    Previously on Zombie Land Saga!
[00:02] Sakura
    Franchouchou is set to do a show with
    five hundred people in the audience!
[00:05] Sakura
    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!

[00:44] Intro
    Even if we're dead, we want to
    make our dreams come true...
[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.

[07:25] Sakura
    I really...
[07:28] Sakura
    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:
    Hizen's Highway Dream Project"?
[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.
[09:55] Ai

    Magically!
[11:41] Sakura
    It must be nice. Since you're cute.

    Like that star you were wearing.
[11:46] Lily
    That's right!

    Well?

    Do I look cute wearing this?
[12:03] Lily
    That's not where it goes.
[12:05] Sakura
    If you're cute, it'll look cute
    no matter where you put it.
[12:08] Sakura
    But the more cute I try to be,
     the less cute I am.

    The school play we were
    doing in third grade...
[13:56] Sakura
    I was picked to be the star.
[13:59] Sakura
    It was a title that was pretty
    tough for a grade schooler,
[14:02] Sakura
    but I practiced until late every night
[14:05] Sakura
    until I could recite the entire
    thing with no mistakes.
[14:10] Sakura

    The first year of middle school...
[15:01] Sakura
    That summer, I started focusing
    on my high school entrance exams.
[15:05] Sakura
    I wanted to wipe away all the
    misfortune my life had been full of,
[15:08] Sakura
    so I tried to get into the best
    school in the prefecture...
[15:11] Sakura
    I didn't keep up with the music, TV shows,
[15:15] Sakura
    friends, and other things that I loved.
SIGN    Where There's A Will, There's A Way!
[15:18] Sakura
    I dedicated my entire middle
    school life to studying.
[15:23] Sakura
    And as a result, I got an A rating
    on the mock exam before the real deal!
[15:28] Sakura
    And then, on the day of the actual exam...
[15:31] Sakura
    While I was on my way from the hotel I
    was staying at to be close to the exam location,
[15:36] Sakura
    I ran into multiple old
    ladies who were in trouble.
[15:43] Sakura
    I just made it in time
    for the start of the exam,
[15:45] Sakura
    but I was in a panic as I took
    the test and kept making mistakes.
[15:49] Sakura
    I didn't make it into my school of choice...
[15:53] Sakura
    Bad memories.
[15:57] Sakura
    All I can remember is bad stuff.
[15:59] Sakura
    They're being ridiculous.
[16:01] Sakura
    Even if she is the real Ai Mizuno...
[16:05] Sakura
    There's no way I could be an idol.

    I told you, I'm not gonna bother anymore.
