What is Campione!?
Campione! is a thirteen-episode action comedy series that aired during the summer of 2012. The story follows Kusanagi GoDo, a sixteen-year-old who gains the title of Campione—a God Slayer—after defeating the God of War in combat. With this unwanted power comes the dangerous responsibility of fighting Heretical Gods that threaten his world, along with an unexpected consequence: attracting devoted female followers who insist on helping with his divine duties. The series balances supernatural action with romance and ecchi humor as GoDo navigates both his god-slaying obligations and the complications that arise from his newfound status.
The show combines high-stakes battles against mythological entities with comedic situations rooted in GoDo's awkward attempts to manage the attention of his followers, particularly the scheming swordmaster Erica Brandelli. This blend makes Campione! appealing to viewers who enjoy action-packed supernatural plots but want something lighter than a pure action series. Since the series finished airing over a decade ago, all thirteen episodes are available to watch in full, making it accessible for anyone looking to experience the complete story without waiting for new releases.
Some people suddenly find religion, but for 16-year-old Kusanagi GoDo, it's that REALLY old time religion that's found him! As the result of defeating the God of War in mortal combat, GoDo's stuck with the unwanted position of Campione!, or God Slayer, whose duty is to fight Herectical Gods whenever they try to muscle in on the local turf. Not only is this likely to make GoDo roadkill on the Highway to Heaven, it's also a job that comes with a lot of other problems. Like how to deal with the fact that his "enhanced status" is attracting a bevy of overly-worshippy female followers. After all, they're just there to aid him in his demi-godly duties, right? So why is it that their leader, the demonically manipulative sword-mistress Erica Brandelli, seems to have such a devilish interest in encouraging some VERY unorthodox activities?
