Undead Unluck Season 2 Could Expand Upon One of the Best Parts of the Series

While the Undead Unluck Manga has ended, it is not the last that fans have seen of the series. After the well-received first season of the anime, a sequel has been confirmed for Undead Unluck.

While the manga has ended, that does not mean that the anime cannot provide any surprises for die-hard fans of the series. In fact, this next season has an opportunity to expand on one of the most hyped parts of the Undead Unluck story; the fights, and most notably for the sequel, Billy vs Juiz. Alongside David Productions’ handling of the series, and guidance from the manga author Yoshifumi Tozuka, the sequel could turn an already incredible moment into a legendary one.

Undead Unluck Season 2

Undead Unluck “Sequel” to Come Later This Year

An Undead Unluck sequel has been confirmed for some time this year (likely around November or December). While some details have been released, we don’t know everything that is in store for this next production. So far, what we have learned is that it will be an hour-long special, with new original content overseen by the author. It is also expected to continue covering the fight hinted at the end of Season 1, but where it goes from there is anyone’s guess. It is also important to note that the announcement mentions this episode as a “sequel”, while any more episodes following this have not been confirmed or elaborated on yet.

Undead Unluck season 1 already took a good amount of creative liberties in adapting the manga story, not veering too far off as to be considered an “original” telling, but adding new things that would be rewarding to fans and newcomers alike. And a lot of the great reception of the series so far has been due to David Productions’ amazing handling of the series.

David Productions Anime Track Record

Undead Unluck is in Good Hands with David Productions

David Productions is an important name in anime. They are well known for their individuality and how they stand out with their adaptations, with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and Fire Force being among their most well-known. They are renowned for taking passion projects on as their adaptations of choice. And much like another notable studio, Studio Trigger, their unique style has found them acclaim in the industry. Things like their sound design as well as intense action sequences have propelled them to a fan favorite among anime studios.

So far, with the Undead Unluck adaptation, this reputation has preceded them. Since the first episode, and even the first trailer release, David Production has shown that they were willing to put great care into assuring that they did the story as much justice as possible. With that being said, this sequel has the opportunity for David Production to expand even further upon one of the best parts of the series.

Undead Unluck’s Fights

Undead Unluck’s Unique Power System Provides for Incredibly Dynamic Conflicts

Undead Unluck’s master rules provide some of the most interesting opportunities for fights in Shonen manga today. While many battle shonen find a unique way to stand out in their fights, whether it be the dynamic choreography of Attack on Titan’s action scenes or the unparalleled animation from Ufotable in Demon Slayer, Undead Unluck’s Master Rules means that “fights” often go much deeper than hand to hand, or sword to sword.

The various Negator abilities as well as the Master Rules “domains” mean that fights can take interesting and mind-bending turns. At the end of season 1 of Undead Unluck, the season ends on a cliffhanger, as Billy and Juiz are teased as preparing to face off. In the manga, this was one of the first major fights, and it did not disappoint in setting the tone for how compelling Undead Unluck’s fights would prove to be.

Undead Unluck Billy vs Juiz

In the manga, this fight was where Tozuka really began to flex the scope of his vision for Undead Unluck’s power system. Billy vs Juiz is teased at the end of season 1 and will prove to be an immensely entertaining fight if it is anything like the manga.

Billy wielding Unfair and assumedly Unjustice, against Juiz’s Unjustice provided so much narrative significance on top of the intensity of the fight. Because of David Production announcing that this sequel will be an hour-long episode with original content, hopefully that means the impact and visuals of the fight will be even more pronounced.

Undead Unluck Language Fight

Depending on how the sequel anime for Undead Unluck goes, and if David Production continues to produce the show, then the “Language” fight for Undead Unluck should prove to be an amazing spectacle as well.

As mentioned before, the Master Rules “domains” mean that they each have their own unique approach to conflict. In the fight against “Language”, Language begins by taking away the Union’s ability to communicate with each other. This dampens their communication, and makes a coordinated battle all but impossible. From then on, they “battle” through a game called Shiratori. This is a Japanese game where a person says a word and then their “opponent” has to say a new word using the last “kana” of the previous word. But in this game of Shiratori, what the user says manifests in reality. The strength of these illusions is then bolstered by the power of the speaker’s imagination.

The entire fight is amazing and calls into question a lot of concepts like the soul and skepticism, so if you haven’t had the chance to check it out already, you can continue reading the manga (or hopefully it will be animated eventually).

All in all, the Undead Unluck manga provides a lot of opportunities for visually interesting and narratively compelling fights. Alongside an incredible team like David Production, hopefully we will continue to see Undead Unluck push the medium forward for years to come.

Undead Unluck is available to stream on Hulu. You can also read the manga on VIZ’s Shonen Jump app and website.
