    Last time on Zombie Land Saga!
[00:02] Sakura
    We ran out of budget even though
    we've barely done anything yet,
[00:05] Sakura
    so we took our first offer for a paid job!
[00:08] Sakura
    It was at a hot springs, of all places!
[00:10] Sakura
    We got to relax and take in the sights.
    It was kinda fun!
[00:13] Sakura
    The show went great, and we were so excited
[00:15] Sakura
    we couldn't control our girlish whimsy and
    dove into the springs after being told not to!
[00:19] Sakura
    Then we ran through the inn
    with our zombieness exposed,
[00:21] Sakura
    which ended with our chance for
    a partnership going up in smoke!
[00:23] Sakura
    Sakura really goofed this time!
     Sowwy evewybody!

    We've got the championship game to determine
    the ultimate idol high school today!
[00:38] Kotaro
    After an interesting game, we're in the
    ninth inning with three runs apiece!

[00:41] Kotaro
    Will Franchouchou High School be able to
    hold it together through this inning?
[00:44] Kotaro
    Pitching is their ace, Saki Nikaido!
[00:47] Kotaro
    This is the first pitch. There it goes!
[00:49] Kotaro
    Blammo!
[00:52] Kotaro
    And that's a home ruuuu—
[00:59] Kotaro
    Owie...
[01:00] Saki
    That hurt, prick! I'm gonna kill you!
[01:02] Kotarro
    Dirt... The dirt...
[01:04] Kotarro
    The dirt... The dirt...
[01:04] Sakura
    Uh, what exactly are you doing?
[01:07] Kotaro
    I'm picking up some dirt off the field!
[01:09] Kotaro
    Competitive fields are cruel, y'know!
[01:11] Kotaro
    The second you let your guard
    down, it can all fall apart!
[01:14] Sakura
    O-Okay.
[01:16] Kotaro
    I'm trying to say that if you get lazy,
    you're gonna be in for-real trouble,
[01:19] Kotaro
    you dim-witted zombies!
[01:21] Kotaro
    You haven't forgotten that little "hey, we're
    zombies" mess at the resort, have you?
[01:25] Sakura
    No.
[01:26] Kotaro
    You wanna get talked about,
     make sure it's because you're idols!
[01:29] Kotaro
    We haven't gotten any further
    operating budget thanks to you!
[01:31] Ai
    I'm pretty sure that's your fault.
[01:33] Kotaro
    Well, I happen to have arranged a gig
[01:36] Kotaro
    that even you slobs will be able
    to hit a grand-slam home run with!
[01:40] Kotaro
    Starting today, we're gonna
    try to raise our profile!
[01:42] Kotaro
    And the first step is having you appear in
    a commercial for a certain mega-famous business!
[01:47] Sakura
    We're getting offers for commercials?

    Sir, yes, sir!
[05:31] Prez
    Most people think of beef when it
    comes to yakiniku-style grilling,
[05:34] Prez
    but in Saga, it's all about chicken.
[05:39] Saki
    Sakura! Try some of that sauce,
    and the garlic pepper!
[05:43] Sakura
    Okay.
[05:44] Saki
    All right, this one's looking pretty good.
[05:45] Lily
    Hey, I was cooking that one!

[17:40] Sakura
    It's the only choice we have!
[17:43] MC
    Next contestant, come on down!
[17:48] Sakura
    I get the feeling Ai-chan
    can pull this off...
[17:55] Host
    That's a distance of 5
    meters and 20 centimeters!
[17:58] Host
    Doesn't amount to much!
[18:01] Ai
    Say something!
[18:05] Junko
    This is higher up than I thought...
[18:17] Saki
    Hell yeah!
[18:18] Saki
    Right to the top!
[18:27] Saki
    The distance is... three meters.
[18:30] Lily
    You're supposed to jump forward.
[18:32] Saki
    Get 'em, Big Sis Yugiri!
[18:36] Yugiri
    Right!
[18:54] Host
    Those points are purely for artistic
    value, with a distance of zero meters!
[18:57] Lily
    Here I go!
[18:59] Lily
    Magical Shooting Star!
[19:05] Host
    Now that's some real distance!
[19:08] Host
    She's currently in fourth place!
[19:09] Host
    Not quite enough to reach the podium!
[19:20] Sakura
    If I believe... then I can fly.
[19:23] Sakura
    I have to... have to win this!
[19:29] Saki
    Fly, Sakura!
[19:42] Host
    A total belly-flop!
[19:44] Lily
    That looked painful.
[19:45] Lily
    And a score... of 1!
[19:47] Lily
    The lowest score in today's games!
[19:49] Saki
    Yeah, that's not impressing anybody.
[19:54] Host
    Huh? We've got someone with a
    unique style on the stand now.
[19:59] Sakura
    Tae-chan?!
[20:00] Saki
    Hey, hey, hey!
[20:25] Host
    Well that's... What the?
[20:27] Host
    It's hard to tell because of the sun...
    What just happened?
[20:30] Ai
    This is bad!
[20:31] Saki
    Hide the fact she's a zombie!
[20:33] HOst
    Whoa, now!
[20:34] HOst
    Her teammates have all jumped
    into the mud after her!
[20:36] HOst
    What a wonderful display of teamwork!

[20:51] MC
    Let's get a word from her right away.
[20:53] MC
    How do you feel right now?
[20:55] Saki
    So much for advertising.
[20:57] Sakura
    Yeah...
[21:00] MC
    I wonder if she got too much mud
    in her mouth to be able to speak?
[21:03] MC
    In any case, that was an amazing jump!
[21:04] MC
    Congratulations!
[21:06] Ai
    Well, what's done is done.
[21:11] Sakura
    Wait, Tae-chan has two shirts on!
[21:14] Saki
    For real?!

    Tae-chan! Tear your shirt!
