Dream
Episode 7 of Undead Unluck Season 1 begins with Andy urging the zombies to attack Spoil. Meanwhile, Fuuko introduces herself and Shen to the boy and learns he’s named Ken. Ken explains how he and the other children survived Spoil’s attack on Longing. Ken states Spoil arrived at Longing out of nowhere and used its ability to turn everyone into zombies. Thankfully, Ken’s teacher took him and his classmates to this underground location where they’ll be safe from Spoil’s wrath.
She promises she won’t die until she marries someone. Unfortunately, she doesn’t keep her promise and spoils, upsetting Ken. Ken comforts his friend Mii, whose bodily numbers are decreasing quickly. Ken comforts Mii, reminding her of her dream to give their teacher numerous sunflowers. This act of kindness raises Mii’s numbers, surprising Fuuko. Ken begs Fuuko and Shen to defeat Spoil. Fuuko and Shen hear loud noises outside and spot Andy fighting Spoil alongside the zombies.
Andy asks Shen and Fuuko to look after his bride. Ken reveals that Andy’s bride is their teacher and tells the others. While observing Ken and his friends’ reunion with their teacher, a zombie bumps into Fuuko. It rushes toward Spoil and collapses. Andy informs his zombie companions to touch Fuuko. He says they’ll turn into bombs capable of damaging Spoil. Fuuko believes Andy’s plan is absurd since the zombies won’t be willing to sacrifice themselves.
However, Ken’s teacher proves her wrong. She rushes over to hug Fuuko and Fuuko removes her glove to ensure she receives as much of her Unluck as possible. Ken tries to stop his teacher from ending her life, but Shen uses his ability to stop him. Ken’s teacher sacrifices herself and explodes within Spoil’s hand. It damages him a bit but it isn’t enough to defeat him. Shen tells the children to stay in the underground area while Fuuko starts touching the other zombies to spread more explosive Unluck.
Shen informs Andy that he and Fuuko were infected by Spoil’s curse. Andy suggests they murder Spoil instead of capturing it. Shen reminds Andy that they’ll fail their mission if they go through with this plan. Suddenly, Spoil absorbs other zombies and changes its form. Spoil overwhelms Andy in its second phase and taunts Shen and Fuuko. While Shen backs away for a bit, Fuko shares a heartfelt speech about dreams and never giving up. This allows Fuuko to increase the number on her body, surprising Spoil.
Shen returns and shares his dream with Spoil to increase his curse’s number. The episode closes with Shen attacking Spoil with his cane.
The Episode Review
This episode of Undead Unluck was packed with fun action and emotional scenarios to keep viewers captivated. From Ken’s teacher sacrificing herself to save her students to Fuuko’s heartfelt speech about dreams, fans will adore seeing Undead Unluck’s giving its female cast a lot of love this week. At the same time, Spoil is proving itself a formidable adversary to Andy, Shen, and Fuuko.
With its intricate Spoil ability and second phase, fans will wonder how our heroes will defeat it. Action aside, the animation was as pleasing as the previous chapter. While the CGI zombie designs may take some folks out of the experience, the way David Productions animated Ken’s teacher’s sacrificial sequence was pleasing to the eye.
Having her run through Mii’s field of sunflowers was a nice touch and added emotional depth to it. Although the series could benefit from explaining certain rules and methods better, this was another fun chapter to watch. I’m interested to see how Andy and the others will stop Spoil next week.
