Summary
Warning : Spoilers for Re : giant instalment 1The debut episode of the unexampled Isekai seriesRe : MonsteronCrunchyrolllikely appeal to many viewers for a mess of reason , but it specifically brings together two major formulas from other Crunchyroll series that made each of these successful : The Unwanted Undead AdventurerandBerserk of Gluttony .
Although not actually an isekai , The Unwanted Undead Adventurerincorporated aunique instance of monstrosity evolutionfor its once - human protagonist Rentt , who sought way to evolve so he could appear more human after reincarnating as a skeleton . Ironically , each evolution ended up bringing Rentt nearer to looking like his original self , even though he did n’t actually become more human .
Meanwhile , Berserk of Gluttonyintroduced the power ofbeing able to " devour " the abilities of those bump off by the userto its champion , who was never enthral to another world or even renew into someone else .
Re:Monster’s Protagonist Can Fully Embrace His New Identity As a Monster
Based on the light novel by writer Kogitsune Kanekiru and illustrator Yamaada
InRe : Monster , the protagonist Tomokui Kanata dies and is reincarnate in another world as a humble goblin named Gobrou . However , he preserve his primary accomplishment from his previous life : to absorb the traits and powers of whatever he eats . to boot , Gobrou can also evolve into higher life forms once he reaches a certain storey of strength . Both these elements are present respectively inBerseker of GluttonyandThe Unwanted Undead Adventurer . The difference is thatRe : Monsterrepurposed each of these figure of speech for use in an actual isekai . Gobrou might be the reincarnation of a human , but he now hold out as a goblin in a very dissimilar human race , since he originally hail from a futurist one , and this new mankind clearly takes place in a stereotypical fantasy scene .
Goblins ca n’t course perform such a exploit , thus cook Gobrou an overpowered supporter by equivalence , just like his counterparts from the literary genre .
Gobrou ’s goals are very unlike from Rentt ’s inThe Unwanted Undead Adventurefor that reason . Gobrou does n’t want to look how he once did , since he does n’t have access to any semblance of his erstwhile life . In that way , Re : Monsteris a distinctive isekai , whileThe Unwanted Undead Adventure ’s rejection of the tropewhere the hero sandwich gets transported into another world allow it to introduce the unequaled dilemma where Rentt desire to continue working in his former professing even though it did n’t allow monsters like him to do so .
Re:MonsterExplores Just How Close Humans Are to Monsters
Oddly enough , Re : Monsteris very much likeThe Unwanted Undead Adventurerin howit deconstruct the human relationship between man and monster . Similar to how Rentt is finally regarded as being the most human he has ever been after transforming into what is essentially the antithesis of humanity , Kanata finds use , Friend , and family after being transmigrate as the most sterotypical fantasy monster , a goblin .
RegardingRe : Monster ’s second gain ground formula , howRe : Monsterincorporates theisekai - esque ability fromBerserk of Gluttonyis really what sets it apart from most isekai . ordinarily , the force that the isekai admirer possesses in the gum anime come from the new earth that they have been transport to . Of course , there are exceptions to this rule , likeMy Instant Death power Is So Overpoweredon HIDIVE , and nowRe : Monstercan join the ranks of those unlawful series .
However , the fact that Gobrou can steal the powers of those he eats because he possessed a similar power in his premature life in reality allows the serial to abide by with another stereotype . As name earlier , goblins ca n’t naturally perform such a feat , thus making Gobrou an overtake protagonist by comparison , just like his counterparts from the genre .
So whileRe : Monsteris a passably aboveboard isekai , it will likely gain a in high spirits turn of fan just because of how it takes monster transformations and the gula power from the two heavy - hitters onCrunchyrollThe Unwanted Undead AdventurerandBerserk of Gluttony .
