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!
**[01:26] ---**

That's so cool!
**[02:13] ---**
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.

**[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] ---**
