Stardust Crusaders

Rudeus Greyrat. Protagonist: A 34-year-old recluse reincarnated as an infant in a fantasy world. He retains the memories of his past life and possesses colossal magical potential. He rises from a novice to a powerful mage and leader, starting a family. Eris Boreas Greyrat. Rudeus's second cousin and apprentice. Initially hot-tempered and stubborn, she matures over time, develops the Sword God style, and becomes an important companion to the hero. She eventually marries him. Sylphiette (often called "Sylphy"). Rudeus's childhood friend, an elf. Bullied as a child, Rudeus protected her and later taught her magic, including the unique technique of "silent sorcery." She became his first wife, and they had children. Roxy Migurdia. A mage from the long-lived Migurdia clan. She left her home village because she lacked telepathy (the norm for her kind) and became a traveling mentor. She became Rudeus's first mentor, helping him overcome his fear of the outside world. She later married him. Ghyslaine Dedorudia. A talented swordswoman of the Beast Race, one of the few to attain the title of Sword King. She served as Eris's mentor while simultaneously learning magic from Rudeus. Ruijerd Sperdia. A member of the Supard clan (a demon race). Due to the clan's actions in the Laplace Wars, his people are cursed—feared and shunned. He becomes an ally and companion of Rudeus. Orsted. A powerful being, a second-generation dragon god. Initially, his presence causes tension (due to an ancient curse), but he later becomes close to Rudeus.

Rikarisu is located in a crater, which itself serves as a defense against monsters. It once served as a base for the forces of the Demon Empress Kishirika Kishirisu, and now the ruins of Kishirisu Castle, half-destroyed after the Laplace War, stand in the center of the city. Kurasuma is the only city where exchange takes place between the Demon World and the Sea World. Rikarisu. One of the three largest settlements on the Demon Continent (Biegoya region). Its unique location is in the center of a huge crater—the crater walls serve as a natural defense against monsters. At the center are the ruins of the castle of the Demon Empress Kishirika Kishirisu, half-destroyed during the Laplace War. Millishion. The capital of the Holy Country of Milis on the Milis continent. The city is renowned for its grandeur and harmony, and the Seven Magical Towers were built to protect against seasonal flooding (the rainy season lasts three months).

The Central Continent is home to the most developed states, such as the Kingdom of Asura (home of Rudeus Greyrat) and the Magic Triumvirate (magocracies including Ranoa with its magic university in Sharia). The Demon Continent is the place where the Demon Lord Badigadi rules. The Milis Continent is home to the Great Forest (southern part) and the Blue Dragon Mountains, where the dwarves live. The Begaritt continent is known for its high mana concentration, resulting in numerous labyrinths and powerful monsters. The most famous city is Rapan: it is built inside the ribcage of a behemoth. There is also the Sky Continent (inhabited by the Sky Race, such as Sylvaril) and the Sea World (where the Sea Race lives).

Gods. The world contains the "Seven Great World Powers"—ancient beings created by the Creator to maintain balance between worlds. Each has its own element or sphere of influence: the God of Humans, the God of Dragons, the God of Demons, the God of the Sea, the God of Heaven, the God of Beasts, and others. The plot features both specific deities (for example, the God of Dragons, who destroyed several worlds in the past due to a personal tragedy) and their legacies. Ancient Mysteries and Conflicts. The lore contains references to past catastrophes and mysteries that influence the current plot. For example, there is a mention of the "War of the Gods," which destroyed several worlds. The peculiarities of magic. The system of magic in the work is well-thought-out: different types have their own rules, limitations, and nuances. Rudeus Greyrat, for example, masters magic from childhood without uttering spells aloud—this becomes his calling card. Moral dilemmas. The work isn't afraid to depict complex situations: the consequences of the characters' past mistakes, the ambiguity of their actions, the value of human connections (friendship, family, mentorship).

The action takes place in the Six-Faced World. The gist is that there are six separate worlds (based on the number of facets), each with its own race: the Dragon World, the Demon World, the Heavenly World, the Beast World, the Sea World, and the Human World (the human race). There was also a seventh world—the Void World—but it is uninhabited, serving as a kind of conduit connecting the others. Meanwhile, the Human World itself (also known as the Middle World) is inhabited by an era reminiscent of the Middle Ages. But history isn't limited to the Middle Ages: after the devastating War of the Gods, many surviving representatives of other races migrated to the Human World, preserving their languages ​​and cultures. Thus, the world is multilayered: different races coexist, interact, and each has its own history. Another important detail: in the Six-Sided World, every living being is born endowed with mana (magical energy). This is why magic here is not exotic, but a normal part of life.

Iggy is a Boston Terrier. His fur is black and white, with his paws, belly, chest, and neck white, as is the area around his mouth and forehead. Over time, his appearance changes slightly: his head becomes more rounded, his ears grow larger, his eyes move closer together and change shape, and his nose shrinks. Iggy has a complex, contradictory personality. He is intelligent, yet rebellious, proud, and selfish. He values ​​freedom above all else and dislikes having it restricted. Initially, he treats the Joestar group with open hostility, especially Jean-Pierre Polnareff. Iggy is prone to mischief: he enjoys chewing people's hair, farting in their faces (which Polnareff usually gets), and generally making a mess. However, he is not without a caring side—when it comes to his loved ones, he is willing to sacrifice himself.

Above average height, he is of strong build. His forehead is covered with a bandana, and his hair is braided into cylinder-like pigtails with a long ponytail at the nape of his neck. Around his neck is a necklace of medallions bearing Egyptian symbols. The largest medallion, on his chest, is adorned with an Ankh symbol and has a wide tassel at the bottom. On the wrists are several heavy metal bracelets. Abdul is Joseph Joestar's friend and ally. He acts as the team's "voice of reason": more focused on the overall goal than others, he regularly analyzes the situation, offering cautious solutions. However, he is not devoid of human traits: after his first encounter with Polnareff, he becomes more cheerful and engages in childish antics. He's loyal to his comrades and willing to sacrifice himself for them. For example, he twice threw himself into harm's way to save Jean-Pierre Polnareff and his dog, Iggy. He also expresses genuine outrage when enemies harm innocents (as in the case of Tower of Gray, who killed airplane passengers). Abilities and Stand Abdul wields the Stand Magician's Red, named after the Tarot card "The Magician" and symbolizing beginnings. Abdul himself was born with the Stand, so he has honed his mastery of fire control over his life. His ability is versatile: he can shape the flame into various shapes (numbers, projectiles), alter its intensity, create ropes from the flames to bind enemies, or even use the flames as a radar to detect nearby living creatures. Avdol himself is not burned by his own fire.

Jean-Pierre Polnareff. A Frenchman, he is one of the deuteragonists. He is tall and athletic, with silver hair that rises above his head, no eyebrows, and wears earrings shaped like jagged halves of hearts. He is hot-tempered and cheeky, easily provoked, which leads him into difficult situations. He is also sentimental. His main motivation is revenge for his sister Sherry, who was killed by a man with two right hands. His Stand is Silver Chariot (Tarot card: "Chariot"). He is extremely fast and precise, wielding a rapier. He can shed his armor to increase his speed. He later develops an evolutionary form, Silver Chariot Requiem. It can swap souls within a wide radius (with the transition being painless for the victims) and also turn any other Stands nearby against its owner.

Noriaki Kakyoin. A Japanese student. He is of average height and slender build, with medium-length reddish-pink hair and curly bangs. His personality is arrogant and reserved, yet loyal and fair. Initially, under the influence of DIO (the vampire implanted a flesh appendage into him), he was cruel and attacked innocents. After being freed from DIO's control, he joined the group out of gratitude to Jotaro and a desire for redemption. His Stand is Hierophant Green (Tarot card: "The Preacher"). He can shrink and enter a person's body, taking control of them.

Joseph Joestar. Jotaro's aged grandfather, Jonathan Joestar's grandson. In this installment, he acts as a mentor. He's gray-haired, but retains an athletic build. He's energetic, cunning, and humorous, yet loyal to his family. His Stand is Hermit Purple (named after the Tarot card "The Hermit"). It manifests as a purple, thorny vine: it can immobilize or strangle an opponent, pinpoint a target's location, and transmit images and thoughts remotely (to a television or camera).

Jotaro Kujo. The main protagonist. The son of Holly Kujo and the grandson of Joseph Joestar. He is tall (195 cm) and muscular, with black hair, a strong jawline, thick eyebrows, and green eyes. Personality-wise, he is gruff and withdrawn, yet insightful, determined, and loyal to those he considers close. He is driven to save his mother from the deadly effects of his awakened Stand and to stop DIO. His Stand is Star Platinum. He is characterized by immense strength, speed, and precision. He can extend his fingers for attack (Star Finger) and, in the finale, he reveals the ability to stop time (The World).

A group of stardusts or a user stand. Has five stand holders in its team. Jotaro Kujo is the protagonist, the son of Holly Kujo. His primary motivation is to save his mother, who is slowly dying because her Stand cannot manifest properly. He is decisive and insightful, and rarely loses his composure in battle. His Stand, Star Platinum, is characterized by strength, speed, and precision; in the finale, it unlocks the ability to stop time. His catchphrase is "Yare Yare Daze" (roughly translated as "wow"/"oh my"). Joseph Joestar is Jotaro's grandfather. In his old age, he develops a Stand. He serves as Jotaro's navigator, maintaining contact with the Speedwagon Foundation. He accompanies his grandson to rescue his daughter, Holly. Mohammed Abdul is a stern Stand user from North Africa. He was the one who explained the concept of Stands to Joseph and told him about Dio's appearance. His knowledge of Dio's minions has proven helpful to the team on more than one occasion. Noriaki Kakyoin is a shy high school student. Initially a subordinate of DIO, Jotaro saved him, and Kakyoin joined the group out of gratitude and because it was his first encounter with a Stand. He becomes more determined as the story progresses. Jean-Pierre Polnareff joins the team later than the others (except for Iggy). Initially, he wanted to avenge his sister, who was killed by DIO's henchman. Later, after Avdol's death, but later revealed to be alive, he realizes he has become attached to his comrades and begins to help them. Iggy is a stray dog ​​and Stand user. He was captured in New York by Joseph and Abdul and then transported to Egypt by the Speedwagon Foundation. Initially, he was reluctant to fight and even irritated the team, but by the end, he had become a team spirit. He understands speech, but cannot speak.
