Weapon

Dragon SwoReinhard van Astrea (ラインハルト・ヴァン・アストレア) is the current Sword Saint, the strongest being in the Kingdom of Lugunica, a member of the Royal Guard, and Felt's knight. Though absent for the majority of the main story, he played major roles in Arc 1, Arc 5, Arc 9, and Arc 10, and a lesser supporting role in Arc 3. He was also one of the main protagonists of The Travelogue of the Finest, and he played a lesser supporting role in The Dream the Lion King Saw.

Born to House Astrea, Reinhard mastered the sword at a young age following the untimely death of his grandmother and succeeded her as the next Sword Saint a few years later. However, due to his immense power and various problems in his own family, Reinhard lives a rough life estranged from his family. Despite this, he is a knight willing to use his power to protect the Kingdom of Lugunica. After fending off the Bowel Hunter during the Loot House Incident, he discovered the last of the Royal Selection Candidates, Felt, and he subsequently pledged his loyalty to her as her knighAppearance

Reinhard stands at exactly six feet tall, making him several taller than Natsuki Subaru. His most striking feature is his distinct flaming red hair that shines as brightly as Felt's crimson eyes. His sparkling blue eyes portray a sense of confidence and recklessness. His slender frame features an array of well-toned muscles, although they're usually hidden by his clothing. The Sword Saint exuded an aura of gallantry, and, at a first glance, he gave off an intimidating air that indicated him as someone who is above the norm. His extraordinarily handsome face, beyond average looks and his open, calming and approachable personality makes him very popular with people, which catches the eye of many women, further exemplifying his magnificenceAs a member of House Astrea, Reinhard's flaming red hair and sky-blue eyes were traits passed down from the first Sword Saint Reid Astrea, and, in Reinhard's case, inherited from his father Heinkel Astrea. However, the visual similarities between Reinhard and his father more-or-less ended there. Instead, many of Reinhard's features were taken from his mother, Louanna Astrea. The two of them share the same jawline, cheek bones, nose, and eye shape. Felt once commented on the striking visual similarities between Reinhard and the Sleeping Beauty.

Reinhard's casual attire is nearly as regal as the uniform he can be usually seen wearing as a member of the Kingdom's Royal Guard. It consists of a well-made black shirt that he also wears as part of his uniform, white trousers with lilac cuffs, black shoes, black gloves, and a double-breasted white long coat with a cutaway front, rolled cuffs, lapels, and lilac lining. The crest of the House Astrea can be seen proudly pictured on the upper part of Reinhard's left sleeve, and a black belt is fastened tightly around his waist. With it, Reinhard fastens his esteemed Dragon Sword whenever he has to go ouPersonality

As the Sword Saint and the Knight of the Royal Guard, Reinhard acts with a high degree of chivalry and elegance, addressing everyone with an unnaturally high level of respect. He is fair, clean, brave, and willing to go out of his way in the name of justice no matter if he's in the line of duty or simply strolling through the Royal Capital. Of course, Reinhard does not believe himself worthy as the current Sword Saint, and often, rather than introducing himself as the Sword Saint, he will instead call himself a descendant of the line of Sword Saints. He is known as the Knight Amongst Knights and is widely trusted among the people of the Royal Capital of Lugunica. As a knight, Reinhard only uses his sword when necessary, since, in addition to being a rule, his iron-clad rule is to not inflict pain to others if not absolutely necessary, be it a normal thug or a member of the Witch Cult. Having said that, when Reinhard is truly needed, he swiftly deals with every threat in a matter of seconds. Most of the time, his presence and name alone are enough to send normal thugs running away, and according to Garfiel Tinzel, there is even a saying that no one can run from him.

He mentioned that his specialty is fighting monsters, but his power is so great that upon unleashing just one of his attacks, Subaru already considered him another monster. Reinhard considered this as an offensive comment, implying that he does not like being judged as someone dangerous even when he has good intentions. Despite not being fond of being referred to, with degrading titles and nicknames, Reinhard is a daily target of scorn and annoyance for his fellow members of the Felt Camp, including Felt, Ton, Chin, and Kan. Despite that, he always brushes it off with a gentle smile, which usually pisses off the group even more, subjecting the knight to even more scorn than before. Despite such unfriendly relationships, however, Reinhard is always prepared to go an extra mile and help them out when in trouble, even when they don't explicitly ask for it. As their mentor and knight, however, Reinhard can also be pretty stern. Chin, for example, will refrain from using his Fire Magic to call Reinhard as, if the Sword Saint doesn't deem the situation dire, he will not hesitate to scold him and apprehend him if necessary. This strict attitude is often aimed at his mistress as well. Reinhard expressed dissatisfaction and even anger, on multiple occasions, such as when Felt carelessly entered the room where Louanna Astrea sleeps, in the Astrea Manor located in the Royal CapitHe is always looking for a way to solve things, even to the point of giving a Sin Archbishop the opportunity to surrender while hoping he will not have to take extreme measures, such as being forced to kill him. In his fight against Regulus Corneas, he even went as far as asking him to stop and leave the city, even after the Sin Archbishop had already killed him and decimated everything in their vicinity. He also respects the decision of his friends, despite the fact that sometimes they criticize him for engaging in matters that do not correspond to him. Due to his unparalleled strength, however, Reinhard is usually the one people turn to when trouble calls, no matter what their relationship with him is.History

Early Life

Reinhard was born the son of Heinkel Astrea and Louanna Astrea. He was loved by everyone. His grandmother's first thought upon seeing him was that he was "a child loved by the world". Two years after his birth, his mother fell into a Sleeping Beauty state, which shook the whole Astrea family to its core.

Once Upon a Time in Lugunica

Roughly 15 years before the events of the main story, Reinhard helped his father, who was trying to convince Marcos Gildark to re-join the Royal Knights. After the latter failed in verbally convincing him, Reinhard took it upon himself to help out his father through any means necessary. He immediately received the Divine Protection of Mind-Changing, which he used to change Marcos' mind, resulting in the latter to swiftly re-join the knights. However, by doing so, he proved to be a threat and alerted a third party to the use of the Divine Protection of Mind-Changing. That night, a group of disguised individuals entered the Astrea Manor located in the Noble District of the Royal Capital. Initially suspecting Heinkel for insurrection on the grounds that he had seemingly used the Divine Protection, after they explained why they came, Heinkel quickly realized it was Reinhard's doing, running to find his son in his room. Heinkel embraced his son and told him he not to use the power again, pleading to the intruders not to take his son away. Reinhard, now scared, immediately deactivated and removed his Divine Protection. After the masked men had already left the mansion, however, he saw a man through a window who mouthed to him a sentence that stuck with Reinhard ever since: “If you care about your family, do your best to serve the kingdPost-Great Conquest

One year later, at the age of five, while hoping to become the Sword Saint for his father's sake, he obtained the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint, and subsequently, the title, while his grandmother Theresia van Astrea lost the protection while she was fighting a fierce battle with the White Whale, leading to her demise. His grandfather, Wilhelm van Astrea, blamed Reinhard for her death after Reinhard told him that she did not lose as the Sword Saint since he was now the Sword Saint, causing their relationship to plummet, leaving only his father who still cared about him. Sadly, his relationship with his father gravely deteriorated as well. After he gained the aforementioned Divine Protection, his father became an alcoholic and supposedly gradually started to blame him for Theresia's death as well. At age 8, an incident occurred in which Reinhard prevented an invasion of Lugunica by the “villains” of the other three nations. As a result, he received his honorary title of “van”, and later that same year, the “Reinhard Law”, deeming him a national threat, was passed, effectively rendering the young boy unable to travel and move outside the Kingdom.[6The Oni Sisters of the Hidden Village

Around three months after the destruction of the Oni village, a 9-or-so-year-old Reinhard came across Rem and a beastified Frederica Baumann facing off against Witch Cultists. Stepping in, he offered to deal with them so that the girl could chase after the escaping Sado. After the ran off, he easily dealt with the cultists and captured them alive, and after leaving them with the guards, he chased after the girls. Deciding to watch over the scene of Sado's corpse, the girls left so Frederica could revert back to her original formFirst Mission

When Reinhard was fourteen, a certain organization that produced and distributed the Hexcel drug ran rampant in the Royal Capital. Due to the suspicion that he was providing the organization information on the knights' activities, Heinkel was put under house arrest to be investigated, which resulted in Reinhard deciding to cross-dress and go undercover to infiltrate the organization. Going by the name Adelheid, he successfully managed to infiltrate the organization, and with help from Julius Juukulius, Reiner Wahrheit and his accomplice were arrested, resulting in their organization being brought down. Afterward, Reinhard spoke to the Six Tongues to promote Heinkel to Deputy Commander of the Royal Knights. Later, after Heinkel was informed of his promotion, suspecting the Reinhard was the reason for it, he confronted him in a tavern and questioned his involvement. However, Reinhard denied his involvement and convinced Heinkel to take the promotion for Louanna. Deciding to take it, Heinkel gave Reinhard permission to join the knights when he became of age. Reinhard went on to relay this to Belmont, an operative of the Six Tongues, and swore to him that he would never swing the sword for the sake of the organization the young man belonged to. One year later, Reinhard joined the knights, becoming the strongest weapon in the Kingdom's arsenalThe Dream the Lion King Saw

During a rescue mission involving Crusch Karsten and the House of Argyle, Marcos Gildark tasked Reinhard to keep an eye on Fourier and the knights accompanying him. While Julius and the rest of the knights were disposing of the reanimated corpses, Miles, who was the culprit behind the incident, tried to make his escape, ignoring Reinhard's warnings, and refusing to surrender. After his attempt to get rid of Reinhard had failed, the latter was forced to incinerate him along with his Flying Dragon as he could not allow the valuable information to reach the Vollachian Emperor.

Months during the Royal Family’s plague

After the entire Royal Family fell victim to a mysterious disease which slowly killed them off one by one, Reinhard was tasked to reach the Sage in order to find a cure for the incurable illness. When approaching the Pleiades Watchtower, however, he was unable to pass through the Sand Time and was forced to retreat. Due to the mission's failure, every member of the Royal Family succumbed to the illness,[7] subsequently resulting in Reinhard blaming himself for their deathsThe Travelogue of the Finest

Roughly 4 to 5 months prior to the events of the series, a couple of months after the entire Lugunican royal family died, Emperor Vincent Vollachia invited Reinhard to the Sacred Vollachia Empire alongside two members of the Council of Wise Men in order to negotiate a non-aggression pact. In order to at least partially suppress Reinhard's power, he was forced to wear a so-called Collar of Subservience, a meteor which suppresses its wearer's powers.[9] The three of them would by accompanied by Julius and Ferris. After the initial negotiations ended on a rather negative note, Reinhard wad summoned to the Emperor's chambers, where he suddenly found himself surrounded by corpses of the guards and one of the Nine Divine Generals, Balleroy Temeglyph. Having been accused of attacking the guards, Reinhard had no other option but to take Vincent hostage and escape with Julius and Ferris. While they were running away from the whole Vollachian army, the Sixth and Eighth Divine Generals, Groovy Gumlet and Moguro Hagane, attacked the trio in an effort to retrieve the kidnapped Emperor. While Ferris and Julius were preoccupied with securing the Emperor's life, Reinhard fought the two Generals barehanded and defeated them without suffering any damage whatsoever. Not long after, Cecilus Segmunt himself made his debut and attacked Julius, almost managed to decapitate him when Reinhard returned, used Cecilus' broken katana to deflect all of Blue Lightning's strikes and delivered a devastating kick, knocking the famed Divine General out instantly. After the three Generals made their retreat, the three Royal Guards were attacked by 30 highly skilled and feared Vollachian assassins from the Insect Cage Clan; Reinhard made quick work of them as well, defeating all 30 of them without killing a single one or taking a hit. After Reinhard's awe-inspiring display of power, Vincent was able to safely return to the Crystal Palace where he apprehended the culprits and officially signed the non-aggression pact between the Kingdom of Lugunica and the Vollachia Empire.

Roughly one month after the Empire incident, Reinhard was sent off on an escort mission to the Kingdom's border with the Holy Kingdom of Gusteko. When he returned to the Royal Capital, Cecilus Segmunt was waiting for him, requesting a rematch, though, this time, he had the Fiend Sword and the Dream Sword with him, setting on showing him just how powerful he is. After Marcos arranged a proxy match between the Sword Saint and the Blue Lightning, Reinhard was finally able to fight the famed Vollachian General for real, and after both drew their blades, they fought. Both of them have survived the duel, Reinhard with next to no injuries and Cecilus with relatively notable gashes all over his body, and they resolved to claim the end of the fight as a drFelt-chan's Imprisonment Life

After the Loot House Incident, Felt woke up to find herself naked in an unfamiliar room. Reinhard appeared and said that her clothes were currently being washed and that they would be returned soon. In her frustration, she asked where they were and why Reinhard brought her there, to which he revealed that he brought her to the rarely used Astrea Manor in the Royal Capital. Afterward, he gave her another insignia, and after it shined in her hand, he explained that it meant that she was chosen by fate and needed to appear at the castle. This angered her, and though when she attempted to deceive him by asking for a pair of clothes to wear, she attempted to escape, only to easily be caught. Reinhard claimed that if she was able to escape the manor, then he would not go after her. However, he and the servants would attempt to prevent her from doing so. Inside, the maid had prepared a dress for her in place of her ordinary clothes, and Reinhard asked her to wear what they had at the manor while she was thereVarious other Divine Protections: Reinhard holds an insanely rich arsenal of Divine Protections. While he has numerous combat-oriented protections, he also has apparently useless or variably specific protections as well: being able to cook various things well, perform art perfectly, having lightning not strike him, having his view unobstructed by fog, revitalizing plant life around him, dress fashionably for any occasion, tell apart salt from sugar, etc. In total, Reinhard is said to possess at least 251 Divine Protections, as calculated by Al,[11] and the amount of them will not stop growing as long as he feels like he needs them.

Revival: Due to having the Divine Protection of the Phoenix, Reinhard is capable of coming back to life even after he has been killed, recovering from any and all wounds that were inflicted upon him.[12] With each revival, he obtains another version of this Divine Protection, essentially preventing him from dying at all. Also, he can choose the location in which he revives, and he can use this aspect to effectively teleport to any location in the world at the temporary cost of his life.[13]

Projectile Repulsion: Thanks to one of his Divine Protections, the majority of attacks that revolve around firing a projectile at Reinhard will curve around him as if a barrier were wrapped around him.

Excellent Teacher: Reinhard is shown to be an excellent teacher, and with the assistance of a teaching and training related Divine Protection, he can dramatically improve a person's fighting capabilities. His teaching has allowed someone such as Gaston to discover how to utilize the Flow Method, and in the non-canon Greed If, he was even responsible for training Garfiel, who he had claimed was improving by the dSuperhuman Stealth: All of Reinhard's movements are completely silent due to a Divine Protection he received at birth. The ability is passive, meaning Reinhard doesn't have to think about acting stealthily to do so. Individuals with an enhanced sense of hearing cannot detect Reinhard's approach, even if he isn't trying to be unnoticed. Ferris, who has a greatly enhanced sense of hearing due to his demi-human ears, noted that Reinhard was the only person who had ever successfully snuck up on him.

Powerful Resistances: Thanks to a few Divine Protections, he can reduce the effectiveness of every element of magic by 80%, and he can even resist the effects of explosions and natural (non-magical) fire or water damage. He is immune to magical buffs, debuffs, curse arts, diseases, toxins/poisons, drugs, alcohol, and becoming sick from other methods, he is heavily resistant to abilities that influence the mind or behaviors such as the Authority of Wrath or reading a Book of the Dead, and he can sense and resist miasma. However, while he can resist miasma, being within a place filled with miasma, such as the Augria Sand Dunes, puts him at his weakest. While this is negligible considering his own immense level of power, he will not receive the assistance of spirits in such an environment, and weathering attacks while in this environment means that he cannot rely on them coming to heal himVarious Strengthening Methods: Several of his Divine Protections provide Reinhard with additional strength when certain criteria are reached: standing beneath blue skies, rainy skies, night skies, morning skies, when he bleeds, etc.

Instant Weapons/Item/Riding Mastery: Thanks to one of his Divine Protections, Reinhard can obtain mastery of any weapon that he gets ahold of, even if he has never seen or heard of the weapon before. However, aside from his hands or swords, Reinhard is uncommonly seen with any other weapon. This also applies to any item he comes across or how to ride vehicles and animals.

Anti-Ambushing: Thanks to some of his Divine Protections, he is unable to be ambushed. Likewise, he is unable to be hit by the first or following strikes at the start of combat unless either he allows it or is unable to avoid the attacks. In a similar manner, he is also able to instinctively know how to avoid taking damage from such attacks, even if he'd never seen them before.

Divine Protection Awareness: During the events of the Battle for Priestella, Reinhard obtained the Divine Protection of Judgement that allowed him to learn the Divine Protections that others hold.

Empathic Resonance/Telepathy: During the events of the Battle for Priestella, Reinhard obtained the Divine Protection of Telepathy. With this, he was able to share his thoughts with his friends or allies.

Hyper Precision: Thanks to one of his Divine Protections, any ranged attack that he unleashes will hit its target.

Air Dashing: One of his Divine Protections allows him to kick off of the air a dash through the skies, giving him pseudo-flight. He can move at intense speeds while in the air, as if he were running full speed on the ground.

Balancing: With assistance from his Divine Protections, Reinhard can maintain his balance in various environments, and they also help prevent him from sinking into terrains such as desert sands. He is even able to walk on clouds, and he can walk on water without sinking. He can also use these Divine Protections to walk or run on things that were not meant to be traversed on, such as one of the stars of the Al SharioMaster Swordsman: Reinhard was born with an inhuman sword talent. He was 5 years old when he received the Divine Protection of the Sword Saint and immediately defeated his father Heinkel Astrea in a duel. At that age, Reinhard was already stronger than the average Royal Knight, only being bested by exceptional and renowned knights such as Julius Juukulius, Bordeaux Zergev, and Marcos Gildark.[14] Although not as skilled as the legendary Reid Astrea, Reinhard's skill with the sword is undoubtedly among the most impressive in the current days, perhaps only being rivalled by Cecilus Segmunt. By the time Reinhard turned 8, he was already regarded as a potential national threat, requiring the so-called "Reinhard Law" to keep him within Lugunica. According to the author himself, by that age, Reinhard van Astrea already was among the strongest characters in the series.Maximum Power Sword Slash: Reinhard unleashes a devastating attack that destroys everything around him and splits space in half. When Reinhard decides to perform the attack, the mana surrounding him is sucked from the atmosphere and the temperature of the air is noted to drastically drop. His blade begins to give off a brilliant white light and upon slashing down on the opponent, the area in front of him is blown apart, as seen when he blew up the Loot House in Arc 1 and the church in Arc 5. Coupled with his Divine Protection which allows him to always land his first attack, this attack is devastating for the opponent if used as an opening move. Reinhard usually uses it as his opening attack on extremely strong foes like Regulus Corneas. And though strong individuals like Elsa have been able to survive this attack, it is generally capable of vaporizing human beings as shown in the Oboreru IF. A downside to this technique is that Reinhard requires a weapon in order to perform it, but said weapon, even if of astounding craftsmanship, will be destroyed immediately thereafter. The sole exception appears to be the Dragon Sword Reid, which is said to be indestructible.A Slash of the Dragon Sword Reid: Reinhard unsheathes his blade whenever the sword deems Reinhard's opponent worthy of its divine power. Reinhard will take an offensive stance, usually lifting the blade far above his head, preparing himself to end it with a single strike. Similarly to his mana-sucking sword technique, the blade will slowly start to emit a dazzling white light which will soon enough engulf the entire battlefield, blinding the opponents and passers-by. If he's aiming to cleanly dispose of the unlucky foe, he'll swing the blade, cutting everything along its arc, as seen when he fought the previous Sword Saint's reanimated corpse. In his simulated battle against Puck, however, Reinhard used the Dragon Sword in combination with his aforementioned sword skill; with a single swing, the Sword Saint unleashed a destructive wave that incinerated everything in its path, including the Beast of the End. Along the blade's slash the sky split in half, leaving cracks running across it, the ground crumbled and the mana swirled in a vortex, completely destroying the world itself. In the next instant, the world was born anew without any consequences or anomalies left behind. Both attacks are the very peak of what Reinhard van Astrea is capable of doing and what he will do if the situation calls for it.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Due to the Dragon Sword being useless for most of the fights he has to take, Reinhard is most of the times forced to use his bare hands to fight. With his Divine Protection of Unarmed Combat, Reinhard mastered hand-to-hand combat at early age; his hand is more often than not more effective than a sword and can easily bisect a person in half with a single swing of his bare arm. Reinhard skill combined with his inconceivable physical strength makes a deadly opponent to contend with melee combat even without the use of his sword, he utilizes devastating kicks and punches to send opponents flying, along with chops to cleave his opponents or weapons that get in his waySuperhuman Hearing: Reinhard's hearing is claimed to be impressive, with Felt calling it hellish and Reinhard not denying.[15] It is even speculated that he could hear likely distinguish the sound of a needle being dropped a kilometer away.[16]

Defective Gate: According to Eridna, Reinhard's gate is unable to release the mana inside of his body back out into the atmosphere, though she mentions that he is able to absorb an incredible amount and that it doesn't cause any harm to his body as he uses all of his mana to boost his physical abilities, i.e. the Flow Method. Because of this, he can make others unable to use any magic or spiritual arts while he's absorbing mana. Also, Reinhard has no affinity with magic, making him unable to use it at all. Furthermore, according to the author, the exact state of Reinhard's Gate at birth is considered a spoiler.

Superhuman Strength: Reinhard's physical strength is immense. He is capable of easily pushing back and defending against opponents as powerful as Elsa Granhiert or a partially transformed Garfiel with ease. He is even able to combat the Divine Dragon's abilities with his pure might. With the various enhancements provided by his Divine Protections, this strength can be enhanced further. Reinhard could also swing the sheathed Dragon Sword hard enough to create a torrent of wind that parted the air around it. Even as a child, merely jumping onto the ground generated enough force to knock down numerous people.[17] Reinhard's natural strength was far above that exhibited by regular human beings. With his bare hand he is capable of casually bisecting a human in half with a single swipe. In his mighty grip, sturdy materials like steel would bend and shatter, and on his journey to the Vollachia Empire, he even cut Moguro Hagane's steel limb off with a single swing of his bare hand,[18] whose body possessed the durability to endure attacks from Julius Juukulius's sword without suffering any kind of injury. He is also capable of delivering devastating kicks that shatter the floor on impact and are able to send even a stone golem that weighs a couple hundred kilograms flying without much resistaSuperhuman Strength: Reinhard's physical strength is immense.

He is also capable of delivering devastating kicks that shatter the floor on impact and are able to send even a stone golem that weighs a couple hundred kilograms flying without much resistance.

Superhuman Durability: It is incredibly difficult to damage Reinhard, whether with one's physical or magical might, due to both his physical enhancements provided by his Flow Method and resistances provided by his Divine Protections. As of yet, the only times he has taken damage were via attacks provided by someone on a similar level to himself like Cecilus, an Authority that can ignore defenses, or extremely powerful magic such as Al Karum or Magia Railgun.

Superhuman Speed: Reinhard is easily able to traverse long distances in mere seconds, navigating through the Watergate City of Priestella with ease and swiftness, responding to cries of help in mere 30 seconds, despite him being located on the other side of the city. This ability proves especially effective during fights, as he's easily able to reduce several tens of meters worth of distance between him and his enemies in the blink of an eye. One Divine Protection also boosts his speed, and another allows him to ignore air resistance, giving even greater speed.

Superhuman Reflexes: Reinhard can respond to threats in less than a second by moving reflexively, and these reflexes are further improved by his Divine Protections. His reflexes are so great that he is able to dodge and counter the strikes from even the fastest man in the world, Cecilus Segmunt, and counter him. Shortly after escaping, he took on thirty highly skilled assassins from the Insect Cage Clan using sacred and unconventional weaponry and ways of attacking–once more, by simply relying on his reflexes, Reinhard skillfully deflected and parried all of them without faSuperhuman Leaping: With the power of his leg muscles, Reinhard is easily able to leap incredible distances in a single bound. During the incident in the House Argyle, roughly a year before the events of the main story, the Sword Saint was able to effortlessly leap from the ground and reach the cloud line and land on top of a Flying Dragon, maintaining balance on the flying beast which was said to be borderline impossible by a human being.Excess Mana Circulation Constitution (マナ過剰循環体質, Mana Kajō Junkan Taishitsu): Ever since birth, Reinhard's gate was defective, which means he is unable to use any kind of magic. That being said, he can still absorb mana from the atmosphere to bolster his own physical capabilities and nullify incoming magical attacks almost entirely, preventing him from suffering a blow from magic under normal circumstances unless a mage were to alter the composition of a spell mid-casting. He can also channel mana into a weapon, increasing its overall strength and durability. Whenever Reinhard absorbs mana, everyone within a certain vicinity of him is unable to use magic through the usage of external mana, as all mana from the atmosphere diverts to him. People aren't the only creatures affected by the diversion of mana Reinhard causes, as spirits are also unable to draw from it. Reinhard can also drain energy from people directly. After years of having to control his own power, Reinhard can control the amount of mana he drains from a person. By draining a small amount of it, Reinhard can induce a state of sleep in his target as shown when he easily put Felt to sleep. He can also potentially absorb enough energy from a person or a spirit to kill or permanently affect/harm them.

Pseudo Spirit Affinity: Despite being unable to control them or use magic/spiritual arts, Reinhard is highly attractive towards spirits. Whenever he is an area filled with spirits, they will move on their own to heal him if he takes damage. The rate at which they heal him is tremendous, and he can even recover entire missing limbs that have been completely destroyed. His attraction of spirits is on par with Julius's Divine Protection of Gathering Spirits, and it is so strong that Beatrice, a great spirit, preferred avoiding him as much as possible, during the events of Arc Superhuman Intuition: Reinhard's intelligence is stated to be average, but his intuition is incredible, meaning he will always take the most optimal decisions, ensuring his victory in a fight. With just his intuition, he can instantly tell the physical condition of his opponents in battle, by how their bodies feel when he hits them with a weapon. His Divine Protections allow him to quickly learn things he was previously inexperienced in. By simply following his sixth sense, Reinhard easily traversed through an entire city in mere thirty seconds, when he was summoned by one of his comrades.As the current generation's Sword Saint, Reinhard wields the legendary Dragon Sword Reid, which has been passed down from one Sword Saint to another, ever since the era of Reid Astrea four centuries ago. The sword can only be drawn against opponents it deems worthy for it to be used against. Currently, Reinhard has only been confirmed to have drawn his sword on a couple of different occasions: against Cecilus some 3–4 months before Subaru's arrival, and against the undead Theresia in Arc 5's climax, as well as on two other separate occasions against currently unknown individuals.[19] In a now-reverted timeline, Reinhard drew it against a sealed Subaru, and in a possible present from the second of Echidna's Trials, he drew it against Puck, who had undergone his Star Beastification. He can also use the sword in its sheath as shown during his battle with the Sin Archbishop of Greed in the climax of Arc 5, and it is the only object in the series tough enough to withstand the latter's Authority of Greed. It is mentioned that the sword was created by an unnamed master swordsmith and was bestowed with a Divine Protection by the Sword God. The sword's sheath is called Dragon Claw (龍爪, Ryūsō), as the grooves on it are said to have been made by the Divine Dragon itself.Trivia

Reinhard's birthday is on January 1, which also happens to be New Year's Day.

According to the author, Reinhard is scheduled to have a named chapter in the future, though no accompanying arc was confirmed with it. At a talk show in 2023, he stated that he had at least 15 things he wished to depict in it.5.il.nce.. spell..ay..aw..[8]..]om.".al.t..t.rd Reid
