Undead Unluck: What Is Burn & How Powerful Is It?

Undead Unluck is a manga series written and illustrated by Yoshifumi Tozuka, which has been ongoing since January 20, 2020, and has now been collected in 18 volumes as of the time of writing. The story is a supernatural adventure filled with humor, so you can imagine the series will be filled with ridiculous powers, abilities, and various intriguing characters. One such character, a UMA, will be the topic of this article, as we will present the UMA Burn to you. UMA Burn is a powerful creature, and Billy Alfred uses it to his own advantage in the series. This article will reveal all you need to know about Burn in the series.

UMA Burn is a powerful phenomenon-type UMA

The UMA is the name given to a certain class of monsters in the universe of Undead Unluck. The acronym for Unidentified Mysterious Animals, or UMAs, refers to these strangely shaped, otherworldly creatures. Some regulations that have been enforced on the entire earth are embodied by UMAs. For example, UMA Clothes symbolize clothing, UMA Galaxy can create galaxies, UMA Spol makes things decay, and so forth. In this article, we are going to talk about one important UMA, and that is UMA Burn.

UMA Burn is a phenomenon-type UMA, meaning that it embodies a certain natural phenomenon, in this case – burning. You can, thus, deduce that it has fire-based powers, which is correct. It has a small core that looks like the head of an orc or a troll, but it seemingly has a shell or armor that is made out of dried magma or lava. But it also has a second phase of activation in which it turns into an incredibly large and physically imposing creature whose body is made out of burning lava. This is what makes it so incredibly frightening.

UMA Burn is known for its immense strength and durability, both of which are the result of the fact that it is an incredibly large creature; of course, we cannot forget about the fact that its body is made out of lava, which further increases these parameters. Its other powers include fire manipulation, which is quite logical, knowing that it is a fire-based creature, but also a special ability known as Heat Body, which is tied to its bodily structure and the fact that its body is made out of lava.

It also has a very potent healing factor, which shouldn’t surprise you, knowing what its body is made of. And with this, the introductory part of this article is over, and we can tell you a bit about the narrative importance of UMA Burn.

Its story is related to that of Billy Alfred

As far as Burn’s role in the story is concerned, we know it was pictured for the first time in Chapter 9 and that it made its proper debut in Chapter 31 of the manga. Burn was captured and kept under lock and key by Union, but after the Unbelievable Arc, it became an ally of Billy Alfred’s, which is an important thing to note. We are now going to explain why that is.

Namely, while Billy Alfred seemed to be a member of Union, it soon turned out that he was a traitor in the series and that he was actually the leader of Under. When this was revealed, Billy released UMA Burn and use it as a weapon against Union. Burn revealed that it simply wanted to repay a debt to Billy, and when it later attacked him under the influence of Unjustice, this was confirmed to be true, as this ability revealed Burn’s true motives.

Aside from that fact, UMA Burn did not play a major role, but we can confirm that it is still alive. Aside from repaying its debt, UMA Burn only wants to meet its maker and that is about that as far as its narrative importance is concerned.
