"How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" Part 2 - A fusion of real politics and fantasy from another world

"How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom" is a TV anime series based on the light novel by Dozeumaru. The second part, which aired from January 9 to April 3, 2022, depicts a deeper story and character growth. The story follows the protagonist Kazuya Souma, who is summoned to another world, is given the throne of the Kingdom of Elfrieden, and challenges himself to rebuild the kingdom. In the second part, new issues and characters appear, and a more complex and realistic political drama unfolds.

Story and Themes

In Part 2, Soma faces a new challenge after winning the war against the Principality of Amidonia. Prince Julius of the Principality of Amidonia asks for help from the Grand Chaos Empire, and negotiations between the Kingdom of Elfrieden and the Empire begin. These negotiations are not just between two countries, but are important as they will determine the fate of the entire continent. Soma will strive to further develop his kingdom through political maneuvering and economic policies.

The theme of this work is the contrast between "realism" and "idealism." Soma tries to rebuild the kingdom with realistic policies and strategies, but at the same time, he seeks a balance between reality and ideals through dialogue and conflict with characters who pursue ideals. The story also combines elements of fantasy in another world with realistic political drama, providing viewers with deep emotions and opportunities to think.

In the second part, new characters such as Jinya Maxwell (Kohara Yoshimi) and Ginger Camus (Uchiyama Yumi) will appear, breathing new life into the story.

The acting of the cast was also superb, especially Yusuke Kobayashi who plays Soma, who realistically portrays a calm and rational character.
