Anime Like The Beginning After The End
For Fans of Dead Kings Starting New Lives
Reborn to Master the Blade – From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire
On his deathbed, Hero-King Inglis is visited by the goddess who gave him her blessing in his youth. He used it to build a mighty empire, but regrets that leadership had to take priority over his martial training.
Offering him a wish, he wishes to be reincarnated in order to devote himself to the life of a warrior.
She grants it, but when he awakens, he finds himself in the body of a baby girl.
Despite the setback, Inglis still maintains some power from his previous life as well as his memories. With his body growing stronger each day, he continues to hone his blade skills.
Similarities Between The Beginning After The End and Reborn to Master the Blade
- The main character was a king who died and is reborn as a baby
- After their previous life, they decide to try new things, like forming human connection and being super overpowered.
- The main character is so talented they get invited to join an academy to hone their skill
- Flashy fights with the main character being the strongest one because they have access to a special magic that most people don’t.
Differences Between The Beginning After The End and Reborn to Master the Blade
- Reborn to Master The Blade is a gender-bender show. The king was a man, but he was reborn as a woman. Though it doesn’t focus on that as much as you’d expect.
- Reborn to Master the Blade is more swordplay-focused, but also has a magic element that augments it.
- Reborn to Master the Blade is more laid-back with its plot and even comical with how much of a battle maniac the main character is. Beginning After The End takes itself far more seriously.
The Misfit at Demon King Academy
After countless wars, Demon Lord Anos Voldigoad decided he would reincarnate into the future.
However, 2,000 years later, he has found that his descendants have become too used to peace and their magical powers weakened because of it.
Reincarnated with his full strength, the sheer magical power of Anos makes him a misfit at the Demon King Academy charged with educating the next generation in waning magical prowess.

- Misfit at Demon King Academy immediately becomes a “go to magic school” series while Beginning After The End saves that for later.
The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
The Demon Lord Varvatos is a power unrivaled. However, being at the top with no challenges and no one who is unafraid enough to be a friend is lonely, so he decides to reincarnate.

While he remains overpowered, he has a singular goal of amassing meaningful friendships.

The Faraway Paladin
Born into a new world, Will awakens as a baby that has been taken in by three undead guardians of a long-dead city.
As he is raised, he is taught magic and swordsmanship, but also learns of the world that surrounds him. A world that was once ravaged by a powerful warrior that the three undead guardians only just managed to seal away.

- The World’s Finest Assassin is pretty clearly a harem affair.
- The World’s Finest Assassin does have an overall goal for the plot, though it is still pretty meandering through various arcs.
- The World’s Finest Assassin focuses less on the main character’s childhood and training, skipping from birth to him already being prodigiously adept and ready to work.

Differences Between The Beginning After The End and Am I Actually The Strongest

- The main character in Saga of Tanya the Evil is in a fight with god and trying to survive, so it feels a little more plot-driven, despite the main character just following military orders.
