**[00:00] Sakura**
*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.
