anime by introducing an alternative to how healing magic is presented. Healing magic is common in anime, as it has been shown to play a role in helping magic s their allies by healing their injuries so that they can continue fighting. In this anime, it is slightly different, since healing magic s can use their magic for offense.

The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic challenges the perception of what healing magic is, and through creative utilization of the power, many can see this magic being used through a different lens.

The show incorporates different ways this power can be utilized, such as using the power to heal wounds through training so that the can continue training beyond the regular human limitations. This is shown when the series' main protagonist, Ken Usato, can regenerate his muscles after repeatedly healing his body during training and eventually obtains superhuman physical abilities.

The Rarity of Healing Magic in this Series

Healing Magic Is Rare Because Of How Few Healers There Are

When Usato first received his magic affinity, the royal family feared for his safety because they knew Rose kidnapped any healing magic candidates and put them through rigorous training. She is the leader of the Llinger Kingdom Rescue Squad and was the former captain of the Order of the Knights. She forced Usato to the Rescue Squad and put him through intense training to make him her right-hand man. Rose is a fearsome fighter in the series, possessing superhuman speed and strength due to her battle experience and consistent muscle regeneration.

Healing magic is considered the weakest of the other magic types due to its rarity in the world, but Rose's harnessing of that power makes it seem more powerful than many people realize. Kurokata, the creator of The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, established a world where healing magic is scarce. By creating this environment, healing magic becomes the primary focus of the show's narrative. This forces viewers to become attached to the power and see what healers can be capable of by reversing the popular anime trope.

Usato Becomes a Juggernaut With His Magic

He Can Cancel Out Darkness Magic While Simultaneously Healing His Allies

Through the intense training Rose gave him, Usato consistently healed and cured his wounds, allowing him to continue doing countless exercises that pushed past the limits of the human body. Due to this, he became the ideal juggernaut, since he could run onto any battlefield without harm, heal any wound and plow through anything that would try to stop him.

This was evident when the Llinger Kingdom fought against the demons in episode #10. Usato's friends, Inukami and Kazuki, fought against The Black Knight, and their attacks were reflected onto them, causing them grave injuries. He charged in with a punch coated in his healing magic that damaged the armor of The Black Knight. He then brought his friends to safety and healed their injuries as he continued his fight.

His magic could cancel out the reflection magic, which proved to have zero effect on him throughout the battle as he knocked out The Black Knight with his fist. His physical abilities matched his ability to heal his ally's injuries as though they had taken no damage, solidifying him as the perfect warrior. He had become the healer that Rose wanted him to be, but he hadn't reached his ceiling yet. There is still room for him to grow his power and solidify how strong healing magic can be; he showed viewers the worst way to use healing magic.
