Alright, so the other day I got this random itch, you know? I was thinking about anime characters, and Elias Ainsworth from “The Ancient Magus’ Bride” popped into my head. And the first thing that I got curious about was his height. He always looks so imposing, right?
My Little Investigation Begins
So, what’s the first thing anyone does these days? I grabbed my phone, opened up a search engine, and typed in “elias ainsworth height”. Simple enough, I thought. I figured I’d get a quick answer, maybe a fan wiki page or something official.
Well, that sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. I clicked on a few links, mostly fan-made sites and forums. Lots of people guessing, you see. Some folks were throwing out numbers, others were trying to compare him to Chise. But nothing felt, like, super definitive. You know how it is with these things, sometimes the info is out there, sometimes it’s just pure fan speculation.
Digging a Little Deeper
I wasn’t quite satisfied. I thought, “Okay, maybe there’s an official art book or some creator interview I missed.” So, I tried refining my search. I added terms like “official”, “character design”, “Kore Yamazaki interview” (she’s the creator, for those who don’t know). I spent a good chunk of time scrolling through articles and summaries, hoping for that one little tidbit.
It’s funny how you can get sucked into these little quests. I even considered trying to do some weird perspective math with screenshots from the anime. I quickly gave up on that idea, though. Too much effort, and I’m pretty sure my calculations would have been way off anyway. Plus, his skull head makes it a bit tricky, doesn’t it?
- Searched general wikis
- Checked fan forums for discussions
- Tried to find official artbook details
- Looked for creator comments
What I Ended Up With
So, after all that poking around, did I find a precise, officially stated height for Elias Ainsworth? Honestly, not really. It seems to be one of those details that isn’t widely publicized, or maybe it’s just intentionally kept a bit vague. Creators do that sometimes.
What I did find was a lot of agreement that he’s very tall. Significantly taller than Chise, and generally towers over most human characters. That much is obvious just from watching the show or reading the manga. People have made some pretty good estimates based on visual comparisons, often placing him well over 6 feet, maybe even closer to 7 feet when you include his horns, but those are still just educated guesses.
So, my little research mission didn’t yield a concrete number. But hey, sometimes the journey of looking for the answer is part of the fun, right? It just confirms he’s meant to be this towering, otherworldly figure. And that’s cool enough for me. Maybe one day an official guide will spell it out, but until then, “very tall” will have to do!
