Characters [ edit ]

  • Gulliver Toscanni
Protagonist of the series, a magician who must remain enclosed in the Yoke magic school to protect his friend Edison. When he returns to his country, Venice, he finds out that it is being attacked by Spain.
  • Edison
Young scientific genius, Gulliver's friend.
  • Misty
A girl, the friend of Gulliver, who saved him from the troops of Spain.
  • Phoebe
A Dark fairy who takes a liking to Gulliver, and vows never to leave his side.
  • King Yudo
King of Spain, deeply in love with Misty. He killed Gulliver's father, but when he was informed that there was a son, promised himself that he would kill the son, so they could be in paradise together. It is later revealed in the second half of the series that he is controlled by Hallelujah, the sums of evil.
  • King of Venice
His kingdom is attacked by the army of Spain. He does not understand why Yudo is doing this, since there was previously peace between the two countries.
  • Papa Toscanni
Raises Gulliver as his son. Yudo kills him, but before he dies he manages to confess to Gulliver that he is not his true father.
  • Hallelujah
The true main antagonist of the first part of the series (before being replaced by Daisaemon for the second part of the series). Hallelujah is a demon and the origin of all evil in the world; a world that she intends to devour. She brainwashes the faux main antagonist Yudo who uses Spain in an attempt to take over Europe.
  • Daisaemon
Daimyo of Japan, the main antagonist of the second and final part of the series. Unlike Hallelujah the main antagonist of the first part of the series who is a serious and threatening antagonist, Daisaemon is more of a goofy and comedic antagonist.
