Have you ever felt the stinging pain of betrayal, only to wish you could come back stronger than ever? If you’re a fan of high-stakes revenge stories and overpowered protagonists who crush their enemies with ease, then we have the perfect new obsession for you. Today, December 27, 2025, a brand-new SMARTOON titled “The Family Failure is the Former Strongest” (一族の落ちこぼれは元大陸最強者) has officially launched on Piccoma! It’s time to witness a fallen hero reclaim his glory and settle some old scores. ⚔️🔥
Why Overpowered Protagonists Are the Ultimate Stress Relievers
Let’s be honest—nothing beats the feeling of watching an arrogant bully get put in their place by someone they underestimated. The “Overpowered (OP) Protagonist” genre is a favorite for a reason: it offers the ultimate escapism. In this new series, we get exactly that. It’s not just about raw power; it’s about the sheer satisfaction of seeing a “failure” reveal their true, legendary strength to those who treated them like trash.
The Legend of Bakuto: A Fallen Hero Reborn in a Weak Body
The story follows Bakuto Yaemori (八重森 漠斗), a man once feared as the strongest warrior on the continent. After being betrayed and killed by his own comrades, he wakes up in a different world—but there’s a catch. He is now a frail college student, an outcast from a prestigious family, and a target for campus bullies. Imagine going from the apex of power to being at the bottom of the social food chain! It’s a nightmare scenario, but for Bakuto, it’s just the beginning of a legendary comeback.
From Outcast to King: Rebuilding Power with Ancient Techniques
“Even in a weak vessel, the soul does not break.” This is the core of Bakuto’s journey. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, he uses the instincts and secret techniques from his past life to retrain his new, weak body from scratch. Watching him navigate family power struggles and school hierarchies while slowly reclaiming his “Strongest” title is incredibly gripping. Every punch he throws feels like a step toward a much larger, darker revenge plot involving those who caused his original death. 👊✨
