The Exiled Heavy Knight Stands Proud and Mighty

Elma slowly regained memories of his previous life and noticed his rebirth inside his favorite VRMMORPG. The world differs in a few ways, but he’s still excited to regain his former class and go on grand adventures. His dreams quickly became his undoing when his family thought of his favorite class as nothing more than trash. Elma’s own father banishes him and forbids him from using his family name. We’ll see him prove his true worth when The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System (Tsuiho Sareta Tensei Ju Kishi wa Gemu Chishiki de Muso Suru) premieres sometime in July 2026.

The Exiled Heavy Knight Cast

The titular isekai protagonist, his cute clown friend, and an unhinged swordswoman are as follows:

Elma Edvan — Takeo Otsuka (Aquamarine Hoshino from Oshi no Ko). Elma is an isekai protagonist who favors a heavily underestimated class.
Luce Rubis — Shion Wakayama (Henao Jazz from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury). Luce is a cute clown thief. That makes her Best Girl.
Maris Edvan — Natsuko Abe (Lasa, Lalu, and Lize from Farming Life in Another World). Maris is the unhinged Sword Saint who usurped Elma’s place in his family.

The Exiled Heavy Knight Min-Maxes His Way to Glory

Elma Edvan has only recently regained his memories of a previous life. He’s found himself in his favorite VRMMORPG, Magic World. Elma hopes to regain his preferred class, one that his fellow gamers dismissed as garbage. With that, he thought of living a good and adventurous life. The day he unlocked his Heavy Knight class was the end of his comfortable life. His father derided his class, slapped him down, and disowned him. A crazy-eyed girl named Maris received the Sword Saint class and Elma’s inheritance.

Elma immediately went to work to build himself up as he had before in Magic World. He proved his might against a powerful monster, earned the respect of an adventurer’s guild official, and recruited a cute clown thief named Luce. Her party used and abused her without seeing her true worth. I mean, besides being a clown girl, she has a skill that increases her luck to astronomical levels. Elma’s going to be fine, even if his world differs from the video game he played in his previous life.
