Queen Bee Unleashes Theme Songs as Undead Unluck: Winter Arc Drops Explosive Trailer and Key Visual

The highly anticipated one-hour anime special, Undead Unluck: Winter Arc, has officially unveiled its explosive main trailer and a visually stunning key visual. This announcement has generated significant excitement among the global fanbase. Scheduled for a broadcast premiere on December 25, 2025, across MBS, TBS, and their affiliated stations, this special is set to deliver a monumental continuation of the narrative following the successful conclusion of the 24-episode television run in March 2024.

Original Story and Creative Direction

A key element driving anticipation is the confirmation that the entire story for the special is an original tale penned exclusively by the celebrated manga creator, Yoshifumi Tozuka. Mr. Tozuka also undertook the task of designing a brand-new UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal) creature specifically for this high-stakes winter installment, ensuring the narrative remains deeply rooted in the source material while introducing fresh content.

The newly released trailer provides a compelling showcase of intense, high-octane action sequences blended seamlessly with the series' signature emotional depth. Enhancing the auditory experience are the newly revealed theme songs, provided by the acclaimed Japanese rock group, Queen Bee. The band contributes the opening theme, titled "01," which will serve as the anime’s first official opening track, alongside its B-side, "02," slated to be the poignant ending theme. These tracks are expected to significantly amplify the dramatic atmosphere.

Production Staff and Voice Cast

Directing this ambitious project is Sung Hoo Park, renowned for his directorial achievements on blockbuster series such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Ninja Kamui. The production is championed by E&H Production, working in close development cooperation with David Production. Character design duties are handled by Shunichi Ishimoto, who previously held the position of co-chief animation director for the television series.

The returning voice cast includes Yuichi Nakamura reprising his role as the immortal Andy, and Moe Kahara returning as the unfortunate Fuuko Izumo. New additions to the ensemble include Kenshō Ono as Tella, Billy’s subordinate, and Takehito Koyasu, who will voice Balance, an original UMA character tasked with maintaining cosmic equilibrium.

Undead Unluck: Winter Arc promises a unique blend of supernatural adventure and heartfelt drama, meticulously honoring the core spirit of the manga while introducing essential, fresh content for both longtime fans and new viewers. Following its initial broadcast, the special will be immediately available for streaming on Hulu, ensuring global accessibility for all audiences eager to experience the next thrilling chapter in the Undead Unluck saga.
