Copy !req
4. Andy!
Copy !req
5. No problem.
Copy !req
6. Under will be taking Autumn!
Copy !req
7. I'm betting on the charged unluck!
Get away, Fuko!
Copy !req
8. On it!
Copy !req
9. The future I know...
Copy !req
10. Hello, Anno-sensei?
It's me, Tahioka.
Copy !req
11. I know you prefer to stay silent,
so I'll cut to the point.
Copy !req
12. The first matter is that the manuscripts you
have stored here might have been replaced...
Copy !req
13. The other is that we need you
to judge this month's contest.
Copy !req
14. U-Um...
Copy !req
15. For the first matter, I'll give you a report after
we've done some more investigating.
Copy !req
16. As for the second,
are you available to judge?
Copy !req
17. Um... would it be possible to speak with them?
Copy !req
18. Huh?
Copy !req
19. I can't do such a thing-
Copy !req
20. Huh?
Copy !req
21. Huh?
Copy !req
22. Huh?
Copy !req
23. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
24. Hello, Anno-sensei.
Copy !req
25. Nice to meet you.
My name is Fuko Izumo.
Copy !req
26. Would you mind reading my manga?
I would appreciate it very much if you did.
Copy !req
27. If it's too far for your convenience,
I don't mind coming to you.
Copy !req
28. You're wasting your breath.
Anno-sensei doesn't speak to others.
Copy !req
29. I've never even seen them before!
Copy !req
30. Is it any good?
Copy !req
31. If it's an interesting read,
then I'll meet with you.
Copy !req
32. In five hours,
come to the bench at Stanley Park in Canada.
Copy !req
33. Both of you together.
Copy !req
34. "To You, From Me" is the manga that served
as a crutch for Fuko to live her life.
Copy !req
35. Juiz speaks of how the story drawn within
is a prophecy for this world,
Copy !req
36. and directs Fuko and Andy
to investigate about the author, Anno Un.
Copy !req
37. By Andy's proposal, Fuko ends up having to draw
a manga as a means to contact the author.
Copy !req
38. She is at wit's end as she
has never drawn a manga before,
Copy !req
39. but Andy persuades Fuko that she only has
to think about things that would throb her heart to death.
Copy !req
40. With a fresh start, Fuko starts facing her own emotions.
This was for the mission,
Copy !req
41. but also from a will to become able
to call in bigger strokes of unluck for Andy.
Copy !req
42. With assistance from other members,
Fuko pours her feelings into her manuscript.
Copy !req
43. The completed title is "Undead + Unluck."
Copy !req
44. With that in hand,
the pair heads to a publisher,
Copy !req
45. and succeeds in an exchange of words
with the author Anno Un as planned.
Copy !req
46. And now, Fuko and Andy head over to Canada.
Copy !req
47. That's right.
The exact location where I am now.
Copy !req
48. ANNO UN
Copy !req
49. I'm sure they said both of us, together.
Copy !req
50. I see.
Copy !req
51. I assume they mean the two of us.
In other words, they know about us.
Copy !req
52. Not only that. It takes roughly nine hours
to fly to Canada on a passenger airplane.
Copy !req
53. They got the lowdown that Union tech
can get us there in three hours.
Copy !req
54. They ain't normal any way y'slice it.
Copy !req
55. I wonder if we'll really be able to meet them.
Copy !req
56. Anno Un. Age unknown. Sex unknown.
Copy !req
57. They say no one knows what
they look or even sound like.
Copy !req
58. Twenty years ago,
they submitted the first chapter of You-Me.
Copy !req
59. It was published as a one-time special,
but was so popular it immediately won a serial slot.
Copy !req
60. They only converse with editorial
via silent phone calls and letters, right?
Copy !req
61. For all of these past 20 years.
Copy !req
62. Something's clearly strange 'bout that.
Copy !req
63. Not even the Union's been able to track down
the mysterious masked manga maker.
Copy !req
64. Color me interested!
Copy !req
65. We're gonna nab 'em at all costs!
Copy !req
66. Yeah!
Copy !req
67. It's autumn.
Copy !req
68. DECEMBER 5TH
Copy !req
69. STANLEY PARK, CANADA
Copy !req
70. 5:00 A.M.
(22:00 JAPAN TIME)
Copy !req
71. Not here yet, huh?
Copy !req
72. Want some?
Copy !req
73. Hmm?
Copy !req
74. What is that?
It looks so good!
Copy !req
75. A good ol' Canadian delicacy called poutine.
If you're hungry, help yourself.
Copy !req
76. Okay.
Copy !req
77. It's sho good!
Copy !req
78. Now then... should be any minute now.
Copy !req
79. You know the plan.
If they get hostile with us, it's go time.
Copy !req
80. And by hostile I mean them pullin' out weapons,
or gettin' too close for comfort.
Copy !req
81. So if they do, shoot them?
Copy !req
82. Yeah. Go for the leg first.
Copy !req
83. I don't wanna have it come to that, but...
Copy !req
84. if we're dealing with a Negator or Artifact-wielder,
if we're one step behind, we're dead.
Copy !req
85. They seem to know 'bout us, too.
Copy !req
86. "Undead + Unluck", huh?
Copy !req
87. Yeah! It's got my interest!
Copy !req
88. But the setup needs work.
Copy !req
89. This won't get past the series approval meeting,
you know?
Copy !req
90. They got that close without me noticing 'em?
Copy !req
91. Anno Un, I presume?
Copy !req
92. Yup. That's just my pen name, though.
Copy !req
93. And I know what you two want to know.
Copy !req
94. What's the reason behind Billy's betrayal?
How to defeat the four UMAs?
Copy !req
95. Andy's mysterious past.
And lastly...
Copy !req
96. how to defeat God.
Sound about right?
Copy !req
97. Yeah, I know it all.
But there's a price to pay.
Copy !req
98. Watch out!
Copy !req
99. Spider... UMAs?
Copy !req
100. Autumn spawned those things.
Their Juniors.
Copy !req
101. After all, this is already part
of their territory.
Copy !req
102. The two of you are about to battle Autumn
and learn about yourselves.
Copy !req
103. Once you both come to know each other better...
you'll get several times stronger.
Copy !req
104. Those are all the hints you get.
Grab the reward by your own hands.
Copy !req
105. I'm sure the two of you can do it!
Copy !req
106. Now... let the UMA Autumn arc... begin!
Copy !req
107. Show me the ultimate ending...
Copy !req
108. that I won't see coming!
Copy !req
109. I knew that'd happen.
It's fine, don't worry.
Copy !req
110. Look! Your manuscript is safe and sound!
Copy !req
111. So anyway, anyway! Before you go off
to fight Autumn, let's chat about this here!
Copy !req
112. There's so much stuff I want to praise
and so much stuff to criticize!
Copy !req
113. Composition and characters are pretty good,
but line work and figure drawing is terrible.
Copy !req
114. The art style is too old school...
Copy !req
115. Still a fan?
Copy !req
116. Barely.
Copy !req
117. You'll battle Autumn, learn about yourselves,
and get even stronger!
Copy !req
118. And I want to help you do just that.
Copy !req
119. Spill it.
Copy !req
120. Do you know the future?
Copy !req
121. And if you do, why did you hide it?
What's your goal?
Copy !req
122. - Right. Here's your manuscript back.
- Whoa! When did you-
Copy !req
123. It was a fun read!
Copy !req
124. Oh, but maybe I should hold onto it?
Copy !req
125. Teleportation?
Copy !req
126. A Self-Targeter?
A Voluntary-Type Negator Ability?
Copy !req
127. Could possibly be an artifact, too.
Copy !req
128. What a pain.
Copy !req
129. "Battle with Autumn"?
Do you mean Autumn is here?
Copy !req
130. Yup. Should be any moment now.
Copy !req
131. Someone's there!
Copy !req
132. Hey, wait!
Hold on, Fuko!
Copy !req
133. Neither of you currently stand a chance!
Copy !req
134. If you can't fully utilize your powers,
you can't defeat Autumn!
Copy !req
135. This isn't about winning or losing!
Copy !req
136. Once a UMA transforms a human,
there's no changing back!
Copy !req
137. Teacher!
Copy !req
138. I knew you were still safe, Teacher!
Copy !req
139. Your arm's hurt.
I'll bandage it for you!
Copy !req
140. Huh?
Copy !req
141. T-Thank...
Copy !req
142. No way.
Copy !req
143. I understand.
Copy !req
144. Teacher?
Copy !req
145. What's wrong?
Copy !req
146. Teacher!
Copy !req
147. Teacher!
Copy !req
148. I need to save more people,
even if just one!
Copy !req
149. Oh, my. What a pure and selfless line!
So befitting of our protagonist!
Copy !req
150. I admit, this is the sort of spirit you need
right now to make progress.
Copy !req
151. But, unless you stop for training on occasion...
Copy !req
152. you'll hit walls you won't be able to overcome.
Copy !req
153. Is that...
Copy !req
154. Yup. That's Autumn.
A UMA that feeds on human biography.
Copy !req
155. The guy that just screamed...
Copy !req
156. There they are!
Copy !req
157. Please hel-
Copy !req
158. Oh, no.
Copy !req
159. It turns people into books and reads them?
Copy !req
160. Boring.
Copy !req
161. Give me. Give me.
Give me a story that's truly interesting.
Copy !req
162. Tell me. Tell me.
Tell me a story no one knows.
Copy !req
163. Show me. Show me.
Copy !req
164. Show me a story that's yours alone!
Copy !req
165. Here it comes!
Grab hold, Fuko!
Copy !req
166. On it!
Copy !req
167. Okay, same strategy as with Burn!
Copy !req
168. I charge up on unluck and enter its body...
deal damage and nab the sucker!
Copy !req
169. It locked down its body?
Every hole is closed off!
Copy !req
170. In that case...
Copy !req
171. I just gotta pry it open!
Copy !req
172. That won't work.
You lack ideas.
Copy !req
173. Crimson Bullet!
Copy !req
174. Not even a scratch!
Copy !req
175. Andy!
Copy !req
176. Your leg is turning into books!
Copy !req
177. No problem, I'll just cut it off!
Copy !req
178. I just told you that's not going to work.
Copy !req
179. You both are too caught up in the Rules.
Copy !req
180. You assume things work in a certain way so much,
you ended up establishing more Rules on your own.
Copy !req
181. I know it's in a Negator's nature to do so, but...
Copy !req
182. if you ask me...
Copy !req
183. Why would a Negator bind themselves up by Rules?
Copy !req
184. No matter when, all you need to grow
is proper effort and a flash of inspiration!
Copy !req
185. Volcano Bullet!
Copy !req
186. VOLCANO BULLET
Copy !req
187. What was that?
Did Sensei do that?
Copy !req
188. Hop on!
Copy !req
189. That didn't even faze it!
Retreat, retreat!
Copy !req
190. Phew, that was a close one.
Boy, it sure feels like an adventure!
Copy !req
191. Hey. That arm of yours comin' back?
Copy !req
192. Nope. Not at all.
I can only materialize one drawing at a time, after all.
Copy !req
193. Why would you do this?
Copy !req
194. Because neither of you would've listened otherwise.
Copy !req
195. Besides, I'm fine.
I don't need my left hand to draw manga!
Copy !req
196. Anyway, now that you two are indebted to me,
let's kick off your training arc!
Copy !req
197. Oopsie! Forgot I don't have my left hand!
Copy !req
198. Welcome to my humble abode.
It's pretty beat-up, but it's nice and quiet.
Copy !req
199. Let's head inside and chat.
Copy !req
200. And this is my work room!
Copy !req
201. Oh, right! A report!
A report to your boss... about me and Autumn.
Copy !req
202. They made an Emblem.
Copy !req
203. So... can I train these two for the sake
of capturing Autumn, and for my sake, Juiz?
Copy !req
204. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
205. Wha?
Copy !req
206. Anno Un, I take it?
I still don't trust you.
Copy !req
207. What we want is information about the future.
Not some chaos-inducing coach.
Copy !req
208. My strategy guide only lists the bad ending.
Copy !req
209. Besides, these two were virtually powerless against Autumn.
Copy !req
210. I'm sure you have an inkling already?
That unless you take a gamble, there is no future.
Copy !req
211. These members can make it happen.
Which is why I'm proceeding with caution.
Copy !req
212. That's backwards. If you have a good hand,
you should go all-in.
Copy !req
213. What's there to fear when you have a Royal Straight Flush?
Copy !req
214. I'd hate for you to waste a cast this good on a trite ending.
Copy !req
215. And I'm sure you feel the same way, Juiz?
Copy !req
216. Excuse me.
Copy !req
217. Hm?
Copy !req
218. - Ms. Juiz, I trust Sensei!
- Why are you screaming into my Emblem?
Copy !req
219. - You've got one of your own!
- Oh, right! I almost forgot!
Copy !req
220. - Gah! Now I can't hear out of my left ear!
- I'm sorry!
Copy !req
221. Well... Sensei risked their life to save us!
Copy !req
222. I think it's safe to trust such an action!
Copy !req
223. And I'm askin' ya, too!
Copy !req
224. This person claims to know about my past.
Copy !req
225. And there goes my right ear!
Copy !req
226. The power gap between me and Victor
has always bugged me.
Copy !req
227. I think the key to closing that gap
is in my past that even I'm unaware of.
Copy !req
228. I don't know what their training entails.
But if it gets me closer to that key, I wanna try it.
Copy !req
229. It's so hot.
Copy !req
230. All right.
Then promise me.
Copy !req
231. That you'll come back safe...
Copy !req
232. and capture Autumn.
Copy !req
233. Okay, that means...
Copy !req
234. The deal is sealed!
Copy !req
235. Is that Autumn's claw?
Copy !req
236. Autumn turns people into books.
Copy !req
237. Which means... with this,
you and Fuko here can contact your past.
Copy !req
238. It's just like you figured!
The key to powering up is in your past, Andy!
Copy !req
239. Any objections?
Copy !req
240. Nope. Hurry up and hit me.
Copy !req
241. Aah... Andy is...
Copy !req
242. turning into books?
Copy !req
243. Wha-
Copy !req
244. Oh...
Copy !req
245. TO BE CONTINUED
Copy !req
246. PREVIEW
Copy !req
247. The life of the man who can't die
takes shape before the unlucky girl.
Copy !req
248. That is where the man's "death" lies,
and the girl must know what that is.
Copy !req
249. Next episode of Undead Unluck,
Episode 21-Memento Mori.
Copy !req
250. In search of the greatest death ever.
Copy !req
