[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.
[00:37] ---
    Even if we burn out in the
    process, we'll make it come true!
[00:39] ---
    This is where our revenge begins!

[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!
SIGN    Article by Arata Ookoba
[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.

    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.

    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.

    How are we gonna pay back the debt, then?

    Let's get jobs!

    If we can't do idol stuff right now, let's
    think of ways to make money until we can!

    Will I be able to help, too?

    Of course.

    We should do it.

    Hold—

    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.

    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,

    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.
