How The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Does a Better Job of Showing the Evolution of the Monster Protagonist, Explained

Rentt is amazing in his evolution!

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer (Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha) spoilers ahead!

Summary:

  • The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is appealing mainly because of its characters.
  • A special detail is that The Unwanted Undead Adventurer shows physical nuances very well.
  • Evolution doesn't happen instantly — in order to advance to a new stage, the protagonist must meet certain conditions.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is a winter season novelty that is not as popular as Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) or Solo Leveling (Ore dake Level Up na Ken), but it has many attractive elements. The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is appealing mainly because of its heroes, especially the main character.

Rentt is interesting not only because of his story, but also due to his personality. However, the most interesting thing about this anime is the image of the main character and the evolution he goes through.

Earlier, the perspective of the undead was not so popular and we met ordinary heroes more often, but now you can easily find a monster protagonist, especially in isekai. Very often, however, these titles are almost indistinguishable from those where the protagonist has a familiar appearance to us.

For example, the popular anime Overlord, in which the main character appears as a skeleton like Rentt, focuses more on the strength of the hero and the members of his guild than on the difficulties of the undead.

Another example is Skeleton Knight in Another World (Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu). Arc is not considered undead at all — he can even eat and drink.

Well-delivered perspective

Listing the strengths of The Unwanted Undead Adventurer, many admit that they missed a well-written story that accurately portrayed the monster's perspective with all the subtleties that go along with it.

Rentt is the character many have been waiting for. Instead of a broad view of the world, the creators decided to focus only on the main character and his immediate environment. The first episodes of The Unwanted Undead Adventurer take place in a dungeon — Rentt gets used to his new body and tries to train.

A special detail is that The Unwanted Undead Adventurer shows physical nuances very well — the undead body is different from the human body. For example, as a skeleton, Rentt doesn't feel hungry at all, but as soon as he becomes a ghoul, he starts to crave flesh, so he attacks his girlfriend.

Evolution doesn't happen instantly — in order to advance to a new stage, the protagonist must meet certain conditions that he can only guess at. The Unwanted Undead Adventurer isn't as good in terms of animation and visuals, but it shows the monster's story believably enough.
