2]
Sein (セイン)
Voiced by: Wataru Hatano[2]
Rolo (ロロ, Roro)
Voiced by: Ayumu Murase[3]
Gilbert (ギルバート, Girubāto)
Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi[3]
The captain of the Spearman Corps. He is so powerful that he has said to be capable of singlehandedly defeat a dragon. He has beaten every person in the kingdom in mock battle except his master Sig and Ines (who he refused to fight due to her unwillingness to wield a weapon), causing immense burnout and frustration in him due to a lack of a worthy opponent. After being beaten and inadvertently humiliated by Noor, he has developed a sense of rivalry to him, while also reigniting his spirit.
A running gag in the series is Noor's inability to remember Gilbert's name, much to his chagrin.

1"I Parry a Cow"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Ushi o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺は牛をパリイする)		So ToyamaShigeru MurakoshiDai FukuyamaJuly 5, 2024 (2024-07-05)
Following the death of his mother young Noor decides to become an adventurer. At the royal capital the Guild Master informs him he must attend training school first. After several months Noor fails every class as he cannot learn basic skills except a basic skill to parry opponent’s attacks with a sword, but this is not enough for the Guild Master to hire him. Noor returns home and decides to master parrying. After ten years Noor, now a young man, can parry 1000 swords a second and returns to the guild. Taking pity on him the Master hires him as a lowly F Rank; he is not allowed to go on real quests but can earn money doing manual labour around the city. One day while working near a cave he hears a cry for help inside and finds noble Lady Lynne and her guards being attacked by a Minotaur. With most of the guards dead Noor defends her using only his parry skill. Eventually his sword breaks but his last desperate parry not only disarms the Minotaur; it is beheaded with its own axe. Lynne attempts to thank him, but he leaves without revealing his name, embarrassed at how difficult the fight was and determined to train even harder.
2"I Parry Rewards"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Sharei o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺は謝礼をパリイする)		Oh Jin-KooShigeru MurakoshiOh Jin-KooJuly 12, 2024 (2024-07-12)
Lynne’s brother Lord Rein discovers the Minotaur was magically summoned to assassinate Lynne by King Deridas of the Magic Empire of Deridas to provoke war, after which Deridas could claim the kingdoms Labyrinth of the Lost. Despite hearing rumours of a mystery warrior who defeated a Minotaur Noor doesn’t realise it refers to himself as he is under the impression he only killed a magically mutated cow. Lynne even tracks him down to reward him but due to his misunderstanding he refuses to accept any reward and instead grudgingly agrees to meet her father. Upon arriving at her home Noor learns Lynne is actually Lady Lynneburg Clays but doesn’t realise her father is the King, even after meeting him in the throne room. Unwilling to let him leave without a reward the King gives Noor his own sword from his adventuring days, a massive two-handed great sword Noor plans only to use as a shovel to clear the city drains easier. Lynnes bodyguard Ines warns him next time he meets the King not to be so casual, with Noor somehow still not realising he just met the King. Before he can leave, he is confronted by another bodyguard, the spearman Gilbert who is interested in his abilities.
3"I Parry Taking on a Page"
Transliteration: "Ore wa deshiiri o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺は弟子入りをパリイする)		Kiichi UekiShingo IrieWataru NakagawaJuly 19, 2024 (2024-07-19)
Gilbert insists on a mock duel. Noor naturally dodges or parries all of Gilbert’s strikes and assumes Gilbert is going easy on him. Gilbert is shocked when Noor suddenly declares Gilbert won as Noor has already convinced himself he will lose. Gilbert feels great humiliation at being handed victory when he so obviously lost. He also cannot understand Noor’s technique as Noor moved so fast that his feet cracked the stone floor. Noor is saddened he is so weak that Gilbert had to go easy on him and returns to work where he finds the King’s sword really is perfect for clearing sewers. Lynne seeks him out and asks to be his Page. Noor refuses, believing he doesn’t have anything he could teach her and demonstrates the few Level 1 magic skills he possesses despite spending years at the adventurer training school. Lynne suddenly realises Noor is the infamous Talentless, the boy who completed every training course the school offered with only Level 1 skills. What is unknown to Noor is that he has refined his level 1 skills so much they have surpassed what even Professor Oken the Royal Magician is capable of. Desiring such strength for when she one day becomes Queen Lynne refuses to accept Noor’s rejection and swears she will follow him everywhere he goes until she deduces the source of his strength.
4"I Parry a Goblin"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Goburin o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺はゴブリンをパリイする)		Yasuo EjimaShigeru MurakoshiItsuro KawasakiJuly 26, 2024 (2024-07-26)
Rein cannot believe the King gave Noor the Black Blade, a sword looted from the deepest explored level of the dungeon and immune to both physical and magical damage, despite already being heavily damaged. His only conclusion is the King wants Noor to do something important. Noor goes to get another labouring job but with B-rank Lynne as his partner they are instead sent to hunt goblins outside the city, exciting Noor, though he regrets he had to take advantage of Lynne’s rank. In the forest they discover an extremely rare Goblin Emperor. Noor, having never seen a goblin before, assumes it is a normal goblin and throws himself into the fight to prove he is as strong as other adventurers. Lynne mistakes his enthusiasm for pre-knowledge of the Emperor's existence and a desire to kill it in secret to stop other adventurers being killed. Working together Noor knocks loose the mana-stone in the Emperor's forehead allowing Lynne to kill it with fire. Noor mistakenly concludes he is not yet strong enough if he can’t defeat a goblin by himself. Rein suspects the Emperor was another assassination plot by the Deridas Empire. Noor returns to the guild and reports he only killed one goblin, only to discover since they burned the body and didn’t bring any evidence of the killing, they won’t even be paid for completing the job.
5"I Parry a Frog"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Kaeru o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺はカエルをパリイする)		Mayu TanimotoShingo IrieTakashi KawabataAugust 2, 2024 (2024-08-02)
Based on evidence Rein starts preparing the country for invasion by the Deridas Empire. This includes sending Noor, Ines and Lynne to scout the Toros Mountains, though this is just a subterfuge that would allow Lynne to escape to the friendly nation of the Mithra Theocracy. Ines recalls discovering her power of Holy Shield as a child and being trained to use it by her foster father Sir Dandalg. Several times she heard him praising a man he knew called Noor and became jealous of that praise. Despite her attempt to rise above it her jealousy has only increased since meeting Noor herself. Monsters begin attacking the city while in the mountains Noor encounters a Black Death Dragon being controlled by a young Demonfolk boy. Ines considers the boy an enemy as Demonfolk have been enemies of humans for generations. Noor rushes in to protect the boy when the dragon gets free, assuming from its weakness it is merely an overgrown frog, but he is quickly affected by the dragons deadly poison. Ines restrains Lynne from trying to help but seeing Noor fight on, even on the edge of death, makes her realise why Dandalg admired him and that instead of being jealous she should strive to become a warrior like Noor.
6"I Parry Deadly Poison"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Mōdoku o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺は猛毒をパリイする)		Kentaro FujitaShigeru MurakoshiKentaro FujitaAugust 9, 2024 (2024-08-09)
The boy, who has been abused all his life just for being born a Demonfolk, was offered freedom if he used his abilities to attack the Kingdom. Having lost control of the dragon he cannot understand why Noor is protecting him. Despite being poisoned himself Noor uses healing magic on the boy. It is shown via flashback that Noor accidentally poisoned himself as a boy and then did it repeatedly as he realised he gained a tolerance to poisons. With the poison neutralized he traps the dragons mouth shut with his next parry and the pressure of the trapped poison gas causes the dragon to explode. The boy tries to admit bringing the dragon there for war but Noor, with his habit of eating poisonous animals, believes the boy was taking the “frog” to the Kingdom to sell as meat and is impressed by his Demonfolk abilities which he is certain would be of great value to the Kingdom. Lynne doesn’t trust the boy until Ines points out the clear evidence he was raised a slave to be used as a child soldier. Lynne insists on taking the boy, Rolo, with them even though Demonfolk are forbidden from entering the Mithra Theocracy. At that moment a strange man appears.
7"I Parry the Deadman"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Shibito o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺は死人をパリイする)		Tsubasa ObariShingo IrieHaru Tsuchiya
& Kentaro Fujita		August 16, 2024 (2024-08-16)
The stranger intends to return Rolo’s corpse to his owners. Noor barely parries his attacks to protect Rolo. Ines identifies the stranger as Deadman Zadu, an S Rank adventurer who used his abilities for both quests and heinous crimes, including the destruction of an entire country by killing all its soldiers and then murdering the royal family. Due to his abilities and wealth no one can bring him to justice so most governments simply declared him dead then left him alone. Against Noor’s sword Zadu breaks all his daggers, even ones made of Mythril and dragon teeth, so he draws his ultimate weapon, Silver Cross. Using Dwarven alchemy Silver Cross can split into hundreds of knives to attack all at once. Ines assists with her Holy Shield, allowing Noor to destroy Silver Cross by throwing teeth from the Death Dragon to shatter it. With no weapons left Zadu departs but taunts them that something big is happening in the royal capital. Rolo confirms another Demonfolk is taking an even stronger monster to destroy the capital. They immediately rush to return there with Lynne confident Noor can save them. At the capital Rein witnesses the arrival of the monster, a titanic Dragon of Calamity.
8"I Parry a Dragon"
Transliteration: "Ore wa Ryu o Parī Suru" (Japanese: 俺は竜をパリイする)		Wazuka KomamiyaSubaru YoneyamaWazuka KomamiyaAugust 23, 2024 (2024-08-23)
Rein tries to start an evacuation but someone uses magic to block the roads and the Sovereign Six, a group of strongest adventurers, have all been lured away beforehand on other jobs. Even with everyone else terrified Noor is somehow confident the dragon is no stronger than the Goblin Emperor and should be easily defeated. Lynne’s father can’t believe King Deridas would go this far just to take control of their dungeon. To save his people he approaches the dragon himself hoping to at least blind it before his death. Ines and Lynne combine their magic for a spell to get Noor back to the city faster than a bullet. As he cannot control his speed or trajectory Noor ends up hitting the dragon right in the head. Despite its colossal size Noor is still capable of parrying its attacks, damaging its claws and scales with ease. Rolo uses his powers to help Ines and Lynne defeat goblins. Rolo senses the dragon, being deeply prideful, is frustrated Noor isn’t treating it like a threat. With his next parry Noor snaps one of its fangs, causing it to fall over. Rolo is amazed to sense the dragon actually submitting to Noor, having lost its will to fight.
