A quick recap of Am I Actually The Strongest? Episode 1
Episode 1 of Am I Actually The Strongest? opened with Haruto Zenfis being reincarnated as a baby to a king and queen in a fantasy world. Following his birth, he was given the maximum level of magic 1002, but because the devices used to measure people's mana levels weren't designed to measure numbers higher than two digits, Haruto was shown level 02. As a result, Haruto was abandoned in the forest to die.
In the forest, Haruto attempted to use his magic, which was relatively simple for him. While attempting to practice magic, a demon dog named Frey appeared and attacked Haruto, but was easily defeated by him. The demon dog then accepted Haruto as his master and assumed a human appearance as Haruto declared himself to be the demon king.
Following this, another character named Gold Zenfis, appeared, who took on the responsibility of raising Haruto after he and his wife previously had a child, but it was stillborn. When he found Haruto in the woods, he took both him and Frey into his care since the latter had already identified the baby as her master. The plot then saw a time skip of nine years, where the protagonist was seen with his family.
Since everything was going well with Haruto, his only issue was that his sister, Charlotte Zenfis, did not get along with him. As a result, his mother told him that she will do everything she could to bring the two closer together. It was also shown that Haruto had reached such a high level of magic use that he was able to create a robot version of himself, which he often left to his family to replace his position.
At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Gold had chosen to teach Haruto how to use a sword. During their training sessions, Haruto avoided all of Gold's swings. After the training ended in the evening, Gold informed his wife that he might be the returned demon because the royal family had records showing a man who had been lain with demons.
However, he also suggested that because Haruto possessed the royal insignia, which possesses special powers, this could be the reason why Frey, a demon, showed such deference to Haruto.
What to expect from Am I Actually The Strongest? episode 2?
Viewers will see Haruto relieved of his sword fight practice in Am I Actually The Strongest? episode 2. However, bandits will attack the kingdom's border, which is guarded by Margrave Gold in the interim. However, when the bandits will succeed in taking down Gold, Haruto and Frey will go and finish them off.
As seen in episode 1, Charlotte Zenfis did not get along with his brother. In Am I Actually The Strongest? episode 2, she will continue to monitor Haruto for several days.
