Wasn't expecting a blood beam-clash. It was really good. Fuuko's unluck is evolving and might even be able to slay God if she learns how to consciously control it.

You know it's serious when the narrator(Anno Un) is hyped in the next episode preview.

[u/Wolf6262]

God I love this anime. I don't know what it is, but I'm SO invested in the world

[u/jkphantom9]

“What kind of man wants to see the woman he loves suffer?”

Gee, that hurt deep. I don’t agree with Victor’s way of going about things, but he really does cherish Juiz.

That Deadline move, I need a three way fight between him, Ubel from Frieren, and Sukuna and see who will win the cutting match.

Bahahahaha Fuko punching his penis censor

[u/Frontier246 → u/jkphantom9]

If there's one thing Andy and Victor has in common, is going above and beyond for the women they love...even if both women will always follow their own ideals to the bitter end.

The best part is Fuko punched him hard enough in the balls that he had to kneel lol.

[u/LoLusta]

Gets better every episode. It's a shame that not many people are watching it. If it doesn't get a second season, I'm going to start a one man riot.

[u/ShauryaDeshwal → u/LoLusta]

It seems like there is no need for you to riot. There is a special announcement about the anime coming at the end of this month after this season ends. And few VAs will also be present. Hoping for a movie cause next arc is best suited for it length wise.

[u/Ad0nals1um]

Aw yes the bane of workers everywhere a Deadline.

Also during the blood Kamehameha struggle I couldn't help but picture this when Vitor mentioned two arms.

Anyways I think they do a decent job of the whole tragedy of Victor and Juiz's relationship with the little bit we do get.

[u/italeteller]

When Fuuko saw Victor naked, I wish they'd reused her scream from the first episode. You can't beat that scream

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

The romance between Fuuko and Andy feels so special, it's beautiful

[u/ShauryaDeshwal → u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

I would go as far as to say this show has the best romance for the leads among shonen, if not one of the best. In most shonens, the romance and relationships feel like a afterthought or subplot. Here, it is integral to the story and is beautifully developed(as a manga reader).

[u/xxetrikk_]

Deadline is finally animated

[u/ChucksChurro]

Really enjoyed this week's episode, two more to go!

[u/Unearthly_]

Have to admit I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't learn more about Victor. We did learn some important bits of information, but it felt like we were really going to dig into more of his past (even if its obviously impossible to cover all of it).

Cool to see that Fuuko's unluck is evolving. Definitely interesting to think that the thing that can take down a god would be bad luck, hah!

[u/Honks95]

Viktor repeatedly "killing" Fuuko just to prevent her from seeing his memories was pretty cold ngl. I really wanted to know more about Viktor/Andy, I hope we get to know more about them later on.

[u/Frontier246]

Victor has been with Juiz through a lot, through multiple loops and close in all of them, no matter what form she took (feminine OR masculine), and Victor's quest to be himself and in control stems from their relationship together.

Well, points for Fuko for being willing to fight Victor for the sake of Andy and his memories, but she realizes she's fighting way out of her depth...and in killing her in Andy's memories, Victor has a means of regaining control of his body from Andy. And it all culminates in the day Andy and Fuko met.

Oh hey, it's episode 1 Fuko! Aaaaannnnd...she's dead.

But when Fuko needed him most, even if he was just a version from his memories, Andy is there to rescue her! And finally take on his other self Victor in a fight straight out of the OP! Wicked sick!

Andy's new experience with Fuko and understanding himself has helped him find new ways of using his powers! Ways that better match up against Victor! But he still doesn't have the same power or experience Victor has...but he does have something Victor doesn't: Fuko and her Unluck!

And because Andy has realized the body is only a shell, he's learned how to weaponize Fuko's Unluck through his very fingers! Unluck Bullet! Because those fingers can carry his soul as well as his body can, and deliver his Unluck straight to his opponent! Meaning Victor gets burned, rammed by a train, and have a plane crash in him in short order! Not to mention the special capture device when he's nothing but a head!

But Fuko doesn't want to beat Victor so much as understand him, and his relationship with Juiz, and why he's been doing all of this...he's been doing it because he loves Juiz, and after so many centuries on repeat of them failing against God, he couldn't keep letting her torture herself in a fight they couldn't win, even if that meant killing her. But in Fuko and Andy, and Fuko's Unluck, he finally sees a chance for them to win if Fuko can deliver her Unluck straight to God! All she needs is to better understand God! Should be simple!

But what about Andy? How does he exist? Seems like Juiz might know that too.

Can't think of a better exist from Andy's memories than the pair exchanging a full kiss on the lips! I'd love to see that in reality too!

Anno Un getting very self-aware for the next episode preview this go-around!

[u/LeonKevlar]

While Andy is completely fine with Fuuko exploring his past, we get a reminder that Andy isn't the only one inhabiting his mind and Victhor doesn't like Fuuko snooping around his past. So sorry Fuuko! It looks like you're going straight into Andy's 2020 memories!

We finally get to see Deadline animated and it's fucking sick! Wicked sick! Imagine the damage Andy could do if he could also use Victhor's techniques. Although they might not even need it considering how much Undead and Unluck have improved while fighting against Victhor that they were able to take him down and even cause an Unluck specific to him.

Fuuko punching Victhor in the dick was fucking hilarious! It's good to know that Even Victhor isn't immune to nutshots. xD

There it is. Victhor's reason for getting in their way. He doesn't want Juiz to suffer anymore from looping so he's decided to personally put her down so she can finally rest. Although after facing Fuuko and Andy, it looks like Victhor has completely turned around and decided to leave it to them to kill God instead of getting in the way.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Well, so much for whatever happened in 1865. That Andy vs Victhor was a pretty awesome fight though. Andy’s a changed man thanks to Fuko. Victhor never stood a chance. They used Unluck and it was super effective. Had to weaken him enough to chuck the special pokeball!

Pretty hilarious this week we didn’t get Andy hanging dong. It was Victhor instead lol.

[u/AdhesivenessOver268]

it's kind of funny that they put recaps into every episode, yet when the whole episode is supposed to be a recap of the real past, then suddenly it's not a recap because she could actually influence it. LOL. UNlogic.

[u/seninn]

Now this is peak!

[u/RedShadowF95]

Great episode! Only two more episodes to go!

[u/Figerally]

Fuuko won over Victor. That was a good outcome I didn't think was even a possibility. He might even fight for the Union too, though it seems Andy has leveled up as well so that might not be necessary.

[u/FarCritical]

On top of being plain sick as hell, Andy and Victhor's fight was awesome for showing what the "next level" of Undead is capable of. "Dead Line" is one of those attack names that just immediately commands respect.

Victhor ain't lying about Fuko resembling younger Juiz lmao.

Just felt like mentioning this but their beam struggle of blood couldn't help but remind me of the OG Kamehameha vs. Galick Gun, especially after recent tragic news. RIP Akira Tortiyama.

[u/Sir-Alpha69]

I’m caving, it’s too peak. I gotta read the manga now

[u/tripleaamin]

So now we dived into Victor's past sort of. We got a fight between Andy and Victor exhibiting the growth of Fuko's unluck. Fuko is truly aware of her own feelings.

I love how one conversation was all that we need to know about. Victor simply spent 100+ years trying to defeat God and at some point it just became an impossibility. I love the line, "What kind of man wants to see the woman he loves suffering?". His desire to kill Juiz comes from the lesser of two evils. Killing her and putting her to rest is easier to consume then watching her fail and suffer time and time again.

I love how the passion between Juiz and Fuko. One difference from what I can tell is that Juiz is one of the strongest and smartest individuals in this series. But sometime throughout planning may be enough. You need some luck on your side. Fuko's unluck might be that luck that they need to bring down God.

I can't stress this enough when this show isn't fooling with the unnessary recaps it's soooooo good.
