Napoleon is one of the most prominent figures in the history of the world. The French emperor’s glory days might be short-lived but made an impact significant enough for everyone to remember him to this day.
His influence remained even after he was gone and gave rise to various media based around him or inspired by him. The latest addition to this list is Lady Napoleon anime, based on a fictitious descendant of his.
Netflix and Shin Kibayashi are teaming up to work on the original fantasy-adventure anime Lady Napoleon.

The anime will be 13-episodes long and will have a worldwide premiere on Netflix. The illustration revealed features the protagonist Sophie, her butler named ”Butler” and a martial artist named Guy.
Sophie is a descendant of Napoleon Bonaparte and is just as ambitious as he was. She leads an organization known as Lady Napoleon that is motivated by and runs for world domination.
The great emperor once hid his three sacred possessions, and Sophie is bent on finding them all as it would lead her to rule over the world. She intends to follow Napoleon’s steps and accomplish all that he couldn’t.
Considering what a disputed personality Napoleon is, I am curious to know what Sophie’s character is like. She is ambitious and a bit unhinged for sure, but is she a regular Kawai character or something we have never seen before?
What do you think?
The theme might seem a bit off, considering the inspiration itself is a controversial political figure in the world’s history. Also, anime brings unimaginable plots to life, so this concept is not that surprising.
But at the same time, I am super excited to watch this because no matter what, anime rarely ever gives inaccurate facts about real life. I hope Netflix doesn’t mess this up.
