Undead Unluck

We find out what happened to the kids and Juiz refer to Victor as Victhor.

Juiz also confirmed to be a woman putting that to bed. Victor being Thor wouldn't even be that far out honestly.

If a new challenge is issued every 3 months and Ragnarok occurs after a hundred, that would make the UU universe... 300 months or about 30 years old.

Unless i'm misunderstanding something

It occurs after a hundred and one failed missions, so who knows how long. They also come in batches. But again, "Victhor" implies that he might've seen at least one Ragnarok already.

Given how penalties work I wouldn't be surprised if their timeline was borked.

Failed batches I think. Even if you fail more then one for the batch, I think it still only counts as one penalty.

I wonder if Andy’s got any more personalities tucked into that ancient head of his.

Yea but the missions occur even when nobody can take it. Also, seats appear to be given solely as a reward. So it doesn't paint a good picture of how many batches they succeed.

So i'd still say the world isn't super old, certainly not billions of years. And it's very likely Victhor is a product of the previous ragnarok. After all, it's about old gods being replaced by new things, and Victhor was already replaced by Andy.

We know that Andy and Gina have lived at least 100 years… but seeing that Apocalypse can apparently retroactively rewrite history, who knows if that has "always" been the case…

Regardless, Fuuko and Andy are becoming one hell of a Battle Couple, I dig that. Fuuko has grown some guts too.

However, Negator seems to be immune from the rule changes itself, as seen from poor Negator(s) that can only speaks Chinese while everyone else in the world speaks English. If Andy (who unfortunately had sealed/lost memories) or Gina was there during the rule change it won't affect them still..... And that's assuming that they didn't/couldn't die from that "Armageddon" catastrophe.

But since Gina had been imprecise with her age, and we can only confirm her as "16 or older" when he met Andy, we can only tell that the last Ragnarok happened over 66 years ago. Tho we can speculate that last Ragnarok "most likely" happened before 1865=155 years ago, a year which probably signified a year of enough importance for Andy enough to tattoo on.

New chapter with an notable tidbit, Negator abilities transfer when they die.

That makes a ton of sense. As it's doubtful Fuuko had Unluck the moment she was born.

I can't imagine what a nightmare that must be to have everyone you know suddenly speak a foreign language…

I don't think he specified whether it transfered to a random person or to a newborn à la Attack on Titan… but yeah, if Fuuko had been Unlucked right from birth, she would have been orphaned very quickly.

What if...she wasn't Unluck when she hugged her parents goodbye, but the previous Unluck was on the plane when it exploded and her thinking she was responsible attracted the Unluck power?

I think it implied a random person. Cause then killing someone to make the ability appear in someone possibly more useful to them would not work. Cause they would have to wait for years for the newborn to grow up.

My guess is that it transfers to an appropriate person. Fuuko had one bout of massive unluck. If Victhor survived The End Of The World, Undeath may be appropriate. So probably randomly chosen among a set of appropriate people.

So Tatiana isn’t wearing this armor by choice, eh… that was a touching chapter. I like that Gina is still part of the story even as a Posthumous Character.

It’s heartwarming that the protags developed a genuine friendship and mutual understanding considering their relationship started with literally having to kill each other. You don’t see that that often in shonen, when you think about it, at least not this early.

I have to wonder though, if Fuuko is Tatiana’s first friend, that means Gina… wasn’t?

Depending on what Tatiana negates Gina could have been the one to bring her in, so it might be closer to Hero Worship than friendship.

Tatiana’s Untouchable is easy to understand even despite it, but “negates the touch of things” is a terrible way to describe it.

Billy's so sweet

Yeah, this was sweet but her power's a tad confusing. Does she just push stuff away or annihilate it?

Push away so hard and fast that everything is smashed into dust, so yes.

Still wanna know what Gatling Guy’s negator power is.

Creed looks to be some sort of materialization or pocket dimension. Maybe just remaking spent stuff like bullets? Unspend? Nah, that doesn't sound right.

Unempty maybe? I dunno.
