"Monster Incidents" will be broadcast as a new anime from January 2021. Among the many popular characters that appear, the enigmatic protagonist, Natsuha, is extremely popular, and even though the series has just started, it has already gained a large number of fans. I think that the lack of detailed information is what creates a mysterious atmosphere and makes it so popular, but this time I would like to summarize information about the mysterious and charming protagonist, Natsuha, and reveal the character of Natsuha. I think that the changes in the protagonist Natsuha's feelings will make the story's progression easier to understand, so please give it a watch.
Half human and half Shiki (Kula)
First, let me introduce some basic information about Kula. The most important setting to know about Kula is that he is half human and half monster called Kula. This setting leaves us with the question, "Is he really human?" In fact, Kula himself is often treated as a monster in the story, so it seems appropriate to treat a half human and half monster as a monster.
Foreign monsters
So what kind of monster is Kula? Kula is originally a foreign monster, and it seems to be a type of monster that is not very familiar to Japanese monsters.
No emotions!?
Having lived away from his parents since childhood and being shunned in the village where he lived, Natsuha seems to have grown up without human emotions. In the story, Natsuha, who grew up without emotions, acquires human emotions through interactions with his friends.
Gradually gaining emotions! ?
In this way, the story of the monster incident is also a drama in which the protagonist Natsuha himself acquires humanity, and Natsuha's growth seems to be an important theme that progresses at the same time as the mystery surrounding the "monster incident and the life stone" in the story is solved.
Is your lover Inugami?!
However, Natsuha herself is still far from understanding human emotions, and she has a catastrophic lack of understanding, especially when it comes to romantic feelings. In fact, she often answers with a straight face, "The person I like is Inugami," causing trouble for those around her.
He's surprisingly popular with women! ?
Thus, Natsuha may seem to have difficulty interacting with humans, but in the story he is particularly well-liked by women. Perhaps it is because he is unashamed and can speak his mind, that he is well-liked by many female characters.
He is popular for his cool appearance! !
Natsuha is popular among female characters in the story, but she is also a character who has a strong following among readers in the real world. Perhaps it is precisely because Natsuha doesn't say much and is touched by the way he acts according to his own heart that he has so many female fans.
High combat ability
Kabane is the main character in the story, and plays an active role in many battle scenes. Here, I would like to explain in more detail the high combat ability of the main character, Kabane. Kabane is one of the most skilled characters in the story, so you should definitely understand his abilities here.
Can't die! ?
The best thing about Kabane is that he never dies. In other words, there is no way to completely defeat Kabane, and Kabane is the ultimate embodiment of the "if you don't lose, you win" theory.
Fearless Strength
Also, being immortal allows him to overcome the disadvantage of being scared of "I might die during battle" and becoming slower. In other words, Natsuha is the physically strongest character in the work, but at the same time, he is also the mentally strongest character. It is surprising that he has such high specs despite being the main character. How will he make the enemy characters feel strong? That is what worries me more.
He won't stop unless he is locked in a place with no oxygen!
As explained above, Natsuha basically has no weaknesses. However, if there is one weakness, it is that Natsuha's blood is made of fire, so it cannot generate new bodies in a place without oxygen. Therefore, by cutting off only Natsuha's neck and confining him in an airtight place with no airflow, it is possible to deprive him of his freedom.
Combination with Ori! !
Thus, Natsuha has outstanding fighting power on her own, but on the other hand, she seems to be poor at fighting logically, and often falls into the traps of Fue, who is a strategist and good at devising strategies. At times like these, her reliable ally is Ori, who is also a strategist. Although Ori is far inferior to Natsuha in fighting power, he is good at calmly looking around his surroundings, so he is a good match for Natsuha, and they are a very active duo in the story.
What is his relationship with other characters?
Here, I would like to give a detailed summary of the types of relationships Natsuha builds with the characters throughout the story and how the story develops with these characters.
Inugami
He is the person who made Natsuha want to take action to find her parents. In the story, he is so trusted by Natsuha that she says, "My lover is Inugami," and he is one of the few reliable adults for Natsuha, who has no parents.
Weaving
Like Natsuha, he works at the Inugami office. Like Natsuha, he is searching for his parents, who were separated from him at birth. Although he originally said that he was "not interested" in them, he was moved by Natsuha's words and actions and began to wish to meet his parents himself.
Akira
Like Natsuha, he also works at the Inugami office. In the early part of the story, when Natsuha and Ori were often at odds, he played the role of mediating between the two, and was also the person who maintained the balance of the Inugami office well. When he reunites with his brother, he temporarily leaves, but with a push from his brother, he returns to work at the Inugami office.
Navy
He is a subordinate of Iyuu who was aiming for Natsuha's life stone. Early in the story, he is in conflict with Natsuha over the life stone, but as he interacts with Natsuha, he becomes troubled by the difference in their stances, and after a commotion, he decides to walk with Natsuha.
Nobimaru
He is the one who is aiming for Natsuha's life stone as the successor to Kon, who was fired after failing to take the life stone from Natsuha. For some reason, he is often friendly towards Natsuha, and Natsuha trusts him enough to make statements to the effect that he sees him as a friend. However, as the story progresses, Natsuha is often unable to turn a blind eye to Nobimaru's actions, and the relationship between the two gradually falls apart.
Iio
He is the one who is after Natsuha's Life Stone. There are not many scenes where he talks directly with Natsuha, but both of them need the Life Stone, so it can be said that their clash is inevitable.
Kabane and her parents
Kabane's goal throughout the series is "I want to see my parents!" For that reason, there are many scenes in the series where Kabane is thinking about her parents, and these are some of the few scenes where Kabane, who is not very emotional, expresses his feelings.
A journey to find his parents
As the protagonist Kemonozihen's goal is to find his parents, the Monster Incident is structured as a story about Kemonozihen's parents. If someone asks you, "What is the story of the Monster Incident?", you can't go wrong by saying, "It's a story about the protagonist Kemonozihen looking for his father and mother."
The only wish! ?
For the protagonist Kabane, who has no fear of death and cannot express his own feelings well, the desire to see his parents is the only thing he has. Therefore, from Kabane's point of view, this is an important desire that he cannot give up.
Kula, the Shiki of the Life Stone, and Kabane! ?
So where are Natsuha's parents? There is still not much information about Natsuha's parents in the story, but it seems that a clue is hidden in the Life Stone that Natsuha has. It has been said that the Life Stone may have once been based on the body of a Shiki (Kula), whose body never decays. In other words, there is a high possibility that there is some kind of connection between Natsuha, who possesses the Life Stone, and the Shiki (Kula) that is the source of this Life Stone.
The Life Stone will be explained in another article on Animemiru! !
So what is the Life Stone that is based on a person who may be related to Natsuha? The settings of the Life Stone and other stones revealed in the work are explained in detail in another article on Animemiru, so please take a look at that as well.
The Monster Incident and Natsuha's Parents
In the story, there was an incident called the Monster Incident, in which monsters and humans once fought, and it is explained that many special stones, including the Life Stone, were created to suppress the Monster Incident. In other words, since Natsuha's parents are related to the Life Stone, isn't it reasonable to think that Natsuha's parents also have some kind of connection to the Monster Incident?
Summary
What did you think? This time, we introduced Natsuha, the main character of the Monster Incident. Natsuha is quiet and doesn't assert himself much, but if you look closely at this work, you'll find that there is actually a lot of hidden information! Natsuha's birth and further details are likely to be heavily involved in the future story of the Monster Incidents. We can't take our eyes off Natsuha's behavior and psychological portrayal.
