Andy's Undead abilities surpass mere resurrection or eternal life; he can employ them for transportation, utilize his body as a weapon through techniques like swift draws, and even launch his attached limbs skyward offensively.
The episode poses the question of how Unluck can be similarly utilized. The answer reveals that it is currently a work in progress. Presently, Fuuko lacks control over the extent and magnitude of Unluck's occurrences. In order to begin mastering it, Andy must assist her in discerning how and when it can be employed.
Andy's past unveiled
In episode 3 of Undead Unluck, Andy conducts an intriguing experiment involving Unluck. He demonstrates its ability to forcefully extract objects that hold significant value to Fuuko based on her personal values. To validate this hypothesis, Andy ensures her safety from drowning by utilizing Unluck's power, causing the explosion of their boat's engine through CPR. This successful implementation not only saves Fuuko but also allows them to procure a fighter jet for their transportation to Russia amidst ongoing attacks.Undead Unluck episode 3 showcases the sword, the engineer, and Gina. In these three episodes, the audience witnesses the protagonists' initial encounter and now gains insight into Andy's past. Through various revelations, the episode sheds light on the extensive history shared by Andy and the Union.Andy's 50-year history of captivity is further revealed in the first revelation. During his time in captivity, he not only acquired the Unbreakable katana by overpowering an individual, but he was also subjected to experiments conducted by another person. Furthermore, he was kidnapped by a particularly powerful woman who had the ability to create invisible barriers. In fact, she used this power to kidnap Andy by placing an invisible barrier around his decapitated head.
In a flashback, a girl with pink hair, dressed in a schoolgirl uniform, and sporting a massive black beret is introduced. This same girl is seen in a flashback from 1970, where Andy writes a birthday message for her using his own blood while he is confined in his cell. It is later revealed in the episode that her name is Gina.
She appears in space, on a satellite, menacing the two in the first half of the episode and later in the second half as a friend to Fuuko.
The girl named Gina
In Undead Unluck episode 3, Gina, a member of the Union and an enthusiast of art, is featured.Following an unsuccessful five-point landing as their fighter jet self-destructs over Russia, Andy and Fuuko decide to take different paths. Andy embarks on a mission to seek assistance from old war comrades, while Fuuko enjoys some leisure time at Lake Baikal, engaging in social activities.
Fukko's attempts to relax are hindered by her anxieties and the language barrier. However, she unexpectedly encounters a pink-haired girl adorned in a Japanese schoolgirl uniform, who shares her passion for painting. The two quickly form a deep connection and engage in a conversation revolving around the existential dilemma of whether stagnation or change is more advantageous. Expressing her viewpoint, the pink-haired girl asserts her belief in the preservation of art, as it allows one to immortalize and preserve the essence of beauty.
As the day transitions into night, Fuuko finally responds to the question, expressing her belief that change is ultimately beneficial. She attributes this understanding to Andy, who has gradually helped her break out of her introverted nature, despite her initial reluctance.
However, Fuuko's moment of reflection is abruptly interrupted by Gina's sudden appearance. Gina astonishingly lifts a whole section of the lake, conjures her enormous beret, and gracefully descends down a staircase made of water. She addresses them with affectionate names like "Deady Dearest" and "Lil Lucky," while sporting a mischievous smirk, as if signaling the beginning of an intense battle.

Gina, the one who had previously captured Andy 50 years ago, appears to have defied the effects of time, as she looks just as youthful as she did back then.
