The best ISEKAI anime with protagonists who are anti-Magic

Summary

• Some protagonists of Isekai are anti-Magic due to the lack of magical skills that intellect or skills to overcome magic use.

• The characters challenge the typical conventions of Isekai refusing magic to practical skills or modern weapons.

• Refusing the magic, they rely on intellect, ability and technology to overcome enemies and magical challenges.

Magic is the center of most of the Isekai souls because in the fantasy world where the protagonists are located, everything is possible and these protagonists have powers that distinguish them from others. The Isekai genre focuses on the protagonists who are transported or reincarnate to another world, often a fantasy kingdom, a parallel universe or an environment similar to a video game. In these new environments, the protagonists discover unique skills, knowledge or skills that distinguish them and guide them in extraordinary adventures.

Over time, there has been a subtle increase, or rather, of protagonists who are against the nucleus of what the anime of Isekai, magic, rests. These protagonists, for various reasons, are anti-Magic, which means that they actively oppose or are unable to exercise magical powers.

Princess Anismfia

The magical revolution of the reincarnate princess and the brilliant young woman

Being born in a world in which magic does not automatically mean one will have magic, since Anismfia discovers painfully that it cannot use magic.

Fortunately for her, she has her memories of her previous life and uses this knowledge to seek and develop “magicology”, creating various magical tools and gadgets that allow her to interact with the magical world.

Saitou

Handyman Saitou in another world

Unfortunately, some protagonists of Isekai cannot fully experience what the genre offers. However, these unusual characters offer a unique turning point on the ISEKAI genre. Saitou was a normal handyman in Japan before being transported to a fantasy kingdom. Unlike the typical protagonists with magical abilities or immense power, Saitou is missing all of them and the only thing he has are his practical skills.

These skills, such as blocking, repair of equipment and general maintenance, are the one he uses to support his adventurous party. His reason to be anti-maker is only because he is missing, but despite not having magic, he can use his experience as a handyman to face the challenges that magic cannot solve.

Kazuya Souma

As a realistic hero he reconstructed the kingdom

In this anime, fans see a different side of Isekai while the plot focuses on political strategy and economic reform instead of magical combat. Kazuya is a pragmatic young man convened in the sick kingdom of Elfeden. Instead of engaging in traditional heroes, Kazuya uses his knowledge of the political science and the government of the real world to implement reforms that revitalize the economy and infrastructures of the kingdom.

What makes Kazuya Anti-Magic is his choice to ignore magic in a world where magic exists. Most of Isekai's characters would have used and rely on magic to solve their problems, but Kazuya is based on logical analysis and practical solutions rather than magical interventions.

Hajime Nagumo

Arifureta: from the Municipality to the strongest in the world

Although it is not anti-maker in the literal sense because Hajime did not hate or had the ability to cancel the magic, it is functionally Anti-maker because it exceeds, resists and replaces magic with science, engineering and brute force. Hajime is given a low level ability based on support and is derided by classmates to which more conventional magical powers are granted. Instead of learning or relying on magic like them, the dependence of the world on traditional magic is completely refused, especially after being betrayed and left dead in an abyss.

Hajime instead owes its survival to her magic waste, focusing on transmuting minerals and monstrous materials in guns, grenades, greedy and even vehicles. Its power derives from modern weapons and alchemy, not by spells or spells.

Seiya Ryuuguin

Hero Cauto: the hero is overwhelmed but excessively cautious

Seiya seems to be the typical protagonist of Isekai, convened in a fantastic world in which magic exists to save the world from evil. However, what distinguishes him is his almost total refusal of magic and not wanting to rely on it. Others would have taken the opportunity to use magic, but Seiya approaches magic with a deep skepticism, preferring instead obsessively to train and prepare countless physical and tactical contingencies despite having magical skills.

His excessively cautious nature leads him to maximize his statistics long before dealing with real threats, using powerful equipment in a redundant way and also challenge the most elementary healing spells unless they fully verify their effects.
