The Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead live-action movie is missing one of the manga’s most important characters, who might have been saved for a sequel
WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead live-action movie.
Summary
- The live-action Zom 100 movie deviates from the manga in some ways but ends just before a major character is introduced, setting up a potential sequel.
- Beatrix Amerhauser does not appear in Netflix's Zom 100 movie, but her absence sets up the possibility of exploring her story in a sequel.
- If Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead gets a sequel, Beatrix Amerhauser will likely be in the film.
Netflix’s Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead live-action movie is missing one of the story’s most important characters, which is actually good news in terms of a potential Zom 100 sequel. The popular Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead manga by writer Haro Aso and illustrator Kotaro Takata recently received an anime adaptation, which is currently covering the beginning of Akira’s journey amidst the zombie apocalypse. A live-action movie adaptation has now premiered on Netflix, with the Zom 100 movie condensing the first few chapters of the manga into a two-hour adventure.
There are several differences between the live-action Zom 100 movie and the manga. This includes the pacing of the story, although the movie was faithful to the manga’s chronology in a lot of ways. For example, the Zom 100 movie ends just before a major new character joins the story, which is the perfect way to set up a Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead sequel.
Beatrix Amerhauser Is Not In Netflix's Live-Action Zom 100
Beatrix Amerhauser, the last major character to join Akira on his journey to complete a bucket list of 100 things to do before dying in the zombie apocalypse, is not in Netflix’s live-action Zom 100 movie. The Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead movie covered the manga’s first 11 chapters, although some arcs were changed or merged into one. For example, Akira, Shizuka, and Kencho are taken to the aquarium after being captured by Kosugi. Regardless, the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead movie’s ending sees the trio exposing Kosugi and returning to their journey, which is exactly like Zom 100 Chapter #11 ends.
Zom 100’s Beatrix is introduced in Chapter #12 of the manga, meaning that the live-action Bucket List of the Dead movie ends right before the character is supposed to join the story. Given that the Zom 100 manga is still being published, the live-action adaptation was expected to cover only a portion of the story. As such, it seemed likely that Beatrix would not be in the movie. The Zom 100 live-action film could have perhaps teased Beatrix with a cameo or a post-credits scene, but it preferred to focus on Akira, Shizuka, and Kencho as they vowed to follow their dreams together.
Beatrix Amerhauser's Absence From Netflix's Zom 100 Sets Up A Sequel
It would be impossible for the Zom 100 live-action movie to cover all of the released Zom 100 manga chapters in two hours. Fortunately, the film focused on the initial portion of the story and only adapted a few arcs. While the Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead film has a self-contained ending, it leaves the door open for Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead 2 to continue exploring Akira’s journey. In fact, Beatrix Amerhauser’s absence from the Zom 100 live-action movie is a great way to set up a sequel.
Those who are familiar with Zom 100 and enjoyed the live-action adaptation likely want to see Beatrix’s story in a sequel, thus increasing the anticipation for a potential Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead 2. The addition of Beatrix into the story would also allow Zom 100 2 to be quite different from the first film. The Zom 100 manga takes a turn after Akira and his friends meet Beatrix, not to mention how her fighting skills can make for some cool action scenes. If Zom 100:Bucket List of the Dead gets a sequel, a live-action Beatrix Amerhauser will surely be in the film.
