    CLASS A WATERWAY,
    KARASUGAWA, GUNMA PREFECTURE
[00:00] ---
    Kencho, Shizuka,
    have you heard of mindfulness?
[00:05] ---
    Immersing yourself in the present,
[00:07] ---
    and freeing yourself
    from the past and future, right?
[00:11] ---
    We went over it a lot
    in corporate seminars.
[00:13] ---
    That's right.
[00:14] ---
    I aspire to maintain that mindset
    at all times.
[00:20] ---
    Listen, Akira.
[00:22] ---
    I'm going to give it to you straight.
[00:24] ---
    I don't think you need to do this.
[00:26] ---
    You're already there
    with your mindfulness or whatever.
[00:29] ---

[00:32] ---
    Oh man, things are going great!
[00:35] ---
    100 THINGS I WANT TO DO
    BEFORE BECOMING A ZOMBIE
[00:35] ---
    I never expected to achieve
    15 out 100 so soon!
[00:38] ---
    I may be able to complete
    all 100 of them within a month!
[00:42] ---
    I feel like you might get eaten
    by a zombie once you do.
[00:45] ---
    How long until we get
    to your parent's place?
[00:47] ---
    About an hour, I suppose.
[00:48] ---
    That is if nothing happens, right?
[00:51] ---
    Do you know how many days it took for us
    to get here from Tokyo?
[00:54] ---
    We just have to get there
    before the end of summer!
[01:04] ---
    What's going on?
[01:05] ---
    A survivor?
[01:07] ---
    They lost a wheel and can't move!
[01:09] ---
    All right!
[01:10] ---
    It's been a while,
    but it's time for my shark suit!
[01:14] ---
    You're just gonna charge in there?!
[01:16] ---
    Oh, never mind already.
[01:19] ---
    Stop right there, you zombies!
[01:21] ---
    I won't let you do
    whatever you want anymore!

    Danke schön.
[02:15] ---
    I owe you all a debt of gratitude
    for your assistance.
[02:19] ---
    What?
[02:21] ---
    My name is Beatrix Amerhauser.
[02:26] ---
    A foreigner?
[02:28] ---
    A girl?
[02:30] ---
    I don't even know where to begin here.

[02:50] ---
    From the outset, it’s a ban-banging upset!
[02:52] ---
    Metamorphose into a classic life
[02:55] ---
    Once upon a time
    Long, long ago

[02:57] ---
    Humankind merely
    ate, slept, danced, and laughed

[03:00] ---
    Endless suffering and social pressures
    pushing people to their limits

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

[03:05] ---
    Wake up again to a coerced routine
[03:07] ---
    Hamburgers for breakfast, break up
    the status quo with the paranormal

[03:10] ---
    Am I a fool for longing for these things?

[03:16] ---
    Rolling, rolling
    Only one, my life

[03:20] ---
    Sooner or later, life will come to an end
[03:23] ---
    Want more than a sense of futility,
    don’t you?

[03:26] ---
    Dancing, dancing
    Morning, morning

[03:29] ---
    Go back to the basics
    and start something new

[03:34] ---
    Do what you wanna do
[03:37] ---
    Every night, every time
[03:40] ---
    Let’s live until we’ve had our fill of fun

[04:04] ---
    So, Beatrix, you came here from Germany
    because you're a big fan of Japan?
[04:08] ---
    Ja!
[04:09] ---
    Nippon's culture is so wonderful!
[04:12] ---
    Kyoto, Fujiyama, tea ceremony, ikebana...
[04:16] ---
    I love this country
    and I did much studying on all of them!
[04:20] ---
    So that explains the Japanese armor.
[04:22] ---
    That said,
    it's not a bad anti-zombie strategy.
[04:27] ---
    Refrigeration.
[04:29] ---
    Fish?
[04:31] ---
    I have reasons to see this fish delivered.
[04:36] ---
    That is not possible anymore.
[04:39] ---
    Seeing that you are all
    brave samurai, I have a request!
[04:44] ---
    Would you please help me
    deliver this fish to Takasaki?
[04:51] ---
    I suppose we could stop by
    Takasaki City, but...
[04:54] ---
    If she's transporting food to survivors,
    shouldn't we help?
[04:58] ---
    Even so, considering the risks
    of going near a city...
[05:02] ---
    Why do you want
    to transport that fish so badly?
[05:05] ---
    Ever since I was exposed
    to Nippon's culture on TV as a child,
[05:09] ---
    I've dreamed of coming here.
[05:13] ---
    I worked many jobs saving up money,
    but the morning I landed in Narita,
[05:18] ---
    the pandemic was already...
[05:20] ---
    The beautiful Nippon I dreamed of
    was gone.
[05:26] ---
    But after admiring Nippon's culture
    for so many years,
[05:29] ---
    I just had to see it
    and experience it for myself.
[05:33] ---
    And at last, I found it!
[05:35] ---
    The last surviving sushi chef!
[05:39] ---
    Huh?
[05:41] ---
    Sushi?
[05:42] ---
    The taisho of this sushi-ya told me
    that if I could deliver fish to him,
[05:45] ---
    he would let me have
    my fill of delicious sushi!
[05:49] ---
    -She's just in it for sushi?!
    -She's just in it for sushi?!

[05:53] ---
    Beatrix.
[05:56] ---
    It's clear to me that your love of Japan
    and it's culture is pure and true.
[06:01] ---
    Regarding that fish...
[06:02] ---
    7. PIG OUT AT A NICE SUSHI RESTAURANT
[06:03] ---
    We'll deliver it to that sushi place
    in Takasaki even if it costs us our lives!
[06:07] ---
    -He's only in it for the sushi too!
    -He's only in it for the sushi too!

[06:10] ---
    Danke schön!
[06:12] ---
    You are a true samurai!
[06:15] ---
    Now that that's decided,
    let's hurry, you two!
[06:17] ---
    The fish is losing quality
    every second we stand around!
[06:22] ---
    It's time to show her
    the spirit of hospitality!
[06:25] ---
    -Yeah.
    -Yeah.
[06:27] ---
    The sushi-ya is down an alleyway
    past Central Ginza.
[06:32] ---
    A back alley!
[06:33] ---
    I get the feeling
    this place has a long history!
[06:34] ---
    TAKASAKI
    CENTRAL GINZA
[06:35] ---
    I get the feeling
    that it's a famous place!
[06:38] ---
    But the last time I talked to him
    over the phone was over three days ago.
[06:43] ---
    I sure hope the taisho is all right.
[06:48] ---
    Whoa, how many of them are there?
[06:51] ---
    Shall we get going, Beatrix?
[06:54] ---
    Okay, Akira!
[06:56] ---
    Well, it's nice that you're motivated,
    but do you have some sort of plan?
[07:01] ---
    -Nope!
    -Nein!
[07:01] ---
    NOPE
[07:03] ---
    Is charging in head first
    the only thing they can think of?
[07:06] ---
    I might have a plan.
[07:08] ---
    What?
[07:11] ---
    "All under heaven
    is not for one man, but for all men."
[07:14] ---
    UNPARALLELED
[07:15] ---
    If we're going to do this,
    we will all pig out on delicious sushi!
[07:19] ---
    We're doing Three Kingdoms now?
[07:22] ---
    Hey! This way, you zombies!
[07:25] ---
    What do you think of this tasty
    piece of ass?! Get a bite, if you can!
[07:35] ---
    This way!
[07:37] ---
    Come on!
[07:39] ---
    Now, Akira!
[07:43] ---
    Beatrix!
[07:44] ---
    Please leave this to me.
[07:53] ---
    UNPARALLELED
[08:03] ---
    Shizuka!
[08:04] ---
    I've rounded up as many as I could!
[08:07] ---
    Are you ready?
[08:09] ---
    Of course.
[08:10] ---
    It is just as I planned.
[08:11] ---
    All right!
[08:25] ---
    The time has come!
[08:27] ---
    UNPARALLELED
[08:28] ---
    Now! Unleash the flames!
[08:31] ---
    -Okay!
    -Time for a barbecue!
[08:39] ---
    Hey, isn't this a bit too many?
[08:43] ---
    Hurry up and light the fire!
[08:44] ---
    -O-Okay!
    -J-Ja!
[08:46] ---
    Oh, huh?
[08:47] ---
    This match doesn't want to light.
[08:50] ---
    Hurry!
[08:54] ---
    This is bad.
[08:56] ---
    At this rate,
    our RV will be buried in zombies!
[09:01] ---
    No way.
[09:02] ---
    If that happens,
    the fish we transported will be...
[09:05] ---
    We can't fight that many.
[09:08] ---
    It's all over!
[09:10] ---
    Fear...
[09:12] ---
    is just an excuse not to act.
[09:16] ---
    It's not about whether we can or can’t.
[09:18] ---
    It's about whether we have a burning
    desire right here to "want" to do it!
[09:24] ---
    -He just wants to eat sushi.
    -He just wants to eat sushi.

[09:28] ---
    If we can't eat
    at a nice sushi restaurant,
[09:31] ---
    I'd rather become a zombie!
[09:47] ---
    Incoming!
[09:58] ---
    Oshite mairu!
[10:03] ---
    Beatrix!
[10:05] ---
    I'm sorry about
    my shameful behavior earlier.
[10:09] ---
    I will no longer waver.
[10:14] ---
    Let's do this, Akira!
[10:16] ---
    Okay!
[10:48] ---
    A-Akira!
[10:49] ---
    Leave it to me!
[11:00] ---
    Why you...
[11:01] ---
    They just keep coming!
[11:03] ---
    Akira, at this rate...
[11:12] ---
    That's my Walkman!
[11:16] ---
    TOYS
[11:16] ---
    And we'll do this...
[11:21] ---
    What are you going to use it for?
[11:26] ---
    We don't know what'll happen,
    so we should prepare a backup plan.
[11:31] ---
    This is...
[11:35] ---
    The zombies are...
[11:37] ---
    TAKASAKI
    CENTRAL GINZA
[11:37] ---
    They're getting lured away!
[11:43] ---
    I didn't want to do this because
    it would cause more damage,
[11:46] ---
    but I guess I have no choice, do I?
[11:49] ---
    Once again, the time has come.
[11:52] ---
    Release them!
[12:25] ---
    Aww, yeah!
[12:26] ---
    Tonight we're pigging out
    on fancy all-you-can-eat sushi!
[12:33] ---
    DAIGINZUSHI
    SUSHI
[12:34] ---
    Delicious!
[12:37] ---
    What the hell is this?
[12:38] ---
    I don't even have to chew.
    It just melts in my mouth!
[12:41] ---
    The vinegared rice
    gently falls apart in my mouth.
[12:44] ---
    And it's prepared with such care.
    I have no complaints about this sushi.
[12:47] ---
    It's firm and has
    the right amount of sweetness.
[12:50] ---
    I've never eaten anything like this,
    even when entertaining clients in Ginza!
[12:53] ---
    I may have moved back home to Gunma,
[12:56] ---
    but I've been honing my skills
    for about thirty years in Tsukiji!
[13:01] ---
    You came to eat my sushi
    even at the end of the world!
[13:05] ---
    Eat as much as you like today!
[13:07] ---
    Perhaps I'll try the gizzard shad next!
[13:09] ---
    Another bottle of cold sake!
[13:11] ---
    So tasty! It's so tasty
    that I could keep eating this forever!
[13:14] ---
    Nice sushi restaurants are the best!
[13:25] ---
    How is it, Beatrix?
[13:29] ---
    I-It's bitter.
[13:32] ---
    Bittersweet, but delicious.
[13:35] ---
    I'm really happy to be here!
[13:40] ---
    Welcome to Japan!
[13:43] ---
    I can't believe
    you're shedding tears over my sushi.
[13:47] ---
    I worked every day, without any days off,
[13:50] ---
    even on my daughter's wedding day
    and the day my wife died.
[13:53] ---
    I've never felt so honored as a chef.
[13:57] ---
    You guys are probably my last customers!
[13:59] ---
    DAIGINZUSHI
    SUSHI
[14:00] ---
    Tonight, you can drink
    all the sake in the restaurant!
[14:04] ---
    Are you serious, Taisho!
[14:05] ---
    You're so generous!
[14:05] ---
    7. PIG OUT AT A NICE SUSHI RESTAURANT
[14:12] ---
    So, this is one of Nippon's heat waves.
[14:15] ---
    They are not to be underestimated.
[14:17] ---
    We haven't had a proper bath in days now.
[14:21] ---
    Bathing in a river
    just makes us smell swampy.
[14:24] ---
    I just want to bathe in some
    pristine hot water once in a while!
[14:27] ---
    With that said...
[14:28] ---
    We're going to a hot spring!
[14:31] ---
    16. KICK BACK IN A HOT SPRING
[14:32] ---
    -Whoa! Amazing!
    -Whoa! Amazing!
[14:35] ---
    Hot water fields are amazing!
[14:42] ---
    I knew it.
[14:43] ---
    I fear I may fall out
    even with the men's one.
[14:46] ---
    I wish I had your problem.
[14:48] ---
    Uh-huh, you're both looking splendid!
[14:52] ---
    When I worked at that exploitative
    company every hour of the day,
[14:55] ---
    I never dreamed
    of taking a vacation like this!
[14:59] ---
    So, this is a hot spring town!
[15:01] ---
    Most of Europe's cities
    are built around a town square.
[15:06] ---
    But Nippon's hot springs towns
    are a very rare sight.
[15:11] ---
    Since they are developed
    around the gushing hot springs!
[15:15] ---
    I see. As usual,
    you're quite knowledgeable, aren't you?
[15:18] ---
    Kusatsu Hot Spring was always at the top
[15:20] ---
    of the National
    Hot Spring Efficacy Record,
[15:22] ---
    which was published
    during the Edo period to the Meiji period.
[15:24] ---
    She knows more about Japan
    than any Japanese person.
[15:26] ---
    They claimed they could cure
    everything but love sickness
[15:30] ---
    and drew visitors
    from all over the country!
[15:33] ---
    Everything but love sickness, huh?
[15:35] ---
    Then hopping in one
    won't cure my feelings for Bea!
[15:41] ---
    Love, huh?
[15:50] ---
    Normally, this would've been
    a good place to go on a date!
[15:55] ---
    Sorry you're stuck with us.
[15:59] ---
    Dating is a waste of time and resources
    for what amounts to temporary pleasure.
[16:04] ---
    Your 20s are better spent
    acquiring the knowledge and skills
[16:08] ---
    to get promotions and earn more money.
[16:11] ---
    You can think about whether you need
    a partner once you've done that.
[16:15] ---
    That sounds like something
    you would say, Shizuka.
[16:18] ---
    But for me, life would be more fun
    with someone I liked,
[16:22] ---
    and I feel like I would work harder too!
[16:27] ---
    How ridiculous.
[16:30] ---
    You might fall for someone
    who doesn't love you back,
[16:33] ---
    or become the object of affection
    of someone you don't like.
[16:36] ---
    Love is an investment
    with poor cost performance.
[16:39] ---
    An utter waste of time.
[16:44] ---
    LARGE OPEN-AIR BATH
[16:47] ---
    -A large open-air bath! It's huge!
    -A large open-air bath! It's huge!
[16:51] ---
    I'm going first!
[16:53] ---
    H-Hold on!
[16:59] ---
    Weren't you going
    to kick back in a hot spring?
[17:02] ---
    But I guess I can finally
    wash away all the grime!
[17:04] ---
    Let's leave the boys
    and head to the women's bath!
[17:07] ---
    Shizuka, this thing is,
    there's no hot water in the women's bath.
[17:12] ---
    What?
[17:13] ---
    It appears the pump isn't working.
[17:15] ---
    You're joking, right?
[17:17] ---
    So then, the only hot spring
    is this men's bath?
[17:25] ---
    These are extreme circumstances.
[17:27] ---
    Desperate times
    call for desperate measures.
[17:30] ---
    There's no need to be ashamed.
[17:33] ---
    -Come join--
    -Intolerable, obscene, revolting.
[17:35] ---
    Every fiber of my being
    is repulsed by you.
[17:40] ---
    You're wrong about that, Shizuka.
[17:43] ---
    Huh?
[17:43] ---
    Since ancient times,
    this country has had a...
[17:46] ---
    Tradition and practice of...
[17:50] ---
    In other words, let us not be ashamed!
[17:54] ---
    Konyoku bathing is a proud cultural
    and historical practice of Nippon!
[17:58] ---
    -Thank you for loving our culture!
    -Thank you for loving our culture!
[18:13] ---
    There's so many of them!
[18:19] ---
    This means...
[18:20] ---
    we won't be able
    to kick back at a hot spring!
[18:23] ---
    What a disappointment!
[18:24] ---
    I wanted to visit
    all the famous locations!
[18:27] ---
    Just when Bea
    was about to bathe with us too!
[18:32] ---
    Damn it! Damn it all!
[18:37] ---
    I don't think we can
    make it back to the car.
[18:40] ---
    We just have to pray
    that they'll eventually go away.
[18:44] ---
    That aside, what about the hot spring?
[18:46] ---
    I still haven't got to kick back at all!
[18:49] ---
    At least you got to soak in one
    for a little while!
[18:52] ---
    I wanted to wash away my grime, too!
[19:04] ---
    I'm thirsty.
[19:10] ---
    The sound of water?
[19:21] ---
    Amazing.
[19:23] ---
    There's a hot spring
    in the middle of the mountains.
[19:30] ---
    This seriously feels great.
[19:33] ---
    I bet heaven's got nothin' on this!
[19:41] ---
    Sh-Sh-Shizuka?
[19:47] ---
    Sorry!
[19:48] ---
    I seriously didn't know you were there!
    It really was an accident!
[19:52] ---
    I-I get it already.
    Hurry up and get out!
[19:54] ---
    What?
[19:55] ---
    That's not fair!
[19:58] ---
    I wanted to kick back
    in a hot spring this whole time!
[20:02] ---
    If I have to leave without getting
    in a hot spring after coming all the way,
[20:05] ---
    I'd rather be eaten by zombies!
[20:08] ---
    He really only cares about
    soaking in the hot spring?!

[20:13] ---
    I-In that case...
[20:18] ---
    Make sure you stay on the other side
    of the boulder!
[20:21] ---
    Okay!
[20:22] ---
    And if you turn around, you're dead!
[20:24] ---
    Okay!
[20:36] ---
    About earlier...
[20:38] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:39] ---
    Huh?
[20:40] ---
    When I shot down your ideas about love.
[20:45] ---
    My father never approved
    of the way I lived my life.
[20:51] ---
    When your opinions are always ignored,
[20:54] ---
    it makes it difficult
    to accept the opinions of others.
[20:57] ---
    In order to defend your position,
[20:59] ---
    you assert your legitimacy
    by rejecting what others say.
[21:05] ---
    But you're not concerned
    about winning approval.
[21:09] ---
    You just say whatever comes to mind.
[21:13] ---
    So it made me
    a little jealous and frustrated.
[21:16] ---
    And the old me slipped out.
[21:21] ---
    The truth is, I'm just bad at romance.
[21:25] ---
    I'm afraid of getting hurt.
[21:28] ---
    That's why I said
    work was more important,
[21:30] ---
    and I was just trying to act tough.
[21:33] ---
    Shizuka, r-right now...
[21:38] ---
    you're being very open.
[21:44] ---
    If I ever fall in love,
[21:48] ---
    I hope it's with someone
    I can be this open with.
[21:59] ---
    Wait, what I said just now...
    I didn't mean it like that.
[22:02] ---
    Huh? Huh?
[22:04] ---
    So, does that mean...
[22:11] ---
    Whoa!
[22:13] ---
    There's a hot spring
    in the middle of the mountains!
[22:17] ---
    It's a noyu, a naturally occurring spring!
[22:21] ---
    It is said...
[22:21] ---
    IT IS SAID, KUSATSU HOT SPRINGS
    WAS DISCOVERED BY MONKS...
[22:23] ---
    With nothing but efficient days
[22:24] ---
    Since when did you two start hooking up?
[22:25] ---
    Sure that's fine
[22:27] ---
    No, wait, this is...
[22:28] ---
    But it's kind of a waste, right?
[22:28] ---
    It's not what you think!
[22:29] ---
    I wanted to soak in a hot spring, too.
[22:30] ---
    When I think today could be my last
[22:31] ---
    How could you two go off by yourselves?!
[22:33] ---
    I don't wanna be a third wheel but I won't
    forgive you for doing this behind my back!
[22:33] ---
    Steve would start to make a bitter smile;
    Let's start something

[22:37] ---
    Let us soak in there too!
[22:38] ---
    Life & Death
[22:39] ---
    How many times has it been already?
    And yet...

[22:42] ---
    Stay out!
[22:42] ---
    I can't stop; like a junkie
[22:43] ---
    This feels super great!
[22:45] ---
    Hot springs are the best!
[22:46] ---
    16. KICK BACK IN A HOT SPRING
[22:47] ---
    Hot springs are the best!
[22:50] ---
    I guess I have no choice.
[22:54] ---
    C'mon, I want to find happiness
[22:57] ---
    You can leave the key behind
[22:59] ---
    If I can live and laugh,
    that's good enough

[23:02] ---
    C'mon, even a place that has nothing
[23:05] ---
    Has to have something
[23:07] ---
    How about it? All right!
[23:09] ---
    Let's get excited about today!
[23:11] ---
    C'mon, here in this hell, the earth
[23:13] ---
    I want to keep laughing with you
[23:17] ---
    Living on a whim
[23:19] ---
    C'mon, everything is coming undone
[23:21] ---
    So c'mon, let's start anew
[23:25] ---
    All right! Let's enjoy today
[23:28] ---
    We can take detours
[23:30] ---
    If you feel like singing, that's fine
[23:32] ---
    Until the day everything ends
[23:46] ---
    Next time: Treehouse of the Dead.
