[00:00] MS
    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

[14:45] TK
    Everyone ready?
[14:51] TK
    From this moment on, you're a guerrilla
    squadron prowling the concrete jungle.
[14:56] TK
    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!
[15:17] TK
    Okay, go!
[15:21] TK
    Go.
[15:28] MS
    Ai-chan... Junko-chan...
[15:31] NS
    Sakura.
[15:36] MS
    We'll have to go on without them, for now.
[15:40] NS
    Okay, let's put that practice to use.
[15:55] NS
    Uh, we're Franchouchou!

[20:20] Cops

[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!

[21:07] Cop

[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?
