***SIGN*** Kyushu Saga International Airport
**[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**
A cop can't be seen soliciting—
***SIGN*** YOU SUC
***SIGN*** YOU'LL SUCCEED
**[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!
**[13:38] Ai**
You were too late.

**[14:05] Yugiri**
Kotaro-han's touch with cosmetics
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.
**[15:18] Crowd**
Who's the opening act again?
**[15:20] Crowd**
You know, *them*. The regional
idols who bombed at the EFS.
**[15:24] Crowd**
Oh, I saw that online!
Are they gonna be able to manage?
**[15:28] Death Metal Dude 2**
This is their first big show in a while...
**[15:31] Death Metal Dude 2**
You think they'll be okay?
**[15:33] Death Metal Dude 1**
And in enemy territory, too...
**[15:39] Ai**
You were never really worried
about my identity, were you?
**[15:44] ---**
**[16:24] DMD2**
This rocks!
**[16:25] DMD1**
The death metal girls are back!
**[16:30] Kotaro**
Smash it!
**[16:31] [SONG] Song**
There's no doubt anymore in my chest
**[16:34] [SONG] Song**
Yes!
**[16:34] [SONG] Song**
No end in sight
**[16:35] [SONG] Song**
None!
**[16:35] [SONG] Song**
So do it again!
**[16:36] [SONG] Song**
It's a tall order to survive in this world
**[16:38] [SONG] Song**
You better keep your eyes in
front or that's game over
**[16:41] [SONG] Song**
Why! This is my way, even if you fall apart
**[16:43] [SONG] Song**
Your whole body will wake
up again, just like this
**[16:45] [SONG] Song**
Ready?
**[16:45] [SONG] Song**
One (One)
**[16:46] [SONG] Song**
Two (Two)
**[16:46] [SONG] Song**
Reach those hands out
**[16:47] [SONG] Song**
Ready?
**[16:47] [SONG] Song**
Fran (Fran)
**[16:48] [SONG] Song**
Chou (Chou)
**[16:48] [SONG] Song**
Now get down until you fall apart again
**[16:53] [SONG] Song**
The feelings roaring from inside (Don't Stop)
**[16:58] [SONG] Song**
Will now ring out, trembling with
soul (We can make it through)
**[17:02] Song**
With your dream in front of you
**[17:03] [SONG] Song**
Even if you lose hope, life goes on
**[17:05] [SONG] Song**
If fate holds you back, here's where you break out
**[17:07] [SONG] Song**
If logic's in the way right now,
you need to smash on through!
**[17:11] [SONG] Song**
The things you'll regret not doing (Don't stop)
**[17:16] [SONG] Song**
The feelings you can't seem
to let go of (We are ready)
**[17:20] [SONG] Song**
Until you make them yours
**[17:21] Song**
Emotions going beyond their limits
**[17:23] Song**
Even gonna smash through my old self
**[17:25] [SONG] Song**
Take the passion that's surging forth
**[17:28] Song**
And let it turn into a roar!
**[17:29] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:31] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:32] [SONG] Song**
Let's take it and hold it high for all to see!
**[17:34] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:35] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:36] [SONG] Song**
Just do it, until the day
you finally to grab on
**[17:38] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:40] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:41] [SONG] Song**
Let's take it and hold it high for all to see!
**[17:43] [SONG] Song**
Yeah! To be brave
**[17:44] [SONG] Song**
The flame in your heart blazes
**[17:45] [SONG] Song**
Just do it, survive until
you manage to grab on!
**[18:39] Ai**
Dummy, it doesn't work that way!
**[18:41] Junko**
Now that you mention it...
**[18:45] Sakura**
Ai-chan! Junko-chan!
**[18:48] Junko**
We're okay.
**[18:50] Ai**
Because we're zombies.
**[18:55] Kotaro**
* As long as you shine brightly,*
* people around you will follow!*
**[19:20] Death Metal Dudes**
Here we go again!
**[19:36] [SONG] Song**
When were my dreams filled
with that yearning?
**[19:40] [SONG] Song**
Was it all just a story hidden in my heart?
**[19:43] [SONG] Song**
It's time to start changing for the better!
**[19:45] [SONG] Song**
Dancing these steps that
are never gonna end!
**[19:46] [SONG] Song**
And right before you run out of energy
**[19:48] [SONG] Song**
You wanna sketch out the best future you can
**[19:53] [SONG] Song**
But I'm a little scared...
**[19:58] [SONG] Song**
That can't be true, and you know it!
**[20:00] [SONG] Song**
You'll be okay, so just...
**[20:03] [SONG] Song**
Fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight, fight, fight!
**[20:07] [SONG] Song**
Awaken now dreamer! Let your heart dance!
**[20:10] [SONG] Song**
And it's okay...
**[20:11] [SONG] Song**
...even if it's a bit crazy
**[20:13] [SONG] Song**
Awaken now dreamer!
You want that excitement!
**[20:17] [SONG] Song**
The feeling...
**[20:17] [SONG] Song**
...of wanting to do more
**[20:19] [SONG] Song**
Gets bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger...
**[20:39] Yui**
How exactly do those special effects work?
**[20:47] [SONG] Song**
Unlimited dreaming!
**[20:52] [SONG] Song**
We're never giving up!
**[20:55] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! You just have to want it
**[20:58] [SONG] Song**
A miracle that you're longing to feel!
**[21:01] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! You just wish for it
**[21:04] [SONG] Song**
Excitement until you hit the limit
and want more, more, more, and more!
**[21:09] [SONG] Song**
Aim for it! Reach for it!
The greatest! The highest!
**[21:12] [SONG] Song**
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.
**[21:47] Ai**
Hey—
**[21:49] Junko**
Number Three is a member of Franchouchou.
**[21:52] Junko**
She isn't going anywhere!
**[22:08] Yui**
I guess you've been rejected.

**[22:45] Both**
Right?
**[22:46] Ai**
While I was flying solo,
**[22:48] Ai**
I noticed a few things about Franchouchou
by looking in from the outside.
**[22:52] Ai**
That'll be a good place to start
for what to do, going forward.
**[22:55] Junko**
That should be interesting.
I'd love to hear all about it.
