ZOMBIE LAND SAGA (ゾンビランドサガ)

Previously on Zombie Land Saga!

Franchouchou is set to do a show with five hundred people in the audience!

Plus, when I realized the venue might have a connection

to my missing memories, I reached max hype levels!

After seeing me like that, Kotaro-san's plan was training in the mountains, somehow?!

As I watched everyone focus more on wilderness survival instead

of rehearsal, my max hype had me harrumphing up a storm!

But then, after I saw how they made use of their experience in the mountains

for idol stuff, it made me realize something!

That I was the one who had lost sight of things!

And the moment max-hype Sakura found her faith

in her friends again and decided to look forward,

she was hit by a max-hype truck that came in from the side!

Episode 11 A One-Of-A-Kind SAGA

Even if we're dead, we want to make our dreams come true...

No, even if we're dead, we will make them come true!

Is that despair? Or is it hope?

We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!

Because that is our saga!

What was I doing...?

Where am I?

I'm sorry!

What the hell, man?

Sakura?

Sakura-chan! You're awake!

That's a relief.

Sakura?

Hey!

What's wrong?

Sakura-san...?

What? Did you lose your marbles again?

I can't...

Sakura-chan?

It doesn't matter what I try...

Even trying is pointless.

Man, no telling what's up this time.

She was afraid of us, wasn't she?

Shall I try slapping her?

Wait! I think I might know...

See what I mean?

I really don't have what it takes.

What just happened?

Are you okay?

Ai Mizuno? What?

What are you doing here?!

Hey, do you remember who you are?

I'm Sakura Minamoto.

What about your address? Phone number?

Your family?

Y-Yeah, I do...

It's like I thought.

Hey! You're... Ai Mizuno-san from Iron Frill, right?

Sakura...

Yes?!

I'm going to explain why you're here

and what's happened to you, so I need you to stay calm.

You're... already dead.

You're a zombie.

What?

What are you talking about?

Ten years ago...

you died, probably in an accident of some kind.

What...?

You think Sakura-chan is gonna be okay?

We shouldn't have much to worry about if Ai-han is dealing with it.

Damn it! Where the hell is shades at a time like this?

He left this morning, saying something about business...

Hey!

What about Sakura-chan? How is she?

Well...

I'm not positive, but

it looks like getting hit by that truck yesterday has brought back her memories of her life.

For real?!

But now she doesn't remember anything since she became a zombie.

No way...

I've explained everything I could for now.

About how we're all zombies, and about Franchouchou.

These are the members of the group I was telling you about.

Do you really not remember us?

I-I'm sorry...

So does this mean Sakura won't be able to do the show?!

Show...?

We were going to do our first show with 500 fans in attendance.

It's coming up, at a place called Arpino.

Arpino...?

It's a really big event for us.

Arpino...

We've all been practicing really hard to get ready for it.

Including you.

You might be confused at the moment,

but I know you'll be ready to get on stage when the time comes.

I really...

I really became an idol...?

No. You can go without me.

Don't sweat it!

You'll remember it all if you rehearse some!

Okay?

That's not what I mean. I just can't do it.

You don't know that without trying!

I don't want to!

Stuff like working towards something...

I don't have what it takes.

Don't have it?

Don't have what?

It means that no matter what I do, it never works out.

Every time I try, I just end up suffering for it.

Hey...

Excuse me.

Hey!

And right after she was finally back to normal...

This makes the trouble from the mountains look like nothing.

Wait, does this mean Sakura's quitting Franchouchou?!

Well, how's it going?

Well... we're getting there, I guess.

When you first told me about your little plan,

I thought your damn brains had gone rotten.

What'd you call it again?

"The Original Zombie Village: Hizen's Highway Dream Project"?

The Zombie Land Saga Project.

Yeah, that.

"To manifest great compassion, and to act for the sake of man," huh?

Jocho Yamamoto's Hagakure.

I wouldn't say it's anything that noble.

Just keep your hands off Yugiri.

I owe that girl a hell of a lot.

And how long ago are you talking?

Those were some good times. Real interesting.

You realize how uncool adults who don't

stop talking about the good old days are, don't you?

That's rich, coming from you.

Damn it, man.

I just can't get into it.

It'd be crazy to expect anyone to be able to focus, considering.

Do you think she's gonna forget me forever?

I understand how you all feel...

but we have to hang in there, or this show is going to fall apart.

The people coming to see us don't know what our troubles are.

Yeah, but...

It'll be okay.

Let's trust her and wait.

Damn, I'm all sweaty.

Gonna go wash off again.

No Unauthorized Access Absolutely None No Contact Allowed Stay Out

You can keep asking me, but my answer won't change.

You were seriously fired up for this!

Something must've been wrong with me, then.

Just forget about it.

You think I can do that?!

You wanna die?!

Arguing isn't going to make a difference.

I have nothing else to say.

You can yell at me all you want.

Damn it, you stupid little—

Stop that.

Enough already!

Damn it! Damn it!

I think I'll go listen to the sound of waves in a seashell.

Sakura-san...

If you have something to say, please get on with it.

Um... I...

Huh? The stars are calling me!

I'm gonna go look at the sky!

Sakura-chan... you still don't remember me?

How old are you?

I'm twelve years old forever!

Magically!

It must be nice. Since you're cute.

Like that star you were wearing.

That's right!
