Seiya Ryuuguuin

"Be careful. Be cautious. Be overly cautious. You may find yourself alienated or hated, but you have to endure it all. This time, for sure, you'll prove that you can save your friends, your loved ones, and the entire world."

- Seiya's self-reminder

Seiya Ryuuguuin (竜宮院 聖哉) is the main protagonist of the The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious series. He is the hero chosen by the goddess Ristarte, and a hero renowned for his extreme cautions.

Appearance
Seiya is a very tall and muscular young man with black Eyes and black spiky and well-kept haircut which down turned and leans to his right, commonly seen covering his right eye. In the manga, his hair is more swept back, unkempt.

Seiya is almost always seen with a calm and pensive expression, unless he is annoyed or angered and he is unanimously thought of as attractive by just about anyone he meets, even gods or enemies.

His outfit consists of a white undershirt, a black jacket and pants, and armor covering his crucial points such as his chest and joints. In the manga, his outfit is identical other than a belt over his waist and a different pair of shoes that are notably less medieval in appearance than his anime counterpart. He also has an extremely large set of bracelets that give resistances and stat boosts hidden from view under his jacket. They seem to weigh Seiya down but the resistances they give outweigh them for him.

When Seiya was first summoned, he was portrayed with much more casual and modern clothing.

Personality
Seiya is defined by his overly cautious nature who refuses to face any enemy he is not fully sure that he can defeat. He will attack defeated enemies repeatedly on the off chance that they can revive themselves, and trusts no one for they could be an enemy or carry a deadly illness.

However, his cautious nature also makes Seiya extremely diligent when it comes to preparing for future battles. He would grind for levels for days at a time and is almost tireless in his training.

Seiya also tends to speak bluntly to others and is quick to express his dissatisfaction with the opinions and actions of others. He seems rather inexperienced and ignorant of socialization, as he has been unable to spot other people's clear romantic feelings for him and has no trouble pouring holy water over strangers heads or picking hairs off Ristarte while she sleeps yet still is unaware of why these actions upset people.

Despite coming off as a person who does not care about anyone, his actions are driven by a want to avoid harm or death coming to those he cares about, even if it means pushing them away. In reality, he truly cares about both the people around him and the world he must save.

Seiya also seems to have no real hobbies or interests outside of things that will help him defeat his enemies. When confronted with things such as tasty food, celebration, or even sexual encounters, he is always dismissive and uninterested.

Despite his arrogance and harsh attitude he is actually a kind man and always try to protect his companion at all costs

History
100 years ago, before being summoned to save Gaeabrande, Seiya was summoned by the goddess Ariadoa to save the B-ranked world of Ixphoria. During this time, Seiya was very reckless and dismissive of trainings, earning warnings from his fellow party members Princess Tiana and Colt. However, right when they were celebrating their victory, the demon lord attacked Colt from behind and pierced his chest with his tongue. The lord revealed that it had two lives and the hero only managed to take one before swallowing Ariadoa to regain his strength. Seiya, realizing Tiana and him were in no condition to fight, told Tiana to run away but the demon lord went after her first and revealed that she was carrying Seiya's unborn child. Cruelly, the demon then killed Tiana and the child in front of Seiya before killing him. Seiya lost all his memories about that world, but the pain and regret of not being able to save his loved ones were deeply carved into his soul.

Story
When Ristarte summoned Seiya to become a hero, he was initially extremely wary of the development and the goddess. When Rista asked him to say Status he instead said Properties and he saw a message from his past self, so he refused to begin his adventure right away and instead trained in his room for days.

When he finally did visit the S-Rank world of Gaeabrande, he immediately bought three sets of armor and items to help him escape from battle. Then he defeated a single slime by repeatedly, and unnecessarily, attacking it with his strongest techniques. However, this ends up drawing the attention of one of the Demon Lord (Gaeabrande)'s Four Heavenly Kings, Chaos Machina.

Seiya and Ristarte quickly flee from her and return to the Realm of the Gods. Here, Seiya begins training once again. He returns to Gaeabrande just before Maquina could kill another hostage, the father of a child he encountered earlier, and manages to defeat her augmented form.

After his victory, Seiya begins training with the sword god Cerceus but quickly becomes more powerful than the god. Then, he and Ristarte begin exploring more of the world, quickly discovering that a zombie army is approaching another village.

It is revealed that this army is summoned by the second heavenly king, Deathmagla. Seiya and Rista go to a church where Seiya kills a fake, zombie priest by pouring holy water over it. After this he destroys the church to prevent the priest from being resurrected. This draws the attention of Mash and Elulu, who state that they will kill Deathmagla's army themselves. Before they even get the chance to come near the army however, Seiya destroys off the army with ease. After which he returns and meets with Elulu in an inn were Elulu states that Mash is gone. Moments later, Seiya, Rista and Elulu receive a magic mirror by mail. The mirror is revealed to be a communication device where one can see and speak with whoever is on the receiving end. Deathmagla reveals himself on the other end and formally introduces himself. He threatens to kill Mash, whom he has captured and already visibly tortured. Seiya plots a plan in which he returns to the Divine Realm so that he can instantly reappear at Deathmagla's location. Having done so, Rista and Seiya come to face-to-face with Deathmagla. Deathmagla summons his most powerful monster, Dark Firus, to dispose of Seiya. While the monster is immune to most attacks, a certain sequence of attacks/magic can defeat it which Seiya takes advantage of to the surprise of everyone. After killing Dark Firus, Seiya kills Deathmagla and thus rescue Mash. Mash and Elulu then join Seiya as his equipment carriers

After this, Mash suggest Seiya and Rista to go to Dragon Village because they have the only weapon that capable to defeat demon lord hearing this Rista wants to go there as soon as possible but Seiya refuse and want to go to Heavenly world instead

Powers and Abilities
Seiya's main strength comes from his extremely cautious nature. Due to his nature, he thinks of almost any possibility and scenario a potential enemy can come up with, allowing him to prepare for almost anything. Another great strength of Seiya is that he is immensely good at learning new techniques to defeat his enemy. Besides this, he has trained himself up until peak condition. He is immensely fast, durable, strong, and a skilled sword fighter. Despite this, Seiya can still be harmed, this is especially the case in an opponent who have higher stats then himself. Because he learned Valhalla Gate he has the potential to kill any enemy, albeit at the cost of his own life. Seiya has an 'EXP boost' ability which allows him to level up quicker.
