[00:01] ---
    Last time on Zombie Land Saga!
SIGN    The Mibu Wolves
[00:03] ---
    Since our name and roles were all
     kinda vague, we decided to talk it over!
[00:07] ---
    Saki-chan is now our leader and the name
     of the group is Franchouchou!
[00:10] ---
    The name's a little zombie-ish,
    and cute to boot!
[00:12] ---
    Our first act after deciding our name was,
     of all things, a guerrilla show!
[00:15] ---
    It was the first time we've
    done anything idol-ish,
[00:17] ---
    but it made it pretty clear that we've
    still got a long, long way to go!
[00:20] ---
    Good grief!
[00:21] ---
    We'll have to practice singing
    and dancing a whole bunch more!
[00:24] ---
    You can do it, me! We can
    do it, Franchouchou!
[00:30] Kotaro
    Hey, good morning!
[00:33] Kotaro
    What's all this? You're looking kinda down!
[00:36] Kotaro
    Good morning!
[00:38] Sakura
    Good morning...
[00:42] Kotaro
    All right, girls.
[00:43] Kotaro
    Looks like you're taking your
    lessons pretty seriously.
[00:47] Kotaro
    Have you gotten used
    to your group's name yet?
[00:49] Kotaro
    Franchoo-choo!
[00:51] Sakura
    That's not it! It's Franchouchou!
[00:53] Kotaro
    Flourochlorochouchou!
[00:55] Sakura
    Franchou—
[00:55] Kotaro
    Franchouchou! Yes, I know!
[00:57] Kotaro
    Ain't it cute?
[00:59] Kotaro
    Yes! Oh-so cute!
[01:01] Kotaro
    Okay, Franchouchou.
[01:02] Kotaro
    It was painfully clear
    what a bunch of brain-dead
[01:04] Kotaro
    zombie idols you are with that
    guerrilla show last month,
[01:07] Kotaro
    but you seem to have grown a bit since then.
[01:10] Kotaro
    This is where the real game begins.
[01:13] Kotaro
    Right, Saki?
[01:14] Saki
    Yeah, I guess.
[01:15] Kotaro
    You bet it is!
[01:17] Kotaro
    What about you, Lily?
[01:19] Lily
    I-I'll—
[01:20] Kotaro
    Great!
[01:21] Kotaro
    Now, given that, what's your next mo—
[01:24] Kotaro
    Answer, Sakura!
[01:26] Sakura
    I... dunno?
[01:28] Sakura
    Oh, maybe recording a CD of
    our song and selling it?
[01:31] Kotaro
    Oh, very nice! That's a pretty good idea.
[01:34] Kotaro
    Well, let's just call a recording studio and...
    Yeah, that's not gonna happen, dumbass!
[01:39] Kotaro
    How the hell's that gonna happen?!
[01:41] Kotaro
    Where's the money gonna come from?!
[01:43] Kotaro
    I haven't earned a single yen on you guys
    and your raggedy-ass performances so far,
[01:48] Kotaro
    and do you realize how
    much they've cost me?!
[01:50] Kotaro
    Even gas for the van isn't free,
    y'know, you stupid zombie!
[01:58] Kotaro
    That being the case, our budget has run dry.
[02:01] Saki
    What the hell do we do, then?!
[02:04] Kotaro
    Well, when there's no money,
    you earn more. Duh.
SIGN    "Business"
[02:08] Sakura
    Business...?
[02:09] Ai
    Are there even any businesses
    in Saga that would hire idols?
[02:12] Kotaro
    There are, in fact! Because I am awesome!
SIGN    "Business"
[02:14] Kotaro
    It's a big Saga pharmaceutical
    company, Hisanaka Pharma!
[02:18] Kotaro
    If it goes well, this could
    end in a partnership!
[02:20] Sakura
    Partnership?
[02:21] Saki
    Look, I don't get it, but when is
    this business stuff going down?
[02:25] Kotaro
    Right now.
[02:27] Kotaro
    The act they had booked for their
    company trip isn't going to make it.
[02:31] Ai
    Why are all your ideas last minute—
[02:33] Kotaro
    Because we don't get enough
    chances to let any slip by!
[02:35] Kotaro
    Idols have a limited shelf life nowadays.
[02:38] Kotaro
    And you zombies can be
    overworked without dying!
[02:41] Kotaro
    Which means we're doing this.
[02:43] Kotaro
    Just do like you've practiced
    and show off your stuff.
[02:48] Kotaro
    Incidentally, the location is going
    to be the Ureshino Hot Springs.
[02:51] Junko
    Hot springs?!
[02:54] Saki
    Hey, sounds good!
[02:55] Saki
    We've just been washing off
    in the yard, after all.
[02:58] Yugiri
    This could be a chance to wash off
    some of the decay from Franchouchou.
[03:05] Kotaro
    And they're being nice enough
    to put us up overnight.
[03:08] Sakura
    We're staying the night?
[03:10] Saki
    Sounds like we can let it all hang out!
[03:12] Kotaro
    Except none of you are going
    into the hot springs!
[03:15] Kotaro
    Because you can't walk around outside
    of your room without your makeup!
[03:18] Kotaro
    Yeah, sucks to be you!
[03:21] Kotaro
    If you think you've got enough time
    to splish splash in a hot spring,
[03:24] Kotaro
    then use that time for practice!
[03:31] Sakura
    Excuse me...
[03:33] Kotaro
    What's up?
[03:34] Sakura
    What does this pharmaceutical
    company sell, anyway?
[03:40] Kotaro
    This is it.

SIGN    Episode 4 Warming Dead SAGA
[03:54] Intro
    Even if we're dead, we want to
    make our dreams come true...
[03:56] Intro
    No, even if we're dead, we
    will make them come true!
[03:59] Intro
    Is that despair? Or is it hope?
[04:01] Intro
    We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
    we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
[04:05] Intro
    Because that is our saga!
[05:17] Kotaro
    You're in room 606.
[05:20] Kotaro
    You're on at 18:00.
[05:22] Sakura
    Understood!
[05:24] Kotaro
    You better be practicing
    while I'm sightseeing,
[05:26] Kotaro
    since I went to the trouble of
    setting up a room to rehearse in.
[05:29] Sakura
    Right!
[05:30] Sakura
    Wait... Kotaro-san, what did
    you say you would be doing?
[05:34] Kotaro
    Sightseeing.
[05:37] Kotaro
    Gonna see me them sights!
[05:44] Saki
    Well, what're we gonna do?
[05:47] Sakura
    What do you mean?
[05:49] Saki
    You're not seriously gonna go
    straight to practice, right?
[05:51] Sakura
    But we need to rehearse!
[05:52] Saki
    Yeah, later!
[05:53] Saki
    Why does only shades there get to goof off?
    That's what I'm getting at!
[05:56] Sakura
    We can't!
[05:58] Saki
    You wanna die?
[06:00] Saki
    We've been cooped up practicing non-stop!
[06:03] Saki
    And now we're here in Ureshino!
[06:06] Lily
    I wanna go for a walk, too!
[06:07] Saki
    See, shrimpy gets it!
[06:09] Lily
    I am not shrimpy! My name is Lily!
[06:12] Yugirin
    A little bit couldn't hurt.
[06:15] Yugirin
    I'd like to get a look at
    what a modern town is like.
[06:18] Lily
    We've got our makeup on,
    and we'll all be together.
[06:20] Lily
    And we'll be extra careful so
    no one finds out we're zombies!
[06:24] Saki
    Won't we, shrimpy?
[06:25] Lily
    My name is Lily.
[06:28] Sakura
    I guess if everyone agrees...
[06:32] Saki
    Ai, Junko, you two cool with that?
[06:37] Junko
    I don't know if it's a good idea, but...
SIGN    Ureshino Hot Springs

SIGN    Saga
[06:54] Sakura
    Junko-chan, Junko-chan!
[06:56] Sakura
    This fish sculpture is supposed
    to help with skin and health!
[06:59] Sakura
    It says to spread water on it!
[07:01] Junko
    Let's do it.
[07:04] Saki
    Damn, they're getting into it...
[07:04] Sakura
    Come on, more!
[07:23] Kotaro
    It's a real honor to hear from
    Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals.
[07:28] PR
    The people from the inn
    actually told us about you.
[07:31] Kotaro
    I'm glad I was able to
    get a chance to meet you
[07:34] Kotaro
    thanks to my regular interactions
    with different lodgings
[07:36] Kotaro
    and the chamber of commerce.
[07:37] PR
    Is running an idol group out of
    Saga a lot of trouble nowadays?
[07:41] Kotaro
    Well, I'd say there are times it feels like
    we're fighting the current of history.
[07:43] Kotaro
    But I like to think that if we're
    able to make our mark at all,
[07:46] Kotaro
    we'll leave a larger impact for it.
[07:48] PR
    You might be right.
[07:50] Kotaro
    And through that, we'll revitalize Saga.
[07:52] Kotaro
    That's what's at the core of
    Franchouchou's operations.
[07:57] PR
    Revitalize Saga...?
[07:58] Kotaro
    Yes.
[07:59] Kotaro
    That's why, even though
    we're in different fields,
[08:03] Kotaro
    your company being one of the biggest
    in Saga means we look up to you.
[08:06] PR
    Well, we're actually trying to
    widen our potential customer base
[08:12] PR
    to appeal more to younger people.
[08:15] Kotaro
    In that case, we'd love to help!
[08:18] Kotaro
    If we were to become partners,
    I'm sure we could meet your expectations.
[08:22] PR
    I'm looking forward to
    tonight's performance.
[08:25] Kotaro
    That's good to hear.
[08:27] Kotaro
    I'm sure they're all practicing
    their hearts out as we speak...
[08:31] Kotaro
    Their... hearts... out...
[08:35] PR
    Is something wrong?
[08:46] Junko
    I've never used a foot bath before.
[08:48] Junko
    It feels lovely.
[08:49] Yugiri
    Downright heavenly.
[08:51] Sakura
    Feels kinda funny doing this.
[08:54] Lily
    What do you mean?
[08:55] Sakura
    If we had never come back as zombies,
[08:58] Sakura
    we never would've met like this.
[09:00] Sakura
    We're all from different times.
[09:02] Saki
    Sure as hell don't feel dead, though.
[09:05] Saki
    Kinda cool.
[09:06] Lily
    I bet even if I had been in the same time,
[09:08] Lily
    I'd never have gone near
     anyone like Saki-chan!
[09:10] Saki
    Stuff it!
[09:11] Yugiri
    I honestly feel like I'm a child again.
[09:15] Sakura
    I guess so!
[09:16] Sakura
    The whole world must seem different.
[09:18] Ai
    How exactly did we become zombies, though?
[09:21] Ai
    I thought bodies were cremated in Japan.
[09:25] Junko
    And just who exactly is Tatsumi-san?
[09:29] Sakura
    Why's everybody looking at me?!
[09:30] Ai
    Because you were awake first, remember?
[09:33] Sakura
    Yeah, but I have no idea!
[09:35] Saki
    Look, don't sweat the small stuff.
[09:38] Ai
    And I doubt he'd ever give
    us a straight answer...
[09:40] Saki
    The only thing we can say for sure is that
    right now we're using this foot bath, together.
[09:45] Saki
    See, aren't you glad we came?
[09:46] Sakura
    Yeah! But we have to practice—
[09:49] Saki
    I know!
[09:55] Saki
    Hey, Ai-chan...
[09:58] Saki
    Do you think we can make it as proper idols?
[10:02] Ai
    What do you think being a
    proper idol means, Sakura?
[10:06] Sakura
    Well... singing and dancing...
[10:09] Sakura
    And making people happy.
[10:11] Sakura
    Making them excited.
[10:12] Ai
    Well, in that case, we need to
    practice and learn a lot more.
[10:20] Sakura
    Do you think we can if we
    practice a whole bunch more?
[10:40] Sakura
    I... I'm going to do everything I can.
[10:44] Sakura
    I meant what I said after the guerrilla show!
[10:50] Saki
    And if I'm in, I'm all the way in.
[10:55] Yugiri
    I decided a very long time ago to
    dedicate myself to entertaining others.
[11:00] Lily
    I know how hard showbiz can be!
[11:04] Junko
    I...
[11:06] Junko
    I worked by myself when I was active.
[11:08] Junko
    To be honest, there are times when I'm not
    sure about being part of a group.
[11:15] Junko
    But... if the rest of you are
    serious about trying this,
[11:19] Junko
    then I need to do my best as well, don't I?
[11:22] Sakura
    Junko-chan!
[11:23] Ai
    But I'm out the second I think
    this isn't happening, okay?
[11:26] Sakura
    I'll make sure you don't ever think that!
[11:30] Saki
    Hell yeah!
[11:31] Saki
    Let's give them something to
    talk about at today's show!
[11:34] Lily
    Like, how though? What do you mean?
[11:36] Saki
    I dunno.
[11:38] Yugiri
    What can we do to please
    our guests tonight...?
[11:43] Sakura
    Yugiri-san! Phrasing!
[11:46] Junko
    M-Maybe we should know more
    about their product first?
[11:50] Sakura
    Oh, right! We've never
    used Saganship Z before.
[11:53] Saki
    All right, let's head back and try it out!
[11:56] Sakura
    Yeah!

SIGN    Zombie Land Saga
[12:09] Saki
    Slapping these things on is supposed
    to fix stiff shoulders and back pain?
[12:13] Junko
    That's the idea.
[12:14] Saki
    For real?! That's awesome!
[12:16] Sakura
    There's a warning about
    putting them on other people.
SIGN    Saganship Z
[12:19] Sakura
    Says it counts as practicing medicine.
[12:20] Saki
    Who gives a crap?
[12:22] Saki
    We're zombies, not people.
[12:25] Sakura
    I'm... not sure that's...

    Hey—

    who aren't zombies is considered practicing
    medicine. Please don't try this at home.
[12:34] Sakura
    Wow! All my muscle fatigue is gone!
[12:37] Saki
    It's because you're a zombie!
    You must absorb stuff faster!
[12:40] Lily
    Look, look! I can move a whole
    bunch and it won't come off!
[12:46] Saki
    Give it a try, Ai.

    I'm fine.

    Hold up, Sakura.

    Don't take your makeup off yet.

[15:16] Saki
    I can't stand it anymore!

    Let's hit that hot springs!

    It'd be crazy to come all
    this way and not, y'know?

    But if our makeup comes off,
    we won't be able to make it back...
[15:25] Saki
    Nobody's gonna be out this late. Y'know?
[15:28] Sakura
    Kotaro-san's gonna get mad.
[15:30] Saki
    Listen to me, Sakura.
[15:33] Saki
    As long as nobody finds out, we're safe!
[15:34] Sakura
    And if anyone does, we're out!
[15:36] Saki
    Which is why it won't happen!
[15:37] Sakura
    I dunno where all your
    confidence comes from...
[15:41] Saki
    It's because I've gotten into and
    out of more trouble than you, girl.
[15:45] Sakura
    But what about the others?
[15:46] Sakura
    They'll all want to go in, too.
[15:47] Saki
    We've gotta make the hard decision here.
[15:50] Saki
    Less people, less suspicious!
[15:52] Sakura
    Saki-chan, you're just trying to...
[16:01] Sakura
    Junko-chan? What's up?
[16:04] Junko
    I was going to take off my makeup
    after you, Minamoto-san.
[16:08] Junko
    And then...
[16:09] Sakura
    Oh, we're not going!
[16:11] Sakura
    It's too risky.
[16:15] Junko
    I...
[16:17] Junko
    I'd like to go in the hot spring, too.
[16:22] Saki
    There you go.
[16:23] Saki
    It's settled.
[16:25] Saki
    The water here is supposed
    to be great for your skin!
[16:29] Saki
    Gonna make it nice and shiny!
[16:31] Saki
    Maybe it'll turn that egghead
    of yours shiny and soft-boiled!
[16:49] Saki
    Come on, move it!
[16:51] Saki
    We gotta get in and out, quick!
[16:56] Sakura
    I feel revived...
[16:58] Junko
    It really does feel that way.
[17:00] Junko
    Even though we are zombies.
[17:02] Sakura
    My skin's already looking smoother!
[17:05] Saki
    It's because we're zombies!
[17:06] Saki
    We must soak it up faster
    since we're zombies!
[17:08] Sakura
    Amazing!
[17:09] Saki
    See what I told you?
[17:10] Saki
    Your egghead's all shiny now.
[17:15] Saki
    Actually, it kinda looks
    like a century egg now.
[17:21] Junko
    Something just touched me!
[17:23] Saki
    All right, who's the asshole with
    the guts to touch one of our girls?
[17:29] Saki
    Looks like some kinda sheet.
[17:33] Saki
    It's Saganship Z.
[17:35] Saki
    Man, talk about absorbent.
[17:37] Sakura
    Junko-chan, did you forget to
    take the one on your back off?
[17:41] Junko
    I forgot! I'm sorry.
[17:46] Saki
    But, y'know... today went
    pretty good, right?
[17:50] Sakura
    I think so, too!
[17:52] Sakura
    But...
[17:54] Junko
    Well, the audience was happy,
    and that's a good thing.
[18:01] Junko
    But our performance
    still needs a lot of work.
[18:07] Junko
    Let's work hard. So next time, we can
    reach them with just our singing and dancing.
[18:12] Sakura
    Yeah!
[18:15] Saki
    Feels like we've gone from
    being Marutchi to Tamatchi!
[18:27] Sakura
    That's the lady from Hisanaka
    Pharmaceuticals...
[18:30] Sakura
    What now?! What do we do?!
[18:32] Saki
    Go underwater!
[18:34] Saki
    We're zombies, so we can probably
    make it without breathing!
[18:39] ---
    Hey, wai—
[18:43] PR
    Who's there?
[19:01] Saki{garbled}
    Sakura!
[19:06] Ai
    What was that?
[19:45] PR
    H-Help me!
[19:48] Yugiri
    Is something the matter?
[19:54] Sakura
    Huh? What... What's going on?
[19:56] Saki
    Explanations later! Room now!
[20:08] Saki
    Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!
[20:19] Kotaro
    Thank you so much for this opportunity.
[20:21] Kotaro
    And, if you decide it's a good idea,
[20:23] Kotaro
    I look forward to hearing from
    you about the partnership.
[20:30] Staff
    Oh...
[20:31] Staff
    I'm sorry.
[20:33] Staff
    She seems to have had quite a scare.
[20:36] Staff
    The shock's made her forget everything
    that happened yesterday.
[20:41] Kotaro
    Sorry?
SIGN    "A severed head like a bowling ball..."
[20:50] Kotaro
    Next time, I'm shaving your heads.
[20:53] Lily
    That's when we went to the hot springs!
[20:55] Lily
    They wrote about us, huh?
[20:56] Saki
    Who the hell published that?!
[20:58] Saki
    Let's find them and lean on them, hard!
[21:00] Sakura
    I'm sorry...
[21:02] Sakura
    Next time I'll be more careful.
[21:06] Yugiri
    Come, now.
[21:07] Yugiri
    We all used the foot bath together.
[21:11] Yugiri
    I've never shared a moment like
    that with a group before.
[21:15] Yugiri
    It was a good bit of fun.
[21:16] Lily
    Yeah! And I think the better we get along,
    the better our performances will be!
[21:21] Sakura
    Yugiri-san... Lily-chan...
[21:24] Yugiri
    And it's not like we have to
    worry about getting tired.
[21:30] Saki
    Sis is right!
[21:32] Saki
    We'll make up for this next time.
[21:34] Sakura
    Yeah!
[21:35] Saki
    Hell yeah! Let's bust our
    asses and earn us a budget!
[21:39] Everybody
    Yeah!
[21:41] Ai
    You know the money's just
    a means to an end, right?
