[00:01] ---
    Wow.
[00:02] ---
    I think it's coming together!
[00:05] ---
    Akira, since your hair is short,
[00:07] ---
    we'll start by adding extensions
    for volume,
SIGN    100 THINGS I WANT TO DO BEFORE BECOMING A ZOMBIE
    -and sew them into your natural hair
    with an extension hook.
[00:14] ---
    Finally, we'll secure them by weaving in
    any loose strands, and you're done!
[00:24] ---
    Starting today, I'm...
[00:27] ---
    Farmer Dreadlocks!
[00:29] ---
    Yay!

    Dystopia to the Song of the Dead!!
[00:49] ---
    From the outset, it's a ban-banging upset!
[00:52] ---
    Metamorphose into a classic life
[00:54] ---
    Once upon a time
    Long, long ago

[00:57] ---
    Humankind merely
    ate, slept, danced, and laughed

[01:00] ---
    Endless suffering and social pressures
    pushing people to their limits

[01:03] ---
    Are portrayed as part of the norm
    on the morning news

[01:05] ---
    Wake up again to a coerced routine
[01:07] ---
    Hamburgers for breakfast, break up
    the status quo with the paranormal

[01:10] ---
    Am I a fool for longing for these things?
[01:12] ---
    Song of the Dead!!
[01:14] ---
    I wanna!!
    Dancing, dancing

[01:16] ---
    Rolling, rolling
    Only one, my life

[01:20] ---
    Sooner or later, life will come to an end
[01:23] ---
    Want more than a sense of futility,
    don't you?

[01:26] ---
    Dancing, dancing
    Morning, morning

[01:29] ---
    Go back to the basics
    and start something new

[01:34] ---
    Do what you wanna do
[01:37] ---
    Every night, every time
[01:40] ---
    Let's live until we've had our fill of fun

[02:03] ---
    I see. So you worked at a specialty salon
    for over ten years?
[02:07] ---
    Yes, I was totally devoted to dreadlocks.
[02:09] ---
    So when I heard that Akira wanted
    dreadlocks, I just had to help him out.
[02:14] ---
    I taught at a college in Tokyo.
[02:16] ---
    I was a makeup artist for movies.
[02:20] ---
    Wow, movies?
    What did you work on?
[02:23] ---
    Let's see...
[02:25] ---
    I did this one. Do you know it?
[02:27] ---
    Oh! I've seen this one!
[02:29] ---
    So, it was made in Japan, huh?
[02:31] ---
    That's right!
[02:33] ---
    We were just filming the sequel and...
[02:40] ---
    We were filming, until the day
    the pandemic started...
[02:46] ---
    You'd never expect to be attacked by real
    zombies while filming a zombie movie.
[02:54] ---
    We took too long to notice.
[02:57] ---
    And so...
[02:59] ---
    Mr. Nakayama, you're so convincing!
[03:19] ---
    So much happened along the way here.
[03:25] ---
    But...
[03:27] ---
    Everyone in the village
    welcomed us with open arms.
[03:32] ---
    I can't thank them enough
    for their kindness.
[03:37] ---
    Even though it's just
    wishful thinking for now,
[03:41] ---
    I'd like to continue living
    in this village.
[03:46] ---
    That's how I truly feel.
[03:53] ---
    You're right!
[04:05] ---
    Thanks.
[04:07] ---
    It must be tough doing work
    you're unaccustomed to.
[04:10] ---
    Not at all.
[04:11] ---
    The key to keeping
    this village safe from zombies
[04:13] ---
    might come from using skills
    from a time without electricity.
[04:18] ---
    I'm very interested
    in how people live here.
[04:24] ---
    Well, I don't really get it, but nothing
    beats rice cooked on a hearth!
[04:29] ---
    Add plenty of water and place it
    on a strong fire for the perfect rice!
[04:34] ---
    I see.
[04:36] ---
    I guess all that extra effort
    makes it taste even better.
[04:39] ---
    Very interes--
[04:41] ---
    -Akemi!
    -No!
[04:44] ---
    Cut it out, Old Man Hiko!
[04:47] ---
    You left me all alone!
    Where have you been all this time?
[04:51] ---
    Sorry about that.
[04:53] ---
    He's been that way ever since
    his old lady passed away.
[04:57] ---
    I-I see.
[04:59] ---
    Akemi! Is dinner ready yet?
[05:02] ---
    He may not look it, but he used to be
    the best hunter in this village.
[05:05] ---
    Hey, Tome.
[05:07] ---
    Ya got any rope or something
    you can spare?
[05:10] ---
    I was haying and sliced myself
    with the scythe.
[05:14] ---
    How terrible!
    I'll get you some right away.
[05:17] ---
    Um, try not to bind it too tightly
    or you'll risk necrosis of the tissue.
[05:23] ---
    First, raise the injury above your heart
    and after applying pressure to the area,
[05:27] ---
    then try applying pressure to the artery.
[05:30] ---
    You seem to know a lot about this.
    Are you a doctor?
[05:34] ---
    Huh? Oh, no.
[05:35] ---
    When I was little, I was interested
    in medicine, so I did some reading on it.
[05:39] ---
    What's this? A doctor?
[05:42] ---
    My back has been feeling worse
    than usual since this morning.
[05:45] ---
    Like I said--
[05:47] ---
    What a young and beautiful doctor!
[05:49] ---
    I stumbled and hurt my knee.
[05:52] ---
    My stomach isn't feeling good.
[05:53] ---
    -I can't control my bladder.
    -Um...
[05:55] ---
    -I'm constipated.
    -Well...
[05:56] ---
    Akemi!
[05:58] ---
    No!
[06:00] ---
    Heard she's a doctor.
[06:01] ---
    How wonderful.
[06:04] ---
    Is that what I think it is?
[06:06] ---
    Is this a cesspit?
[06:08] ---
    You don't see them being used much
    nowadays,
[06:11] ---
    but we're grateful we have a
    source for natural fertilizer.
[06:14] ---
    Fertilizer?
[06:16] ---
    In Japan, the rain washes away
    a lot of the minerals from our fields.
[06:20] ---
    But if we recycle the food that we eat
    by returning it to the soil,
[06:24] ---
    we can replenish those minerals.
[06:27] ---
    I see.
[06:28] ---
    They say a dive in the cesspit
    will get you ahead in life.
[06:33] ---
    Want to give it a try, young 'un?
[06:38] ---
    Who is that girl?
[06:39] ---
    Oh.
[06:40] ---
    She escaped from the city.
[06:43] ---
    She lost her parents and that dog
    is the only family she has left.
[06:50] ---
    I haven't seen her smile once
    since she got here.
[06:54] ---
    She's so young, too.
[06:58] ---
    Hey there, beautiful lady.
[07:02] ---
    I'm trying to become a comedian,
    so I was practicing my juggling.
[07:05] ---
    Would you care to watch?
[07:11] ---
    Why are you using daruma?
[07:13] ---
    Why? Because Gunma is known
    for their daruma.
[07:16] ---
    Once I've perfected this,
    I want to perform it naked.
[07:19] ---
    I'll be juggling so fast you won't see
    my crotch, so don't worry!
[07:25] ---
    Are you into little girls or something?
[07:28] ---
    Why are you even talking to me?
[07:32] ---
    It's common courtesy
    to say hello to a lady
[07:34] ---
    whether they're a girl or an old woman.
[07:38] ---
    Courtesy?
[07:39] ---
    That's right!
[07:40] ---
    In Italy, women never forget to smile,
[07:43] ---
    and it's considered rude
    if you don't compliment that.
[07:51] ---
    You're so weird Mister.
    You're not even Italian.
[07:56] ---
    Looks like I finally got you to smile.
[08:00] ---
    I'm Kencho!
[08:02] ---
    What's your name, beautiful lady?
[08:05] ---
    Anju.
[08:06] ---
    And this is Charo.
[08:09] ---
    Then I'll call you Angie!
[08:15] ---
    Hey, could you watch me practice
    my other acts?
[08:18] ---
    There's one where I eat udon with my butt!
[08:20] ---
    -I'll pass.
    -What?
[08:23] ---
    Wunderbar!
[08:24] ---
    What a magnificent water wheel!
[08:26] ---
    It's one of those hydroelectric ones.
[08:29] ---
    It produces the minimum amount
    of electricity we need.
[08:33] ---
    Renewable energy.
[08:35] ---
    It's perfect for Nippon
    with its abundant sources of water!
[08:38] ---
    Zombie bears and zombie boars
    have been showing up in this area,
[08:43] ---
    so we've fortified our electrical fence
    to keep them out.
[08:46] ---
    That's also powered by this.
[08:48] ---
    I see.
SIGN    CAUTION: ZOMBIE BEARS -That said, this only gives you a small shock if you touch it.
[08:55] ---
    Oh, by the way...
[08:57] ---
    Bea, make sure you don't touch this.
[08:58] ---
    DO NOT TOUCH
    -Bea, make sure you don't touch this.
[09:01] ---
    DO NOT TOUCH
    -What is it?
[09:02] ---
    DO NOT TOUCH
    -It's an earth-leakage circuit breaker.
[09:04] ---
    It shuts off the power
    if there's an electric leakage
[09:08] ---
    from the voltage
    being cranked up too high.
[09:11] ---
    It's dangerous, so you mustn't touch it.
[09:14] ---
    Ja! Understood!
[09:17] ---
    Since living in this village, I've started
    thinking about the connections between people.
[09:24] ---
    Doing anything here takes time.
[09:27] ---
    You can't survive
    unless you help one another.
[09:30] ---
    Because things aren't convenient,
    it helps connect people.
[09:35] ---
    Here, you can see the work
    that needs to be done,
[09:38] ---
    and you see the people who do it.
[09:40] ---
    Unlike the city, things are limited here.
[09:45] ---
    But because it's limited, I feel
    like I can truly feel happiness.
[09:50] ---
    That's kinda what it feels like!
[09:58] ---
    Hey, Akira!
[10:01] ---
    Good job!
[10:02] ---
    Kencho!
[10:03] ---
    You've been working the fields all day?
[10:05] ---
    Yeah. What about you?
[10:06] ---
    I slaughtered a chicken!
[10:08] ---
    I may never eat chicken anymore
    because of the trauma!
[10:11] ---
    I know, right?
[10:13] ---
    Huh? Isn't that guy...
[10:16] ---
    Higurashi?
[10:19] ---
    Hey, Higurashi!
[10:21] ---
    You're still alive too, huh?
    It's me! Ryuzaki!
[10:25] ---
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
[10:33] ---
    Huh? He left.
[10:35] ---
    Who's Higurashi?
[10:36] ---
    Don't you remember?
[10:37] ---
    He was in our general education
    classes at K University.
[10:41] ---
    He stopped showing up
    around six months in.
[10:43] ---
    Heard a rumor he became a NEET.
[10:47] ---
    Didn't expect to run into him here.
[10:54] ---
    Of all the damn people to run into...
[11:00] ---
    Damn it.
[11:03] ---
    It's been a while
    since I've seen their annoying faces!
[11:07] ---
    They always looked like
    they're having so much fun by themselves.
[11:15] ---
    Perfect.
[11:17] ---
    This is perfect.
[11:27] ---
    H-Hey, Dad!
[11:29] ---
    Y-You wanna...
[11:32] ---
    have a drink together?
[11:34] ---
    Oh, sure. Don't see why not.
[11:39] ---
    What better way to give back to your dad
    than sharing a drink together!

[11:45] ---
    Hold on.
[11:47] ---
    Have Dad's hands always been so thin?
[11:51] ---
    Looking closely, he's gotten more grey.
[11:55] ---
    After not seeing him for a while,
    it seems like he got smaller too.

[12:05] ---
    Hey, Dad.
[12:08] ---
    What is it?
[12:09] ---
    After coming back to the village,
    I've been thinking...
[12:13] ---
    When I was a kid, I idolized the big city,
    but living here is not that bad.
[12:20] ---
    Besides, it must be tough
    working that big field all by yourself.
[12:24] ---
    I'm sure Mom could use the extra help too.
[12:28] ---
    So I...
[12:31] ---
    What's the point in staying cooped up
    in this small village?
[12:35] ---
    Huh?
[12:37] ---
    A man...
[12:38] ---
    follows his dream, biggest one he can.
[12:43] ---
    What the hell?
[12:45] ---
    I was trying to repay you both.
[12:48] ---
    You talk big,
    but you're just a country...farmer.
[13:01] ---
    What was your dream as a kid?
[13:09] ---
    Akira.
[13:11] ---
    Have you ever wanted to see Earth
    from the far reaches of space?
[13:16] ---
    Space?
[13:18] ---
    Apparently, seeing our planet from
    outer space is so shocking to people.
[13:26] ---
    Once you leave school and become an adult,
    you realize how small your world was.
[13:32] ---
    Same as how you left
    the village for Tokyo,
[13:34] ---
    it made you realize
    how small your world was.
[13:39] ---
    When you look at the world from space,
[13:40] ---
    you don't see the red line of the equator,
    nor the borders that divide countries.
[13:45] ---
    Apparently you're so moved when you see
    how tiny your existence is
[13:49] ---
    on a tiny planet,
    in the vastness of space.
[13:53] ---
    To tell you the truth,
[13:56] ---
    ever since I was a kid,
    I've wanted to be an astronaut!
[14:03] ---
    What?
[14:04] ---
    Well, I'm just too dumb, so there's
    no way that'll happen at this point!
[14:15] ---
    What the hell?
[14:17] ---
    I had no idea you were such a joker!
[14:23] ---
    Yeah.
[14:25] ---
    If you compare 13.8 billion years
    in the history of space,
[14:28] ---
    eighty years of life
    isn't even a tenth of a second.
[14:32] ---
    So, don't sell yourself short.
[14:36] ---
    Find your dream, Akira.
    Biggest one ya can.
[14:41] ---
    Dreams keep a man solid.
[14:48] ---
    By the way Akira, not that it matters, but
    that hair doesn't look good on you at all!
[14:55] ---
    Sh-Shut up!
[14:58] ---
    I wanted them!

SIGN    38. TURN EVERYONE I HATE INTO ZOMBIES -Just you wait, Akira.
[16:13] ---
    Hey, how many times
    do I have to remind you?
[16:15] ---
    That's not a bathroom...
[16:19] ---
    Huh? What is it?
[16:21] ---
    O-Over there...
[16:33] ---
    What's the matter, Shizuka?
[16:39] ---
    Dad.
[16:40] ---
    Yeah.
[16:47] ---
    What the hell is going on here?
[17:02] ---
    Akira!
[17:04] ---
    Leave your mother to me
    and go to your friends.
[17:06] ---
    What? Dad?!
[17:09] ---
    Your friends have supported you
    all the way here, right?
[17:12] ---
    Keep them safe.
[17:24] ---
    They're running so fast!
    This is so hilarious!
[17:26] ---
    Get the sick inside first!
[17:28] ---
    Lock the door and barricade it
    the best you can!

    Are you all right, Shizuka?

    Y-Yes.

    It's no good!
    There're too many of them!
[17:56] ---
    Let's fall back for now!
[17:57] ---
    This way!
[17:58] ---
    What's this? Going home already?
[18:01] ---
    The night is still young, you know.
[18:04] ---
    Let's play outside a little longer.

[18:19] ---
    This is so horrible.
[18:22] ---
    I have to do something.
[18:24] ---
    If this keeps up,
    the village will be destroyed.
SIGN    SLASH
[18:38] ---
    Thanks for the save, Bea!
[18:40] ---
    DON'T MENTION IT!
    -Keine Ursache.
[18:43] ---
    -Kencho!
    -Beatrix!
[18:46] ---
    Thank goodness! You're all okay!
[18:48] ---
    We'll talk later!
[18:50] ---
    Right now, our priority is to get
    everyone in the village out of here!
[18:52] ---
    Get everyone to the suspension bridge!
[18:54] ---
    But there's an electric fence
    around the village.
[18:56] ---
    It's just meant to deter zombie boars,
    so the voltage shouldn't be dangerous!
[19:01] ---
    R-Really?
[19:04] ---
    H-He's getting shocked pretty badly!
[19:08] ---
    To save someone from electrocution,
[19:10] ---
    we need a non-conductive material
    like wood,
[19:13] ---
    and use that to knock them away!
[19:15] ---
    I knew you could do it, Shizuka!
[19:17] ---
    That was a close one.
[19:19] ---
    But why is the voltage so high?
[19:23] ---
    Could it be?
[19:24] ---
    Did someone increase the voltage
[19:26] ---
    and disable
    the earth-leakage circuit breaker?
[19:29] ---
    Hold on a second!
[19:30] ---
    So then the same electric fence
    that protects the village
[19:33] ---
    from zombies is trapping us in?
[19:38] ---
    Hey!
[19:41] ---
    Akira! Ryuzaki!
[19:45] ---
    As expected, you guys sure are persistent!
[19:49] ---
    Higurashi?
[19:52] ---
    Hey! There are zombies behind you!
[19:55] ---
    Hey, they're coming!
[19:58] ---
    That guy is an idiot.
[19:59] ---
    I can't believe
    he still hasn't figured it out.
[20:04] ---
    No way.
[20:06] ---
    You guys did this?
[20:12] ---
    That's correct!
[20:15] ---
    Why in the world would you do this?
[20:21] ---
    Well, we're all
    gonna be zombies one day.
[20:25] ---
    It would be a shame if I didn't get to do
    whatever I wanted before then, right?

    100 THINGS WE WANT TO DO BEFORE BECOMING ZOMBIES
    It would be a shame if I didn't get to do

    -What a coincidence!

    37. F*CK UP SOCIETY
    -What should I do next?
SIGN    38. TURN EVERYONE I HATE INTO ZOMBIES -What should I do next?
[20:45] ---
    38. TURN EVERYONE I HATE INTO ZOMBIES
    -Yeah, gotta be this one.
[20:47] ---
    Akira, I'd love to see you become
    a zombie with my own eyes.
[20:54] ---
    Screw you!
    What did Akira do to you anyway?
[20:57] ---
    I've hated you
    since the moment we met in college.
[21:04] ---
    You didn't have a care in the world.
[21:06] ---
    Enjoying life, each and every day!
[21:10] ---
    I couldn't help but be disgusted.
[21:14] ---
    That's your reason?
[21:15] ---
    This is our last summer break ever!
[21:19] ---
    What's wrong with enjoying it
    like you guys?
[21:23] ---
    You bastard...
[21:24] ---
    You only live once.
[21:26] ---
    So enjoy life the way you want to.
[21:30] ---
    I get it because I'm doing that, too.
[21:34] ---
    Akira? What are you say--
[21:36] ---
    But...
[21:38] ---
    If you're gonna put your freedom first,
    you need to respect others' freedoms too.
[21:43] ---
    Stealing freedom from the people of
    the village who are struggling to survive.
[21:47] ---
    That's what you want to do?
[21:50] ---
    I seriously don't understand
    what you're saying.
[21:56] ---
    My bucket list and yours
    are nothing alike!
[21:56] ---
    100 THINGS I WANT TO DO BEFORE BECOMING A ZOMBIE
    My bucket list and yours
    are nothing alike!
[21:57] ---
    My bucket list and yours
    are nothing alike!
[22:00] ---
    I still haven't repaid my parents
    for raising me.
[22:07] ---
    If I have to live with the regret
    of not giving back to my parents,
[22:12] ---
    I'd rather be eaten by zombies!
[22:13] ---
    38. GIVE BACK TO MY PARENTS
    I'd rather be eaten by zombies!
[22:14] ---
    Nice.
[22:16] ---
    That's what I want to hear!
SIGN    38. TURN EVERYONE I HATE INTO ZOMBIES -It'll be a competition between you and me
[22:20] ---
    to see who finishes
    their list first.
[22:27] ---
    Akira! We're going to be
    surrounded by zombies at this rate!
[22:30] ---
    This is frustrating,
    but we need to retreat!
[22:32] ---
    We need to evacuate
    everyone in the village!
[22:35] ---
    Charo?
[22:36] ---
    I'm going to the water wheel shed!
[22:38] ---
    I'll shut down the generator
    powering the electrical fence!
[22:41] ---
    Then I'm going to give
    back to my parents!
[22:43] ---
    You goal seems to be different
    from everyone else, but whatever.
[22:47] ---
    We need to get everyone else!
[22:49] ---
    Once the electrical fence is shut off,
    let's meet at the suspension bridge!
[22:52] ---
    Okay!
[22:53] ---
    Angie! Don't leave my side, okay?
[22:55] ---
    Huh? Angie!
[22:58] ---
    Kencho! Over there!
[23:00] ---
    What is she doing over there?
[23:02] ---
    Leave her to me!
[23:04] ---
    You go to your mom!
[23:06] ---
    But...
[23:09] ---
    We're definitely
    going to make it out of this alive!
[23:15] ---
    Yeah!
[23:18] ---
    Is she going to
    stop the water wheel?
[23:20] ---
    Not on my watch!
[23:24] ---
    Go have fun, however you want.
[23:28] ---
    Let's drag out the villagers
    hiding in their homes
[23:31] ---
    and turn every last one of them
    into zombie food.
[23:35] ---
    A game of tag and then hide-and-seek...
[23:38] ---
    I'd say it's a pretty good start
    to summer break!
[23:45] ---
    Next Time: Hometown of the Dead II.
