**[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*** Saganship Z
**[03:43] Sakura**
Saganship Z?
***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
Siebold Baths
***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
***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...
**[12:28] Sakura**
Hey—
***SIGN*** Administering dermal patches to people
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.
**[12:48] Ai**
I'm fine.
**[12:49] Ai**
It's not like I feel tire—
***SIGN*** Administering dermal patches to people

medicine. Please don't try this at home.
**[12:59] Sakura**
Can we use this in the performance somehow?
**[13:02] Sakura**
Maybe putting them on and then
dancing really energetically?
**[13:10] [SONG] Song**
Awaken now dreamer! Let your heart dance!
**[13:13] [SONG] Song**
And it's okay...
***SIGN*** Hisanaka Pharmaceuticals Banquet
**[13:14] [SONG] Song**
...even if it's a bit crazy
**[13:17] [SONG] Song**
Awaken now dreamer!
You want that excitement!
**[13:20] [SONG] Song**
The feeling...
**[13:21] [SONG] Song**
...of wanting to do more
**[13:22] [SONG] Song**
Gets bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger...
**[13:26] Sakura**
Everyone, I know you all work
really hard at your jobs!
**[13:29] Sakura**
I hope we can help you all
recover a little bit tonight!
**[13:33] Sakura**
Please have a relaxing night with
Saganship Z and our singing!
**[13:40] Sakura**
I'm Number 1!
**[13:41] Sakura**
This is Number 2,
**[13:42] Sakura**
Number 3,

**[13:46] Sakura**
and Number 0!
**[13:47] Sakura**
We're Franchouchou!
**[13:48] Sakura**
And we're glad to be here!
**[13:50] [SONG] Song**
Unlimited dreaming!
**[13:55] [SONG] Song**
We're never giving up!
**[13:58] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! You just have to rise up!
**[14:01] [SONG] Song**
And your unstoppable wish will
**[14:04] [SONG] Song**
grow, grow, grow, and never, ever, ever die!
**[14:08] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! You just have to want it!
**[14:11] [SONG] Song**
A miracle...
**[14:12] [SONG] Song**
...that you're longing to feel
**[14:14] [SONG] Song**
Awaken returner! Just hope for it!
**[14:17] [SONG] Song**
A lovely...
**[14:18] [SONG] Song**
...type of new thrill
**[14:20] [SONG] Song**
Now give!
**[14:21] [SONG] Song**

**[14:21] [SONG] Song**

**[14:22] [SONG] Song**
Me!
**[14:22] [SONG] Song**
Call for it, call for it,
the best and the highest,
**[14:25] [SONG] Song**
and there's not a thing you can't get,
**[14:27] [SONG] Song**
not a single one!
**[14:28] [SONG] Song**
Let it reach all the way out,
our passionate feelings!
**[14:32] [SONG] Song**
With our tender souls!
**[14:34] [SONG] Song**
Cut in!
**[14:36] Kotaro**
Songs for the soul.
**[14:37] Kotaro**
Saganship Z for the body.
**[14:40] Kotaro**
Now that's relaxation.
**[15:09] Sakura**
*I'm so glad they liked it.*
**[15:12] Saki**
Hold up, Sakura.
**[15:13] Saki**
Don't take your makeup off yet.
**[15:15] Sakura**
Saki-chan?
**[15:16] Saki**
I can't stand it anymore!
**[15:18] Saki**
Let's hit that hot springs!
**[15:20] Saki**
It'd be crazy to come all
this way and not, y'know?
**[15:22] Sakura**
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?
