TenSura: 12 Strongest Characters Ranked, Based on the Light Novel!

Despite the constant storm of isekai stories recently, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime remains at the top of the tier. As bizarre as it sounded to me when I first came across this series, it exceeded my expectations.

I mean what would you even expect from an anime where the main character is a slime? However, this anime does a really good job and keeps you engaged. The storyline is extremely creative with strong characters.

This fantasy series includes everything from demons, vampires, and magical beings. And many of these characters are insanely strong. I have compiled and made a list of the strongest characters in TenSura to keep you in the loop!

*Disclaimer: The Light Novel is different from the Web Novel and the ranking will be based on the Light Novel until Volume 20.

12. Veldora

Veldora Tempest, also known as Storm Dragon, is one of the five True Dragons. True dragons are untainted and pure sources of energy. Veldora is a catastrophe-level individual.

Veldora is so powerful that humans consider him a natural phenomenon rather than a being. His fighting style was a little erratic but has refined a lot after reading Manga through Rimuru’s memories.

Veldora is fairly strong, however when compared to other True Dragons, he is still the weakest and thereby ranked at the lower end of the list.

11. Velgrynd

Velgrynd is also one of the five True Dragons, she is also known as Scorch Dragon. She is Rudra’s partner and will do anything to help him achieve his goals.

Velgrynd has continent-level destruction ability and limitless stamina. Due to Soul Corridor, she exists above the plane of life and death, that is as long as Rimuru exists she will be alive.

She uses a move that can jump over parallel existences or clones and harm the actual body.

Velgrynd has higher combat experience and knowledge compared to Veldora who has a higher EP. She would win against Veldora, however, the difference in power is not that big.

10. Rudra

Rudra Nam Ul Nasca is the founder and emperor of the Eastern Kingdom. Initially, he was a true Saint and a hero who believed in humanity.

However, his close friend Guy did not believe and he proposed a game to settle things. During the millennium of games with Guy, he lost sight and became obsessed with winning the game by hook or by crook.

Rudra’s ability, Regalia Dominion allows him to control other beings, he was able to dominate and manipulate Veldora in his weakened state.

9. Guy Crimson

Guy Crimson also known as Rouge is the first of the primordials. He was summoned to the world by Arch Daemon to destroy a nation.

Guy is considered one of the strongest beings in the world. He was able to defeat Leon with ease while toying with him. He fought with Chloe and was able to “kill” her 3 times. However, Chloe went to gain superior skills and becomes more powerful than Guy later on in the series.

He is also a master swordsman along with his ability to burn through multiple layers of barriers. Compared to Rudra, Guy was always stronger. He was able to quickly overpower Rudra and could easily win if he wanted. This puts him at a higher rank than Rudra.

8. Velzard

Velzard, also known as White Ice Dragon, is the second most powerful True Dragon after Veldanava. She is the partner of Guy Crimson.

Initially, Velzard was weaker than Veldora who used to beat her up, however, she powered up due to Rimuru. She is now even stronger than Guy. Although Guy has great battle strength, he struggled to fight against her.

7. Michael

Michael is the Ultimate Skill of Rudra given to him by Veldanava to help him realize his dream. He is incredibly powerful and can summon an army of angels.

He can control any lifeform. He can also create an impenetrable barrier that can be activated at will. These abilities make him a formidable enemy and make him super strong.

In Volume 19 of the Light Novel, Micheal went up against Rimuru and was badly defeated. Rimuru triggers ‘Soul Consume’ and to his surprise, it works without a hitch and Micheal is devoured.

6. Milim Nava

Milim Nava is the daughter of Veldanava and she is one of the oldest and strongest among demon lords. She is also known as ‘Destroyer’ and is a Catastrophe Level Threat.

Milim is so powerful that she was able to destroy an entire country just as a child. This was the act that made her a demon lord.

As a Dragonoid, she inherited a portion of Veldanava’s power. She is also highly experienced and can easily defeat both Veldora and Velgrynd ranking her above both the Dragons.

In Volume 20, under the control of Feldway, she goes berserk. She is much stronger in this form putting her at a higher ranking than where she was expected to be.

5. Feldway

Feldway is the first of the seven angels created by Veldanava and the central antagonist of the series. He was created to watch over humans and protect them.

However, when he detected the sudden death of Veldanava, he thought he was abandoned. He seeks revenge on all Humans and Demi-Humans.

While Feldway is pretty strong, he did not even compare to Ivaraj and needed support from seven other people to even contain the Dragon. In Volume 20, Feldway blows Rimuru away into Space-Time instead of taking on Rimuru 2 on 1 when he had the chance.

While many people think it is because Feldway was afraid of Rimuru since he beat Michael and was able to contend with berserk Milim, there might be a bigger plan in play.

We aren’t sure about anything yet and will probably get to know more about it in Volume 21.

4. Chloe Aubert

Chloe Aubert is an Otherwordler who was summoned by Western Nations. As a true hero, she has eternal youth and can regenerate herself over and over again

She can process thoughts at an incredibly fast rate. Chloe also can seal targets for eternity which she used on Veldora after defeating him.

Chloe can manipulate space and time to incapacitate even True Dragons. Chloe is a Demi-God and can even bypass the world laws which gives her such a high ranking.

3. Ivaraj

Ivaraj is an extremely powerful True Dragon capable of destroying worlds, hence called World Destroyer Dragon. Despite being called a Dragon, he isn’t really a dragon and is from another dimension.

Ivaraj lacks any intelligence and cannot communicate. However, he is incredibly strong and can be a threat to the Cardinal World. Ivarag ended up in this world and attacked Feldway.

He proved too strong for Feldway to handle alone. Feldway had to get back-up from the rest of Seven Angels of Origin and Guy Crimson. Together they battled Ivarag for three months which destroyed the surface of the planet.

Despite that very little decisive damage was dealt to Ivarage, and he was eventually locked by Veldanava.

2. Veldanava

There is quite a bit of argument for who takes the first spot for being the strongest character. While most of them agree that Rimuru is the strongest, few others believe that Veldanava is the strongest.

Given that Veldanava is the oldest True Dragon and also the creator of the world, he is one of the strongest beings in the Tensura universe. He is the God of the entire cosmos and is stronger than every other being.

As the creator of this world, he has full access to use and create every skill in existence. Technically, every skill that other characters are using takes their roots from this epic character.

However, Veldanava is not in his prime anymore and also doesn’t have access to skills such as Manas. So, even if we consider Veldanava in his prime, Rimuru is still stronger than him making him the second strongest.

1. Rimuru Tempest

Rimuru Tempest is the reincarnation of Satoru Mikami. He is the strongest character in the entire series until now and will mostly remain the strongest. He has the ability of predation which allows him to consume anything and obtain the skills of that object.

As a result, he can gain almost all the abilities and skills making him super powerful. He also can create new skills from the information obtained. Additionally, he also has Great Sage guiding him and analyzing everything for him.

In the very last chapter of Volume 20, we see Rimuru in the middle of the fight with Milim when he encounters Feldway who blows him away into Space-Time. Rimuru will come back stronger than ever in Volume 21.

About That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

That Time I Got Reincarnated as Slime is a Japanese manga series written by Fuse and illustrated by Mitz Vah. It was serialized online in 2013 but was later shifted to Micro Magazine as a light novel in 2014. It currently has 21 volumes.

The story of Tensei Shitara Slime follows the journey of Satoru Mikami after he died and reincarnated as a slime in fantasy land. A slime is a creature that reproduces the form and powers of anything that it absorbs or eats.

Satoru starts eating all the magical herbs and crystals in the cave he woke up in and stumbles upon a dragon who had been captured and couldn’t move due to a barrier. Since both of them had nothing else to do, they befriend each other. The dragon accidentally makes Satoru a named monster, and Satoru promises him that he’d find a way to break the barrier. Hence, an unknown journey begins with this unusual friendship.

Most of this info is incorrent because of:

a) These stuff are info from the Web Novel, which isn’t part of the canon. The LN is the main canon and the manga and anime are adapting it. The Light Novel diverged a lot from the WN, to the point that Velda doesn’t exist and Yuuki is not the main villain. It’s not a gag that Yuuki is never placed on top 10 of strongest characters because in the canon version(LN and it’s adaptations) of the story he isn’t worthy of being there.

b) There’s a lot of headcanon info. Dagruel never awakened as a true demon lord. His “true form” is powerful because it’s a fusion of him + his two brothers, but that also doesn’t matter because the LN didn’t get to the last arc yet, where Dagruel will probably fight.

c)That image under the title “Veldanava” is not Veldanava. That’s Veldora’s design from the manga. Veldora is supposed to have 2 pairs of wings and have 6 or 7 fingers on each hands. The anime design is horrible and ignored the LN text so only in the anime Veldora has 2 wings. In all the other medias Veldora has 4 wings.

Please, take care when using the fandom wiki as a source because most of it’s pages are WN content, which where removed or changed in the LN. A more reliable source would be visiting the /r/Tensura discord server and asking the people there.

Hey! In the introduction, it is mentioned that the characters will be ranked based on the Web Novel of TenSura. So I don’t see how the list or the content is incorrect. While the Light Novel and manga / anime may be valid sources of information, one should also consider the web novel. All the sources are canon, just think of them as based in alternate universes.

LN continuity=/=WN, not only their not the same story one of them isn’t even canon and was disvow by the author.

This article contain information from both LN and WN, have head canon and is just plain wrong on every lvl possible.

This was done by someone who never touched any of the tensura material in their life.
