Chillin' in Another World plot summary

Expand Tweet

One of the relatively few isekai series this season, Chillin' in Another World with My Level 2 Super Cheat Powers is mainly set in another world (as evident by the title) known as Klyrode. The series focuses on protagonist Banaza, who is initially summoned to the world of Klyrode as a hero candidate. However, upon further investigation of his abilities, he’s found to have inadequate skills and is banished to a nearby forest.

Here, Banaza slays a single slime and levels up. However, the level-up reveals he has “infinite stats,” which play into the power system of the new world he inhabits. He then disguises himself as Filo using his new skills, doing so out of a desire to avoid the conflict between humans and demons and live a quiet, peaceful life. However, no matter what he does, he can’t seem to help getting dragged into the fight in various conflicts.

This light subversion of the isekai trope is what has many prospective fans keeping an eye on the series, curious to see how an isekai without a heroic protagonist functions. While it should naturally open the series up to plenty of comic relief opportunities, there should also be some exciting action scenes that come out of Banaza being unable to avoid his fate.

Given the series’ seemingly low-stakes plot, fans can expect Chillin' in Another World episode 1 to primarily focus on introducing Banaza and building him up as a character. This would be in addition to the typical episode 1 anime routine, which should also establish the plot, setting, and central characters in a very overt and specific manner.

Episode 1 should also explain how Banaza is summoned to the world of Klyrode, explaining how he became so powerful in the process. Likewise, it’ll likely be revealed that Banaza’s destiny is indeed to be a hero for the world, setting up an additional conflict in the form of what his fate is versus what he wants his new life to be.
