Characters[]
In another world, the reincarnated Hinako and the giant Eiris formed a sisterly bond. Hinako is searching for her "older sister," who is also likely to have been reincarnated, while Eiris is looking for her siblings. Their goals align.
| Hinako (ヒナコ) The main characters of this work. She is traveling to find her older sister, Junko Hidaka, along with her stepsisters, the giant girl Eiris, and the man-eater summoner Karla, who came from another world. In the ear-piercing world, she is called "the smallest giant." Before her transfer, she had both arms, but after pushing Junko onto the subway platform, she lost her left arm in an accident and ended up in her current form. She suffers from PTSD related to the circumstances that led to her reincarnation in another world, often perceiving herself as a villain. However, as the story progresses, it becomes clear that among the characters, she belongs to a group that is not particularly malicious and possesses a strong sense of justice. At the end of the fourth volume, she rides a mobile weapon called "Trugernaner", after a 4-year skip she becomes the Don of the Black Selena Mafia. |
| Eiris (エイリス) The main characters of this work. She is a giant with a height approximately five times that of an adult male, and she follows Hinako and her sister-like chair. In the ear ringing, she is referred to as the "White Giant." Along with Hinako, she is one of the very upright individuals among the characters, but since Karla joined, her obsession with Hinako has intensified, turning her into a yandere. She has a different skin color compared to others of her giant race. There was a time when her small stature and weakness made her a target of bullying in the giant society, as she was seen as a weakling who provided no spiritual assistance according to the ideology of sin. However, at this point in the story, despite her small build and multiple handicaps, she is depicted as having considerable combat strength among the giants. Not only is her physical combat ability strong but she is also portrayed as having exceptional talent as a magician. Her skin and hair color are depicted as toxic, differing from other giants, and there are various indications of her specialness, such as her magical talent. As the story unfolds, hints suggest that she might not be a separate race from the other giants from the beginning. In particular, Junko, who can return upon death and has continued her battles against Hinako and Eiris, seems to know quite a bit about the situation. From Junko's story and Eiris's past, one can speculate that there are monsters, known as the giant gods, capable of destroying the old world and that this may now be manifested in Eiris's form. her personality cries when she's happy, cries when she's angry, cries when she's sad. |
Abilities[]
"You sorts of people... We are both very well aware of your kind. God... Faith... Bonds... Promise... You're all so eager to use them as a crude front, you all who are devoid of virtue, are our enemies."
― Hinako
Despite Hinako's initial lack of talent, she frequently encounters horror components that are imperceptible to most people. She appears to be physically stronger than the average human. During the battle, Hinako employs a monster-luring bell to attract their attention. In the hopes that Eiris will be able to eliminate the preoccupied monsters before they kill her, she frequently takes this action without seeking advice from the other members of the group.
She firmly believes that she is a sinner whose transgressions, particularly the one involving Hidako, cannot be pardoned. She felt that she should be punished rather than rewarded, which is reportedly the main reason she refused to take any blessings from Theos when she reincarnated. But as the narrative goes on, it becomes evident that she is part of a group of characters who are not especially malevolent and who have a strong sense of justice.
Since Hinako lacks any particular abilities, fighting skills, or extraordinary intelligence, it is made plain that her role is to be the caregiver and emotional center of her party. This is the only thing she can do in real life. Hinako can solve an issue quickly using the resources available to her because she is a quick thinker and quick to act. Hinako's short stature, amputated arm, and lack of a cheat put him at a disadvantage when compared to other Otherworlders who have cheaters and more formidable opponents. Hinako compensates for this physical shortcoming with her quick-thinking movements and equipment.
One of Hinako's actual offensive options in combat is the explosive potions and other various potions she carries in her bag. Being who she is, she has very little consideration for how close she is to said explosions. Hinako carries bottles of Soma on her for cases of emergency, a poisoned knife for close combat defense, and a plasma gun for long-range combat. They are potions meant for berserkers to heal their wounds and buff them up at the cost of incredible pain while it's active, along with an estimated 60% success rate with very heavy consequences if it doesn't.
"Those who hold no beliefs, have no dogma or creed to follow, are incapable of treating other people as human beings! Numbers, profit and loss, power, those are everything to you. That's all you use to take the measure of a person. You have NO GOD. All you believe in are those little measurements you take inside your hollow shell. You're a person devoid of all virtue."
― Hinako said to Junko
As a "legitimate code owner", she can access all old weapons and an anti-cheat killer never work on her. Although Hinako refuses to take a cheat skill, there are odd moments when it looks as though the world is bending to her will and feelings (hatred), with shadows surrounding her curving in bizarre and obtuse ways, giving the impression that she is enormous and hideous also swallowing the sun into eclipse.
"I have nothing I want from you, Onee-sama. I already have nothing more I can ask from you."
― Eiris said to Hinako
Eiris magical abilities are strong, her true main ability lies in physical combat. Giants typically fight by just swinging their large bodies without technique, but Eiris has learned various combat arts from numerous humans (swordsmanship, Shield art, Spearmanship, cooking, sewing, & magic), dwarf (close combat arts, Axe art, Brawl art, Earth magic) and elf warriors (nature magic & Archery), allowing her to fight using a combination of giant mass, mana enhancement, and weapons crafted with the help of gnomes (earth) and druids (wood), even utilize other elements like Djinn (wind), Salamander (fire), Undine (water), Will O' Wisp (light), and Shade (dark) in the battle. Although she usually faces opponents smaller than herself and rarely uses it, she was able to defeat Wendy using martial arts when her attack magic was sealed. Eiris's giant physiology and magic capabilities make her an extremely powerful and skilled warrior. The sheer power of her skills leaves a lot of people whether her opponents to her allies, in awe of her abilities.
- In battle, Eiris is extremely quick and nimble despite her stature and natural strength. able to execute acrobatic maneuvers in extremely tight areas and avoid giving herself a fighting opportunity.
- Eiris is categorized as a wizard and a very strong one at that, but it can be difficult to discern because she can resolve most conflicts with just her fighting skills. This is particularly important since, in the world in which she lives, a person's level of power is determined by the quantity and intricacy of their magical tattoos. Since Eiris is a Giant, she may cover a larger surface area with tattoos, which increases her magical potency.
- She shows that she can battle with a wide range of melee and ranged weapons, including unarmed ones, while Eiris always uses a large shovel (Elemental Staff), and shovels her weapon of choice. She often uses magic to change its form to suit different situations.
Eiris is far more intelligent and astute than she gives the impression, even though at first she lets Hinako dictate her behavior and how her race is viewed as stupid savages. It was revealed that Eiris's ability to interact with other living creatures that weren't her species was taught by Hinako when they first met. Learning manners as a means of interacting with other people allowed Eiris to communicate and learn each of their skills to apply to her abilities.
"I'm neither a Giant God or a Gorm! I'm... My name is Eiris Kyougoku En Quba, The White Giant! The brave, hugely proud, and deeply just younger sister of a giant!!"
― Eiris
Because the Giants have a reputation for using raw force (Brute Strength), her opponents usually expect her to be this way. Even people who are aware that Eiris is the White Giant God anticipate that she will act similarly, albeit with both magic and might. But in reality, she is strong and skilled because, after learning social skills from Hinako, she applies those teachings to learn various fighting techniques from other adventurers, such as archery, swordplay, and nimble movement. As a result, Eiris turns out to be a far more skilled fighter than Wendy had anticipated. This leads to Wendy's defeat as Eiris manages to trap Wendy, rendering their Regeneration ineffective. Wendy, also known as Wendigo, is a bioweapon designed especially to battle the White Giant God, possessing Regeneration, an Anti-Magic aura, and some hidden weapons.
