Ranking of Kings follows the story of Boji

Crunchyroll announced the new special Ranking of Kings Treasure Chest of Courage while delving into the background of the plot.

They shared:

"How prosperous your nation is, how many powerful warriors it boasts, and how heroic and strong its king is. These are the criteria that factor into the system known as the Ranking of Kings."

King Bossu, who is rated number seven, is the monarch of the realm where the main character, Boji, was born as the first prince. Boji, who was born deaf, is considered absolutely unsuitable to rule by both the populace and his own retainers as he is so helpless that he is unable to even swing a sword.

Bojji then meets Kage, and his life changes dramatically.
