But first, what is Wistoria: Wand and Sword about?

The Wistoria: Wand and Sword series follows the story of Will Serfort, a young boy who enrolls in Regarden Magical Academy with the dream of becoming a great magician. Unfortunately, his determination and hard work don’t yield results, as Will faces a significant challenge: he cannot use magic.

This acts as a severe disadvantage for him, as this is a world that lauds and worships magic. As an outcast among his peers, Will is the subject of ridicule from both classmates and teachers alike. Nevertheless, he refuses to give up pursuing his goal of becoming someone strong enough to protect those he cares about.

In Wistoria: Wand and Sword, Will wields a sword instead of a wand as he strives to prove his worth. Anime fans can expect a stellar animated tale of grit and valor, especially with the anime being directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara, who once worked on the Chainsaw Man anime as well.

Expected plot of Wistoria: Wand and Sword Episode 1

Wistoria: Wand and Sword Episode 1 will be titled Like The Swing Of A Sword, according to the anime’s official website. The first episode introduces our protagonist, Will Serfort, a sixth-year student at Regarden Magical Academy. He is known as a "scholar who excels only in written exams," as he is unable to cast even the most basic spells, making him a subject of scorn among his peers and faculty.

Driven by a promise made to his childhood friend Elpharia, Will aspires to achieve the prestigious title of ‘Magia Vander.’ However, this path is fraught with challenges. One day, while earning credits by defeating dungeon monsters, Will encounters a rather dangerous situation. His classmates, including his critic Sion, face an unexpectedly powerful enemy in an area usually reserved for weaker creatures. This is the encounter that changes Will’s life forever.
