 This article is about an Undead in Kamen Rider Blade.
|
The Human Undead (ヒューマンアンデッド, Hyūman Andeddo) is the winner of the previous Battle Fight and ancestor of the entire human race. Desiring to protect all life on Earth, he was willingly sealed by the Joker Undead into the Spirit Human card, where it would be used by his sealer to access his likeness and become Hajime Aikawa.
History[]
10,000 years ago, the Human Undead was one of the participants of the Battle Fight and emerged victorious. Making an unknown wish, Earth became populated by humans and all other lifeforms.
In modern times, the Human Undead encountered the newly unsealed Joker Undead in a remote location, the latter preparing for battle. In response, the Human Undead willingly sealed himself into a Rouse Card, with the Joker Undead using it to assume the identity of Hajime Aikawa.
Somehow retaining consciousness, the Human Undead gradually influenced Hajime Aikawa with time, curbing his bloodthirst and feral instincts.
Upon the Kerberos Undead's theft of Hajime's Rouse Cards, the latter found himself reverting back into the Joker Undead, no longer having the Human Undead's direct influence over him. Unwilling to harm the innocent, Hajime placed himself into a deep trance, becoming comatose.
Learning of his friend's troubled situation, Kazuma defeated the Kerberos Undead in a fierce battle, retrieving Hajime's Rouse Cards. Sliding the Human Undead Rouse Card into Hajime's Rouser, Kazuma, Shiori, and Kotaro expected for Hajime to awaken from his slumber, only to learn that a different being had taken over his body.
To their surprise, it was the Human Undead, using telepathy to speak with them. Learning of the situation and the Battle Fight's true nature from him, Kazuma asked the Human Undead what he wished for as the previous victor. In response, the Human Undead asked Kazuma what he would wish for if he were given the same opportunity, before relinquishing control over Hajime's body.
Personality[]
Though little has been revealed about the Human Undead's personality, it is shown that he is a benevolent figure in general, a trait not shared with most other Undeads. Having compassion for all life, the Human Undead willingly forfeited from the new Battle Fight, so as to save every mortal creature from extinction.
When conversing with Kenzaki and his friends, the Human Undead spoke in a calm and polite tone, revealing to his descendants of the Battle Fight's true nature.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Undead Physiology: Like all Undeads, the Human Undead is an immortal being, not susceptible to sickness, injury, or aging.
- Telepathy: He has shown himself capable of human speech, conversing with others through telepathy.
- Personality Enhancement: Like all Undeads, if given the opportunity, the Human Undead can influence his host's personality, curving the Joker Undead's bloodlust.
- Genius Intellect: The Human Undead is shown to be highly intelligent and capable of conversing with his descendants in modern times.
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- The Human Undead is portrayed by Ryoji Morimoto.
Notes[]
- He is the only Undead to perfectly resemble a member of his modern day species counterparts, all others being humanoid monsters.
- It is never revealed in the show what the Human Undead's wish was upon winning the Battle Fight, with the only clue being implied from his conversation with Kenzaki.
- However, according to Super Complete Works, it was stated that the Human Undead wished for a world where all kinds of animals and plants could live happily.[1]
- It is currently unknown what would happen if the BOARD Riders were to use the sealed Human Undead's powers, since the Spirit Human card's only use on-screen was changing the Joker Undead into Hajime Aikawa.
- Considering the Human Undead's benevolent nature and low strength, it is questionable how he was able to win the previous Battle Fight; his methods go unaddressed throughout the series.
- Whereas all other Rouse Cards name both the ability and species' of an Undead, the Human Undead Rouse Card is named solely by ability.
- Being the victor of the previous Battle Fight, it is unknown whether the Human Undead was ever sealed prior to the events of the series, possibly having lived among his descendants throughout the ages.
