[00:00] Sakura
    Previously on Zombie Land Saga Revenge*,
[00:02] Sakura
    Iron Frill is coming to our town!
    There's a new venue for them to break in now!
[00:05] Sakura
    That being the case, we ended up as the*
    opening for Iron Frill's concert at the Saga Arena!
[00:10] Sakura
    But apparently Kotaro-san wants to avoid the
    resemblance to their legendary original center
[00:12] Sakura
    from being too obvious
    and is keeping Ai-chan off stage!
[00:15] Sakura
    After all this time...?
[00:16] Sakura
    Ai-chan's been doing solo stuff while
    we've been getting ready for the show,
[00:18] Sakura
    with members of Franchouchou operating
    separately for the first time ever!
[00:20] Sakura
    We're nervous and panicky, but if nothing
    else, we can't mess up again like we did at the EFS!
[00:24] Sakura
    But then the leader
    of Iron Frill, Shiori-san,
[00:26] Sakura
    showed up and tried to recruit Ai-chan?!
[00:28] Sakura
    There's absolutely no way
    we can let that happen!
[00:42] (Flashback) Shiori
    Number Three of Franchouchou!
    You should join Iron Frill!
[00:48] Sakura
    It's gonna be okay! Ai-chan wouldn't
    ditch us to join Iron Frill.
[00:53] Sakura
    I mean, she's part of Franchouchou
    and a zombie... She's one of us.
[01:00] Junko
    I'm sure you're right.
[01:05] Junko
    She'd probably scold me for
    getting nervous like this.
[01:09] Sakura
    Th-That's right! I bet she'd be so mad!
[01:13] Sakura
    She'd be all, "Is that really what you
    should be worried about right now?"
[01:18] Junko
    Let's keep what we saw a secret.
[01:22] Junko
    It's almost time for the
    Saga Arena show, after all.
[01:26] Sakura
    Yeah! Let's do our best!
[01:32] ---
    Even if we have nothing else,
    we still have the future.
[01:35] ---
    A lowest point? Starting over from zero?
    That's just part of the saga.
[01:38] ---
    Even if we burn out in the process,
    we'll make it come true!
[01:40] ---
    This is where our revenge begins!

[03:11] Saki
    That was sweet, Tae!
    That's the impact we need!
[03:13] Saki
    We're gonna blow the doors off Saga Arena!
[03:19] Saki
    Junko?
[03:20] Saki
    Hey! Junko!
[03:23] Saki
    You okay, girl?
[03:32] Saki
    What's wrong? Do we need more impact?
[03:35] Lily
    Maybe you should get some rest.
[03:39] Junko
    I'm all right!
[03:40] Junko
    Sorry. I think I'll just go get some fresh air.
[03:50] Saki
    Going for a walk, huh?
[03:52] Saki
    It's so close to showtime,
     but she's been really out of it lately.
[03:57] Lily
    Junko-chan's probably got it rough.
[03:59] Lily
    She's had a scary look on her face ever
    since Ai-chan started doing solo stuff.
[04:04] Saki
    We better hold the fort down for her, then!
[04:06] Saki
    All right, let's crank this
    impact up as high as possible!
[04:09] ---
    Yeah!
[04:10] Sakura
    Junko-chan must still be
    worried about Ai-chan...
[04:14] Sakura
    What am I gonna do?
[04:17] Sakura
    Maybe I could ask Ai-chan...
[04:20] Sakura
    Not this time! Seriously,
    what am I gonna do?!
[04:27] Sakura
    Wow, what a feast!
[04:30] Yugiri
    One of the customers from the bar
    brought some ingredients in last night.
[04:35] Sakura
    It's all Junko-chan's favorites, too.
[04:38] Sakura
    And beef!
[04:40] Yugiri
    This is for Ai-han's lunch.
[04:43] Sakura
    I guess Ai-chan is recording
    solo tonight, too...
[04:49] Yugiri
    They say you can't wage
    war on an empty stomach,
[04:53] Yugiri
    and without physical strength
    the mind tends to shut down.
[04:57] Yugiri
    Our smiles are what everything else
    we have is built on, right?
[05:02] Sakura
    Let me help, too!
[05:04] Yugiri
    Could you set everything out, then?
[05:07] Yugiri
    Make sure to put some rice
    in the lunch box, too.
[05:10] Sakura
    Yeah!
[05:11] Sakura
    Now, where's that rice scoop...
[05:16] Stage-hands
    All right, looking good!
[05:17] Stage-hands
    Here we go.
[05:18] Stage-hands
    I'm passing by underneath!
[05:19] Stage-hands
    Right!
[05:21] Makoto
    It's totally spotless!
[05:24] Yui
    Once everyone's ready,
    we'll go over the set.
[05:31] Shiori
    This is going to be the best show possible.
[05:33] Shiori
    To show her how strong we are.
[05:37] Yui
    Shiori, can we talk?
[05:40] Shiori
    Yui?
[05:41] Yui
    I heard you were trying to recruit
    a new member on your own...
[05:46] Yui
    From those local Saga idols,
    whatever they're called.
[05:49] Shiori
    Yes, that's right.
[05:52] Shiori
    She might be working in obscurity out here,
    but her skills are serious.
[05:55] Shiori
    By gaining members with new talent,
    we'll be even stronger.
[06:00] Shiori
    Always evolving to become the strongest.
     That's Iron Frill.
[06:05] Yui
    You're the one I'm worried about, though.
[06:09] Shiori
    Me?
[06:10] Yui
    That local idol looks just like her, right?
[06:14] Yui
    Just like Ai Mizuno-san.
[06:19] Yui
    The incomparable legend,
    the eternal center.
[06:22] Yui
    A name Iron Frill will never forget.
[06:26] Yui
    I'm willing to admit
    she was a really big deal,
[06:29] Yui
    but she's in the past.
[06:34] Shiori
    I'm interested in her
    because of her potential.
[06:38] Shiori
    There's nothing else to it.
[06:41] Shiori
    Okay, girls. Let's run through the set!
[06:43] Iron Frill
    Okay!
[06:53] Junko
    Where does Ai-san truly belong?
[06:57] Ai
    Junko?
[06:59] Ai
    What're you doing out here?
[07:01] Ai
    What about practice?
[07:08] Junko
    Excuse me...
[07:15] Ai
    Did something happen?
[07:16] Junko
    No... I was just taking a break.
[07:19] Junko
    It's all right.
[07:21] Ai
    Did you get in a fight with the others?
[07:23] Junko
    It's really nothing.
[07:25] Junko
    You have another job
    coming up, right, Ai-san?
[07:28] Junko
    Don't worry about us. Just focus on that.
[07:30] Ai
    Don't try to brush me off. What happened?
[07:36] Junko
    Ai-san... did you enjoy being in
    Iron Frill more than Franchouchou?
[07:43] Ai
    What are you talking about?
[07:45] Ai
    You're only going to worry
    the others at this rate.
[07:48] Ai
    You realize what a critical time
    this is for Franchouchou, right?
[07:51] Ai
    Do you want a repeat of
    what happened at the EFS?
[07:58] Junko
    You... didn't say no, did you?
[08:11] Sakura
    Ai-chan! Welcome home.
[08:13] Sakura
    Did you see Junko-chan out there?
    Dinner's almost... ready...
[08:21] Sakura
    Huh? Did she... not hear me?
[08:28] Sakura
    Sure, that must be it...
[08:46] Junko
    Ai, you stupid jerk!
[08:52] Dirty Harry
    Hey, what's all this? What's up, youngster?
[08:55] Dirty Harry
    You heartbroken?
    Got them unrequited feelings?
[08:58] Dirty Harry
    I get that, I do.
[09:00] Dirty Harry
    Love can seriously be a real jerk.
[09:04] Dirty Harry
    But we just keep falling into it, don't we?
[09:08] Dirty Harry
    You need a shoulder to cry
    on through the night?
[09:09] Dirty Harry
    Oh, wait, you're underage! That's no good!
[09:13] Dirty Harry

[09:48] Ai
    I know, I know.
[10:10] Kotaro
    What are you doing?
[10:12] Junko
    Uh, I...
[10:14] Kotaro
    Is everything ready for the show?
[10:21] Junko
    I think Ai-san might leave the group!
[10:25] Junko
    Iron Frill offered to recruit her...
[10:28] Junko
    They said Franchouchou wasn't
    good enough for her...
[10:32] Junko
    I can't imagine Franchouchou
    without Ai-san...
[10:37] Junko
    But when I think about how talented she is—
[10:42] Kotaro
    Franchouchou isn't good enough for Ai?
[10:46] Kotaro
    Don't make this about her.
[10:48] Kotaro
    What about you?
[10:50] Kotaro
    You think it's perfectly fine if a member
    of your group gives up on you and bails?
[10:54] Kotaro
    You think you're not worth more than that?
[10:56] Kotaro
    Are you willing to accept that yourself?
[11:02] Kotaro
    Because that's what you're saying!
[11:04] Kotaro
    That you don't have any appeal yourself!
[11:06] Kotaro
    That you can't stop a friend from leaving!
[11:09] Kotaro
    You're admitting it and not
    even trying to stop her!
[11:12] Kotaro
    Who the hell is going to follow someone
    who's lost sight of their own shine
[11:16] Kotaro
    and doesn't even believe
    they're worth standing by?!
[11:23] Kotaro
    Smash it.
[11:25] Kotaro
    This axe of mine has been fighting
    by my side my whole life.
[11:30] Kotaro
    With every roar it lets loose,
    my soul is stirred.
[11:34] Kotaro
    As long as it can keep making music,
     I can keep moving forward.
[11:38] Kotaro
    Through all the obstacles
    that stand in the way...
[11:40] Kotaro
    The logic, the limits,
[11:41] Kotaro
    turning defeat into victory!
    Turning impossibilities into miracles!
[11:46] Kotaro
    And, through it all, I was forged into
    the legendary producer Kotaro Tatsumi!
[11:55] Junko
    Weren't you really depressed
    just the other day...?
[11:59] Kotaro
    And this axe is inside of your soul, too!
[12:05] Kotaro
    So smash through!
[12:06] Kotaro
    Smash through your unglamorous self!
    Through your excuses for giving up!
[12:10] Kotaro
    All the limitations you've set for yourself!
    If there's something you really want...
[12:13] Kotaro
    Destroy everything in the way and take it!
[12:19] Kotaro
    Zombie or not, as long as you shine brightly,
     people around you will follow!
[12:25] Kotaro
    So smash through, Junko Konno!
[12:38] Sakura
    Junko-chan?
[12:39] Saki
    Junko!
[12:40] Lily
    You're late! I don't know if
    Tae-chan can hold on much longer!
[12:49] Junko
    It's time to eat.
[13:01] Junko
    I know what we need to do at Saga Arena.
[13:11] Everyone else
    Time to eat!
[13:13] Yugiri
    Junko-han, have a bit of this.
[13:15] Saki
    Good stuff!

    really is something else.
[14:10] Lily
    I wonder what he does different.
[14:14] Saki
    We just can't seem to get
    that "alive" feel...
[14:19] Sakura
    No!
[14:20] Sakura
    Tae-chan, not yet!
[14:23] Lily
    Tae-chan, stop it!
[14:25] Kotaro
    That should do it.
[14:26] Kotaro
    Now get out there and smash hard!
[14:28] Junko
    Right!
[14:36] Shiori
    What do you mean you're
    not going on stage today?!
[14:40] Ai
    It's just the way our plans worked out.
[14:42] Ai
    I thought you should know.
[14:44] Shiori
    We came here to give the
    best performance possible!
[14:48] Shiori
    But... Franchouchou without you
    is just a group of nobodies!
[14:54] Ai
    You really shouldn't
    underestimate Franchouchou.
[14:57] Ai
    They've been growing this whole time.
[15:00] Ai
    Even I need to be careful if I don't
    want them to leave me behind.
[15:04] Ai
    Watch their performance.
    I'm sure you'll understand.
[15:10] Shiori
    I'm looking forward to it, then.

    Who's the opening act again?
[15:20] Crowd
    You know, them. The regional
    idols who bombed at the EFS.

    Oh, I saw that online!
    Are they gonna be able to manage?

    There's not a thing to fear,
    not a single one!
[21:15] [SONG] Song
    Let it reach all the way out,
    our passionate feelings!
[21:19] [SONG] Song
    With our souls singing free!
[21:21] [SONG] Song
    Cut in!
[21:33] Shiori
    That was a great performance.
[21:36] Shiori
    To be honest, I didn't expect
    anything on that level.
[21:41] Shiori
    But now you're going to see
    what the best look like.
[21:43] Shiori
    You'll be able to tell
    where you really belong.

    While I was flying solo,

    That'll be a good place to start
