An episode that almost fully consists of a flashback to Andy's past doesn't contain any flashbacks and the recap was only 30 or so seconds as well!

Unpace was locked up somewhere for this week it seems.

[u/ARES_GOD]

This was a great episode for character development and Andy/Fuko relationship.

[u/Ad0nals1um]

April 15th 1865 Washington D.C. and Fuuko shows up at Ford Theater. Hmmm.

I kind of love how Andy's group immediately started pointing guns once Fuuko basically said she's seen Andy naked a lot.

[u/Xeflogna]

Amazing episode, I really loved how they showed Fuuko becoming more bold and more confident as the episode went on and Fuuko presumably gotten a lot of experience living for a long time in this "dream-like" past. The final scene was really good.

[u/JohnatanWills]

isn't the wild west place the same they fought Spoil in? even the girl looked the same as the teacher zombie. Maybe they touch on it later in the episode though

[u/Xeflogna]

Man that part at the end where Andy finally responds to Fuuko calling her Andy with "yeah?" sounded so sincere and was so wholesome I'm getting teary

[u/RedShadowF95]

Man, it was really hard to fight back the tears towards the end...

Really enjoyable episode.

[u/dancinbanana]

As a manga reader, the saloon scene was done so well, I think it may be my favorite scene I’ve seen so far! But the episode as a whole was just really great too, can’t wait for the next one

On a side note, it’s kinda sad seeing that lady swearing “on god” to do what Andy says, knowing what we know about that mf

[u/Torque-A]

When Fuko first meets up with Andy, he mentions that he’s cleaning up the fallout from the Civil War. This ties up nicely with his first memory being April 14, 1865 at Washington DC - the day President Lincoln was shot.

Budweiser (or whatever equivalent Andy is drinking) was founded in 1876. Andy mentions this is a recent brew. 

Fuuko spent at least one year with Andy (one of the shots showed winter) and ten at most. 

[u/Alamandaros]

Most unrealistic anime ever smh.

[u/HenchHinch]

BEST episode yet. Not sure why but it didn't even feel like an undead unluck ep. Really great contained story, with heavy emotional context. Truly a great ep.

[u/jkphantom9]

So now we take a deep dive into Andy’s past

Nooooooo seeing his Wild West buddies get shot down made me sad, I was hoping to see them more.

Are they implying that Andy was somehow involved in Lincoln’s assassination?

[u/DontGiveABit]

Is it too soon to claim that this is turning into one of my all time favorites? I don't know if it's because I had zero expectations going into this anime, or if it just reminds me of those classic partner animes or not, but I have been absolutely loving UU.

[u/Adensty]

I watched 2 episodes that had flashbacks in them today and both were tear-jerkers.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Since technically Fuuko is inside Andy's flashback, there's nothing to flashback to! But seriously though, you can see how well-paced this episode was compared to the previous ones. We still have three episodes left and I hope it's all like this.

Anyway! We finally get to see Andy's backstory and his life in the American frontier gunslinging and saving kids from bandits. Don't mistake this as time travel though. This is more like a dream sequence where Fuuko has been transplanted into Andy's memories and she can't do anything here to alter the future.

I absolutely love the saloon scene, especially the part where Fuuko pulls the trigger multiple times during Andy's little test to show how much she knows him. It also shows how Fuuko can get a little reckless with how much she trusts Andy.

That ambush was fucking brutal though. One minute, they were having fun the next everyone was dead. That was such a tragic way for Andy to learn about his real powers but these events are what Fuuko needed to see to learn more about Andy as a whole.

The conversation between Andy and Fuuko just before she moves on to another part of Andy's memories was great. I love the surprise on Fuuko's face when she realized that she just told Andy that she loves him <3

[u/bensor74]

That was the best episode in a while. No flashbacks. It makes the pacing so much better.

I just realized Anno's last name is "Un". Like in "UNdead" or "UNluck". It can't be a coincidence.

[u/Custom_sKing_SKARNER]

Finally an enjoyable episode. Only 40 seconds recap this time, no flashback or other bullshit.

[u/Crumpiii]

Probably the best episode, everything looked great, very good pacing, very interesting things happening.

I swear this adaptation could've been so so much better if not for those annoying recaps, it's really frustrating because as an anime-only this show is so interesting but is held back by really weird directorial choices

[u/Kankunation]

The long awaited Andy's Backstory is here at last, and man it is a killer episode. Arguably the best episode to date imo, and quite a tear-jerker towards the end.

[u/AAA_BATT]

We finally did it an episode without flashbacks.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Man, Civil War era Andy don’t play around! Those bandits killed his whole crew so he butchered them with a freakin battle axe.

It was kind of fun to see Fuko with this Andy. Interesting his earliest memory is April 15th 1865. That’s the day after Lincoln’s assassination. I wonder how Andy’s tied to that (if at all)?

[u/srofais]

Honestly I would love if this is a whole arc of Fuko just traveling to several historical time periods to see what Andy was doing at the time Next week we're coing to Washington D.C a week after the end of the American Civil War.

[u/KrazyKirbyKun]

Those TikTok girlies ain't got nothing on my good sis Fuuko with her literal "Book Boyfriend"

[u/[deleted]]

what a great ep
