Undead Unluck was suppose to stay a Mid-Tier anime and manga. But then, Undead Unluck magically transformed into an S-Tier story. Let me explain! Music From FTL
I love the fact that the Undead Unluck Reddit kept thinking it was getting cancled all through out the Ragnarok Arc XDDD It was hilarious to watch it unfold.
@@PlainTalkNoBSI heard of that news back then. It wasn't reddit that came up with it, but some Twitter account that's considered a reputable source on SJ manga. I think it also had something to do with colour pages.
@@randomduck8679It's because SJ has a ranking system by reader popularity named 掲載順, and if a manga stays in the last few or so for too long, it will get cancelled. And Undead Unluck did wander around the last pretty often but always managed to get back up right after with a twist or a fantastic battle.
While I agree the 101st loop was a great reboot to the series, the Anno Un arc is what I'd really point to as the start of Undead Unluck's shift to character focused stories. While it does also involve a battle with a major Uma, the emotional crux of the story is Anno Un and Fuuko's bond.
I didn't think this video would spoil anything beyond the first season of the anime so I scrolled down into the comments and this is the first comment I see 🤡🤡🤡
@@teleblue He deadass told u there was gunna be spoilers. And what kind of sped goes into the comments without any context of the video? This is all on you mate 😂
I love that the first people Fuuko recruits on her loop are Nico, Ichico, Gena, and Void. Four of the least developed and explored characters--one of whom was literally a fridged backstory wife!--welcomed into the narrative as important characters you're given time to know and love. Same with Sean--my man was literally unnamed and we only saw his face in the chapter he was killed for his cowardly assassination attempt! And now he's my cringefail son who I want to find happiness! I hope that the anime's production values will draw people in, because there's plenty fun to keep someone going until it hits the highest highs.
The first five characters Fuuko recruits are Nico, Ichico, Gena, Void and Sean. Excluding Ichico these were all the negators Andy and Fuuko killed in the previous loop
Honestly the meteor never left me hoping for something more epic I was just interested in what unluck would generate against someone. The randomness kept me hooked
Did the opposite for me tbh, I just started to see the formula right away and just felt like every fight was going the same way just replace whatever nonsense beats the villain with some other thing
@papskormsepic7670 Yeah but it's interesting to see how the characters use their abilities to win which I just never found in Undead Unluck, it's just he touches her and something happens so they win
The concepts are presented great, the worldbuilding is amazing, and the charatcer development, and the multiple callbacks to the beginning make this manga an extreme obvious masterpiece to anyone who gives it 10 chapters, and especially anyone who keeps going -_-. It doesn’t start bad, it starts questionable in 1 spot and grows past it, this video generalizes and makes it sound worse. Masterpiece
The difference between the the 100th loop and the 101st loop is the same as Juiz and Fuuko. The 100th feels more battle focused and overall cold. We don’t even know unavoidable full name throughout the entirety of it. Because in the pursuit of the death of God, Juiz lost anything that didn’t focus on that goal. Whereas with 101st everything is so Fuuko, being character driven this half pairs well with how much she cares about the individual people in her life. I don’t know if that was intentional by the author from the start buts it’s masterful at portraying both characters and freshens up the idea of doing it all over again because it’s from 2 different perspectives.
which is probably why Juiz despite going through 100 loops was never able to reach her goal of killing god, which is kind of ironic if you think about it.
Actually though, Fuuko can do so well without sacrifices in her loop is largely due to Unknown providing her with all the important information on all the major upcoming events and her using her immortality as a looper more effectively than Juiz.
@@cloutan2746 most artifacts impart visions of past loops. The G-liner pen gives it all yes, but Juiz has ample opportunity to have learned everything first hand or through these imparted visions. The G-liner pen gives a MUCH clearer picture though, so much so that the comparison to the usual visions is laughable. HOWEVER, it only shows the past and future of the current loop, and we know she hasn’t used it in the 101st loop. So i think the knowledge between 100th loop Juiz and 101st Fuuko the same.
@@damonlam9145 I think Fuko has the advantage of it being her first time looping along with the knowledge of artifacts and previous loops. So, she will experiment and try out different possibilities. But when you loop multiple times like Juiz did and still fail, it will weigh down on you. Juiz probably was like Fuko is right now. But her vision of Justice changed from 0 to 100. Even Victor knew that she cannot keep going and wanted to kill her.
I found this manga from a RUclips short, and fell in love with it, especially when the 101th loop began and Fuko is out here recruiting all the negators by herself. I really wish this series got more love, but I can definitely understand when it tends to stay in the shadows.
I spent all night catching till the last chapter I didn't even realize it was already morning when I was reading it. I've never read an amazing manga like this one. The build up to chapter 125 was amazing the current loop also makes every interaction with the characters heartwarming. I've always thought of "If only I go back in the past, I could change my life." But after reading this manga. I don't think I have to. I've already had more than enough time to make everything right again. Fukoo is such an amazing character, I seen her at her weakest to now her most strongest. I can't recommend this manga enough. Please go read it.
the magic of this series is that none of the fights in the series felt boring because somehow they always find new ways to surprise me; like there's always new kind of unlucky events that Fuuko can trigger, and Andy always got new moves. Special moves in shonen series often becomes repetitive and stagnated after used many times and often relied on new forms or levels to become stronger, while in Undead Unluck the negators becomes stronger by creativity and personal resolve
god , fuuko being a able to do a " bad road " and spread out her unluck across multiple small occurrences instead of one having one single large stroke of unluck happen was such a fucking cool evolution. And it was a callback to Spring where she had done a miniature version through her repeatedly touching Spring which led to multiple strikes of stunning , but non lethal, lightning strikes
I was recommended this manga by an online friend in the MHA fandom when the most recent chapter was chapter 16. And damn am I happy he did. I was a bit put off by the Billy stuff around Chapter 38. But learning what we learn later, on a re-read, that stuff isn’t bad at all. It’s just better with hindsight. And dammit. The Anno Un Arc is what got me to fully embrace the series and never look back. I really hope people will give this a chance because whilst the fanbase is small, every single person I know who has every read this manga absolutely fucking loves it. I had to berate some of my friends from school to read it. By the time they were caught up they were thanking me for it.
@@c.d.mont.3281 I don’t think I said “questionable” in my comment. But no, because most of that stuff is gone after the first few chapters. More so there is stuff surrounding a character called Billy that doesn’t make a great deal of sense when you first read it but does later on.
The Unknown arc is where I fell in love with the series. The bittersweet sacrifice of Akira just made it one of my favorite arcs. Spring arc ensured that I just kept reading it. can't wait for it to be animated.
I agree that the series decisions to make Fuuko the sole protagonist and developing more the other negators were good choices, but I don't think that the series becomes great only at the end of Ragnarok Arc as you say. Undead Unluck first saga is more than a story that lives up trying to show off amazing events like the meteor coming off. It always has been a character driven story. The story shows its full character potential and emotion in the Unchange Arc and then it gets really good again in the Spring, Summer, Spring and Ragnarok arcs. Events like Gina's words about wanting to change, Akira's whole backstory, Billy's betrayal motives, Shen and Feng's shared past and tragedies, Rip's emotional force and Nico's grief about his wife are great moments of the first saga that are picked up again in the current saga and developed so amazingly thanks to those ideas being introduced before in the first place. For example, Billy's wariness of the third dog in the war saga show that he was still going to become the same man who would have rathered betray everyone to protect them than trust in their capabilities but thanks to Fuuko's confrontation this mindset changes to a one where he gets so jealous of the others' capabilities so much that it makes him want to be like them. So yeah, UU is a hidden gem. It's first chapters are indeed a little worrisome because of Andy's attitude but then this gets corrected and becomes a lovable story about Undead and Unluck. Hope you are not correct about UU not getting popular because it seems that Shueisha is aiming for it to become a big hit big enough like JJK or MHA. Also, if the series gets a good reception then it means other rather ignored series like Yozakura Family, Sakamoto Days and Akane Banashi will have high hopes put on them and great anime adaptations too.
I am from the future. The manga got a significant boost but unfortunately the competition right now is way too big. It’s doing just fine. I think it’s enough for it to get a second season but definitely not enough to call it a hit. I would say it’s Fire Force levels of popular or something like that.
This has been my favorite manga for ages now. S Tier world building, massively creative power system, and lovable cast. I was entranced with this series since the first chapter and have kept strong since. I've been anxious to see the community grow once the anime releases, and I waited every day for an anime announcement for Undead Unluck, and when it was announced, MAN. I wouldn't stop pestering my friends about it. I'm so happy to see this series getting more attention and coverage. The video was GREAT, amazing job!
It may only get a few seconds of screen time. But I hope DP goes hard on Uma Galaxy. It's a living galaxy in a humanoid form and it's absolutely beautiful as it is terrifying. It's the single largest and most powerful Uma in the series and yet it's completely harmless and so massive that it can't be seen. I bet it you zoomed out of the UU universe you'd see it just chilling in the Void.
@@PlainTalkNoBS even crazier when you realize that taking out Uma Ghost can basically wipe out the Bleach Verse. Doesn't matter if you scale higher than it most soul reapers that are third seat and above can kill it. Problem is that killing it means you wipe everyone else out. Bc any thing that is in spirit form or is an exposed soul automatically falls under Uma Ghost jurisdiction for erasure
What really strong point of Undead Unluck is chara development.Literally every fcking chara in the manga especially in Union and Under get chara development.What a great journey,the manga started to really shine for me personally from the "4 Season" arc and still going strong until the recent chapter.Hope the anime going strong,get a good amount of attention worldwide so we can get season 2 even season after that.I really hope someday we get to see "4 Season" and "Ragnarok" arc animated.That's a really AVENGER level battle for manga
@@PlainTalkNoBS I maybe seems like Undead Unluck bootlicker but hell honestly it is just so good,their story writting in the "4 season" arc onward is really shining example how you write setup and payoff.Especially in 101st loop arc,they are really paying of what story so far about important member of Negator from Union and Under trauma/guilt,about how their Negator power manifesting bringing tragedy to them and people around them ONLY from their flashback or dialogue.And the writter cleverly use that to craft amazing "go back in time" story about Fuuko equipped the information from artifact trying to still let the Negator power manifesting but also trying to prevent the tragedy from happened.
Couldn't agree more about the beginning. I stuck with it after not really rocking with the start besides Shen, Fuuko and the power systems. Then with the Gina Arc (idk the official name), I was hooked.
I remember reading this manga when it came out up to when the unchange girl was introduced but stopped reading because of personal stuff. I was also planning on getting back to the manga after the anime too and man this analysis is really interesting
i picked up the series in November of 2020 after watching a video which ranked the various manga which were running in jump at the time and very quickly became interested in it. Shen particularly, being such an fun character of course. It wasn't till I had reached the shift in the plot when Galaxy was added that i really got hooked into being a hardcore supporter, i really hope that the upcoming anime gets more people interested, cus while i have gotten a handful of friends to pick it up, who all agree that the series is great. its criminally undervalued when compared to the series which have stronger ground ahead of it (i.e My Hero, JJK, etc.) The biggest hurdle of the series is how Andy treats Fuuko at the beginning and once we get past that its constantly makings leaps and strides to improve everything. Fuuko as solo protagonist has been honestly the most fun to follow and is an S tier female lead, which Jump needs more of.
Loved your video! You phrased everything so well! I love how this story grows and evolves, and makes you rethink earlier elements it introduced. I loved Void's re-introduction in the manga, and hearing you talk about it in this video made me love it even more. Thanks so much for this discussion, you made a lot of amazing points 💜 So hyped for the anime!!!
@@PlainTalkNoBS The only thing about this video I don't like is your little jab to JJK air deals was awesome dude and I'm totally going to finish checking out this Manga I was actually renamed but I stopped for a little bit. This video however has got me back interested
The Spring Uma Arc was so emotional and moving we get to see an Uma who actually likes Humans and how God will force it’s will on those that don’t do what it wants
I've told so many people about how underrated this one is. It's not like so incredible that you should drop everything and read immediately, but it's such a fun and creative story and has oe of the most intersting application of abiliteies that I've ever seen in how creatively they use those powers and the larger purpose they serve. I really hope the anime does well so more people give it a chance, but considering is David Production who also do all the JoJo adaptations, it honestly seems like a perfect fit
You couldn't have described the first half of the manga better. The only reason I stuck on till past the 100th loop is because I wanted to see different applications of negator powers like you pointed out in the video. Subbed
Great video! Thoroughly explained the highlights and drawbacks of this series (even as it’s in progress) and you really got me hyped for the anime! I read a single chapter in a bookstore one time and thought, “This would be a fire anime one day”, now look where we are😁
Episode 5 almost had me in tears at Gena's fate, the ending with him giving her what she's desired for so long after capture Andy was heart felt, i'm already in love with the series and i really hope more raunchy action comes my way ... Thoroughly looking forward to more episodes and hopefully a season two.
I wouldn't ever call Udul mid maybe at the very very beginning but with each chapter and arc it grows and builds upon itself one of if not my favourite SJ reads of the last 3 or 4 years from the characters, world building, power system and call backs among other stuff this series is wicked awesome so great video and hope more people talk about Undead Unluck greatness
I needed this video. I unintentionally stopped around chapter 86 bc I was swamped and it was hard getting back into it. I definitely need to catch up now!
As someone who read all (178 as of this comment) chapters in about a week. It's been a banger the whole time, but the reset after witnessing game over has been peak.
@@pp2475to be fair. Gintama is one of the best manga ever and it had a kinda slow first couple chapters. Also I'd much rather read undead unluck over berserk or vagabond since neither of those are gonna end.
this video deserves to go viral, so the series go viral, so the author goes viral, the anime adaptation goes viral and the overall virus of low attention spams dissapear, and more stories and projects get proper time to be developed and even if they flop, good things will be catch on the process, so the next idea goes harder and better!
Haven't read it since chapter 74 dropped for some reason and I recently went back, restarted back at chapter 9, and caught up in 2 days. Something I noticed was that I was way more excited and pumped for the 101st loop stuff than pre-ch125 stuff (aside from the Autumn and Summer arcs which made me cry when I first read them).
0:40 I won't take this JJK slander to my face. The current story of JJK is easily equaling (if not surpassing) that of the Shibuya Incident. The biggest fight in the series is currently happening ffs
Here's the harsh truth. The Death Game Arc was a convoluted mess where the author kept adding too many quirks to both the game itself and to many abilities. To argue JJK hasn't declined would require you selecting a previous arc that you think is lower quality than the Death Game. As for where it currently is at, the series is cashing in on fight that was teased from chapter 2. To give a comparable example, think Naruto's Great Ninja War Arc and the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke. The arc was bad but was somewhat forgotten because the fight that was built up for so long that it helped readers forget about the Ninja War arc.
@@PlainTalkNoBS I don't think increasing the complexity of abilities as a series goes on is a bad thing. As for the culling game itself its not too complicated. There are barriers around Japan if you choose to stay your in the game. You couldn't leave the barrier and you get points for killing another person. JJK fights have been consistently good. Hikari vs Kashimo was hype as hell and had no build up.
@@tgclericoll572 the panel where hakari juste hit his jackpot and start hyping himself up and kashimo responds in kind was one of the greatest panel I ever laid my eyes on
Which is exactly why I skipped that part. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I can assume that his criticism was really constructive, you were warned about a controversial opinion coming.
My friend recommended this to me back in late 2020 by just showing me the first page and saying that it starts there and never stops, and that was enough to convince me. It held true too, with the series rarely pumping the brakes. Now well into the 101st loop and I'm still loving every chapter, excitedly waiting each weekend for it to drop. For me this easily started A tier, but quickly moved up to S tier once I got deep into it. Easily my favorite currently running manga.
The ride Undead Unluck took me on was so worth these years, It's so hard not to love and be enthralled with all of the Negators. It really is satisfying and I'm so excited to see what the latest chapter is going to throw. I honestly hope that the anime can get picked up for more seasons because it'll be such an amazing experience. Also! UMA isn't supposed to be just all one word, it's an acronym for "Unidentified Mysterious Animal" similar to how people use UFO. It's used to describe strange creatures in media that have not yet been confirmed by science, they have mystical properties and supernatural abilities which perfectly match the reality bending concepts of the entities the world Undead Unluck has.
A lot of mangas released on shonen jump die so quickly and it sucks when you start a new manga and just know it'll have 20 chapters then be axed. When i read Undead Unluck i can't remember how i felt initially but I remember getting hyped from the gina fight and loving the Autumn Arc. This video was great well done
Lol that intro aged like milk. Undead Unluck is crazy popular now, and I'm so glad because it's a FANTASTIC series. I'm anime-only right now, but I might start reading the manga after the first season wraps up.
Undead Unluck truly is one of the fee series where the side cast is developed and the power system and fights are creative. Like in most manga, we mostly see hand to hand combat, magic focused combat, sword fighting,etc., but in this series we get a variety of fights like boxing, martial arts, fighting in a war, exploring space, etc., not to mention the unique and creative power system as well. Another strength of the manga is the change of setting. Like we always start a new arc with a fresh new setting which makes the arc more exciting. From all the anime and manga that I've watched and read, only JoJo's and Undead unluck have great changes in their settings.
I gotta say, I first learned about this series from the anime popping up on my anime site, but I binged through the entire manga within a week, because it had me hooked. I always love the type of relationship that Andy and Fuuko have. So I’m excited to see what happens next!
This is deffinately my favorite new shounen series. I think it does what other great series do(like csm,hells paradise) but strays from it in the best way ever. All of them still have the usual shounen fights and training arcs, but the point arent the fights, its the story and the characters growing and developing. Im usually not a fan of romance, yet Fuukos relationship with Andy is o good im genuenly invested in it! Its power system is creative, it ties in with its characters personalities and motives and just rounds up to being an amazing series overall. Im not sure it will happen but im hopeful people will recognize the effort and care the author took with this series and give it the recognition it deserves. Such a good manga!
I can't wait for the anime to drop. I've been reading this manga for a while and am really excited. I doubt that it'll Bryce all the way to loop 101 but I still want to see it try. I hope everyone who everyone this video will give undead unluck a try it is absolutely amazing and needs all the love and support it can Geer.
I agree with almost everything you said in the video! Undead Unluck just kept getting better as a manga as time went on. But i would say that the pivital moment for the character focused change wasn't the time loop and actually unknown, since hes intruduction in the autum arc the manga has been getting way mor attention and had skyrocketed in jumps popularity when hes arc was finished. After he's introduction and surprising sucsses Tozuka has started changing the way the narritive was being told to fit in more with what unknowns arc was like. The thing is that the changes start to pay off big AFTER the timeskip so you don't ntice them so much at first if you don't pay to much atention. Great video nonetheless!
I was not at all interested in UU when I first heard about it. Then RUclips shorts started showing me clips from some of the first few episodes. And I remember what caught me. Andy’s powers. Seeing how Andy played with his regeneration, the super jumping with high pressure blood, the leg spike, the fact he didn’t have a sheath for his god dang sword so he just kept the thing lodged in whatever part of his body was most convenient at the time. That’s what caught my interest. I went in with high expectations for Andy, and low expectations for Fuuko. I expected she’d be the Lucy type of protagonist. Technically a main character, occasionally useful, but mostly she’s just there and suffering. And honestly that isn’t entirely wrong. But from frame one Fuuko is extremely helpful, even when she has nothing in the way of capability. Almost everything Fuuko does helps in the long run. And with time, she becomes the lynch pin of everything. Without her, everyone’s lost already. I love the implication that past Fuuko’s in past loops all died that day on the ledge. Because adding that singular new element- Andy- is what gave us the piece we need for the negators to win. Not Undead, not Just unluck, but Fuuko freaking Izumo.
Dope video. I’m an anime only watcher for the most part and will definitely check it out. I hope it gains a bit of a fan base so we can get to the masterpiece level as you say
The 100th loop saga is mostly Andy as Fuuko is still learning, and the 101st loop saga is mostly about Fuuko as Andy is busy holding back the master rules. That’s why I call them the undead saga and the unluck saga.
god and the best part is, all of these new character recruitment chapters are going to be *amazing* episodes. Just imagine the martial arts tournament, and then a school arc. It's gonna be so much fun.
I knew i had struck gold when the protagonists just joined the organisation and a new concept of alien races existing became real, i was like "holy fuck this shit is wild" especially with the battle that occurred
Bro I read UU all the way to the Autumn arc and then forgot about it but holy shit i am definitely picking it back up! thanks for the reminder of why i love this series! personally for me i never felt that they were trying to one up each unlucky event, i found that it was the randomness that kept me entertained and the creative usage of powers that the cast had. im glad its getting an anime but i bet that it wont fade. maybe my hopes are too high, but i think everyone will love it
I honestly hope we get a surprise and more people find this story now with the anime out there!! Because is a shame this story not being as well known as it deserves....
I think it was really just the first handful of chapters that weren’t incredible. As soon as Gina is introduced I fell in love with the manga and I’m so excited to see how people like the anime.
You were right, I read this Manga while I was bored to death and enjoyed the story as I got even farther I started to love it even more and got more invested. I really wish this Manga get more recognized.
i agree with your reasoning completely. I've been reading since it premiered and though i have always loved the series, since the fight against God and the 101 loop, it has become one of my most anticipated weekly reads. As a big fan of large casts, the current focus on recontextualizing every single negator we met previously regardless of ally/enemy or their previous screentime has been absolutely incredible and is focusing on the thing I have wanted from so many series and have fallen short on, giving each side character their moment in the sun. In its current iteration, the series really fills a specific niche that I adore. I mostly read and don't watch a lot of anime, but the coming seasons I am actually highly anticipating between this and Dungeon Meshi
I love the fact that in exploring the world, they subsequently give more weight to the world's destruction and make you care more for the fight against god, making the eventual fight even more hype!
I am the kind of person to immediately get hooked on a series, and Undead Unluck was very much a similar thing when I saw the first few episodes of it. A couple hours later and I’d read a bunch of the manga and it was the morning of the next day. Been looking forward to new episodes and chapters ever since.
Really cool video also I think it got better around when they Started going over the backstory’s and the second half of the show is just amazing holy shit why did they go all out
Awesome Review, You are right i got very engaged with this manga when i saw a summary of the anime here on yt, but since it only got so far, i wanted to know more about it and began reading it and now i love it and wait patiently for each new chapter on sueisha online 😢 i hope more people get to SEE this Masterpiece 🥺
i have never expected this tho, when i found out this on social media i started watching and ended up watching all and waiting for more! i was also happy to watch this soo muchh and never seen such an abilityyy!
i remember reading this manga as soon as it came out bcz it was new on the shonen jump app. but i stopped around autumn arc bcz i wasnt reading mangas much. getting back to it recently just proved how i've been sitting out on a masterpiece. glad to have been there at the start tho
The best thing about it is that at the end of the 100th loop, it shows you despair. But at the beginning of the 101th loop, you are shown hope. Only problem: Juiz had 100 tries and yet she still failed so hard? I felt like she could've gone a lil further than that current situation.
Juiz is a good character but looks really incompetent in the grand scheme of things. She only seemed to know about a handful of negators before loop 100. I know Victor was adamant about being solo but surely she'd be familiar with more negators because of quests. Billy was able to do in one loop what she did in 100 loops, despite his lack of knowledge. Also she is portrayed as a character of strong morals but would kill negators if there weren't empty seats at the Roundtable, even though they could at least be used to fight God or do other Union related work. At least she had good knowledge on artifacts.
@@DeBean970I'm guessing it's because she can't see it as pragmatic. Like, doing what Fuuko is doing is unconventional and even risky just to save all the negators. Only a kind person could think up of that kind of plan.
@@DeBean970that's the thing. She didn't hesitate to kill negators, which is the biggest blunder she could ever do. That is her biggest flaw, she is so narrow minded that no matter how many loops she has been through, she would do the same.
this series made me realize it was something special by like the 4th episode or something, whichever one made it obvious that stars just didn't exist in this world, until they were brought about by the failure of a quest and release of an UMA. I was blown away by the concept, just a genuinely neat worldbuilding twist never watched past season 1 or read the manga, but this video may have convinced me to do so
Its cool that they took out Andy. Because when he comes back you know its gonna be hype. If im not mistaken then did this with Edward in FMA. Focused on everyone else and then fluidly bring him back in.
I love the fact that the Undead Unluck Reddit kept thinking it was getting cancled all through out the Ragnarok Arc XDDD It was hilarious to watch it unfold.
Haha! Reddit isn’t the best with cancellation predictions :)
@@PlainTalkNoBSI heard of that news back then. It wasn't reddit that came up with it, but some Twitter account that's considered a reputable source on SJ manga. I think it also had something to do with colour pages.
I remember each volume being the last one every ch since the loop
"Unfold" heh
@@randomduck8679It's because SJ has a ranking system by reader popularity named 掲載順, and if a manga stays in the last few or so for too long, it will get cancelled. And Undead Unluck did wander around the last pretty often but always managed to get back up right after with a twist or a fantastic battle.
While I agree the 101st loop was a great reboot to the series, the Anno Un arc is what I'd really point to as the start of Undead Unluck's shift to character focused stories. While it does also involve a battle with a major Uma, the emotional crux of the story is Anno Un and Fuuko's bond.
This. The mangaka entered in his own manga and changed it for the better.

I love that the first people Fuuko recruits on her loop are Nico, Ichico, Gena, and Void. Four of the least developed and explored characters--one of whom was literally a fridged backstory wife!--welcomed into the narrative as important characters you're given time to know and love. Same with Sean--my man was literally unnamed and we only saw his face in the chapter he was killed for his cowardly assassination attempt! And now he's my cringefail son who I want to find happiness! I hope that the anime's production values will draw people in, because there's plenty fun to keep someone going until it hits the highest highs.
As much as I miss Andy as part of the crew, the mere concept of Fuuko fixing everyone's backstory is amazing to read
The first five characters Fuuko recruits are Nico, Ichico, Gena, Void and Sean. Excluding Ichico these were all the negators Andy and Fuuko killed in the previous loop
I love how Fuuko save Nico and Ichico with a smart trick to bypass god.

@papskormsepic7670 Yeah but it's interesting to see how the characters use their abilities to win which I just never found in Undead Unluck, it's just he touches her and something happens so they win
The concepts are presented great, the worldbuilding is amazing, and the charatcer development, and the multiple callbacks to the beginning make this manga an extreme obvious masterpiece to anyone who gives it 10 chapters, and especially anyone who keeps going -_-. It doesn’t start bad, it starts questionable in 1 spot and grows past it, this video generalizes and makes it sound worse. Masterpiece
I'm glad you're so passionate about Undead Unluck :)
I was reading it week by week and dropped it at around chapter 110 last year. It has some good parts but most of it is just a drag to read
@@PlainTalkNoBSwhere can I find this
The Manga Plus app will let you read the entire series for free 1 time.
@@williamrivera5866 Viz/shonen jump manga app for $3 a month, or yeah there’s other free methods
The difference between the the 100th loop and the 101st loop is the same as Juiz and Fuuko. The 100th feels more battle focused and overall cold. We don’t even know unavoidable full name throughout the entirety of it. Because in the pursuit of the death of God, Juiz lost anything that didn’t focus on that goal. Whereas with 101st everything is so Fuuko, being character driven this half pairs well with how much she cares about the individual people in her life. I don’t know if that was intentional by the author from the start buts it’s masterful at portraying both characters and freshens up the idea of doing it all over again because it’s from 2 different perspectives.
which is probably why Juiz despite going through 100 loops was never able to reach her goal of killing god, which is kind of ironic if you think about it.
Actually though, Fuuko can do so well without sacrifices in her loop is largely due to Unknown providing her with all the important information on all the major upcoming events and her using her immortality as a looper more effectively than Juiz.
@@cloutan2746 most artifacts impart visions of past loops. The G-liner pen gives it all yes, but Juiz has ample opportunity to have learned everything first hand or through these imparted visions. The G-liner pen gives a MUCH clearer picture though, so much so that the comparison to the usual visions is laughable. HOWEVER, it only shows the past and future of the current loop, and we know she hasn’t used it in the 101st loop. So i think the knowledge between 100th loop Juiz and 101st Fuuko the same.
@@cloutan2746 unlike Juiz who pretty much played it safe, Fuuko is more willing to take risk and gambles that will give the world the best results.
@@damonlam9145 I think Fuko has the advantage of it being her first time looping along with the knowledge of artifacts and previous loops. So, she will experiment and try out different possibilities. But when you loop multiple times like Juiz did and still fail, it will weigh down on you. Juiz probably was like Fuko is right now. But her vision of Justice changed from 0 to 100. Even Victor knew that she cannot keep going and wanted to kill her.
I found this manga from a RUclips short, and fell in love with it, especially when the 101th loop began and Fuko is out here recruiting all the negators by herself. I really wish this series got more love, but I can definitely understand when it tends to stay in the shadows.
The 101st loop is something truly special! It's so much fun!
I really hope more people find this series it's so awesome
Agreed! :)
Agreed as well!
I’m so glad I found it I’m a little late but even the first episode of the anime has got me hooked
@@sableyesundaygaming2016 its a great series you should def the rest after too
I spent all night catching till the last chapter I didn't even realize it was already morning when I was reading it. I've never read an amazing manga like this one. The build up to chapter 125 was amazing the current loop also makes every interaction with the characters heartwarming. I've always thought of "If only I go back in the past, I could change my life." But after reading this manga. I don't think I have to. I've already had more than enough time to make everything right again. Fukoo is such an amazing character, I seen her at her weakest to now her most strongest. I can't recommend this manga enough. Please go read it.
Glad you enjoy it!
the magic of this series is that none of the fights in the series felt boring because somehow they always find new ways to surprise me; like there's always new kind of unlucky events that Fuuko can trigger, and Andy always got new moves. Special moves in shonen series often becomes repetitive and stagnated after used many times and often relied on new forms or levels to become stronger, while in Undead Unluck the negators becomes stronger by creativity and personal resolve
not even that it always is something new, it can just be the same thing but the author makes it work in a different way wich is what makes it so great
god , fuuko being a able to do a " bad road " and spread out her unluck across multiple small occurrences instead of one having one single large stroke of unluck happen was such a fucking cool evolution. And it was a callback to Spring where she had done a miniature version through her repeatedly touching Spring which led to multiple strikes of stunning , but non lethal, lightning strikes
I was recommended this manga by an online friend in the MHA fandom when the most recent chapter was chapter 16. And damn am I happy he did. I was a bit put off by the Billy stuff around Chapter 38. But learning what we learn later, on a re-read, that stuff isn’t bad at all. It’s just better with hindsight.
And dammit. The Anno Un Arc is what got me to fully embrace the series and never look back. I really hope people will give this a chance because whilst the fanbase is small, every single person I know who has every read this manga absolutely fucking loves it. I had to berate some of my friends from school to read it. By the time they were caught up they were thanking me for it.
Glad to hear that you're spreading the word about how good Undead Unluck is :)
Is the so called "questionable" part the groping? Lol.
@@c.d.mont.3281 I don’t think I said “questionable” in my comment. But no, because most of that stuff is gone after the first few chapters. More so there is stuff surrounding a character called Billy that doesn’t make a great deal of sense when you first read it but does later on.
@@gardenshed6043 got it. Also the roping was cool
@@c.d.mont.3281 I disagree on that front. But it made sense considering who the characters were in Chapter 1.
The Unknown arc is where I fell in love with the series. The bittersweet sacrifice of Akira just made it one of my favorite arcs. Spring arc ensured that I just kept reading it. can't wait for it to be animated.
I agree that the series decisions to make Fuuko the sole protagonist and developing more the other negators were good choices, but I don't think that the series becomes great only at the end of Ragnarok Arc as you say.
Undead Unluck first saga is more than a story that lives up trying to show off amazing events like the meteor coming off. It always has been a character driven story. The story shows its full character potential and emotion in the Unchange Arc and then it gets really good again in the Spring, Summer, Spring and Ragnarok arcs. Events like Gina's words about wanting to change, Akira's whole backstory, Billy's betrayal motives, Shen and Feng's shared past and tragedies, Rip's emotional force and Nico's grief about his wife are great moments of the first saga that are picked up again in the current saga and developed so amazingly thanks to those ideas being introduced before in the first place.
For example, Billy's wariness of the third dog in the war saga show that he was still going to become the same man who would have rathered betray everyone to protect them than trust in their capabilities but thanks to Fuuko's confrontation this mindset changes to a one where he gets so jealous of the others' capabilities so much that it makes him want to be like them.
So yeah, UU is a hidden gem. It's first chapters are indeed a little worrisome because of Andy's attitude but then this gets corrected and becomes a lovable story about Undead and Unluck.
Hope you are not correct about UU not getting popular because it seems that Shueisha is aiming for it to become a big hit big enough like JJK or MHA. Also, if the series gets a good reception then it means other rather ignored series like Yozakura Family, Sakamoto Days and Akane Banashi will have high hopes put on them and great anime adaptations too.
I love your passion for Undead Unluck :)
I am from the future.
The manga got a significant boost but unfortunately the competition right now is way too big.
It’s doing just fine. I think it’s enough for it to get a second season but definitely not enough to call it a hit.
I would say it’s Fire Force levels of popular or something like that.
This has been my favorite manga for ages now. S Tier world building, massively creative power system, and lovable cast. I was entranced with this series since the first chapter and have kept strong since.
I've been anxious to see the community grow once the anime releases, and I waited every day for an anime announcement for Undead Unluck, and when it was announced, MAN. I wouldn't stop pestering my friends about it.
I'm so happy to see this series getting more attention and coverage. The video was GREAT, amazing job!
It may only get a few seconds of screen time. But I hope DP goes hard on Uma Galaxy. It's a living galaxy in a humanoid form and it's absolutely beautiful as it is terrifying. It's the single largest and most powerful Uma in the series and yet it's completely harmless and so massive that it can't be seen.
I bet it you zoomed out of the UU universe you'd see it just chilling in the Void.
I agree that Uma Galaxy is amazing. The idea that all the stars in the universe is just tied to a single rule is so cool!
@@PlainTalkNoBS even crazier when you realize that taking out Uma Ghost can basically wipe out the Bleach Verse.
Doesn't matter if you scale higher than it most soul reapers that are third seat and above can kill it.
Problem is that killing it means you wipe everyone else out. Bc any thing that is in spirit form or is an exposed soul automatically falls under Uma Ghost jurisdiction for erasure
What really strong point of Undead Unluck is chara development.Literally every fcking chara in the manga especially in Union and Under get chara development.What a great journey,the manga started to really shine for me personally from the "4 Season" arc and still going strong until the recent chapter.Hope the anime going strong,get a good amount of attention worldwide so we can get season 2 even season after that.I really hope someday we get to see "4 Season" and "Ragnarok" arc animated.That's a really AVENGER level battle for manga
The character development, especially in the 101st loop, is so good!
@@PlainTalkNoBS I maybe seems like Undead Unluck bootlicker but hell honestly it is just so good,their story writting in the "4 season" arc onward is really shining example how you write setup and payoff.Especially in 101st loop arc,they are really paying of what story so far about important member of Negator from Union and Under trauma/guilt,about how their Negator power manifesting bringing tragedy to them and people around them ONLY from their flashback or dialogue.And the writter cleverly use that to craft amazing "go back in time" story about Fuuko equipped the information from artifact trying to still let the Negator power manifesting but also trying to prevent the tragedy from happened.
Couldn't agree more about the beginning. I stuck with it after not really rocking with the start besides Shen, Fuuko and the power systems. Then with the Gina Arc (idk the official name), I was hooked.
The Gina Arc early on was definitely a sign that good things were possible!
I remember reading this manga when it came out up to when the unchange girl was introduced but stopped reading because of personal stuff. I was also planning on getting back to the manga after the anime too and man this analysis is really interesting
I hope you find the time to get back to it!
Never mid, needed time to cook
I respect your love for the series!
The newest fight genuinely might be my favorite in the whole series. I just love nico and the word game they play is incredibly creative
i picked up the series in November of 2020 after watching a video which ranked the various manga which were running in jump at the time and very quickly became interested in it. Shen particularly, being such an fun character of course. It wasn't till I had reached the shift in the plot when Galaxy was added that i really got hooked into being a hardcore supporter, i really hope that the upcoming anime gets more people interested, cus while i have gotten a handful of friends to pick it up, who all agree that the series is great. its criminally undervalued when compared to the series which have stronger ground ahead of it (i.e My Hero, JJK, etc.)
The biggest hurdle of the series is how Andy treats Fuuko at the beginning and once we get past that its constantly makings leaps and strides to improve everything.
Fuuko as solo protagonist has been honestly the most fun to follow and is an S tier female lead, which Jump needs more of.
Loved your video! You phrased everything so well! I love how this story grows and evolves, and makes you rethink earlier elements it introduced. I loved Void's re-introduction in the manga, and hearing you talk about it in this video made me love it even more. Thanks so much for this discussion, you made a lot of amazing points 💜 So hyped for the anime!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Void's re-introduction was so well done. I've probably read those chapters 15 to 20 times. Just so amazing!
@@PlainTalkNoBS The only thing about this video I don't like is your little jab to JJK air deals was awesome dude and I'm totally going to finish checking out this Manga I was actually renamed but I stopped for a little bit. This video however has got me back interested
The Spring Uma Arc was so emotional and moving we get to see an Uma who actually likes Humans and how God will force it’s will on those that don’t do what it wants
I've told so many people about how underrated this one is. It's not like so incredible that you should drop everything and read immediately, but it's such a fun and creative story and has oe of the most intersting application of abiliteies that I've ever seen in how creatively they use those powers and the larger purpose they serve.
I really hope the anime does well so more people give it a chance, but considering is David Production who also do all the JoJo adaptations, it honestly seems like a perfect fit
That sun arc was incredible tho
Having just watched the first episode of the Anime, I can safely bet this one wont be overlooked, its an absolute banger...
That kind of funny considering people want to cancel the anime
@@damonlam9145no they don't, they just don't like the groping which makes sense, not liking something doesn't mean its getting "cancelled"
You couldn't have described the first half of the manga better. The only reason I stuck on till past the 100th loop is because I wanted to see different applications of negator powers like you pointed out in the video. Subbed
Thanks for the sub :) The negator powers are so creative!
Great video! Thoroughly explained the highlights and drawbacks of this series (even as it’s in progress) and you really got me hyped for the anime! I read a single chapter in a bookstore one time and thought, “This would be a fire anime one day”, now look where we are😁
Personally loved it from 1 to now. But i will admit the story is amazing right now
I'm glad there are people who love Undead Unluck the whole way through!
Episode 5 almost had me in tears at Gena's fate, the ending with him giving her what she's desired for so long after capture Andy was heart felt, i'm already in love with the series and i really hope more raunchy action comes my way ... Thoroughly looking forward to more episodes and hopefully a season two.
undead unluck is just so enjoyable and fun with such solid character writing, it feels like a 10/10 8/10 series of that makes sense
I wouldn't ever call Udul mid maybe at the very very beginning but with each chapter and arc it grows and builds upon itself one of if not my favourite SJ reads of the last 3 or 4 years from the characters, world building, power system and call backs among other stuff this series is wicked awesome so great video and hope more people talk about Undead Unluck greatness
I'm glad you're a fan of Undead Unluck! The series deserves diehard fans like yourself :)
@PlainTalkNoBS Hell yeah, and just subbed to you gonna check out your Akane Banashi video next
what made me hook was andy's true past and how each of their power can be used in a unique way if your good enough
I needed this video. I unintentionally stopped around chapter 86 bc I was swamped and it was hard getting back into it. I definitely need to catch up now!
I'm glad I was able to help :)
Amazing video! You just convinced me to start this series, thank you for the great recommendation!
As someone who read all (178 as of this comment) chapters in about a week. It's been a banger the whole time, but the reset after witnessing game over has been peak.
Undead Unluck has actually become one of my top 2 animanga of all time. It's genuinely so amazing.
You fr? Above literally everything else? If it takes your manga 2 years to get good then you're better off finding smth else ngl
2 Years? It gets good after like 10 chapters wym?? Only thing above it for me is FMAB lol @@pp2475
@@pp2475to be fair. Gintama is one of the best manga ever and it had a kinda slow first couple chapters.
Also I'd much rather read undead unluck over berserk or vagabond since neither of those are gonna end.
@@pp2475or maybe let them have UU top 2 animanga of all time??
Lol
This series really deserves being hyped for. The story the actions the fights the characters everything is perfect
Fuukkos character development has been the best I’ve seen in a longggg time
this video deserves to go viral, so the series go viral, so the author goes viral, the anime adaptation goes viral and the overall virus of low attention spams dissapear, and more stories and projects get proper time to be developed and even if they flop, good things will be catch on the process, so the next idea goes harder and better!
Haven't read it since chapter 74 dropped for some reason and I recently went back, restarted back at chapter 9, and caught up in 2 days. Something I noticed was that I was way more excited and pumped for the 101st loop stuff than pre-ch125 stuff (aside from the Autumn and Summer arcs which made me cry when I first read them).
My man just read my feelings making this video, nice work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
0:40 I won't take this JJK slander to my face. The current story of JJK is easily equaling (if not surpassing) that of the Shibuya Incident. The biggest fight in the series is currently happening ffs
Here's the harsh truth. The Death Game Arc was a convoluted mess where the author kept adding too many quirks to both the game itself and to many abilities. To argue JJK hasn't declined would require you selecting a previous arc that you think is lower quality than the Death Game. As for where it currently is at, the series is cashing in on fight that was teased from chapter 2. To give a comparable example, think Naruto's Great Ninja War Arc and the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke. The arc was bad but was somewhat forgotten because the fight that was built up for so long that it helped readers forget about the Ninja War arc.
@@PlainTalkNoBS I don't think increasing the complexity of abilities as a series goes on is a bad thing. As for the culling game itself its not too complicated. There are barriers around Japan if you choose to stay your in the game. You couldn't leave the barrier and you get points for killing another person. JJK fights have been consistently good. Hikari vs Kashimo was hype as hell and had no build up.
@@tgclericoll572 the panel where hakari juste hit his jackpot and start hyping himself up and kashimo responds in kind was one of the greatest panel I ever laid my eyes on
Which is exactly why I skipped that part. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I can assume that his criticism was really constructive, you were warned about a controversial opinion coming.
My friend recommended this to me back in late 2020 by just showing me the first page and saying that it starts there and never stops, and that was enough to convince me. It held true too, with the series rarely pumping the brakes. Now well into the 101st loop and I'm still loving every chapter, excitedly waiting each weekend for it to drop. For me this easily started A tier, but quickly moved up to S tier once I got deep into it. Easily my favorite currently running manga.
"Current" Fuuko is probably my fav female animanga character atm
The ride Undead Unluck took me on was so worth these years, It's so hard not to love and be enthralled with all of the Negators. It really is satisfying and I'm so excited to see what the latest chapter is going to throw. I honestly hope that the anime can get picked up for more seasons because it'll be such an amazing experience.
Also! UMA isn't supposed to be just all one word, it's an acronym for "Unidentified Mysterious Animal" similar to how people use UFO. It's used to describe strange creatures in media that have not yet been confirmed by science, they have mystical properties and supernatural abilities which perfectly match the reality bending concepts of the entities the world Undead Unluck has.
A lot of mangas released on shonen jump die so quickly and it sucks when you start a new manga and just know it'll have 20 chapters then be axed. When i read Undead Unluck i can't remember how i felt initially but I remember getting hyped from the gina fight and loving the Autumn Arc. This video was great well done
andy is basically sato but with main-characterness and plot armor
Lol that intro aged like milk. Undead Unluck is crazy popular now, and I'm so glad because it's a FANTASTIC series. I'm anime-only right now, but I might start reading the manga after the first season wraps up.
Undead Unluck truly is one of the fee series where the side cast is developed and the power system and fights are creative. Like in most manga, we mostly see hand to hand combat, magic focused combat, sword fighting,etc., but in this series we get a variety of fights like boxing, martial arts, fighting in a war, exploring space, etc., not to mention the unique and creative power system as well. Another strength of the manga is the change of setting. Like we always start a new arc with a fresh new setting which makes the arc more exciting. From all the anime and manga that I've watched and read, only JoJo's and Undead unluck have great changes in their settings.
This feels like what medaka box was trying to do but less convoluted
I gotta say, I first learned about this series from the anime popping up on my anime site, but I binged through the entire manga within a week, because it had me hooked. I always love the type of relationship that Andy and Fuuko have. So I’m excited to see what happens next!
I feel in LOVE after just the first two episodes! This series is so underrated. And it's peak comedy/epicness.
This is deffinately my favorite new shounen series. I think it does what other great series do(like csm,hells paradise) but strays from it in the best way ever. All of them still have the usual shounen fights and training arcs, but the point arent the fights, its the story and the characters growing and developing. Im usually not a fan of romance, yet Fuukos relationship with Andy is o good im genuenly invested in it! Its power system is creative, it ties in with its characters personalities and motives and just rounds up to being an amazing series overall. Im not sure it will happen but im hopeful people will recognize the effort and care the author took with this series and give it the recognition it deserves. Such a good manga!
Your video interest me about this series more than I think it would. The vid title gets me. Cool
I can't wait for the anime to drop. I've been reading this manga for a while and am really excited. I doubt that it'll Bryce all the way to loop 101 but I still want to see it try. I hope everyone who everyone this video will give undead unluck a try it is absolutely amazing and needs all the love and support it can Geer.
It would be so nice if they made it to the 101st loop but you are right, it's unlikely to get there.
I agree with almost everything you said in the video! Undead Unluck just kept getting better as a manga as time went on. But i would say that the pivital moment for the character focused change wasn't the time loop and actually unknown, since hes intruduction in the autum arc the manga has been getting way mor attention and had skyrocketed in jumps popularity when hes arc was finished. After he's introduction and surprising sucsses Tozuka has started changing the way the narritive was being told to fit in more with what unknowns arc was like. The thing is that the changes start to pay off big AFTER the timeskip so you don't ntice them so much at first if you don't pay to much atention. Great video nonetheless!
I was not at all interested in UU when I first heard about it. Then RUclips shorts started showing me clips from some of the first few episodes.
And I remember what caught me. Andy’s powers. Seeing how Andy played with his regeneration, the super jumping with high pressure blood, the leg spike, the fact he didn’t have a sheath for his god dang sword so he just kept the thing lodged in whatever part of his body was most convenient at the time. That’s what caught my interest.
I went in with high expectations for Andy, and low expectations for Fuuko. I expected she’d be the Lucy type of protagonist. Technically a main character, occasionally useful, but mostly she’s just there and suffering. And honestly that isn’t entirely wrong. But from frame one Fuuko is extremely helpful, even when she has nothing in the way of capability. Almost everything Fuuko does helps in the long run. And with time, she becomes the lynch pin of everything. Without her, everyone’s lost already.
I love the implication that past Fuuko’s in past loops all died that day on the ledge. Because adding that singular new element- Andy- is what gave us the piece we need for the negators to win. Not Undead, not Just unluck, but Fuuko freaking Izumo.
Hey, man, thanks to your video i got back into the manga and boy, was it the best decision ever
I’m sold on the start I’m going to take your word for it and read without spoiling chapter 125 for myself. Great video.
Had to comeback to this video after last episode and you were so right
Dope video. I’m an anime only watcher for the most part and will definitely check it out. I hope it gains a bit of a fan base so we can get to the masterpiece level as you say
Bro a very well explained vid. Thank you 👍👍👍
Welcome :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The 100th loop saga is mostly Andy as Fuuko is still learning, and the 101st loop saga is mostly about Fuuko as Andy is busy holding back the master rules. That’s why I call them the undead saga and the unluck saga.
god and the best part is, all of these new character recruitment chapters are going to be *amazing* episodes. Just imagine the martial arts tournament, and then a school arc. It's gonna be so much fun.
The outfit comment made me immediately think about Anima++. Amazing art in that series, and the artist draws fantastically varied outfits.
I've never heard about Anima++ before. I might have to check it out :)
There is something amazing about people talking about their passion. You sound like you're shining when you talk .
extremely cool video. Maybe hoping for more on Undead Unluck
Thanks! As for more on Undead Unluck, I'd love to do that in the future.
I knew i had struck gold when the protagonists just joined the organisation and a new concept of alien races existing became real, i was like "holy fuck this shit is wild" especially with the battle that occurred
Great video!
Bro I read UU all the way to the Autumn arc and then forgot about it but holy shit i am definitely picking it back up! thanks for the reminder of why i love this series! personally for me i never felt that they were trying to one up each unlucky event, i found that it was the randomness that kept me entertained and the creative usage of powers that the cast had. im glad its getting an anime but i bet that it wont fade. maybe my hopes are too high, but i think everyone will love it
I thought I may not read the manga but you made change my mind thank you ;)
I honestly hope we get a surprise and more people find this story now with the anime out there!! Because is a shame this story not being as well known as it deserves....
ive been a undead unluck fan for about a year and a half and its been so fire since
You convinced me to give the anime a try when it comes out. Thanks
I think it was really just the first handful of chapters that weren’t incredible. As soon as Gina is introduced I fell in love with the manga and I’m so excited to see how people like the anime.
Great video man
Thank you :)
You were right, I read this Manga while I was bored to death and enjoyed the story as I got even farther I started to love it even more and got more invested. I really wish this Manga get more recognized.
Hopefully someday it will get the recognition it deserves!
i agree with your reasoning completely. I've been reading since it premiered and though i have always loved the series, since the fight against God and the 101 loop, it has become one of my most anticipated weekly reads. As a big fan of large casts, the current focus on recontextualizing every single negator we met previously regardless of ally/enemy or their previous screentime has been absolutely incredible and is focusing on the thing I have wanted from so many series and have fallen short on, giving each side character their moment in the sun. In its current iteration, the series really fills a specific niche that I adore. I mostly read and don't watch a lot of anime, but the coming seasons I am actually highly anticipating between this and Dungeon Meshi
I love the fact that in exploring the world, they subsequently give more weight to the world's destruction and make you care more for the fight against god, making the eventual fight even more hype!
Everything after chapter 110 is genuinely amazing
I am the kind of person to immediately get hooked on a series, and Undead Unluck was very much a similar thing when I saw the first few episodes of it.
A couple hours later and I’d read a bunch of the manga and it was the morning of the next day.
Been looking forward to new episodes and chapters ever since.
I dropped this pretty early but this video intrigued me and after watching i think ill pick it back up
I'm glad you're going to give it a second chance :)
Unironically, I started this series because I liked the character designs that I saw on the covers, took a gamble, and here I am, keeping up weekly
Fuuko going from chubby NEET to fit leader was such a nice journey.
Really cool video also I think it got better around when they Started going over the backstory’s and the second half of the show is just amazing holy shit why did they go all out
undead unluck literally changed my brain. now whenever someone says a word using the prefix un- undead unluck is immediately what I think of
I loved the part where mr unloop said Its loopin time and Looped all over the place
LOL
Mc with regeneration lets you do so much things with it
Absolutely though sometimes it can be a lazy power as well. In the case of Undead Unluck, they do a really good job with it.
Awesome Review, You are right i got very engaged with this manga when i saw a summary of the anime here on yt, but since it only got so far, i wanted to know more about it and began reading it and now i love it and wait patiently for each new chapter on sueisha online 😢 i hope more people get to SEE this Masterpiece 🥺
You should make another video considering how the manga has been progressing. Especially with the latest stake of enemies they have right now
Great video, would love to here you'r opinion on choujin x
You're right. I read the first chapter of this and felt basically nothing. I'm glad it does seem to get better.
IT WAS NEVER MID YOU PLEB!!!
J/k (at the pleb part)
I got hooked at chapter 1 so hard agree
You Will fall in love with these characters
And the powers are geniuenly creative
i have never expected this tho, when i found out this on social media i started watching and ended up watching all and waiting for more! i was also happy to watch this soo muchh and never seen such an abilityyy!
Thanks to your video im now a huge fan of UU, THANK YOU!!!😊
i remember reading this manga as soon as it came out bcz it was new on the shonen jump app. but i stopped around autumn arc bcz i wasnt reading mangas much. getting back to it recently just proved how i've been sitting out on a masterpiece. glad to have been there at the start tho
The best thing about it is that at the end of the 100th loop, it shows you despair. But at the beginning of the 101th loop, you are shown hope. Only problem: Juiz had 100 tries and yet she still failed so hard? I felt like she could've gone a lil further than that current situation.
Its not cool spoiling people
Juiz is a good character but looks really incompetent in the grand scheme of things. She only seemed to know about a handful of negators before loop 100. I know Victor was adamant about being solo but surely she'd be familiar with more negators because of quests. Billy was able to do in one loop what she did in 100 loops, despite his lack of knowledge. Also she is portrayed as a character of strong morals but would kill negators if there weren't empty seats at the Roundtable, even though they could at least be used to fight God or do other Union related work. At least she had good knowledge on artifacts.
@@DeBean970I'm guessing it's because she can't see it as pragmatic. Like, doing what Fuuko is doing is unconventional and even risky just to save all the negators.
Only a kind person could think up of that kind of plan.
@@DeBean970 that's her main flaw, she is so obsessed in her goal of killing god that she doesn't see the flaws in her execution.
@@DeBean970that's the thing. She didn't hesitate to kill negators, which is the biggest blunder she could ever do. That is her biggest flaw, she is so narrow minded that no matter how many loops she has been through, she would do the same.
this series made me realize it was something special by like the 4th episode or something, whichever one made it obvious that stars just didn't exist in this world, until they were brought about by the failure of a quest and release of an UMA. I was blown away by the concept, just a genuinely neat worldbuilding twist
never watched past season 1 or read the manga, but this video may have convinced me to do so
Its cool that they took out Andy. Because when he comes back you know its gonna be hype. If im not mistaken then did this with Edward in FMA. Focused on everyone else and then fluidly bring him back in.
Taking out Andy is such a bold and amazing choice. I agree that his return will be SO HYPE!
