Undead Unluck Episode 1 Recap
The opening sequence of “Undead Unluck” Episode 1 is a puzzling one in which the viewer is forced to observe two scenes at the same time: a bewildering montage of a girl traversing a snowy city, followed by a dramatic plane explosion at an airport. Some of the preceding scenes are from this book, as revealed by the girl closing a novel in the narrative.
The woman stands precariously on top of a bridge, looming over a train track, her intent apparent. In response to her suicidal thoughts, a mysterious white-haired man appears behind her, trying to dissuade her from acting. He walks right into its path, impaling himself through his chest, when she threatens him with a knife.
She is moved away from the bridge’s edge by the man who remains unharmed. The man falls onto a speeding train abruptly when the platform he stood on collapses, seemingly leading to his death. The girl, overwhelmed by guilt for inadvertently causing the man’s death, collapses.
She was shocked when the man’s head suddenly detached from his body and began talking. Even though he only has his head intact, the man still appears alive, like a zombie. Terrified, the girl flees, but the man’s curiosity gets the best of him, and he grabs her, soaring up into the sky, compelled by the blood from his severed legs.
The flight comes to a halt at a building, where the girl reluctantly reveals that anyone who touches her will die. From the beginning, her parents perished in the plane explosion. Suddenly, a box containing bananas fell from the sky, landing on him directly after the man touched her one more time.
Even though the outcome would have been deadly for anyone else, the man remains unharmed. While trying to flee again, the girl steps on a banana and teeters on the edge of the building, only to be rescued by a man. In eager to find out more about her “Unluck,” he takes her to his hideout.
The undead man’s hideout is reported to an unknown authority by a group led by a man with a katana. Inside the undead man’s hideout, the girl attempts another escape. As a result of her jacket being caught on something, her hat falls off, revealing her extremely long hair. She explains that anyone who touches it will die.
She decides to test her Unluck by cutting her hair, but the katana man abruptly decapitates him before the outcome is revealed. When the katana man and his underlings try to capture the undead man, they fail miserably since the girl’s Unluck triggers a lightning strike, incapacitating one of them.
Upon regaining his freedom, the undead man dispatches all of his underlings, but he cannot finish off the katana man, who kidnaps the girl and demands that he surrender his life willingly. In a daring move, the girl frees herself and rushes toward the flying head, kissing it to make her Unluck stronger.
The undead man reluctantly surrenders, severing his head and tossing it toward the katana man. In recognizing the situation, the undead man tells the girl to flee while restraining the katana man.
A meteor unexpectedly strikes both of them. She watches in astonishment as the undead man emerges unharmed from the catastrophe outside the impact zone. The episode culminates in a poignant moment as they share their names: the girl is Fuuko Izumi, while the man is christened “Andy” by her, unwilling to reveal his true name.
