Rain Ames, a third-year student and prefect of the Adora House at Easton Magic School, is celebrated for his prodigious talents. Known as the “Sword Cane,” Rain also serves as the “Director of the Magical Tool Management Bureau.” His younger brother, Finn, affectionately calls him “Big Brother.”
Unique Magic: Sword Magic
Rain’s unique magic, Sword Magic, allows him to manifest numerous swords, making him one of the most formidable wizards in the series. His initial spell, “Partisan,” can be adjusted in power, making even a 10% output sufficient to overwhelm most students. Rain’s Sword Magic is renowned for its devastating lethality and precision.
Path to Becoming a Divine Awakener
Rain Ames became a Divine Awakener through the final exam of the Three Magic Schools Competition, where candidates from Easton School of Magic, Valkis School of Magic, and St. Al’s School of Sacred Magic vie for the title. Last year, Rain earned the title of “Sword Cane of War” from Easton School.
The Divine Enlightened, the most revered figures in the magical world, are those who have awakened to divine powers and receive immense support from citizens. Rain’s journey to this esteemed status reflects his dedication to transforming the foundations of the magical world.
Director of the Magical Tool Management Bureau
As the Director of the Magical Tool Management Bureau, Rain oversees the strict management of all magical tools in the world. New magical tools are vetted for safety before being distributed to the public. The recent incident involving the “Mirror of Reversal” was not Rain’s fault but rather a previous director’s mistake.
Rain’s actions speak louder than words, embodying his belief that the most crucial things in life are not spoken but demonstrated. His demeanor and steadfast principles have earned him considerable trust and respect.
Rain’s Personal Life and Interests
Despite his serious exterior, Rain has a soft spot for rabbits. He cares for nine pet rabbits, each with distinct characteristics, which only he can distinguish. His affection for rabbits began when his friend Max Land recommended them as a form of emotional therapy during his quest to become a Divine Awakener.
Notable Battles and Achievements
Rain’s strength is evident in his battles, including a notable confrontation with Margaret Macaron, a formidable opponent with a high attack power. Rain showcased his abilities by awakening the divine power within his staff and countering Margaret’s attacks with his black magic, “Black Partisan.”
Rain’s achievements extend beyond his magical prowess. He obtained his third magical scar—the mark of divine selection—at the youngest age ever recorded, underscoring his exceptional talent.
A Brother’s Sacrifice and Support
Rain’s relationship with his younger brother Finn is central to his character. Despite appearing distant, Rain’s harshness stems from a desire to protect Finn and ensure he leads a normal life. Rain’s ultimate goal is to create a world where Finn and others can thrive without the harsh realities Rain himself endures.
In a climactic battle against the “Five Demon Children,” Rain’s dedication to his brother is evident as he faces overwhelming odds to protect Finn. This intense conflict reveals the deep bond between the Ames brothers and their shared history of hardship.
Voice Actor and Legacy
Rain Ames is voiced by Yuuki Kaji, known for roles in popular series like Attack on Titan and The Seven Deadly Sins. Kaji’s portrayal brings depth to Rain’s character, enhancing the audience’s connection to this remarkable figure.
