Eren, is that you?
Summary:
- Yuki Kaji joins the cast of Undead Unluck as Rip Tristan.
- Fans are excited to see this actor among the cast.
- Rip is going to become a fan favorite, as manga readers promise.
On November 1, 2023, it was revealed that some new voice actors are joining the Undead Unluck anime adaptation cast: Toshiyuki Morikawa as Feng, Ikumi Hasegawa as Latla, Hiroki Yasumoto as Creed, Ayume Murase as Chikara. But it feels like the fifth name has got the fans the most hyped, which is Yuki Kaji as Rip.
Yuki Kaji is great, duh
Yuki Kaji is one of the most famous Japanese anime and video game voice actors, and the excitement is completely understandable. The star of Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) and My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) has a huge list of roles he’s played during his career, and might be considered to be a titan (AOT pun, everyone) in the industry.
The voice actor choice is highly approved by the fans
Fans have already proclaimed the choice of Rip’s voice actor as an absolute win, and they can’t wait to finally see (and, of course, hear!) the character. Moreover, manga readers promise that Rip is going to become a fan favorite, and emphasize that it especially goes for the female audience. We’ll see, manga readers, we’ll see.
Twitter users seem super hyped to see what Yuki Kaji will do with Rip, saying that the voice actor choice will guarantee the success of the character, who is one of the sexiest in the series. “He’d make a perfect fit for Rip”, “he’s going to kill it” and “hell yes” are just some of the quotes from Undead Unluck fans.
Who is Rip?
Rip Tristan is another negator in the Undead Unluck series and the leader of Under, the organization that the main protagonists, Fuuko and Andy have to deal with. Let’s not give away any spoilers, but just say that this character is a wonderful mixture of a little kindness, wits and darkness, which makes him a very complex and engaging character. Combined with Yuki Kaji’s voice, he might truly become the target of fans’ affection, as the manga readers promise. A number of fans describe him as having a complete lack of morals, but being truly hot, which is always a nice thing for a character, we must confess.
Undead Unluck has already proven its worth, and has become one of the best anime in Japan this season. We’ve only got 4 episodes of the series for now, but more are coming, and the ratings and reviews look quite positive so far. Fans truly hope that the anime will get even bigger, so that there will be a chance for season 2.
