50 free The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Kusuo Saiki can do almost anything, and all he wants is to be left alone. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. turns that wish into one of anime's quickest comedies: a deadpan teenager with godlike abilities, surrounded by schoolmates who will not stop dragging him into their problems. This quiz covers the whole series. There are questions on what Kusuo's powers can do and the odd rules that limit them, on the friends, relatives and rivals who fill his days, and on the running jokes fans love. Others go behind the scenes to the manga, the studio, the Japanese and English voice casts, the theme songs and the live-action film. It opens with easy questions for anyone who has watched a season and ends with deep cuts for viewers who have seen every episode twice. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so even a wrong guess teaches you something about the show.

Q 02Which of Kusuo Saiki's powers do his green glasses hold back whenever he looks at another person?
Turning people to stone

Q 03Which classmate's mind is the only one Kusuo Saiki cannot read, simply because he is so dim?

Q 05Which grand alias does Kusuo Saiki's classmate Shun Kaido use in his imagined secret war on evil?

Q 10Why does Kusuo Saiki wear a ring that blocks his mind-reading when he goes to the cinema?
