Undead Unluck Impressed With the Twist, but There's a Quite Expected Problem

Pacing issues break plot twists!

Undead Unluck spoilers ahead!

Summary:

  • Episode 16 began the final confrontation between the Union and the main villain (a mysterious god).
  • Billy allied himself with the Negators' hunters against Juiz.
  • It's not the first time Undead Unluck has been criticized for pacing issues.

Undead Unluck has entered its final phase and even the atmosphere of the series has become darker. Before Episode 15, the show entertained with funny moments even in the most dire situations, but now there are fewer jokes and more tragic elements.

Episode 16 began the final confrontation between the Union and the main villain (a mysterious god), but it was impressive, particularly because of an unexpected twist involving one of the Roundtable members.

However, many viewers complain that the moment didn't work well due to pacing issues.

Impressive as always

Undead Unluck is an unusual title that stands out from many anime currently being released. However, the series has never abused the abrupt plot twists and cliffhangers that keep you interested in the anime. For a long time, Undead Unluck was an unusually well-crafted story with a well-rounded dose of absurdity and comedic moments.

After Chikara entered the story, Undead Unluck became darker. We learned two similar tragic backstories at once, which showed how difficult and unfair the fate of the Negators is. Chikara's entry into the Union also marked the beginning of the organization's final clash with a god bent on world destruction.

Episode 16 began with a meeting of the Roundtable members and the announcement of new assignments. However, the usual procedure was interrupted by the unexpected betrayal of Billy, the Negator who saved Tatiana. He allied himself with the Negators' hunters against Juiz.

While Billy's betrayal was indeed unexpected, many people began to complain that it was impossible to understand the character's significance from the story.

Billy only appeared at the beginning when Andy and Fuuko first joined the Union, in the confrontation with Victor, and in Tatiana's flashbacks. Viewers had no chance to not only get to know the character, but to simply remember him.

It's not the first time an adaptation has been criticized for pacing issues. This time, however, the problem of revealing Billy's betrayal too quickly was also present in the manga. The twist was unexpected but did not have a strong emotional impact. Except for Tatiana's reaction when she experienced the betrayal of the man who replaced her parents.
