No Game No Life is definitely one of the best anime's ever created in both story and the
way the characters were developed.
I was even more pulled in by the way each episode written.
The many scenarios that Sora and Shiro went through and the way they pulled things of
made the story within each episode that more interesting.
Though it was short lived in terms of the number of episodes and the fact that the entire
story was never completed in the anime, fans still want more, and I'm excited about the
fact that there is a movie scheduled to come out for the series.
This movie isn't a continuation of what we have seen but it is sure to be very fun.
So without any further delay, let's get into the content of this video.
Here are 48 In Depth Things that you may or may not know about No Game No Life.
1.
The story of No Game, No Life centers around Sora and Shiro, a brother and sister whose
reputations as brilliant NEET hikikomori gamers have spawned urban legends all over the Internet.
These two gamers even consider the real world as just another "crappy game."
One day, they are summoned by a mysterious boy to an alternate world.
There, this boy has control over everything and has prohibited war and declared this to
be a world where "everything is decided by games"-even national borders.
Humanity has been driven back into one remaining city by the other races.
Will Sora and Shiro, the good-for-nothing brother and sister, become the "Saviors of
Humanity" on this alternate world?
"Well, let's start playing."
2.
The manga adaptation is written by Yuu Kamiya and illustrated by Mashiro Hiiragi, who are
also the author and illustrator of the light novels.
Serialization began in the monthly seinen manga magazine Comic Alive, published by Media
Factory, on January 27, 2013.
It has been collected in a single tankoubon volume as of December 2013.
The North American publisher Seven Seas Entertainment released an English adaptation of the manga
in October 2014.
The episode titles follow the titles of each chapter in the light novels.
3.
A spin-off manga titled No Game, No Life, Desu! is now serializing on Montgly Comic
Alive starting from May 27, 2015.
The manga is drawn by Yuizaki Kazuya and features its original story plot described from the
view of Izuna.
1st volume was released on the 23rd of January 2016.
4.
Abandoned by his parents, Sora is a brilliant NEET hikikomori gamer along with his step-sister,
Shiro, with whom he forms Blank.
Having gone through a rough childhood, he has a lackadaisical hate towards life and
is pretty much dedicated only to gaming.
5.
Sora is a tall and lean young man with smooth fair skin, spiky red hair in the light novel
but a complete maroon in the anime.
He has red eyes with dark bags under them which are probably due to excessive gaming
with no signs of rest or in other words sleep deprivation and he constantly wears a sly
grin on his face.
He was also seen in the old King's clothing and his yellow shirt which has the text "I
(heart) humanity" in Kanji, along with a blue undershirt with a red hand band and sneakers.
He wears his crown on his left arm.
6.
Despite being a NEET and shut-in, Sora is extremely outgoing, confident, with endless
vitality and virility, not afraid to play with people face to face, even when they are
cheating.
He's extremely manipulative, which he calls "negotiation and diplomacy skill."
This complements the playing style of Shiro consisting of logic and calculations, while
his consist of emotions, observations, deductions, behavior, language, tactics and human logic.
He can be extremely arrogant and speak in a condescending manner with those he plays
against, especially AFTER discovering a winning method.
7.
However, if he is separated from Shiro by so much as a closed door, he becomes a spineless,
cowardly wreck and only returns to his former self if he is able to see or hear her.
He views his sister as his equal and partner and even looks up to her, but is also protective
of her, such as putting his body between her and the ground when he thought they were going
to hit hard ground when first arriving in the world of Disboard.
8.
Despite being a shut-in, Sora has incredible superhuman charisma and eloquence.
He is an excellent and natural speaker, always knows exactly what to say to get others on
his side.
He has no problems dealing with people.
9.
While not as intelligent as Shiro in calculations, he is shown to have a brilliant super-genius
IQ and an eidetic memory which enables him to quickly learn, understand, and easily recall
limitless amounts of information perfectly and rapidly.
This is demonstrated during his card game with Stephanie.
Rather than computing numbers like Shiro, Sora can quickly determine what his opponents
are going to do based on observation of their behavior and motivations, a technique called
"cold reading."
His amazing observational and deductive skills help him come up with complex plans quickly
and easily.
This is shown during his game against Jibril and when he figured out the previous King's
plan to beat the Werebeast.
He was even able to learn to read Imanity-go in just about one hour slower than his sister
(self-proclaimed).
10.
In the light novel, Sora's family isn't being explained well.
But there are parts from Shiro's point of view which tell about their parents.
Sora and Shiro are step-siblings, which means Sora's father married Shiro's mother.
After the wedding, his family lived together, and that's when he met Shiro.
When she saw Sora for the first time, Shiro mumbled ".....Really......how empty......,"
as Sora was smiling when people smiled; A smile that contained nothingness and lacked
expression.
Shocked at hearing that comment, as if he found something big, Sora smiled and asked
her to play game with him.
That day, they played 20 games in a row.
11.
As time elapsed, the siblings began to live together.
Sora mentioned that "those that were called their parents were no longer present," implying
that their parents abandoned them.
He mouthed out such words to his little sister in reply, "Meh, from now on, it's just you
and me then."
From that point onward, with their names joined together, they started to play online games.
Conjoining the two names: Sora (Sky or Empty) and Shiro (White), Blank was created.
One after another, he kept coming up with strange, adaptable strategies that even his
step-sister herself could not imagine.
But then, the precise and accurate deductions that Shiro calculated out had far exceeded
the expectations of Sora.
At that time, the siblings started to play games as a Two in One.
With an unbroken streak of victories, the two of them even came to be regarded as an
urban legend on the Internet.
12.
Sora and Shiro's surname was said to be "Nai" by the author.[1] This can be interpreted
that their surname is literally Nai or that they have no surname, as Nai (ない)? in
Japanese means none.
It can also be interpreted as a joke, because when combined with their first name, Nai Sora
(ない空)?
means "not empty" or "not Sora."
13.
Also, His Japanese voice actor, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, is the voice of the main protagonist
of the popular anime series Sword Art Online.
14.
Now enough about Sora, Let's talk a bit about Shiro.
Shiro (白しろ, Shiro)? is the main female protagonist of No Game, No Life and the calm
and calculative half of the siblings.
Abandoned by her parents, Shiro is an 11 year old genius NEET hikikomori gamer who, along
with her step-brother, Sora, form Blank.
15.
Shiro is a pale-skinned girl with long, messy white hair with a pale blue, purple, pink,
green, and yellow tint and large, passive golden/yellow-red eyes.
She is rather slim and about average height (for an eleven year old).
She often wears a purple sailor uniform which seems to be very loose on her, along with
thigh high stockings.
Her mouth usually resembles that of a cat's.
16.
Shiro is described as a genius in logic and problems, but has difficulty understanding
emotions or behaviour, relying on Sora to help her defeat beings with emotions such
as Tet in their chess match.
She also rarely shows much emotion at all on her face and, despite her genius intellect,
speaks in short terse sentences and in a third-person perspective.
Shiro is a master of Chess, and has won every chess game that she has played.
She can speak 18 languages and learns Imanity's language in 15 minutes (while Sora needed
one hour).
She is also excellent with games and, along with her brother, is the best in more than
280 games.
She is shown to have a dry and somewhat twisted sense of humor, and displays signs of jealousy
if Sora pays serious attention to other girls, showing she has a brother complex.
17.
While a genius, Shiro has trouble dealing with the human aspects of games, like reading
human opponents and predicting their moves.
A human player doing something unpredictable can unsettle and confuse her, and she relies
on Sora to tell her when a human opponent is leading her into a trap, as shown in their
chess game with Tet.
Her other weakness is her reliance on Sora.
She must be within range of sight and/or sound to Sora or else she'll fall into an almost
catatonic state 18.
The Exceed (十六種族イクシード, Ikushīdo)?
refers to the 16 sentient races of Disboard whom the Ten Pledges apply to.
They are ranked based on their affinity to magic.
No mixing across races is observed in Disboard.
The top 6 races are regarded as "Life" (生命, Seimei)?
while the bottom 10 races are regarded as "Creatures" (生物, Seibutsu)?.
The split between the top 6 and bottom 10 races represent the difference of heaven and
earth, as the Seimei are vastly more powerful than the Seibutsu.
All races were created by the Old Deus, except for the Imanity.
19.
The Flügel reside in Avant Heim, the Elves reside in Elven Gard, the Werebeasts reside
in the Eastern Federation, the Seirens, as well as the Dhampir, reside in Oceando, the
Dwarves reside in Harden Fell, and the Imanity reside in Elkia.
The names of the other countries which the rest of the races reside have yet to be revealed.
20.
Now the next few facts will be information about a few of the races but not in any particular
order.
The Fairy (妖精種フェアリー, Fearī)? are the race ranked 9th of the Exceed.
According to Volume 5, they (or at least some of them) are currently imprisoned by the Elves
and are being harnessed for their magical abilities.
21.
The Elementals (精霊種エレメンタル, Erementaru)? are the third ranked race of
the Exceed.
Every living thing born on Disboard contains traces of Elementals.
Elementals are most concentrated in the erogenous zones.
The body of a Flügel is said to be entirely made up of elementals, and the Elementals
are most concentrated in their wings.
The network, which elementals form within a body, is termed as an Elemental gallery.
It is from this gallery that the races of the Exceed below the Elementals' rank (with
the exception of Imanity) can control the flow of elementals to generate their specific
abilities according to their race.
22.
In the sixth episode, the siblings caused Jibril's Elemental gallery to disappear during
materialization shiritori, which restricted her physical abilities and rendered her unable
to fly.
Jibril also brought an Elemental water infused shampoo for Shiro to use, which lessened Shiro's
dislike of baths.
According to Volume 6, elemental particles are originally blue in color.
Imanity is unable to see this due to their lack of a connection to the Elemental Gallery.
23.
The Flügel (天翼種フリューゲル, Furyūgeru)? are the sixth ranked race of
the Exceed.
Their homeland is Avant Heim, a floating city in the sky.
The kanji for their name can be read as angels, but Sora noted that they are more alike to
demons, as they hold powers of mass-destruction and massacred countless beings during the
ancient war.
The race is governed by the Council of Eighteen Wings consisting of 9 Flugels that rule in
an oligarchical fashion.
In emergency situations, Azriel, the Representative of the Winged, puts forth the decisions
24.
Imanity (人類種イマニティ, Imaniti)? is the race that represents humanity within
the world of Disboard and of the protagonists, Sora and Shiro.
Imanity is ranked as the 16th race of the Exceed due to having no affinity for magic
whatsoever, leaving them unable to sense or use it.
The current representatives of Imanity are Sora and Shiro while the representative prior
to them was the Former king of Imanity.
25.
Sora claims that the "strength" of the Imanity comes from their weakness.
This gave Imanity the wisdom to run from magic and strength as well as the ability to learn
and gain experience to predict the future.
While this may be an ability any race may use, only the Imanity have been shown to use
it, because their weakness makes it a requirement to do so.
26.
The Seiren or Mermaids (海棲種セーレーン, Sērēn)? are the 15th ranked race of the
Exceed.
The current representative of the Seirens is their empress Laira who was in a self-induced
cold sleep for around 800 years until woken up recently by Sora.
Their capital city is Oceando but it is unknown whether this is their only city or if they
have settlements expanding into other parts of the ocean.
The Seirens are considered to be stupid by most races; according to Plum and Jibril,
Seirens only know how to play and mate and are very carefree, even at the prospect of
their race going extinct.
27.
The Ex-machina (機凱種エクスマキナ, Ekusu Makina)? are the 10th race in the Exceed.
They appear to be a race of cybernetic life forms that appear in volume 6, not much is
currently known about them.
The only known Ex-machina is a character known as Shuvi.
28.
Due to their nature of living in clusters and sharing a linked mind, as well as their
AI-like nature, they have superior calculation abilities and communication usually takes
no more than 3 seconds.
It is said that they are able to replicate any attack launched at them in less than 10
seconds after seeing it.
29.
The Dragonia (龍精種ドラゴニア, Doragonia)? are the fourth ranked of the Exceed.
While a dragon appears in the anime's first episode, it appears much later in the light
novels.
It is also worth noting that Jibril states that it took about 50 Flügels during the
war to take down a Dragonia, which clearly illustrates their power.
The only known Dragonia so far are: Aranrave, Hartyrave and Reginrave.
30.
The Werebeasts or Warbeasts (獣人種ワービースト, Wābīsuto)? are a race of kemonomimis and
the 14th ranked race of the Exceed.
They currently live on the islands of the former Eastern Union that is now a self-ruling
territory of the Elchea Federation.
The race as a whole is represented by Miko while their Race Piece is a pawn.
They have enhanced physical capabilities as well as senses, and are able to use 'kekkai'
as a sixth sense to sense heart rate and other minute details.
There are countless different tribes of Werebeasts, each of which have different physical features
but all have animal-like attributes.
31.
The Werebeasts generally have heightened senses and physical abilities above that of many
of the races ranked seven or below, otherwise categorized as the Living Beings races.
This is done by controlling the Elementals within their bodies to allow them to attain
superhuman capabilities along with sensory acuteness in all five senses and being able
to detect the presence of magic.
While they were considered to have a sixth sense to read minds, it was revealed to be
just a combination of their heightened five senses to detect involuntary and voluntary
body movements to determine possible intentions (known as cold reading) and changes in heart
rate to determine if someone is lying or not, similar to a polygraph.
32.
The Elves (森精種エルフ, Erufu)? are the seventh ranked race of the Exceed and
were created by Kainasu.
Their homeland is Elven Gard, the largest nation on Disboard.
Though the elf country is democratic with the largest families within the council of
elders, they often have slaves from other races to serve them from within the conquered
territories they have claimed or from bets that have been lost, this often results in
generational slave families living with their owner families for life such as Chlammy Zell
lives with Feel Nirvalen.
It is noted that there are currently 2 factions within Elven Gard, the council of elders and
the Hero of elves, who was not given much detail other than the Hero of Elves has the
support of the Elven people, while the council is trying to gain more power over the people.
33.
The elves have the highest affinity to magic among the Creature Form races and are often
synonymous with magic.
They are the only Creature Form race capable of casting multiple spells at once.
This advantage has allowed them an edge in games against other Creature Form races due
to their unmatched usage of magic as a way to cheat and manipulate games.
Despite this, certain situations such as the video games of the Werebeasts can nullify
their magical advantage and level the playing field
34.
Now let's get back to more stuff about the actual characters.
Hatsuse Izuna (初瀬 いずな, Hatsuse Izuna)? is a Werebeast girl and the former ambassador
of the Werebeast race to Imanity.
After Sora and Shiro forced the werebeasts to join the Elchea Federation, Izuna was directed
by Miko to follow and learn from them.
Sora and Shiro have a habit of petting her fur (tail) yet she seems to enjoy it (much
to the chagrin of her grandfather).
Stephanie has noted that she actually shares similarities to Sora and Shiro, such as lacking
common sense, being arrogant towards others, and being extremely smart and competent at
gaming.
35.
Similar to other werebeasts, Izuna has a combination of animal and human traits, with her having
fox-like ears and a fluffy tail.
She has dark purple hair and chestnut eyes (black hair and black eyes in the light novel).
Her pupils are vertically slitted, similar to those of a cat.
When Izuna uses her "Blood Destruction" ability, she grows a longer tail, and all fur from
her body turns red.
She also has a red symbol on her forehead.
36.
Stephanie Dola (ステファニー・ドーラ, Sutefanii Doura)? is the granddaughter of
the Former King of Imanity.
After the king's death, she gambled to become the next queen of the country.
Although she was forced by the pledges to fall in love with Sora after losing a game
to him in Episode 02, she has since developed feelings for him despite denying these feelings
on a consistent basis.
In the short story that comes with Blu-ray DVD, Steph actually lost a bit of her mind
when she was defeated by Sora again and again.
37.
Stephanie is expressive and emotional, wearing her heart on her sleeve to the point where
she cannot hide her emotions during a poker game.
She loved her grandfather dearly and is angered when people call her grandfather a fool.
She fell in love with Sora due to the pledges forcing her to, and she often has violent
outbursts to try to break free of it.
However, Jibril later stated that the pledge did not specify a time frame, and so should
have worn off, meaning Stephanie had probably truly fallen for Sora.
She loves her kingdom and world and believes in the potential of Imanity (humans).
Stephanie is a sociable person who has many friends from school.
She is easily shocked by Sora's actions, like his sudden declaration of war against other
countries, and usually overreacts about it.
38.
Stephanie is shown to actually be quite smart, being the top of her class.
Unlike Sora and Shiro, Stephanie is able to make friends very easily, making communicating
and gathering information from other (normal) people possible for Sora and Shiro.
She also has contacts to most of the noble families in Elchea, which aids her in diplomatic
resolution when trying to pacify opposing feudal lords who reject Sora's radical policies.
39.
Though she is often ridiculed as nothing more than a "Steph" by Sora and Shiro, she is actually
very proficient at games, especially games that rely on both luck and skill, such as
poker.
She also shows an extraordinary level of competency as she uses her grandfather's technique of
observing and analyzing the opponent's game style in order to beat them in a game later
on.
Hatsune Ino once even commented on her skills, calling her "Imanity's strongest gamer" next
to Blank.
However, this usually means losing the first few round of games (and suffering the consequences)
before making a comeback in the later games.
40.
Chlammy Zell (クラミー・ツェル, Kuramī Tseru, alternatively translated as Clammy
Zell or Kurami Zell)? is a human who allied herself with the elves in order to try and
win the king's contest.
This was due to her belief that humans will never be strong enough and must depend on
others in order to survive.
She is the friend of the elven girl Feel Nilvalen, despite being a slave of Feel's family.
41.
After Sora bet the Race Piece of Imanity in their game with the Eastern Union, Chlammy
Zell challenged Sora in an attempt to win the Race Piece.
However, Sora, as he was challenged and thus had the right to choose the game, chose a
game in which they would both bet everything they have in parts, tricked her into sharing
his memories with her.
After Sora won the game, he returned all memories to the respective owners.
After Chlammy had seen Sora's memories, she decided to go along with him and his plan.
42.
Feel Nirvalen, who usually has her name shortened to Fii, is an elf girl who is Chlammy Zell's
game partner, as well as the one who helps her cheat using her elven magic.
Despite her young physical appearance, she is actually around 52 years old.
It is subsequently revealed that Chlammy is actually her family's slave.
Despite this, they hold a close relationship between each other.
She even begs Sora to restore Chlammy's memories after the latter won them in a game.
Believing that Sora's going to fulfill his words to unite all races, she now works with
Chlammy to claim the leadership of Elves as she cares more about Chlammy than her own
race.
43.
Feel has long golden hair with a pink ribbon that keeps a portion of her hair in a plait
and eyes with dark blue irises and pink clover-like pupils.
She greatly cares for Chlammy, even risking her life for her during the Reversi game.
Despite having pride as an elf, she is willing to swallow it for the sake of Chlammy.
While usually smiling and with a soft voice, she can get serious when the situation calls
for it.
She also harbors a slight hatred for Flügels, as they killed a great amount of elves in
the past.
44.
Tet (テト, Teto)?
Is a self proclaimed "god" and resides in a king chess piece.
He assumed the title after the eternal war which he won after he obtained the Star Cup
before any of the other also so called "gods" and surpassed their strength despite not participating
in the war at all.
Tet does not belong to any of the 16 races although the closest affiliation to him would
be Imanity.
After both Shiro and Sora defeated him in a game of Internet chess, he summoned the
siblings to Disboard, under the guise of saving Imanity.
To challenge Tet for the title of the One True God, one must collect all pieces of different
chess from 16 races.
This means that, under the Ten Oaths, one must defeat or unite all 16 races before being
able to play against him.
45.
Jibril (ジブリール, Jiburīru)? is the youngest and strongest of the Flügel race.
Her love towards knowledge started even before the declaration of the Ten Oaths.
She opposes the book sharing law created by the Council of Eighteen Wings and left Avant
Heim, her homeland, to win the National Library of Elchea from the previous king in a game.
When Sora heard what happened to the library, he challenged Jibril in order to gain knowledge
of the other kingdoms.
When she lost the game, she became Sora and Shiro's servant since she had bet everything
she owned, including herself, claiming that knowledge was worth her own life.
46.
However, she was allowed to keep the library and maintain it although she must now share
it with the rest of Imanity.
Thus, Jibril took the siblings as her masters and over time she began to understand and
accept Sora's belief in the potential of humans.
Unlike Steph, Jibril is happy to become the siblings' underling, and is shown to have
grown feelings toward Sora.
47.
Azriel (アズリール, Azurīru)? is Jibril's "older sister" and the Representative of the
Council of Eighteen Wings.
Her title allows her first say during emergencies but any other decisions still must go through
the Council (of which she is a member).
She is on the cover of Volume 5 and appears in Episode 12.
She was the first Flügel created and thus is the oldest amongst them.
Her role during The Great War was a conveyor of Artosh's will to the rest of the Flugel.
She was responsible for passing the law regarding the sharing of books among the Flügel.
48.
She has an appearance similar to that of the other Flügel, but with some notable differences.
She has a medium length mostly green hair and her eyes are heterochromatic (her right
eye is blue, the left one is golden).
Unlike the other Flugels, she possesses a curved horn on the left side of her head,
possibly representing her dual nature.
And that's just about as far as I go for stuff that you probably should know about
No Game No Life.
