Is Kufa Vampir the Strongest in Assassins Pride?

The premise of Assassin’s Pride is quite intriguing and definitely might draw a few fantasy lovers in its direction.

Kufa Vampir is the deuteragonist of the story who sets in motion the timeline of the story. Kufa Vampir is shown to be quite powerful, and his genetic composition needs to be addressed within that context. This leads to a very prominent question – Is Kufa Vampir the strongest as he is portrayed?

Kufa Vampir, in his human form, is not the strongest within the anime. His mana class is Samurai, a lower rank. Yet, Kufa Vampir is quite formidable and powerful in his vampire form, being one of the strongest lancanthrope out there.

How strong is Kufa Vampir?

Lancanthropes are monsters outside the settlement of Flandore. They are divided into multiple races and are considered the enemies of the humans within the settlement. It is through their blood that humans can manifest mana. 

Kufa Vampir is not the strongest in the anime, but he is quite overpowered regardless. Kufa is a child born out of a successful experiment in Shangarta – as a result of which, he is half-human and half-lancanthrope. Due to the opposing view of lancanthropes, Kufa usually struts around Flandore in his human form.

He is affiliated with a guild called White Night (Jack Raven in the light novel) and takes up the role of an assassin. Kufa manifests his mana to carry out his assassination and its paraphernalia. Since mana is only accessible to a noble family, it is safe to conclude that Kufa also hails from a noble family.

Kufa is not the strongest in terms of the mana he exercises as his mana is of Samurai rank, which is much lower than Paladin. He can defeat enemies quite quickly but not those of high caliber. He almost gives in to his fight against Black Madia until Rosetti joins in.

Therefore, it can be concluded that his mana powers are immediately outmatched in front of those in the Clown/Jester Class.

Kufa can transfer some of his mana to Melida, but she only gains the potential of a Samurai rank person. 

Yet, in his vampire form, one will do a double-take because he’s much more terrifying and powerful in that form. As part lancanthrope, Kufa belongs to the strongest class of Lancanthrope called Vampire. It is through the blood of a Lancanthrope that people can manifest their mana as seen by Kufa’s abilities to give Melida a portion of his mana.

Vampires also can turn people into their kin by biting them. They have displayed abilities to command other Lancanthropes. They’re able to recover quite quickly even from severed limbs. The Vampires have shown the ability to use both mana and anima (abilities specific to Lancanthropes). Being a Vampire, Kufa has access to these abilities, albeit not entirely. 

But it can be understood that the need to experiment and create lancanthrope-human children was to create powerful beings that can help change the lifestyle of Flandore and possibly defeat their enemies. The synthesis of Vampire Lancanthrope and Samurai ranked human as his bodily composition expands his possibilities. Kufa possesses the speed of the Samurai class and the intense strength and durability of his Vampire rank.

About Assassin’s Pride 

Humanity lives within a settlement called Flandore sheltered from Lancanthropes outside their world. The nobility in Flandore possesses mana that they use to defend themselves against the Lancanthropes.

 A young noble girl, Melida Angel, comes under fire for not possessing mana – owing to a noble father and commoner mother as her parentage. Melida’s grandfather, Lord Mordrew, hires a secret assassin, Kufa Vampir, as her private tutor to investigate her true parentage. In the likelihood of her being a complete commoner, he must kill her.
