**[01:11] Sakura**
I'm going now—
**[04:48] Sakura**
What do I do? What do I do?!
**[05:36] Sakura**
I made it...
**[05:38] Sakura**
I think I made it out.

**[05:44] Sakura**
Saga...?
**[05:48] Sakura**
Am I in Saga?
**[05:49] Cop**
Hey, sweetheart, you can't be out this late!
***SIGN*** Saga Police
**[05:53] Cop**
What's the matter?
**[05:55] Cop**
You looking to get arrested?
**[05:56] Cop**
'Cuz I'll arrest you!
**[05:58] Cop**
Personally, I want to go home.
I'm soaked down to my underwear!
**[06:02] Sakura**
Officer, please, help!
**[06:14] Sakura**
Wha... you...
**[06:17] Sakura**
Are you oka—
**[06:18] Cop**
Stay back!
**[06:20] Cop**
What the hell are you?!
**[06:22] Sakura**
Wha?
**[07:03] Cop**
A zombie?
**[07:32] Sakura**
What just happened?
**[07:42] Sakura**
What the hell?
**[07:44] Sakura**
Why am I—
**[07:47] Sakura**
I can't remember!
**[07:48] Sakura**
Not a thing!
**[07:50] Sakura**
What am I?!
**[07:51] Kotaro**
You're Sakura Minamoto.
**[07:56] Sakura**
The guy from before...
**[07:57] Kotaro**
You died ten years ago.
**[08:01] Sakura**
Say what?
**[08:02] Kotaro**
But you're back again now, as a zombie.
**[08:05] Sakura**
Dead?
**[08:06] Sakura**
Zombie?
**[08:07] Kotaro**
And from now on, as Zombie 1,
you will work with your team to save Saga!
**[08:15] Sakura**
Um... I'm sorry. I have
no idea what you're saying.
**[08:20] Kotaro**
You'll figure it out soon,
whether you want to or not.
**[08:22] Kotaro**
Listen to me.
**[08:23] Kotaro**
From now on, you need to do what I tell you.
**[08:26] Kotaro**
If you do, there'll be no problem.
**[08:31] Sakura**
*Why?*
**[08:32] Kotaro**
My name is Kotaro Tatsumi.
**[08:34] Sakura**
*It's the strangest thing... He's...*
**[08:38] Kotaro**
I'm the man who will make you into an idol!
**[08:42] Sakura**
*Why does he...*
**[08:44] Sakura**
*...have squid in his pocket?*

**[09:14] Kotaro**
Okay, ladies, good morning!
**[09:26] Kotaro**
I said good morning!
**[09:29] Sakura**
Good... mor... ning?
**[09:33] Kotaro**
You need to mind your manners.
**[09:34] Kotaro**
You can't get any respect without them.
**[09:37] Kotaro**
Look at the others.
**[09:38] Kotaro**
No one's acknowledging you.
**[09:42] Kotaro**
Hey there, Romero.
**[09:43] Kotaro**
Good job wrangling the girls again today.
***SIGN*** Let's not feed dried squid to dogs
**[09:52] Kotaro**
And so, here we are...
**[09:54] Kotaro**
Let's work hard to make you into the
greatest idols, starting today!
**[10:01] Sakura**
E-Excuse me...
**[10:02] Kotaro**
Go ahead!
**[10:03] Kotaro**
And might I say, Sakura,
you're looking pretty healthy today.
**[10:05] Sakura**
I just... want to confirm something...
**[10:08] Kotaro**
Bring it on. Hit me.
**[10:10] Sakura**
I'm... dead, right?
**[10:13] Kotaro**
Sure are. You're Zombie 1, that's you.
**[10:15] Sakura**
I'm wondering... how I became a zombie...
**[10:18] Kotaro**
Come on.
**[10:19] Kotaro**
Haven't you seen a zombie movie before?
**[10:22] Sakura**
I have, for the record.
**[10:23] Kotaro**
Well, there you go then.
**[10:30] Sakura**
That's it?
**[10:32] Kotaro**
Does there have to be more to it?!
**[10:34] Kotaro**
A little bit of this, a little bit of that,
and bang, you're out of the grave, right?!
**[10:37] Kotaro**
Isn't that all you really need for zombies?!
**[10:42] Kotaro**
Is that all you wanted to ask?
**[10:45] Sakura**
No, well, I also...
**[10:47] Sakura**
Why am I going to be an idol?
**[10:49] Kotaro**
To save Saga.
**[10:51] Sakura**
By being an idol?
**[10:52] Kotaro**
That's right.
**[10:54] Kotaro**
In this day and age, regional idols
are becoming a thing of the past.
**[10:59] Kotaro**
But because of that,
the competition has died out as well.
**[11:01] Kotaro**
You're all going to capitalize
on that and save Saga,
**[11:04] Kotaro**
which is itself on the verge
of becoming a thing of the past.
**[11:08] Kotaro**
And boom.
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga Project
**[11:10] Kotaro**
We call it the Zombie Land
Saga Project, baby!
**[11:15] Sakura**
But... I don't even remember
anything from when I was alive.
**[11:20] Sakura**
So asking me to be an idol or save Saga...
**[11:24] Kotaro**
No need to worry.
**[11:25] Kotaro**
The others have even more baggage than you.
**[11:29] Sakura**
Uh, and they are...?
**[11:32] Kotaro**
Curious?
**[11:33] Sakura**
Well, yes...
**[11:35] Sakura**
I mean, this girl's bitten me
thirteen times since this morning.
**[11:40] Kotaro**
They're legends.
**[11:43] Sakura**
Legends?
**[11:45] Kotaro**
That's right.
**[11:48] Kotaro**
They're the legendary girls I have chosen
and revived to save Saga.
**[11:54] Kotaro**
And with you, they will
form the ultimate team!
**[11:59] Kotaro**
At the turn of the century she conquered
all of Kyushu with her gang, Dorami!
***SIGN*** Dorami's Legendary Biker Boss, Saki Nikaido
**[12:03] Kotaro**
The legendary biker boss, Saki Nikaido!
**[12:08] Kotaro**
This girl gave rise to the 1980s idol boom
and was in a class of her own!
**[12:12] Kotaro**
The legendary Showa idol, Junko Konno!
***SIGN*** Legendary Showa Idol, Junko Konno
**[12:17] Kotaro**
From the turbulent time spanning the
death of the shogunate to the Meiji era,
**[12:19] Kotaro**
this woman was there at
the moment of revolution!
***SIGN*** Legendary Courtesan, Yugiri
**[12:21] Kotaro**
The legendary courtesan, Yugiri!
**[12:25] Kotaro**
After a major break out on
a long-running period drama,
**[12:27] Kotaro**
she managed to leave her mark on the
prime-time lineup of every network!
***SIGN*** Legendary Child Actress Prodigy, Lily Hoshikawa
**[12:29] Kotaro**
The legendary child actress
prodigy, Lily Hoshikawa!
**[12:34] Kotaro**
During the warring idol period
following the year 2000,
**[12:37] Kotaro**
she was the implacable center for
the ruling unit, Iron Frill!
**[12:41] Kotaro**
The legendary Heisei idol, Ai Mizuno!
***SIGN*** Legendary Heisei Idol, Ai Mizuno
**[12:45] Sakura**
*Wait... isn't she...*
***SIGN***
The Legendary

**[12:47] Kotaro**
The legendary Tae Yamada!
**[12:50] Kotaro**
And they will be joining you on your—
**[12:52] Sakura**
Wait a second! Just a second!
**[12:55] Sakura**
That last one...
**[12:56] Kotaro**
The legendary Tae Yamada!
***SIGN*** The Legendary Tae Yamada
**[12:59] Sakura**
I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you.
**[13:02] Sakura**
The legendary...
**[13:03] Kotaro**
Tae Yamada!
***SIGN*** The Legendary Tae Yamada
**[13:05] Sakura**
I mean, isn't there... anything else?
**[13:09] Kotaro**
Does there have to be?!
**[13:11] Sakura**
But what's her legend about—
**[13:12] Kotaro**
Who says a legend has to be about anything?!
**[13:15] Sakura**
Then isn't she just a normal zom—
**[13:17] Kotaro**
What makes you so legendary, then?!
**[13:19] Kotaro**
Go on, tell me!
**[13:20] Kotaro**
See, not a damn thing!
**[13:21] Kotaro**
From now on, you're the only
one I won't call legendary!
**[13:25] Kotaro**
That being said, at the moment,
they're all totally normal zombies.
**[13:30] Kotaro**
They haven't woken up, after all.
**[13:32] Sakura**
They need to wake up?
**[13:33] Kotaro**
That's right.
**[13:34] Kotaro**
I figure that with a little bit
of stimulation, like you had,
**[13:37] Kotaro**
they'll eventually regain
their consciousness.
**[13:40] Sakura**
Stimulation?!
**[13:41] Sakura**
What happened to me?!
**[13:45] Kotaro**
That being said, tonight you're all going
to put on a very stimulating performance!
**[13:49] Sakura**
Don't try to brush—
**[13:51] Sakura**
Wait, perform?
**[13:52] Kotaro**
Your first performance...
**[13:55] Kotaro**
is tonight!
**[14:16] Sakura**
Hang on!
**[14:17] Crowd**
It's a bunch of chicks!
**[14:41] Sakura**
This isn't even kinda idol-like!
**[14:43] Kotaro**
This was the only place that
had an open stage policy.
**[14:45] Sakura**
What the hell?!
**[14:47] Sakura**
Why are we here?!
**[14:48] Crew**
Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no!
**[14:50] Crew**
You can't go gnawing on that!
**[14:52] Crew**
It costs a lot of money!
**[14:58] Kotaro**
So, what do you think of the special
makeup skills I learned in Hollywood?
**[15:01] Kotaro**
Nobody's noticed that they're zombies.
**[15:03] Sakura**
That isn't the real issue here!
**[15:07] Sakura**
Though, it's impressive...
**[15:09] Kotaro**
And yet you went and passed out
yesterday after I tried it on you.
**[15:14] Kotaro**
What's your problem, anyway?
**[15:16] ---**
Let's go!
**[15:22] Sakura**
Tae-chan?
***SIGN*** Zero
**[15:26] Sakura**
Wh-Wh-What, what, what is this?!
What's going on?!
***SIGN*** Five
**[15:41] Sakura**
No, no, no!
**[15:43] Sakura**
They're gonna get mad at us again!
**[15:50] Kotaro**
You've got this.
**[15:51] Sakura**
No, I don't! That should be obvious!
**[15:53] Kotaro**
I don't get it. What are
you so worried about?
**[15:56] Sakura**
What am I...
**[15:57] Sakura**
How can I do anything but worry?!
**[15:59] Sakura**
I'm the only one who's awake!
**[16:01] Sakura**
And it's really obvious the others are zombies!
**[16:03] Sakura**
And isn't a performance the kind of thing
you gotta do a bunch of practice for?!
**[16:06] Sakura**
What exactly are you expecting us to do?!
**[16:09] Kotaro**
Just trust your instincts.
**[16:13] Sakura**
Tae-chan might bite somebody.
**[16:16] Kotaro**
A little biting never hurt anybody.
**[16:18] Sakura**
Are you stupid?
**[16:19] Kotaro**
Listen up!
**[16:21] Kotaro**
Nobody in that crowd is expecting
a damn thing from you all.
**[16:26] Kotaro**
That goes for me, too. Not even a little bit.
**[16:29] Sakura**
Then—
**[16:30] Kotaro**
And that's why!
**[16:32] Kotaro**
That's why you have to blow
their expectations away!
**[16:34] Kotaro**
You will all turn Saga...
**[16:36] Kotaro**
No, you'll turn the entire
world on its head!
**[16:40] Sakura**
We will...?
**[16:44] Tech**
Death Musume (Name Pending), you're on!
**[16:47] Kotaro**
Have some faith.
**[16:48] Kotaro**
You can do this.
**[16:51] Sakura**
Kotaro-san...
**[16:53] Sakura**
No, I can't.
**[16:56] Kotaro**
Okay, it's a go!
**[16:58] Kotaro**
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
**[17:07] Sakura**
U-Um, well, good evening...
**[17:10] Sakura**
W-W-W-We are D-Death Musume!
**[17:13] Wig**
Come on, spit it out, girlie!
**[17:15] Wig**
What are idols doing here, anyway?!
**[17:17] Hochu**
You better not be making fun of death metal!
**[17:20] Sakura**
R-Right!
**[17:21] Sakura**
Y-You can all call me Number 1.
**[17:25] Wig**
No one cares! Get started already!
**[17:27] Hochu**
It's just gonna be crap, anyway!
**[17:30] Sakura**
I-I'm sorry!
**[17:31] Sakura**
*They're so mad!*
**[17:32] Sakura**
*What do I do? What do I do?!*
**[17:46] Sakura**
*I knew it!*
**[17:48] Wig**
*A stage dive?!*
**[17:49] Wig**
*They haven't even started playing yet!*
**[17:56] Wig**
*This is getting kinda hairy!*
**[17:57] Wig**
*I better not get in trouble for this!*
**[17:59] Sakura**
Cut that out!
**[18:01] Sakura**
Come on!
**[18:06] Hochu**
I can't believe they started
with trying to mosh...
**[18:10] Wig**
That chick's actually kinda brutal.
**[18:12] Sakura**
*I knew it.*
**[18:19] Sakura**
*Ugh, this is a huge mess!*
**[18:26] Sakura**
Huh?
**[18:27] Kotaro**
Music, come on!
**[18:31] Crowd**
Huh?
**[18:33] Sakura**
*What's this music?!*
**[18:34] Wig**
What the hell?
**[18:36] Wig**
They're actually playing the real thing!
**[18:38] Hochu**
This music's for *them*?
**[18:40] Wig**
I like it!
**[18:41] Wig**
Show us what you got, little girl!
**[19:07] Sakura**
*W-W-W-Wait!*
**[19:39] Wig**
What is this?
**[19:40] Wig**
What're they doing?
**[19:42] Wig**
How can they headbang like that?
**[19:45] Wig**
It's like their necks are broken!
**[19:54] Sakura**
*This feeling... Where have I...*
**[20:57] Sakura**
I knew it wouldn't work.
**[21:00] Sakura**
But...
**[21:03] Sakura**
I wonder what that was.
**[21:14] Sakura**
Tae-chan?
**[21:15] Junko**
Help!
**[21:19] Ai**
What is this?
**[21:21] Junko**
Somebody, please, do something!
**[21:23] Lily**
I'm scared!
**[21:26] Yugiri**
What's going on?
**[21:27] Yugiri**
What's all the commotion?
**[21:30] Saki**
That was a good nap.
**[21:37] Sakura**
W-Well...
**[21:41] Sakura**
G...

Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*!
**[00:02] Sakura**
I'm Sakura Minamoto, a high school girl
with a heart full of hope and dreams!
**[00:05] Sakura**
One day, I died suddenly
after an unfortunate accident!
**[00:07] Sakura**
So sad! But then it's like, good morning!
**[00:09] Sakura**
Wait, how's this happening?!
**[00:10] Sakura**
I got chased by scary people,
a policeman shot me,
**[00:13] Sakura**
and this weirdo is telling me
to become an idol and save Saga...
**[00:15] Sakura**
Wait, I'm a zombie?!

No, even if we're dead,
we will make them come true!
**[01:43] OP Narration**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[01:45] OP Narration**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even
if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[01:49] OP Narration**
Because that is our saga!
**[03:04] Saki**
So, like...
**[03:06] Saki**
I don't get any of this.
**[03:07] Kotaro**
Oh, what's up, Saki?
**[03:11] Saki**
I died, right?
**[03:13] Saki**
So how come I'm not dead?
**[03:15] Kotaro**
What, you seriously don't know?
**[03:19] Kotaro**
Use your head for a second!
**[03:21] Saki**
Like I said, I don't know what the hell—
**[03:22] Kotaro**
Because you're a zombie!
**[03:24] Kotaro**
You're a zombie, so you're up
and about, obviously!
**[03:27] Kotaro**
What kinda normal human has a green face?!
**[03:30] Kotaro**
Listen up. You all died and became zombies,
**[03:34] Kotaro**
and zombies have no place
in our modern society!
**[03:38] Kotaro**
I'm offering you freaks a place
to belong by turning you into idols,
**[03:43] Kotaro**
so your dumbasses better appreciate it!
**[03:47] Kotaro**
So, if you zombies are going to be idols,
**[03:50] Kotaro**
what are you going to need the most?
**[03:52] Kotaro**
Go ahead, Sakura!
**[03:53] Sakura**
Uh, I dunno...
**[03:56] Sakura**
Oh, we'll need to not bite people?
**[03:57] Kotaro**
It's keeping the fact you're zombies a secret,
you stupid freaking zombie!
***SIGN*** Zombie Movies

**[04:11] Kotaro**
There. As you can see,
the zombies were obliterated.
**[04:14] Kotaro**
So let's do a good job being idols,
so no one finds out the truth.
**[04:18] Kotaro**
Referring to yourselves with numbers
is a part of that strategy.
**[04:21] Ai**
I get that we're zombies now,
**[04:24] Ai**
but I don't get why we have to be idols.
**[04:27] Kotaro**
To save Saga!
**[04:29] Ai**
Revitalizing a prefecture
as local idols? In Saga?
**[04:32] Kotaro**
What, are you scared?
**[04:35] Ai**
It's obviously not going to work.
**[04:37] Ai**
Looking like this and trying to save Saga...
**[04:40] Ai**
And I'm not even from Saga!
**[04:43] Kotaro**
Saga doesn't sweat the details!
**[04:46] Kotaro**
Even if you don't know a damn thing about it!
**[04:48] Ai**
Hey, I know about Saga!
**[04:50] Kotaro**
Why don't you tell me what you know?
**[04:53] Ai**
It's... in Kyushu!
**[04:55] Kotaro**
Oh, *very* impressive!
That was *super* good, Ai-chan!
**[05:00] Ai**
Well, what exactly do you
know about Saga, then?!
**[05:03] Kotaro**
I know everything!
Everything there is to know.
**[05:07] Ai**
What's Saga's population?
**[05:08] Kotaro**
I know that down to the tiniest decimal!
**[05:11] Ai**
Well, go on.
**[05:15] Kotaro**
It's... small.
**[05:17] Kotaro**
On the smaller side.
**[05:18] Ai**
But specifically—
**[05:19] Kotaro**
Who the hell knows, stupid?!
**[05:22] Kotaro**
You wanna know stats,
look it up on Wiki***ia!
**[05:25] Kotaro**
Or is that what you think?!
You think I'm Wiki***ia?!
**[05:27] Kotaro**
Nope, nope!
**[05:29] Kotaro**
I'm the guy who's gonna make you into idols,
**[05:31] Kotaro**
Kotaro Tatsumi-san, that's me!
**[05:36] Kotaro**
I chose you all,
**[05:37] Kotaro**
and I know that you will send shockwaves
through society as Saga's idols.
**[05:41] Kotaro**
The first step for that occurs
tomorrow at Saga Castle,
**[05:45] Kotaro**
when you participate in the
Shachi-no-mon Public Concert.
**[05:48] Ai**
This is so clearly not going to work...
**[05:49] Kotaro**
That's not clear at all!
**[05:51] Kotaro**
You just have to pull it off,
like yesterday's show.
**[05:53] Ai**
Wait, what are you talking about?
**[05:56] Kotaro**
You all had the house jumping.
**[05:57] Kotaro**
Right, Sakura?
**[05:59] Sakura**
Uh, sorta... Sure.
**[06:04] Kotaro**
Now, let's get cracking on those lessons!
**[06:07] Kotaro**
Good, good, good, good, okay!

* pull this off right away.*
**[06:27] Kotaro**
Good, good, good, good, okay!
**[06:32] Kotaro**
Good, good, good, good, okay!
**[06:37] Sakura**
*She's really staring at me...*
**[06:44] Sakura**
Oof!
**[06:49] Junko**
E-Excuse me... Wh-What do you want?
**[06:55] Sakura**
*Ai-chan was an idol, wasn't she?*
**[06:58] Sakura**
*I know I've seen her somewhere before.*
**[07:00] Saki**
Hey!
**[07:01] Saki**
You're Sakura, right?
**[07:02] Sakira**
Y-Yes...
**[07:04] Saki**
Where you from?
**[07:06] Saki**
I'm asking what middle school you went to!
**[07:08] Sakura**
Uh... Well, I don't remember.
**[07:13] Saki**
You screw with me and I'll kill you, got it?
**[07:15] Sakura**
I-It's true, I really don't remember
anything from before I was a zombie!
**[07:19] Saki**
Man, just remember it!
Make yourself remember!
**[07:25] Saki**
And why the hell are you
taking this seriously?
**[07:28] Saki**
You some kinda goody two-shoes?!
**[07:29] Saki**
You want an ass-kicking?!
**[07:31] Sakura**
Not exactly...
**[07:33] Sakura**
It's just... since we have a show to do...
**[07:36] Saki**
We oughta do a rally.

Ai-chan, are you around?
**[08:59] Sakura**
Ai-chan! Oh, and Junko-chan.
**[09:02] Sakura**
What are you two doing?
**[09:06] Ai**
Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving.
**[09:06] (Junko**
I'm leaving this place...
**[09:09] Ai**
Why should I have to put
up with this nonsense?
**[09:13] Sakura**
No, no, no you can't!
**[09:15] Sakura**
It's dangerous out there!
**[09:17] Ai**
You mean like that video he showed us?
**[09:19] Ai**
Nothing like that's actually
going to happen.
**[09:20] Sakura**
I got shot, for real!
**[09:23] Junko**
That Tae girl frightens me...
**[09:25] Junko**
I have no idea what she's thinking,
and she bites...
**[09:28] Sakura**
I felt the same way, but it's okay!
Once you get used to it!
**[09:32] Sakura**
Ai-chan, wait up!
**[09:33] Ai**
Let go!
**[09:34] Sakura**
No!
**[09:46] Sakura**
I'm sorry, Ai-chan... but it's dangerous.
Let's go back.
**[09:49] Ai**
Give it a rest.
**[09:50] ---**
**[09:50] Junko**
Where exactly are you going?
**[09:52] Ai**
Tokyo.
**[09:54] Sakura**
Tokyo?!
**[09:55] Sakura**
You can't, we don't have any money...
**[09:57] Sakura**
And someone's gonna explode your head!
**[09:59] Junko**
Please don't make this worse!
**[10:01] Sakura**
Or maybe they'll punch it to mush!
**[10:03] Ai**
You can go back by yourself, okay?
**[10:09] Sakura**
Ai-chan, let's go back...
**[10:10] Ai**
Do you seriously think
zombies can pull off being idols?
**[10:14] Ai**
Why are you agreeing to this all so easily?
**[10:16] Ai**
He's got you dancing to his tune.
Are you stupid?
**[10:19] Sakura**
Maybe I am...
**[10:22] Sakura**
Maybe I haven't really thought it through...
**[10:25] Sakura**
But...
**[10:26] Sakura**
The other day,
when we all went on stage together,
**[10:28] Sakura**
I felt really strange...
**[10:31] Sakura**
Like my heart was buzzing...
I was really happy.
**[10:36] Sakura**
I don't remember life before
becoming a zombie,
**[10:38] Sakura**
but I get the impression I've felt
something like that before.
**[10:42] Sakura**
I want to feel that way again...
**[10:44] Sakura**
I want to know what it really is.
**[10:47] Sakura**
So I want to get on stage again... That's all.
**[10:59] B**
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
**[11:01] C**
Check, check, check!
**[11:03] Sakura**
Those guys are kinda scary...

Mic check, yo!
**[11:08] A**
Yo, check it! These chicks
are out really late,
**[11:12] A**
maybe they're like us, cruising for a date?
**[11:14] B**
Yo, screw you man, you make me do the work,
**[11:17] B**
when you push me around,
you act like a jerk!
**[11:20] C**
Yo, yo, yo! How about you
let me hit them up then?
**[11:24] C**
If you end up asking,
they'll wanna be "just friends."
**[11:27] Junko**
They're coming this way! They're coming
this way! They're coming this way...
**[11:29] Sakura**
What do we do?! What do we do?!
What do we do?!
**[11:34] C**
You girls wanna do some karaoke?
A little song and dance?
**[11:37] C**
We know a place open late
if you don't got plans!
**[11:41] C**
If you don't got money,
it'll be our treat. Okay?
**[11:49] Cop**
You're up late boys, wanna tell me why?
**[11:52] Cop**
Or do you think I'm gonna walk on by?
**[11:54] Sakura**
That voice...
**[11:56] A**
Damn it, man.
**[11:57] A**
We didn't even do anything.
**[11:59] Cop**
You wanna pick up girls, is that your game?
**[12:01] Cop**
Cuz I can throw your butts in jail,
it's all the same!
**[12:04] Ai**
Officer! Please, help!
**[12:07] Sakura**
Ai-chan, don't!
**[12:14] Cop**
A-Again?!

Whoa, hold up! This is not happening!

She's messed up! I'm freaking out!

Come on, Ai-chan!

Oh, no! This is bad!

Good— Wait, no, do it good.
**[12:55] Kotaro**
Okay, do it good from the start this time.
**[12:58] Kotaro**
Good, good, very good.
**[13:00] Kotaro**
Good, good, very good.
**[13:01] Junko**
We were really shot at yesterday, weren't we?
**[13:04] Ai**
I thought I was going to die.
**[13:06] Junko**
Well, we're dead already.
**[13:07] Kotaro**
All right, that was good!
**[13:10] (Flashback) B**
Whoa, hold up! This is not happening!
**[13:12] Kotaro**
Okay, from the beginning...
**[13:16] Sakura**
We better be careful tomorrow...
**[13:18] Saki**
Hey!
**[13:23] Saki**
You wanna die?
**[13:24] Sakura**
Sorry for interrupting.
**[13:25] Saki**
Hold it!
**[13:29] Saki**
Why the hell do you listen
to shades back there?
**[13:32] Sakura**
Y-You mean Kotaro-san?
**[13:35] Saki**
I'm not like you!
**[13:37] Saki**
I do what I want, and I only got
respect for people with guts!
**[13:41] Sakura**
What is it that you want to do, Saki-chan?
**[13:43] Saki**
Take the whole damn country over.
**[13:45] Sakura**
Why?
**[13:50] Sakura**
Saki-chan!
**[13:52] Sakura**
Do you want to, just once, try and—
**[13:55] Saki**
Hell no, I don't.

with your helmet like this!
**[18:29] Sakura**
Could you *try* to hide the fact we're zombies?!
**[18:34] Sakura**
You're not even trying to hide it!
**[18:36] Sakura**
What kind of idol's head comes off?!
**[18:38] Sakura**
How could we possibly be human?!
**[18:41] Sakura**
What kind of human can do that?!
**[18:44] Sakura**
Is your brain rotting too,
you stupid zombie?!
**[18:47] Saki**
All right, bitch, you're on!
**[18:48] Saki**
You've got some guts, and now?
**[18:50] Saki**
I'm gonna kick your ass all
the way to Hoto Shrine!
**[18:52] Sakura**
If they find out we're zombies,
we're extra dead!
**[18:54] Sakura**
Are any of my words getting
through your head?!
**[18:57] Sakura**
If you can't take this for real,
then you're the zombie
**[18:59] Sakura**
whose deal will be head
trauma that don't heal!
**[19:02] Sakura**
How many more times before you regret it?!
**[19:05] Sakura**
How many cops shoot us
until you finally get it?!
**[19:14] Saki**
You think I'm just gonna roll
over for you and agree?
**[19:16] Saki**
I died riding and now you want
me to be an idol zombie?!
**[19:20] Saki**
If the other choice is acting
like a suck-up snot,
**[19:22] Saki**
you coulda left me in the ground,
I'd rather rot!

Yo!

Hup, hup!

Hup, hup!
**[19:33] Yugiri**
Yo!
**[19:35] Sakura**
I can't even remember who I was
before this all went down,
**[19:38] Sakura**
but on stage, I felt something click...
**[19:40] Sakura**
I'm no goody-two shoes,
and I'm nobody's clown.
**[19:43] Sakura**
I'm just trying to do more
than be a worthless brick!
**[19:45] Saki**
Who cares if you've got
memories in your head?
**[19:48] Saki**
You won't get to see your friends,
and your Tamagotchi's long dead!
**[19:52] Saki**
We're done, got it?!
**[19:54] Saki**
Nothing's gonna change about that!
**[19:55] Sakura**
Hell no, we're not done!
**[19:57] Sakura**
We're just getting started!
**[19:58] Sakura**
We've got to keep moving ahead!
Or we'll just be the walking dead!
**[20:01] Sakura**
Even if we have died,
we only stop when we decide,
**[20:04] Sakura**
so stop running, and ride again!
**[20:05] Sakura**
Kick some ass, captain!
**[20:10] Sakura**
And that goes for the two
of you standing over there!
**[20:13] Sakura**
Gonna act like losers when
you're the celebrity pair?
**[20:15] Sakura**
You've got all the talent in the world,
**[20:18] Sakura**
but the two of you girls are giving up
without giving it a whirl!
**[20:20] Sakura**
Quit coming up with excuses
about why you can't win!
**[20:23] Sakura**
If you've got even a little chance,
try to do that then!
**[20:24] Lily**
Yo, yo!
**[20:25] Sakura**
Even a zombie can do it if she tries,
**[20:28] Sakura**
and when you prove it,
it shows dead souls can rise!
**[20:31] Sakura**
Yo, that goes for all you old folks, too!
**[20:34] Sakura**
Tell anyone who talks about
golden years to go screw!
**[20:35] Lily**
Yo, yo, yo!
**[20:36] Sakura**
Napping on the porch in
the afternoon? Not you!
**[20:38] Sakura**
They're worried about a low rate of birth?
**[20:39] Sakura**
Show them all what silver's worth!
**[20:42] Sakura**
If they wanna blame you
for everything anyway,
**[20:44] Sakura**
keep active and show you're here to stay!
**[20:46] Sakura**
Bang!
**[21:00] Death Dude A**
I've... I've never seen
anything like that before...
**[21:03] Death Dude B**
It really looked like
her head came off, too.
**[21:10] Sakura**
*Their reaction...*
**[21:13] Saki**
For real?
**[21:18] Sakura**
*We did it again...*
**[21:20] Saki**
Hey, Sakura!
**[21:21] Sakura**
Y-Yes.
**[21:23] Sakura**
Sorry about earlier...
**[21:25] Saki**
You've got guts after all!
**[21:27] Saki**
Never thought you'd start
rapping like that! I love it!
**[21:31] Sakura**
Huh...?
**[21:32] Saki**
Plus that egg-looking head of yours
reminds me of my Tamagotchi.
**[21:37] Sakura**
Wait, I look like an egg?!
**[21:40] Saki**
Idols, huh...
**[21:42] Saki**
Might be a decent way to take over,
come to think of it.

Saki-chan.

Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*!
**[00:02] MS**
These girls were revived as zombies
**[00:04] MS**
and, after they regained consciousness,
**[00:06] MS**
it was time to get down to idol activities!
**[00:07] MS**
Or that was the idea,
but nobody is ready to do
**[00:09] MS**
something like that out of the blue,
zombie or not!
**[00:11] MS**
Nobody was on the same page,
**[00:13] MS**
and they didn't get how scary
being a zombie really is,
**[00:15] MS**
and everybody gave me a really hard time!
**[00:17] MS**
But, maybe because of that,
I was able to cut loose and spit a hot rap!
**[00:21] MS**
And that's how I took my first
step towards being an idol...
**[00:24] MS**
except that's not how it works!
**[00:28] TK**
Hey, good morning, ladies!
**[00:35] TK**
G'morning!
**[00:37] TK**
G'morning!
**[00:40] NS**
Hey, give it a rest!
**[00:42] NS**
You're freaking her out!
**[00:44] TK**
That being the case, we jumped into
the event at Saga Castle yesterday,
**[00:50] TK**
and I'm gonna be blunt with you.
**[00:53] TK**
The fact is...
**[00:56] TK**
You did a great job!
**[00:59] TK**
I'm amazed you were able to keep
the lid on the whole zombie thing
**[01:02] TK**
in spite of playing hot potato with a head!
**[01:05] TK**
The kindness you used to help each other...
**[01:07] TK**
One for zombies! All for zombies!
**[01:11] TK**
So this applause goes out to you girls!
**[01:14] TK**
That was some nice zombie-ing!
**[01:15] TK**
Now, applaud each other! Go on!
**[01:17] TK**
That was nice zombie-ing!
Very nice zombie-ing!
**[01:21] TK**
And you, Sakura!
**[01:22] MS**
Yes?!
**[01:23] TK**
Your raps? Yeah.
**[01:25] TK**
Good vibes. Uh-huh.
**[01:27] TK**
Good rhymes. Yeah.
**[01:29] MS**
**[01:32] MS**
Well...
**[01:33] TK**
Don't go getting full of yourself, dumbass!
**[01:38] TK**
You think this is the time for fun time
happy grins now that the event's over?!
**[01:42] TK**
Seems to me like you've lost sight
of the real objective here!
**[01:45] TK**
You're the little lost idols!
**[01:49] TK**
As it stands, you zombies could keep at it for
three billion years and still not become idols!
**[01:53] TK**
And the task you pitiful zombies
should be focusing on next...
**[01:58] TK**
Is this.
***SIGN*** Guerrilla Performance!
**[02:08] MS**
A guerrilla performance?
**[02:10] HL**
He couldn't spell it.
**[02:11] YR**
Sakura-han...
**[02:13] YR**
What exactly is a guerrilla performance?
**[02:15] MS**
Well...
**[02:16] MS**
You don't tell anybody about it,
and start singing and dancing in the city.
**[02:22] YR**
Oh, like testing a sword on
someone who's passing by.
**[02:28] MS**
But if we do that, won't the
police come after us again?
**[02:32] TK**
Don't worry about it.
**[02:34] TK**
As long as you have your makeup on,
no one will guess what's up.
**[02:36] TK**
You'll get a slap on the wrist, at most.
**[02:39] NS**
Quit wussing out, Sakura!
**[02:41] NS**
How are we gonna run a rally
if we let the pigs scare us?
**[02:44] KS**
You won't be able to freestyle
your way out of this one, either.
**[02:48] KS**
This time you're going to act like a real
idol group and pull off this guerrilla show!
**[02:54] KJ**
Excuse me...
**[02:55] KS**
What's up, Junko?
**[02:56] KJ**
I've performed solo before,
but never as part of a group.
**[03:02] KS**
You loner!
**[03:04] JK**
L-Loner?
**[03:05] KS**
Yeah, because you're a loner!
**[03:08] KS**
The guerrilla show is tomorrow morning,
in the plaza over by Karatsu Station!
**[03:12] MS**
Tomorrow?!
**[03:14] MA**
We're not going to get a song and dance
number down with only one day to practice.
**[03:18] MA**
I guess you're not getting any sleep, then!
**[03:20] TK**
Though, considering you're zombies,
you don't really need sleep, I guess.
***SIGN*** Episode 3
**[03:36] Intro**
Even if we're dead, we want to
make our dreams come true...
**[03:38] Intro**
No, even if we're dead, we
will make them come true!
**[03:41] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[03:43] Intro**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[03:47] Intro**
Because that is our saga!
**[05:01] NS**
Is this for real?
**[05:03] NS**
Man, you have to remember a bunch
of crap when you're an idol.
**[05:06] MS**
It's nothing but learning
new things, Saki-chan.
**[05:08] HL**
Hey, me, me, me!
**[05:10] NS**
What's all the noise about, shrimpy?
**[05:11] HL**
My name is not shrimpy!
**[05:14] HL**
I'm the shining star of the stage,
Lily Hoshikawa!
**[05:18] NS**
You wanna die?
**[05:19] MS**
What is it, Lily-chan?
**[05:21] HL**
Before we start practicing,
shouldn't we pick a leader?
**[05:25] MS**
Leader?
**[05:26] MS**
Yeah! An idol group needs one, right?
**[05:29] MS**
That way they can make decisions
and keep things moving!
**[05:33] MS**
In that case...
**[05:34] MS**
I think we should have
our experienced idols—
**[05:38] MA**
That is not happening.
**[05:44] NS**
Uh...
**[05:49] NS**
I'm the first captain of Dorami,
a ladies' biker gang from Saga!
**[05:54] NS**
The name's Saki Nikaido!
**[05:55] NS**
Good to meet ya!
**[05:57] NS**
I think that the first captain of this team
**[06:01] NS**
oughta be me, Saki Nikaido!
**[06:05] NS**
Good to have ya aboard!
**[06:06] HL**
Wow, loud.
**[06:08] NS**
Anybody else wanna step up?
**[06:12] MS**
Doesn't look like it...
**[06:14] NS**
Hell yeah!
**[06:15] NS**
Then I've got this captain thing down!
**[06:17] NS**
So, what, I guess we take Kyushu over first?
**[06:19] MS**
The term is leader, not captain, Saki-chan.
**[06:22] HL**
Next I think we should settle
on a name for the group!
**[06:26] NS**
A name for the group?
**[06:27] HL**
Stuff like "Death Musume"
and "Green Face"...
**[06:29] HL**
None of Tatsumi's ideas are idol-ish at all!
**[06:32] MS**
That's true...
**[06:34] HL**
How about this?!
**[06:36] HL**
"Lily With Cutie Lily Magic!"
**[06:40] MS**
Where are the rest of us?
**[06:42] NS**
Damn it, shrimpy, even your
ideas are kiddy as hell.
**[06:45] NS**
A team's gotta have a name like this!
***SIGN*** Wicked Rage Void Slackers
**[06:49] MS**
How do you pronounce that?
**[06:51] NS**
Jeanne d'Arc!
**[06:53] HL**
Lame.
**[06:54] YR**
I think it has an impressive ring to it.
**[06:57] NS**
You've got a good eye, Sis!
**[07:00] YR**
Why not something along these lines, then?
***SIGN*** The Mibu Wolves
**[07:03] MS**
The Mibu Wolves?
**[07:05] NS**
Hey, that might work!
**[07:07] HL**
Hell no.
**[07:08] YR**
They'd visit me all the time
when I was in Shimabara...
**[07:13] HL**
Come on, come on, I want something cuter!
**[07:16] MS**
Well, it is an idol group...
**[07:19] NS**
Hey, damn it!
**[07:20] MS**
Tae-chan! We're talking
about something important!
**[07:35] MS**
You can't suck on that!
It's really bad for you!
**[07:38] MS**
Oh, come on! Stop!
**[07:38] KJ**
We're zombies already, though.
**[07:48] MS**
Tae-chan!
**[07:49] NS**
This is getting to be a pain in the ass.
**[07:52] NS**
Sakura, figure it out.
**[07:54] MS**
Wait, me?!
**[07:55] NS**
You've got something in mind, right?
**[07:57] MS**
Well... how about Framboise?
**[08:00] HL**
Oh, that's kind of cute!
**[08:02] NS**
Fu Ran what now?
***SIGN*** Rotten Chaos
**[08:05] MS**
You don't need to write it in kanji...
**[08:07] NS**
Kinda seems dull to me...
**[08:09] HL**
The way she wrote it makes it sound stinky.
I don't like it anymore.
**[08:12] YR**
Well, since we are zombies,
it wouldn't surprise me if we did stink.
**[08:24] HL**
A-Anyway, let's pick that group name!
**[08:26] HL**
We need to decide!
**[08:28] NS**
You got anything else, Sakura?
**[08:29] MS**
Uh, well...
**[08:31] MS**
Fra... fran... chise? No, not that...
**[08:34] MS**
Fre... French Bread?
**[08:36] MS**
French... Cream Puffs?
**[08:40] NS**
What's that?
**[08:41] HL**
Ew! The ink from before!
**[08:43] MS**
Was that Tae-chan sneezing?
**[08:46] MS**
You think she's okay?
**[08:49] HL**
Hang on...
**[08:52] MS**
What is it, Lily-chan?
**[08:53] HL**
You know what?
I don't think she was sneezing.
**[08:58] HL**
It was, but not just that!
**[09:01] HL**
That's it!
**[09:03] HL**
That's our name now that we've been reborn!
**[09:07] HL**
Franchouchou!
**[09:08] HL**
That's our new name!
**[09:10] MS**
Franchouchou?
**[09:12] HL**
Yeah! Franchouchou!
**[09:14] YR**
Franchouchou...
**[09:15] NS**
Franchouchou?
**[09:19] NS**
That might actually work.
**[09:21] YR**
Yes! It has a lovely sound to it.
**[09:24] YR**
It's super cute!
**[09:25] YR**
Way better than any of Tatsumi's!
**[09:27] MS**
Franchouchou...
**[09:29] MS**
It's like the more you say it,
the cuter it sounds!
**[09:32] MS**
That was amazing, Tae-chan!
**[09:35] NS**
Fu Ran Shu Shu....
***SIGN*** Rotten Chaos Stank Gang
**[09:38] NS**
What? It's fine!
**[09:40] MS**
No kanji...
***SIGN*** Franchouchou
**[09:42] NS**
I guess we're doing this.
**[09:44] NS**
Starting today, the seven of
us are team Franchouchou!
**[09:48] HL**
We just need to get the song
and dance down now!
**[09:52] MS**
Yeah!
**[09:53] NS**
Hell yeah! All right, Franchouchou!
**[09:56] NS**
We're practicing our asses off now!
**[09:59] NS**
Let's do it!
**[10:01] Others**
Let's do it!
**[10:04] HL**
I don't think we can pull this off...
**[10:07] NS**
I guess we need more than guts.
**[10:09] MS**
I thought I understood, but...
dancing and singing are so hard.
**[10:15] NS**
We're screwed if we don't get it together...
**[10:17] HL**
We won't make it in time, anyway.
**[10:19] MS**
* No one has any experience,*
* other than Ai-chan and Junko-chan.*
**[10:25] HL**
Tae-chan?
**[10:25] MS**
* We've never been able to*
* pull it off in practice,*
**[10:29] MS**
* and tomorrow we have*
* to do it in front of people?*
**[10:32] NS**
Whoa, hold up! That's dangerous!
**[10:35] HL**
Nope, nope, nope, nope!
**[10:37] MS**
* If you think about it logically,*
* there's no way it'll work...*
**[10:39] MS**
* I mean, the idea of zombies*
* being idols in itself is...*
**[10:44] HL**
Sakura-chan!
**[10:45] NS**
Hey, Sakura, get off, quick!
**[10:46] MS**
*But I need to know...*
**[10:49] MS**
* I need to know what I felt when I went*
* up on stage for the first time!*
**[11:09] NS**
Sakura!
**[11:10] HL**
Sakura-chan!
**[11:14] MS**
I'm going back and practicing some more!
**[11:17] NS**
Hey...
**[11:18] MS**
Saki-chan! Lily-chan! Tae-chan!
**[11:21] MS**
Even us... Even zombies...
If we work hard...
**[11:27] MS**
If we don't give up, I know we can—
**[11:37] YR**
Sakura-han.
**[11:39] YR**
What happened to practicing?
**[11:41] YR**
Even us... Even zombies... If we work hard,
**[11:45] YR**
if we don't give up, I'm sure we can manage!
**[11:50] MS**
Yeah, I was about to—
**[11:51] NS**
No, Sakura. Big Sis Yugiri is right.
**[11:56] HL**
I think Yugirin snapped
me out of my funk, too!
**[12:04] KJ**
They're taking a while.
**[12:07] KJ**
Yugiri-san went to get them
and hasn't come back, either.
**[12:10] KJ**
Did they give up?
**[12:15] KJ**
I think that might be for the best.
**[12:18] KJ**
An idol act isn't something that
can be pulled off overnight.
**[12:22] KJ**
And...
**[12:23] KJ**
I don't think a hastily put together
show is what an audience wants to see.
**[12:29] MA**
Even if it's a rush job, I think a crowd
will appreciate it if it's sincere.
**[12:36] MA**
But that's *if* it's sincere.
**[12:38] NS**
All right, let's get cracking!
**[12:41] NS**
We're gonna get this down by tomorrow!
**[12:44] Everybody**
Yeah!
**[12:52] MS**
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.
**[12:59] HL**
Ow!
**[13:01] ---**
One, two—
**[13:02] MS**
Lily-chan! Are you okay?
**[13:04] HL**
The movement in this part is way too hard!
**[13:06] NS**
You gotta put more guts into it!
**[13:08] HL**
I tried that already!
**[13:09] YR**
No fighting, now.
**[13:21] KJ**
I'm sorry.
**[13:26] NS**
Sakura.
**[13:27] NS**
Even if we're the only ones who wanna try,
we should keep at it.
**[13:32] NS**
Let's start over from the beginning!
**[13:34] NS**
I'm gonna roll the music!
**[13:42] MA**
What do you want?
**[13:44] TK**
A zombie that doesn't dance
is just a regular zombie.
**[13:46] MA**
Being an idol isn't as
simple as you're thinking.
**[13:50] TK**
What difference does that make?
**[13:52] MA**
I'm saying this can't possibly work!
**[13:55] TK**
Do you seriously think that?
**[13:59] MA**
Of course I do...
**[14:00] TK**
Then why were you two idols?
**[14:08] TK**
The others are zombies,
but they're trying to live.
**[14:13] TK**
How long do you two intend to just rot?
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga

**[14:51] TK**
From this moment on, you're a guerrilla
squadron prowling the concrete jungle.

Here at the battlefield in front of this
train station, you're launching an ambush
**[14:59] TK**
on passersby to throw them into confusion
**[15:01] TK**
so you can seize victory!
**[15:09] TK**
Okay, go, go, go, go, go, go, everybody go!
**[15:12] TK**
Okay, go, go, go, go! Okay,
go. Okay, go, go! Okay, go!
**[15:13] HL**
Let's do it!

Okay, go!
**[15:21] TK**
Go.

*Ai-chan... Junko-chan...*

Okay, let's put that practice to use.

Uh, we're Franchouchou!

We're gonna give this song our all,

What are you doing?
**[20:09] Mom**
Come on.

Glad to have ya!

Well, that didn't work out too good.
**[20:20] Cops**
Come on now, girls!
**[20:24] Cops**
What're you doing?
**[20:26] Cops**
You can't just put on a show without asking!
**[20:29] Cops**
Where are your permits, huh?
**[20:30] Cops**
You wanna get arrested?
**[20:32] Cops**
I can arrest you, y'know!
**[20:34] NS**
You got some kinda problem?!
**[20:35] YR**
Saki-han! Now's not the time!
**[20:37] HL**
You're our leader, remember!
**[20:39] MS**
Sorry! We'll be gone in a second!
**[20:42] Cop**
Do I know you?
**[20:45] MS**
Uh, well...
**[20:48] TK**
We're pulling out!
**[20:50] TK**
Come on, go, go, go, go!
**[20:50] Cop**
Man, he scared me.
**[20:52] NS**
Go, go, go!
**[20:52] TK**
Okay, go! Okay, go!
**[20:52] YR**
On the way!
**[20:55] TK**
Okay, go! Okay, go!
**[20:59] TK**
Okay, go! Okay, go!
**[21:01] TK**
Okay, go! Okay, go!
**[21:05] Cop**
That gal's reaction...
**[21:07] Cop**
I must've poured on too much charm!
**[21:19] JK**
We ended up joining in, didn't we?
**[21:25] MS**
Ai-chan. Junko-chan.
**[21:28] MS**
Thank you for today.
**[21:33] MS**
If it hadn't been for you two...
no one would've watched us finish.
**[21:38] MA**
And?
**[21:39] MS**
You two were just so amazing...
**[21:43] MS**
The rest of us might
not be able to be idols...
**[21:48] MS**
But that just makes me
want to practice more!
**[21:55] MS**
It might just be pretending for now...
**[21:58] MS**
And we're zombies... so that doesn't help...
**[22:03] MS**
But I'm going to work hard, and together,
**[22:07] MS**
I want to make sure Franchouchou
can be a real idol group!
**[22:14] MS**
I'm sure they all think the same.
**[22:27] MS**
Goodnight.
**[22:34] JK**
That really was a mess of a concert today.
**[22:40] JK**
But not performing alone...
felt better than I imagined.
**[22:47] JK**
Thank you for helping.
**[23:07] MA**
Starting over from scratch...
**[23:12] MA**
Franchouchou, huh?

**[00:01] ---**
Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*!
***SIGN*** The Mibu Wolves
**[00:03] ---**
Since our name and roles were all
kinda vague, we decided to talk it over!
**[00:07] ---**
Saki-chan is now our leader and the name
of the group is Franchouchou!
**[00:10] ---**
The name's a little zombie-ish,
and cute to boot!
**[00:12] ---**
Our first act after deciding our name was,
of all things, a guerrilla show!
**[00:15] ---**
It was the first time we've
done anything idol-ish,
**[00:17] ---**
but it made it pretty clear that we've
still got a long, long way to go!
**[00:20] ---**
Good grief!
**[00:21] ---**
We'll have to practice singing
and dancing a whole bunch more!
**[00:24] ---**
You can do it, me! We can
do it, Franchouchou!
**[00:30] Kotaro**
Hey, good morning!
**[00:33] Kotaro**
What's all this? You're looking kinda down!
**[00:36] Kotaro**
Good morning!
**[00:38] Sakura**
Good morning...
**[00:42] Kotaro**
All right, girls.
**[00:43] Kotaro**
Looks like you're taking your
lessons pretty seriously.
**[00:47] Kotaro**
Have you gotten used
to your group's name yet?
**[00:49] Kotaro**
Franchoo-choo!
**[00:51] Sakura**
That's not it! It's Franchouchou!
**[00:53] Kotaro**
Flourochlorochouchou!
**[00:55] Sakura**
Franchou—
**[00:55] Kotaro**
Franchouchou! Yes, I know!
**[00:57] Kotaro**
Ain't it cute?
**[00:59] Kotaro**
Yes! Oh-so cute!
**[01:01] Kotaro**
Okay, Franchouchou.
**[01:02] Kotaro**
It was painfully clear
what a bunch of brain-dead
**[01:04] Kotaro**
zombie idols you are with that
guerrilla show last month,
**[01:07] Kotaro**
but you seem to have grown a bit since then.
**[01:10] Kotaro**
This is where the real game begins.
**[01:13] Kotaro**
Right, Saki?
**[01:14] Saki**
Yeah, I guess.
**[01:15] Kotaro**
You bet it is!
**[01:17] Kotaro**
What about you, Lily?
**[01:19] Lily**
I-I'll—
**[01:20] Kotaro**
Great!
**[01:21] Kotaro**
Now, given that, what's your next mo—
**[01:24] Kotaro**
Answer, Sakura!
**[01:26] Sakura**
I... dunno?
**[01:28] Sakura**
Oh, maybe recording a CD of
our song and selling it?
**[01:31] Kotaro**
Oh, very nice! That's a pretty good idea.
**[01:34] Kotaro**
Well, let's just call a recording studio and...
Yeah, that's not gonna happen, dumbass!
**[01:39] Kotaro**
How the hell's that gonna happen?!
**[01:41] Kotaro**
Where's the money gonna come from?!
**[01:43] Kotaro**
I haven't earned a single yen on you guys
and your raggedy-ass performances so far,
**[01:48] Kotaro**
and do you realize how
much they've cost me?!
**[01:50] Kotaro**
Even gas for the van isn't free,
y'know, you stupid zombie!
**[01:58] Kotaro**
That being the case, our budget has run dry.
**[02:01] Saki**
What the hell do we do, then?!
**[02:04] Kotaro**
Well, when there's no money,
you earn more. Duh.
***SIGN*** "Business"
**[02:08] Sakura**
Business...?
**[02:09] Ai**
Are there even any businesses
in Saga that would hire idols?
**[02:12] Kotaro**
There are, in fact! Because I am awesome!
***SIGN*** "Business"
**[02:14] Kotaro**
It's a big Saga pharmaceutical
company, Hisanaka Pharma!
**[02:18] Kotaro**
If it goes well, this could
end in a partnership!
**[02:20] Sakura**
Partnership?
**[02:21] Saki**
Look, I don't get it, but when is
this business stuff going down?
**[02:25] Kotaro**
Right now.
**[02:27] Kotaro**
The act they had booked for their
company trip isn't going to make it.
**[02:31] Ai**
Why are all your ideas last minute—
**[02:33] Kotaro**
Because we don't get enough
chances to let any slip by!
**[02:35] Kotaro**
Idols have a limited shelf life nowadays.
**[02:38] Kotaro**
And you zombies can be
overworked without dying!
**[02:41] Kotaro**
Which means we're doing this.
**[02:43] Kotaro**
Just do like you've practiced
and show off your stuff.
**[02:48] Kotaro**
Incidentally, the location is going
to be the Ureshino Hot Springs.
**[02:51] Junko**
Hot springs?!
**[02:54] Saki**
Hey, sounds good!
**[02:55] Saki**
We've just been washing off
in the yard, after all.
**[02:58] Yugiri**
This could be a chance to wash off
some of the decay from Franchouchou.
**[03:05] Kotaro**
And they're being nice enough
to put us up overnight.
**[03:08] Sakura**
We're staying the night?
**[03:10] Saki**
Sounds like we can let it all hang out!
**[03:12] Kotaro**
Except none of you are going
into the hot springs!
**[03:15] Kotaro**
Because you can't walk around outside
of your room without your makeup!
**[03:18] Kotaro**
Yeah, sucks to be you!
**[03:21] Kotaro**
If you think you've got enough time
to splish splash in a hot spring,
**[03:24] Kotaro**
then use that time for practice!
**[03:31] Sakura**
Excuse me...
**[03:33] Kotaro**
What's up?
**[03:34] Sakura**
What does this pharmaceutical
company sell, anyway?
**[03:40] Kotaro**
This is it.
***SIGN*** Saganship Z
**[03:43] Sakura**
Saganship Z?
***SIGN*** Episode 4 Warming Dead SAGA
**[03:54] Intro**
Even if we're dead, we want to
make our dreams come true...
**[03:56] Intro**
No, even if we're dead, we
will make them come true!
**[03:59] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[04:01] Intro**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[04:05] Intro**
Because that is our saga!
**[05:17] Kotaro**
You're in room 606.
**[05:20] Kotaro**
You're on at 18:00.
**[05:22] Sakura**
Understood!
**[05:24] Kotaro**
You better be practicing
while I'm sightseeing,
**[05:26] Kotaro**
since I went to the trouble of
setting up a room to rehearse in.
**[05:29] Sakura**
Right!
**[05:30] Sakura**
Wait... Kotaro-san, what did
you say you would be doing?
**[05:34] Kotaro**
Sightseeing.
**[05:37] Kotaro**
Gonna see me them sights!
**[05:44] Saki**
Well, what're we gonna do?
**[05:47] Sakura**
What do you mean?
**[05:49] Saki**
You're not seriously gonna go
straight to practice, right?
**[05:51] Sakura**
But we need to rehearse!
**[05:52] Saki**
Yeah, later!
**[05:53] Saki**
Why does only shades there get to goof off?
That's what I'm getting at!
**[05:56] Sakura**
We can't!
**[05:58] Saki**
You wanna die?
**[06:00] Saki**
We've been cooped up practicing non-stop!
**[06:03] Saki**
And now we're here in Ureshino!
**[06:06] Lily**
I wanna go for a walk, too!
**[06:07] Saki**
See, shrimpy gets it!
**[06:09] Lily**
I am not shrimpy! My name is Lily!
**[06:12] Yugirin**
A little bit couldn't hurt.
**[06:15] Yugirin**
I'd like to get a look at
what a modern town is like.
**[06:18] Lily**
We've got our makeup on,
and we'll all be together.
**[06:20] Lily**
And we'll be extra careful so
no one finds out we're zombies!
**[06:24] Saki**
Won't we, shrimpy?
**[06:25] Lily**
My name is Lily.
**[06:28] Sakura**
I guess if everyone agrees...
**[06:32] Saki**
Ai, Junko, you two cool with that?
**[06:37] Junko**
I don't know if it's a good idea, but...
***SIGN*** Ureshino Hot Springs
Siebold Baths
***SIGN*** Saga
**[06:54] Sakura**
Junko-chan, Junko-chan!
**[06:56] Sakura**
This fish sculpture is supposed
to help with skin and health!
**[06:59] Sakura**
It says to spread water on it!
**[07:01] Junko**
Let's do it.
**[07:04] Saki**
Damn, they're getting into it...
**[07:04] Sakura**
Come on, more!
**[07:23] Kotaro**
It's a real honor to hear from
Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals.
**[07:28] PR**
The people from the inn
actually told us about you.
**[07:31] Kotaro**
I'm glad I was able to
get a chance to meet you
**[07:34] Kotaro**
thanks to my regular interactions
with different lodgings
**[07:36] Kotaro**
and the chamber of commerce.
**[07:37] PR**
Is running an idol group out of
Saga a lot of trouble nowadays?
**[07:41] Kotaro**
Well, I'd say there are times it feels like
we're fighting the current of history.
**[07:43] Kotaro**
But I like to think that if we're
able to make our mark at all,
**[07:46] Kotaro**
we'll leave a larger impact for it.
**[07:48] PR**
You might be right.
**[07:50] Kotaro**
And through that, we'll revitalize Saga.
**[07:52] Kotaro**
That's what's at the core of
Franchouchou's operations.
**[07:57] PR**
Revitalize Saga...?
**[07:58] Kotaro**
Yes.
**[07:59] Kotaro**
That's why, even though
we're in different fields,
**[08:03] Kotaro**
your company being one of the biggest
in Saga means we look up to you.
**[08:06] PR**
Well, we're actually trying to
widen our potential customer base
**[08:12] PR**
to appeal more to younger people.
**[08:15] Kotaro**
In that case, we'd love to help!
**[08:18] Kotaro**
If we were to become partners,
I'm sure we could meet your expectations.
**[08:22] PR**
I'm looking forward to
tonight's performance.
**[08:25] Kotaro**
That's good to hear.
**[08:27] Kotaro**
I'm sure they're all practicing
their hearts out as we speak...
**[08:31] Kotaro**
Their... hearts... out...
**[08:35] PR**
Is something wrong?
**[08:46] Junko**
I've never used a foot bath before.
**[08:48] Junko**
It feels lovely.
**[08:49] Yugiri**
Downright heavenly.
**[08:51] Sakura**
Feels kinda funny doing this.
**[08:54] Lily**
What do you mean?
**[08:55] Sakura**
If we had never come back as zombies,
**[08:58] Sakura**
we never would've met like this.
**[09:00] Sakura**
We're all from different times.
**[09:02] Saki**
Sure as hell don't feel dead, though.
**[09:05] Saki**
Kinda cool.
**[09:06] Lily**
I bet even if I had been in the same time,
**[09:08] Lily**
I'd never have gone near
anyone like Saki-chan!
**[09:10] Saki**
Stuff it!
**[09:11] Yugiri**
I honestly feel like I'm a child again.
**[09:15] Sakura**
I guess so!
**[09:16] Sakura**
The whole world must seem different.
**[09:18] Ai**
How exactly did we become zombies, though?
**[09:21] Ai**
I thought bodies were cremated in Japan.
**[09:25] Junko**
And just who exactly is Tatsumi-san?
**[09:29] Sakura**
Why's everybody looking at me?!
**[09:30] Ai**
Because you were awake first, remember?
**[09:33] Sakura**
Yeah, but I have no idea!
**[09:35] Saki**
Look, don't sweat the small stuff.
**[09:38] Ai**
And I doubt he'd ever give
us a straight answer...
**[09:40] Saki**
The only thing we can say for sure is that
right now we're using this foot bath, together.
**[09:45] Saki**
See, aren't you glad we came?
**[09:46] Sakura**
Yeah! But we have to practice—
**[09:49] Saki**
I know!
**[09:55] Saki**
Hey, Ai-chan...
**[09:58] Saki**
Do you think we can make it as proper idols?
**[10:02] Ai**
What do you think being a
proper idol means, Sakura?
**[10:06] Sakura**
Well... singing and dancing...
**[10:09] Sakura**
And making people happy.
**[10:11] Sakura**
Making them excited.
**[10:12] Ai**
Well, in that case, we need to
practice and learn a lot more.
**[10:20] Sakura**
Do you think we can if we
practice a whole bunch more?
**[10:40] Sakura**
I... I'm going to do everything I can.
**[10:44] Sakura**
I meant what I said after the guerrilla show!
**[10:50] Saki**
And if I'm in, I'm all the way in.
**[10:55] Yugiri**
I decided a very long time ago to
dedicate myself to entertaining others.
**[11:00] Lily**
I know how hard showbiz can be!
**[11:04] Junko**
I...
**[11:06] Junko**
I worked by myself when I was active.
**[11:08] Junko**
To be honest, there are times when I'm not
sure about being part of a group.
**[11:15] Junko**
But... if the rest of you are
serious about trying this,
**[11:19] Junko**
then I need to do my best as well, don't I?
**[11:22] Sakura**
Junko-chan!
**[11:23] Ai**
But I'm out the second I think
this isn't happening, okay?
**[11:26] Sakura**
I'll make sure you don't ever think that!
**[11:30] Saki**
Hell yeah!
**[11:31] Saki**
Let's give them something to
talk about at today's show!
**[11:34] Lily**
Like, how though? What do you mean?
**[11:36] Saki**
I dunno.
**[11:38] Yugiri**
What can we do to please
our guests tonight...?
**[11:43] Sakura**
Yugiri-san! Phrasing!
**[11:46] Junko**
M-Maybe we should know more
about their product first?
**[11:50] Sakura**
Oh, right! We've never
used Saganship Z before.
**[11:53] Saki**
All right, let's head back and try it out!
**[11:56] Sakura**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga
**[12:09] Saki**
Slapping these things on is supposed
to fix stiff shoulders and back pain?
**[12:13] Junko**
That's the idea.
**[12:14] Saki**
For real?! That's awesome!
**[12:16] Sakura**
There's a warning about
putting them on other people.
***SIGN*** Saganship Z
**[12:19] Sakura**
Says it counts as practicing medicine.
**[12:20] Saki**
Who gives a crap?
**[12:22] Saki**
We're zombies, not people.
**[12:25] Sakura**
I'm... not sure that's...
**[12:28] Sakura**
Hey—
***SIGN*** Administering dermal patches to people

medicine. Please don't try this at home.
**[12:34] Sakura**
Wow! All my muscle fatigue is gone!
**[12:37] Saki**
It's because you're a zombie!
You must absorb stuff faster!
**[12:40] Lily**
Look, look! I can move a whole
bunch and it won't come off!
**[12:46] Saki**
Give it a try, Ai.
**[12:48] Ai**
I'm fine.
**[12:49] Ai**
It's not like I feel tire—

**[12:59] Sakura**
Can we use this in the performance somehow?
**[13:02] Sakura**
Maybe putting them on and then
dancing really energetically?

Everyone, I know you all work
really hard at your jobs!
**[13:29] Sakura**
I hope we can help you all
recover a little bit tonight!
**[13:33] Sakura**
Please have a relaxing night with

Now that's relaxation.
**[15:09] Sakura**
*I'm so glad they liked it.*
**[15:12] Saki**
Hold up, Sakura.
**[15:13] Saki**
Don't take your makeup off yet.
**[15:15] Sakura**
Saki-chan?
**[15:16] Saki**
I can't stand it anymore!
**[15:18] Saki**
Let's hit that hot springs!
**[15:20] Saki**
It'd be crazy to come all
this way and not, y'know?
**[15:22] Sakura**
But if our makeup comes off,
we won't be able to make it back...
**[15:25] Saki**
Nobody's gonna be out this late. Y'know?
**[15:28] Sakura**
Kotaro-san's gonna get mad.
**[15:30] Saki**
Listen to me, Sakura.
**[15:33] Saki**
As long as nobody finds out, we're safe!
**[15:34] Sakura**
And if anyone does, we're out!
**[15:36] Saki**
Which is why it won't happen!
**[15:37] Sakura**
I dunno where all your
confidence comes from...
**[15:41] Saki**
It's because I've gotten into and
out of more trouble than you, girl.
**[15:45] Sakura**
But what about the others?
**[15:46] Sakura**
They'll all want to go in, too.
**[15:47] Saki**
We've gotta make the hard decision here.
**[15:50] Saki**
Less people, less suspicious!
**[15:52] Sakura**
Saki-chan, you're just trying to...
**[16:01] Sakura**
Junko-chan? What's up?
**[16:04] Junko**
I was going to take off my makeup
after you, Minamoto-san.
**[16:08] Junko**
And then...
**[16:09] Sakura**
Oh, we're not going!
**[16:11] Sakura**
It's too risky.
**[16:15] Junko**
I...
**[16:17] Junko**
I'd like to go in the hot spring, too.
**[16:22] Saki**
There you go.
**[16:23] Saki**
It's settled.
**[16:25] Saki**
The water here is supposed
to be great for your skin!
**[16:29] Saki**
Gonna make it nice and shiny!
**[16:31] Saki**
Maybe it'll turn that egghead
of yours shiny and soft-boiled!
**[16:49] Saki**
Come on, move it!
**[16:51] Saki**
We gotta get in and out, quick!
**[16:56] Sakura**
I feel revived...
**[16:58] Junko**
It really does feel that way.
**[17:00] Junko**
Even though we are zombies.
**[17:02] Sakura**
My skin's already looking smoother!
**[17:05] Saki**
It's because we're zombies!
**[17:06] Saki**
We must soak it up faster
since we're zombies!
**[17:08] Sakura**
Amazing!
**[17:09] Saki**
See what I told you?
**[17:10] Saki**
Your egghead's all shiny now.
**[17:15] Saki**
Actually, it kinda looks
like a century egg now.
**[17:21] Junko**
Something just touched me!
**[17:23] Saki**
All right, who's the asshole with
the guts to touch one of our girls?
**[17:29] Saki**
Looks like some kinda sheet.
**[17:33] Saki**
It's Saganship Z.
**[17:35] Saki**
Man, talk about absorbent.
**[17:37] Sakura**
Junko-chan, did you forget to
take the one on your back off?
**[17:41] Junko**
I forgot! I'm sorry.
**[17:46] Saki**
But, y'know... today went
pretty good, right?
**[17:50] Sakura**
I think so, too!
**[17:52] Sakura**
But...
**[17:54] Junko**
Well, the audience was happy,
and that's a good thing.
**[18:01] Junko**
But our performance
still needs a lot of work.
**[18:07] Junko**
Let's work hard. So next time, we can
reach them with just our singing and dancing.
**[18:12] Sakura**
Yeah!
**[18:15] Saki**
Feels like we've gone from
being Marutchi to Tamatchi!
**[18:27] Sakura**
That's the lady from Hisanaka
Pharmaceuticals...
**[18:30] Sakura**
What now?! What do we do?!
**[18:32] Saki**
Go underwater!
**[18:34] Saki**
We're zombies, so we can probably
make it without breathing!
**[18:39] ---**
Hey, wai—
**[18:43] PR**
Who's there?
**[19:01] Saki{garbled}**
Sakura!
**[19:06] Ai**
What was that?
**[19:45] PR**
H-Help me!
**[19:48] Yugiri**
Is something the matter?
**[19:54] Sakura**
Huh? What... What's going on?
**[19:56] Saki**
Explanations later! Room now!
**[20:08] Saki**
Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!
**[20:19] Kotaro**
Thank you so much for this opportunity.
**[20:21] Kotaro**
And, if you decide it's a good idea,
**[20:23] Kotaro**
I look forward to hearing from
you about the partnership.
**[20:30] Staff**
Oh...
**[20:31] Staff**
I'm sorry.
**[20:33] Staff**
She seems to have had quite a scare.
**[20:36] Staff**
The shock's made her forget everything
that happened yesterday.
**[20:41] Kotaro**
Sorry?

**[20:55] Lily**
They wrote about us, huh?
**[20:56] Saki**
Who the hell published that?!
**[20:58] Saki**
Let's find them and lean on them, hard!
**[21:00] Sakura**
I'm sorry...
**[21:02] Sakura**
Next time I'll be more careful.
**[21:06] Yugiri**
Come, now.
**[21:07] Yugiri**
We all used the foot bath together.
**[21:11] Yugiri**
I've never shared a moment like
that with a group before.
**[21:15] Yugiri**
It was a good bit of fun.
**[21:16] Lily**
Yeah! And I think the better we get along,
the better our performances will be!
**[21:21] Sakura**
Yugiri-san... Lily-chan...
**[21:24] Yugiri**
And it's not like we have to
worry about getting tired.
**[21:30] Saki**
Sis is right!
**[21:32] Saki**
We'll make up for this next time.
**[21:34] Sakura**
Yeah!
**[21:35] Saki**
Hell yeah! Let's bust our
asses and earn us a budget!
**[21:39] Everybody**
Yeah!
**[21:41] Ai**
You know the money's just
a means to an end, right?

**[00:00] Sakura**
Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*!
**[00:02] Sakura**
We ran out of budget even though
we've barely done anything yet,
**[00:05] Sakura**
so we took our first offer for a paid job!
**[00:08] Sakura**
It was at a hot springs, of all places!
**[00:10] Sakura**
We got to relax and take in the sights.
It was kinda fun!
**[00:13] Sakura**
The show went great, and we were so excited
**[00:15] Sakura**
we couldn't control our girlish whimsy and
dove into the springs after being told not to!
**[00:19] Sakura**
Then we ran through the inn
with our zombieness exposed,
**[00:21] Sakura**
which ended with our chance for
a partnership going up in smoke!
**[00:23] Sakura**
Sakura really goofed this time!

**[00:41] Kotaro**
Will Franchouchou High School be able to
hold it together through this inning?
**[00:44] Kotaro**
Pitching is their ace, Saki Nikaido!
**[00:47] Kotaro**
This is the first pitch. There it goes!
**[00:49] Kotaro**
Blammo!
**[00:52] Kotaro**
And that's a home ruuuu—
**[00:59] Kotaro**
Owie...
**[01:00] Saki**
That hurt, prick! I'm gonna kill you!
**[01:02] Kotarro**
Dirt... The dirt...
**[01:04] Kotarro**
The dirt... The dirt...
**[01:04] Sakura**
Uh, what exactly are you doing?
**[01:07] Kotaro**
I'm picking up some dirt off the field!
**[01:09] Kotaro**
Competitive fields are cruel, y'know!
**[01:11] Kotaro**
The second you let your guard
down, it can all fall apart!
**[01:14] Sakura**
O-Okay.
**[01:16] Kotaro**
I'm trying to say that if you get lazy,
you're gonna be in for-real trouble,
**[01:19] Kotaro**
you dim-witted zombies!
**[01:21] Kotaro**
You haven't forgotten that little "hey, we're
zombies" mess at the resort, have you?
**[01:25] Sakura**
No.
**[01:26] Kotaro**
You wanna get talked about,
make sure it's because you're idols!
**[01:29] Kotaro**
We haven't gotten any further
operating budget thanks to you!
**[01:31] Ai**
I'm pretty sure that's your fault.
**[01:33] Kotaro**
Well, I happen to have arranged a gig
**[01:36] Kotaro**
that even you slobs will be able
to hit a grand-slam home run with!
**[01:40] Kotaro**
Starting today, we're gonna
try to raise our profile!
**[01:42] Kotaro**
And the first step is having you appear in
a commercial for a certain mega-famous business!
**[01:47] Sakura**
We're getting offers for commercials?
**[01:50] Kotaro**
I know, right?
**[01:51] Kotaro**
You guys are gonna be so shocked
your hearts might start beating!
**[01:54] Kotaro**
Listen up... The mega-famous business
that's hired you for this commercial...

I remember I always got the

Sir, yes, sir!

**[05:09] Prez**
I appreciate you all coming out.
**[05:11] Prez**
I'm looking forward to seeing you
all advertise our restaurant.
**[05:14] Prez**
Why don't we start by heading inside so you
can try some of our signature grilled chicken?
**[05:18] FCC**
Thank y—
**[05:19] Saki**
Sir, yes, sir!
**[05:31] Prez**
Most people think of beef when it
comes to yakiniku-style grilling,
**[05:34] Prez**
but in Saga, it's all about chicken.
**[05:39] Saki**
Sakura! Try some of that sauce,
and the garlic pepper!
**[05:43] Sakura**
Okay.
**[05:44] Saki**
All right, this one's looking pretty good.
**[05:45] Lily**
Hey, I was cooking that one!
**[05:49] Ai**
Why don't you get that one,
Lily? It's already well done.
**[05:52] Lily**
But I was cooking the other one!
**[05:53] Yugiri**
What are you looking at there, Junko-han?
**[05:55] Junko**
The honey and black vinegar
Calpis sounds good...

And that sums up the seven
principals of Drive-In Tori.
**[06:02] Kotaro**
Oh, I see—
**[06:03] Kotaro**
Would it kill you all to listen?!
**[06:06] Prez**
No, it's okay. It's great to see
that they're enjoying the food.
**[06:11] Sakura**
The food really is amazing!
**[06:13] Prez**
I'm glad to hear that.
All our chicken is fresh—
**[06:16] Lily**
Aw, Tae-chan's eating raw chicken!
**[06:22] Prez**
Uh, it's not *that* fresh...
**[06:26] Kotaro**
Now, then...
**[06:27] Kotaro**
Shall we discuss the details of the shoot?
**[06:29] Prez**
Sure.

That looks great on you, Junko-chan!
**[06:47] Junko**

That was good.
**[09:12] AD**
All right, we're gonna run
a check on that take!
**[09:14] Sakura**
The idea you had about changing
the harmony did the trick.
**[09:19] Director**
Okay.
**[09:20] AD**
Okay, that last take was good!
**[09:24] Junko**
That's good to hear.
**[09:25] Kotaro**

You're chickens right now!
**[09:39] Kotaro**
Am I wrong, Junko?!
**[09:41] Junko**
No!
**[09:42] Kotaro**
Then you need to chicken it up!
**[09:45] Kotaro**
I'm not seeing any chicken authenticity!
**[09:49] Kotaro**
The intensity of a chicken as it's
being cooked on a mesh grill!
**[09:52] Kotaro**
The crow of its soul!
**[09:55] Saki**
Shades might be right.
**[09:59] Saki**
We...
**[10:01] Saki**
We haven't become real chickens!

These girls can do it if you
give them a chance, director!
**[10:11] Kotaro**
Please, let them try again!
**[10:13] Saki**
Look at that!

How are you in any way a Saga jeune?!
**[12:29] Ai**
What is your problem?!
**[12:31] Kotaro**
Dirt...
**[12:34] Kotaro**
Listen up! None of you are even close
to cutting it as Saga jeunes yet!
**[12:37] Kotaro**
Like a bunch of hick zombies using
your sleeves to wipe your snot!
**[12:40] Kotaro**
However! I've found a way
for even you to become
**[12:43] Kotaro**
Saga jeunes who can compete
with even Parisian jeunes!
**[12:46] Kotaro**
You're gonna participate in the Gatalympics!

**[13:39] Junko**
I-I made sure not to pop out, though!
**[13:42] Lily**
I seriously hate this.
**[13:44] Yugiri**
It's for the sake of advertising.
You'll have to bear it.

Well, now people can see what they say!

What's our next contestant's name?

Uh... Kotaro Tatsumi.

Why isn't he wearing one of the shirts?!

Can we hear your thoughts
going into the race?

This is good! He can talk about the group!

Uh... I'm gonna do my best.

Anything else?

Uh, nope.

**[17:22] Junko**
They're not going to be able
to see the T-shirts anyway.
**[17:25] Sakura**
True enough...
**[17:26] Yugiri**
If we can make it over there,
we might be able to manage something.
**[17:34] Ai**
That might actually be the best
way of reaching the crowd.
**[17:37] Saki**
Sounds good! Let's aim for the top!
**[17:40] Sakura**
It's the only choice we have!
**[17:43] MC**
Next contestant, come on down!
**[17:48] Sakura**
I get the feeling Ai-chan
can pull this off...
**[17:55] Host**
* That's a distance of 5*
* meters and 20 centimeters!*
**[17:58] Host**
*Doesn't amount to much!*
**[18:01] Ai**
Say something!
**[18:05] Junko**
This is higher up than I thought...
**[18:17] Saki**
Hell yeah!
**[18:18] Saki**
Right to the top!
**[18:27] Saki**
*The distance is... three meters.*
**[18:30] Lily**
You're supposed to jump forward.

Get 'em, Big Sis Yugiri!

*The lowest score in today's games!*

Yeah, that's not impressing anybody.

Previously on *Zombie Land Saga*...
**[00:02] Sakura**
After messing up our first paid job, we were
lucky enough to get another big chance!
**[00:05] Sakura**
We appeared in a commercial for Drive-In
Tori to earn some funds and some notoriety,
**[00:09] Sakura**
and worked our tail feathers
off to become chickens!
**[00:11] Sakura**
And then, in pursuit of more fame,
**[00:14] Sakura**
we participated in the Gatalympics, and worked
hard to memorize exactly what mud tastes like!
**[00:17] Sakura**
I bet chicken and mud are total
must-haves for being an idol!
**[00:20] Sakura**
People are bound to have
heard of Franchouchou now!
**[00:23] Sakura**
Wait, hold on... is this
seriously good enough?
**[00:25] Sakura**
It is, right? We're gonna be fine, right?!

We're still going a little
too slow at this part.
**[01:16] Junko**
I'm sorry...
**[01:18] Ai**
It's okay. I'll just match up with you.

You two are out in front this time.

Wait... does that mean that right now...
**[05:09] Ai**
Even if that's the case,
we still have to try our best.
**[05:13] Ai**
Right?

**[05:24] Sakura**
There're so many!
**[05:26] Ai**
Let's start by looking into
anything that seems interesting.
**[05:29] Saki**
What's "Saga Rock"?!
**[05:31] Saki**
Sounds cool!
**[05:32] Sakura**
Do you like rock, Saki-chan?
**[05:34] Saki**
Hell yeah!
**[05:35] Saki**
Everyone knows how Mentai Rock
is a big deal in Kyushu!
**[05:38] Sakura**
What's that?
**[05:39] Saki**
You wanna die?
**[05:41] Sakura**
You're really aggressive...
**[05:44] Ai**
The Saga Rock Festival is the largest
outdoor rock event in Kyushu.
**[05:48] Saki**
Seriously?! We gotta get in on that!
**[05:51] Ai**
Well, there's no problem with getting
onto a bigger stage, but...
**[05:55] Sakura**
It must be amazing to be on stage
with so many people in the audience.
**[06:00] Lily**
I'm totally used to it thanks
to press presentations!
**[06:03] Sakura**
Let's do a good job!
**[06:05] Sakura**
I bet if we practice a lot,
we'll all make it up there some day!
**[06:08] Junko**
It's not that easy.
**[06:10] Junko**
Performing a concert at a venue of this size
requires a comparable amount of work.
**[06:17] Sakura**
Y-Yeah.
**[06:19] Junko**
It's better to take one diligent step at
a time instead of fixating on big dreams.
**[06:24] Sakura**
Sorry...
**[06:26] Ai**
I get what you mean, but our time
frame is much shorter what others had.
**[06:31] Ai**
The main thing is to find a way
to get your name out there...
***SIGN*** I mean, the group I used to be in was performing
**[06:37] Ai**
in front of audiences in the tens of thousands
**[06:39] Ai**
a year after our debut.
**[06:41] Junko**
Only a year?!
**[06:42] Junko**
And you were able to impress
an audience that big?
**[06:47] Ai**
If you're trying to be perfect from the
get-go, you won't be able to manage anything.
**[06:50] Ai**
If anything, a lot of fans like
seeing groups improve over time,
**[06:54] Ai**
and contribute to that growth.
**[06:56] Junko**
That's...
**[06:57] Ai**
Of course, that doesn't mean we
don't try our hardest every time.

**[08:01] Kotaro**
It turns out that Franchouchou...
**[08:05] Kotaro**

**[08:08] Kotaro**
The Drive-In Tori commercial and
Gatalympics footage have been uploaded online,
**[08:13] Kotaro**
and there's just a little
bit of chat about you all!
**[08:16] Sakura**
There is?
**[08:17] Saki**
I told you! I told you guys Drive

**[08:21] Ai**
Well, good or bad, at least
we've got some attention now.
**[08:24] Ai**
What're you talking about?
**[08:27] Ai**
This is all because you're gems
that sparkle with polish.
**[08:31] Ai**
Very nicely done...
**[08:32] Ai**
Drive-In Tori! Like that?
**[08:35] Sakura**
Oh, that's not the right pose.
**[08:38] Sakura**
It's like this.
**[08:39] Sakura**
Tori!
**[08:41] Kotaro**
Oh, I get it.
**[08:43] Kotaro**
Tori!
**[08:45] Sakura**
No, like, Tori!
**[08:48] Kotaro**
Oh, okay!
**[08:50] Kotaro**
Tori!
**[08:51] Sakura**
No, see, I just showed you...
**[08:52] Kotaro**
It doesn't freaking matter!
**[08:54] Kotaro**
Why exactly do I have to master your dance?!
**[08:58] Kotaro**
Don't look down your pointy
nose at me just because
**[09:00] Kotaro**
you've got a little buzz,
you Pinocchio-ass zombie!
**[09:01] Sakura**
Pinocchio...
**[09:03] Kotaro**
Sit your pointy nose down!
**[09:06] Kotaro**
That being the case,
**[09:08] Kotaro**
I want you all to start interacting
with your fans as soon as possible.
**[09:13] Saki**
Right away again, huh?
**[09:15] Kotaro**
I announced it on the homepage already!
**[09:17] Junko**
Uh, when you say interacting...
**[09:20] Kotaro**
Gotta start with photo ops, I figure.
**[09:23] Junko**
Minamoto-san, what exactly does he mean?
**[09:27] Skaura**
Well, there are probably gonna be people
with instant cameras, not digital.
**[09:33] Junko**
Digital...?
**[09:34] Sakura**
How do I describe it...
**[09:36] Sakura**
They let you look at the
pictures right away.
**[09:39] Junko**
Oh, like Polaroids?
**[09:42] Junko**
So we're going to be taking
glamour shots with Polaroids...
**[09:47] Sakura**
It's not exactly that formal...
**[09:49] Ai**
That's basically it, though.
**[09:51] Sakura**
It is?!
**[09:53] Ai**
Usually there's a mini concert
and merchandise sales first.
**[09:58] Sakura**
Merchandise...

Are you following all this?
**[10:07] Yugiri**
Well, getting confused by what's
going on won't help things,

so I've decided to just accept
things as they come.

*People really showed up!*
**[10:47] Sakura**
*We've got fans now!*
**[10:50] Saki**
W-Well, y'know,
**[10:53] Saki**
today is a photo op session
with Franchouchou,
**[10:56] Saki**
and it's crazy to think
you all came to see us...
**[11:00] Saki**
So, like...
**[11:01] Saki**
Thanks!
**[11:03] Audience**
That was great!
**[11:05] Audience**

It's Cocco-san, damn it!

First will be the pair of

**[11:47] Signs**
and then Numbers 2 and 3.
**[11:50] Junko**
What... is this?
**[11:53] Ai**
You take pictures with people
who line up for you.
**[12:00] Saki**
Hey there.
**[12:01] Ai**
Thank you.
**[12:03] Lily**
You ready?!
**[12:10] Kotaro**
Here we go, okay!
**[12:15] Ai**
*What... was that?*
**[12:17] Kotaro**
Next is going to be the trio of
Number 4, Number 5, and Number 6!
**[12:21] Kotaro**
For Number 5, we'll be taking them in front
of this gold folding screen.
**[12:22] Crowd**
Number 4, it's your turn!
**[12:25] Junko**
I can't...
**[12:27] Junko**
I can't do this...
**[12:29] Sakura**
Junko-chan?
**[12:30] Ai**
What are you saying? Come on.
**[12:32] Junko**
No!
**[12:34] Ai**
You've got the most people in
your line! Don't you see that?
**[12:38] Junko**
Being an idol is about dazzling
people from up on a stage!
**[12:41] Junko**
How is this anything like that?!
**[12:45] Inbubashi**
What?
**[12:47] ---**
What's going on?
**[12:48] ---**
What's up?
**[12:53] Kotaro**
What the hell was that?!
**[12:56] Kotaro**
I am so disappointed in you all!
**[12:58] Kotaro**
Y'know how disappointed I am?
**[13:01] Kotaro**
If I had to give a metaphor, it's like...
**[13:03] Kotaro**
Y'know!
**[13:07] Kotaro**
You dumbasses!
**[13:11] Kotaro**
Ugh!
**[13:14] Ai**
You understood what you did, right, Junko?
**[13:18] Ai**
Running out on a job
doesn't just affect you.
**[13:21] Junko**
That's part of the job?
**[13:24] Ai**
A big part of it.
**[13:25] Junko**
But it was so brazen.
**[13:27] Junko**
I don't want to do it.
**[13:29] Ai**
Listen.
**[13:30] Ai**
We need people to learn who we are,
and then feel like we're within reach.
**[13:36] Junko**
That's the thing!
**[13:38] Junko**
And when you bragged about being
so successful after only one year,
**[13:41] Junko**
do people really think they can just
placate the fans instead of paying their dues?
**[13:46] Ai**
When did I ever say that?
Are you trying to start something?
**[13:49] Saki**
Leave it at that.
**[13:51] Sakura**
Ai-chan, Junko-chan...
**[13:53] Junko**
I'm just saying we need to think about
what our relationship with our fans is.
**[13:56] Ai**
You're the one who doesn't seem to
understand what that relationship is.
**[13:59] Sakura**
What do we do?! What do we do?!
**[14:00] Junko**
We might both talk about
"being supported by fans," Mizuno-san,
**[14:04] Junko**
but I think we mean something
totally different!
**[14:06] Junko**
An idol shouldn't be dependent
on the good will of fans!
**[14:09] Ai**
That sort of above-it-all
pride is too old-fashioned!
**[14:12] Junko**
You're not exactly current
yourself, you know!
**[14:16] Lily**
Please stop!
**[14:22] Ai**
If we're going to be
serious about being idols,
**[14:25] Ai**
then thinking like that
is going to be a problem.
**[14:35] Saki**
Don't you think that's going overboard?
**[14:39] Saki**
Hey! Ai!
**[14:42] Saki**
Damn it...

I am not going to be history yet.
**[15:26] Saki**
You two oughta just bury the
hatchet and get over this.
**[15:30] Saki**
Let's just say both sides were wrong.
**[15:32] Lily**
I think so, too.
**[15:34] Ai**
I don't see how any of
what I said was wrong.
**[15:38] Yugiri**
There are plenty of fights that start
because both sides have a good point.
**[15:43] Ai**
I thought you were all serious
about becoming idols.
**[15:47] Lily**
It's because we are that we
want you two to get along!
**[15:49] Ai**
You can't get by as idols just
by playing friends all the time!
**[15:52] Ai**
You were in show business, too.
Don't you realize that?!
**[15:56] Saki**
Get out of shrimpy's face!
**[16:00] Saki**
Damn it, get back here!
**[16:02] Yugiri**
I wouldn't worry.
**[16:04] Yugiri**
Things will settle down soon enough.
**[16:06] Yugiri**
Won't they, Leader?
**[16:09] Saki**
Damn it, what a pain in the ass!

**[16:39] Sakura**
Leave it to me!
**[16:41] Junko**
Minamoto-san?
**[16:51] Sakura**
You're from a generation
earlier than me, huh?
**[16:55] Junko**
I'd say maybe two.
**[16:57] Junko**
I should really be an old lady by now.
**[17:00] Sakura**
I was just thinking about how I never really
asked about what kind of idol you were.
**[17:06] Junko**
In my time, there was no
personal interaction with fans.
**[17:12] Junko**
Maybe meet and greets at the most, but...
**[17:15] Junko**
Whether it was the stage and the seats,
**[17:18] Junko**
or on the tube and in front of the tea
table, there was a clear boundary.
**[17:22] Sakura**
Wait, the tea table and the tube?
**[17:25] Sakura**
What tube?
**[17:26] Junko**
It's an idol's job to give people dreams.
**[17:29] Junko**
I can't imagine giving the fans a
chance to see any imperfections.
**[17:34] Junko**
At least, that's how it was
for the idols I knew...
**[17:39] Junko**
And much like how I once looked up to them,
**[17:42] Junko**
I wanted to be someone that
others could look up to...
**[17:46] Junko**
That was my motivation for
working so hard, day after day.
**[17:50] Junko**
I was finally starting to feel like
I had accomplished that myself.
**[17:53] Junko**
I imagined a future where
I would continue to do so.
**[17:57] Junko**
Then, when we were headed to
Saga for my first tour in Kyushu...
**[18:09] Junko**
And that was that.
**[18:10] Sakura**
Junko-chan...
**[18:12] Junko**
Not just anyone can be an idol.
**[18:15] Junko**
Much less a zombie...
**[18:18] Junko**
And if my approach is in the way...
**[18:23] Junko**
Minamoto-san...
**[18:24] Junko**
I don't think I can stay in Franchouchou.
**[18:46] Saki**
Ai!
**[18:55] Saki**
Ai?
**[18:56] Saki**
Ai! What's up?!
**[18:57] Saki**
Hey!
**[19:04] Saki**
Well, this is messed up...
**[19:08] Saki**
You've got a hell of a look on your face.
**[19:10] Saki**
I guess I do, too, though.
**[19:12] Saki**
If I'm being real, I don't get any
of this idol or fan stuff, y'know?
**[19:17] Saki**
But when you do anything,
it's all about guts.
**[19:19] Saki**
And then comes your crew.
**[19:20] Saki**
That's all you've really got...
**[19:25] Saki**
Kinda surprised. You being
scared of lightning...
**[19:28] Ai**
It's how I died.
**[19:59] Saki**
Holy crap, girl...
**[20:01] Saki**
That's actually legendary.
**[20:03] Ai**
That's really not the
kind of legend I wanted.

**[00:00] Sakura**
Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*...
**[00:02] Sakura**
You can ask me about what kind of
relationship idols and fans should have,
**[00:04] Sakura**
but I sure as heck don't have a good answer!
**[00:06] Sakura**
And Ai-chan and Junko-chan
got into a huge fight over it!
**[00:10] Sakura**
I wish they'd worry more about their own
relationship than their relationship with fans!
**[00:13] Sakura**
That was a joke! Just a Sakura joke!
**[00:15] Sakura**
And wouldn't you know it?
**[00:17] Sakura**
We got the news Franchouchou
would be performing at Saga Rock!
**[00:19] Sakura**
The best news ever at the
worst possible time!
**[00:21] Sakura**
I seriously have no idea what to do!
**[00:24] Sakura**
Hawawagh! Or maybe even dwawawargh, y'know?!
**[00:30] Saki**
We seriously gotta start practicing
or we're gonna run out of time.
**[00:33] Sakura**
But I don't think we should
do it without Junko-chan...
**[00:37] Saki**
So you're just gonna leave Ai alone?
**[00:38] Saki**
She said she was gonna practice,
even if it was by herself.
**[00:42] Sakura**
I really don't know what to do.
**[00:45] Saki**
Damn it... What do you think, shrimpy?
**[00:48] Lily**
I think we should do the show,
no matter what.
**[00:51] Lily**
It'd be a huge waste if we let
a chance like this pass us by.
**[00:54] Lily**
Of course, I'd rather Junko-chan
be with us, but...
**[00:58] Saki**
How about you, Tae?
**[01:02] Saki**
And you, Sis?
**[01:05] Yugiri**
It's a good question...
**[01:08] Yugiri**
I can't help but wonder if there's
a way to get through to Junko-han.

**[01:25] Saki**
Okay! Let's just drag her ass out!
**[01:28] Sakura**
No, I think that'd just make it worse!
**[01:30] Saki**
Okay! Forget it!
**[01:31] Lily**
So which is it?
**[01:34] Saki**
Damn it all! What are we gonna do?!
**[01:34] Sakura**
But Lily-chan, if we do appear at
Saga Rock, what about afterwards?
**[01:40] Sakura**
Will we be going on without Junko-chan?
**[01:43] Lily**
I don't want it to turn out that way, but...
**[01:45] Lily**
Even if she hears that we didn't get
to go on stage at Saga Rock,
**[01:49] Lily**
I get the feeling Junko-chan
won't ever come back to us.
**[01:53] Sakura**
What do we do...?
**[01:55] Yugiri**
You're more mature than you
look at times, Lily-han.
**[02:00] Sakura**
I think we should ask Kotaro-san!
**[02:02] Saki**
Don't bother. He's totally useless.
**[02:05] Sakura**
It's fine! Once he sees what's
going on, I'm sure he'll—
**[02:09] Kotaro**
Figure it out your own damn self,
you dumbass zombie!
**[02:14] Saki**
Told you.

**[02:23] Intro**
Even if we're dead, we want to
make our dreams come true...
**[02:25] Intro**
No, even if we're dead,
we will make them come true!
**[02:28] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?

we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!

Because that is our saga!
**[03:57] Ai**
What's taken you so long?
**[03:59] Sakura**
Sorry...
**[04:00] Ai**
We need to work on the timing
for our moves right away.
**[04:02] Ai**
We need to pick up the pace
if we're going to make it.
**[04:04] Sakura**
O-Okay.
**[04:07] Ai**
What?
**[04:08] Sakura**
Maybe we should talk to her...
**[04:10] Ai**
Would you get a grip?
**[04:12] Ai**
We need every last minute to rehearse.
**[04:15] Ai**
We're already zombies, which means
there's no telling what might happen...
**[04:18] Sakura**
But the new song's built around
solos with you and Junko-chan.
**[04:23] Ai**
I'll have to sing Junko's part.
**[04:25] Sakura**
On your own?!
**[04:26] Ai**
Let's just get started.
**[04:28] Ai**
You gonna be okay, Ai?
**[04:29] Ai**
What else can we do?!
**[04:31] Ai**
She's the one who has to
figure her own stuff out!
**[04:34] Saki**
I was talking about you, girl.
**[04:40] Ai**
I can't worry about anything else right now.

**[05:31] Sakura**
But...
**[05:33] Ai**
Tomorrow's the show.
**[05:34] Ai**
Let's work on our final preparations.
**[05:53] Kotaro**
Kicky blammo!
**[05:56] Kotaro**
Zombies are supposed to be on the other
side of the barricades, dumbass!
**[06:12] Kotaro**
Sorry. How are you feeling, physically?
**[06:16] Junko**
Other than being dead, fine...
**[06:19] Kotaro**
Don't you think it's time
you got out of here?
**[06:22] Junko**
I just don't understand idols anymore.
**[06:25] Kotaro**
You were on the net in my room, right?
**[06:27] Junko**
Net...?
**[06:29] Kotaro**
As in the internet.
**[06:31] Kotaro**
You used the computer, right?
**[06:33] Kotaro**
I'm not mad.
**[06:35] Kotaro**
It's been thirty years since you died,
**[06:38] Kotaro**
and things have changed a lot.
**[06:41] Junko**
I really was shocked.
**[06:43] Kotaro**
There are things that have
become more convenient,
**[06:45] Kotaro**
but they have their share of downsides.
**[06:48] Kotaro**
Everyone having a connected device has made
it so that anyone can post information...
**[06:53] Kotaro**
but that makes it harder
to keep anything private.
**[06:56] Kotaro**
That sometimes means
the private lives of idols.
**[06:59] Kotaro**
In the Showa period, stuff that would
amount to the scandal of a lifetime
**[07:03] Kotaro**
leaks onto the internet almost every day.
**[07:08] Kotaro**
But in spite of the risk that
kind of exposure brings,
**[07:10] Kotaro**
there are still idols who are at work.
**[07:14] Kotaro**
And there's one other thing...
**[07:16] Kotaro**
The biggest change in regard to how idols
operate is the closeness with their fans.
**[07:21] Kotaro**
The concept of "an idol you can see
at any time" changed the industry,
**[07:26] Kotaro**
and the physical distance
between both sides has shrunk.
**[07:29] Kotaro**
Which you saw at the photo session.
**[07:32] Kotaro**
But... not everything is different.
**[07:36] Kotaro**
Wanting to help fans dream.
**[07:38] Kotaro**
Wanting to make them
smile with dance and song.
**[07:40] Kotaro**
The core nature of being an idol
hasn't changed since the old days.
**[07:43] Kotaro**
If you think the people who try to
become idols now are any less noble,
**[07:49] Kotaro**
then you're wrong.
**[07:50] Kotaro**
Times have changed and, as a result,
the type of idol people seek has changed.
**[07:55] Junko**
I understand things are different now.
**[07:58] Junko**
But I just... can't do it.
**[08:02] Kotaro**
Then don't.
**[08:05] Kotaro**
If you don't want to do photo sessions,
turn them down.
**[08:08] Kotaro**
There's no need to force
yourself to conform.
**[08:10] Junko**
But Ai-san said...
**[08:11] Kotaro**
Just tell her, "That's my character."
**[08:14] Junko**
Character?
**[08:15] Kotaro**
Right.
**[08:16] Kotaro**
There are things that make Ai herself,
and things that make you different.
**[08:20] Kotaro**
You girls are zombies, not robots.
**[08:23] Kotaro**
Show the members of your group
and the fans what you can do
**[08:28] Kotaro**
while adhering to the style of
an idol from the Showa period.
**[08:38] Kotaro**
That said, it'd be difficult to do
that on your own at the moment.
**[08:42] Kotaro**
And, as a zombie, there's not much
you can count on for support.
**[08:46] Kotaro**
In order to make up for
how extreme your quirks are,
**[08:48] Kotaro**
you'll need your zombie comrades.
**[08:53] Kotaro**
Remember this...
**[08:54] Kotaro**
Franchouchou exists to
support each other's wishes,
**[08:57] Kotaro**
in spite of the different times they're from.
**[09:00] Kotaro**
If you open up to them, they will help you.
**[09:04] Kotaro**
When that happens, think about
what you can do to repay them.
**[09:10] Kotaro**
Tomorrow's forecast is clear in the
morning with afternoon clouds
**[09:13] Kotaro**
and potential thunderstorms.
**[09:16] Kotaro**
There'll be a storm at Saga Rock.
**[09:18] Kotaro**
Ai Mizuno was killed by a lightning strike
while performing on an outdoor stage.
**[09:23] Kotaro**
You're not the only one
who's fighting against nerves!
**[09:28] Kotaro**
If you're an idol, you belong on stage,
Junko Konno!
**[09:32] Kotaro**
When you've found your nerve, open that box.
**[09:37] Kotaro**
And fix the door.
**[10:10] Ai**
I'm seeing things...
**[10:11] Saki**
Get some rest.
**[10:14] Ai**
My body...
**[10:15] Ai**
I can't stop it from reacting
**[10:18] Ai**
because of my memories of what happened.
**[10:20] Saki**
You're pushing yourself too hard.
**[10:23] Ai**
I can't let this beat me.
**[10:25] Ai**
When we were on stage that day...
**[10:27] Ai**
Our CD had finally become
a bestseller in Japan.
**[10:31] Ai**
It felt like we were just
really getting started...
**[10:35] Ai**
We have to work hard to get
as many fans as possible
**[10:39] Ai**
so I can get back to where I was.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Junko**
I'm sorry.
**[10:53] (Flashback) Junko**
I was too slow.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Ai**
It's okay. I'll just match up with you.

I guess she's not coming...
**[11:21] Lily**
We're running out of time!
**[11:27] Kotaro**
Time's up. Get in.
**[11:29] Sakura**
But...
**[11:30] Kotaro**
Get in.
**[11:54] Sakura**
Junko-chan!
**[11:55] Junko**
Wait, please!
**[11:56] Junko**
I want to go with—
**[12:07] Sakura**
*Huh? Why do I feel déjà vu?*
**[12:12] Sakura**
Junko-chan!
**[12:13] Kotaro**
Don't help her!
**[12:13] Sakura**
Why not?!
**[12:15] Kotaro**
On your feet, Junko!
**[12:17] Kotaro**
You're not the type of girl who would
let something like this stop you!
**[12:19] Saki**
You hit her with a freaking van!
**[12:23] Junko**
I'm going, too...
**[12:26] Junko**
because... I'm an idol!
**[12:32] Junko**
I'm the Showa idol, Junko Konno!

I might go too deep and get tired out!
**[15:09] [SONG] Iron Frill**
You are the coral reef I've dreamed about!
**[15:12] [SONG] Iron Frill**
At first it might seem hazy
**[15:15] [SONG] Iron Frill**
But the smile you gave me
when you looked my way
**[15:17] [SONG] Iron Frill**
Was more beautiful than any prism!
**[15:20] [SONG] Iron Frill**
Just a little bit more!

That's how close I want to be to you.

The current act is still on stage!
**[16:19] Saki**
Oh, sorry.

Ohsry...

Even Tae-chan follows you.

Okay, form up.

I'm super glad we're all here today!

Okay, not missing much, then.
**[17:40] Saki**
Hey! We're Franchouchou!
**[17:43] Saki**
Uh, I was born and died in Saga...
**[17:46] Saki**
Wait, I mean, like, it felt like I died...
**[17:48] Saki**
And then, I met these girls...
**[17:50] Saki**
And so, like... that's why
I love Saga! That's all!
**[18:14] Crowd**
They seem really tense.
**[18:16] Crowd**
Is that how it's supposed to look?
**[18:18] Crowd**
This is hard to watch. Give me a break.
**[18:21] Ai**
*Calm down, you can do this... You have to!*
**[18:30] [SONG] Ai**
We never came to—
**[18:34] [SONG] Ai**
Never seeming to connect...
**[18:37] [SONG] Ai**
Even when we were friendly,
we never saw eye to eye...
**[18:42] [SONG] Ai**
And... after it all...
**[18:46] [SONG] Ai**
The pride...
**[18:48] [SONG] FCC**
(Gets in the way)

And our hearts... mixed up...

Feels like I want to... just...

What's going on?
**[18:54] Dudes**
Is she scared of the lightning?
**[18:55] Ai**
Throw it all away...
**[18:58] Ai**
I can't—
**[18:58] [SONG] Junko**
I can't stand it anymore!
**[19:07] Junko**
It's all right. I'll back you up.

Questioning myself? No, no, no!
**[19:19] [SONG] FCC**
Ah, just open your eyes!

As we dance for all we're good for!

I know we can make everyone smile!
**[19:49] [SONG] FCC**
We can do it! As blindingly
bright as it might be,
**[19:51] [SONG] FCC**
We'll reach out and grasp that light!
**[19:59] [SONG] FCC**
Just have to give it our all!
**[20:01] [SONG] FCC**
Trusting in the beat of our hearts!
**[20:04] [SONG] FCC**
Falling but getting back up!
**[20:07] [SONG] FCC**
Dying but rising up again!
**[20:09] [SONG] FCC**
Holding the hands I see
from across the ages—
**[20:13] [SONG] FCC**
And going beyond!
**[20:31] Ai**
We're fine...?
**[20:33] Junko**
Because we're zombies.
**[20:37] Staff**
Stay calm and check everything!
The current act should—
**[20:40] Kotaro**
That won't be necessary.
**[20:42] Kotaro**
Start the music!
**[20:54] [SONG] FCC**
Awaken returner! You just have to want it
**[20:57] [SONG] FCC**
A miracle that you're longing to feel!
**[21:10] [SONG] FCC**
When were my dreams filled
with that yearning?
**[21:13] [SONG] FCC**
Was it all just a story hidden in my heart?
**[21:17] [SONG] FCC**
Wanna succeed so gotta get it right!
**[21:18] [SONG] FCC**
Never gonna stop, so gotta proceed!
**[21:20] [SONG] FCC**
Giving my all to walk this way!
**[21:21] [SONG] FCC**
Heading straight down the
path to a gentle future!
**[21:26] [SONG] FCC**
I'm not sure if I can keep walking...
**[21:31] [SONG] FCC**
That can't be true, and you know it!
**[21:34] [SONG] FCC**
Just take a look around and
around and around and around...
**[21:38] Dudes**
Round and around!

So we could stomp together!

You're not alone!

Awaken returner! You just have to want it!

A feeling that starts to shine with light!
**[21:57] [SONG] FCC**
Awaken returner! Just hope for it!
**[22:00] [SONG] FCC**
A lovely type of new thrill...

the best and the highest
**[22:06] [SONG] FCC**
There's not a thing to fear,
not a single one!

Now they look like real idols.

It's finally begun...

Keep it together, now.

Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*...
**[00:02] Sakura**
Ai-chan and Junko-chan got into a
huge fight right before Saga Rock!
**[00:05] Sakura**
Ai-chan was grrr, grrr and
Junko-chan was sob, sob
**[00:07] Sakura**
and I was totally whoa,
whoa about what to do!
**[00:09] Sakura**
But then, on the day of Saga Rock,
Junko-chan's idol spirit was all rumble rumble
**[00:12] Sakura**
which left me totally sniffle, sniffle!
**[00:14] Sakura**
Even though the thunder
was going boom, boom,
**[00:16] Sakura**
we had our first ba-dump, ba-dump
show in front of a huge crowd!
**[00:18] Sakura**
There was trouble that made us go
eek, eek, but we worked together
**[00:20] Sakura**
and the performance was
a huge yay, yay success!
**[00:21] Sakura**
And now, Franchouchou's legend can begin...
**[00:25] Sakura**
Or... so I hope.
**[00:28] Sakura**
Look, look, Saki-chan, there we are!

You were so tiny I didn't see you.

I wasn't asking you, Saki-chan!

I think you were dazzling.

Good morning.
**[03:58] Kotaro**
Well, Franchouchou,
good job getting that writeup.
**[04:02] Kotaro**
How about it, Junko?
**[04:03] Kotaro**
Any thoughts, looking back on Saga Rock?
**[04:06] Junko**
Well.. I guess... It felt like
a glimpse of some potential.
**[04:10] Kotaro**
It totally did, didn't it?!
**[04:13] Kotaro**
You girls are riding a wave
of interest right now.
**[04:16] Sakura**
*Junko-chan...*
**[04:18] Kotaro**
How about it, Sakura?
Are you enjoying the ride?
**[04:21] Sakura**
Uh... well...
**[04:23] Sakura**
Aren't you gonna tell me
not to get carried awa—
**[04:25] Kotaro**
Get carried away, dumbass!
**[04:27] Kotaro**
You get in a magazine,
you're allowed to get carried away!
**[04:29] Kotaro**
You get to stick that Pinocchio
nose of yours high in the air,
**[04:31] Kotaro**
so it's the highest point
on the big wave you've caught!
**[04:37] Kotaro**
How about it, Lily?
**[04:38] Kotaro**
You enjoying the ride?
**[04:39] Kotaro**
That star gonna start growing?
**[04:41] Lily**
No!
**[04:43] Kotaro**
Huh? Why not?
**[04:45] Kotaro**
Huh? Why for?
**[04:47] Kotaro**
It's not gonna get bigger?
**[04:48] Kotaro**
How come?
**[04:49] Kotaro**
Big as the boulder in Kyoseki Park!
**[04:51] Kotaro**
Y'know?
**[04:52] Saki**
You're seriously freaking
her out, so give it a rest!
**[04:58] Kotaro**
Teehee!
**[04:59] Kotaro**
Listen up. Since you're
zombies, you have to use
**[05:02] Kotaro**
anything you can to your
advantage, including miracles.
**[05:04] Kotaro**
The next step is to become a
group that everyone in Saga,
**[05:07] Kotaro**
from the elderly to little
kids, knows about.
**[05:09] Kotaro**
That means community events,
mini concerts, local TV...
**[05:11] Kotaro**
You're gonna be doing
anything and everything.

Maybe shades got himself a shady loan
and now this guy's here to collect.

Y'know it's no touching allowed, pops!
**[07:50] Dad**
Sorry.
**[07:51] Dad**
She just... looks so much like...
**[07:54] Saki**
Looks like who?
**[07:56] Dad**
Seven years ago, there was child star
who used to be on TV a lot... Lily Hoshikawa.
**[08:11] Ai**
What happened to Lily could
happen to any of us.
**[08:14] Ai**
Especially for myself and Junko.
**[08:16] Junko**
You're right... Even if our names aren't public,
it is cause for concern.
**[08:20] Yugiri**
It's a shame how having a job that puts you
on display is as dangerous as it's ever been...
**[08:28] Saki**
Damn it, what a drag!
**[08:30] Sakura**
Isn't Lily-chan late coming
back from washing up?
**[08:39] Sakura**
I was surprised when you
weren't over by the faucet.
**[08:43] Sakura**
Lily-chan?
**[08:45] Lily**
Sakura-chan... that man from this morning...
**[08:49] Lily**
That's my actual pappy.
**[08:54] Sakura**
The yak?!
**[08:55] Lily**
The who?
**[08:56] Sakura**
But he was freaking huge!
**[08:59] Lily**
I take more after my mommy.
**[09:02] Lily**
I didn't even think he'd ever show up...
**[09:06] Sakura**
You didn't?
**[09:08] Lily**
To be honest, I was trying
to forget about him...
**[09:13] Lily**
But Pappy...
**[09:17] Lily**
It was just the two of us, see?
**[09:19] Lily**
But I was never lonely.
**[09:23] Lily**
I knew that Mommy was looking
down on us from the sky.
**[09:27] Lily**
And we had a TV.
**[09:30] Lily**
He really loved TV!
**[09:32] Lily**
He said it was great to
watch it with someone...
**[09:36] Lily**
He always talked about how much fun it
was to laugh and cry alongside someone.
**[09:41] Lily**
He'd always make me sit next to him!
**[09:44] Lily**
He could be so silly,
**[09:47] Lily**
but I loved seeing how much he enjoyed TV.
**[09:52] Lily**
That's why I thought...
**[09:53] Lily**
It'd be great if I could make
him smile from inside the TV.
**[09:57] Lily**
When I signed up for a children's talent
agency, he quit his job to be my manager.
**[10:02] Lily**
So he was always with
me when there was work.
**[10:06] Lily**
I was cute and great at
acting from the start,
**[10:10] Lily**
so every show I was in
turned into a magical hit!
**[10:14] Lily**
But... right when I was at
the top, it happened...
**[10:24] (Flashback) Dad**
Masao! Open the door!
**[10:26] (Flashback) Dad**
They need you to get the show moving!
**[10:28] (Flashback) Lily**
No! I'm not coming out!
**[10:30] (Flashback) Dad**
It's fine. That part's
not going to show on TV.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Lily**
You only care about me when I'm on TV!
**[10:36] (Flashback) Lily**
You don't worry about the real me!
**[10:39] (Flashback) Dad**
Of course I do!
**[10:41] (Flashback) Dad**
A little leg hair isn't a big deal!
**[10:43] (Flashback) Dad**
It just means you're growing up a little.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Lily**
I am never growing up!
**[10:51] (Flashback) Dad**
You can't look like that forever.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Lily**
I can, too!
**[10:56] (Flashback) Lily**
I don't want to look like you, Pappy!
**[10:58] (Flashback) Lily**
You dummy!
**[11:01] (Flashback) Dad**
Masao! A lot of people are really
looking forward to this show!
**[11:06] (Flashback) Dad**
Now, open this door!
**[11:09] (Flashback) Lily**
I am not gonna grow up.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Lily**
Is that some seaweed from
yesterday's breakfast...?
**[11:27] (Flashback) ---**
Hair!
**[11:35] (Flashback) Dad**
Masao! I'm coming in!
**[11:49] (Flashback) Dad**
Masao...
**[11:51] (Flashback) Dad**
Masao!
**[11:55] Lily**
That was the last time I saw him.
**[11:58] Sakura**
Uh... Sorry, Lily-chan...
**[12:02] Sakura**
I'm having trouble keeping up here...
**[12:05] Sakura**
Who was this Masao guy you started
mentioning partway through?
**[12:09] Lily**
That was my old name.
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga
***SIGN*** Sicilian Rice
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga
**[12:25] Sakura**
So it turns out Lily-chan
used to be Masao-kun.
**[12:29] Saki**
Dying over some whiskers...
that's the greatest thing I've ever heard...
**[12:32] Saki**
Now that's legendary!
**[12:34] Sakura**
Saki-chan!
**[12:36] Saki**
Wait, so what's your full
name then, shrimpy?
**[12:39] Lily**
Masao Go.
**[12:42] Saki**
That's so butch! It's like the
most macho name I ever heard!
**[12:46] Saki**
Wait, what about pops? What's his name?
**[12:48] Lily**
Takeo Go.
**[12:52] Saki**
That's totally him!
That is exactly his name!
**[12:55] Lily**
I hate you, Saki-chan!
**[12:57] Saki**
Sorry, sorry!
**[12:59] Yugiri**
I have to say, this is a bit of a surprise.
**[13:02] Saki**
Masao Go!
**[13:03] Ai**
So, what happens now?
**[13:05] Lily**
I'm still Lily, and that's
who I'm always going to be.
**[13:08] Lily**
Zombies don't grow, after all!
**[13:10] Lily**
So I've got nothing to worry about.
**[13:12] Sakura**
Lily-chan...
**[13:14] Ai**
So, did he know?
**[13:17] Kotaro**
Hell yeah, I knew.
**[13:21] Kotaro**
Teehee!
**[13:22] Saki**
I'm seriously gonna kill you, man!
**[13:24] Kotaro**
What?! Is Masao Go not allowed in
your girly idol group anymore?!
**[13:29] Lily**
I am not Masao anymore! My name is Lily!
**[13:31] Kotaro**
That's right! She's Lily, not Masao!
**[13:34] Kotaro**
The rest of you are Masao, and I'm Lily!
**[13:37] Kotaro**
Besides, you've got a gig tomorrow!
**[13:39] Kotaro**
If you've got time to waste on tired-ass
questions, maybe you should go to bed,
**[13:42] Kotaro**
you bunch of morons!
**[13:49] Junko**
She's so cute.
**[13:50] Ai**
I'm surprised we never noticed in spite
of how close we've all been together...
**[13:54] Saki**
Ah, who cares! Doesn't matter
what kinda junk she's got.
**[13:56] Junko**
J-Junk...
**[13:58] Saki**
Besides, we're all zombies.
**[14:01] Yugiri**
It honestly makes me wonder
what exactly zombies are.
**[14:05] Yugiri**
To think that we're never going to age...
**[14:07] Sakura**
You've got a point.
**[14:09] Sakura**
Lily-chan is going to stay Lily-chan.
**[14:10] Sakura**
And none of us are ever going to change.
**[14:12] Sakura**
Because we're zombies.
**[14:20] (Flashback) Dad**
Look at this!
**[14:21] (Flashback) Dad**
We got top ratings!
**[14:24] (Flashback) Dad**
That means you amazed a ton of people!
**[14:27] TV**
*Today's guest is Lily Hoshikawa.*
**[14:30] Lily**
*It's nice to be here!*
**[14:32] (Flashback) Dad**
There you go, Lily.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Dad**
That's the way. Keep it up.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Lily**
Pappy...?
**[14:36] (Flashback) Dad**
Aw, the camera was slightly
off for that look you gave...
**[14:39] (Flashback) Lily**
I want the two of us to go out sometimes.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Dad**
You want to go out?
**[14:44] (Flashback) Lily**
I wanna go to Kouno Park again. With you.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Dad**
Sounds good.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Dad**
We can go when the filming for the
show that airs next season is done.
***SIGN*** Lily Hoshikawa (11) The brilliant child actress everyone's talking about
**[14:54] Lily**
*Yep! He's always with me.*
**[14:58] (Flashback) Doc**
I think it was death from mental shock.
**[15:01] (Flashback) Doc**
Something must've caused an incredible
deal of mental distress before the fall.
**[15:10] Lily**
*Pappy!*
**[15:40] Dad**
I understand...
**[15:42] Dad**
I know that girl can't be Masao.
**[15:54] Lily**
Hello there! Sorry about the other day.
***SIGN*** Size S Size M Size L
**[15:57] Lily**
The others didn't mean anything bad by it.
**[15:59] Dad**
Nah, that was my fault.
**[16:02] Dad**
Uh, can I get a T-shirt?
**[16:04] Lily**
Sure! But I don't think it'll fit.
**[16:06] Lily**
You usually get a 5XL right?
**[16:08] Dad**
I'm impressed you can tell.
***SIGN*** Size S Size M Size L
**[16:10] Lily**
W-We have lots of different
fans, so I can tell!
**[16:14] Dad**
I see.
**[16:15] Dad**
But I actually want an extra small.
**[16:18] Dad**
See, I used to have a kid
who was about your age.
**[16:22] Dad**
But I was a bad father...
**[16:26] Dad**
I was so focused on myself, I wasn't
able to care for them properly.
**[16:31] Dad**
Is your dad a nice man?
***SIGN*** Size S Size M Size L
**[16:33] Lily**
Yeah! Pa—
**[16:34] Lily**
I mean, Dad's really nice!
**[16:37] Lily**
Really, really nice!
**[16:42] Dad**
Sorry for scaring you before.
**[16:46] Dad**
I won't come back again.
**[16:48] Dad**
I just wanted to apologize
for what happened.
**[16:52] Dad**
Goodbye, now.
**[17:00] Sakura**
Lily-chan...
**[17:02] Lily**
I-I'm totally fine!
**[17:10] Lily**
We better get to practice, huh?
**[17:12] Sakura**
It's okay.
**[17:14] Sakura**
Everyone agreed you should
take a break for today.
**[17:17] Lily**
Maybe I'd be better off if I didn't
remember anything. Like you, Sakura-chan.
**[17:22] Sakura**
No.
**[17:24] Sakura**
It's because you remembered your dad,
and he remembered you,
**[17:29] Sakura**
that you're able to understand
how you really feel.
**[17:32] Lily**
Pappy... He loved me this entire time...
**[17:38] Lily**
And I...
**[17:40] Lily**
And I...
**[17:51] Saki**
There might be people we knew who're
torn up about what happened, too.
**[17:56] Sakura**
*Why can't I remember...?*
**[18:00] Sakura**
* That view is the only*
* thing I remember...*
**[18:03] Sakura**
*but when and where is it from?*
**[18:07] Ai**
Is something wrong?
**[18:09] Sakura**
S-Sorry!
**[18:11] Saki**
Y'know, leaving this as-is sucks too bad!
**[18:14] Lily**
What else can I do? I'm a zombie now.
**[18:17] Sakura**
No, there might still be a way.
**[18:20] Sakura**
Let's think about it.
**[18:21] Lily**
Sakura-chan.
**[18:22] Ai**
I think the answer's already clear.
**[18:25] Junko**
There is something that we,
and only we, can do.
**[18:29] Ai**
But first we've gotta talk to him.
***SIGN*** We're having a concert!!
***SIGN*** Franchouchou
***SIGN*** August 17th (Friday)
***SIGN*** At Plaza 656
**[18:45] Rookie**
Oh, that was in the mail.
**[18:50] Rookie**
I'll toss it, then.
**[18:52] Rookie**
Gotta wonder if being regional
idols is even doable nowadays.
**[19:09] Sakura**
We're almost done...
**[19:10] Sakura**
Do you think he'll come?
**[19:12] Ai**
We've done everything we can.
**[19:29] Lily**
Pappy!
**[19:32] Saki**
Well, we've got a new song for you today!
**[19:35] Saki**
Main vocals will be by shrimpy!
**[19:38] Sakura**
Saki-chan! Not shrimpy!
**[19:40] Saki**
I mean, by Number 6!
**[19:47] Lily**
This is "To My Dearest."
**[20:06] [SONG] FCC**
I knew we'd be saying goodbye,
but I thought it would be much later
**[20:12] [SONG] FCC**
And it all ended before I could tell you the
things I wanted to, but was too embarrassed
**[20:18] [SONG] FCC**
But you know, in those days
we had together, deep inside
**[20:22] [SONG] FCC**
I was laughing, crying, and smiling!
**[20:30] [SONG] FCC**
You gave me so much warmth!
**[20:35] [SONG] FCC**
And showed me so much kindness!
**[20:41] [SONG] FCC**
I'll never be able to replace the
part of me that's missing now
**[20:48] [SONG] FCC**
But even now, even now,
those memories are still warm...
**[20:59] Lily**
I'm really, really glad you came today!
**[21:02] Lily**
You know, I love TV!
**[21:05] Lily**
I'm going to work hard
so I can be on TV a lot!
**[21:08] Lily**
And I hope I can make you
smile when you see me there!
**[21:12] Lily**
I'm super duper glad
you came and saw me!
**[21:16] Lily**
I promise I will never ever forget you!
**[21:19] Lily**
I love you!
**[21:22] [SONG] FCC**
The world I had with you
**[21:25] [SONG] FCC**
And the future where I'll be missing you
**[21:28] [SONG] FCC**
And even if we're now far apart
**[21:34] [SONG] FCC**
The courage you gave me will
be my pride as I go on
**[21:40] [SONG] FCC**
So please, always, watch over me!
**[21:53] [SONG] FCC**
Every day, I miss you, I miss you
**[21:57] [SONG] FCC**
That's the way I feel
**[22:00] [SONG] FCC**
It won't ever fade but that's okay
**[22:06] [SONG] FCC**
Because that love, that love
**[22:13] [SONG] FCC**
Won't ever change, no matter what happens
**[22:23] [SONG] FCC**
I miss you, I miss you, and
if one day, in a dream...
**[22:30] [SONG] FCC**
We meet again, please tell me the same.
**[22:53] Rookie**
What you wanna get today, Amamoto-san?
**[22:55] Amamoto**
Sicilian rice bowl.
**[22:57] Rookie**
Every time, huh?
**[23:00] Dad**
I think I'll have the chicken udon.
**[23:03] Rookie**
You're gonna eat here today, Go-san?!
**[23:05] Dad**
Yeah.
**[23:09] FCC**
* Yakitori number one, chicken and rice*
* number two, salad's number three for nutrition!*
**[23:09] Amamoto**
These girls are real funny.
**[23:12] Rookie**
For real! I cracked up when I saw it.
**[23:14] FCC**
* Service with a smile, come*
* on and get your fill!*
**[23:17] FCC**
Yeah!
**[23:18] FCC**
* Fresh, tasty, and fun!*
* Bring all your friends...*

**[00:01] Sakura**
Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*!
**[00:02] Sakura**
After a crazy Saga Rock,
people are starting to hear our name!
**[00:05] Sakura**
Franchouchou's so happy
and embarrassed! We did it!
**[00:08] Sakura**
But then Lily-chan's pappy
showed up out of nowhere!
**[00:11] Sakura**
At first she wasn't sure what to do,
**[00:12] Sakura**
but she seemed really happy to learn
that he never stopped caring about her!
**[00:14] ---**
**[00:15] Sakura**
Even with my zombie heart, what happened
still gave me that warm feeling!
**[00:19] Sakura**
The end!
**[00:23] (Flashback) Saki**
Those Korosuke chicks don't
know when to give up...
***SIGN*** Reiko Kirishima Saki Nikaido
**[00:29] Reiko**
They're freaking out, trying to
keep us from taking over Kyushu.
**[00:33] Saki**
This is getting to be a drag.
**[00:35] Saki**
Maybe I'll just crush them all myself.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Reiko**
You really oughta do something
about that crazy streak
**[00:41] (Flashback) Reiko**
or it's gonna end up killing you.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Saki**
No way in hell am I dying.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Saki**
And neither is this little guy!
**[00:48] (Flashback) Saki**
Check it out! A Maskutchi.
**[00:51] (Flashback) Reiko**
Let's head back.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Saki**
Damn, I'm hungry!
**[00:54] (Flashback) Saki**
I wish Drive Tori was open this early...
**[01:04] (Flashback) Saki**
Reiko! You wanna race to Tenmangu?
**[01:08] (Flashback) Reiko**
You never learn, huh?
**[01:09] (Flashback) Reiko**
You know that when it comes to cranking
the throttle, you never beat me.
**[01:13] (Flashback) Saki**
I'll make up for it with guts.
**[01:15] (Flashback) Reiko**
Not in a million years.

**[01:33] Intro**
Even if we're dead, we want to
make our dreams come true...
**[01:35] Intro**
No, even if we're dead, we
will make them come true!
**[01:38] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[01:40] Intro**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[01:44] Intro**
Because that is our saga!
**[02:59] Grandpas**
Huh? What was that?
**[03:00] Grandpas**
Like I said!
**[03:02] Grandpas**
Those gals said they wanna join us!
**[03:05] Grandpas**
For the Kashima Dance!
**[03:07] Grandpas**
What?!
**[03:09] Saki**
You trying to tell me this is
gonna help Franchouchou out?
**[03:13] Sakura**
S-Sure!
**[03:14] Sakura**
That's what Kotaro-san said...
***SIGN*** Advanced Age
***SIGN*** Young People
**[03:18] (Flashback) Kotaro**
So, if you take a look here, you can see
that the population of Saga
***SIGN*** Graph of Age Demographics In Saga
**[03:22] (Flashback) Kotaro**
is generally of advanced age, right?
**[03:24] (Flashback) Kotaro**
Which means you all need to work harder
to grab the hearts of all these old folks!
**[03:28] (Flashback) Kotaro**
And in order to make them your fans...
***SIGN*** Kashima Dance
**[03:32] (Flashback) Kotaro**
You're going to joining in on a practice
meeting for the Kashima Dance!
**[03:36] Junko**
Has there ever in history been idols
with a significant elderly fanbase?
**[03:42] Ai**
Well, not that I've heard of.
**[03:45] Grandpas**
All right, it's about time to get started.
**[03:49] Grandpas**
Upsie-daisy...
**[03:52] Grandpas**
Music! Come on!
**[03:57] Enka**
Saga is hidden in the leaves,
deep in the south
**[04:03] Lily**
Wow!
**[04:05] Saki**
They're sharp as hell!
**[04:06] Grandpa**
Get a move on, now! All of *you*, come on!
**[04:10] Sakura**
We're supposed to come on already?!
**[04:12] Junko**
Do you think we'll be able to keep up?
**[04:14] Ai**
Well, we'll just have to find out!
**[04:17] [SONG] Ai**
Now, come and dance, come along and dance!
**[04:28] Lily**
That was harder than our
usual lessons, I think!
**[04:33] Sakura**
You two!
**[04:36] Sakura**
Everybody's waiting!
**[04:38] Lily**
Coming!
**[05:13] Lily**
Lame.
**[05:15] Maria**
You chicks...
**[05:17] Maria**
What the hell makes you think
you can dance around here, huh?
**[05:23] Maria**
What middle school you from, anyway?!
**[05:25] Sakura**
I-It's like another Saki-chan...
**[05:27] Lily**
I'm a permanent grade schooler now,
thank you!
**[05:31] Ukawa**
Maria-chan, I think going after
grade schoolers is kinda...
**[05:34] Sayama**
I agree with her.
**[05:37] Maria**
N-Never mind you, then.
**[05:40] Maria**
But you! What the hell makes you think
you can hoot and holler in this park?!
**[05:44] Sakura**
I-I mean...
**[05:46] Sakura**
Th-This is a public park, right?
**[05:56] Lily**
Yeah, get her!
**[05:58] Sakura**
This is bad! Tae-chan, cut it out!
**[06:04] Maria**
What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?!
**[06:07] Saki**
Sakura! You done yet?
**[06:09] Saki**
I'm gonna kill you if you
don't get a move on.
**[06:12] Lily**
Saki-chan!
**[06:13] Maria**
Where the hell do you get off
butting into this, huh?!
**[06:22] Saki**
Don't pick fights you're not ready for.
**[06:25] Ukawa**
Maria-chan...
**[06:26] Ukawa**
These girls seem kinda dangerous.
**[06:28] Ukawa**
Also, crazy.
**[06:30] Sayama**
I agree with her!
***SIGN*** Dorami (Mad Demon Beauties) Eighth Boss Maria Kirishima

**[06:43] Maria**
Just remember, this park is Dorami turf!
**[06:47] Maria**
You got that?!
**[06:50] Lily**
What the heck was that?
**[06:52] Sakura**
Thank you, Saki-chan.
**[06:58] Saki**
For real...?
**[07:01] Sayama**
Maria-chan...
**[07:02] Sayama**
I'm starting to think we
shouldn't bother anymore.
**[07:06] Ukawa**
Maybe we should all quit
Dorami-chan together.
**[07:09] Maria**
Don't put a -chan on the
end of the team's name!
**[07:11] Ukawa**
Our bikes are scooters...
**[07:13] Sayama**
Being lady bikers is too much work.
**[07:16] Maria**
Dumbass!
**[07:18] Maria**
I am not quitting this team, no matter what!
**[07:22] Ukawa**
But your mom... I mean,
even the first boss...
**[07:27] Maria**
I keep telling you not to bring her up.
**[07:32] Ukawa**
Sorry...

**[08:02] Misa**
Been a while, Maria.
**[08:04] Misa**
I was thinking it's about time
I shut Dorami down for good.
**[08:08] Maria**
You can take all that crap
you're talking and cram it.
**[08:10] Maria**
Dorami isn't going anywh—
**[08:17] Misa**
No one interfere, now.
**[08:20] Misa**
This beef has been going since these clubs
started... Why don't we end it ourselves?
**[08:26] Maria**
Sounds good to me.
**[08:30] Lily**
Tae-chan! Did you eat my squid?!
**[08:30] Sakura**
We danced ourselves to death back there...
**[08:32] Yugiri**
Yes, it was quite the good time.
**[08:34] Tae**
Liar! Open your mouth!
**[08:36] Ai**
Hey, quit playing around!
We're crammed in here!
**[08:39] Junko**
Excuse me... can someone open a window?
**[08:39] Lily**
Open up, Tae-chan! Tae-chan!
**[08:43] Yugiri**
Are you not feeling well, Junko-han?
**[08:43] Lily**
Give it back! That was my squid!
**[08:46] Yugiri**
There's a pressure point
here that should help...
**[08:49] Sakura**
Does that still work on zombies?
**[08:53] Kotaro**
Could all of you please shut the hell up?!
**[08:58] Lily**
Give it, Tae-chan!
**[09:00] Lily**
That's my squid! Give it back!
**[09:01] Sakura**
What's wrong, Saki-chan?
**[09:02] Saki**
Damn it...
**[09:05] Ai**
What are you doing?!
**[09:08] Lily**
Tatsumi...
**[09:09] Kotaro**
What is it now?! Damn!
**[09:11] Lily**
Saki-chan fell out.
**[09:13] Kotaro**
No way!
**[09:24] Saki**
Hold up.
**[09:30] Saki**
Oh, crap.
**[09:35] Korosukes**
H-Hey! This is none of your
business! Back off!
**[09:47] Misa**
And who are you?
**[09:48] Saki**
Me? Let's see...
**[09:53] Cop**
Hey, hey! What are you
girls doing over there?
**[09:58] Cop**
I-I'll call for backup, y'know...!
**[10:01] Cop**
If you don't wanna end up locked up,
be good kids and run along... please.
**[10:05] Misa**
That killed the mood.
**[10:09] Misa**
We'll settle this some other way.
**[10:12] Misa**
And soon.
**[10:20] Maria**
What'd you butt in for?
**[10:24] Saki**
Because you've got no chance
in hell against her.
**[10:27] Maria**
Don't just make stuff up!
**[10:29] Saki**
I'm telling you, you can't take her.
**[10:32] Maria**
No matter what anybody says,
I'm gonna keep Dorami going!
**[10:37] Saki**
Listen...
**[10:39] Saki**
What's her name, anyway?
**[10:43] Saki**
Your, uh... Y'know.
**[10:46] Saki**
You got a mom, right?
**[10:49] Maria**
Who gives a crap about that spineless wimp?
**[10:52] Maria**
Let's go.

**[11:39] Reiko**
I'm sorry.
**[11:41] Maria**
Why are you always apologizing when
you didn't do anything wrong?!
**[11:45] Maria**
Like a weakling!
**[11:52] Kotaro**
What the hell was that?!
**[11:54] Kotaro**
The only way zombies like you are
allowed to interact with living humans
**[11:59] Kotaro**
is when you're doing idol stuff!
**[12:01] Saki**
I get it.
**[12:05] Kotaro**
No, you don't.
**[12:09] Kotaro**
Anything involving violence
is totally taboo for idols.
**[12:13] Kotaro**
There's a chance that your personal actions
could put an end to Franchouchou.
**[12:18] Kotaro**
Keep that in mind.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Reiko**
Thank you for being born, Maria!
**[12:35] (Flashback) Maria**
I'm going now!
**[12:36] (Flashback) Reiko**
Make sure to be a good girl
and greet everybody! Be safe!
**[12:40] (Flashback) Maria**
I'm heading out!
**[12:42] (Flashback) Reiko**
You're all grown up now!
**[12:44] (Flashback) Reiko**
Have a good day!
**[12:46] (Flashback) Maria**
I'm leaving.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Reiko**
I'm so glad you're such a good girl!
**[12:51] (Flashback) Reiko**
Take care!
**[12:55] (Flashback) Reiko**
Welcome ho—

I wonder what you'd think?

So, what are you going to do from now on?
**[13:35] (Flashback) Reiko**
In the future.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Saki**
I figure after taking over Kyushu comes
taking the rest of the country, right?
**[13:41] (Flashback) Reiko**
That's just like you.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Saki**
Not you, though?
**[13:44] (Flashback) Reiko**
I...
**[13:46] (Flashback) Reiko**
I want to get married like normal
and have a normal family.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Reiko**
Y'know, my parents are divorced...
and stuff like studying and school clubs...
**[13:56] (Flashback) Reiko**
I never had, like, a "normal youth," right?
**[14:01] (Flashback) Reiko**
I don't want my kids to end up like this.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Saki**
What the hell's normal supposed to be?
**[14:07] (Flashback) Saki**
I don't get it.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Reiko**
I bet you don't!
**[14:14] Saki**
She's got the same eyes as Reiko.
**[14:23] (Flashback) Misa**
We'll settle this some other way.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Misa**
And soon.
**[14:29] Saki**
That's pretty damn soon!
**[14:34] Kotaro**
Where are you going?
**[14:37] Kotaro**
It seems you didn't understand
what I told you, after all.
**[14:40] Saki**
I told you, I get it.
**[14:42] Kotaro**
What are you going to do, then?
**[14:45] Saki**
Ain't it obvious?

Idol stuff, man.

**[15:53] Misa**
This place has some history
for Korosuke and Dorami.
**[15:56] Misa**
A good place for your club to finally die.
**[15:59] Maria**
Keep on yapping.
**[16:00] Misa**
We're playing chicken towards the end
of the cliff. First to brake loses.
**[16:05] Misa**
You wanna quit, now's the chance.
**[16:07] Maria**
Shut up! Let's get started already.
**[16:09] Misa**
That's what I like to hear.

**[16:25] Reiko**

**[16:27] Korosukes**
Who's the old lady?
**[16:28] Korosukes**
Her bike's pretty sweet, though.
**[16:31] Maria**
What the hell do you want?!
**[16:33] Korosukes**
Oh my god, here comes mommy!
**[16:33] Reiko**
You need to stop this nonsense!
**[16:35] Maria**
Shut up! You need to back off!
**[16:36] Korosukes**
She's here to stop them?
**[16:37] Korosukes**
That is hilarious.
**[16:38] Maria**
Hey!
**[16:39] Reiko**
Please, put a stop to this.
**[16:42] Reiko**
I'm begging you!
**[16:45] Maria**
How pathetic are you gonna get?!
**[16:48] Maria**
Always bowing down and apologizing...
**[16:53] Maria**
I thought you were the
first boss of Dorami!
**[16:56] Maria**
How did you end up like this?!
**[16:59] Maria**
I am never going to end up like you!
**[17:02] Maria**
Keeping this team going
is gonna be proof of that!
**[17:06] Reiko**
Maria...
**[17:08] Reiko**
Maria! Wait!
**[17:15] Saki**
Crap, crap, crap, crap!
**[17:18] Saki**
Stop, stop, stop—

Who's this?

That... seemed kinda crazy.

It pulses now intensely with the echoes...
**[17:37] Saki**
of the voices of the friends
who once watched my back...
**[17:40] Saki**
And to pay back the
gratitude they've earned,
**[17:43] Saki**
I'll once again race down
the path of carnage.
**[17:46] Misa**
You again?
**[17:48] Misa**
This is private business.
**[17:50] Saki**
It's my business, too.
**[17:52] Saki**
I'm Dorami's Captain-for-a-Day!
**[17:58] Misa**
Captain-for-a-Day?
**[18:01] Maria**
What gives you the right?!
**[18:03] Saki**
What's the big deal?
**[18:04] Saki**
You oughta be glad to have
a new member, anyway.
**[18:08] Maria**
D-Don't give me that!
**[18:11] Saki**
If you're in Dorami, you oughta know.
**[18:14] Saki**
There's a dumbass who actually
died doing this before.
**[18:17] Saki**
You telling me you're ready to die?
**[18:22] Misa**
I don't care who I'm up against
if it brings Dorami down.
**[18:28] Saki**
I'm borrowing your bike.
**[18:31] Reiko**
Stop this craziness!
**[18:33] Reiko**
Do you realize how dangerous this is?!
**[18:36] Reiko**
You could die!
**[18:39] Saki**
There's no way in hell I'm dying.
**[18:45] Reiko**
Saki...?!
**[18:51] Saki**
Who's that supposed to be?
**[18:59] Misa**
You ready to go?
**[19:01] Saki**
I was born ready.
**[19:05] Korosukes**
Three!
**[19:06] Korosukes**
Two!
**[19:07] Korosukes**
One!
**[19:08] Korosukes**
Go!
**[19:20] Korosukes**
No way! She sped up?!
**[19:28] Saki**
Get a load of this!
**[20:02] Saki**
Damn, that hurt.
**[20:06] Maria**
Holy crap...
**[20:08] Maria**
She's got more guts than
anyone I've ever seen.
**[20:14] Saki**
Crap... Guess I wrecked your bike.
**[20:17] Saki**
Sorry about all the trouble.
**[20:30] Reiko**
You dumbass!
**[20:31] Reiko**
What the hell were you gonna
do if things went wrong?!
**[20:39] Saki**
Maria...
**[20:41] Saki**
Seems to me your mom's got plenty of guts.
**[20:45] Saki**
You wanna keep Dorami going, you need
to face her head on and prove to her
**[20:51] Saki**
that you've got enough guts that
she won't have to worry about you.
**[21:05] Saki**
Whew...
**[21:07] Saki**
Still don't get it, though.
**[21:09] Saki**
What does "normal" even mean?
**[21:12] Misa**
You've got me beat.
**[21:15] Misa**
You could definitely be a legend
among the next gen of lady bikers.
**[21:20] Saki**
Legend...
**[21:22] Saki**
Oh, crap! I forgot the most important part!
**[21:28] Saki**
Listen up, people!
**[21:30] Saki**
This kinda stuff isn't legendary!
It's nothing!
**[21:33] Saki**
What I'm after is way above all this!
**[21:36] Saki**
I'm gonna show you what
a real legend looks like.

**[00:01] Sakura**
Last time on *Zombie Land Saga*!
**[00:02] Sakura**
We visited a park so that we could
win the hearts of some old folks,
**[00:05] Sakura**
but then a bunch of punks had us dancing
between a rock and a hard place!
**[00:08] ---**
**[00:08] Sakura**
Did I stand out too much by
being a babe or something?
**[00:10] Sakura**
Plus, this particular punk was the daughter
of Saki-chan's gal pal, which was really crazy!
**[00:15] Sakura**
The head of Franchouchou went on an explosive
chicken run for the sake of her old bestie's family!
**[00:19] Sakura**
Then we ended up getting a bunch of rowdy
new fans, and we were glad to have them!
**[00:35] Ai**
Okay, that's good.
**[00:36] Saki**
Nice, nice!
**[00:38] Saki**
I can see us taking over already!
**[00:40] Ai**
Don't get too carried away.
**[00:42] Saki**
I'm just saying, hypothetically!
**[00:43] Lily**
You're too strict, Ai-chan!
**[00:44] Sakura**
* Saki-chan seems really happy that*
* one of her friends is a fan now.*
**[00:45] Saki**
You say that, but half the time
you're the one giving her trouble!
**[00:49] Sakura**
* Lily-chan's been full of a lot more energy*
* since her dad started coming to our shows, too.*
**[00:55] Sakura**
* Ai-chan and Junko-chan have both been a lot*
* more relaxed since summer and Saga Rock...*
**[01:03] Sakura**
*And I... still don't remember anything.*
**[01:07] Sakura**
*What could've happened in my past?*
***SIGN*** Episode 10
**[01:21] Intro**
Even if we're dead, we want to
make our dreams come true...
**[01:23] Intro**
No, even if we're dead,
we will make them come true!
**[01:26] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[01:28] Intro**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[01:32] Intro**
Because that is our saga!
**[02:44] Sakura**
Huh?!
**[02:45] Sakura**
A concert for five hundred people?!
**[02:48] Kotaro**
That's right. The time has come.
**[02:50] Saki**
What? Is that a lot?
**[02:53] Sakura**
I mean... it's five hundred people!
**[02:56] Ai**
I think the timing is about right.
**[02:58] Ai**
This won't be like the photo
ops, business gigs, or shows
**[03:00] Ai**
where you share the ticket with other acts...
**[03:02] Ai**
Will you girls be able to fill
five hundred seats?
**[03:05] Ai**
Well, will you, Sakura?!
**[03:07] Ai**
Okay! Well said!
**[03:11] Ai**
And so, that said, our venue for this concert...
**[03:15] Ai**
Karatsu's Furusato Exhibition Hall, Arpino!
**[03:21] Sakura**
Ar... pino?
**[03:23] Lily**
Where's that?
**[03:24] Kotaro**
Well, you see...
**[03:27] Kotaro**
It's right here!
**[03:34] Saki**
Huge!
**[03:35] Lily**
So much room!
**[03:38] Yugiri**
Feels like we're finally
staking our own claim.
**[03:42] Junko**
It's a different kind of tension you
get than performing under an open sky.
**[03:45] Ai**
This takes me back...
**[03:46] Ai**
This is where my first show in Saga was.
**[03:54] Sakura**
I feel like I recognize this place, too...
**[03:58] Sakura**
Maybe I came here before as well...
**[04:01] Kotaro**
In recent years, this multi-purpose hall has
not served as a venue for many musical events.
**[04:06] Kotaro**
But Franchouchou will
change that perception.
**[04:09] Kotaro**
You're going to have people
recognize Arpino as a venue,
**[04:13] Kotaro**
which will be your first
step in saving Saga.
**[04:21] Sakura**
*That feeling!*
**[04:26] Sakura**
*I'm so excited for some reason!*
**[04:29] Sakura**
* Maybe there's something about that*
* place that connects to my past?!*
**[04:33] Sakura**
* And maybe when we do the show,*
* I'll be able to figure it out!*
**[04:36] Sakura**
*Nope! Can't sleep at all!*
**[04:38] Sakura**
*Guess I better go practice!*

**[04:44] Ai**
Sakura!
**[04:45] Ai**
Sakura!
**[04:47] Sakura**
What is it?
**[04:49] Ai**
You're rushing too far ahead.
**[04:51] Ai**
Try and match everyone else's pace.
**[04:53] Sakura**
Oh, sorry!
**[04:55] Ai**
You need a break?
**[04:56] Sakura**
Why, of course not!
**[04:58] Sakura**
Heck, I'm ready for a lot
more practice, to be honest!
**[05:01] Sakura**
This is a whole show just for us!
**[05:02] Sakura**
Have to make sure it's a proper
performance, wouldn't you say?
**[05:05] Saki**
You sound really weird.
**[05:07] Sakura**
Whatever do you mean?
**[05:09] Sakura**
Oh, by the way, I was practicing at
night and came up with an idea...
**[05:13] Sakura**
During the hook, maybe we
could add an additional step?
**[05:16] Ai**
Shouldn't we be focusing on trying
to get the basic pattern down first?
**[05:19] Sakura**
I know what you mean, but just...
Check this out real quick.
**[05:22] Sakura**
Okay? You'll think it's super cute!
**[05:24] Ai**
We can take a look, but...
**[05:26] Sakura**
Oh, wait!
**[05:27] Sakura**
Since the weather is so nice today,
maybe we should practice outdoors!
**[05:31] Sakura**
Yeah! Maybe on the roof!
**[05:33] Saki**
This place don't even have roof access.
**[05:35] Saki**
You wanna die?
***SIGN*** Days Until the Arpino show
**[05:39] Kotaro**
Good mornindle-lay-hee-hoo!
**[05:43] Kotaro**
Anyway, today,
**[05:45] Kotaro**
I've got a special training menu
to set you all up for the concert!
**[05:49] Sakura**
A special menu...?
**[05:51] Kotaro**
Starting today, you're all gonna
be staying in the mountains!
**[05:55] Sakura**
The... mountains?
**[05:57] Sakura**
Now?
**[05:57] Kotaro**
It's gotta be now!
**[05:59] Kotaro**
Whenever a big thing happens, there's always
a training sequence in the mountains!
**[06:03] Kotaro**
Then you get all banged up...
and much stronger...
**[06:07] Kotaro**
And return!
**[06:09] Kotaro**
Nobody is allowed off the mountain until
I come and get you-dle-ay-hee-hoo!
***SIGN*** Mount Tenzan: 1046.2 meters above sea level
***SIGN*** Same Location: Around 800 meters
**[06:19] Sakura**
Do you think there's any real point to this?
**[06:22] Saki**
Hell if I know.
**[06:24] Saki**
But if he's just making crap up,
I'm gonna smash shady's shades.
***SIGN*** Saga City
***SIGN*** Somewhere around here, I think
***SIGN*** Tenzan
***SIGN*** Karatsu
***SIGN*** Nanamagari Pass
**[06:29] Ai**
This looks like the spot.
**[06:30] Yugiri**
Well, there really isn't a single
thing up here, is there?
**[06:35] Junko**
I'm not sure I can spend long up here...
**[06:38] Lily**
I know I can't!
**[06:41] Saki**
This is looking pretty rough.
**[06:43] Sakura**
*What do we do?*
**[06:45] Sakura**
*We can't practice in a place like this!*
**[06:50] Saki**
What do you think happens
if a zombie freezes?
**[06:53] Ai**
Hard to say.
**[06:54] Ai**
You'll probably be able to
move again after thawing out.
**[06:56] Ai**
Assuming you don't get
eaten by wild animals...
**[06:58] Junko**
E-Eat—?!
**[07:00] Junko**
We'd better not freeze, then!
**[07:02] Saki**
Someone already did. Tae.
**[07:05] Sakura**
Tae-chan!
**[07:06] Saki**
Wish we had a fire or something...
**[07:08] Lily**
I can start one!
**[07:10] Saki**
For real?
**[07:11] Lily**
I was the star of *Girl Scout
Mania Case Files 3*, y'know!
**[07:16] Saki**
Never heard of it.
**[07:17] Yugiri**
In that case, I'll try to find
something for us to eat.
**[07:22] Ai**
I guess if we want to get anything
done, we can't sit around.
**[07:25] Junko**
Right.
**[07:26] Sakura**
Well, what about practicing?
**[07:29] Sakura**
We have that big show coming up.
**[07:32] Saki**
Yeah, but we gotta figure out
how to survive out here first.
**[07:35] Junko**
Although, we're already dead.
**[07:37] Saki**
I'm gonna go grab some branches
or whatever and make firewood!
**[07:41] Saki**
Branches from pine trees
and pine cones are good!
**[07:44] Yugiri**
Sakura-han, let's worry about practicing
after everyone has settled in.
***SIGN*** Days Until the Arpino Show
**[07:55] Saki**
Check it out, shrimpy!
**[07:57] Saki**
I got a crapload of pine branches for you!
**[08:00] Saki**
See! Get a load of this!
**[08:01] Lily**
Oh, no!
**[08:03] Lily**
I told you, you have to let them
dry out by the fire first!
**[08:06] Saki**
Oh, right.
**[08:07] Yugiri**
Look here.
**[08:09] Yugiri**
I found some tasty-looking mushrooms.
**[08:11] Yugiri**
Though, some of them may be poisonous...
**[08:13] Saki**
We can eat 'em anyway! 'Cuz we're zombies!
**[08:21] Ai**
Stop!
**[08:23] Sakura**
What are you doing?
**[08:25] Ai**
Just what it looks like. I'm hunting.
**[08:27] Sakura**
Hunting?
**[08:28] Ai**
Shh! Look at the base of that tree.
**[08:33] Sakura**
You're gonna shoot that cute little piggy?!
**[08:35] ---**
Shh!
**[08:37] Sakura**
Sorry...
**[08:38] Ai**
It's okay.
**[08:40] Ai**
I've got sharper kinetic vision than the
others, so finding animals isn't a problem.
**[08:44] Sakura**
R-Really?
**[08:46] Ai**
I'm going to find some new prey.
You want to come along?
**[08:49] Sakura**
Nah. I don't think so.
**[09:00] Junko**
Sakura-san.
**[09:01] Sakura**
You're fishing, Junko-chan?
**[09:03] Junko**
Yes.
**[09:04] Junko**
I think sitting still like this
might be what I'm best suited to.
**[09:09] Sakura**
Really?
**[09:11] Junko**
There seems to be a lot going on.
**[09:14] Sakura**
Where?
**[09:15] Junko**
In your heart, Sakura-san.
**[09:19] Junko**
Is something bothering you?
**[09:22] Sakura**
Yeah.
**[09:23] Sakura**
Well, more like I'm worried
if everyone is okay...
**[09:27] Sakura**
I guess we should really practice more
to make sure the actual show goes well.
**[09:31] Junko**
Of course.
**[09:33] Junko**
But panicking would be bad, too.
**[09:35] Junko**
When you don't catch any fish,
you start to consider a lot of things.
**[09:39] Junko**
What depth are the fish swimming at?
**[09:42] Junko**
Did you use the right bait?
**[09:44] Junko**
Is the fishing spot a good one?
**[09:46] Junko**
When you're calm and examine
things from different angles,
**[09:50] Junko**
you can figure things like that out.
***SIGN*** Days Until the Arpino Show
**[09:56] FCC**
We did it!
**[10:01] Sakura**
* I have to make sure I've got*
* it down before the show!*
**[10:05] Sakura**
*Somehow... Even if I'm by myself!*
***SIGN*** Days Until the Arpino Show
**[10:10] Saki**
We've been up here for a while now...
**[10:14] Saki**
I figure we've about got
the wilderness thing down.
**[10:15] Saki**
But there's one important thing
we haven't taken care of yet.
**[10:19] Saki**
Something we absolutely gotta do...
**[10:21] Sakura**
Saki-chan! What a relief!
**[10:24] Sakura**
You didn't forget after all!
**[10:25] Saki**
'Course not!
**[10:27] Saki**
We gotta eat some meat.
**[10:29] Saki**
We haven't had any up here!
**[10:31] Saki**
We're zombies, right? Gotta eat meat!
**[10:34] Ai**
That baby boar is really cautious...
**[10:38] Saki**
It's not your fault, Ai.
**[10:40] Saki**
We weren't ready to tangle
with wild animals.
**[10:41] Saki**
We've gotta work together
or it's not gonna happen!
**[10:45] Saki**
All right, let's start talking
about who does what.
**[10:48] Lily**
Okay!
**[10:48] Junko**
Understood.
**[10:49] Ai**
Okay.
**[10:55] Junko**
The trap should be perfectly concealed now.
**[10:57] Saki**
All right, he should be
showing up any time now...
**[11:00] Sakura**
Hang on a second!
**[11:03] Ai**
Incoming!
**[11:05] Saki**
Hide!
**[11:06] Sakura**
Hey, wait—
**[11:11] Yugiri**
Sakura-han!
**[11:12] Saki**
Damn it, stupid! After all we—
**[11:14] Ai**
Wait.
**[11:17] Saki**
Hold still!
**[11:27] Lily**
There it is!
**[11:28] Saki**
What the hell is that thing?!
**[11:29] Junko**
Maybe the daddy boar?
**[11:32] Yugiri**
That pit wasn't nearly big enough.
**[11:36] Ai**
This... is probably really bad, right?
**[11:41] Sakura**
*What do I do?*
**[11:43] Sakura**
*What do I do?! What do I do?! What do I do?!*
**[11:48] Saki**
Damn it! What do we do?!
**[11:51] Yugiri**
I know!
**[11:52] Yugiri**
When I was in Shimabara, one of the
Joi revolutionaries mentioned something...
**[11:56] Yugiri**
Sakura-han, play dead!
**[11:58] Yugiri**
Try playing dead.
**[11:59] Junko**
She's actually dead, though.
**[12:01] Saki**
Sakura!
**[12:08] Saki**
He ate her!
**[12:10] Sakura**
Eep!
**[12:22] Saki**
Sakura!
**[12:25] Saki**
And safe!
**[12:28] Saki**
Hey! Sakura! You okay?!
**[12:32] Sakura**
This is weird.
**[12:34] Saki**
Yeah. That thing was way too big.
**[12:37] Sakura**
Not what I meant.
**[12:39] Sakura**
This isn't right.
**[12:40] Sakura**
We should be trying to wrestle
with this show, not with a boar.
**[12:45] Sakura**
We're supposed to be showered
in cheers, not drool.
**[12:48] Sakura**
We've got barely any time left,
**[12:50] Sakura**
so we really shouldn't be in a place
like this, doing stuff like this.
**[12:53] Saki**
Oh, that's what you meant.
**[12:55] Kotaro**
Ladies!
**[12:57] Kotaro**
Good mo-mo-mornindle-lay-dee-hoo!
**[13:02] Kotaro**
How'd it go? Did you figure anything out by
being cooped up in the mountains-lay-dee-hoo?
**[13:06] Sakura**
Can't you tell from looking at me?
**[13:08] Sakura**
There's no way any of this nonsense
would help us figure anything out.
**[13:11] Sakura**
We have a show coming up.
Why are we even in the mountains?
**[13:14] Sakura**
And why a boar? I don't
understand any part of this.
**[13:16] Kotaro**
You don't?
**[13:18] Kotaro**
Then you need to just close
your eyes and open your ears.
**[13:21] Kotaro**
Let the voice of Mother Gaia
reach you, and remember!
**[13:25] Kotaro**
The fact that you are never alone!
**[13:28] Sakura**
Seriously, I've had enough!
**[13:30] Kotaro**
Huh?
**[13:36] Sakura**
I'm heading back.
**[13:37] Kotaro**
Huh?
**[13:40] Saki**
Man, now what're we gonna do?
**[13:44] Kotaro**
We're pulling out!

* At this rate, we're not going*

**[14:19] Ai**
Sakura!
**[14:22] Ai**
You've been too far ahead the whole time.
**[14:24] Ai**
Remember what I said before?
**[14:25] Ai**
You need to match everyone else's pace.
**[14:28] Ai**
You won't be dancing
by yourself, after all.
**[14:31] Ai**
Let's take it from the top, okay?
**[14:34] Sakura**
It's not my fault we're not in sync...
**[14:39] Sakura**
While you were all goofing
off in the mountains,
**[14:41] Sakura**
I was practicing by myself!
**[14:48] Saki**
What the hell's gotten into her?
**[14:59] Chef**
Welco— Huh?
**[15:02] Yugiri**
Courtesan on the premises.
**[15:05] Kotaro**
What do you want?
**[15:07] Yugiri**
I'm here to dance, of course.
**[15:10] Kotaro**
Why would you do that?
**[15:13] Yugiri**
You know, I did some geisha
training as well.
**[15:15] Kotaro**
That's not a real answer.
**[15:17] Kotaro**
You sent us into the mountains hoping
Sakura-han would cool her head a bit, didn't you?
**[15:24] Kotaro**
Am I wrong?
**[15:28] Kotaro**
The strength of being in a group is the ability
to make up for individual deficiencies...
**[15:32] Kotaro**
Which results in greater
collective strength.
**[15:36] Kotaro**
If she's got blinders on and can't
see around her, there's no point.
**[15:40] Yugiri**
You could've just told her that.
**[15:43] Kotaro**
She won't grow unless she
realizes it herself.
**[15:46] Kotaro**
You seem to be especially
kind with Sakura-han.
**[15:52] Kotaro**
I just wanna save Saga.
**[15:55] Yugiri**
I've got a soft spot for people who aren't
good at expressing themselves, mind you.
**[16:00] Kotaro**
It's a long, harsh road to solving
Saga's depopulation problem.
**[16:03] Kotaro**
It feels like every time we reach one peak,
an even taller one comes into sight.
**[16:08] Kotaro**
We're deep in the mountains, and it's not
going to be easy to make our way through.
**[16:13] Kotaro**
I have faith she can do it, but—
**[16:28] Yugiri**
I don't want to hear this
weak-minded nonsense, Kotaro-han!
**[16:30] Yugiri**
There's no mountain range
Sakura-han can't make her way across!
**[16:34] Kotaro**
Uh... Yeah... I was just saying—
**[16:36] Yugiri**
Have some faith in her!
**[16:42] Yugiri**
But I just said I do?
**[16:44] Yugiri**
I did, didn't I? You saw.

Okay, you're all clear

**[17:22] FCC**
Yeah!
**[17:23] Ai**
Okay, let's try it again from the top.
**[17:29] Sakura**
* Come to think of it, I've never watched*

**[17:52] Sakura**
*Wow!*
**[17:54] Sakura**
*They've all got the timing perfect...*
**[17:57] Saki**
Hey, about here...
**[17:59] Saki**
Feels kinda like I'm standing around
for too long, not enough movement.
**[18:02] Yugiri**
Oh, where we're across from each other?
**[18:07] Saki**
Yeah, that's the bit I mean!
**[18:09] Ai**
Well, since Arpino has a lot of room,
**[18:12] Ai**
you want to try spreading
out further on the sides?
**[18:15] Ai**
To around mark five?
**[18:16] Saki**
Oh, I get you!
**[18:18] Ai**
The extra space would give Junko
and I more room to move...
**[18:22] Junko**
That's right.
**[18:23] Lily**
Hey, in that case, should Tae-chan and
I switch places for that part?
**[18:29] Ai**
It'd be like we're moving around Sakura.
I think that might work.
**[18:34] Ai**
Let's do that!
**[18:34] Saki**
All right, I think this is shaping up!
**[18:37] Saki**
Let's make sure we've got it down so we can
pull it off easy when Sakura gets back.
**[18:39] Sakura**
* They haven't been rehearsing at all,*
* but they're in total sync...*
**[18:45] Sakura**
* It must be because they were all working*
* together in those harsh conditions.*
**[18:50] Sakura**
*I was the only one who wasn't...*
**[18:54] Saki**
Sakura.
**[18:56] Sakura**
I'm sorry!
**[18:58] Sakura**
I... I was only thinking about myself.
**[19:02] Sakura**
Ever since I heard we'd be doing that show
at Arpino, I've been too worked up...
**[19:07] Sakura**
I was so fixated on doing it right,
doing a great job...
**[19:11] Sakura**
I thought less and less
about the rest of you...
**[19:14] Sakura**
And I forgot I was a member of Franchouchou.
**[19:18] Saki**
Yeah, that figures.
**[19:20] Saki**
I thought you were a little
hot under the collar.
**[19:23] Kotaro**
Took you too long to notice!
**[19:26] Sakura**
Kotaro-san?
**[19:28] Kotaro**
The name Arpino comes from the
Nijinomatsubara pine forest...
**[19:32] Kotaro**
Pine as in alpine,
and alpine means the Alps!
**[19:36] Kotaro**
In other words, the mountains!
**[19:38] Kotaro**
Climb the mountain inside yourself!
**[19:42] Sakura**
I have no idea what you're trying to say...
**[19:44] Sakura**
but I'll do my best!

Plus, when I realized the
venue might have a connection
**[00:06] Sakura**
to my missing memories,
I reached max hype levels!
**[00:09] Sakura**
After seeing me like that, Kotaro-san's plan
was training in the mountains, somehow?!
**[00:13] Sakura**
As I watched everyone focus more
on wilderness survival instead
**[00:15] Sakura**
of rehearsal, my max hype
had me harrumphing up a storm!
**[00:17] Sakura**
But then, after I saw how they made
use of their experience in the mountains
**[00:21] Sakura**
for idol stuff, it made me realize something!
**[00:23] Sakura**
That I was the one who
had lost sight of things!
**[00:26] Sakura**
And the moment max-hype
Sakura found her faith
**[00:29] Sakura**
in her friends again
and decided to look forward,
**[00:31] Sakura**
she was hit by a max-hype truck
that came in from the side!

**[00:46] Intro**
No, even if we're dead, we
will make them come true!
**[00:49] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[00:51] Intro**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[00:55] Intro**
Because that is our saga!
**[02:18] Sakura**
What was I doing...?
**[02:28] Sakura**
Where am I?
**[03:06] Sakura**
I'm sorry!
**[03:08] Saki**
What the hell, man?
**[03:17] Saki**
Sakura?
**[03:19] Lily**
Sakura-chan! You're awake!
**[03:21] Junko**
That's a relief.
**[03:25] Saki**
Sakura?
**[03:26] Ai**
Hey!
**[03:27] Saki**
What's wrong?
**[03:43] Junko**
Sakura-san...?
**[03:44] Saki**
What? Did you lose your marbles again?
**[03:53] Sakura**
I can't...
**[03:56] Lily**
Sakura-chan?
**[03:58] Sakura**
It doesn't matter what I try...
**[04:02] Sakura**
Even trying is pointless.
**[04:05] Saki**
Man, no telling what's up this time.
**[04:07] Junko**
She was afraid of us, wasn't she?
**[04:09] Yugiri**
Shall I try slapping her?
**[04:12] Ai**
Wait! I think I might know...
**[04:25] Sakura**
*See what I mean?*
**[04:28] Sakura**
*I really don't have what it takes.*
**[04:34] Sakura**
What just happened?
**[04:36] Ai**
Are you okay?
**[04:38] Sakura**
Ai Mizuno? What?
**[04:42] Sakura**
What are you doing here?!
**[04:45] Ai**
Hey, do you remember who you are?
**[04:47] Sakura**
I'm Sakura Minamoto.
**[04:49] Ai**
What about your address? Phone number?
**[04:52] Ai**
Your family?
**[04:54] Ai**
Y-Yeah, I do...
**[04:56] Ai**
It's like I thought.
**[04:58] Sakura**
Hey! You're... Ai Mizuno-san
from Iron Frill, right?
**[05:02] Ai**
Sakura...
**[05:03] Sakura**
Yes?!
**[05:05] Ai**
I'm going to explain why you're here
**[05:07] Ai**
and what's happened to you,
so I need you to stay calm.
**[05:12] Ai**
You're... already dead.
**[05:15] Ai**
You're a zombie.
**[05:19] Sakura**
What?
**[05:20] Sakura**
What are you talking about?
**[05:22] Ai**
Ten years ago...
**[05:24] Ai**
you died, probably in an
accident of some kind.
**[05:27] Sakura**
What...?
**[05:48] Lily**
You think Sakura-chan is gonna be okay?
**[05:50] Yugiri**
We shouldn't have much to worry
about if Ai-han is dealing with it.
**[05:55] Saki**
Damn it! Where the hell
is shades at a time like this?
**[05:59] Junko**
He left this morning, saying
something about business...
**[06:05] Saki**
Hey!
**[06:06] Lily**
What about Sakura-chan? How is she?
**[06:08] Ai**
Well...
**[06:10] Ai**
I'm not positive, but
**[06:11] Ai**
it looks like getting hit by that truck yesterday
has brought back her memories of her life.
**[06:15] Saki**
For real?!
**[06:16] Ai**
But now she doesn't remember anything since she became a zombie.
**[06:22] Saki**
No way...
**[06:23] Ai**
I've explained everything I could for now.
**[06:26] Ai**
About how we're all zombies,
and about Franchouchou.
**[06:32] Ai**
These are the members of
the group I was telling you about.
**[06:41] Lily**
Do you really not remember us?
**[06:44] Sakura**
I-I'm sorry...
**[06:46] Saki**
So does this mean Sakura
won't be able to do the show?!
**[06:50] Saki**
Show...?
**[06:52] Ai**
We were going to do our first show
with 500 fans in attendance.
**[06:56] Ai**
It's coming up, at a place called Arpino.
**[07:01] Sakura**
Arpino...?
**[07:02] Ai**
It's a really big event for us.
**[07:07] Sakura**
Arpino...
**[07:13] Ai**
We've all been practicing
really hard to get ready for it.
**[07:17] Ai**
Including you.
**[07:19] Ai**
You might be confused at the moment,
**[07:21] Ai**
but I know you'll be ready to
get on stage when the time comes.

*I really became an idol...?*
**[07:36] Sakura**
No. You can go without me.
**[07:39] Saki**
Don't sweat it!
**[07:41] Saki**
You'll remember it all if you rehearse some!
**[07:43] Saki**
Okay?
**[07:44] Sakura**
That's not what I mean. I just can't do it.
**[07:45] Saki**
You don't know that without trying!
**[07:47] Sakura**
I don't want to!
**[07:50] Sakura**
Stuff like working towards something...
**[07:54] Sakura**
I don't have what it takes.
**[07:57] Saki**
Don't have it?
**[07:59] Saki**
Don't have what?
**[08:00] Sakura**
It means that no matter what I do,
it never works out.
**[08:04] Sakura**
Every time I try, I just
end up suffering for it.
**[08:07] Saki**
Hey...
**[08:09] Sakura**
Excuse me.
**[08:11] Saki**
Hey!
**[08:17] Junko**
And right after she was
finally back to normal...
**[08:21] Yugiri**
This makes the trouble from
the mountains look like nothing.
**[08:23] Saki**
Wait, does this mean Sakura's
quitting Franchouchou?!
**[08:35] Xu Fu**
Well, how's it going?
**[08:38] Kotaro**
Well... we're getting there, I guess.
**[08:40] Xu Fu**
When you first told me about your little plan,
**[08:42] Xu Fu**
I thought your damn brains had gone rotten.
**[08:46] Xu Fu**
What'd you call it again?
**[08:48] Xu Fu**
"The Original Zombie Village:

**[08:52] Kotaro**
The Zombie Land Saga Project.
**[08:55] Xu Fu**
Yeah, that.
**[08:56] Xu Fu**
"To manifest great compassion,
and to act for the sake of man," huh?
**[09:01] Kotaro**
Jocho Yamamoto's *Hagakure*.
**[09:05] Kotaro**
I wouldn't say it's anything that noble.
**[09:06] Xu Fu**
Just keep your hands off Yugiri.
**[09:09] Xu Fu**
I owe that girl a hell of a lot.
**[09:11] Kotaro**
And how long ago are you talking?
**[09:13] Xu Fu**
Those were some good times. Real interesting.
**[09:17] Kotaro**
You realize how uncool adults who don't
**[09:19] Kotaro**
stop talking about the good
old days are, don't you?
**[09:21] Xu Fu**
That's rich, coming from you.
**[09:28] Saki**
Damn it, man.
**[09:29] Saki**
I just can't get into it.
**[09:32] Junko**
It'd be crazy to expect anyone
to be able to focus, considering.
**[09:36] Lily**
Do you think she's gonna forget me forever?
**[09:41] Ai**
I understand how you all feel...
**[09:43] Ai**
but we have to hang in there,
or this show is going to fall apart.
**[09:47] Ai**
The people coming to see us
don't know what our troubles are.
**[09:52] Saki**
Yeah, but...
**[09:53] Ai**
It'll be okay.

But the more cute I try to be,

**[00:00] (Flashback) Lily**
Do you really not remember us?
**[00:03] (Flashback) Sakura**
I'm sorry...
**[00:05] (Flashback) Ai**
You're already dead. You're a zombie.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Saki**
Does this mean Sakura won't
be able to do the show?!
**[00:11] (Flashback) Ai**
I know you'll be ready to get
on stage when the time comes.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Sakura**
No. You can go without me.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Sakura**
Every time I try, I just
end up suffering for it.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Kotaro**
This isn't where you belong right now.
**[00:24] (Flashback) Sakura**
This idol stuff and saving Saga...
**[00:26] (Flashback) Sakura**
You can all do it just fine without me!
**[00:28] (Flashback) Sakura**
You don't know anything about me!
**[00:30] (Flashback) Sakura**
You've never even died—
**[00:31] (Flashback) Kotaro**
I have what it takes!
**[00:33] (Flashback) Kotaro**
Listen to me, Sakura! I'm telling you...
**[00:35] (Flashback) Kotaro**
that I will never abandon you!
**[00:42] Kotaro**
Heygoodmorning!
**[00:45] Yugiri**
And a good morning to you.
**[00:47] Kotaro**
Yeah!
**[00:47] Kotaro**
Oh, Sakura!
**[00:49] Kotaro**
I thought you were gonna play hooky
again today, but you actually showed!
**[00:53] Kotaro**
Good morning!
**[00:56] Kotaro**
Now, you need to mind your manners.
**[00:58] Kotaro**
You can't get any respect without them.
**[01:01] Sakura**
I don't really care if I'm respected...
**[01:03] Kotaro**
I'm still going to make you earn respect.
**[01:05] Kotaro**
You can sulk and give me all the dead-eyed
looks you want, it won't faze me.
**[01:08] Kotaro**
You're going on stage.
**[01:36] Sakura**
*I know this...*
**[01:41] Ai**
Sakura?
**[01:43] Ai**
What did you think?
**[01:53] (Flashback) Kotaro**
You're going on stage.
**[01:56] Sakura**
*There's no way I can do it.*
**[02:07] Sakura**
What? You're kinda scaring me.
**[02:27] Saki**
Sakura, we've got lessons
tomorrow at the same time.
**[02:30] Ai**
And then in the evening,
we're passing out fliers.
**[02:33] Ai**
We'll all be going together.
**[02:50] Saki**
Come and check us out!
**[02:52] Saki**
Thank you!
**[02:55] Sakura**
*What were you thinking? Idiot.*
**[02:57] Fan 1**
Number 1! Can I shake your hand?
**[03:01] Fan 1**
I love your singing and dancing!
**[03:06] Fan 1**
It just fills me with a ton of energy!
**[03:08] Fan 2**
We're always rooting for you!
**[03:10] Fan 2**
We can't wait for the Arpino show!
**[03:11] Saki**
Hey, thanks, you two!
**[03:13] Saki**
We appreciate it!
I'll remember your faces, now.
**[03:16] Saki**
If you don't show, you better watch
your backs on the streets of Saga!
**[03:18] Fan 1**
Number 2!
**[03:19] Fan 1**
We're definitely coming!
**[03:21] Fan 2**
Good luck with the show!
**[03:22] Saki**
Yeah! Seeya there!
**[03:26] Saki**
Y'know,
**[03:28] Saki**
you're pretty popular.
**[03:38] (Flashback) Fan**
I love your singing and dancing!
**[03:42] Sakura**
* I wonder what my singing*
* and dancing were like...*
**[03:50] Sakura**
*Yeah... that's how it always goes.*
**[03:53] Sakura**
* I start to get my hopes up,*
* then screw up, and then regret it all...*
**[04:08] Sakura**
*This is for the best.*
**[04:09] Sakura**
*I won't be the only one failing, otherwise.*
**[04:11] (Flashback) Kotaro**
I will never abandon you!
**[04:15] Sakura**
*I can't think about that!*
**[04:17] Sakura**
*There's no way this'll work out!*
**[04:19] Sakura**
*I know that better than anyone!*
***SIGN*** Angels Descend on Saga Rock!
**[04:26] Sakura**
I don't care, okay?! Leave me alone!
**[04:42] Ai**
I knew that was going too far.
**[04:44] Saki**
Aw, damn it! What're we gonna do?
There's, like, no time left.
**[04:48] Lily**
Will we really have to do the
show without Sakura-chan...?
**[05:05] Saki**
She's not gonna smash the door down, is she?
**[05:07] Junko**
I reinforced the door when I fixed it,
so I don't think she can.
**[05:14] Lily**
Tae-chan's crying!
**[05:15] Saki**
For real?!
**[05:19] Junko**
Uh, I think that's drool.
**[05:21] Saki**
This... seems bad, right?
**[05:23] Ai**
Maybe she's experiencing withdrawal
from the lack of attention?
**[05:43] Saki**
What the hell?
**[05:44] Lily**
I dunno!
**[06:06] Sakura**
What is this?
**[06:09] Saki**
Tae! What are you—
**[06:12] (Flashback) Sakura**
One, two! One, two!
**[06:18] (Flashback) Sakura**
Tae-chan! Pay attention!
**[06:21] (Flashback) Sakura**
One, two, one, two!
**[06:24] (Flashback) Sakura**
You did it!
**[06:25] (Flashback) Sakura**
That's great, Tae-chan!
**[06:31] Yugiri**
I see now.
**[06:33] Saki**
Sakura was real persistent
with that stuff, huh?
**[06:35] Junko**
Yes. She would never give up.
**[06:38] Lily**
And I bet that made Tae-chan happy.
**[06:40] Lily**
She probably had a lot of fun!
**[06:42] Lily**
That's why now...
**[06:44] Ai**
She's trying to teach Sakura.
**[06:46] Saki**
When someone is in trouble or screws up,
Sakura would be the first to back them up.
**[06:50] Ai**
As awkward as she could be at times...
**[06:52] Junko**
Whenever I was worried, Sakura-san was
the one who would try to encourage me.
**[06:56] Lily**
She always listened to me, too!
**[06:59] Lily**
So this time we get to pay her back!
**[07:02] Junko**
Since we're not the ones who're
really in trouble. It's Sakura-san.
**[07:07] Ai**
Let's work together again to see
if there's anything we can do.
**[07:10] Saki**
Yeah, that's it!
**[07:11] Saki**
That's what Team Franchouchou is here for!
**[07:14] Saki**
When someone's in trouble,
you have their back!
**[07:16] Saki**
Sakura! We're definitely
gonna figure out a way to—
**[07:22] Sakura**
Seriously, there's no need.
**[07:25] Sakura**
The biggest problem right now
is that you're all getting
**[07:28] Sakura**
so excited for something
I can't even remember.
**[07:31] Sakura**
Well, if you'll excuse me.
**[07:43] Yugiri**
Sakura-han. You need to stop running away.
**[07:46] Yugiri**
You have a responsibility for the
way you've encouraged us this far.
**[07:50] Yugiri**
Whether you remember it or not,
you're going to dance with us.
**[07:54] Sakura**
Of all the selfish—
**[07:56] Yugiri**
I'm fully aware how selfish
and self-centered it is!
**[08:02] Sakura**
Why do all of you care so much about me?
**[08:07] Sakura**
What difference does it
make if I'm not here?!
**[08:09] Yugiri**
Look at their faces!
**[08:13] Yugiri**
We know full well that your luck is bad,
**[08:17] Yugiri**
and that you don't remember anything...
**[08:19] Yugiri**
But be that as it may,
we need you, Sakura-han.
**[08:24] Yugiri**
This is a group of strong-willed individuals...
**[08:27] Yugiri**
If it wasn't for you, we never would've
held together for this long.
**[08:32] Yugiri**
Seeing Tae-han made me realize something.
**[08:34] Yugiri**
If the alternative is having a successful
show without you, Sakura-han...
**[08:38] Yugiri**
We would rather go on
stage and fail with you.
**[08:42] Yugiri**
Please, try to understand that.
**[08:46] Ai**
Sakura...
**[08:48] Ai**
You seem to think you're the
only one with bad luck,
**[08:51] Ai**
but you're forgetting something important.
**[08:54] Ai**
We're all zombies. We've all died.
**[08:58] Ai**
Nobody here is lucky.
**[09:02] Ai**
I don't think mistakes or
failures are a bad thing.
**[09:08] Ai**
Because they always end up helping
with whatever happens next.
**[09:11] Ai**
I believe I'll only be the best version
of me once I overcome it all.
**[09:19] Sakura**
You know your show could really
fall apart because of me?
**[09:24] Yugiri**
It's like I said. We're fully aware of that.
**[09:28] Saki**
Hey, push comes to shove,
it's shades' ass on the line.
**[09:30] Saki**
So don't sweat it.
**[09:55] Lily**
That was really amazing!
You were dancing, Sakura-chan!
**[09:58] Ai**
I guess that means your muscle
memory retained it all.
**[10:00] Junko**
She did practice the most out of all of us...
**[10:12] Sakura**
*I knew it...*
**[10:14] Saki**
Sakura.
**[10:21] Saki**
Huh, looks like it's cracked.
**[10:25] Ai**
I say we test it.
**[10:27] Ai**
What happens when peo—
**[10:29] Ai**
When zombies with such bad
luck gather together.
**[10:31] Sakura**
But you've all been rehearsing so hard...
**[10:36] Lily**
So did you!
**[10:37] Lily**
You were practicing with us, Sakura-chan!
**[10:40] Junko**
We're in this to the end.
**[10:42] Junko**
Appropriately, for zombies.
**[10:46] Ai**
Sakura...
**[10:47] Ai**
All we can really do is try our best.
**[10:51] Ai**
That's all there is to it.
**[11:03] Kotaro**
* The explosive low pressure front that was*
* over the East China Sea this morning*
**[11:07] Kotaro**
*is headed directly towards Kyushu,*
**[11:09] Kotaro**
* and is anticipated to hit northern*
* Kyushu by tomorrow evening.*
***SIGN*** Tomorrow's Weather Forecast 12/21 6PM
**[11:13] Kotaro**
*We recommend being prepared for heavy snow,*
**[11:16] Kotaro**
*and remaining indoors whenever possible.*
**[11:27] (Flashback) Sakura**
Thanks, Inui-kun!
***SIGN*** Idolhood is realized in the face of death.
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga
**[11:57] Kotaro**
Tonight is the... beginning of...
Franchouchou's true legend!
**[12:02] Kotaro**
You're going to demonstrate your
undeadly resolve and your zombie spirit
**[12:05] Kotaro**
to the people who show up!
**[12:07] FCC**
Yeah!
**[12:12] Okoba**
They say it's the heaviest Saga
snowfall on record.
***SIGN*** Franchouchou
**[12:15] Inubashi**
The buses have stopped running, too.
**[12:18] Inubashi**
These girls have the worst luck.
**[12:20] Saki**
All right, thanks! We'll be counting
on you during the show, too!
**[12:24] Staff**
Reminds me of when Iron Frill was here.
**[12:27] Staff 2**
There haven't been any concerts since, yeah.
**[12:30] staff**
I hope these Franchouchou
girls can do a good job.
**[12:33] Staff B**
Yeah.
**[12:37] Ai**
All we can do is put on the
best performance we can.
**[12:42] Ai**
So don't worry about anything else.
**[12:44] Ai**
Everything went perfect in rehearsal.
**[12:47] Sakura**
Thank you...
**[12:49] Cop**
Down comes the snow,
and down comes the hail...
**[12:55] Cop**
What other direction would it come in, even?
**[12:57] Maria**
This cold ain't so bad!
***SIGN*** ~Congratulations~
To Franchouchou
From Drive-In Tori
Management
**[12:59] Maria**
You've just gotta have the guts to take it!
**[13:01] Fan**
We just had to come see
their big solo show!
**[13:01] Death Metal A**
We're not gonna let the snow get us down!
**[13:03] Death Metal B**
Hell yeah, Franchouchou is like a
musical high pressure system anyway!
**[13:06] Inubashi**
Well, this was unexpected.
**[13:12] Kotaro**
You have to answer them.
**[13:14] Kotaro**
I know you can do it.
**[13:17] Ai**
All right, form up.
**[13:21] Ai**
It's okay. The practice
we've done until now...
**[13:24] Ai**
And the friends you're
with... have faith in them.
**[13:28] Saki**
Hell yeah! Who's ready to take over Saga?!
**[13:31] FCC**
Yeah!
**[13:49] Sakura**
*It's no good.*
**[13:50] Sakura**
* They came all this way*
* through all this snow to see us...*
**[13:53] Sakura**
* If something happens again...*
* What will I do?!*
**[14:15] Saki**
Here we go, Arpino!
**[14:18] Saki**
Glad to have you!
**[14:20] [SONG] FCC**
I knew I couldn't do it,
and spent all this time running...
**[14:24] [SONG] FCC**
At—
**[14:28] [SONG] FCC**
Even if you feel down a few times
**[14:30] [SONG] FCC**
In this life you're living
**[14:32] [SONG] FCC**
You don't need to make a face like
**[14:33] [SONG] FCC**
You've already died!
**[14:39] FCC**
So pure and bright,
my eyes used to shine...
**[14:40] Staff 1**
Call it off, quick!
**[14:41] Staff 2**
Right!
**[14:42] Kotaro**
Wait.
**[14:49] [SONG] FCC**
There's no going back, but...
**[14:52] [SONG] FCC**
Move forward!
**[14:54] [SONG] FCC**
Even if...
**[14:55] [SONG] FCC**
...you lose...
**[14:56] [SONG] FCC**
...something on the way!
**[15:39] Sakura**
*I knew this would happen.*
**[15:44] Sakura**
*And I ended up dragging them all down...*
**[16:08] [SONG] Ai**
Over and over... keep on standing up...
**[16:14] [SONG] FCC**
If you never give up the end
can become a new beginning!
**[16:20] [SONG] FCC**
Cruel and unfair as it may be,
don't let it get you down...
**[16:25] [SONG] FCC**
So that you can smile and wave goodbye...
**[16:28] [SONG] FCC**
To all your hesitations!
**[16:31] [SONG] FCC**
And dream a new dream!
**[16:42] (Flashback) Yugiri**
If the alternative is having a successful
show without you, Sakura-han...
**[16:46] (Flashback) Yugiri**
We would rather go on
stage and fail with you.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Ai**
I don't think mistakes or
failures are a bad thing.
**[16:56] (Flashback) Kotaro**
I have what it takes!
**[16:58] (Flashback) Kotaro**
Doesn't matter if you don't,
as long as I do have what it takes!
**[17:08] Kotaro**
*Answer their feelings, Sakura.*
**[17:12] Kotaro**
*Your true strength...*
**[17:15] Kotaro**
*comes when you're up against the wall.*
**[17:18] Kotaro**
*That's when it shows.*
**[17:24] [SONG] Sakura**
Rise up again!
**[17:40] [SONG] FCC**
Blast past your sanctuary and
what you'd gain or lose!
**[17:44] [SONG] FCC**
Torn up as you may be, face forward,
because those moments are the most real!
**[17:50] [SONG] FCC**
Take your limits and your trauma,
and move past it all!
**[17:54] [SONG] FCC**
Hang in there even if it's
by the skin of your teeth!
**[17:59] [SONG] FCC**
Gamble it all on hope!
**[18:04] [SONG] FCC**
And crawl your way up!
**[18:44] [SONG] FCC**
Over and over, keep on standing up!
**[18:49] [SONG] FCC**
If you never give up, the end
can become a new beginning!
**[18:54] [SONG] FCC**
Cruel and unfair as it may be,
don't let it get you down!
**[18:58] [SONG] FCC**
So that you can smile and wave goodbye...
**[19:01] [SONG] FCC**
To all your hesitations!
**[19:03] [SONG] FCC**
And dream a new dream!
**[19:08] [SONG] FCC**
Rise up again!
**[19:14] [SONG] FCC**

**[20:01] Saki**
Sakura, did you...?
**[20:03] Ai**
Are your memories are back?
**[20:05] Sakura**
Yeah...
**[20:06] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:07] Sakura**
Everyone, I'm really sorry for how I acted.
**[20:10] Ai**
It's okay!
**[20:11] Saki**
Damn it, girl, you had us worried!
**[20:11] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:14] Lily**
No wonder you looked so sharp!
**[20:16] Junko**
It really was a wonderful performance!
**[20:17] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:19] Yugiri**
It's really good to have you back.
**[20:23] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:24] Sakura**
Listen, if you really don't mind having
me and all my bad luck around...
**[20:29] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:29] Sakura**
Is it okay if we... as Franchouchou...
**[20:32] Junko**
What are you saying?
**[20:33] Ai**
Of course!
**[20:34] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:36] Sakura**
Everyone...!
**[20:37] Kotaro**
Damn it!
**[20:39] Kotaro**
What the— What is this?!
This bright eyed "we did it" stuff?!
**[20:39] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:44] Kotaro**
You dumbass zombies!
**[20:45] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:45] Kotaro**
Don't get it twisted, all right?!
**[20:47] Kotaro**
You haven't even saved the
tiniest bit of Saga yet!
**[20:50] Crowd**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[20:50] Kotaro**
Get that through your heads
and give that crowd what they want!
**[20:53] Kotaro**
Franchouchou's battle has only begun!
**[20:57] Kotaro**
Now, go, go, go! Go, go, go-go, go!

**[21:10] FCC**
Ready, go!
**[21:16] [SONG] FCC**
Every day's kind of boring!
**[21:18] [SONG] FCC**
Just can't get excited!
**[21:21] [SONG] FCC**
You don't want to spend your
youth like that, do you?
**[21:27] [SONG] FCC**
The wind is always blowing!
**[21:29] [SONG] FCC**
Blowing from somewhere, no matter what!
**[21:32] [SONG] FCC**
So catch a hold of that
wind and let it carry you!
**[21:38] [SONG] FCC**
Don't be shy! There's nothing
to be embarrassed about!
**[21:43] [SONG] FCC**
Go, boys and girls!
**[21:46] [SONG] FCC**
You only live once, you know?
**[21:59] [SONG] FCC**
Let your flag fly high!

Let your flag fly high!

Fluttering with all of
your hopes and dreams!

Say it loud for all to hear!
**[22:15] [SONG] FCC**
A new day's about to begin
**[22:17] [SONG] FCC**
And me—
**[22:18] [SONG] FCC**
And you—
**[22:18] [SONG] FCC**
Have a lot to be proud of!
**[22:21] [SONG] FCC**
Let your flag fly high!
**[22:24] FCC**
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray, let's go!
**[22:26] [SONG] FCC**
Look forward to who you become in the future!
**[22:30] FCC**
Yes! You can do it!

Walk on now with your head held high!
**[22:35] FCC**
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray, let's go!
**[22:36] [SONG] FCC**
There's no telling what happens the day
**[22:39] [SONG] FCC**
that me
**[22:39] [SONG] FCC**
and you
**[22:40] [SONG] FCC**
meet once again!
**[22:47] [SONG] FCC**
Ready, go!

Good morning.
**[00:29] Clerk A**
Morning.
**[00:29] Clerk B**
Good morning, San-chan.
**[00:32] Background grannies**
Great weather today.
**[00:33] Granny E**
San-chan!
**[00:34] Background grannies**
Kinda weather that makes you wanna go out.
**[00:35] Granny E**
Have you been eating aside from lunch?
**[00:37] Background grannies**
Sure is.
**[00:38] Ai**
Yes.
**[00:39] Granny E**
You always look so sickly,
it's got me worried.
**[00:42] Granny A**
I know! I'll bring you some
nori next chance I get.
**[00:46] Granny A**
Doesn't get much more
nutritious than Saga's nori!
**[00:48] Ai**
Thank you.
**[00:55] Chief**
Well, good morning everyone!
**[00:57] Workers**
Good morning.
**[00:59] Chief**
We've got a fine view of
Imari Bay again today,
**[01:03] Chief**
and the horseshoe crabs are looking lively.
**[01:05] Chief**
I'm hoping you'll all cook, slice,
and dry with the kinda pride
**[01:10] Chief**
folks working for the only dried
squid maker in Kyushu ought to have.
**[01:13] Chief**
Time for the company anthem!
**[01:15] Chief**
Leading us today is gonna be Tatsumi-kun.
**[01:18] Chief**
If you could!
**[01:20] Ai**
Right!

Heading on a journey, prepared to be eaten

The spirit of squid!

**[03:01] Ai**
I'm back.
**[03:03] Lily**
There you are!
**[03:04] Sakura**
Welcome back, Ai-chan.
**[03:05] Junko**
Welcome home.
**[03:07] Ai**
I brought you guys something.
**[03:08] Ai**
Tono-sama dried squid.
**[03:09] Lily**
Yay!
**[03:12] Sakura**
Tae-chan! Cut that out!
**[03:14] Sakura**
We're all gonna share that!
**[03:16] Sakura**
Enough!
**[03:17] Saki**
Hey, Ai. The water's yours if you want it.
**[03:19] Ai**
Thanks. I think I will.
**[03:23] Sakura**
I'm glad nobody found out
we're zombies today!
**[03:26] Junko**
It's been surprisingly easy
to keep it under wraps.
**[03:29] Ai**
And we've all been working for a month now.
**[03:31] Ai**
Should be fine as long as
nothing crazy happens.
**[03:34] Ai**
It's you two I'm worried about, Sakura.
**[03:37] Sakura**
I'll be careful.
**[03:39] Lily**
Tae-chan, manners!
**[03:41] Ai**
If you think about it,
**[03:43] Ai**
Yugiri probably needs to be most careful
since she has a service job...
**[03:47] Ai**
But I don't think we need to worry.
**[03:49] Sakura**
She really took to it easily!
**[03:51] Sakura**
Like she already had the right bearing.
**[03:54] Lily**
Tae-chan, stop!
**[03:54] Ai**
If we keep working, we should be
able to get out of debt eventually!
**[03:57] Lily**
Cut it out! No—
**[03:58] Sakura**
Yeah!
**[04:02] Sakura**
* The girls of Franchouchou, in the*
* last winter of the Heisei era,*
**[04:06] Sakura**
* pulled off a show at Arpino*
* with a 500-member audience.*
***SIGN*** Franchouchou's Miracle Performance on a Snowy Evening
**[04:09] Sakura**
* After that, our profile*

**[04:11] Sakura**
*with our first CD selling like hotcakes!*
**[04:14] Sakura**
* It was such a thrill to get to*
* perform at a bunch of new venues!*
**[04:18] Sakura**
*Then a month later...*
***SIGN*** Concert
**[04:20] (Flashback) Kotaro**
And boom!
**[04:21] (Flashback) Kotaro**
We're barreling right into a show at the
Ekimae Fudosan Stadium... EFS for short!
**[04:26] (Flashback) Kotaro**
And then, once you've got the crowd on fire,
**[04:29] (Flashback) Kotaro**
you'll blow them up with the new
song as an encore, like boom!
**[04:34] (Flashback) Kotaro**
Franchouchou's legend is going to
keep blowing up like a cluster bomb!
***SIGN*** Ekimae Fudosan Stadium
**[04:39] Sakura**
* So, Franchouchou was on*
* stage for a show at the EFS!*
**[04:42] Sakura**
*And the result?*
**[04:47] Sakura**
* We managed to sell 500 tickets*
* of the 30,000-person venue.*
**[04:50] Sakura**
*That's an attendance rate of 1.66%!*
***SIGN*** Attendance Rate
**[04:52] Sakura**
* We bombed in the worst way*

***SIGN*** BOMBED
**[04:55] Sakura**
*Our performance was totally shaky,*
**[04:56] Sakura**
* which meant no encore, and our new*
* song was put back on the shelf...*
**[04:59] Sakura**
*Plus, we ended up saddled with a huge debt!*
**[05:02] Sakura**
*A-boo-hoo-hoo!*
**[05:05] (Flashback) Kotaro**
Is this hell?
***SIGN*** Franchouchou falls apart at EFS
**[05:12] Sakura**
* We might've had a huge disaster,*

**[05:23] Sakura**
*We're not gonna give up!*
**[05:25] Sakura**
*As for our producer, Kotaro-san...*
***SIGN*** Jofuku's Retreat
**[05:33] Kotaro**
Pope's nose...!
**[05:34] Kotaro**
Pope's nose! Why would you...
**[05:36] Kotaro**
Why call it that?!
**[05:37] Kotaro**
Oh, you want me to save Saga?
**[05:40] Kotaro**
Gee, I wonder...
**[05:41] Kotaro**
Hell no! It ain't happening!
**[05:43] Kotaro**
Saga's doomed!
**[05:45] Kotaro**
It's the Sagapocalypse!
**[05:49] Kotaro**
That's... That's why I
wanted to take Saga and...
**[05:53] Kotaro**
Pope's nose!
**[05:55] Kotaro**
Good grief! What must that feel like?!
**[06:00] Lily**
Hey, Saga!
**[06:02] Lily**
Time for your milk!
**[06:07] Ai**
Come on, hold still!
**[06:10] Sakura**
We keep trying, but it
never turns out right...
**[06:13] Saki**
It just doesn't have the lively look,
y'know what I mean?
**[06:17] Junko**
Well, we are dead, after all.
**[06:20] Sakura**
I think Kotaro-san is the only one
who can get the color right...
**[06:24] Saki**
What the hell is wrong with Shades, anyway?
***SIGN*** One step at a time

**[06:27] Sakura**
I'll go check on him again.
**[06:31] Sakura**
Good evening.
**[06:33] Sakura**
Is he in?
**[06:40] Sakura**
Kotaro-san! Wake up!
**[06:43] Sakura**
Kotaro-san?
**[06:45] Kotaro**
What the...?! So dark! I can't see a thing!
**[06:48] Sakura**
That's because you grew
your hair out too long!
**[06:52] Kotaro**
Oh, it's Sakura. Again.
**[06:54] Sakura**
It can't be healthy to act like this.
**[06:57] Sakura**
Oh, and listen to this!
**[06:59] Sakura**
We all worked hard and managed to get
**[07:01] Sakura**
more money together for this
month than we expected!
**[07:06] Sakura**
Kotaro-san... what happened
at the EFS was a real shame,
**[07:12] Sakura**
but I think, in the end,
it'll be a good experience for us!
**[07:17] Sakura**
If we can get past this,
I know we'll be even—
**[07:19] Kotaro**
It's already over.
**[07:21] Sakura**
We're not letting it end!
**[07:22] Sakura**
I don't know when,
but we'll pay off that debt!
**[07:26] Sakura**
No matter how long it takes,
we'll do our best and keep working!
**[07:32] Kotaro**
Just go, okay?
**[07:35] Sakura**
We've got a death metal show at Geil's soon.
**[07:39] Sakura**
That was where we went on
stage for the first time.
**[07:41] Sakura**
We all decided to perform there again
so Franchouchou could get a fresh start.
**[07:46] Sakura**
We wanna sing the song we
didn't get to at the EFS.
**[07:51] Sakura**
So, please, come and see us.
**[08:03] Kotaro**
What's with you?! Huh?!
**[08:05] Kotaro**
You're all squinched up, like a pope's nose!
**[08:08] Kotaro**
The chicken, I mean! Huh?!
**[08:09] Kotaro**
Hey, Sakura, say, "I'm a pope's nose!"
**[08:12] Kotaro**
Overhead toss!
**[08:14] Sakura**
How can we get the old Kotaro-san back?
**[08:19] Saki**
Being a total wreck for a
whole month is pretty bad.
**[08:22] Junko**
It's going to be hard for Franchouchou
to operate without Tatsumi-san.
**[08:28] Ai**
I'm just guessing here, but...
**[08:31] Ai**
It might not be about the money.
**[08:34] Yugiri**
You suppose there's something
that he wouldn't tell us?
**[08:37] Ai**
When you get down to it,
it was weird that he wanted us
**[08:40] Ai**
to perform at the EFS
when he did in the first place.
**[08:42] Junko**
Now that you mention it, I can't imagine
why he thought it'd be a success...
**[08:46] Sakura**
Maybe he was... in a hurry, or something?
**[08:48] Saki**
For what?
**[08:49] Sakura**
I dunno, but...
**[08:51] Yugiri**
If Ai-han's on the right track
**[08:53] Yugiri**
and we can figure out the details,
**[08:55] Yugiri**
there may be a way to get through to him.
**[08:58] Lily**
I wonder if we could find
anything in Tatsumi's room.
**[09:08] Junko**
It's open.
**[09:10] Saki**
Hell yeah!
**[09:12] Saki**
All right, time for a raid!
**[09:13] Lily**
Yay!
**[09:14] Sakura**
H-H-Hang on a sec!
**[09:15] Saki**
Hey, hey, hey, check it out!
**[09:26] Sakura**
Nobody break anything, okay?
**[09:30] Sakura**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[09:35] Sakura**
Oh, what do I do now?!
**[09:40] Kotaro**
*Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!*
**[09:44] Kotaro**
*Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!*
**[09:47] Kotaro**
* Yeah, yeah woohoo—*
* Wait, no, not like this...*
***SIGN*** Encore
**[09:50] Ai**
This is the song we were supposed
to sing for the encore.
**[09:50] Kotaro**
*It's not "yeah, yeah, woohoo."*
**[09:52] Kotaro**
*It's more like...*
**[09:53] Saki**
Guess it's a work-in-progress tape.
**[09:54] Kotaro**
*Yeah, yeah....*
**[09:56] Kotaro**
*Yeah, yeah, yeah!*
**[09:58] Kotaro**
*Yeah, okay...*
**[09:59] Kotaro**
*Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!*
**[10:03] Ai**
This must be his usual process.
**[10:06] Ai**
You can feel the passion.
**[10:08] Saki**
Before he burned out, anyway.
**[10:11] Lily**
We never figured out why
he was in a rush, either.
**[10:16] Sakura**
But now we know how he felt
about the EFS show...
**[10:20] Sakura**
Let's make sure Kotaro-san
comes to our next one.
**[10:24] Sakura**
If we can sing the encore we didn't before,
maybe he'll turn back to normal.
**[10:30] Sakura**
If he feels better, maybe we'll understand!
**[10:33] Junko**
That might be the most effective way.
**[10:36] Saki**
No other way about it. We're gonna
hit him where it feels good!
**[10:40] FCC**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga Revenge

Here you are.
**[11:17] Cop**
Reporting in after another day
defending order in Saga!
**[11:21] Cop**
The drinks you pour me after
days like these taste so sweet!
**[11:26] Yugiri**
I'm hoping you continue to
take good care of Saga.
**[11:31] Cop**
Of course! I'll be here
to see you every night!
**[11:35] Cop**
Those eyes... makes me wanna arrest 'em!
**[11:39] Kotaro**
Never been here before!
**[11:46] Kotaro**
Wrong bar.
***SIGN*** Bar Chinatsu
**[12:06] Yugiri**
Kotaro-han...
**[12:08] Yugiri**
You're drinking too much.
**[12:10] Kotaro**
Wrong...
**[12:12] Yugiri**
Excuse me?
**[12:13] Kotaro**
I was wrong...
**[12:16] Kotaro**
I was wrong...
**[12:19] Kotaro**
I was so wrong...
**[12:25] Ai**
Okay, if we can pull that off
on stage, we'll be good to go.
**[12:29] Saki**
No reason we can't!
**[12:31] Sakura**
That just leaves Kotaro-san...
**[12:35] Saki**
We never heard from him, huh?
**[12:38] Junko**
After what Yugiri-san told us
about how he was last night...
**[12:41] Yugiri**
He was coming apart at the seams.
**[12:44] Sakura**
I don't want any of you to worry.
**[12:47] Sakura**
I'm gonna go bring him in.
**[12:50] Sakura**
The rest of you should get ready!
**[12:52] Sakura**
The show is tonight.
**[12:58] Sakura**
Please, hear me out!
**[13:00] Kotaro**
I already told you to do whatever you want.
**[13:02] Sakura**
I'm only asking you to show up!
**[13:04] Sakura**
Me and the others want to sing
your songs a whole lot more!
**[13:10] Sakura**
We want to keep being idols!
**[13:14] Kotaro**
There is nothing more I can do.
**[13:20] Sakura**
What happened to you?
**[13:24] Sakura**
Do you remember what you said?
**[13:27] (Flashback) Kotaro**
I have what it takes!
**[13:29] (Flashback) Kotaro**
I will never abandon you!
**[13:32] Sakura**
Where did that Kotaro-san go?
**[13:37] Kotaro**
Guess I had less than I thought...
**[13:40] Sakura**
You're such a jerk! I don't care anymore!
**[13:58] Sakura**
We're going to have to make this show
a success, even without Kotaro-san.
**[14:10] Death Dude A**
We don't come around for a while and now
the whole club's filled with new folks.
**[14:14] Death Dude B**
I hope Franchouchou is gonna be okay.
**[14:16] Death Dude B**
This is a heck of a spot to play
after what happened at the EFS...
**[14:20] Death Dude A**
Just goes to show how important
this show's gonna be.
**[14:23] Death Dude A**
Which means all we gotta do is support them!
**[14:25] Death Dude B**
True enough!
**[14:31] Crowd**
Idols?
**[14:33] Crowd**
What the hell?
**[14:34] Death Dude A**
Franchouchou!
**[14:35] Death Dude B**
We've been waiting!
**[14:39] Crowd**
Are these chicks for real?
**[14:40] Crowd**
Come on, get on with it!
**[14:42] Crowd**
What's their deal?
**[14:43] Saki**
Hey, we're Franchouchou!
**[14:47] Saki**
Uh, a little while back, we
tried to do a show at the EFS
**[14:51] Saki**
and, well, we couldn't let it end like that!
**[14:54] Saki**
So, next time, we're gonna pull it off!
**[14:56] Saki**
Today is gonna be our
first step towards that.
**[14:59] Saki**
We're gonna give you our best shot!
Thanks for coming!
**[15:11] Ai**
We've done a lot of shows this size before.
**[15:15] Ai**
We'll pull this one off and get
over what happened at the EFS!
**[15:20] Sakura**
It'll be okay... It'll be okay.
**[15:30] Xufu**
How long are you going to darken
my bar with that sorry look?
**[15:34] Kotaro**
Do you serve the customers
verbal abuse here?
**[15:37] Xufu**
My real customers don't sleep here
because they're scared of going home.
**[15:42] Xufu**
You said you were done, right? With this...
**[15:45] Xufu**
Genkai Zombie Energy Park Project of yours.
**[15:48] Kotaro**
It's called the Zombie Land Saga Project.
**[15:51] Xufu**
Yeah, that.
**[15:52] Xufu**
It was a crazy scheme in the
first place... Zombies as idols?
**[15:58] Xufu**
I'm sure your Saga-ettes
will get over it, too.
**[16:02] Xufu**
They'll look back on their undeaths
and think of it as a fun memory.
**[16:06] Kotaro**
The group name is "Franchouchou."
**[16:07] Xufu**
They'll be able to go on and
have normal lives as zombies.
**[16:12] Xufu**
Well, technically they're not ali—
**[16:13] Kotaro**
There's a hard deadline on this project!
**[16:17] Kotaro**
After making the biggest
screwup any idol group could
**[16:20] Kotaro**
and getting stuck with massive debt...
**[16:22] Kotaro**
Even you should know that
there won't be enough time
**[16:25] Kotaro**
to pull it off.
**[16:27] Xufu**
Please.
**[16:30] Xufu**
You've already demanded more than
is reasonable of those girls,
**[16:33] Xufu**
and they managed to pull it off.
**[16:36] Xufu**
So, if you say it can't be done...
**[16:40] Xufu**
Well, it probably can't, then.
**[16:43] Xufu**
This whole thing started
because of what you wanted.
**[16:46] Xufu**
Why not let it end when you want?
**[16:49] Xufu**
Go on and tell them,
"I've got no faith in the Saga-ettes."
**[16:54] Xufu**
"You Saga-ettes are all washed up."
**[17:06] Kotaro**
It's not the Saga-ettes...
**[17:10] Kotaro**
It's Franchouchou!
**[17:21] Xufu**
Yeah, that.
**[17:58] Ai**
* This is bad. It's gonna have*
* the opposite effect...*
**[18:01] Crowd**
Y'all done yet? Then get off the stage!
**[18:03] Saki**
We've still got another song left!
**[18:06] Crowd**
Sing it somewhere else, then!
**[18:10] Stagehand**
You gals done or what?
**[18:12] Lily**
What should we do?
**[18:13] Saki**
We're not backing off after coming this far!
**[18:15] Junko**
But... in this atmosphere...
**[18:18] Saki**
Damn it.
**[18:20] Ai**
Sakura...
**[18:22] Sakura**
*No... after we all got on stage again...*
**[18:27] Sakura**
*It can't end like this...*
**[18:36] Sakura**
Kotaro-san!
**[18:37] Kotaro**
Encore!
**[18:40] Kotaro**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[18:46] Kotaro**
Encore! Encore!
**[18:47] Crowd**
Who the hell are you?
**[18:49] Crowd**
Shut up!
**[18:50] Kotaro**
Come on, folks! All together now!
**[18:52] Kotaro**
Encore! En—
**[18:53] Crowd**
I said shut it!
**[18:55] Sakura**
Kotaro-san!
**[18:58] Kotaro**
Wow, that didn't hurt!
**[19:00] Kotaro**
Encore! Encore!
**[19:03] Crowd**
Enough!
**[19:04] Kotaro**
Encore...!
**[19:07] Death Metal Dudes**
Encore! Encore! Encore!
**[19:11] Crowd**
Quit screwing around!
**[19:17] Crowd**
Damn you—
**[19:19] Death Metal Dude A**
Been a while since we got into it!
**[19:22] Death Metal Dude B**
Let's kick some ass!
**[19:24] Crowd**
Bring it on, then!
**[19:31] Saki**
Gimme ten seconds with these clowns...
**[19:33] Sakura**
Saki-chan!
**[19:34] Kotaro**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[19:36] Kotaro**
You're idols, so sing!
**[19:39] Kotaro**
Be heard!
**[19:40] Kotaro**
Let me hear the first cry as you're reborn!
**[19:45] Sakura**
Kotaro-san...
**[19:47] Kotaro**
Sing!
**[19:52] Sakura**
Let's sing, everyone.
**[19:55] Sakura**
Let's sing!
**[19:56] Kotaro**
There goes the kick!
**[19:58] Kotaro**
Music, start!
**[20:33] [SONG] Franchouchou**
There's no turning back the clock,
just facing what's happened
**[20:36] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Take those past glories
and just leave them be
**[20:39] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Just hang on tight
**[20:41] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Never give up again
**[20:43] [SONG] Franchouchou**
If you wanna make sure
your loss has meaning
**[20:47] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Get on your feet
**[20:48] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Shake yourself off
**[20:48] [SONG] Franchouchou**
No matter how battered you are
**[20:50] [SONG] Franchouchou**
After swallowing the pain
**[20:52] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Could you stand up again?
**[20:54] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Why worry about when to give up?
**[20:58] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Do you really want to go out on a whimper?
**[21:01] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Bet on a comeback
**[21:03] [SONG] Franchouchou**
No matter how many times you fall
**[21:04] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Take deferred and stockpiled dreams
**[21:06] [SONG] Franchouchou**
And shout them out!
**[21:15] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Even if it's a fight with no chance to win
**[21:18] [SONG] Franchouchou**
That doesn't change the dream
or how bad you want it!
**[21:22] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Atone for
**[21:23] [SONG] Franchouchou**
your surrender
**[21:24] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Retract your
**[21:25] [SONG] Franchouchou**
retreat and
**[21:26] [SONG] Franchouchou**
plan for
**[21:27] [SONG] Franchouchou**
the revolution
**[21:28] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Rejoin and
**[21:29] [SONG] Franchouchou**
start again
**[21:30] [SONG] Franchouchou**
The disappointment
**[21:30] [SONG] Franchouchou**
of failure,
**[21:31] [SONG] Franchouchou**
the mistakes
**[21:32] [SONG] Franchouchou**
and regrets,
**[21:33] [SONG] Franchouchou**
can all be thrown into the fire
that signals the new start!
**[21:38] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Even if the whole world gives up on you,
keep fighting as long as you breathe!
**[21:45] [SONG] Franchouchou**
The will
**[21:46] [SONG] Franchouchou**
and the passion
**[21:47] [SONG] Franchouchou**
To return
**[21:48] [SONG] Franchouchou**
and fight back
**[21:49] [SONG] Franchouchou**
Are what you need to shine
bright and blaze on!
**[22:20] Death Metal Dudes**
Awesome!
**[22:32] Ai**
That had to be the worst
show I've ever been in.
**[22:35] Junko**
Could you even really call it a concert?
**[22:37] Saki**
Eh, close enough, right?
**[22:40] Lily**
Not even.
**[22:41] Yugiri**
Still, I wouldn't say it's far
from what we're known for.
**[22:44] Saki**
No doubt.
**[22:47] Saki**
Sakura!
**[22:49] Sakura**
S-Sorry! I wasn't listening!
**[22:51] Saki**
Damn it, girl. You wanna die?
**[23:10] Kotaro**
Good morning, everyone!

*Last time on* Zombie Land Saga Revenge*,*
**[00:03] Sakura**
* we did a show at the EFS, but it bombed,*
* and we were in big trouble!*
**[00:05] Sakura**
* We were working part-time jobs while waiting*
* for Kotaro-san and his new long hair,*
**[00:08] Sakura**
* but he never showed up*
* and I'd finally had enough!*
**[00:10] Sakura**
* We decided to put on a show to relaunch*
* the group after the EFS disaster,*
**[00:14] Sakura**
* and hairy Kotaro-san showed up*
* just to get his butt kicked!*
**[00:16] Sakura**
* Seeing that helped us get back in the groove*
* and we managed to pull the show off!*
**[00:20] Sakura**
*Our revenge really begins now!*
**[00:22] Sakura**
* These seven lives that ended in Saga*
* have been reborn with zombie bodies!*
**[00:25] Sakura**
* Even if they say it can't be done,*
* we'll sing and dance!*
**[00:27] ---**
* Because if Franchouchou*
* can't do it, who will?!*
**[00:39] Ai**
What is it, Sakura?
**[00:41] Sakura**
I just got kinda nervous once I realized
we're going to be active idols again...
**[00:46] Ai**
That's okay.
**[00:48] Ai**
Getting used to things is important,
but you still need to have a bit of tension.
**[00:51] Lily**
What exactly is Saki-chan doing there?
**[00:57] Saki**
You gotta have power to
sing and dance too, right?
**[00:59] Saki**
And we're trying to take over
the whole damn country.
**[01:02] Sakura**
You really think exercising is
gonna matter for zombies...?
**[01:04] Saki**
Of course it does!
**[01:05] Saki**
Think about how good Saganship worked.
**[01:08] Saki**
A little bit of work and
I'm gonna be ripped.
**[01:13] Sakura**
Down I go...
**[01:14] Yugiri**
Come on!
**[01:16] Sakura**
And again!
**[01:16] Junko**
Saki-san has a real talent
for pulling people along.
**[01:17] Yugiri**
That's the way!
**[01:18] Sakura**
Oof...
**[01:19] Yugiri**
Again!
**[01:20] Ai**
Something about her passion is infectious.
**[01:29] Intro**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[01:31] Intro**
A lowest point? Starting over from zero?
That's just part of the saga.
**[01:34] Intro**
Even if we burn out in the process,
we'll make it come true!
**[01:36] Intro**
This is where our revenge begins!

**[02:57] Kotaro**
Good morning. There's been an incident.
**[03:01] Kotaro**
As all of Japan celebrates
the start of the Reiwa era,
**[03:04] Kotaro**
a tiny portion of Saga is celebrating
news of the return of Franchouchou.
**[03:09] Kotaro**
Let's get some comments.
**[03:10] Kotaro**
Miss Four, do you have any thoughts
to share about getting back to work?
**[03:14] Junko**
I-I think it'll be important to make
up for the month we took off...
**[03:20] Kotaro**
Miss Three, what kind of activities are you
considering to make up for the lost time?
**[03:26] Ai**
We'll still need to do our usual jobs,
but also try new ones, right?
**[03:33] Kotaro**
Miss One, what would be an
example of these new jobs?
**[03:36] Sakura**
I-I dunno!
**[03:38] Sakura**
Maybe acting?
**[03:47] Sakura**
Or going on...
**[03:48] Sakura**
Going on stage and doing comedy skits?
**[03:49] Kotaro**
The answer is going on TV!
**[03:52] Kotaro**
Right now, you need to play up
your return to a wide audience
**[03:56] Kotaro**
and do it with as big an impact as possible!
**[03:59] Kotaro**
Bottom line is, nothing is gonna
compare to TV for that kinda thing!
**[04:02] Kotaro**
You knucklehead zombie!
**[04:08] Saki**
Give it a rest! This whole damn
mess is is your fault, anyway!
**[04:12] Kotaro**
That was a violation of zombie conduct
standards, I'll have you know...
**[04:15] Ai**
Don't you have something
you need to explain to us?
**[04:17] Kotaro**
Oh, this is so terrifying!
It's zombie harassment!
**[04:21] Kotaro**
I'll sue!
**[04:22] Kotaro**
It's an abuse of zombie power dynamics!
**[04:23] Kotaro**
So, if you want to avoid civil court,
**[04:25] Kotaro**
you'd better pull off this big job that the
great Kotaro Tatsumi landed for you all!
***SIGN*** "TV Reporters"
**[04:29] Kotaro**
Ta-da!
**[04:32] Kotaro**
You're all going to be doing a segment on
the tourism hotspot, Yutoku Inari Shrine!
**[04:37] Lily**
We all get to be on TV?
**[04:39] Yugiri**
Your Pappy might even get to see you.
**[04:42] Kotaro**
And this isn't just any segment...
**[04:45] Kotaro**
There's going to be an additional guest.
**[04:48] Kotaro**
*The* White Ryu is going to be there, too!
**[04:52] Sakura**
White... who?
**[04:55] Kotaro**
White Ryu!
***SIGN*** White Ryu
**[04:57] Kotaro**
In addition to his music career,
**[04:59] Kotaro**
he was also the host of a late-night
radio program that started in 1992,
**[05:02] Kotaro**
*So Saga Can Be Saga*, which was
popular all over the country.
**[05:06] Kotaro**
He's a Saga-bred legendary rock star!
**[05:09] (Flashback) Ryu**
The answers you're looking for
can all be found in Saga!
**[05:15] Saki**
You're talking about *the* Ryu-san!
**[05:17] Kotaro**
Indeed. It's been thirty years
since he made his debut,
**[05:20] Kotaro**
but he continues to broadcast his
message to the youth from Saga!
**[05:25] Saki**
He's so damn awesome!
**[05:26] Sakura**
I didn't know we had a
celebrity like that in Saga.
**[05:30] Saki**
You wanna die?
**[05:32] Kotaro**
Listen up, people!
**[05:34] Kotaro**
Get out there, show people you're back,
and schmooze with a real Saga legend!
**[05:39] Saki**
When?! When's this happening?!
**[05:42] Both**
Right now!
**[05:49] PA**
If you take a stroll through
the shopping district,
**[05:52] PA**
you'll get a nice view of the shrine.
**[05:54] PA**
We'll have some nice cue cards for you,
so we're counting on you for a nice job.
**[05:58] Sakura**
I-It's a pleasure to work with you!
**[06:17] Saki**
Huh... He looks different...
**[06:31] Saga**
Sorry about the holdup.
**[06:33] Saga**
The wind blowing down from
Kyogatake gave me pause.
**[06:37] Saki**
It's really him! No doubt about it!
**[06:41] Lily**
Lame.
***SIGN*** Do a nice job
**[06:44] Sakura**
H-Hello, everyone!
**[06:46] Sakura**
This is Franchouchou,
and we're back on the scene again.
**[06:49] Sakura**
Today, we're here at Yutoku
Inari Shrine with White Ryu-san!
**[06:54] Sakura**
Um, do you visit places like this often?
**[06:58] Ryu**
If you're asking me, the answer's yes.
**[07:01] Ryu**
But if you're asking the winds
of Saga... the answer's yes.
**[07:06] Saki**
Yes!
**[07:08] Ai**
Sakura, cue card!
***SIGN*** Do a nice segue into going around
**[07:12] Sakura**
R-Right! Um... nice how?
***SIGN*** Wooden Swords
**[07:20] Ai**
This shopping district prides itself
on its one-of-a-kind merchandise.
**[07:23] Ai**
Every unique shop has
its own signature items!
**[07:26] Lily**
Wow! Let's check it out!
***SIGN*** Stars of the Ariake Sea
Mudskippers
**[07:35] Saki**
Whatcha looking at, Ryu-san?
**[07:37] Ryu**
Check it.
**[07:38] Ryu**
These mudskippers are trapped in
the society called an aquarium.
**[07:42] Ryu**
They're just like you gals, struggling
with the rage of being contained.
**[07:46] Saki**
For real! That's just like us!
**[07:49] Ryu**
I wanna give these little
fellas a path to freedom.
**[07:52] Ryu**
How much?
**[07:53] Clerk**
Those are actually my pets.
**[07:55] Clerk**
You're gonna have to settle for the chopstick
rest version. They're 500 yen a piece.
**[08:03] Saki**
Freedom!
**[08:06] PA**
You think this is nice enough?
**[08:09] Producer**
I figure they seem to be having
a good time. It should work.
**[08:12] Sakura**
That's a really colorful shrine!
**[08:14] Lily**
It's so cute, like a toy!
**[08:17] Yugiri**
Cuts a different figure than the
Kurou Inari we had in Yoshiwara.
***SIGN*** Have a nice chat about the marriage god
**[08:23] Sakura**
Um, say, Number Four?
**[08:25] Junko**
What is it?
**[08:26] Sakura**
That's supposed to be a shrine for the god of marriage! Let's check it out!
**[08:29] Junk**
M-Marri—?! No, thank you!
***SIGN*** Take a nice visit to the main shrine
**[08:37] Sakura**
You think zombie prayers count?
**[08:40] Ai**
I'm sure the gods are
surprised we're even here.
***SIGN*** Time for a nice wrap-up
**[08:47] Sakura**
And so, we're just about out of time.
**[08:49] Ryu**
Hold it.
**[08:51] Ryu**
It's true that the light shines
on this part of Yutoku Inari,
**[08:56] Ryu**
but if you let that light dazzle you,
**[08:59] Ryu**
you'll never reach the destination that awaits
those who struggle through the darkness...
**[09:05] Saki**
What do you mean?!
**[09:06] Ryu**
These days, the glitz and bustle of the
big city can cover up the truth...
**[09:12] Ryu**
If you're willing to crawl to get to
that truth, I'll show you the way.
***SIGN*** Elevator
Descending Stairs
300 Yen
***SIGN*** Inner Temple
**[09:20] Ryu**
To the inner temple!
**[09:22] Saki**
The inner... temple!
**[09:24] Producer**
Uh, Ryu-san, I figure the inner temple
is gonna make for a rougher shoot...
**[09:27] Saki**
You gotta let us go!
**[09:29] Saki**
We're free now!
**[09:33] Producer**
I figured...
**[09:39] Sakura**
This is a real climb!
**[09:41] Ai**
I can only imagine how hard
it'd be if we were alive.
**[09:44] Saki**
Just you wait, inner temple!
**[09:55] Saki**
Holy crap!
**[09:57] Ai**
You can see all the way to the Ariake Sea!
**[10:01] Saki**
Ryu-san?! You okay?!
**[10:09] Ryu**
Grasping hold of something real...
is never easy...
**[10:15] Saki**
Ryu-san!
**[10:21] Producer**
I figure that's perfect!
**[10:23] PA**
Looks nice!
**[10:25] Crew**
The Franchouchou girls are doing a
decent job keeping up with Ryu-san.
**[10:29] PA**
I seriously have no idea what that
guy's saying, even if I pay attention.
**[10:34] Sakura**
Saki-chan, you can't get mad!
**[10:37] Saki**
Damn it!
**[10:41] Saki**
Ryu-san's words are like fists fulla soul!
**[10:44] Saki**
You don't use your ears! You gotta
feel what he says in here!
**[10:50] Saki**
I gotta go!
**[10:51] Sakura**
Saki-chan?!
**[10:53] Saki**
'Scuse me!
**[10:55] Saki**
Um... getting to meet you today was...
**[10:59] Saki**
I mean, you rock, Ryu-san!
**[11:01] Sakura**
Thank you so much.
**[11:04] Ryu**
I think we had a good wind blowing today.
**[11:07] Saki**
I haven't caught your show in a while,
but I'm gonna listen again soon!
**[11:12] Ryu**
It'll be waiting for you.
**[11:14] Saki**
Thanks!
**[11:17] Ryu**
Not that I'm gonna be there
much longer myself.
**[11:22] Ryu**
Things change with time, y'know?
**[11:24] Saki**
H-Hang on a sec!
**[11:26] Saki**
That show, it's...
**[11:29] Ryu**
Don't sweat it. The answers you're
looking for can still be found in Saga!
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga Revenge
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga Revenge
***SIGN*** Got it~!!
**[11:53] Sakura**
Saki-chan's been like that
ever since we got back...
**[11:56] Lily**
You think she liked that old guy?
**[11:59] Junko**
Th-That's...
**[12:01] Ai**
You mean romantically?
**[12:02] Junko**
Romance...
**[12:03] Lily**
It's not that weird, is it?
**[12:05] Yugiri**
The heart's the same,
whether you're human or zombie.
**[12:08] Junko**
Being zombies is one thing, but we're idols!
**[12:12] Lily**
Idols aren't allowed to like someone?
**[12:16] Junko**
We're not, right?!
**[12:17] Lily**
I think it'd be fine, as long
as it helps you shine brighter.
**[12:21] Junko**
You do?!
**[12:23] Ai**
It's hard to refute out of hand.
**[12:25] Junko**
It is?!
**[12:27] Ai**
I mean, actually getting into a
relationship would be different...
**[12:30] Ai**
But even in your day, idols would
get together in secret, Junko.
**[12:36] Junko**
Is that true?!
**[12:37] Sakura**
Did you have a crush on somebody, Ai-chan?!
**[12:40] Ai**
Of course not!
**[12:42] Lily**
I love all of humanity,
**[12:44] Lily**
because they all love me!
**[12:47] Yugiri**
Make sure to include me in that number.
**[12:50] Sakura**
Let's just give Saki some space for now.
**[12:57] Ryu**
*This one's from "Saga P.D.'s Dirty Harry."*
**[13:01] Ryu**
*You again, pal? "Good evening, Ryu-san."*
**[13:04] Ryu**
* "Lately there's a lady working at my*
* usual bar who talks all old-timey..."*
**[13:10] Ryu**
"And from the looks she gives,
I think she's into me."
**[13:15] Ryu**
You're all mixed up!
**[13:16] Ryu**
* Time for a song! This one's White*
* Ryu's "Do You Hate Windy Days"?*
**[13:21] Sakura**
Saki-chan.
**[13:23] Saki**
Sorry for worrying you guys.
**[13:27] Saki**
I learned about Ryu-san when
I was in middle school...
**[13:32] Saki**
Back then... I thought the whole
damn world was against me.
**[13:37] Saki**
The teachers, the other students...
**[13:39] Saki**
Whenever I wouldn't take their
crap, they tried to get rid of me.
**[13:44] Saki**
So I fought with everything I had, like it
was the only way to prove I was out there...
**[13:51] Saki**
And that was when it happened.
**[14:02] Ryu**
* No matter who you are, it's rough*
* not knowing where you belong.*
**[14:07] Ryu**
* But it's times like that you gotta*
* keep your eyes, and your ears, open.*
**[14:11] Ryu**
* You're gonna find somebody who*
* feels the same way you do.*
**[14:15] Ryu**
* Even now, me talking with you like*
* this means you're not alone.*
**[14:20] Ryu**
*Over time, you might forget all about me.*
**[14:23] Ryu**
* But running into you like this,*
* and getting to know you?*
**[14:28] Ryu**
*That's something I'll never forget.*
**[14:30] Ryu**
* And, if you ever feel nervous or alone,*
* this'll be a place you can come back to.*
**[14:36] (Flashback) Fisher**
That's mine...
**[14:50] Ryu**
* You're gonna find somebody who*
* feels the same way you do.*
**[14:56] Saki**
That's how I found Reiko.
**[14:59] Saki**
And now I'm a zombie,
running with you and the others.
**[15:05] Saki**
If it wasn't for Ryu-san, who the
hell knows what would've happened...
**[15:10] Saki**
Nah. No, I just can't accept this!
**[15:28] Dirty harry**
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[15:33] Dirty harry**
Hey, get back here! No riding double!
**[15:55] Ryu**
Next up, we've got a request for an encore.
**[15:57] Ryu**
White Ryu with "Do You Hate Windy Days?"
**[16:03] Saki**
'Scuse us!
**[16:12] Ryu**
Two little kittens...
but they don't look lost.
**[16:16] Reporter 2**
Did you hear that Franchouchou was back?
**[16:20] Reporter**
Yeah, they posted about it.
**[16:24] Reporter**
That's disgusting, man...
**[16:28] Ryu**
Okay. Seems like we've got
a hot wind blowing today.
**[16:32] Ryu**
Let me introduce you to our surprise guests.
**[16:34] Saki**
I'm Franchouchou's Number Two!
Nice to be here!
**[16:37] Sakura**
I'm F-Franchouchou's Number One!
Sorry to intrude!
**[16:43] Ryu**
So, what's up?
**[16:45] Saki**
I can't let this show end!
**[16:48] Saki**
There's plenty of folks in Saga who
don't know what to do with themselves.
**[16:51] Saki**
Hell, Saga itself doesn't know what to do!
**[16:54] Saki**
If you quit the radio, Ryu-san...
**[16:56] Saki**
What's gonna happen to them...
to Saga's smoldering heart?
**[17:01] Saki**
The only reason I'm an idol now
is because I had this show!
**[17:05] Saki**
*There are people like me out there in Saga...*
**[17:09] Saki**
*Nah! All over Japan! There're tons of us!*
**[17:12] Saki**
So, I'm begging you!
You gotta keep the show going!
**[17:15] Saki**
You need to be here for people to turn to!
**[17:18] Ryu**
That's the thing. They need
a place to turn to, not me.
**[17:24] Ryu**
I wasn't just gonna split.
**[17:26] Ryu**
I wanted to leave this place to someone with
the passion in their soul to manage it...
**[17:31] Ryu**
Hell, look at how droopy
this thing's gotten.
**[17:34] Saki**
Yeah, but who—
**[17:36] Ryu**
The answer is always in Saga!
**[17:41] Ryu**
You gals are taking over this radio show.
**[17:47] Saki**
H-Hang on a sec...
**[17:49] Ryu**
You're here right now in front of me.
**[17:51] Ryu**
What more reason do I need?
**[17:54] Saki**
Ryu-san...
**[17:55] Ryu**
You've got the kinda spark
that lights a fire in folks.
**[17:59] Ryu**
It's not just about Franchouchou.
**[18:01] Ryu**
You're gonna be a leader to all of Saga!
**[18:06] Saki**
The leader of Franchouchou, Number Two!
**[18:09] Saki**
I'm going to be following in Ryu-san's
footsteps, taking over this radio show!
**[18:15] Staff**
They sure seem to be settling this
without asking anybody else...
**[18:18] Staff**
Don't blink. You'll miss seeing Saga history!
**[18:24] Ryu**
Saga's in your hands now.
**[18:29] Saki**
Hey... What are you gonna do now?
**[18:33] Ryu**
The wind from Kyogatake is pushing me on.
**[18:37] Ryu**
It wants me to tell the
whole world about Saga.
**[18:45] Saki**
Ryu-san... I... I love you!
**[18:52] Ryu**
Don't be dumb.
**[18:54] Ryu**
I'm not the one who needs
that passion now.
**[18:58] Ryu**
It's everyone who doesn't know what to do...
No, it's Saga itself that needs you.
**[19:04] Saki**
Right.
**[19:08] Ryu**
Look me up when you're a bit older
and have grown into fine women.
**[19:30] Sakura**
He was really cool, huh?
**[19:33] Saki**
I bet Reiko probably met a guy like him...
**[19:38] Sakura**
He said we'd see him again, huh?
**[19:41] Saki**
When I'm a bit older, huh...
**[19:44] Sakura**
Saki-chan?
**[19:46] Saki**
Except, no matter how long passes,
**[19:48] Saki**
I'm never gonna grow up...
into a fine woman, huh?
**[19:51] Saki**
Since we're zombies!
**[19:56] Saki**
Huh? What the...?
**[20:02] Sakura**
Saki-chan!
**[20:04] Sakura**
Oh, what do I do, what do I do?!
**[20:10] Saki**
I don't get it, man...
**[20:37] Saki**
Come on, what're you crying for?
**[20:40] Sakura**
Because... you were...!
**[20:44] Saki**
Sorry, sorry. Quit crying! Okay?
**[20:52] Saki**
You're drying up! This is seriously bad!
**[20:54] Saki**
Aw, crap, this is really bad!
**[20:56] Saki**
Come on, Sakura, you're gonna be a mummy!
**[21:01] Fans**
We heard the show! It's up to you now!
**[21:04] Fans**
We're rooting for you gals!
**[21:06] Saki**
As leader of Franchouchou,
I've been up here letting my soul burn.
**[21:11] Saki**
From now on, so that I can lead all of Saga,
**[21:14] Saki**
my soul's gonna be blazing brighter
than ever when I'm on stage!
**[21:17] Saki**
If I do that, no matter where they are,
**[21:20] Saki**
anyone who's lost is gonna be
able to see my soul burning!
**[21:22] Saki**
Just like Lake Imari's breakwater
lighthouse, over in Uranosaki!
**[21:27] Saki**
So, here we go! "Do You Hate Windy Days?"
**[21:35] Saki**
I wanna see you all get fired up!
**[21:37] Saki**
Let's go!
**[21:38] Saki**
Come on and make some noise!
**[21:40] Saki**
Let's go!
**[21:41] Saki**
The whole world was your enemy
**[21:43] Saki**
And it had you spitting mad
**[21:46] Saki**
But the nights were still sweet,
and you had the feeling
**[21:49] Saki**
That something wild was about to happen
**[21:53] Saki**
You're a lot like me, and we
headed to the drive-in together
**[21:58] Saki**
And for some reason even the
light shining in the sky
**[22:01] Saki**
Pissed you off enough to
have you staring it down
**[22:04] Saki**
Ah, but you know,
someday you're gonna understand
**[22:10] Saki**
Ah, but I know,
someday you'll be different
**[22:16] Saki**
One day you'll be the kinda person who
**[22:19] Saki**
Can love who they used to be!
**[22:23] Saki**
Do you hate windy days?!
**[22:29] Saki**
We've got way more than this,
don't you even joke!
**[22:35] Saki**
The same way that love can just be love
**[22:41] Saki**
You just need to be you!
**[22:46] Saki**
And so, it's time to wrap up *So Saga
Can Be Saga*, featuring Franchouchou.
**[22:50] Saki**
You just need to be you!
**[22:52] Saki**
If you ever feel worried or alone,
make your way on back here.
**[22:57] Saki**
We're always gonna be on the airwaves
for you, so don't sweat it!
**[23:02] Saki**
Keep those eyes and ears open!
**[23:05] Saki**
Take your soul in your fist, and raise it up!
**[23:12] Saki**
And don't forget: the answers you're
looking for can always be found in Saga.

*Last time on* Zombie Land Saga Revenge*,*
**[00:02] Sakura**
* we somehow managed to get back*
* into doing the idol thing!*
**[00:05] Sakura**
* Our first TV appearance*
* in a while was co-hosting*
**[00:07] Sakura**
* a segment with Saga's own*
* rock star, White Ryu-san!*
**[00:10] Sakura**
* Saki-chan has looked up*
* to him for a long time,*
**[00:12] Sakura**
* so she was really touched*
* and really out of control!*
**[00:14] Sakura**
*Could it be... love? Oh, my!*
**[00:15] Sakura**
* But then, after Saki-chan learned*
* Ryu-san's radio show was going to end,*
**[00:18] Sakura**
*she went on a real tear!*
**[00:20] Sakura**
* Saki-chan opened up about*

**[00:22] Sakura**

What were you looking up?

All kinds of stuff.

Don't eat that! It's not for eating!

Hold it right there, Tae!

**[03:22] Saki**
Hell, if we're paying back our
debt and doing idol stuff,
**[03:24] Saki**
that's gotta be smooth sailing! Right?
**[03:26] Ai**
Not even close, actually.
**[03:31] Ai**
If we start getting complacent now,
**[03:34] Ai**
we're always going to be known as
the local idols who bombed at EFS.
**[03:48] Ai**
We've got to go beyond that.
**[03:50] Ai**
Rise above what people expect from us...
and what's happened to us in the past.
**[03:53] Ai**
If we can't, we'll basically
just be dead and rotting.
**[03:58] Junko**
The entertainment industry has always
been a cutthroat competition.
**[04:03] Junko**
To regress has often been
equivalent to dying.
**[04:16] Saki**
Sounds like a challenge to me!
**[04:18] Yugiri**
Right. One we'll simply have to rise to.

Hey, Ai! About the intro for tomorrow's show,
what do you think about this?
**[04:48] Lily**
Hey, hey, which do you
think makes me look cuter?
**[04:51] Ai**
Let's see...
**[04:55] Ai**
I don't think it matters, honestly.
**[05:03] Sakura**
Ai-chan, what should I do about this?!
**[05:05] Saki**
Ai! I gotta ask you something!
**[05:06] Junko**
Ai-san, please!
**[05:08] Lily**
Ai-chan!
**[05:11] Ai**
Sakura, you're out in front.
**[05:13] Ai**
Junko and Lily, you'll want
to be on the back right.
**[05:15] Ai**
Saki and Yugiri on the back left.
**[05:18] Ai**
A little further back.
**[05:24] Kotaro**
Iron Frill is coming to our town!
**[05:27] Kotaro**
Iron Frill is coming to our town...
**[05:30] Kotaro**
This show's gonna be a big one now!
**[05:34] Kotaro**
It's a raid! A raid! A raid! A raiiid!
**[05:38] Saki**
Raid this, you—
**[05:45] Kotaro**
Wrong! You will respond, "Sir, yes, sir!"
**[05:48] Sakura**
S-Sir, yes, si—
**[05:50] Kotaro**
You're a bunch of zombies
writhing around in the muck!
**[05:55] Kotaro**
Hell, no, you're lower than
zombies! You're maggots!
**[05:58] Ai**
Could you give it a rest?
**[05:59] Ai**
What's this about Iron Frill?
**[06:02] Kotaro**
Get the **** out of your ears and listen up!
**[06:06] Kotaro**
A new war is breaking out
in the wilds of Saga.
**[06:11] Kotaro**
This one's called the Saga Arena!
**[06:12] Sakura**
Saga Arena?
**[06:14] Kotaro**
And guess who's coming to
break in the new venue.
**[06:17] Kotaro**
Iron Frill!
**[06:19] Kotaro**
Inaugural performance, my ass!
It's an arena in Saga!
**[06:23] Kotaro**
Why the hell would you bring in
a bunch of Tokyo idols for that?!
**[06:26] Kotaro**
Anyway, boom!
***SIGN*** Saga Arena! Franchouchou's Counter-Inauguration Show
**[06:28] Kotaro**
I managed to cram you maggots

taste of Saga's inauguration
**[06:35] Kotaro**
**** and make sure those
little Tokyo **** girls
**[06:37] Kotaro**
never forget it. Am I clear,
maggot zombies?!
**[06:40] Saki**
Are you for real?
**[06:41] Sakura**
Iron Frill...
**[06:48] Ai**
Let's do it.
**[06:52] Ai**
We can do this.
**[06:55] Ai**
I know we can.
**[06:57] Sakura**
Ai-chan...!
**[07:00] Kotaro**
Sorry to rain on your little parade here,
**[07:03] Kotaro**
but Ai is going to be absent for this one.
**[07:05] Ai**
Wait, why?!
**[07:07] Kotaro**
You really think that's a good idea,
Ai-chan? Going out in front of Iron Frill?
**[07:11] Kotaro**
With your face belonging to their
legendary center and all?
**[07:16] Saki**
Screw you!
**[07:17] Saki**
We've been been doing this all along without
worrying about people recognizing us!
**[07:20] Lily**
And we already performed in the same
show with Iron Frill at Saga Rock!
**[07:23] Junko**
That's right! We can't go on without
Ai-san after all this time.
**[07:26] Sakura**
Franchouchou is only Franchouchou
if all of us are together, Kotaro-san!
**[07:29] Kotaro**
You maggot zombies need to
quit yapping and get to work!
**[07:32] Kotaro**
I've got solo jobs lined up for you.
**[07:35] Kotaro**
You start on those tomorrow.
**[07:37] Kotaro**
Dismissed!
**[07:41] Sakura**
Kotaro-san...
**[07:45] Saki**
What the hell do we do now?
**[07:47] Ai**
You know he doesn't listen
when he gets like that.
**[07:51] Ai**
There could always be a time when one
of us will have to sit something out
**[07:53] Ai**
because of an accident...
**[07:55] Ai**
Depending how you think of it,
**[07:57] Ai**
this could be a chance for
Franchouchou to grow up a bit.
**[08:00] Lily**
But I don't like the idea of only
you being gone, Ai-chan!
**[08:03] Ai**
It's just this one time.
**[08:05] Ai**
Let's just make this part of our
revenge for what happened at EFS.
**[08:09] Ai**
Junko... I'm counting on
you to help the others.
**[08:13] Ai**
You've got the most experience

*Now, Number Three,*

**[08:55] Ai**
*Yes, I hear that occasionally...*
**[08:58] Ai**
*It's honestly a huge honor*

*to be compared to such a legendary idol!*

Number Three for a live event in Fukuoka...

An appearance at the Nagasaki

**[09:14] Kotaro**
and for the Beppu Hot Springs Hell...
**[09:19] Kotaro**
Nope, nope, and nope, sorry!
**[09:21] Ai**
Hey! Why not?!
**[09:23] Kotaro**
Franchouchou are Saga idols,
created to save Saga.
**[09:26] Kotaro**
Any offer from another
prefecture is just a trap
**[09:29] Kotaro**
designed to capitalize on Saga's glory.
**[09:31] Kotaro**
Don't be misled.
**[09:32] Ai**
This is the first time I'm
hearing about this glory...
**[09:37] Ai**
What are you thinking?
**[09:40] Ai**
Why would you split us up
at such an important juncture?
**[09:45] Ai**
We can't afford to mess
this next performance up.
**[09:48] Ai**
If it turns into a replay
of what happened at EFS...
**[09:52] Kotaro**
Franchouchou can do a perfectly fine
job without you, thank you very much!
**[09:56] Kotaro**
Besides, isn't Junko
handling the performance?
**[09:59] Kotaro**
Don't you trust her?
**[10:01] Ai**
Junko managed to survive
as a top idol by herself
**[10:04] Ai**
when it was as hard as ever to do so!
**[10:05] Ai**
The others have gotten over the
trauma of EFS and are working hard!
**[10:09] Ai**
I'm sure they can...
**[10:11] Kotaro**
Sounds to me like there's no problem, then!
**[10:13] Kotaro**
You just need to focus on doing a
greeeat job with your solo stuff
**[10:16] Kotaro**
so the others can do a greeeat
job with their show!
**[10:19] Kotaro**
And pay back some of this freaking debt!
**[10:20] Ai**
Then shouldn't we accept all those
offers you just rejected, you idiot?!
**[10:26] Stage**
You're on!
**[10:28] Both**
Thank you, coming!
**[10:31] Junko**
*Everyone's improving steadily...*
**[10:36] Junko**
*But the way things stand,*
**[10:38] Junko**
* I don't think we'll leave an impression*
* on people who came to see Iron Frill.*

*There's not much time left...*
**[10:48] Junko**
*At this rate, it's going to happen again...*

We probably still have a way to go, huh?
**[11:00] Junko**
Oh, no. There are things to address,
but you're all definitely improving.
**[11:04] Saki**
For real?! Hell yeah!
**[11:05] Lily**
You had a scary look on your face the
whole time, so I was kinda nervous.
**[11:10] Saki**
This is gonna be a big
one for Franchouchou.
**[11:12] Saki**
We've gotta hit them with
a really big impact!
**[11:16] Junko**
To do that, let's focus on
getting one thing done at a time.
**[11:20] Saki**
Yeah. For me, that's moving too wildly
and my mic coming loose...
**[11:24] Lily**
Saki-chan, you keep dancing out of habit
in songs with choreography!

Awaken returner! You just have to want it

A miracle that you're longing to feel!
**[12:20] Ai**
Awaken returner! You just wish for it
**[12:23] Ai**
Excitement until you hit the limit
and want more, more, more, and more!
**[12:26] Junko**
If Ai-san had been alive during my day...
**[12:30] Junko**
I'm sure she would've managed to
become a top idol, even by herself.
**[12:36] Ai**
When were my dreams filled
with that yearning?
**[12:37] Junko**
I need to pull myself together!

**[13:36] Okoba**
They're gonna be performing at
the Saga Arena show, too, right?
**[13:40] Inubashiri**
As the opening act, yeah.

So, is she declaring war on us
in the opening act or what?!
**[13:56] Saki**
Bring it on, then!
**[13:58] Lily**
I think she might not even
have us on her radar.
**[14:00] Yugiri**
They're much bigger names...
**[14:03] Yugiri**
It'd only be natural.

**[14:06] Junko**
* If Iron Frill demonstrates they're*
* on a completely different level...*
**[14:10] Junko**
* We're going to be labeled third-string*
* idols... and we'll never get our revenge.*
**[14:20] Junko**
Impact...?
**[14:31] Junko**
Why?!
**[14:33] Junko**
Huh? What the...?
**[14:45] Junko**
I'm sorry! Work went overtime...
**[15:18] ---**
Thanks!
**[15:22] Saki**
What'd you think?!
**[15:23] Junko**
Wh-What do you mean...?
**[15:25] Saki**
I figured we need something with more
impact to leave a mark on Saga Arena.
**[15:30] Saki**
Look at this, Junko-chan!
Tae-chan's really got a knack for it!
**[15:38] Junko**
B-But we should probably focus
on singing and choreography first...
**[15:42] Sakura**
We'll work hard on that, too!
**[15:44] Sakura**
But there's not a lot of
time until the show...
**[15:47] Sakura**
So we thought, we have to do something
to leave a big impression on the audience!
**[15:51] Saki**
It's bad enough Ai's missing.
**[15:54] Saki**
We gotta do whatever we can to dig in...
or it's just gonna be another disaster.
**[15:59] Sakura**
Junko-chan!
**[16:01] Sakura**
Is this not gonna work...?
**[16:04] Junko**
I wouldn't say that, exactly...
**[16:06] Saki**
Then it'll work?! It'll leave an impact?!
**[16:10] Junko**
G-Give me some time to think it over, please.
**[16:14] Saki**
Got it.
**[16:16] Saki**
For now, let's try it one more time.
**[16:19] Yugiri**
Of course.
**[16:20] Lily**
I'm going to shake these maracas *sooo* much!
**[16:22] Saki**
Hell yeah!
**[16:43] [SONG] Junko**
As I saw the sun setting in the distance...
**[16:50] [SONG] Junko**
Tomorrow comes to visit
**[16:57] [SONG] Junko**
My ponytail's come half undone...
**[17:04] [SONG] Junko**
And my aching heart's dyed red like the sky
**[17:40] Sakura**
That was amazing, Junko-chan! That song—
**[17:46] Junko**
Sakura-san?!
**[17:59] Sakura**
They used that song a lot
in commercials, y'know.
**[18:03] Sakura**
I didn't know it was one of yours.
**[18:07] Junko**
It's the first song of mine that
reached the top of the charts...
**[18:11] Junko**
It became a major landmark in people
coming to know the name Junko Konno.
**[18:17] Junko**
I sing it often when I want to feel better.
**[18:21] Sakura**
I'm sorry, Junko-chan...
**[18:24] Sakura**
Maybe we were all just panicking.
**[18:27] Sakura**
It's about more than a flashy impact.
**[18:30] Junko**
No, I feel the same way.
**[18:33] Junko**
We're all so anxious,
but I didn't notice...
**[18:40] Junko**
I love being in Franchouchou.
**[18:42] Junko**
I want to make sure this
concert is a success.
**[18:46] Junko**
But... all I really know is how
to demonstrate my personal appeal,
**[18:50] Junko**
as a solo Showa idol...
**[18:54] Junko**
I don't know how to make my experience
pay off in a group environment.
**[19:01] Junko**
So far, I'm not doing a very good
job as an idol senpai...
**[19:08] Sakura**
That's not true at all!
**[19:09] Sakura**
The way you teach is really
thorough and easy to understand,
**[19:12] Sakura**
and you pay a lot of attention to all of us!
**[19:15] Sakura**
You've taught us a whole
bunch about being idols!
**[19:18] Junko**
Sakura-san...
**[19:21] Sakura**
Let's ask Ai-chan about this!
**[19:23] Sakura**
Even if she won't be on stage with us,
we can still find out what she thinks.
**[19:27] Sakura**
Kotaro-san didn't say we
couldn't talk to her!
**[19:31] Junko**
That's...
**[19:33] Sakura**
Let's find out what she thinks
about all of our ideas!
**[19:46] Shiori**
You're Franchouchou's Number Three, right?
**[19:51] Ai**
You're from Iron Frill...
**[19:54] Shiori**
You really do look just like her.
**[20:01] Sakura**
Huh? Ai-chan...?
**[20:03] Sakura**
And isn't that—?!
**[20:07] Shiori**
I've had my eye on Franchouchou
for a while now.
**[20:11] Shiori**
I know about what happened
at the EFS show, too.
**[20:14] Shiori**
You've been operating solo lately, right?
**[20:18] Shiori**
I guess that means you finally caught on.
**[20:20] Ai**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[20:21] Shiori**
You have to realize Franchouchou
is a bad fit for you.
**[20:29] Shiori**
It comes through in your performances.
**[20:32] Shiori**
You want to be in a group like Iron Frill...
**[20:35] Shiori**
The ultimate top idols,
the queens who reign at the top.
**[20:42] Shiori**
Even if no one else could
pick up on that, I could.
**[20:45] Shiori**
Because I was chasing something similar...
**[20:48] Shiori**
Our legendary original center, Ai Mizuno.
**[20:51] Shiori**
I've done everything I can to
shine brighter than she did.
**[20:58] Ai**
I'm just—
**[20:59] Shiori**
Number Three of Franchouchou!
You should join Iron Frill!
**[21:06] Shiori**
You have a lot of potential,
**[21:08] Shiori**
but if you stay in a
backwards place like Saga,
**[21:11] Shiori**
you'll never achieve the glory you're after!
**[21:13] Shiori**
Iron Frill is unbeatable
**[21:15] Shiori**
and we never spare the effort
it takes to *stay* the strongest.
**[21:20] Shiori**
We're the place someone
like you really belongs.
**[21:27] Shiori**
I don't expect an answer right now.
**[21:30] Shiori**
I'll talk to you again this weekend,
after the show.
**[21:34] Shiori**
I'll show you
**[21:35] Shiori**
the kind of performance a group like
Franchouchou could never accomplish.

*Previously on* Zombie Land Saga Revenge*,*
**[00:02] Sakura**
* Iron Frill is coming to our town!*
* There's a new venue for them to break in now!*
**[00:05] Sakura**
* That being the case, we ended up as the*
* opening for Iron Frill's concert at the Saga Arena!*
**[00:10] Sakura**
* But apparently Kotaro-san wants to avoid the*
* resemblance to their legendary original center*
**[00:12] Sakura**
* from being too obvious*
* and is keeping Ai-chan off stage!*
**[00:15] Sakura**
*After all this time...?*
**[00:16] Sakura**
* Ai-chan's been doing solo stuff while*
* we've been getting ready for the show,*
**[00:18] Sakura**
* with members of Franchouchou operating*
* separately for the first time ever!*
**[00:20] Sakura**
* We're nervous and panicky, but if nothing*
* else, we can't mess up again like we did at the EFS!*
**[00:24] Sakura**
* But then the leader*
* of Iron Frill, Shiori-san,*
**[00:26] Sakura**
*showed up and tried to recruit Ai-chan?!*
**[00:28] Sakura**
* There's absolutely no way*
* we can let that happen!*
**[00:42] (Flashback) Shiori**
Number Three of Franchouchou!
You should join Iron Frill!
**[00:48] Sakura**
It's gonna be okay! Ai-chan wouldn't
ditch us to join Iron Frill.
**[00:53] Sakura**
I mean, she's part of Franchouchou
and a zombie... She's one of us.
**[01:00] Junko**
I'm sure you're right.
**[01:05] Junko**
She'd probably scold me for
getting nervous like this.
**[01:09] Sakura**
Th-That's right! I bet she'd be so mad!
**[01:13] Sakura**
She'd be all, "Is that really what you
should be worried about right now?"
**[01:18] Junko**
Let's keep what we saw a secret.
**[01:22] Junko**
It's almost time for the
Saga Arena show, after all.
**[01:26] Sakura**
Yeah! Let's do our best!
**[01:32] ---**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[01:35] ---**
A lowest point? Starting over from zero?
That's just part of the saga.
**[01:38] ---**
Even if we burn out in the process,
we'll make it come true!
**[01:40] ---**
This is where our revenge begins!

**[03:11] Saki**
That was sweet, Tae!
That's the impact we need!
**[03:13] Saki**
We're gonna blow the doors off Saga Arena!
**[03:19] Saki**
Junko?
**[03:20] Saki**
Hey! Junko!
**[03:23] Saki**
You okay, girl?
**[03:32] Saki**
What's wrong? Do we need more impact?
**[03:35] Lily**
Maybe you should get some rest.
**[03:39] Junko**
I'm all right!
**[03:40] Junko**
Sorry. I think I'll just go get some fresh air.
**[03:50] Saki**
Going for a walk, huh?
**[03:52] Saki**
It's so close to showtime,
but she's been really out of it lately.
**[03:57] Lily**
Junko-chan's probably got it rough.
**[03:59] Lily**
She's had a scary look on her face ever
since Ai-chan started doing solo stuff.
**[04:04] Saki**
We better hold the fort down for her, then!
**[04:06] Saki**
All right, let's crank this
impact up as high as possible!
**[04:09] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:10] Sakura**
Junko-chan must still be
worried about Ai-chan...
**[04:14] Sakura**
What am I gonna do?
**[04:17] Sakura**
Maybe I could ask Ai-chan...
**[04:20] Sakura**
Not this time! Seriously,
what am I gonna do?!
**[04:27] Sakura**
Wow, what a feast!
**[04:30] Yugiri**
One of the customers from the bar
brought some ingredients in last night.
**[04:35] Sakura**
It's all Junko-chan's favorites, too.
**[04:38] Sakura**
And beef!
**[04:40] Yugiri**
This is for Ai-han's lunch.
**[04:43] Sakura**
I guess Ai-chan is recording
solo tonight, too...
**[04:49] Yugiri**
They say you can't wage
war on an empty stomach,
**[04:53] Yugiri**
and without physical strength
the mind tends to shut down.
**[04:57] Yugiri**
Our smiles are what everything else
we have is built on, right?
**[05:02] Sakura**
Let me help, too!
**[05:04] Yugiri**
Could you set everything out, then?
**[05:07] Yugiri**
Make sure to put some rice
in the lunch box, too.
**[05:10] Sakura**
Yeah!
**[05:11] Sakura**
Now, where's that rice scoop...
**[05:16] Stage-hands**
All right, looking good!
**[05:17] Stage-hands**
Here we go.
**[05:18] Stage-hands**
I'm passing by underneath!
**[05:19] Stage-hands**
Right!
**[05:21] Makoto**
It's totally spotless!
**[05:24] Yui**
Once everyone's ready,
we'll go over the set.
**[05:31] Shiori**
*This is going to be the best show possible.*
**[05:33] Shiori**
*To show her how strong we are.*
**[05:37] Yui**
Shiori, can we talk?
**[05:40] Shiori**
Yui?
**[05:41] Yui**
I heard you were trying to recruit
a new member on your own...
**[05:46] Yui**
From those local Saga idols,
whatever they're called.
**[05:49] Shiori**
Yes, that's right.
**[05:52] Shiori**
She might be working in obscurity out here,
but her skills are serious.
**[05:55] Shiori**
By gaining members with new talent,
we'll be even stronger.
**[06:00] Shiori**
Always evolving to become the strongest.
That's Iron Frill.
**[06:05] Yui**
You're the one I'm worried about, though.
**[06:09] Shiori**
Me?
**[06:10] Yui**
That local idol looks just like her, right?
**[06:14] Yui**
Just like Ai Mizuno-san.
**[06:19] Yui**
The incomparable legend,
the eternal center.
**[06:22] Yui**
A name Iron Frill will never forget.
**[06:26] Yui**
I'm willing to admit
she was a really big deal,
**[06:29] Yui**
but she's in the past.
**[06:34] Shiori**
I'm interested in her
because of her potential.
**[06:38] Shiori**
There's nothing else to it.
**[06:41] Shiori**
Okay, girls. Let's run through the set!
**[06:43] Iron Frill**
Okay!
**[06:53] Junko**
Where does Ai-san truly belong?
**[06:57] Ai**
Junko?
**[06:59] Ai**
What're you doing out here?
**[07:01] Ai**
What about practice?
**[07:08] Junko**
Excuse me...
**[07:15] Ai**
Did something happen?
**[07:16] Junko**
No... I was just taking a break.
**[07:19] Junko**
It's all right.
**[07:21] Ai**
Did you get in a fight with the others?
**[07:23] Junko**
It's really nothing.
**[07:25] Junko**
You have another job
coming up, right, Ai-san?
**[07:28] Junko**
Don't worry about us. Just focus on that.
**[07:30] Ai**
Don't try to brush me off. What happened?
**[07:36] Junko**
Ai-san... did you enjoy being in
Iron Frill more than Franchouchou?
**[07:43] Ai**
What are you talking about?
**[07:45] Ai**
You're only going to worry
the others at this rate.
**[07:48] Ai**
You realize what a critical time
this is for Franchouchou, right?
**[07:51] Ai**
Do you want a repeat of
what happened at the EFS?
**[07:58] Junko**
You... didn't say no, did you?
**[08:11] Sakura**
Ai-chan! Welcome home.
**[08:13] Sakura**
Did you see Junko-chan out there?
Dinner's almost... ready...
**[08:21] Sakura**
Huh? Did she... not hear me?
**[08:28] Sakura**
Sure, that must be it...
**[08:46] Junko**
Ai, you stupid jerk!
**[08:52] Dirty Harry**
Hey, what's all this? What's up, youngster?
**[08:55] Dirty Harry**
You heartbroken?
Got them unrequited feelings?
**[08:58] Dirty Harry**
I get that, I do.
**[09:00] Dirty Harry**
Love can seriously be a real jerk.
**[09:04] Dirty Harry**
But we just keep falling into it, don't we?
**[09:08] Dirty Harry**
You need a shoulder to cry
on through the night?
**[09:09] Dirty Harry**
Oh, wait, you're underage! That's no good!
**[09:13] Dirty Harry**
A cop can't be seen soliciting—
***SIGN*** YOU SUC
***SIGN*** YOU'LL SUCCEED
**[09:48] Ai**
I know, I know.
**[10:10] Kotaro**
What are you doing?
**[10:12] Junko**
Uh, I...
**[10:14] Kotaro**
Is everything ready for the show?
**[10:21] Junko**
I think Ai-san might leave the group!
**[10:25] Junko**
Iron Frill offered to recruit her...
**[10:28] Junko**
They said Franchouchou wasn't
good enough for her...
**[10:32] Junko**
I can't imagine Franchouchou
without Ai-san...
**[10:37] Junko**
But when I think about how talented she is—
**[10:42] Kotaro**
Franchouchou isn't good enough for Ai?
**[10:46] Kotaro**
Don't make this about her.
**[10:48] Kotaro**
What about you?
**[10:50] Kotaro**
You think it's perfectly fine if a member
of your group gives up on you and bails?
**[10:54] Kotaro**
You think you're not worth more than that?
**[10:56] Kotaro**
Are you willing to accept that yourself?
**[11:02] Kotaro**
Because that's what you're saying!
**[11:04] Kotaro**
That you don't have any appeal yourself!
**[11:06] Kotaro**
That you can't stop a friend from leaving!
**[11:09] Kotaro**
You're admitting it and not
even trying to stop her!
**[11:12] Kotaro**
Who the hell is going to follow someone
who's lost sight of their own shine
**[11:16] Kotaro**
and doesn't even believe
they're worth standing by?!
**[11:23] Kotaro**
Smash it.
**[11:25] Kotaro**
This axe of mine has been fighting
by my side my whole life.
**[11:30] Kotaro**
With every roar it lets loose,
my soul is stirred.
**[11:34] Kotaro**
As long as it can keep making music,
I can keep moving forward.
**[11:38] Kotaro**
Through all the obstacles
that stand in the way...
**[11:40] Kotaro**
The logic, the limits,
**[11:41] Kotaro**
turning defeat into victory!
Turning impossibilities into miracles!
**[11:46] Kotaro**
And, through it all, I was forged into
the legendary producer Kotaro Tatsumi!
**[11:55] Junko**
Weren't you really depressed
just the other day...?
**[11:59] Kotaro**
And this axe is inside of your soul, too!
**[12:05] Kotaro**
So smash through!
**[12:06] Kotaro**
Smash through your unglamorous self!
Through your excuses for giving up!
**[12:10] Kotaro**
All the limitations you've set for yourself!
If there's something you really want...
**[12:13] Kotaro**
Destroy everything in the way and take it!
**[12:19] Kotaro**
Zombie or not, as long as you shine brightly,
people around you will follow!
**[12:25] Kotaro**
So smash through, Junko Konno!
**[12:38] Sakura**
Junko-chan?
**[12:39] Saki**
Junko!
**[12:40] Lily**
You're late! I don't know if
Tae-chan can hold on much longer!
**[12:49] Junko**
It's time to eat.
**[13:01] Junko**
I know what we need to do at Saga Arena.
**[13:11] Everyone else**
Time to eat!
**[13:13] Yugiri**
Junko-han, have a bit of this.
**[13:15] Saki**
Good stuff!
**[13:38] Ai**
You were too late.

**[14:05] Yugiri**
Kotaro-han's touch with cosmetics
really is something else.
**[14:10] Lily**
I wonder what he does different.
**[14:14] Saki**
We just can't seem to get
that "alive" feel...
**[14:19] Sakura**
No!
**[14:20] Sakura**
Tae-chan, not yet!
**[14:23] Lily**
Tae-chan, stop it!
**[14:25] Kotaro**
That should do it.
**[14:26] Kotaro**
Now get out there and smash hard!
**[14:28] Junko**
Right!
**[14:36] Shiori**
What do you mean you're
not going on stage today?!
**[14:40] Ai**
It's just the way our plans worked out.
**[14:42] Ai**
I thought you should know.
**[14:44] Shiori**
We came here to give the
best performance possible!
**[14:48] Shiori**
But... Franchouchou without you
is just a group of nobodies!
**[14:54] Ai**
You really shouldn't
underestimate Franchouchou.
**[14:57] Ai**
They've been growing this whole time.
**[15:00] Ai**
Even I need to be careful if I don't
want them to leave me behind.
**[15:04] Ai**
Watch their performance.
I'm sure you'll understand.
**[15:10] Shiori**
I'm looking forward to it, then.
**[15:18] Crowd**
Who's the opening act again?
**[15:20] Crowd**
You know, *them*. The regional
idols who bombed at the EFS.
**[15:24] Crowd**
Oh, I saw that online!
Are they gonna be able to manage?
**[15:28] Death Metal Dude 2**
This is their first big show in a while...
**[15:31] Death Metal Dude 2**
You think they'll be okay?
**[15:33] Death Metal Dude 1**
And in enemy territory, too...
**[15:39] Ai**
You were never really worried
about my identity, were you?
**[15:44] ---**
**[16:24] DMD2**
This rocks!
**[16:25] DMD1**
The death metal girls are back!

**[16:31] [SONG] Song**
There's no doubt anymore in my chest

Yes!

No end in sight
**[16:35] [SONG] Song**
None!
**[16:35] [SONG] Song**
So do it again!
**[16:36] [SONG] Song**
It's a tall order to survive in this world
**[16:38] [SONG] Song**
You better keep your eyes in
front or that's game over
**[16:41] [SONG] Song**
Why! This is my way, even if you fall apart
**[16:43] [SONG] Song**
Your whole body will wake
up again, just like this

**[16:48] [SONG] Song**
Now get down until you fall apart again
**[16:53] [SONG] Song**
The feelings roaring from inside (Don't Stop)
**[16:58] [SONG] Song**
Will now ring out, trembling with
soul (We can make it through)
**[17:02] Song**
With your dream in front of you
**[17:03] [SONG] Song**
Even if you lose hope, life goes on
**[17:05] [SONG] Song**
If fate holds you back, here's where you break out
**[17:07] [SONG] Song**
If logic's in the way right now,
you need to smash on through!
**[17:11] [SONG] Song**
The things you'll regret not doing (Don't stop)
**[17:16] [SONG] Song**
The feelings you can't seem
to let go of (We are ready)
**[17:20] [SONG] Song**
Until you make them yours
**[17:21] Song**
Emotions going beyond their limits
**[17:23] Song**
Even gonna smash through my old self
**[17:25] [SONG] Song**
Take the passion that's surging forth
**[17:28] Song**
And let it turn into a roar!
**[17:29] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:31] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:32] [SONG] Song**
Let's take it and hold it high for all to see!
**[17:34] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:35] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:36] [SONG] Song**
Just do it, until the day
you finally to grab on
**[17:38] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:40] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:41] [SONG] Song**
Let's take it and hold it high for all to see!
**[17:43] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:44] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:45] [SONG] Song**
Just do it, survive until
you manage to grab on!
**[18:39] Ai**
Dummy, it doesn't work that way!
**[18:41] Junko**
Now that you mention it...
**[18:45] Sakura**
Ai-chan! Junko-chan!
**[18:48] Junko**
We're okay.
**[18:50] Ai**
Because we're zombies.
**[18:55] Kotaro**
* As long as you shine brightly,*
* people around you will follow!*
**[19:20] Death Metal Dudes**
Here we go again!
**[19:36] [SONG] Song**
When were my dreams filled
with that yearning?
**[19:40] [SONG] Song**
Was it all just a story hidden in my heart?
**[19:43] [SONG] Song**
It's time to start changing for the better!
**[19:45] [SONG] Song**
Dancing these steps that
are never gonna end!
**[19:46] [SONG] Song**
And right before you run out of energy
**[19:48] [SONG] Song**
You wanna sketch out the best future you can
**[19:53] [SONG] Song**
But I'm a little scared...
**[19:58] [SONG] Song**
That can't be true, and you know it!
**[20:00] [SONG] Song**
You'll be okay, so just...
**[20:03] [SONG] Song**
Fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight, fight, fight!
**[20:07] [SONG] Song**
Awaken now dreamer! Let your heart dance!
**[20:10] [SONG] Song**
And it's okay...
**[20:11] [SONG] Song**
...even if it's a bit crazy
**[20:13] [SONG] Song**
Awaken now dreamer!
You want that excitement!
**[20:17] [SONG] Song**
The feeling...
**[20:17] [SONG] Song**
...of wanting to do more
**[20:19] [SONG] Song**
Gets bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger...
**[20:39] Yui**
How exactly do those special effects work?
**[20:47] [SONG] Song**
Unlimited dreaming!
**[20:52] [SONG] Song**
We're never giving up!
**[20:55] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! You just have to want it
**[20:58] [SONG] Song**
A miracle that you're longing to feel!
**[21:01] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! You just wish for it
**[21:04] [SONG] Song**
Excitement until you hit the limit
and want more, more, more, and more!
**[21:09] [SONG] Song**
Aim for it! Reach for it!
The greatest! The highest!
**[21:12] [SONG] Song**
There's not a thing to fear,
not a single one!
**[21:15] [SONG] Song**
Let it reach all the way out,
our passionate feelings!
**[21:19] [SONG] Song**
With our souls singing free!
**[21:21] [SONG] Song**
Cut in!
**[21:33] Shiori**
That was a great performance.
**[21:36] Shiori**
To be honest, I didn't expect
anything on that level.
**[21:41] Shiori**
But now you're going to see
what the best look like.
**[21:43] Shiori**
You'll be able to tell
where you really belong.
**[21:47] Ai**
Hey—
**[21:49] Junko**
Number Three is a member of Franchouchou.

*Previously on* Zombie Land Saga Revenge*,*
**[00:02] Sakura**
*we were set to open for Iron Frill!*
**[00:04] Sakura**
* As Franchouchou was trying to make a*
* super strong impact, the leader of Iron Frill,*
**[00:08] Sakura**
* Shiori-san, shocked us by*
* trying to headhunt Ai-chan!*
**[00:10] Sakura**
* No, no, no! If we say you can't*
* have Ai-chan, then you can't!*
**[00:13] Sakura**
* Then, after we totally*
* nailed our performance,*
**[00:15] Sakura**
*Shiorin decided to declare us their rivals?!*
**[00:17] Sakura**
*Okay, we'll take it!*
**[00:19] Sakura**
*Time to go, go, go down this road to revenge!*
**[00:30] Kotaro**
Good morning, everyo—
**[00:31] Lily**
Good morning!
**[00:37] Everyone**
G-Good morning?
**[00:39] Lily**
Very good! I can see you all have
your magical smiles ready today.
**[00:42] Lily**
Huh? There seems to be
one exception, though!
**[00:46] Kotaro**
G-Good m-morn...
**[00:49] Lily**
I can't hear you!
**[00:50] Lily**
Manners are fundamental, remember?
**[00:52] Kotaro**
S-Sorry...
**[00:54] Kotaro**
Huh? What... What is this?
**[00:57] Saki**
What's the big idea?
**[00:59] Lily**
Well, I was thinking about how I
want to shine even brighter!
**[01:03] Lily**
We got that job hosting a regular radio show,
**[01:05] Lily**
the show at Saga Arena went great,
**[01:07] Lily**
and Iron Frill declared us their rivals...
**[01:10] Lily**
Everyone's been working super
hard for their revenge, right?
**[01:13] Lily**
So I wanna do that, too!
**[01:15] Lily**
I thought if I could get a miracle
power-up for my magicalness,
**[01:17] Lily**
it'd be a wonderful
level-up for Franchouchou!
**[01:21] Saki**
That's a lot of spunk for a shrimp.
**[01:24] Yugiri**
I did notice Lily-han thinking
a lot about something lately...
**[01:29] Yugiri**
This must be it.
**[01:30] Sakura**
That's great, Lily-chan!
**[01:32] Ai**
Do you have a specific plan?
**[01:34] Ai**
You bet!
***SIGN*** Japanese

**[01:36] Ai**
And boom!
**[01:37] Lily**
For the first time ever, a member of
Franchouchou won't be limited to local TV...
**[01:40] Lily**
but will be appearing on
a big national network!
**[01:44] Sakura**
N-National TV?!
**[01:45] Saki**
Seriously?! That's nuts!
**[01:48] Lily**
On *Japanese Got Performance*, anything goes!
**[01:51] Lily**
It's a freestyle audition show!
**[01:55] Lily**
If you manage to win at the regional
preliminaries held all over the country...
**[01:59] Lily**
you get to enter the
national finals in Tokyo!
**[02:04] Lily**
It's a wonderful chance for Franchouchou
to make our big national debut!
**[02:09] Junko**
TV is Lily-san's specialty, after all.
**[02:12] Sakura**
I know you can win this, Lily-chan!
**[02:14] Saki**
When's this show gonna be filming, anyway?
**[02:18] Lily**
Right now!
**[02:26] ---**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[02:28] ---**
A lowest point? Starting over from
zero? That's just part of the saga.
**[02:31] ---**
Even if we burn out in the
process, we'll make it come true!

This is where our revenge begins!

* Pappy, I'm gonna be on national TV*
* for the first time in a while...*
**[04:04] Lily**
*Make sure to watch!*
**[04:05] Sakura**
We're gonna cheer for you with
everything we've got, okay?
**[04:09] Sakura**
Ai-chan, that's not how you hold towels
in the cheering section. Like this!
**[04:14] Ai**
I-Isn't this kind of overdoing it?
**[04:16] Sakura**
You can't get embarrassed, Ai-chan!
**[04:18] Sakura**
Next is how to swing these pen lights.
**[04:20] Sakura**
You wanna take both
and spread them out like this...
**[04:23] Sakura**
Hold 'em tight so you don't drop them
**[04:23] Junko**
Do you suppose she used to cheer for
Ai-san like that when she was alive?
**[04:24] Sakura**
and make big arcs that
are visible from stage!
**[04:26] Sakura**
It works great! I remember you
saw me once thanks to these.
**[04:27] Yugiri**
Ai-han was a lucky girl.
**[04:38] Comedians**
Huh?
**[04:39] Comedians**
You gals are Franchouchou, right?
**[04:41] Comedians**
That was a hell of a show at Saga Arena.
**[04:44] Lily**
Thanks! I'm gonna put on a
magical show again today.
**[04:48] Agent**
Excuse me!
**[04:50] Agent**
Could you clear the way? Thank you so much!
**[04:58] Light**
I'm Light Oozora!
**[04:59] Light**
Thank you all for looking after me today.
**[05:04] Comedians**
Light Oozora?! The child actor prodigy?!
**[05:06] Comedians**
He's cute as a button!
**[05:08] Saki**
Who the hell is Light?
**[05:10] Junko**
I've seen him a bit here and there on TV.
**[05:13] Junko**
He's an excellent actor.
A bit like Lily-san before she died.
**[05:17] Ai**
Why would a famous child actor be
in a regional competition in Saga?
**[05:21] Light**
Oh, are you all Franchouchou?
**[05:26] Lily**
You know us?
**[05:27] Light**
Yeah! You must be amazing if
Iron Frill thinks of you as rivals.
**[05:32] Light**
I was hoping I'd run into you if
I came to Saga! This is great!
**[05:37] Light**
Are you all entering the contest?
**[05:40] Lily**
Nope, it's just me today.
**[05:43] Lily**
Nice to meet you, Light-kun.
**[05:45] Light**
Likewise, it's a pleasure!
**[05:50] Light**
What the hell is this, huh?
**[05:52] Light**
You seriously expect me to wait in
the same green room as the peons?
**[05:56] Light**
I'm Light Oozora, damn it.
**[05:58] Manager**
I am so sorry, Light-kun!
I'm getting something ready, so...
**[06:02] Light**
You're should have it ready beforehand!
**[06:05] Light**
How long have you been my manager?
**[06:12] Light**
What the hell is this?
**[06:14] Light**
It literally says in my profile that I only
eat the pudding roll cakes from Semplice!
**[06:18] Manager**
They don't have any locations in Saga...
**[06:20] Light**
Well, Saga sucks then, doesn't it?
**[06:25] Light**
That's part of why I bothered
coming down here, though.
**[06:29] Light**
There's no way there are any decent
performers out here in the sticks.
**[06:32] Light**
In other words, I've got a 100% shot
at winning a ticket to the finals.
**[06:38] Manager**
What about Franchouchou?
**[06:40] Manager**
People have been talking about them
lately, and one is in the contest...
**[06:42] Light**
Ishimura...
**[06:44] Manager**
R-Right!
**[06:47] Light**
How long have you been
watching me be legendary?
**[06:51] Light**
Franchouchou? Seriously?
**[06:54] Light**
My plan is perfect!
**[06:56] Light**
I'm gonna have the judges
drowning in their own tears.
**[07:00] ---**
U-Uh...
**[07:04] Host**
*Japanese Got Performance!*
**[07:07] Host**
We're here to see what diamonds in the
rough are waiting to be found in Saga!
**[07:11] Host**
Here are our judges,
who need no introduction!
**[07:18] Saki**
Oh, crap! This is what national TV is like?!
**[07:22] Yugiri**
Big city TV is certainly glamorous.
**[07:27] Lily**
Light-kun said what?
**[07:28] Sakura**
Yeah! He seems to run really hot and cold!
**[07:31] Sakura**
And he's got some kind of plan!
**[07:34] Sakura**
He said he came to Saga because
he thought he could win for sure!
**[07:38] Lily**
Really? Well, you don't need to worry!
**[07:42] Lily**
I'm still just as wonderful.
**[07:44] Lily**
Sakura-chan, I'm counting on your cheers!
**[07:55] Saki**
What's the holdup? You're the one
who knows all this cheering stuff!
**[07:58] Sakura**
Sorry! We got kind of distracted...
**[08:00] Host**
Entry number 13, Kotaro Tatsumi-san!
**[08:06] Judge 1**
What kind of performance
do you have for us today?
**[08:09] Kotaro**
W-Well, I was going to do an impersonation.
**[08:12] Judge 2**
What's the impersonation of?
**[08:15] Kotaro**
R-Right, th-this is... a mudskipper,
during mating season.
**[08:32] Saki**
You can't do that on TV...
**[08:34] Ai**
Lily has to go on next... after that?
**[08:37] Host**
Next is entry number 14,
Franchouchou's Number Six!
**[08:42] Sakura**
Number Six!
**[08:44] Saki**
Number Six!
**[08:52] Lily**
I'd like to thank you all for
taking the time to join us
**[08:57] Lily**
all the way out here in Saga today.
**[09:02] Lily**
No matter how much the world changes,
the ties that bind a family,
**[09:05] Lily**
and the love they share for one another,
always stay the same.
**[09:09] Lily**
Now, there was once a family...
**[09:12] Lily**
That consisted of a skilled
craftsman named Kuma, his wife,
**[09:14] Lily**
and their son Kamekichi...
**[09:15] Lily**
"Now, now, don't worry about the change!
Just keep it between you and me."
**[09:20] Lily**
"But before, you were fit to be tied
over that little bit of money!"
**[09:24] Lily**
"I guess some things get better with age!"
**[09:26] Lily**
"He didn't drink at all?"
**[09:28] Lily**
"That's right! Pa is doing better now!"
**[09:32] Lily**
"He's been working hard, and he
keeps on asking about you, Ma!"
**[09:36] Lily**
"I think he still... he must still...!"
**[09:39] Lily**
"You're the nail that keeps this
family together, sweetie."
**[09:41] Lily**
"I'm a nail?
**[09:43] Lily**
That must explain why you let me have
it with that hammer yesterday!"
**[09:50] Saki**
Damn it... can't believe the
shrimp's got me crying...
**[09:54] Ai**
She really is a child actor prodigy.
**[09:56] Sakura**
That was amazing, Number Six!
**[10:00] Lily**
Oh, Light-kun! Good luck!
**[10:03] Light**
Thanks for warming the crowd up.
**[10:07] Host**
We now have our final
competitor for this round.
**[10:10] Host**
You all recognize him! It's the
famous child actor, Light Oozora!
**[10:15] Host**
Come on down!
**[10:33] Light**
Never give up!
**[10:44] Judge 2**
You can do it...

It's gotta be Light-kun taking it, right?
**[12:08] Saki**
Man, it seems like everyone's convinced
this Light kid's gonna win.
**[12:13] Ai**
Well, he created a lot of momentum.

Can I help you with something?
**[12:42] Lily**
I thought you did a great job.
**[12:44] Lily**
But I'm not gonna give up either!
**[12:46] Lily**
I'm gonna sparkle and twinkle!
**[12:50] Light**
That space case act of yours?
**[12:51] Light**
Keep that up two years from now and
people are just gonna think it's sad.
**[12:55] Lily**
That goes for you, too, right?
**[12:58] Light**
I'm not like you!
**[12:59] Light**
I'm gonna be on Broadway someday!
**[13:02] Lily**
Broadway?
**[13:04] Light**
Surprised? I bet you are.
**[13:06] Light**
Most kid actors are only
living in the moment.
**[13:09] Light**
"So cute." "So little." "So lovable."
**[13:12] Light**
Nobody's gonna give a rat's ass about that
stuff once we get out of elementary school.
**[13:16] Light**
We're getting older whether
we like it or not!
**[13:23] Light**
That's where I'm different.
**[13:24] Light**
I'm gonna blow up bigger than everybody
else and fly off to the next level!
**[13:29] Light**
Then I'm gonna make a new legend,
one that only the adult me could pull off.
**[13:35] Light**
Today's my first step towards that.
**[13:37] Light**
So keep up the cute act and enjoy the
show when I blow you out of the water.
**[13:50] Sakura**
Lily-chan... that's...
**[13:53] Lily**
It's fine! I'm going to keep twinkling,
no matter what!
**[13:57] Lily**
I'm gonna win big so Franchouchou
can get their revenge!
**[14:01] Sakura**
We're all with you!
**[14:04] Sakura**
I know you can do this, Lily-chan!
**[14:09] Sakura**
Yeah!
**[14:13] Judge 2**
The performances in the
preliminaries were amazing.
**[14:16] Judge 2**
Now, I hear you have a song for us?
**[14:18] Judge 3**
Is it going to be a nursery rhyme?
**[14:25] Light**
I'm going to sing...
**[14:29] Light**
"Life."
**[14:31] Light**
A flower blooms so beautifully
**[14:40] Sakura**
This song... it's...!
**[14:42] Junko**
The song that Lily-san planned to sing!
**[14:42] Light**
A blessing from the earth
**[14:44] Saki**
That's really bad, right?!
**[14:46] Ai**
If she sings the same song right after him,
it's going to seem like rehash.
**[14:51] Ai**
If it comes to that,
I don't like her chances...
**[14:54] Light**
With the crystal clear rivers carrying joy
**[15:05] Light**
and peace to all around
**[15:05] Lily**
*What do I do? What should I do, Pappy?*
**[15:09] Lily**
*Everyone... what do I do?*
**[15:12] (Flashback) Sakura**
We're all with you!
**[15:16] Light**
Letting go of all fear
**[15:26] (Flashback) Light**
I'm gonna blow up bigger than everybody
else and fly off to the next level!
**[15:27] Light**
And having faith
**[15:31] Lily**
*I can do this.*
**[15:39] Light**
With the words acting as a shield from harm
**[15:49] Lily**
*For the group!*
**[15:50] Light**
Let's sing the praises of life
**[15:54] Lily**
I can take flight, too!
**[16:18] Host**
Seems things might already
be settled here, folks...
**[16:20] Host**
Is this gonna be okay?
We still have another finalist left...
**[16:53] Lily**
With the crystal clear rivers carrying joy!
**[16:56] Sakura**
Is this... "Life"?
**[16:58] Junko**
She came up with an alternate arrangement?
**[16:58] Lily**
And peace to all around!
**[17:06] Sakura**
Number Six!
**[17:08] FCC**
Number Six!
**[17:59] Sakura**
That was great!
**[18:04] Judge 1**
Fantastic!
**[18:06] Judge 1**
That was so perfect, it's hard to believe
it was an improvised arrangement.
**[18:10] Judge 2**
What did you think when you found out
you were both going for the same thing?
**[18:13] Lily**
I remembered my friends in Franchouchou.
**[18:16] Lily**
See, we've all been through a lot...
**[18:21] Lily**
A lot of times we thought
we couldn't keep going, too...
**[18:25] Lily**
But none of us ever gave up!
**[18:29] Lily**
So I knew I could go on, too!
**[18:32] Lily**
So that Franchouchou can
be even more eternal,
**[18:35] Lily**
I thought I had to fly high here!
**[18:44] Judge 1**
Those were both incredible performances,
**[18:47] Judge 1**
but the way this show works is
we have to choose a winner.
**[18:52] Judge 1**
And the winner today is...
**[19:03] Judge 1**
the performer who showed potential
**[19:04] Judge 1**
beyond what he's already
accomplished as a child actor,
**[19:08] Judge 1**
Light Oozora! You win!
**[19:14] Lily**
Congratulations.
**[19:33] Manager**
Light-kun? Where did you go?
**[19:38] Manager**
It's almost time for our flight!
**[19:48] Light**
*I couldn't have pulled that off...*
**[19:51] Light**
* I lost. I might've been picked as*
* the winner, but as a performer...?*
**[19:57] Lily**
You should be proud, Light-kun.
**[20:02] Light**
Are you here to laugh at me?
**[20:05] Lily**
You're the one who won the contest, y'know.
**[20:08] Lily**
That means you did the better job.
**[20:10] Lily**
That's how the business works.
**[20:13] Lily**
Besides, you're gonna rise to
the top on Broadway, right?
**[20:15] Lily**
You can't let something
like this stop you.
**[20:21] Light**
Y'know this is the boys' bathroom, right?
**[20:23] Light**
It's fine. It's just me, after all.
**[20:28] Light**
Y'know, I'm always going to be twinkling.
**[20:32] Light**
That goes for everyone in Franchouchou.
**[20:34] Light**
We're going to be twinkling stars forever!
**[20:37] Light**
That's why I decided to become a super
twinkling star to help the others!
**[20:43] Light**
You've got something I could
never have, Light-kun.
**[20:47] Light**
So... you should make that
dream of yours come true.
**[20:59] Light**
You make it sound easy.
**[21:11] Light**
Drop by Tokyo sometime.
**[21:13] Light**
We can work on something together.
**[21:16] Light**
See ya.

*Previously on* Zombie Land Saga Revenge*...*
**[00:02] ---**
* It's been a few months since we bombed at*
* EFS as hard as any idol group ever has,*
**[00:05] ---**
* and things are starting to look*
* up a bit for Franchouchou!*
**[00:09] ---**
*Everyone is feeling a lot more motivated,*
**[00:10] ---**
* and Lily-chan even went on a*
* talent TV show on her own!*
**[00:13] ---**
*Her magical power got her to the finals,*
**[00:15] ---**
* but then she was up against*
* a child acting prodigy!*
**[00:17] ---**
*And they were set to sing the same song?!*
**[00:19] ---**
* That's some band-standingly,*
* soul-strainingly bad news!*
**[00:20] ---**
* But our Lily-chan was able to whip up*
* a bold, improvised scat arrangement!*
**[00:23] ---**
* It was so seriously magical*
* that it had everyone*
**[00:25] ---**
*going shoobieshoobie deeba daba beba bop!*
**[00:38] Inubashiri**
You look like you're
racking your brain again.
**[00:41] Ookoba**
In another five years, you're
gonna have the same look.
**[00:44] Inubashiri**
I saw the chatter online, too.
**[00:46] Inubashiri**
About the resemblance to Lily Hoshikawa.
**[00:48] Inubashiri**
More people are noticing Number Three
and Four's resemblances, too.
**[00:51] Ookoba**
Well, they're better known than ever thanks
to that radio show and the Iron Frill business.
**[00:56] Inubashiri**
Most people are just making fun of them
for being a collection of lookalikes.
**[01:00] Inubashiri**
I guess that comes with the territory
when you're trying to get famous.
**[01:03] Inubashiri**
You were the first one to notice
Number Four looking like Junko Konno.
**[01:07] Inubashiri**
You should've started
writing stuff right away.
**[01:10] Ookoba**
I don't wanna write a bunch
of diet speculation.
**[01:12] Inubashiri**
Well, the only theory that makes sense
**[01:15] Inubashiri**
is that their producer is collecting
a bunch of lookalikes.
**[01:17] Inubashiri**
I bet the other girls probably
look like somebody, too.
**[01:20] Inubashiri**
Only other explanation is that they
were revived, like a bunch of zombies.
**[01:23] Ookoba**
If you're serious, maybe you wanna
go write for that occult mag *Mu*.
**[01:25] Inubashiri**
I'll head there for an interview right now!
**[01:27] Inubashiri**
Not! I'm actually going to lunch.
**[01:31] Ookoba**
The other girls, huh...?
**[01:38] ---**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[01:40] ---**
A lowest point? Starting over from
zero? That's just part of the saga.
**[01:43] ---**
Even if we burn out in the
process, we'll make it come true!
**[01:45] ---**
This is where our revenge begins!

Peek...
**[03:18] Kotaro**
G'morning!
**[03:20] Sakura/Junko**
Good morning.
**[03:22] Yugiri**
Morning.
**[03:23] Kotaro**
Well, ladies of Franchouchou,
how have you been?
**[03:26] Kotaro**
Looks like you're getting
back in the swing of things.
**[03:29] Ai**
Hardly. We need to aim
higher than ever before.
**[03:33] Kotaro**
Very good. I like that spunk, Ai!
**[03:35] Saki**
Seems like folks outside of Saga
are hearing about us more.
**[03:37] Saki**
I bet we can blast on to
getting our revenge for EFS.
**[03:40] Kotaro**
Yes, exactly, Saki!
**[03:42] Sakura**
Let's keep trying all kinds of new things!
**[03:44] Kotaro**
All right, then! Let's get
down to a strategy meeting...
**[03:47] Kotaro**
except we can't do that,
can we, you airheaded zombies?!
**[03:52] Kotaro**
We've still got almost 20
million yen in debt, dumbass!
**[03:55] Kotaro**
How are we supposed to do any damn
thing without any damn money?!
**[03:58] Kotaro**
This ain't some story where we learn
how to enjoy life despite being broke!
**[04:00] Kotaro**
You were only able to do the
radio show and the opening act gig
**[04:03] Kotaro**
and that audition show because
they don't cost jack!
**[04:05] Kotaro**
Until we get liquid, there's
not gonna be any challenges
**[04:07] Kotaro**
or revenges or anything else,
you ninnyhammers!
**[04:09] Saki**
The debt is your fault in the first place!
**[04:12] Saki**
Quit acting like a kid!
**[04:13] Kotaro**
Okay! So, that being the case, why don't
we all get out there and get that bread?!
**[04:19] Kotaro**
That goes for you, too!
**[04:23] Sakura**
Tae-chan has today off so she can rest!
**[04:26] Kotaro**
Nobody ever earned by sleeping!
**[04:28] Kotaro**
Without money, you won't be able to have
your fun little family dinners anymore!
**[04:33] Junko**
Sakura-san...
**[04:36] Junko**
Please, don't think of
yourself as a ninnyhammer.
**[04:39] Sakura**
O-Okay?
**[04:41] Lily**
Have a good day!
**[04:43] Quartet**
We're heading out!

**[05:44] Ookoba**
I talked a big game, but big stories in Saga?
**[05:48] Ookoba**
Not like I'm in Tokyo anymore...
**[05:57] Ookoba**
That's Number Zero.
**[06:14] Ookoba**
*Franchouchou's Number Zero...*
**[06:17] Ookoba**
*Even in that group, she stands out.*
**[06:20] Ookoba**
*She doesn't sing, for one thing.*
**[06:22] Ookoba**
* And when she dances, she's*
* basically doing her own thing.*
**[06:24] Ookoba**
* She has these strange bursts of*
* activity that are almost childlike.*
**[06:28] Ookoba**
* But none of the other members*
* seem to think that's strange,*
**[06:30] Ookoba**
* and instead of getting upset,*
* they almost seem to love her for it.*
**[06:33] Ookoba**
* Among fans, her devil-may-care,*
* free-wheeling,*
***SIGN*** Number Zero had the strongest presence in the
Drive-In Tori commercial #NumberZero #Franchouchou
***SIGN*** Momentum is Number Zero's whole appeal! Cock-a-doodle-doo!
***SIGN*** I get anxious seeing Franchouchou without their mascot,
Number Zero #NumberZero #Franchouchou
***SIGN*** I'd love to see what Number Zero has to offer outside of Drive-In Tori's rooster.
I bet she could do the siren they play during Koshien.
***SIGN*** She's too wild lol Number Zero FTW lol
***SIGN*** It's amazing how Number Zero always nails it during the big numbers for the dances
**[06:37] Ookoba**
* mysterious behavior has*
* earned a lot of love.*
***SIGN*** Number Zero's
godlike cuteness!!!!
**[06:40] Ookoba**
You can definitely say she's got a certain
something the rest of the group doesn't...
**[06:46] Granny**
Oh, Zero-chan, are you out shopping?
**[06:50] Granny**
I saw Number Six on TV the other day!
**[06:53] Granny**
That little dear is really something.
**[06:57] Granny**
I just bought some fish
croquettes. Have one!
**[07:01] Granny**
Now, don't go eating the bag like last time.
**[07:05] Granny**
Sure, something for Rome-chan, too.
**[07:12] Kid A**
Number Zero, Number Zero! Whatcha up to?
**[07:15] Kid B**
Oh, you're shopping today?
**[07:18] Kid B**
You can have some Irohanihohoho then.
**[07:24] Ookoba**
She fits right in...
**[07:30] Ookoba**
Is this a shortcut?
**[07:45] Ookoba**
*She's eating it?!*
**[07:48] Ookoba**
*So fast!*

Oh, it's you today, Number Zero?
**[08:25] Maria**
I finally saved up enough money for Mama—
**[08:28] Maria**
er, my mom, so I can buy her a scooter
**[08:32] Maria**
to replace the bike that exploded.
**[08:35] Maria**
To be honest, we're going through
a bit of a rebranding with our team.
**[08:39] Maria**
Check this out... now it's
Dance Team Dorami!
***SIGN*** Dance Team Dorami
**[08:45] Maria**

***SIGN*** Thinly-sliced Bacon (Canadian)
**[08:47] Maria**
As for why we went with dance,
**[08:50] Maria**
after seeing Number Two at
Franchouchou's performances,
**[08:53] Maria**
I figure there's more than
one way to tear it up.
**[08:56] Maria**
So we held a rally with all members
and decided to go into dance.
**[09:01] Maria**
There's also the fact Mama— er,
**[09:02] Maria**
Mom will probably worry less this way.
**[09:06] Maria**
Man, I always end up talking
your ear off for some reason.
**[09:10] Maria**
How much of that did you hear?!
***SIGN*** Instant Foods Curry Spices Sauces
**[09:14] Maria**
Anyway, the idea is that one
day we're gonna get big
**[09:17] Maria**
and be on the same stage as Franchouchou!
**[09:20] Maria**
Count on it!
**[09:23] Ookoba**
*That's a sweet story.*
**[09:27] Ookoba**
*She's chewing on her?!*
**[09:27] Maria**
Aw, I keep telling you that hurts!
**[09:30] Ugawa**
Maria-chan.
**[09:32] Ugawa**
Is she chewing on your buns again?
**[09:34] Sayama**
We're here to pick you up.
**[09:36] Maria**
Oh, it's already time?
**[09:38] Maria**
Oof, that hurts!
**[09:38] Maria**

**[09:42] Maria**

**[11:55] Ookoba**
She's on stage?!
**[11:55] Maria**
Seriously?!
**[11:57] Hostess**
Unfortunately, I'm afraid there is no
last-minute entry for this competition!
**[12:06] Hostess**
And that's our grand champion for you!
**[12:08] Hostess**
He's happy to take on the challenge!
**[12:40] Ookoba**
That's... gotta be so fast it doesn't
look like she's moving... right?
**[12:52] Hostess**
And Cocco-kun is down!

Seriously, it seemed almost impossible!
**[13:20] Sayama**
What a flex!
**[13:21] Maria**
You even got the prize money, too!
**[13:23] Maria**
I bet Number Two and the rest of the
group will be thrilled to hear about it!
**[13:28] Maria**
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?!
You've gotta take it!
**[13:34] Maria**
I can't take it!
**[13:37] Maria**
Just give me those onions instead.
**[13:39] Maria**
Why?!
**[13:40] Dirty Harry**
What's all this? Is it a stickup?
**[13:42] Dirty Harry**
Are we looking at some iddy-biddy
baby muggers out here today?
**[13:46] Maria**
I was just trying to give
her this money back,
**[13:49] Maria**
but she's acting like she doesn't
want it, or doesn't care...
**[13:52] Dirty Harry**
You mean to tell me you don't
know what to do with some cash?
**[13:55] Maria**
Y-Yeah, I guess...
**[13:57] Dirty Harry**
Leave it to me!
**[13:58] Dirty Harry**
It will be this officer's pleasure to
show you how to put it to good use!
***SIGN*** Karatsu

**[14:31] Dirty Harry**
Y-You girls better get along,
or I'll bring you in!
**[14:35] Korosuke A**
We're not gonna do anything.
We can't make trouble right now.
**[14:39] Maria**
Sounding kinda weak there.
**[14:41] Korosuke B**
Hey, dumbass! It's because
Misa-san is racing today!
**[14:44] Maria**
Misa...
**[14:45] Korosuke A**
Yeah, since you guys stopped being
bikers, you might not have heard...
**[14:50] Korosuke A**
But after that game of chicken,
**[14:53] Korosuke A**
Misa-san has been chasing after the kind of
ultimate speed that Number Two showed off
**[14:57] Korosuke A**
by getting into boat racing.
**[15:03] Maria**
I guess she found a new
way to tear it up, too...
**[15:06] Korosuke B**
But she hasn't won even once...
**[15:10] Korosuke B**
Misa the Fallen Angel!
**[15:12] Korosuke B**
She always ends up accelerating
at the wrong time and wiping out...
**[15:16] Korosuke B**
The people who were calling her
the runaway princess at first
**[15:19] Korosuke B**
make jokes now about betting
on her being a bust!
**[15:23] Korosuke B**
They're even calling her Misa the Warthog!
**[15:26] Competitors**
Here's hoping you can make
a turn for a change.
**[15:36] Maria**
That's just sad...
**[15:38] Korosuke B**
You wanna die?!
**[15:40] Maria**
If she screws up like that in front of me,
I'll kill her myself.
**[15:45] Dirty Harry**
All right, let's move along.
We've got another race to bet on.
**[15:51] Dirty Harry**
Here.

*Where are you right now?*

Uh, well, I'm, uh, upholding
my duty... as Saga PD...
**[16:14] Chief**
*Is it the horse track?*
**[16:15] Dirty Harry**
It's... not the horse track, no.
**[16:19] Dirty Harry**
Over.
**[16:23] Ookoba**
*She's sucking on it!*
**[16:29] Ookoba**
I must be exhausted...

I swear to you... I'm not
at the horse track, over.

Number Zero!
**[17:05] Sayama**
We're over here!
**[17:13] Maria**
Misa's race is coming up...
**[17:15] Veteran A**
Now then, I wonder how that
gal's gonna do today?
**[17:19] Veteran B**
I do like the way she races, but...
**[17:27] Misa**
Maria?!
**[17:47] Korosukes**
You've got this, Misa-san!
**[17:50] Veterans**
There you go! That's it! Nice racing!
**[18:12] Misa**
*Watch this, Maria...*
**[18:14] Misa**
*And watch close!*
**[18:22] Misa**
*Number Two...*
**[18:28] Misa**
*Check this out!*
**[18:32] Kroosukes**
She did it!
**[18:33] Dorami**
Too sweet!
**[18:35] Veteran A**
That was the eel goby turn!
**[18:38] Veteran A**
She pulled off the legendary technique...
**[18:41] Veteran**
That was it... It truly was the eel goby!
**[18:44] Veteran**
The eel goby has returned to Karatsu!
**[19:00] Ookoba**
That was a hell of a race.
I couldn't resist watching it.
**[19:04] Dirty Harry**
This might not be the horse track,
but that was an awesome race!
**[19:08] Dirty Harry**
Should've bet on it...
**[19:18] Maria**
What bet did you make, Number Zero?
**[19:26] Dorami**
Huh?
**[19:35] Maria**
Seriously...?
**[19:52] Ookoba**
I ended up following her all day...
**[19:55] Ookoba**
and now I only have more questions,
with no answers to show for it.
**[20:00] Ookoba**
I'm done.
**[20:03] Sakura**
Tae-cha—
**[20:05] Saki**
Hey, Maria!
**[20:06] Sakura**
You were late, so we were
worried! What happened?
**[20:17] Yuugiri**
Nicely done, Tae-han.
**[20:20] Maria**
It's good to see you again, Number Two!
**[20:22] Saki**
Yeah! What brings you by?
**[20:25] Maria**
Well, I ran into Number
Zero at the supermarket,
**[20:27] Maria**
and man, a whole hell of a lot happened!
**[20:30] Maria**
Check this out...
**[20:34] Maria**
She won big at the boat
races! That's 20 million.
**[20:39] Lily**
Did Number Zero seriously win all this?!
**[20:42] Saki**
20 million... How much is that?!
**[20:44] Saki**
Hey, shrimpy, how much is
20 million, seriously?!
**[20:44] Sakura**
Wh-Wh-What do we do, what do we do?!
**[20:47] Junko**
If Number Zero really did win all this...
**[20:50] Ai**
Can't we pay back our debt?
**[20:52] Sakura**
Ta-Ta-Ta— er, N-Number Zero,
let's tell Kotaro-san!
**[21:04] Maria**
Number Two...
**[21:14] Kotaro**
Let's gracefully accept.
**[21:15] FCC**
All right!
**[21:17] Yuugiri**
That turned out to be quite the errand run.
**[21:20] Saki**
Damn, Tae's way more useful than Shades!
**[21:23] ---**
You're amazing, Tae-chan!
**[21:25] Sakura**
Thank you so much, Tae-chan!
**[23:04] (Flashback) Ookoba**
I'm done.
**[23:07] (Flashback) Sakura**
You were late, so we were
worried! What happened?
**[23:11] (Flashback) Sakura**
Ta-Ta-Ta— er, N-Number Zero,
let's tell Kotaro-san!
**[23:20] (Flashback) Inubashiri**
Only other explanation is that they
were revived, like a bunch of zombies.

**[01:39] Kotaro**
So... we have a new member today...
**[01:45] Kotaro**
This is Franchouchou's Number
Seven... Please clap.
**[01:48] Kotaro**
Applause, people!
**[01:50] Sakura**
Um, I'm not sure what
you're trying to say...
**[01:52] Kotaro**
You sure you're not sure?
Seems kinda obvious!
**[01:54] Sakura**
You only went to the bathhouse
because the plumbing's busted, right?
**[01:57] Junko**
Is that mummy-looking thing... a person?
**[01:59] Kotaro**
You ever hear about an idol group
with non-human members before?!
**[02:02] Ai**
You're saying she's dead?!
**[02:03] Kotaro**
Wow, you're worried about that?!
You're gonna let that bother you?
**[02:06] Saki**
Damn right we are!
**[02:08] Kotaro**
Not to worry, ladies!
**[02:10] Kotaro**
I've got the wheels on the zombie
machine turning already!
**[02:13] Saki**
Holy crap, she's really dead?
**[02:14] Sakura**
Where did you find her?!
**[02:16] Kotaro**
What? What, what, what?
**[02:19] Kotaro**
Come on, now. I didn't "find her."
I was... guided to her.
**[02:24] Ai**
By who, exactly?
**[02:24] Kotaro**
How the hell do I know?!
**[02:26] Kotaro**
You know all these shrines and
temples and stuff around Saga?!
**[02:29] Kotaro**
They got gods crammed all up in them!
**[02:30] Saki**
Shades, what the hell...?
**[02:32] Kotaro**
It wasn't me...
**[02:35] Kotaro**
I didn't do it!
**[02:36] Lily**
You're seriously losing it.
**[02:37] Sakura**
Then how did she—
**[02:39] Kotaro**
I said I didn't do it, damn it!
**[03:04] Sakura**
It's moving! It's moving!
**[03:05] Ai**
Dummy! Corpses don't move
around on their own!
**[03:08] Sakura**
Just look at her!
**[03:09] Junko**
You don't move around anymore after you die!
**[03:20] Sakura**
Um... So, you're dead, right?
**[03:24] Maimai**
Wait, did I die?
**[03:36] Ai**
Why exactly didn't you double check?
**[03:39] Junko**
You realize dragging a living high school
student here is ordinary kidnapping, right?
**[03:43] Sakura**
She... figured out we're zombies, right?
**[03:46] Saki**
Looks like it. She's staring holes in you.
**[03:52] Sakura**
Well, as long as she doesn't
realize we're Franchou—
**[03:55] Maimai**
Excuse me, you're Franchouchou's
Number One, right?
**[03:58] Ai**
I knew it! I thought I'd seen
her somewhere before!
**[04:02] Ai**
She goes to our shows!
**[04:09] Sakura**
The girl in the glasses who
always comes to see us!
**[04:13] Maimai**
I knew it! I'm a huge fan
of yours, Number One!
**[04:17] Maimai**
I had no idea Franchouchou were zombies!
**[04:19] Lily**
Well, there it is.
**[04:21] Junko**
Moments like this can really come
out of the blue, can't they?
**[04:25] Ai**
What now?
**[04:27] Yuugiri**
The way I see it...
**[04:29] Yuugiri**
She'll have to die.
**[04:33] Yuugiri**
But that's probably not the best idea.
**[04:37] Maimai**
Oh, it's okay!
**[04:39] Maimai**
I mean, you're looking
a little sickly and banged up,
**[04:41] Maimai**
but I normally can't tell
you're zombies at all!
**[04:45] Maimai**
On stage, you're all so cute and pretty!
**[04:48] Maimai**
Is that makeup?!
**[04:49] Saki**
She's taking this pretty lightly, huh?
**[04:52] Sakura**
Maybe zombies don't come
as that big of a surprise?
**[04:55] Ai**
Sakura, you were shot!
**[04:56] Sakura**
A few times, yeah...
**[04:57] Kotaro**
Uh, well, regarding the
matter of the zombieness...
**[05:01] Kotaro**
if you could just...
**[05:04] Kotaro**
Please don't tell anyone! I'm begging you!
**[05:07] Kotaro**
Come on, you guys are in this, too!
**[05:13] Mamai**
Diiing!
**[05:15] Mamai**
Hey, so, in that case,
can I join Franchouchou?
**[05:22] Mamai**
That way I can help keep
your secret safe, too!
**[05:26] Lily**
What do you mean?
**[05:27] Yugiri**
What a bold girl.
**[05:29] Maimai**
Please!
**[05:45] Sakura**
Really?!
**[05:46] Ai**
You didn't even think
for a second, did you?!
**[05:49] Saki**
Don't just give up, man!
**[05:53] Maimai**
Yay! Thank you so much!
I'll do my very best, I promise!
**[05:57] Maimai**
My name is Maimai Yuzuriha!
Yes, that really is my name!
**[06:00] Maimai**
You can call me Maimai!
**[06:02] Sakura**
Maimai-chan...
**[06:04] Lily**
That's so cute! Her name can mean snail!
**[06:06] Maimai**
Well, I've got a curfew!
**[06:08] Maimai**
I'll be back tomorrow! Goodbye!
**[06:12] Junko**
So she's going to be... commuting?
**[06:15] Saki**
Is that even an option?
**[06:21] Saki**
Maimai-shi! Let's grab some frozen tapioca!
**[06:25] Mamai**
Sorry! I have to taken a frozen raincheck!
**[06:27] Mamai**
Huh? I didn't think there was any school
festival stuff happening today.
**[06:31] Maiamai**
It's something else! Something very else!
**[06:33] Maiamai**
If Maimai is bailing on frozen tapioca...
**[06:36] Maiamai**
Is it some kind of romance thing?!
**[06:38] Maiamai**
Details, please!
**[06:39] Maimai**
I mean, I definitely like them a lot, yes!
**[06:41] Maimai**
And if you like 'em, join 'em!
**[06:43] Maimai**
Good morning! Maimai's here!
**[06:47] Ai**
Are you serious about being an idol?
**[06:50] Maimai**
I am!
**[06:51] Ai**
And you don't expect special treatment
because you have dirt on us?
**[06:55] Maimai**
I don't!
**[07:00] Ai**
Okay.
**[07:02] Ai**
Do you have any dance experience, Maimai?
**[07:05] Maimai**
Not at all! I'm starting at zero!
**[07:08] Maimai**
But I do know all your songs and dance
moves from your shows and CDs!
**[07:11] Sakura**
Really?!
**[07:12] Sakura**
That's amazing, Maimai-chan!
**[07:17] Ai**
Five... four... Three, two, one.
**[07:20] Ai**
One, two, three, four...
**[07:24] Ai**
Five, six, seven, eight!
**[07:28] Ai**
How'd that even happen?
**[07:30] Maimai**
I can see it in my head, but my
body has trouble keeping up!
**[07:33] Saki**
Sakura, Sakura! This might
just be funny as hell!
**[07:36] Sakura**
I wonder if Maimai-chan's gonna be okay...
**[07:40] Ai**
Let's try again.
**[07:42] Maimai**
Yeowch!
**[07:43] Maimai**
Owowow...
**[07:45] Ai**
One more time.
**[07:46] Maimai**
Yeow!
**[07:46] Ai**
And again.
**[07:47] Maimai**
Oofta...
**[07:48] Ai**
Again.
**[07:48] Mamai**
Hargble!
**[07:50] Ai**
Let's call it a day for now.
**[07:52] Maimai**
I want to keep going!
**[07:53] Maimai**
I want to be a real member of
Franchouchou as soon as possible!
**[08:02] Ai**
Make sure to go over what
we did today, okay?
**[08:04] Maimai**
Okay! I'll come by tomorrow!
**[08:08] Saki**
Dude... Dude, is that...?
**[08:11] Saki**
It's got color! Holy crap,
Sakura, it's in color!
**[08:15] Sakura**
That is neat!
**[08:17] Saki**
Is... Is Oyajitchi still in it?
**[08:18] Maimai**
He sure is! This is the
20th anniversary model.
**[08:22] Saki**
Oh, hell, the old dude's still
there?! I oughta kill him!
**[08:28] Sakura**
You were really working hard today.
**[08:30] Maimai**
I've still got lots to learn, though.
**[08:31] Sakura**
Ai-chan mentioned she's impressed
with how hard you tried.
**[08:34] Maimai**
I just want everyone to accept me soon.
**[08:37] Sakura**
How long have you been a fan
of Franchouchou, Maimai-chan?
**[08:41] Maimai**
Well, I had given up hope for Saga.
**[08:45] Maimai**
I mean, don't you think it
has a lot of potential?
**[08:49] Maimai**
But nobody knows about it.
**[08:51] Maimai**
I think it has to be some
kind of Saga thing.
**[08:53] Maimai**
I mean, if Saga was Fukuoka,
**[08:56] Maimai**
its image would be having a lot of
people and being really active,
**[08:58] Maimai**
and everyone would be more interested!
**[09:01] Sakura**
That's... not Saga anymore, though.
**[09:03] Maimai**
But then, one day, I was reading *Sagazine*...
***SIGN*** Angels Descend
on Saga Rock!
**[09:07] Maimai**
And I was all, "Idols, in Saga?! No way!"
**[09:11] Maimai**
Then I heard about you doing
a show at the end of the year...
**[09:38] Sakura**
M-Me?
**[09:40] Maimai**
It was really amazing!
**[09:42] Sakura**
Oh, wow...
**[09:44] Maimai**
I don't know how to put it into words...
**[09:45] Maimai**
but I was amazed someone could sing with
an expression like that. Shine like that!
**[09:50] Maimai**
And so, I started thinking more and
more about how I wanted to be like you
**[09:53] Maimai**
and live in Saga the same way that you do!
**[10:01] Sakura**
Just like me...
**[10:03] Maimai**
But the EFS show was a real mess.
**[10:06] Maimai**
The atmosphere got to us in the crowd, too...
**[10:10] Maimai**
I've never wished my voice was
louder than I did on that day.
**[10:17] Maimai**
But, after seeing you at Saga Arena,
**[10:20] Maimai**
it made me realize how
amazing Franchouchou is.
**[10:24] Maimai**
It doesn't matter that you're zombies!
You're the same as living folks!
**[10:28] Maimai**
So I don't think you all need to worry
so much about the makeup and stuff!
**[10:32] Maimai**
Being able to perform the way
you do is way more incredible!
**[10:36] Maimai**
I might not be able to contribute much yet,
**[10:39] Maimai**
but I'm willing to do whatever
I can as a fellow member!
**[10:46] Sakura**
Let's work hard together!
**[10:48] Maimai**
Yeah!
**[10:49] Class Prez**
Isn't this kinda bad?!
***SIGN*** Saganan Carnival Organization Committee

**[10:58] Class Prez**
Look at how terrible these ideas are!
**[11:01] Class Prez**
We oughta be able to manage
at least one decent one!
**[11:03] Maimai**
Diiing!
**[11:06] FCC**
A performance at a school festival?!
**[11:09] Maimai**
If we get popular with high school students,
**[11:11] Maimai**
it'll spread from there and make
Franchouchou better known!
**[11:15] Maimai**
Ei-yah! Whoosh, whoosh! Ei-yah! Whoosh, whoosh!
**[11:19] Maimai**
Ei-yah! Whoosh, whoosh! Ei-yah! Whoosh, whoosh!
**[11:21] Saki**
High school, huh...
**[11:23] Lily**
That sounds fun!
**[11:24] Yugiri**
I'm interested, as well.
**[11:27] Sakura**
Kotaro-san?
**[11:31] Saki**
You need to cut that crap out.
You wanna die?
**[11:34] Kotaro**
You usually tend to pull in a real
freak show in terms of audience...
**[11:38] Kotaro**
This'll be a good chance for us to
take direct aim at the demographic
**[11:40] Kotaro**
that's gonna shape Saga's future.
**[11:42] Ai**
What about Maimai?
**[11:43] Junko**
She still hasn't been able to run through
a routine without falling...
**[11:46] Kotaro**
You need to be ready for showtime,
because you're going to be the star.
**[11:50] Kotaro**
This show, Franchouchou is going
to be reborn as an Eight Wise Idols group,
**[11:54] Kotaro**
and Number Seven makes her debut.
**[11:57] Sakura**
Do you think you can do it, Maimai-chan?
**[11:59] Maimai**
A-As long as my body doesn't betray me!
**[12:02] Saki**
In that case, all you've gotta
do is practice your butt off!
**[12:06] Saki**
Time to get psyched up, Maimai!
**[12:07] Maimai**
Right! Come on, brain and body! Get in sync!
**[12:11] Saki**
Time for the new Franchouchou
to strut our stuff!
**[12:14] FCC**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Piping hot!!
***SIGN*** Don't walk while staring at your phone
**[12:37] Ai**
All right, looking good.
**[12:39] Sakura**
Maimai-chan!
**[12:40] Yugiri**
You managed to stay upright this time.
**[12:43] Junkio**
And with two days to spare before showtime.
**[12:46] Maimai**
Th-Thank you so much!
**[12:49] Maimai**
Um, why don't we all head to the bathhouse
to get to know each other a little better?
**[12:55] Maimai**
I love visiting them! I've got
a few spots in mind that—
**[12:57] Lily**
Sorry, Maimai-chan, but that's
one thing that's a no-go.
**[13:01] Junko**
I do like baths, but...
**[13:04] Sakura**
Y'know, they make it hard to keep secrets!
**[13:06] Maimai**
Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot all
about the zombie thing!
**[13:09] Lily**
Hey, I'd love to go around
your school instead!
**[13:13] Saki**
You wanna take the place over, huh, shrimpy?
**[13:15] Lily**
Not even!
**[13:17] Ai**
I don't have too many memories
of high school, to be honest.
**[13:20] Junko**
Neither do I.
**[13:21] Yugiri**
I'd love to see how young people
today go about their lives.
**[13:25] Maimai**
Got it! I'll get permission from my teacher!
**[13:28] Lily**
Yay!
**[13:30] Lily**
The festival's tomorrow! Get a move on!
***SIGN*** Principal's Office
**[13:35] Girl**
That was seriously so ugh...
**[13:38] Sakura**
Sorry... they all ran off
as soon as we got here.
**[13:41] Maimai**
It's fine! Everyone's really excited
about the cultural festival tomorrow...
**[13:45] Maimai**
I think they'll have fun
no matter where they go.
**[13:47] Sakura**
The prep is half the fun,
after all. It takes me back!
**[13:51] Maimai**
What were you like in
high school, Sakura-san?
**[13:55] Sakura**
I was kind of dead on the inside.
**[13:58] Sakura**
Some stuff had happened, and it felt
like nothing I did was gonna work out...
**[14:01] Sakura**
So I had trouble taking anything seriously.
**[14:05] Maimai**
You were really negative, then?
**[14:07] Sakura**
Yeah...
**[14:08] Sakura**
But after seeing Iron Frill... and Ai-chan...
**[14:11] Sakura**
I decided to try again
and keep moving forward!
**[14:16] Sakura**
I was so happy when I found out they
were having auditions for new members.
**[14:20] Sakura**
Around this time, I would be practicing
in a corner of the classroom...
**[14:25] Sakura**
I died before I could apply, though.
**[14:29] Sakura**
But now that I'm a zombie,
I can try new things again.
**[14:34] Sakura**
After meeting the others, I think I can
take on any kind of challenge now.
**[14:38] Sakura**
Even getting revenge at EFS.
**[14:42] Maimai**
Wait, EFS? You're going to
do another show there?!
**[14:45] Sakura**
Did no one mention that?
**[14:46] Mamai**
Not at all, no!
**[14:48] Mamai**
I mean, that show was such a disaster!
**[14:50] Mamai**
Why wander back into hell like that?
**[14:54] Sakura**
That's just how Franchouchou is.
**[14:57] Sakura**
EFS was a huge mistake, yeah...
**[15:01] Sakura**
We got into debt and we couldn't
even do idol stuff for a while.
**[15:05] Sakura**
But none of us gave up.
**[15:08] Sakura**
We're scared of messing up again,
**[15:10] Sakura**
but I know if we're together,
we can get through it!
**[15:13] Sakura**
What we're all way more scared of...
**[15:16] Sakura**
is giving up and becoming
regular old walking dead.
**[15:21] Sakura**
Over and over, we keep standing up...
**[15:24] Sakura**
I think, for us, living means chasing
our dreams even though we're dead.
**[15:31] Sakura**
Oh, sorry! I think I got kinda...
Oh, what am I even saying?
**[15:38] Sakura**
Maimai-chan?
**[15:39] Maimai**
That's who Franchouchou is...
**[15:41] Sakura**
Yeah! And having you aboard
is gonna be a big help!
**[15:46] Sakura**
Let's make sure the show
tomorrow goes great!
**[15:51] Maimai**
*That's who Franchouchou's Number One is!*
**[15:54] Sakura**
Maimai-chan, you okay?
**[15:57] Sakura**
Huh? Um, maybe she didn't hear me?
**[16:00] Sakura**

**[19:08] Maimai**
I want to thank you all for coming to see
our special show here at Saganan Carnival!
**[19:17] Maimai**
I also have something very
important to announce.
**[19:24] Maimai**
I, Franchouchou's Number Seven...
**[19:28] Maimai**
will be graduating from
Franchouchou after this show!
**[19:37] Maimai**
Please enjoy my last song as Franchouchou's
Number Seven... "Into The Light."
**[19:57] [SONG] Maimai**
And now I leave for a distant journey
**[20:09] [SONG] Maimai**
When I close my eyelids,
the memories start to flow forth
**[20:20] (Flashback) Maimai**
I've been thinking it over ever since
I talked to Sakura-san yesterday
**[20:23] (Flashback) Maimai**
and came to a decision.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Maimai**
I thought I was the same as
you all, but that's not true.
**[20:31] (Flashback) Maimai**
It's not about you looking
pale or anything...
**[20:34] (Flashback) Maimai**
I think that you all lived
out your short lives
**[20:36] (Flashback) Maimai**
as best you could when you were alive.
**[20:39] (Flashback) Maimai**
The reason you shine is
because, even after dying,
**[20:43] (Flashback) Maimai**
you keep rising up, intent on
living life to the fullest.
**[20:48] (Flashback) Maimai**
I think if I want to shine like you all,
**[20:51] (Flashback) Maimai**
I need to live out my life
here in Saga, first.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Maimai**
That's why I'm going to
graduate from Franchouchou,
**[20:57] (Flashback) Maimai**
and live my life in the
Reiwa era as best I can!
**[21:02] (Flashback) Maimai**
That concludes the statement
from Maimai Yuzuriha!
**[21:05] (Flashback) Maimai**
Ei-yah! Maimai!
**[21:09] [SONG] Maimai**
Goodbye until we meet
again, my warm memories
**[21:30] Ai**
I think you're really amazing.
In a couple of ways.
**[21:33] Junko**
You came and went like a storm.
**[21:35] Lily**
Even though your name's pretty slow-going!
**[21:37] Yugiri**
Never forget the boldness that got you here.
**[21:40] Maimai**
It has been such an honor!
**[21:43] Saki**
If you ever end up dead
for reals, look us up.
**[21:45] Maimai**
'Kay!
**[21:46] Maimai**
Oh, this is for you, Saki-san.
**[21:50] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:51] Saki**
Seriously?! But isn't this
thing super awesome?!
**[21:53] Maimai**
I'd love for you to have it!
**[21:56] Saki**
For real? Thank you! I swear,
I'll take great care of it!
**[22:00] Sakura**
It wasn't for long,
**[22:02] Sakura**
but it was a lot of fun having you
in Franchouchou, Maimai-chan!
**[22:07] Maimai**
I feel the same way!
**[22:11] Kotaro**
I'm sorry.
**[22:13] Maimai**
It's okay. It was because I got
mixed up in the first place.
**[22:17] Maimai**
And thanks to that, I got to have
an experience I'll never forget.
**[22:21] Kotaro**
I see.
**[22:22] Maimai**
I'll be sure to keep Franchouchou's secret!
**[22:25] Maimai**
I'd hate to lose my role models, after all!
**[22:32] Kotaro**
Thank you.
**[22:37] FCC**
Thanks again!
**[22:37] FCC**
Goodbye!
**[22:38] FCC**
See you around!

**[00:05] Yugiri**
I'm going to... Saga?
**[00:08] Oyaji**
Right. It's where Master Hibiya was born.
**[00:11] Oyaji**
His wife passed away a long while ago,
**[00:15] Oyaji**
so it should be a peaceful arrangement.
**[00:17] Okami**
It's a bit of a relief.
**[00:19] Okami**
Up against someone like him, even the
bigwigs couldn't make much of a fuss.
**[00:22] Okami**
He's got the wisdom of
age on his side, and...
**[00:25] Okami**
Well, I'm sure you know
better than I can explain.
**[00:31] Yugiri**
Proprietor, Madam, you have my thanks.
**[00:34] Yugiri**
I really appreciate all you've done for me.
**[00:36] Oyaji**
I've never seen a courtesan
like you before, Yugiri.
**[00:40] Okami**
I hope I never do again!
**[00:42] Okami**
Getting so popular that she
couldn't get customers...
**[00:45] Okami**
How legendary does one girl need to be?
**[00:47] Yugiri**
I'm terribly sorry about that.
**[00:50] Okami**
I hope you have a good life out there.
**[00:52] Okami**
But knowing you, I shouldn't need to worry.
**[01:03] Yugiri**
Oh...
**[01:04] Okami**
Oh, come now, what are you girls doing?
**[01:07] Girls**
Miss Yugiri! Is it true
you're you're leaving?
**[01:10] Girls**
We're not gonna see you again?
**[01:12] Girls**
Where is Saga? Far away?
**[01:14] Girls**
I don't like this!
**[01:14] Girls**
I wanted you to teach me more
about singing and dancing!
**[01:19] Oyaji**
There, there, the legendary courtesan is
going to be setting off to start a new life.
**[01:24] Oyaji**
That's nothing to cry about.
**[01:26] Yugiri**
Come on. See me off with a smile, all right?
**[01:32] Yugiri**
It doesn't matter how far Saga is.
**[01:34] Yugiri**
You're all still going to be in my heart.
**[01:38] Oyaji**
Well, technically, Saga doesn't
really exist anymore.
**[01:46] ---**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[01:48] ---**
A lowest point? Starting over from
zero? That's just part of the saga.
**[01:51] ---**
Even if we burn out in the
process, we'll make it come true!

This is where our revenge begins!

**[07:01] Itou**
As long as you're making a fuss on your own,
**[07:03] Itou**
you're not going to accomplish anything.
**[07:05] Itou**
The imperial court is still wary of Saga.
**[07:10] Itou**
No one wants a repeat of the Saga War.
**[07:13] Kiichi**
I'm not trying to start a war!
**[07:16] Itou**
That's not what it looks

**[07:18] Itou**
Besides, even if Saga gets its name back,

what comes after that?
**[07:23] Kiichi**
I...
**[07:25] Itou**
Okay, enough of this talk.

Th-Th-That s-s-s-sort of thing isn't really my...

If you've got any confidence

Thank you kindly.
**[09:11] Yugiri**
I just bought it.

Outta the way! Move it, move it, move it!

***SIGN*** We must take Saga back. Saga is our homeland. Saga is where we were all born. The land where we live, it is called Saga. We are not from Mizuma or Nagasaki. The time has come for us to bring Saga back. That is why we will rise up for our Saga.
**[09:54] Kiichi**
Hey, this is mine...
**[09:58] Yugiri**
Oh, I didn't realize.
**[10:00] Yugiri**
I apologize for treating
it like tissue paper.
**[10:07] Yugiri**
You should head on home

What're you doing, Kiichi?
**[10:21] Kiichi**
A celestial maiden...
**[10:25] Itou**
I think I know who you mean.
**[10:27] Itou**
The legendary courtesan who moved
to Saga around the end of last year.
**[10:32] Kiichi**
L-Legendary?
**[10:33] Itou**
Come on, man, if you want to get Saga back,
**[10:36] Itou**
you should probably pay more
attention to the gossip.
**[10:39] Itou**
The legendary courtesan, Yugiri.
**[10:42] Itou**
She was a miracle performer unlike
anything ever seen in Edo,
**[10:44] Itou**
idolized by men and women alike.
**[10:48] Itou**
People would bid to be entertained by her so
competitively that the price got sky-high...
**[10:52] Itou**
to the point where no one
came calling anymore.
**[10:56] Itou**
The heads of the restoration
even got into fights over her,
**[10:58] Itou**
and there are rumors the Meiji court
almost fell apart because of it...
**[11:02] Kiichi**
And a person like that... is in Saga?
**[11:05] Itou**
Don't go falling for her, now.
**[11:06] Kiichi**
Wh-Why would I?!
**[11:09] Itou**
She's not the kind of woman
a guy like you could handle.
**[11:12] Itou**
She's from a different world.
**[11:17] Kiichi**
A different world...?

**[11:55] Yugiri**
Oh, I remember you.
**[12:05] Yugiri**
I'm sorry you went to the trouble.
**[12:08] Kiichi**
Aw, no, it's nothing fancy... but...
**[12:12] Yugiri**
Thank you very much for the gift.
**[12:14] Yugiri**
But you should run along, now.
**[12:18] Yugiri**
For your own sake.
**[12:25] Kiichi**
I... I don't care.
**[12:29] Kiichi**
Th-This stuff about you from being
a different world and like...
**[12:34] Kiichi**
All that complicated stuff!
For our Saga, it's...
**[12:37] Kiichi**
In Saga, it's...
**[12:39] Kiichi**
In Saga... it's...
**[13:07] Yugiri**
Pardon me! Does Kiichi Momozaki-han live here?
**[13:18] Xu Fu**
It's Saga!
**[13:21] Xu Fu**
I am Saga! No... Saga is me!
**[13:31] Yugiri**
Sir? Are you all right, there?
**[13:33] Kiichi**
Gramps, did you run off on...?
**[13:40] Yugiri**
It's a herbal medicine that helps with colds and
other illnesses while being very nourishing.
**[13:45] Yugiri**
I had an old acquaintance send it.
**[13:48] Kiichi**
I-I appreciate you going
to all the trouble...
**[13:50] Yugiri**
I felt guilty about you braving that blazing
sun just to show me your gratitude.
**[13:56] Kiichi**
Aw, I only did it because I wanted to...
**[14:01] Yugiri**
It was nice. You were the first
person to come calling on me,
**[14:04] Yugiri**
other than my dance students,
since I came to Saga.
**[14:10] Kiichi**
Sorry about my grandpa back there...
**[14:13] Kiichi**
He's a little... Well...
**[14:16] Yugiri**
He seems like an interesting fellow.
**[14:19] Kiichi**
I think Saga losing its name really
made him worse these last few years...
**[14:26] Kiichi**
He started ranting about how
if he had his old powers,
**[14:30] Kiichi**
he'd be able to raise the dead easily...
**[14:34] Kiichi**
About eight years ago,
there was a big battle here in Saga
**[14:38] Kiichi**
and my father was killed.
**[14:42] Kiichi**
I had nowhere to go and was cowering
in the wilderness by myself...
**[14:48] Kiichi**
If Gramps hadn't found me,
I dunno what would've happened.
**[14:52] Kiichi**
I owe him more than I can ever repay...
**[14:56] Kiichi**
But all he says he wants in
return is for me to save Saga.
**[15:03] Kiichi**
I didn't know what he meant at first...
**[15:05] Kiichi**
But when Saga lost its name,
**[15:09] Kiichi**
it felt like everything my father
tried to protect was going away...
**[15:13] Kiichi**
Like Saga was going to vanish
from inside people's hearts.
***SIGN*** We must take Saga back. Saga is our homeland. Saga is where we were all born. The land where we live, it is called Saga. We are not from Mizuma or Nagasaki. The time has come for us to bring Saga back. That is why we will rise up for our Saga.
**[15:16] Kiichi**
And I didn't want that to happen.
**[15:19] Kiichi**
I think it's fate that Gramps
managed to find me...
**[15:23] Kiichi**
So that I could find my way of life.
**[15:29] (Flashback) Hibiya**
Yugiri, this is where you're
going to live from now on.
**[15:37] Kiichi**
I think I can finally picture it.
**[15:41] Kiichi**
What I really want to do...
**[15:44] Kiichi**
is create a new Saga.
**[15:47] Kiichi**
One where men and women, former samurai
and peasants, merchants and craftsmen...
**[15:51] Kiichi**
A place where everyone can
choose their own path!
**[15:55] Kiichi**
And live happy lives where
they're true to themselves!
**[15:58] Yugiri**
That's a beautiful dream.
**[16:06] Kiichi**
Please! Please, take one!
**[16:09] Itou**
You wanna be arrested?!
**[16:11] Itou**
You want me to arrest you?
**[16:14] Kiichi**
Don't scare me like that!
**[16:16] ---**
You never give up, do you?
***SIGN*** The time has come to bring back Saga!
***SIGN*** It has been six years since these lands were made into Mizuma, and part of Nagasaki, as a result of the war in the year of Meiji 9. But is it truly right for us to claim our home is Nagasaki? Can we honestly abide our homeland being stripped of its name? What will have become of it, if not? We were all born and raised in the land of Saga. There is no reason that name should fade away over the course of six years. The time has come to appeal to the Imperial Court for the return of Saga. Let us all stand together, and restore the name of our homeland.
**[16:22] Kiichi**
She, uh... helped me clean it up a bit.
**[16:25] Kiichi**
And helped with the composition and stuff...
**[16:32] Ye Olde Saki**
There, there.
**[16:33] Ye Olde Saki**
Come on, now.
**[16:53] Itou**
It's just some fish.
**[16:57] Yugiri**
Forgive me. I felt a
rather... fresh presence.
**[17:02] Kiichi**
Sorry!
**[17:04] Kiichi**
I-I know I'm late...
**[17:07] Kiichi**
Itou? You're early.
**[17:10] Itou**
I wanted to meet the legendary
courtesan as soon as possible.
**[17:14] Itou**
Here, the big one I caught you.
**[17:16] Itou**
You actually caught that
thing in the Fukushoe River?
**[17:39] Itou**
This is great.
**[17:41] Itou**
I guess the legendary courtesan can cook,
on top of everything else.
**[17:44] Yugiri**
The gentleman who arranged for my
freedom taught me all kinds of things.
**[17:49] Yugiri**
Things that would help with
living in the outside world.
**[17:54] Itou**
All kinds of things, huh?
**[17:58] Itou**
Y'know, maybe it's time for you, too.
**[18:01] Kiichi**
What now?
**[18:02] Itou**
You're not actually that stupid.
**[18:04] Itou**
You could become a scholar, or a doctor...
**[18:07] Itou**
If you want to help people, you could do
something that's a bit more realistic,
**[18:11] Itou**
instead of this wild dream
about bringing Saga back.
**[18:22] Itou**
You met this nice lady. Maybe it
was a sign to think things over.
**[18:26] Itou**
Hell, maybe you should think
of starting a family?
**[18:31] Itou**
If you're the head of a household,
you'll feel more responsible, right?
**[18:35] Itou**
I think it'd suit you.
**[18:40] Isshiki**
Wh-Wh-What?! What?! What are you, stupid?!
**[18:45] Isshiki**
Seriously, what are you—
What're you trying to—
**[18:54] Yugiri**
Kiichi-han!
**[18:56] Yugiri**
Hang in there, Kiichi-han.
**[19:01] Itou**
He's helpless, I swear.
**[19:07] Itou**
Ah, that's all right.
**[19:13] Itou**
How about a drink?
**[19:14] Yugiri**
I'm fine, thank you.
**[19:23] Yugiri**
Itou-han, have you known
Kiichi-han for long?
**[19:28] Itou**
It was about two years ago...
**[19:30] Itou**
I heard there was some oddball
passing out some strange writings.
**[19:35] Itou**
I thought I'd go make fun of him...
**[19:37] Itou**
I saw how everyone gave him a wide berth,
without stopping for a second,
**[19:42] Itou**
but he kept at it... He was so desperate.
**[19:46] Itou**
There had to have been other ways...
**[19:49] Itou**
He's a real fool, to be honest.
**[19:55] Itou**
This country's changed.
**[19:57] Itou**
It's going to keep changing, too.
**[20:00] Itou**
What's to be gained by
clinging to an old name?
**[20:04] Yugiri**
I don't think Kiichi-han is
interested in the old name.
**[20:08] Yugiri**
He wants to create a new Saga,
with a fresh start.
**[20:13] Yugiri**
It might be a half-formed, shaky dream...
**[20:16] Yugiri**
but it's one I'd like to see
come true. Kiichi-han's Saga.
**[20:29] Itou**
Sooner or later, that earnest
heart of his is gonna get broken.
**[20:35] Itou**
This country is still too
twisted. Too barbaric.
**[20:41] Itou**
Thanks for the meal. I had a good time.
**[20:55] Kiichi**
Please take one!
**[20:57] Kiichi**
For Saga...
**[21:05] Recruits**
Excuse me, but could you
tell us more about this?
**[21:09] Recruits**
We want to get our Saga back, too!

**[00:06] Rebels**
We need to inspire the people
of Saga to rise up as one!
**[00:10] Rebels**
We'll get rid of the crooks that
have taken control of the country!
**[00:13] Rebels**
And this time we, the samurai of Saga, will—
**[00:16] Kiichi**
Yugiri-san!
**[00:19] Kiichi**
Sorry to trouble you for the medicine...
**[00:23] Yugiri**
How's your grandfather doing?
**[00:25] Kiichi**
No real change.
**[00:27] Kiichi**
He spends most of the day in bed.
**[00:29] Kiichi**
Even though I've finally found
a path to getting Saga back...
**[00:33] Yugiri**
You certainly seem to
have more comrades now.
**[00:36] Kiichi**
Yeah!
**[00:37] Kiichi**
We're putting together
a petition right now...
**[00:41] Kiichi**
S-See? We're gonna ask the prefectural
magistrate to bring Saga back.
**[00:45] Kiichi**
We're even gonna go around talking
to a bunch of the old timers from here...
**[00:50] Yugiri**
That'll certainly be a big step.
**[00:52] Kiichi**
Yeah!
**[00:53] Rebels**
How are we going to accomplish anything
if you're acting like a coward?!
**[00:55] Rebels**
You call yourself a samurai of Saga?!
**[00:57] Rebels**
Step outside right now! It's time
someone beat some sense into you!
**[01:00] Kiichi**
Th-They're just a little worked up,
y'know... I'll go stop them.
**[01:01] Rebels**
That's fine by me! It'll be a good chance
to show you how empty your heads are!
**[01:05] Rebels**
Is that how you talk to your elders?!
**[01:06] Kiichi**
Everyone, what's going on here?
**[01:08] Rebels**
I'm just telling the truth!
***SIGN*** Petition to the Nagasaki County Magistrate
***SIGN*** In Meiji 9, Saga was abolished and integrated into Nagasaki prefecture. There have been a variety of problems including the management of communities of assorted size; supervision of agriculture, manufacture, and trade; and difficulties arising from reclassification of what lands belong in which prefecture. It is our belief that the only viable solution is to reestablish Saga prefecture. We humbly request the reestablishment of Saga prefecture. I humbly ask for your consideration on this issue.

process, we'll make it come true!

Or would you prefer not having your
picture taken for some reason?
**[03:21] Kiichi**
D-Don't tell me...
**[03:24] Kiichi**
You think it's gonna steal
your soul or something?
**[03:26] Itou**
Hell no!
**[03:27] Kiichi**
It's fine, man! Don't worry!
That's just a superstition!
**[03:29] Itou**
I told you, that's not it!
**[03:31] Photographer**
Okay, if you could hold
still for a second, please.
**[03:36] Photographer**
Here we go.
**[03:38] Yugiri**
It'll make for a nice memory, if nothing else.
**[03:40] Kiichi**
Sure will!
**[03:44] Itou**
I know it's a bit early,
but how about some drinks?
**[03:47] Kiichi**
Sorry, I've actually got a...
**[03:49] Rebels**
Momozaki-dono!
**[03:53] Kiichi**
Maybe next time.
**[03:54] Kiichi**
See you, Yugiri-san.
**[04:00] Itou**
The old ruling class of Saga...
**[04:02] Itou**
Survivors of the Saga War, I'd guess.
**[04:06] Itou**
You should watch yourself, too.
**[04:08] Yugiri**
What do you mean?
**[04:20] Rebels**
Those damned merchants have
finally agreed to our demands.
**[04:23] Rebels**
This should be enough to keep
us operational for a while.
**[04:26] Rebels**
What should we do about Momozaki-dono?
Should we let him in on this?
**[04:30] Rebels**
Don't bother.
**[04:31] Rebels**
I'm more worried about
getting the guns in place.
**[04:33] Rebels**
You're sure the cannons Nabeshima
is bringing in from Tsukiji
**[04:35] Rebels**
will be in place to target
the main road to Nagasaki?
**[04:38] Rebels**
Yeah, one of the merchants
gave me his guarantee.
**[04:43] Xu Fu**
I suppose what will be, will be.
**[04:46] Xu Fu**
Kiichi is the one who accepted them
as comrades in his efforts to save Saga.
**[04:52] Xu Fu**
The world of man will always
be shaped by the actions of men...
**[04:55] Xu Fu**
That's karma for you.
**[05:04] Yugiri**
Kiichi-han has been complaining that you
haven't taken any of the medicine I sent you.
**[05:10] Xu Fu**
There's no point. I am Saga.
**[05:12] Xu Fu**
No, Saga is me...
**[05:15] Xu Fu**
If it's going to fade from existence,
there'll be nothing left of me, either.
**[05:20] Yugiri**
And you're convinced
Saga's fate is set in stone,
**[05:24] Yugiri**
in spite of everything
Kiichi-han's been doing?
**[05:26] Xu Fu**
The heavens do favor him.
**[05:28] Xu Fu**
Even now, I can see the star of Saga's
salvation shining over him...
**[05:34] Xu Fu**
But, in the end, it will be the hands of
men who decide matters of life and death.
**[05:39] Xu Fu**
As things stand, I don't have enough
strength to offer any real help...
**[05:44] Yugiri**
Drink this.
**[05:46] Xu Fu**
But... I-I just said...
**[06:05] Yugiri**
Make sure to have some every day,
until the box is empty.
**[06:12] Kiichi**
N-Now hang on a second!
**[06:15] Rebels**
No petition can ever make
up for the anger we feel!
**[06:20] Kiichi**
B-But we aren't trying
to start a war here...
**[06:24] Rebels**
What we need right now,
more than anything else, is action!
**[06:27] Kiichi**
J-Just give me some more time, please...
**[06:30] Kiichi**
I know I can get our Saga—
**[06:33] Rebels**
A boy like you can't understand!
**[06:35] Rebels**
What it felt like for us,
eight years ago, seeing Saga die...
***SIGN*** Let's bring back Saga.
***SIGN*** Let's return Saga to the prefecture it was before Meiji 9. Has living in the current Saga caused you any trouble? Whether it's filing official paperwork, wanting to purchase new land, or open a new business, contacting the prefectural office becomes necessary. And when there is a distance of 20 ri to said office, it becomes a major difficulty. When Saga was abolished, it meant the name of our homeland was lost. Is there any need to accept these inconveniences on top of that? We have endured to this day, since the fighting of Meiji 7. We have made personal sacrifices as a result of the outcome of that war. There is no need to endure any longer. The restoration of Saga will improve all our lives. The time has come to re-assess our current condition; to think about Saga prefecture, our homeland, and our future. We will take action to improve our lives.
**[06:49] Itou**
Isn't enough enough?
**[06:53] Itou**
You did what you could,
**[06:55] Itou**
but there's nothing but
destruction ahead, now.
**[07:01] Itou**
The survivors of the Saga War
are arming up again.
**[07:03] Itou**
There's no way the army ignores that.
**[07:05] Itou**
Everything that happened eight
years ago is gonna happen again.
**[07:11] Itou**
You have to realize it by now.
**[07:14] Itou**
Pure idealism isn't enough
to change the world.
**[07:19] Kiichi**
But if I back down now...
what happens to Saga?
**[07:23] Kiichi**
It'll make everyone give up.
**[07:25] Kiichi**
They'll think Saga really can't
do anything and stop trying.
**[07:29] Kiichi**
Thinking they can't change anything...
**[07:31] Kiichi**
I can't let it end like that!
**[07:35] Kiichi**
No matter where you were born
or what your background is,
**[07:38] Kiichi**
Saga should be a place where people
can do what they want to!
**[07:42] Kiichi**
Where you can reach for the future!
And help each other!
**[07:45] Kiichi**
That's the new Saga I want to bring back!
**[07:48] Itou**
You need to wake up!
**[07:50] Itou**
How long are you going to keep yelling
about this stupid kid's dream?
**[07:53] Itou**
This country is still immature...
Twisted and barbaric.
**[07:57] Itou**
It will crush you like you're nothing!
**[08:01] Kiichi**
Quit trying to make it sound like it's over!
**[08:03] Kiichi**
Saga hasn't even begun yet!
**[08:57] Itou**
If this keeps up,
Kiichi's going to be a fugitive.
**[09:01] Itou**
He might not have meant to,
but he helped spark a rebellion.
**[09:05] Itou**
You should get out of Saga for a while.
**[09:07] Itou**
I wasn't joking about what I said before.
**[09:09] Itou**
I think together, the two of you could—
**[09:11] Yugiri**
Itou-han...
**[09:13] Yugiri**
Do Kiichi-han's ambitions really
seem that shallow to you?
**[09:22] Itou**
He's seriously such an idiot.
**[09:24] Itou**
Awkward and bashful, but determined,
in spite of being helpless...
**[09:29] Itou**
That's why I...
**[09:33] Itou**
Look after him for me.

Well, Kiichi? Does this change things?
Still not gonna give up?

**[12:23] Itou**
It would've been fine if you had
kept to your childish campaign.

**[12:29] Kiichi**
I-Itou...
**[12:32] Itou**
This is all I have.
**[12:37] Itou**
This country's still twisted and barbaric.
**[12:40] Itou**
Full of people like me, who don't know how
else to live and don't have any other options.

Stop, Itou!

Kiichi-han!

People will be on our trail.
You should leave Saga for now.
**[13:38] Kiichi**
Why'd it end up like this...?

I never really understood
what was going on...
**[13:46] Kiichi**
But Itou... and my comrades...
**[13:50] Kiichi**
Because of me! All of it!
**[13:52] Kiichi**
I stirred all this up! Let them all die!
**[13:55] Kiichi**
How am I... How am I supposed
to make a new Saga?!
**[14:04] Kiichi**
Please, just go.
**[14:06] Kiichi**
They're only after me...
**[14:09] Kiichi**
and I don't care anymore.
**[14:11] Kiichi**
I don't want you to—
**[14:15] Yugiri**
I don't want to hear any whining!
**[14:17] Yugiri**
What you're after might be a naive,
childish dream, Kiichi-han...
**[14:23] Yugiri**
But the fact is that was what
got things moving again in Saga.
**[14:27] Yugiri**
You have a responsibility
to see it through!
**[14:30] Yugiri**
A lot of people who were inspired
by your words have died.
**[14:34] Yugiri**
As it stands, that will all be for nothing
**[14:37] Yugiri**
if you don't make your dream a reality!
**[14:41] Yugiri**
You're going to get it back,
aren't you? Create a new Saga?
**[14:45] Yugiri**
Even when people mocked you,
you had faith in that and pressed on.
**[14:49] Yugiri**
Are you going to turn your back on
all of that and act like it meant nothing?
**[15:01] Yugiri**
Go through Mitsuse Pass,
then take a boat from Hakata to Nagasaki.
**[15:06] Yugiri**
The letter will tell you
what to do from there.
**[15:10] Yugiri**
I asked some old acquaintances
of mine for help.
**[15:14] Yugiri**
With their support, even the government
won't be able to lay a hand on you.
**[15:24] Yugiri**
This is all I can do for you.
**[15:26] Yugiri**
What happens once you survive is up to you.
**[15:30] Yugiri**
Please, show me what the new
Saga you create looks like.
**[15:47] Kiichi**
*I swear, with everything I have...*
**[15:50] Kiichi**
*I will create a new Saga!*
**[16:10] Itou**
Damn it, I didn't think a legendary
courtesan would be this legendary.
**[16:15] Itou**
Who the hell was the guy
who set you free, anyway?
**[16:20] Yugiri**
Have you ever heard the
name "Sheathed Kichiemon"?
**[16:25] Itou**
The Demon of Hibiya...!
**[16:31] Itou**
I better take this seriously, then.
**[17:14] Itou**
Sorry. I guess you're stuck
with the short end of the stick.
**[17:19] Yugiri**
Why...?
**[17:22] Itou**
A place where everyone...
can live freely, the way they want...
**[18:07] Yugiri**
* By the time you are reading this letter,*
* I will likely no longer be alive.*
**[18:14] Yugiri**
* A few of my old acquaintances have*
* sworn to look after Kiichi-han.*
**[18:19] Yugiri**
* But with blood having been spilled*
* and signs of rebellion growing in Saga,*
**[18:25] Yugiri**
* someone will have to accept*
* responsibility and punishment for it.*
**[18:29] Yugiri**
* I think that this entire*
* incident, and my involvement,*
**[18:33] Yugiri**
* will all be treated like it*
* never happened in the end.*
**[18:36] Yugiri**
* If Kiichi-han asks you,*
* please tell him I left Saga safely.*
**[18:43] Yugiri**
*And, if you truly are Saga itself...*
**[18:48] Yugiri**
* then please guide the new Saga*
* that Kiichi-han creates.*
**[19:03] Yugiri**
This is goodbye.

It's wonderful.
**[22:35] Yugiri**
I think really do love dancing
and singing for an audience.
**[22:42] Xu Fu**
What're you called again? The Saga—
**[22:44] Yugiri**
It's Franchouchou.
**[22:46] Xu Fu**
Right, that.
**[22:48] Xu Fu**
I guess all that fussing he did
amounted to something after all.
**[22:54] Yugiri**
It really did.
**[22:56] Yugiri**
And I'm truly grateful for that.
**[23:02] Yugiri**
It's my turn this time.
**[23:05] Yugiri**
I'm going to choose a path for myself,
in this new Saga...
**[23:08] Yugiri**

I'm lucky enough to have comrades
with the same goal, after all.

**[00:00] Sakura**
Why am I going to be an idol?
**[00:02] Kotaro**
We call it the Zombie
Land Saga Project, baby!
**[00:05] Ai**
Revitalizing a prefecture as local idols?
**[00:06] Lily**
That's our name now that we've been reborn!
**[00:08] Sakura**
Oh, what do I do now?!
**[00:09] Junko**
It's fine. I'll back you up.
**[00:11] Kotaro**
Doesn't matter if you don't,
as long as I do have what it takes!
**[00:12] Yugiri**
We would rather go on
stage and fail with you.
**[00:13] Sakura**
Is it okay if we... as Franchouchou...
**[00:16] Xu Fu**
It was a crazy scheme in the first place...
**[00:18] Kotaro**
There's a hard deadline on this project!
**[00:21] Ookoba**
There's no doubt about it...
**[00:23] Ookoba**
They're all dead.
**[00:25] Inubashiri**
Only other explanation is that they
were revived, like a bunch of zombies.
**[00:32] ---**
Even if we have nothing else,
we still have the future.
**[00:34] ---**
A lowest point? Starting over from
zero? That's just part of the saga.

**[02:03] Saki**
Damn, the article makes us look awesome!
**[02:07] Yugiri**
I suppose it really isn't Franchouchou
without all seven of us.
**[02:12] Lily**
It talks about how our first album
went on sale after the concert,
**[02:15] Lily**
and it became a one-of-a-kind
smash hit in the Saga idol scene!
**[02:19] Lily**
It wouldn't have killed them to
call it a "magical hit," though!

**[02:22] Sakura**
It's that writer who always covers us.
**[02:24] Ai**
He has given criticism sometimes,
so we can trust his opinion.
**[02:28] Ai**
We should pay attention to what he says.
**[02:30] Saki**
Hell, I bet we can rope in a
crowd of a thousand next time!
**[02:33] Ai**
Come on, getting cocky like that is exactly
how we'll end up making a mistake.
**[02:36] Junko**
We don't want to be overconfident.
**[02:38] Junko**
Let's stay sharp and keep working steadily.
**[02:39] Saki**
All right, let's stay sharp
so we don't screw up,

***SIGN*** Concert
**[02:59] Kotaro**
We're barreling right into a show at the
Ekimae Fudosan Stadium... EFS for short!
**[03:06] Sakura**
Ekimae Fudosan...?
**[03:09] Sakura**
Ai-chan?
**[03:10] Lily**
I've never heard of that stadium before.
**[03:14] Saki**
Doesn't matter how fancy the name is.
**[03:16] Saki**
We're set to bring in a
crowd of a thousand next time!
**[03:19] Ai**
It's not actually going to be
called that until February...
**[03:24] Kotaro**
Someone's done their homework.
**[03:26] Sakura**
The name is changing?
**[03:28] Saki**
What's it called now, though?
**[03:31] Ai**
The Best Amenity Stadium...
**[03:34] Ai**
The one in Tosu.
**[03:39] Sakura**
Ai-chan...
**[03:40] Ai**
I appreciate it, but I'm okay.
**[03:43] Ai**
The real issue here is the size.
**[03:46] Ai**
I'm pretty sure its seating capacity is...
**[03:49] Kotaro**
Approximately 25,000.
**[03:52] Junko**
Twenty-five thousand...?
**[03:53] Lily**
That's *fifty* times the size of Arpino.
**[03:55] Kotaro**
With standing room on the
field for even more.
**[03:58] Saki**
I'm having trouble picturing this...
Is that a number I could beat in a fight?
**[04:02] Sakura**
That's really impressive—
**[04:03] Ai**
There's no way we can pull that off!
**[04:06] Kotaro**
The show is scheduled for March 8th.
**[04:09] Ai**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[04:10] Ai**
This isn't Fukuoka! We're in Saga!
**[04:13] Ai**
A stadium in Saga... Iron Frill was
able to manage it back then, but—
**[04:15] Kotaro**
Except y'all are a lot better now!
**[04:20] Kotaro**
Or what?
**[04:22] Kotaro**
Are you going to say that Franchouchou isn't
as good now as Iron Frill was ten years ago?
**[04:28] Kotaro**
Each and every one of you is a legend...
**[04:35] Kotaro**
With one exception, you're all legendary.
**[04:37] Sakura**
Pretty sure he was looking
right at me just now.
**[04:39] Kotaro**
I chose and resurrected
you all to save Saga!
**[04:42] Kotaro**
You can accomplish anything!
**[04:45] Kotaro**
EFS will be filled to capacity
with Franchouchou fans!
**[04:48] Kotaro**
And then, once you've got the crowd on fire,
**[04:51] Kotaro**
you'll blow them up with the new
song as an encore, like boom!
**[04:56] Kotaro**
Franchouchou's legend is going to
keep blowing up like a cluster bomb!
**[05:03] Saki**
Look, even I can tell that Shades is
being a bigger dumbass than ever before.
**[05:08] Saki**
Can we seriously pull this off?
**[05:10] Ai**
Normally? I'd say it's 100% impossible.
**[05:12] Junko**
It's just too unrealistic...
**[05:14] Saki**
But y'know...
**[05:15] Ai**
I know it's a little too late for us to
start thinking about what's normal or realistic.
**[05:19] Lily**
Sure is.
**[05:20] Sakura**
If Kotaro-san is serious about this...
**[05:23] Sakura**
Maybe he has some kind of reason behind it?
**[05:26] Lily**
You think Tatsumi actually has a plan?
**[05:31] Sakura**
Let's... try it.
**[05:35] Ai**
Do you realize what taking this on means?
**[05:38] Sakura**
I dunno if we can manage it, but...
**[05:40] Sakura**
If there's a place where we can all sing
and dance together, I'm willing to try it.
**[05:44] Sakura**
I want to go on stage with you
all as many times as I can!
**[05:48] Saki**
You're on.
**[05:50] Lily**
There was a lot of trouble at Arpino, too,
**[05:52] Lily**
and we managed to get through that!
**[05:54] Yugiri**
If you think about it, there's never been a time
when we weren't doing something crazy.
**[05:57] Saki**
Hell, we're already zombies.
**[05:59] Saki**
And that means there's no
sense in chickening out.
**[06:02] Junko**
I'm honestly a little shaken at how
**[06:04] Junko**
listening to you all makes
me believe we can accomplish this...
**[06:11] Ai**
I'm surrounded by a bunch
of crazy optimists.
**[06:13] Ai**
If we're going to do this, we need our
performance to be even better than Arpino.
**[06:17] Junko**
Anything less than our full effort
is bound to be a failure.
**[06:21] Sakura**
Ai-chan, I hope you really
put us through our paces!
**[06:23] Ai**
Obviously I will.
**[06:24] Ai**
This is where we address everything
I've been letting you guys slide on so far...
**[06:27] Sakura**
Yeah!
**[06:27] Ai**
That goes double for you, Sakura.
**[06:29] Sakura**
But could you still be gentle, please...?
**[06:31] Ai**
Don't get soft now!
**[06:42] Saki**
Something still bugging you?
**[06:45] Ai**
Of course there is.
**[06:47] Ai**
Despite how it turned out,
I did technically die there.
**[06:49] Saki**
Don't sweat it. It's not
like you can die twice.
**[06:52] Ai**
I'm not sure you'd understand, considering
you jumped off the same cliff twice.
**[06:59] Saki**
You remember what you said back at the park?
**[07:02] (Flashback) Ai**
I don't care if I'm a zombie.
I will get up on stage again, and then...
**[07:09] Saki**
Let's make it happen.
**[07:10] Saki**
If anything happens, I'll clean it up.
**[07:13] Saki**
I might be the boss now, but at heart,
I'm still the gal who leads the attack.
**[07:16] Saki**
In idol group terms, you're the leader, okay?
**[07:20] Saki**
Okay, that's scary!
**[07:22] Junko**
I didn't see either of you,
so I thought I'd check...
**[07:24] Ai**
I-It's nothing special, I just...
**[07:27] Junko**
It'll be all right.
**[07:28] Junko**
I'll be there to back you up, too.
**[07:31] Junko**
I feel bad about eavesdropping, but...
**[07:34] Saki**
Hell yeah! Why don't we have
a rally to get set for the show?!
**[07:37] Ai**
Seriously, we're not bikers!
**[07:42] Kotaro**
Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
**[07:46] Kotaro**
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah...
**[07:49] Kotaro**
No, that's not it.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Ai**
There's no way we can pull that off!
**[07:57] Kotaro**
Yeah, yeah, woo— No, not right.

I didn't have any made.
**[08:17] Junko**
What are you...?!
**[08:18] Kotaro**
We're only selling tickets
on the day of the show.
**[08:20] Ai**
Why would you do that?!
**[08:22] Kotaro**
With this concert,
**[08:23] Kotaro**
we need to make it clear to the entire
world that Franchouchou has risen in Saga.
**[08:27] Kotaro**
Which means it needs to be legendary,
in as many aspects as possible.
**[08:30] Kotaro**
Ordinary methods won't cut it.
**[08:33] Kotaro**
Remember everything you've
accomplished so far...

Hey, look, it's Franzhouzhou...

Kotaro-san, you never came back.
We were worried about you—
**[10:19] Kotaro**
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
**[10:21] Kotaro**
Kotaro-san, reporting for duty!
**[10:27] Sakura**
Were you out drinking all night?
**[10:29] Kotaro**
Yes, I was! Cuz we're 20
million in debt, y'know!
**[10:36] Kotaro**
S'pretty wild, right? Twenty million! In debt!
**[10:41] Sakura**
We're in debt? For 20 million yen?!
**[10:44] Saki**
For real?
**[10:45] Ai**
I think so.
**[10:47] Junko**
It's only natural, considering the scope
of the concert and how badly it failed.
**[10:52] Kotaro**
What's with all the serious faces?!
**[10:54] Kotaro**
Franchouchou is done! Saga's done, too!

And doing her own cosmetics?
**[12:23] Ai**
That's crazy...
**[12:27] Sakura**
We were wrong all along.
**[12:31] Sakura**
We can do it if we try, just like Tae-chan!
**[12:35] Sakura**
But we weren't even trying!
**[12:37] Junko**
"As zombies, we can't do anything
without Tatsumi-san."
**[12:40] Junko**
We just assumed that was true and gave up.
**[12:43] Sakura**
Yeah. At some point we started to
take Kotaro-san's help for granted.
**[12:47] Ai**
You're right. That's kind of what
happened at the EFS show, too.
**[12:50] Ai**
We assumed he'd figure something out
as long as we tried our hardest.
**[12:55] Sakura**
And that was wrong!
**[12:59] Saki**
I guess if we've got the makeup,
we might as well use it.
**[13:02] Lily**
How are we gonna pay back the debt, then?
**[13:05] Sakura**
Let's get jobs!
**[13:06] Sakura**
If we can't do idol stuff right now, let's
think of ways to make money until we can!
**[13:10] Lily**
Will I be able to help, too?
**[13:12] Yugiri**
Of course.
**[13:13] Junko**
We should do it.
**[13:14] Saki**
We always pull it off when
we're cornered, anyway.
**[13:16] Sakura**
From now on, we'll do
the thinking ourselves.
**[13:18] Sakura**
We won't let what's happened
before limit us! We'll move forward!
**[13:26] Ai**
*That's right... In the end, I still haven't...*
**[13:31] Sakura**
Ai-chan?
**[13:32] Ai**
Let's do it!
**[13:34] Ai**
If we can't, we're just regular zombies.
**[13:37] Sakura**
Yeah! We'll figure this out
and get our revenge!

**[13:55] Fishermen**
Well, he sure is dead.
**[13:58] Fishermen**
What's the rest? Is it all squid?
**[14:00] Fishermen**
Never seen anything like it...
**[14:03] Fishermen**
He's alive?!
**[14:04] Fishermen**
Mister, are you okay?
**[14:09] Kotaro**
No problems here. Just got a
little swept away by the tide.
**[14:18] Inubashiri**
And apparently that's what happened!
**[14:19] Inubashiri**
Is that wild or what?!
**[14:22] Inubashiri**
The squid man! Let's check it out!
**[14:24] Ookoba**
I'll let you handle it.
**[14:26] Inubashiri**
Seriously? Is this story of yours
that big a deal, Ookoba-san?
**[14:29] Ookoba**
I bet even the Tokyo pubs are
gonna want a piece of it...
**[14:33] Coworker**
Inubashiri!
**[14:34] Inubashiri**
Oh, right!
**[14:35] Inubashiri**
Well, I'll look forward to it while
I'm on the trail of the Squid Man!
**[14:46] Kotaro**
G'morning.
**[14:47] Sakura**
What happened to you?
**[14:49] Kotaro**
Not important.
**[14:54] Saki**
C'mon, say some—
**[14:55] Kotaro**
One year ago... I made a mistake.
**[14:59] Kotaro**
March 8th of last year...
**[15:01] Kotaro**
Insisting on the EFS show was a
complete failure on my behalf.
**[15:04] Kotaro**
I'm sorry.
**[15:08] Kotaro**
And in order to make up for that...
**[15:10] Kotaro**
Next month, on March 8th, you'll be
performing your revenge concert at EFS.
**[15:18] Kotaro**
You'll be performing your
revenge concert at EFS.
**[15:19] Ai**
Hold—
**[15:20] Kotaro**
That said!
**[15:21] Kotaro**
This time, I'm not booking it based purely
on momentum and self-satisfaction.
**[15:26] Kotaro**
Franchouchou has done a fantastic
job of reviving in the past year.
**[15:30] Kotaro**
Your album and merchandise sales
**[15:33] Kotaro**
have been growing like the rice in the
fields of Hamanoura and Warabino.
**[15:37] Kotaro**
And, more importantly,
you have all grown a lot.
**[15:41] Kotaro**
Even then, EFS will
prove to be a challenge.
**[15:44] Kotaro**
I'm working on a variety of advertising
projects that will lead into the EFS show.
**[15:49] Kotaro**
I'm going to put everything I have
into doing everything I possibly can.
**[15:52] Kotaro**
And, to make Franchouchou
into an even bigger legend,
**[15:56] Kotaro**
we'll incorporate that past
failure into our success story.
**[16:00] Ai**
That's why you want to do it on March 8th...
**[16:02] Kotaro**
Listen to me!
**[16:03] Kotaro**
The battle we're about to
embark on will be remembered
**[16:06] Kotaro**
in the history of Saga as one of the
most notable things to ever happen!
**[16:10] Kotaro**
Even if Saga itself is
forced to suffer a cruel fate
**[16:14] Kotaro**
where it's swallowed into
the darkness of despair,
**[16:16] Kotaro**
the seven of you will remain a
shining light amidst that darkness!
**[16:22] Kotaro**
I chose and resurrected
you zombies to save Saga!
**[16:28] Kotaro**
When you complete your revenge,
**[16:31] Kotaro**
it will signal the beginning
of Saga's counterattack!
**[16:39] Kotaro**
Achoo.
**[16:40] Saki**
What's with the sneeze?!
**[16:41] Kotaro**
It's not a problem.
**[16:42] Lily**
I thought it was cute.
**[16:43] Saki**
You killed the moment, dude...
**[16:44] Kotaro**
P-P-Pipe down!

**[16:54] Ookoba**
Kotaro Tatsumi-san, right?
**[16:58] Ookoba**
The name's Arata Ookoba. I'm part
of *Sagazine*'s editorial staff.
**[17:02] Kotaro**
I always read your articles.
**[17:05] Ookoba**
That show last year was quite a shame...
**[17:08] Ookoba**
But lately it seems your girls have
really been outdoing themselves.
**[17:13] Ookoba**
I assume you're here to keep
past mistakes in mind?
**[17:16] Kotaro**
Group policy is that I don't do personal—
**[17:18] Ookoba**
You do this job for long enough and you
make all kinds of acquaintances all over.
**[17:23] Ookoba**
That said, it took me a while
to connect the dots this time.
**[17:27] Ookoba**
Sakura Minamoto-san... Saki Nikaido-san...
**[17:30] Ookoba**
Ai Mizuno-san... Junko Konno-san...
**[17:33] Ookoba**
Lily Hoshikawa aka Masao Go-san...
**[17:36] Ookoba**
And Tae Yamada-san.
**[17:37] Ookoba**
They've all passed away.
**[17:40] Ookoba**
Sadly, I wasn't able to dig
anything up on Number Five.
**[17:46] Ookoba**
You have to tell me...
**[17:48] Ookoba**
Just what are these girls?
**[17:51] Ookoba**
I have pictures like this, too.
**[17:54] Ookoba**
I can have the graves dug up, you know.
**[17:58] Kotaro**
Why would you write about this?
**[18:00] Ookoba**
To put a stop to you trying to profit off
these dead girls by making them into idols...
**[18:07] Ookoba**
Would you accept that as a reason?
**[18:11] Ookoba**
You can keep quiet, but once the article
gets published, the truth will be out there.
**[18:16] Ookoba**
I've gotta wonder what
the public will think...
**[18:21] Kotaro**
Franchouchou will be performing
a concert here next month.
**[18:25] Kotaro**
A revenge concert.
**[18:27] Ookoba**
Are you insane?
**[18:28] Ookoba**
What would be the point of
re-enacting that disaster?
**[18:31] Ookoba**
You need to stop turning the
dead into entertainment!
**[18:34] Kotaro**
No matter what article you write,
there's no stopping Franchouchou.
**[18:41] Ookoba**
I'm not letting this revenge show happen!
**[18:55] Staff**
You okay down there?
**[19:01] Xu Fu**
Sounds like this isn't going to work out
like it did with the high school girl.
**[19:06] Xu Fu**
Though, I'm kind of surprised
no one caught on sooner.
**[19:10] Xu Fu**
There's more in your way than
just this reporter, too.
**[19:13] Xu Fu**
You might be lucky if all
that happens next time
**[19:16] Xu Fu**
is a few scratches and your
clothes getting stolen...
**[19:18] Kotaro**
I don't care what gets in the way.
I'm going to make this EFS show a success.
**[19:23] Kotaro**
I'm not making the same mistake again.
**[19:26] Xu Fu**
To think that the gloomy, half-crazed kid I
met 12 years ago could pull all this off...
**[19:32] Kotaro**
Do you think anyone who wasn't gloomy and
half-crazed would ever have believed you?
**[19:37] Kotaro**
That you're fighting a curse that's been at
work in this land for thousands of years...
**[19:40] Kotaro**
That you're immortal....
**[19:42] Kotaro**
And that you can revive the dead?
**[19:45] Xu Fu**
You got what you wanted, though.
**[19:47] Kotaro**
Not yet.
**[19:49] Kotaro**
I still have to prevent your prophecy.
**[19:54] Xu Fu**
With the beginning of the Reiwa era,
Saga will face a cataclysmic threat...
**[19:58] Xu Fu**
A cataclysm wherein no one
will think of Saga anymore,
**[20:02] Xu Fu**
and it will even vanish from their memories.
**[20:06] Xu Fu**
Things are already looking bad enough
with the shrinking population...
**[20:09] Kotaro**
In that case, I just need to create something
people will never forget, here in Saga.
**[20:15] Xu Fu**
Taking girls who were killed by the curse,
who would have brought glory to Saga...
**[20:20] Xu Fu**
Gathering them together
and making them into an idol group.
**[20:24] Xu Fu**
I'll admit it's a hell of an idea.
**[20:25] Xu Fu**
This Mount Mifuneyama Rakuen
Project of yours...
**[20:28] Kotaro**
It's the Zombie Land Saga Project.
**[20:31] Xu Fu**
Right, that.
**[20:33] Xu Fu**
The world of man will always be
shaped by the actions of men...
**[20:37] Kotaro**
You're wrong there.
**[20:39] Kotaro**
It will be shaped by men and zombies.
**[20:47] Radio**
* Overnight and into tomorrow morning,*
* there's a severe rain warning for Kyushu.*
**[20:54] Radio**
* Coastal areas and rivers*
* are under a flood warning...*
**[20:54] Junko**
That's a lot of rain...
**[20:56] Sakura**
I wonder if Kotaro-san's okay.
**[20:58] Saki**
He'll be fine.
**[21:00] Sakura**
I hope so...
**[21:01] Saki**
Maybe we can hit him up with the
waterproof spray this time!
**[21:04] Saki**
Our final revenge is
getting started tomorrow.
**[21:08] Saki**
Make sure to get lots of rest.
**[21:09] Sakura**
Yeah.
**[21:16] Ookoba**
There we go.
**[21:18] Ookoba**
I have to admit, this is a
hell of a thing to write...
**[21:22] (Flashback) Kotaro**
They'll be performing a concert
here at EFS next month.
**[21:26] Ookoba**
Can't believe he'd put the
dead on display like that.

Something's happening to my body!

I have to tell... Kotaro-san...
***SIGN*** Zombie Land Saga Revenge
**[01:13] Sakura**
So, it looks like we're adrift.
**[01:15] Yugiri**
Well, that's surprising.
**[01:18] Ai**
Where are we even headed?!
Will we be able to make it back?
**[01:20] Saki**
Chill out! Even if we sink,
we won't die! Probably.
**[01:23] Lily**
Maybe we'll get to a deserted island.
Then we can go on an adventure!
**[01:27] Saki**
Zombie survival, huh?
Good thinking, shrimpy!
**[01:32] Sakura**
For now, let's do our makeup so we'll
be ready for anything that happens.
**[01:37] Ookoba**
What a mess...
**[01:49] Ookoba**
Damn it! There's no way
to know what's going on.
***SIGN*** Inubashiri
Calling...
**[01:54] Xu Fu**
This is just like the depopulation.
**[01:57] Xu Fu**
The curse that would strike
Saga when Reiwa begins.
**[02:00] Xu Fu**
The fact that we weren't able to settle
things a year ago, when it was still Heisei...
**[02:05] Xu Fu**
Has been just as bad as I figured it would.
**[02:08] Kotaro**
We need to get out of here!
**[02:16] Kotaro**
No, no, no, no, no, no, no—
***SIGN*** Hamasaki Beach Park

This isn't a deserted island. It's Saga.
**[02:29] Sakura**
Pretty close to where we started out, too.
**[02:31] Saki**
Damn, I know there's not exactly
a ton of people, but...
**[02:34] Yugiri**
What's in that case there, Junko-han?
**[02:36] Junko**
The tools for making Ozaki dolls.
**[02:39] Junko**
I wanted to make sure they
didn't get wet, so...
**[02:41] Yugiri**
Always the hard worker.
**[02:45] Ai**
What is it?
**[02:52] Lily**
It's so old and crummy, it's gonna collapse!
**[02:54] Saki**
Oh, man! We've gotta get
all our crap out of there!
**[03:22] Lily**
Our house is gone.
**[03:26] Sakura**
All our costumes...
and Kotaro-san's instruments...
**[03:30] Ai**
And our makeup!
**[03:31] Sakura**
What do we do?!
**[03:33] Junko**
I'm sorry! I should have
brought that instead!
**[03:37] Yugiri**
Well, things have taken
a turn for the troublesome.
**[03:40] Lily**
So much crazy stuff has happened,
I can't get worked up about it anymore.
**[03:45] Junko**
I have to agree.
**[03:46] Ai**
I understand how you feel, but...
what're we gonna do now?
**[03:50] Machiko**
Sanko-chan?
**[03:52] Ai**
Machiko-san!
**[03:54] Machiko**
What're you gals doing out here?
**[03:56] Lily**
Who's that?
**[03:57] Ai**
We work together at the factory.
**[03:59] Ai**
It, uh, looks like our
house got swept away...
**[04:02] Machiko**
That rubble is what's left of your
house? Oh, gosh, what a mess!
**[04:06] Machiko**
And when you were all living together...
**[04:08] Machiko**
You should all come on down to Kation,
then. It's been turned into a shelter.
**[04:16] Saki**
Damn, dude...
**[04:18] Junko**
The damage must be even
worse than we thought.
**[04:20] Machiko**
The actual shelter was too much
of a mess to use, so here we are.
**[04:24] Machiko**
This whole thing's a disaster.
**[04:27] Machiko**
And we all know it's times like this that
you have to put on a strong face, but...
**[04:32] Machiko**
You know how it is.
**[04:34] Sakura**
I wonder where Kotaro-san is.
**[04:40] Machiko**
Sorry to stick you all up here,
but there's no other space.
**[04:43] Ai**
Oh, no apologies necessary!
It's a huge relief.
**[04:46] Ai**
You even had tarp to spare.
We're really grateful.
**[04:49] Lily**
Thank you so much!
**[04:52] Lily**
Well, with how popular you are,
it might work out better this way.
**[04:55] Lily**
There's cardboard you can lay out
to sit on and blankets downstairs,
**[04:58] Lily**
so come and pick those up later.
**[05:00] Lily**

Oh, it's totally fine! You girls

She must've been hungry! Eat on up.

Oh, my, aren't you a hungry little dear!
**[05:42] Sakura**
I-Is there anything we can help with?
**[05:44] Lady**
Oh, we could definitely use a hand!
**[06:10] Machiko**
Everybody from the factory knows how
hard a worker you are, Sanko-chan...
**[06:13] Machiko**
But I guess that goes for all of you!
**[06:16] Machiko**
Make sure to get rest when you can.
**[06:17] Machiko**
The rest of us will be in
trouble without your help!

Oh, you don't have to worry about us!
Because we're zombies—

Ookoba-san!
**[07:39] Inubashiri**
I've got a broad idea of what's going on...
**[07:42] Ookoba**
Is it the whole prefecture?
**[07:43] Inubashiri**
Yeah. All of Saga and parts of the
neighboring prefectures have lost power.
**[07:47] Inubashiri**
A bunch of towers have been knocked over,
**[07:49] Inubashiri**
which means the internet
and cell phones are down.
**[07:51] Ookoba**
Damn it, this is why I said we should
get a satellite phone for the office!
**[07:55] Inubashiri**
The roads are all a mess, too.
**[07:57] Inubashiri**
Sounds like everyone from the worst-hit
areas is staying in shelters.
**[08:02] Inubashiri**
So, should we split up again?
**[08:09] News**
I'm coming to you from the Kation location in
Karatsu that has been converted into a shelter.
**[08:14] News**
I'm with NBK Fukuoka. How are
things going around here?
**[08:17] Hat**
I mean, it's pretty crazy with
everyone having to stay here!
**[08:20] Hat**
It's gotta be, right?!
**[08:21] Hat**
This is the biggest shelter in the area,
so it's like all of Saga's here!
**[08:25] Hat**
Not really, though!
**[08:27] Hat**
Feels pretty weird, sleeping
where you used to shop!
**[08:31] Lady**
Oh, I'd definitely say I miss my house.
**[08:34] Lady**
But everyone's trying their
best to stay upbeat.
**[08:38] Lady**
If it weren't for that,
I'd have hit my limit already.
**[08:42] Lady**
I'm sure of it. So, I'm really grateful.
**[08:46] Dad**
W-Well, we're really concerned
about the kids and the elderly!
**[08:50] Dad**
And there's no telling
how long it'll last...
**[08:53] Dad**
We've got a few kids ourselves!
**[08:54] Dad**
The youngest is two and she
really takes after her mom!
**[08:57] Dad**
But, y'know, those girls are always
around to play with them...
**[09:01] Dad**
Oh, that's them over there.
**[09:02] Saki**
Okay, let's get started!

All right, kiddos, I see this

No pushing, okay?

**[10:09] News**
Have you been performing every day?
**[10:12] Sakura**
Y-Yes! During the day we help out
with whatever needs to be done,
**[10:15] Sakura**
and at night we sing and dance a little.
**[10:19] News**
I saw a lot of smiles.
They seemed to really enjoy it.
**[10:21] Sakura**
W-We're just t-trying to do what we can!
**[10:27] News**
Number Two, you're the group's leader.
**[10:29] News**
Can you tell us how you
ended up helping like this?
**[10:32] Saki**
Yeah! We're just doing what we gotta do!
**[10:35] Ai**
Come on, that's not much of an answer!
**[10:39] (Flashback) Ookoba**
You brought these girls back to life,
without their permission...
**[10:43] (Flashback) Ookoba**
I'm going to put a stop to you trying to profit off
these dead girls by making them into idols...
**[10:47] Saki**
W-Well, it's like... we
gotta do what we gotta do!

(You okay?!)
**[10:58] Xu Fu**
Still alive...
**[11:00] Kotaro**
I'm... not dying...
**[11:04] Dirty Harry**
Hey, anyone down here?
**[11:06] Dirty Harry**
Nobody down here? Aw, damn it,
my pants are soaked through...
**[11:11] Kotaro**
(Hey! We're in here!)
**[11:14] Kotaro**
(We're in here!)
**[11:16] Dirty Harry**
Wait, you in there? Can you
try and show me where?
**[11:19] Kotaro**
(We're right over here!)
**[11:21] Dirty Harry**
Holy crap, there you are! Hang on a sec!
**[11:29] Kotaro**
Please, look after him.
**[11:31] Dirty Harry**
Sure. What about you?
**[11:33] Kotaro**
I have somewhere I need to go.
**[11:36] Dirty Harry**
Whoa, wait! I actually
have a lot of questions—
**[11:39] Xu Fu**
I'd tell you not to do anything stupid...
but you're not gonna listen.
**[11:43] Kotaro**
You're not going to die.
**[11:45] Kotaro**
Franchouchou will save Saga.
**[11:54] Sakura**
Let's all do our best again today!
**[11:57] FCC**
Yeah!
**[12:02] Sakura**
Huh?

Can't let despair block the vision
***SIGN*** The Morning After Torrential Rain
**[12:52] [SONG] Kotaro**
I'm only hoping for the future
**[12:57] [SONG] Kotaro**
Fantasies aren't enough
to push back the darkness
**[13:03] [SONG] Kotaro**
I want to be able to fight back with reality
**[13:09] [SONG] Kotaro**
And I can't give up on Saga
**[13:14] [SONG] Kotaro**
Even if it's a never-ending battle
**[13:22] Kids**
Hey, what do you think
Franchouchou's gonna sing today?
**[13:27] Parents**
Good question.
**[13:34] Saki**
This is rough.
**[13:36] Saki**
It was starting to flake off during work...
**[13:39] Saki**
Woulda been real bad news without the mask.
**[13:46] Lily**
Romero! Shhh!
**[13:49] Ai**
I asked Machiko-san for some makeup, but...
**[13:55] Ai**
I knew it.
**[13:56] Ai**
It needs to be our special
makeup, or it won't stay on.
**[13:59] Yugiri**
I get the feeling the remaining patches
will come off while we're singing.
**[14:03] Junko**
Masks won't be much help at that point.
**[14:05] Lily**
But everyone's looking forward to it...
**[14:09] Ookoba**
*This is what they really look like?*
**[14:12] Sakura**
But... I don't want to just give up.
**[14:16] Saki**
Right on.
**[14:17] Lily**
Me neither.
**[14:17] Yugiri**
We should keep going if we can find a way.
**[14:20] Junko**
I think so, too.
**[14:22] Ai**
I feel the same way.
**[14:23] Ai**
But... without a way to actually do it...
**[14:26] Yugiri**
Masks to hide our faces would work, but...
**[14:30] Lily**
Hey, there are toy stores in the mall,
right? Maybe they have masks!
**[14:34] Ai**
That's a good idea.
**[14:35] Ai**
But... the stores are all closed.
**[14:38] Saki**
Maybe we should break in!
**[14:39] Junko**
That would be more like
typical zombie behavior.
**[14:42] Saki**
Damn it, what're we gonna do?!
**[14:45] Lily**
For now, let's get some distance
from the destructive ideas.
**[14:49] Junko**
The paint for the Ozaki dolls...
**[14:52] Junko**
That's it!
**[14:54] Junko**
If we don't have masks,
we can make them!
**[15:17] Ookoba**
What're they trying to do?
**[15:22] Saki**
Good evening! We're Franchouchou!
**[15:25] Saki**
We're gonna give it our all
to sing for you tonight!
**[15:27] Saki**
So we're counting on you to cheer for us!
**[15:32] Sakura**
*Is this... not working?*
**[15:34] Ookoba**
* Do these girls think*
* about the risks at all?*
**[15:38] Kids**
It's like these!
**[15:41] Sakura**
That's right!
**[15:42] Saki**
They get it!
**[15:44] Sakura**
We're clear!
**[15:46] Saki**
Nice.
**[15:48] Saki**
I think we're good, right?
**[15:49] Saki**
It's a better reception
than I figured we'd get.
**[15:51] Junko**
I'm a little worried about
the bake quality...
**[15:52] Ai**
Let's take this as far as we can.
**[15:54] Lily**
Go, go!
**[15:54] Yugiri**
It's just our style.
**[15:57] Sakura**
Ready and...
**[15:58] Sakura**
We're Franchouchou!
**[16:14] Saki**
Crap! Crapcrapcrap!
**[16:16] Ai**
I think the openings for the
eyes made them less durable...
**[16:18] Junko**
They weren't baked thoroughly enough!
**[16:19] Yugiri**
That's not really the issue.
**[16:20] Lily**
They got a good look at us!
**[16:23] Sakura**
What do we do? What do we do?
What do we do? What do we do?!
**[16:26] Ookoba**
*They've done it now!*
**[16:29] Saki**
If it's come to this...
**[16:31] Saki**
We don't have any other options. Right?
**[16:34] Saki**
Uh... listen... We're sorry
for hiding it all along.
**[16:44] Saki**
We're...
**[16:44] Kids**
Did you get hurt?
**[16:48] Saki**
Nah, it's not that...
**[16:50] Saki**
We're zombies.
**[16:53] Kids**
Nuh-uh! Zombies are scary.
**[16:56] Kids**
Yeah!
**[16:57] Kids**
They're bitey! And dangerous!
**[17:00] Kids**
You're not scary, so you're
not zombies! You're...
**[17:04] Kids**
Yeah, that's right!
**[17:08] Kids**
You're Franchouchou!
**[17:11] Kids**
Yeah, Franchouchou!
**[17:14] Kids**
And cute!
**[17:16] Kids**
Franchouchou!
**[17:17] Kids**
Franchouchou! Franchouchou!
Franchouchou! Franchouchou!
**[17:26] Ai**
Aw, you figured it out!
**[17:27] Sakura**
Ai-chan?!
**[17:28] Ai**
And here we went and got this zombie
makeup to try to scare you!
**[17:34] Kids**
Oh! That's funny!
**[17:36] Ai**
Okay, kids, we hope you
have fun again today!
**[17:40] Kids**
Yeah!
**[17:42] Kids**
Franchouchou! Franchouchou!
Franchouchou! Franchouchou!
**[17:50] Saki**
All right, everybody!
**[17:51] Saki**
We're ready to rock this mall
again today, so check it out!
**[17:53] Kids**
Yeah!
**[18:05] Ookoba**
* It's not that they didn't*
* consider the risk...*
**[18:07] Ookoba**
* These girls are risking more than I can*
* imagine, every time they get on stage.*
**[18:12] Ookoba**
*But... they care more about...*
**[18:15] Ookoba**
*conveying how they feel.*
**[18:18] Kotaro**
Those girls... Franchouchou... are idols.
**[18:23] Kotaro**
No matter what state they're in,
I believe that as they exist now...
**[18:27] Kotaro**
Is the embodiment of true idols.
**[18:31] Kotaro**
Ookoba-san...
**[18:33] Kotaro**
I'd like to ask for your help.
**[18:38] Sakura**
I thought we were done for...
**[18:40] Saki**
We made it through this time...
**[18:42] Ai**
Those kids saved us.
**[18:44] Yugiri**
It truly is a blessing to have fans.
**[18:48] Lily**
What're we going to do tomorrow, though?
**[18:50] Junko**
Let's bake the masks more thoroughly
so that they're more durable.
**[18:53] Sakura**
That's not the actual problem.
**[18:54] Ai**
I don't know if we have any
other options, though...
**[18:57] Kotaro**
Get that masked nonsense out of your heads!
**[19:00] Sakura**
Kotaro-san!
**[19:01] Saki**
Where the hell has your shady ass been?!
**[19:03] Ai**
Do you realize how much
trouble we've been through?!
**[19:07] Junko**
Ozaki dolls are normally
made with a lot more care!
**[19:10] Sakura**
That's... not the actual issue...
**[19:12] Lily**
You are so late!
**[19:15] Kotaro**
Oh, pipe down!
**[19:17] Kotaro**
For now, just line up!
**[19:19] Kotaro**
We've gotta do something
about the way you all look.
**[19:25] Kotaro**
I haven't given up on our revenge.
**[19:27] Kotaro**
We're still having the concert on March 8th.
**[19:31] Ai**
Are you serious?
**[19:33] Kotaro**
I think this disaster is exactly
why it needs to happen.
**[19:38] Kotaro**
Seeing you all has made me sure of that.
**[19:42] Kotaro**
Saga needs to see you singing.
**[19:48] Kotaro**
The adults are waiting.
**[19:52] Kotaro**
So are the children.
**[19:55] Kotaro**
You girls are idols.
**[19:59] Kotaro**
You were able to bring smiles to the people
here... so I know you can do this.
**[20:07] Kotaro**
That said, we're going to
be working with a handicap.
**[20:12] Kotaro**
We won't have time for rehearsals
on the day of the show, either.
**[20:15] Kotaro**
You'll be coming in without
practice. Are you willing—
**[20:18] Sakura**
Even so...
**[20:20] Sakura**
Even so, if that'll help the people of Saga,
we're willing to risk our lives.
**[20:28] Kotaro**
'Cept your lives are already over.
**[20:30] Kotaro**
On March 8th, sixteen days from now,
you'll need to assemble at EFS at 10 a.m.
**[20:35] Kotaro**
I'm going to do *everything*
I can in the meantime.
**[20:38] Kotaro**
You're gonna do everything zombiely
possible, and then let the dice fall. Got it?
**[20:45] Sakura**
Kotaro-san!
**[20:53] Kotaro**
What is it?
**[20:56] Sakura**
I just... realized I never
actually told you this.
**[21:00] Sakura**
All this time, you've never given up...
**[21:03] Sakura**
Well, except for that one time.
**[21:06] Sakura**
But even so, we only made it this far
because you were here to pull us along.
**[21:12] Sakura**
And now, just like I was moved
after seeing Ai-chan...
**[21:15] Sakura**
I met a girl like Maimai-chan,
who felt the same way after seeing me.
**[21:21] Sakura**
And it's just... I mean, everything's
been a mess since that rainstorm, but...
**[21:26] Sakura**
Performing here at the shelter...
**[21:29] Sakura**
It's like I've found the real reason to sing
with the others, since becoming a zombie...
**[21:34] Sakura**
That's what it feels like.
**[21:38] Sakura**
So, I just... Kotaro-san...
**[21:45] Sakura**
Thank you for making me an idol!
**[21:57] (Flashback) Sakura**
Thank you, Inui-kun!

***SIGN*** March 1st, 2020
**[00:02] Staff**
We've been working with the power
companies and communications services,
***SIGN*** Saga Prefectural Office Special Task Force HQ
**[00:05] Staff**
and they've gotten cellular service and
web access back up in certain areas.
**[00:09] governor**
How long does it look like it'll
take for the entire prefecture?
**[00:11] Staff**
There's still no real way to tell...
**[00:13] Staff**
Since transportation is so limited,
it puts a damper on repairs.
**[00:18] governor**
Where are we at in terms
of estimating the damage?
**[00:19] Staff**
The areas that have
reestablished communications
**[00:22] Staff**
have been reporting their casualties
and evacuation status,
**[00:24] Staff**
along with damage to residential
areas and transport infrastructure.
**[00:28] governor**
We need an accurate assessment
as quickly as possible.
**[00:30] Itou 2**
There's been flooding
throughout the prefecture,
**[00:33] Itou 2**
but it looks like it's been most severe in
the north and the Sajiro and Sanshin areas.
**[00:36] Itou 2**
The water itself is gradually
starting to recede, but...
**[00:39] Itou 2**
It's still too early to
make any real estimations.
**[00:41] governor**
Watch for any additional problems
the initial damage might cause.
**[00:43] Itou 2**
I'll coordinate with the JSDF, fire services,
**[00:45] Itou 2**
and the Social Welfare Council to try
to deal with things as they develop.
**[00:48] governor**
Please do.
**[00:51] Kotaro**
Governor! I need to speak with you! Please!
**[00:51] Guard**
Stop that!
**[00:53] Kotaro**
You have to put a rush on getting the
infrastructure around the Tosu area back up!
**[00:56] Kotaro**
Isn't Tosu a critical intersection
for land-based transport in Kyushu?!
**[00:59] Itou 2**
We should move you to a
different room to be safe.
**[01:00] Kotaro**
Getting transportation back up means
everything else will be that much faster!
**[01:04] Itou 2**
We're fully aware of that.
**[01:06] Itou 2**
This isn't the kind of thing we
need a civilian perspective on.
**[01:08] Kotaro**
I'm asking you to do this
for the sake of Saga's future!
**[01:11] Itou 2**
Get him out of here, now.
**[01:12] Kotaro**
Please, let Franchouchou perform!
**[01:16] Itou 2**
Governor?
**[01:17] Kotaro**
I swear, this concert will help Saga!
**[01:20] Kotaro**
It's for the sake of Saga!
Saga will be revived!
**[01:22] Kotaro**
You have to fix the Tosu area so people
can make it to the Franchouchou show!
**[01:30] Kotaro**
I'm begging you!
**[01:31] Itou 2**
Okay, that's enough from—
**[01:33] Kotaro**
I'm not talking to you!
**[01:39] Kotaro**
What Saga needs right now is reassurance,
for the heart of every single resident.
**[01:45] Kotaro**
We need something to unify us so
we can all tackle this disaster together...
**[01:49] Kotaro**
Franchouchou can do that.
**[01:52] Kotaro**
Governor, please. Make the call.
**[02:01] Dirty Harry**
Man... What were you doing?

**[02:09] Kotaro**
This is Tatsumi.
**[02:10] Ookoba**
It's Ookoba. I guess I
finally got through...
**[02:12] Kotaro**
*How have things gone on your end?*
**[02:14] Ookoba**
Is that seriously the first
thing you're gonna ask?
**[02:16] Ookoba**
Do you realize the hoops I had to jump
through to score a chopper ride up here?
**[02:24] Ookoba**
It's gonna be rough... Yeah, a charity
concert sounds nice and all,
**[02:28] Ookoba**
but when there are no guarantees that
the show will actually come together,
**[02:33] Ookoba**
it's not easy to convince
people to get on board.
**[02:34] Kotaro**
*I believe you have what it takes.*
**[02:36] Ookoba**
Don't be so sure! I haven't run in
this neck of the woods in a decade.
**[02:40] Kotaro**
*I know you can do it.*
**[02:42] Ookoba**
For the record, you haven't
exactly earned my trust yet.
**[02:48] Ookoba**
I just...
**[02:54] Ookoba**
I intend to do what I can
**[02:56] Ookoba**
and let god sort out the rest.
**[02:58] Kotaro**
*I'm not leaving a damn thing up to god.*
**[03:01] Kotaro**
*Not after all this time.*
**[03:07] Ookoba**
I guess not...

There's only a week until the concert.
**[03:24] Sakura**
Yeah! I'm starting to get
butterflies in my stomach!
**[03:27] Ai**
It's a good kind of tension, though.
**[03:29] Ai**
We've all been really focused
these last few days.
**[03:32] Ai**
Maybe more than ever before.
**[03:34] Junko**
I noticed that, as well!
**[03:36] Sakura**
Me, too! I wonder why?
**[03:38] Saki**
My Tamagotchi, too!
**[03:40] Saki**
Oyajitchi and Memetchi got
mixed into a Memeoyajitchi!
**[03:44] Ai**
Is that... really relevant?
**[03:46] Saki**
I'm tryin' to say we're on a roll!
**[03:54] Yugiri**
I wonder if he's watching us now...
**[03:58] Lily**
Who's that?
**[04:01] Yugiri**
Someone I knew a long time ago.
**[04:07] Lily**
I bet he's rooting for us! Just like Mommy.
**[04:13] Yugiri**
Yes.
**[04:15] Sakura**
Now we've just got to put on a good
performance to cheer Saga up on the day!
**[04:19] Junko**
I hope people will be able to make it.
**[04:22] Saki**
Damn it, if it weren't for this whole mess,
we'd be passing out fliers
**[04:27] Saki**
and talking up the show on the radio...
**[04:30] Saki**
Huh.
**[04:31] Saki**
What day is it today?
**[04:33] Sakura**
The day? Uh...
**[04:35] Junko**
Come to think of it, we've been paying more
attention to the dates than what day it is.
**[04:40] Sakura**
I think it's Friday, maybe?
**[04:42] Saki**
Dude! That's the day we're on air!
**[04:45] Saki**
Crap, crap, crap, I've gotta get ready fast!
**[04:47] Sakura**
But with everything going on...
**[04:50] Saki**
That's why I wanna do it!
**[04:52] Saki**
'Sides, we already missed a session!
**[04:54] Ai**
No one can blame you for that.
It was a literal disaster situation.
**[04:58] Sakura**
Are you seriously gonna go?
**[05:00] Saki**
Damn right. If we don't go,
then Saga's gonna lose itself.

This actually works out! Since you're here,
why don't you go on the air?

***SIGN*** FM Saga

**[05:24] Producer**
Yeah! We're all set to broadcast, but none
of our regular personalities can make it in...
**[05:28] Producer**
So we've been wondering what we could
do other than just read the news.
**[05:31] Producer**
Honestly, there's no way to know how
many people are even listening, but...
**[05:35] Ai**
We don't mind!
**[05:36] Sakura**
Thank you so much!
**[05:37] Saki**
Thanks!

*Good evening! We're Franchouchou!*
**[05:54] Maimai**
Diiing!
**[05:56] Maimai**
Hey, Maimai's Franchouchou
sense is tingling.
**[05:56] Maimai**
Crank that radio up! Please! Radio! Louder!
**[05:59] Maimai**
That's what I'd expect from a
mega-fan and former member.
**[06:02] Saki**
*Well, to all the folks in Saga...*
**[06:06] Saki**
Everybody, I think it's pretty rough
out there for you all right now.
**[06:11] Saki**
And... I dunno how you're
hearing me right now,
**[06:16] Saki**
but I bet you've all got your worries,
or might be feeling lonely...
**[06:20] Saki**
Hell, you might just be pissed off
about everything that's happened.
**[06:26] Saki**
But... I dunno how to put this...
**[06:29] Saki**
* Right now, a lot of people are*
* doing everything they can,*
**[06:32] Saki**
*in all sorts of different ways, to help.*
**[06:35] Saki**
* It was the same way for*
* the shelter we stayed at.*
**[06:38] Saki**
* And that's how you sorta get involved...*
* and connect to people, I guess.*
**[06:43] Saki**
*I dunno if I'm getting my point across,*
**[06:46] Saki**
* but I think that kinda thing*
* is a really big deal.*
**[06:51] Saki**
* So, all of us in Franchouchou have thought*
* about what we can do to help...*
**[06:57] Saki**
All seven of us have
talked this over, and...
**[07:00] Saki**
In the end, we wanna connect to
you all by singing and dancing.
**[07:05] Saki**
We want to cheer you on!
**[07:08] Saki**
That's why Franchouchou is going
to be putting on a concert.
**[07:12] Saki**
*March 8th. At the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium!*
**[07:17] Saki**
* A year ago, we seriously*
* blew it at that same venue.*
**[07:22] Saki**
*We drew a tiny crowd... panicked...*
**[07:24] Saki**
*It was a real mess.*
**[07:27] Saki**
*And, just like last time...*
**[07:30] Saki**
* Nah, I think it's gonna be even*
* harder to pull off than last time.*
**[07:35] Saki**
But... all the same, we're going
to put on the best show ever!
**[07:40] Saki**
I know there are people who are gonna think
that's crazy, with everything going on...
**[07:44] Saki**
But if we... If by singing, we can...
**[07:49] Saki**
I dunno if we'll really be able to
help people feel better, but...
**[07:53] Saki**
We're gonna be on stage, hoping we can
make you smile, even just a little!
**[07:58] Saki**
Because that's what being idols means to us!

I'm coming to you from the Ekimae
Fudosan Stadium in Saga,

where the damage caused by
flooding is still visible.
**[11:31] Newcaster**
A massive crowd is gathering for a charity
concert by the idol group Franchouchou!
**[11:37] Newcaster**
We at NBK Fukuoka caught up with
them at a shelter a week ago,
**[11:42] Newcaster**
and the response from our
viewers was massive!
**[11:45] Newcaster**
Not only that, but newspapers with
circulation throughout the country
**[11:48] Newcaster**
have been publishing ads for the show,
raising the event's profile even higher.

It looks like the arena still isn't
ready for the show just yet.

In spite of that, you can see how many
have assembled here today to support Saga!

With the notoriety brought from
national exposure in five big papers,
