The Strongest Sage With The Weakest Crest Characters

Let's be honest. We all have our favorite characters from The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest. But sometimes, our faves aren't exactly...the strongest.

Today, we're diving into some *controversial* opinions. We're talking about the characters who maybe, just maybe, get a little too much hype. Or perhaps, not enough.

The Overrated Heroes (Maybe?)

Iris

Okay, okay, hear me out! Iris is undeniably cute. But does she actually *do* all that much besides being adorable and occasionally surprised?

She’s got that golem thing, sure. But most of the time she is more of a sidekick. Is she really top-tier material?

I know, I know, heresy! But someone had to say it.

Lurie

Now, Lurie's another one. Her magic is powerful, no doubt. And she's super loyal to Matthias.

However, sometimes her personality feels a little... one-note? She’s always focused on Matthias.

I just wish she had a bit more depth outside of her devotion!

The Underrated Gems

Alma Lepucius

Poor Alma. She gets so little screen time! Yet, when she *is* around, she's a total boss.

She's intelligent and provides essential support. Maybe it's the glasses, but I find her cool.

She deserves way more appreciation!

The Second Academy Director

Seriously, this guy cracks me up. He's basically the embodiment of "trying your best but failing spectacularly."

He’s always getting caught up in ridiculous situations. He provides some nice comic relief.

He may not be a powerhouse, but he’s definitely entertaining!

The Enigmatic Ones

Matthias Hildesheimer

This might be the spiciest take yet. Matthias is the protagonist. He's supposed to be the coolest!

But sometimes, his whole "reincarnated sage" thing feels a little... convenient? It’s like he’s always one step ahead because plot armor.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the show. Just saying, sometimes I wish he had to struggle a little more!

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, character preference is subjective. What makes a character “strong” is too.

Maybe you totally disagree with my takes. And that’s fine! That's part of the fun.

So, who are *your* most and least favorite characters? I'm ready for the debate!
