**[00:01] Sakura**
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**
Let's trust her and wait.
**[10:19] Saki**
Damn, I'm all sweaty.
**[10:23] Saki**
Gonna go wash off again.
***SIGN*** No Unauthorized Access Absolutely None No Contact Allowed Stay Out
**[10:28] Sakura**
You can keep asking me,
but my answer won't change.
**[10:30] Saki**
You were seriously fired up for this!
**[10:32] Sakura**
Something must've been wrong with me, then.
**[10:35] Sakura**
Just forget about it.
**[10:37] Saki**
You think I can do that?!
**[10:38] Saki**
You wanna die?!
**[10:39] Sakura**
Arguing isn't going to make a difference.
**[10:41] Sakura**
I have nothing else to say.
**[10:44] Sakura**
You can yell at me all you want.
**[10:46] Saki**
Damn it, you stupid little—
**[10:54] Saki**
Stop that.
**[10:56] Saki**
Enough already!
**[11:02] Saki**
Damn it! Damn it!
**[11:07] Junko**
I think I'll go listen to the sound
of waves in a seashell.
**[11:13] Junko**
Sakura-san...
**[11:14] Sakura**
If you have something to say,
please get on with it.
**[11:17] Junko**
Um... I...
**[11:25] Lily**
Huh? The stars are calling me!
**[11:29] Lily**
I'm gonna go look at the sky!
**[11:32] Lily**
Sakura-chan... you still don't remember me?
**[11:36] Sakura**
How old are you?
**[11:38] Lily**
I'm twelve years old forever!
**[11:40] Lily**
Magically!
**[11:41] Sakura**
It must be nice. Since you're cute.
**[11:44] Sakura**
Like that star you were wearing.
**[11:46] Lily**
That's right!
**[11:47] Lily**
Before you said you thought that
star and my smile were cute!
**[11:52] Lily**
I really loved it when
you were doing idol stuff!
**[11:55] Lily**
And I think you're really cute!
**[11:59] Sakura**
Well?
**[12:00] Sakura**
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.
**[12:13] Sakura**
Because I don't have what it takes!
**[12:19] Sakura**
How many times do I have to say it?
**[12:22] Sakura**
I am not going to be an idol!
**[12:33] Yugiri**
I suppose it's time to get the room ready.
**[12:53] Yugiri**
Sakura-han...
**[12:56] Yugiri**
The greatest courtesan
of the city is entering.
**[13:04] Yugiri**
Huh? She's gone.

Where the hell has that idiot gone?
**[13:25] Yugiri**
This is troubling...
**[13:26] Lily**
What was the pup doing?!
**[13:29] Junko**
Romero-chan couldn't have known
what was going on with Sakura-san.
**[13:35] Kotaro**
Wh-What?! Wh-Wh-Why's
everyone up to greet me?!
**[13:44] Sakura**
* They all might think otherwise,*
* but this is for the best.*
**[13:48] Sakura**
*If I was around, it'd just ruin everything.*
***SIGN*** Snow White: Sakura Minamoto
**[13:53] Sakura**
* 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**
*But the day of the show...*
**[14:12] Sakura**
* I got sick despite having*
* my shots, and missed the play.*
**[14:19] Sakura**
*Bad memories.*
***SIGN*** Relay Team: Sakura Minamoto
**[14:22] Sakura**
* When I was in fourth grade, I was picked*
* to be on the relay team for our field day.*
***SIGN*** Minamoto
**[14:27] Sakura**
* I trained until late every night,*
* until I had the best time in our school.*
**[14:33] Sakura**
*But the day of the race...*
**[14:36] Sakura**
* I managed to pull a muscle during*
* the opening ceremony, and had to forfeit.*
***SIGN*** Relay Team - Sakura Minamoto
**[14:43] Sakura**
*I kept training so I could make a comeback...*
**[14:47] Sakura**
* And was on the relay team*

***SIGN*** Relay Team: Sakura Minamoto
**[14:51] Sakura**
* But... every time, I would pull a*
* muscle during the opening ceremony.*
**[14:57] Sakura**
*More bad memories.*
**[14:59] 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.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Friend**
It seems like such a waste
for you to go straight home.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Friend**
I mean, you're really good
at sports and other physical stuff!
**[16:16] (Flashback) Sakura**
I told you, I'm not gonna bother anymore.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Sakura**
Even if I try, it's a waste of time.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Sakura**
The harder I try, the worse things turn out.
**[16:24] (Flashback) Sakura**
I just don't have what it takes.
**[16:26] (Flashback) Sakura**
I'd be stupid to keep
trying to just fail again.
***SIGN*** Q: How do you work so hard?
**[16:38] Ai**
* I guess it's because I don't think*
* mistakes or failures are a bad thing.*
***SIGN*** Because I don't think mistakes or failures are a bad thing

**[17:18] Sakura**
Hey, I did try.
**[17:21] Sakura**
And when I was sure it was going to
work out this time, I got into an accident...
**[17:26] Sakura**
And now I'm a freaking zombie.
**[17:29] Sakura**
How little luck can one person have?
**[17:32] Cop**
Hey, what's got you out so late?
**[17:35] Cop**
You wanna get arrested?
**[17:36] Cop**
You want me to arrest you, huh?
**[17:37] Cop**
You run away from home?
**[17:38] Cop**
Fight with the boyfriend?
**[17:40] Cop**
Teenage angst?
**[17:41] Sakura**
I don't care anymore.
**[17:43] Cop**
Well, for now, come with me to the...
**[17:52] Cop**
Another one!
**[18:02] Kotaro**
This isn't where you belong right now,
**[18:06] Kotaro**

**[18:13] Sakura**
Who're you?
**[18:13] Kotaro**
I'm Kotaro Tatsumi, damn it!
***SIGN*** Genkai Quasi-National Park Kagamiyama Observatory
**[18:20] Sakura**
Why exactly did you bring me out here?
**[18:24] Kotaro**
That's Nijinomatsubara Forest.
**[18:25] Sakura**
I know.
**[18:27] Sakura**
It's too dark to see anything, though.
**[18:31] Kotaro**
That's you right now.
**[18:34] Kotaro**
But there are points of light all around you.
**[18:37] Kotaro**
Even in Saga, there's a person
for every one of the lights you see.
**[18:41] Sakura**
What are you getting at, exactly?
**[18:43] Kotaro**
There are people among those lights
waiting for Nijinomatsubara to shine...
**[18:46] Kotaro**
Waiting for you to shine, as an idol.
**[18:51] Kotaro**
I mean, there's gotta be two or three.
**[18:53] Sakura**
Look, just do your show without me.
**[18:56] Sakura**
I'm sure it'll be better if I'm not there.
**[19:00] Sakura**
I just don't have what it takes.
**[19:07] Kotaro**
You seriously don't want to be an idol?
**[19:11] Kotaro**
Can you tell me that you honestly
don't feel that way, at all?
**[19:15] Sakura**
I mean...
**[19:25] Sakura**
*I want to be like Ai-chan.*
**[19:28] Sakura**
*I want to be strong like her!*
**[19:32] (Flashback) Ai**
Come on everybody! Here we go!
**[19:36] (Flashback) Sakura**
I wonder if I'll be able to smile
as dazzlingly as that?

*One more time... I'll try one more time!*
**[19:47] Sakura**
*I can't be scared of trying my best!*
**[19:57] Sakura**
And this is what happened.
**[20:01] Sakura**
I should've known that
nothing I try will work...
**[20:03] Sakura**
and that the right choice is to give up.
**[20:07] Sakura**
But I got my hopes up, like an idiot,
about being an idol...
**[20:10] Sakura**
And when I rushed out earlier than usual,
I got hit by a truck and died.
**[20:15] Sakura**
This is just who I am.
**[20:17] Kotaro**
But you came back to life.
As an idol who can save Saga.
**[20:21] Sakura**
Save Saga? As an idol?!
**[20:24] Sakura**
Why me?
**[20:25] Sakura**
I didn't ask to become a zombie!
**[20:27] Kotaro**
A time will come when you'll understand.
**[20:30] Sakura**
There's no way that's true!
**[20:31] Sakura**
I'm the girl who tried,
and died for her efforts!
**[20:33] Sakura**
Who else has luck that bad?!
**[20:36] Sakura**
This idol stuff and saving Saga...
You can all do it just fine without me!
**[20:46] Sakura**
Please just... don't drag me into this.
**[20:51] Kotaro**
All right. I see.
**[20:53] Kotaro**
Then go wherever you want!
**[20:55] Kotaro**
If that's the limit to how you feel,
you can spend your life feeling this way!
**[21:00] Kotaro**
Even if your life's already over!
**[21:06] Sakura**
You don't have to rub it in...
I know I'm stuck this way.
**[21:13] Sakura**
I should've never come back.
**[21:17] Kotaro**
Yeah, you thought I was done, huh?
**[21:19] Kotaro**
But I'm not gonna go along with your
negative spiral that easy, moron!
**[21:23] Sakura**
Enough already!
**[21:24] Sakura**
You don't know anything about me!
**[21:27] Sakura**
You've never even died—
**[21:28] Kotaro**
I have what it takes!
**[21:30] Kotaro**
Doesn't matter if you don't,
as long as I do have what it takes!
**[21:34] Kotaro**
And I've got something... big...
and, like... impressive!
**[21:37] Kotaro**
I've got this real big and
impressive... thing!
**[21:40] Kotaro**
Listen to me, Sakura!
**[21:42] Kotaro**
I'm telling you that I will
