Of the many deities that the original Netflix Anime presents in this series, today, we bring you the top 10 Blood of Zeus characters ranked. If you’re not familiar with Blood of Zeus, it is an adult-oriented animated show developed by Vlas and Charley Parlapanides under Powerhouse Animation Studios. Secondly, this show debuted on the streaming giant back in late 2020, and it seems it will have five seasons. And it already has two on the platform.
The premise of this show is set on the vast world of Greek mythology. Firstly, we see how demigod Heron goes about the universe trying to save planet earth and Olympus. The show’s Greek aesthetics is prominent everywhere, the drawings are impeccable, and the stories take some inspiration, although not literal ones, from the Greek mythology canon. So, which characters are the toughest? Come with us here at Otakukart to find out!
Top 10 Best Blood of Zeus Characters Ranked
To begin, Blood of Zeus is the kind of show that brings us to the Greek Pantheon. So, before you get all nerdy-bookwormy with me, consider this. All of these characters are hyped, overpowered, and are superstrong. After all, they’re gods and demigods. Moreover, they’re based upon the earliest canons of the excellent classic Western literature and mythos. Also, each of these characters has a special trait, skill, and element that gives them an edge in battle and life. It’s kind of like an RPG-esque feature that the producers wanted to put out there. So, from the heights of Olympus, let’s start off showcasing this wide array of deities.
10. The Goddess of the Hunt: Artemis
Although Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt and of the Moon doesn’t get a lot of showtime in this series. She is a very powerful character. Firstly, she’s Apollo’s twin sister, and if that’s not a big credential. Hadn’t it been for her temper, Zeus wouldn’t have reconsidered his stance when Hera confronted him. She has a unique dexterity with the bow and arrow. And if we consider that there are five seasons of Blood of Zeus, maybe we will see more of her in the future. That’s why she’s currently at the bottom of the list.

9. The God of Fire & Forges, Hephaestus
Thanks to Hephaestus and his fiery forge, every single warrior on the battlefield under Zeus’ banner can be a deadly force. Also, in the Blood of Zeus universe, every item that characters wield is a very fundamental tool that can help them gain an advantage in the field of battle. It’s kind of an RPG lore sort of thing. After all, it was the design of Hephaestus’ gauntlet that gives the edge during the giant’s battle. Also, if you play RPGs, you know that having a weapons crafter on your side is a plus in every single aspect.

8. The Goddess of Knowledge & Wisdom: Athena
Athena is the deity representation of knowledge, wisdom, warfare, and strategy. Her skills in the battlefield are unlike any other. And regrettably, she doesn’t get enough screen time in these seasons. But rest assured that given her powers and her transcendence in the Greek mythos, she might have some impact in the future. After all, her knowledge makes Hera get close to the throne.

7. The God of the Sun: Apollo
Apollo’s handsomeness is as great as his might. For starters, his stature as the sun’s deity gives him the ability to use fire abilities like no other. While Hephaestus can use fire and forges, he’s no rival to what Apollo can do with fire. Secondly, Apollo rides a chariot pulled by two mighty fire horses. Moreover, when he’s really angry, he can make fire rain upon his foes. And he can swing his sword and chop up and hack away. In sum, like the meme says, “he protects, he attacks, and he range”.

6. The Goddess of Law: Demeter
Demeter is the goddess of law and harvest. We don’t see her a lot in Blood of Zeus. And she doesn’t speak at all. She is one of the eldest deities of Olympus. Also, when the hostilities broke out, she sided with Hera. And that’s understandable because Zeus broke his own principles. Despite we don’t see a lot from her, she can make plants grow and can control nature in unimaginable ways. Hopefully, the producers will make her talk and showcase her powers in the upcoming seasons. Because the Greeks would make great feasts in her name during the harvests to celebrate all the good things that the Earth gave.
Artemis, Goddess of Law
5. The Harbinger of the Gods: Hermes
Hermes is a messenger from the Pantheon of the Olympus. His role is to deliver information from point A to point B. To do so, he relies on his incredible speed. Firstly, Hermes has winged boots and a cunning dexterity that gives him the edge on any battlefield. That’s why his fast speeds allow him to make a whirlwind that makes Hera’s army stop in their tracks. He’s so fast he even stroke the God of War during sparring. And that, my friends, is fast.

4. The God of War: Ares
The god of war demonstrates that he is capable of defeating all gods except those from the elder. In fact, Ares, Zeus, and Hades are also the only gods shown to have killed one of the grey beasts during the original war against the giants, putting the god of war in exclusive company. Throughout the series, Ares brandishes a hammer with lethal results. On several occasions, he proves his mettle in battle by confronting and defeating both Apollo and Hermes at the same time.

3. The Goddess of Marriage: Hera
Except for Zeus, everyone respects and fears the usurping goddess. This fear is proof enough of Hera’s power, but it doesn’t stop the makers of Blood of Zeus from trying to demonstrate Hera’s powers. The goddess of marriage nearly takes Olympus from Zeus by using her ability to levitate items with her thought and the ability of shapeshifting. She would have defeated the god of thunder if she hadn’t made the fatal mistake of pledging the seas to the giants, angering one of her most powerful allies.

2. The God of Seas and Oceans: Poseidon
Poseidon isn’t given much screen time in Blood of Zeus to demonstrate his abilities, but the final fight gives audiences a taste of his power. Poseidon’s mastery of water rivals that even for the most powerful water bending anime personalities. When confronted with the law by Zeus in the third episode, the gods are fortunate to have Poseidon on their side. So when King of the Gods continues to threaten them, Poseidon keeps him back, showing his power without ever throwing a punch.

1. The God of the Skies: Zeus
When Hera decides to confront Zeus on Mount Olympus after discovering that he has broken his own rules, Zeus is so self-confident that he well almost initiates a fight with seven of the most powerful beings in existence. His command of the sky and prowess of lightning makes him a formidable foe who must be feared. Hera was well aware of her husband’s power and made certain to confront him with the assistance of others, perhaps uncertain of her own ability to defeat the titan killer.

Where to Watch Blood of Zeus?
During his first year of high school, he was selected to train at the All-Japan youth training camp and joined the V League as soon as he graduated. At the age of 19, he joined Japan’s national volleyball squad and competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was a setter for the Schweiden Adlers of the Japanese V-League Division 1 in November 2018. He is now a part of Ali Roma, an Italian Serie A professional team.
Kageyama’s height and razor-sharp glare are believed to be his most striking physical characteristics and a source of fascination for some female students. He has a slim, muscular frame. His frightening demeanor is heightened by his virtually perpetual scowl. Kageyama was an obsessive perfectionist who cared only about winning and utterly ignored his colleagues’ ideas and well-being. He was perpetually morose, haughty, and clearly short-tempered. His tendency to whine about their performance and yelling commands at them earned him the moniker “King of the Court” among the Kitagawa Daiichi players, a continuous reminder of his oppressive, egotistical attitude during his junior high volleyball career.
1. Court’s King
Kageyama’s middle school teammates have given him the moniker “King of the Court.” They name it such because of its avarice and authoritarian tendencies. In reality, he and his Kitagawa Daichi comrades are separated by an excessive amount of space. Kageyama’s full potential as a setter will not be met by any player on the squad. To achieve this, Kageyama requires a fantastic spiker or someone who is above average.

2. On The Court, Asahi Azumane’s Worries
The Karasuno High players try to reinforce their roster by bringing back their “ace” spiker and all-star defensive libero after nearly upsetting Aoba Johsai in a practice match. It’s unknown why both of these players have stopped playing, but it’s been reported that the team’s ace, Asahi Azumane, was entirely blocked in a match against Date Tech/ He eventually left because he believed he had lost the game for his team, and this attitude encourages Yu Nishinoya, the libero, to do the same. On the court, Kageyama’s mindset was altered when his middle school team refused to hit his sets in protest of his despotic behavior, and he was benched. With the help of Hinata, Kageyama uses this experience to empathize with Asahi, and they eventually bring Asahi and Nishinoya back to the squad.

3. Having Identity Issues As A Player
Kageyama practices alongside and against several of his country’s greatest high school volleyball players during his stay at the All-Japan Youth Camp, which gives a fantastic chance for improvement but also brings into question his opinions on how the game is played. When Atsumu Miya refers to Kageyama as a “goody-two-shoes,” the former “King” is stumped. However, as the camp draws to a close, he realizes that it’s because his playstyle has evolved into something far more flexible and accommodating than his previous uncompromising attitude. He loses track of his player identity while these ideas whirl about in his head, owing to his tendency to over-analyze his judgments.
4. Not An Animal Lover
Kageyama is known for making snide remarks at Hinata and Tsukishima, yet in actuality, he respects them. When Kageyama is conversing with Hitoka Yachi, Karasuno’s manager, he turns nice. Unfortunately, because Kageyama’s visage makes him appear hostile, everybody, including animals, is afraid to speak with him. Animals, according to Kageyama, tend to keep away from him. Perhaps the animal is scared off by his appearance.

5. Reverts to his “King” guise
Following his experience at the All-Japan Youth Camp, Kageyama weighs his personal beliefs against his desire to play his position in the way that his teammates prefer. This ambivalence reaches a boiling point during Karasuno High’s practice match versus Date Tech, a defensive powerhouse. Kageyama adjusts to his spikers’ preferences but is angry that they are unable to score when they do things “their way.” Instead of communicating and attempting a strategic shift, Kageyama remains mute for fear of upsetting his troops. He eventually cracks and becomes unhappy and worried that by acting like a “King,” he has wrecked his connection with his teammates. His crew, on the other hand, is unaffected by his rants since they trust in him and can just dismiss them if they disagree. Coach Ukai enters and says that while Kageyama should accommodate his team, he should also speak out if he feels there are better options.
