Last time on Zombie Land Saga!
After a crazy Saga Rock, people are starting to hear our name!
Franchouchou's so happy and embarrassed! We did it!
But then Lily-chan's pappy showed up out of nowhere!
At first she wasn't sure what to do,
but she seemed really happy to learn that he never stopped caring about her!
Even with my zombie heart, what happened still gave me that warm feeling!
The end!
Those Korosuke chicks don't know when to give up...
Reiko Kirishima Saki Nikaido
They're freaking out, trying to keep us from taking over Kyushu.
This is getting to be a drag.
Maybe I'll just crush them all myself.
You really oughta do something about that crazy streak
or it's gonna end up killing you.
No way in hell am I dying.
And neither is this little guy!
Check it out! A Maskutchi.
Let's head back.
Damn, I'm hungry!
I wish Drive Tori was open this early...
Reiko! You wanna race to Tenmangu?
You never learn, huh?
You know that when it comes to cranking the throttle, you never beat me.
I'll make up for it with guts.
Not in a million years.
Episode 9 Though My Life May Have Ended Once By Some Twist of Fate I Have Risen, and If Song and Dance Are to Be My Fate, Then Carrying the Memories of My Comrades In My Heart As I Sally Forth Shall Be My 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!
Huh? What was that?
Like I said!
Those gals said they wanna join us!
For the Kashima Dance!
What?!
You trying to tell me this is gonna help Franchouchou out?
S-Sure!
That's what Kotaro-san said...
Advanced Age
Young People
So, if you take a look here, you can see that the population of Saga
Graph of Age Demographics In Saga
is generally of advanced age, right?
Which means you all need to work harder to grab the hearts of all these old folks!
And in order to make them your fans...
Kashima Dance
You're going to joining in on a practice meeting for the Kashima Dance!
Has there ever in history been idols with a significant elderly fanbase?
Well, not that I've heard of.
All right, it's about time to get started.
Upsie-daisy...
Music! Come on!
Saga is hidden in the leaves, deep in the south
Wow!
They're sharp as hell!
Get a move on, now! All of you, come on!
We're supposed to come on already?!
Do you think we'll be able to keep up?
Well, we'll just have to find out!
Now, come and dance, come along and dance!
That was harder than our usual lessons, I think!
You two!
Everybody's waiting!
Coming!
Lame.
You chicks...
What the hell makes you think you can dance around here, huh?
What middle school you from, anyway?!
I-It's like another Saki-chan...
I'm a permanent grade schooler now, thank you!
Maria-chan, I think going after grade schoolers is kinda...
I agree with her.
N-Never mind you, then.
But you! What the hell makes you think you can hoot and holler in this park?!
I-I mean...
Th-This is a public park, right?
Yeah, get her!
This is bad! Tae-chan, cut it out!
What the hell is wrong with you, bitch?!
Sakura! You done yet?
I'm gonna kill you if you don't get a move on.
Saki-chan!
Where the hell do you get off butting into this, huh?!
Don't pick fights you're not ready for.
Maria-chan...
These girls seem kinda dangerous.
Also, crazy.
I agree with her!
Dorami (Mad Demon Beauties) Eighth Boss Maria Kirishima
Dorami
Just remember, this park is Dorami turf!
You got that?!
What the heck was that?
Thank you, Saki-chan.
For real...?
Maria-chan...
I'm starting to think we shouldn't bother anymore.
Maybe we should all quit Dorami-chan together.
Don't put a -chan on the end of the team's name!
Our bikes are scooters...
Being lady bikers is too much work.
Dumbass!
I am not quitting this team, no matter what!
But your mom... I mean, even the first boss...
I keep telling you not to bring her up.
Sorry...
Fallen Angels
Korosuke (Murder Girls)
Maria-chan! It's Korosuke!
Korosuke
Th-The tenth boss of Korosuke...
Misa the Fallen Angel!
Been a while, Maria.
I was thinking it's about time I shut Dorami down for good.
You can take all that crap you're talking and cram it.
Dorami isn't going anywh—
No one interfere, now.
This beef has been going since these clubs started... Why don't we end it ourselves?
Sounds good to me.
Tae-chan! Did you eat my squid?!
We danced ourselves to death back there...
Yes, it was quite the good time.
Liar! Open your mouth!
Hey, quit playing around! We're crammed in here!
Excuse me... can someone open a window?
Open up, Tae-chan! Tae-chan!
Are you not feeling well, Junko-han?
Give it back! That was my squid!
There's a pressure point here that should help...
Does that still work on zombies?
Could all of you please shut the hell up?!
Give it, Tae-chan!
That's my squid! Give it back!
What's wrong, Saki-chan?
Damn it...
What are you doing?!
Tatsumi...
What is it now?! Damn!
Saki-chan fell out.
No way!
Hold up.
Oh, crap.
H-Hey! This is none of your business! Back off!
And who are you?
Me? Let's see...
Hey, hey! What are you girls doing over there?
I-I'll call for backup, y'know...!
If you don't wanna end up locked up, be good kids and run along... please.
That killed the mood.
We'll settle this some other way.
And soon.
What'd you butt in for?
Because you've got no chance in hell against her.
Don't just make stuff up!
I'm telling you, you can't take her.
No matter what anybody says, I'm gonna keep Dorami going!
Listen...
What's her name, anyway?
Your, uh... Y'know.
You got a mom, right?
Who gives a crap about that spineless wimp?
Let's go.
Maria-chan, wait!
Amabuki Naomasa
Reiko
Maria
Maria! I was so worried!
You were out so late...
Give it a rest.
Wait! This was stuffed into our mailbox...
Challenge
It's them... Are they stupid?!
Please, Maria, stop all this!
Cram it! It's none of your business, anyway!
I'm sorry.
Why are you always apologizing when you didn't do anything wrong?!
Like a weakling!
What the hell was that?!
The only way zombies like you are allowed to interact with living humans
is when you're doing idol stuff!
I get it.
No, you don't.
Anything involving violence is totally taboo for idols.
There's a chance that your personal actions could put an end to Franchouchou.
Keep that in mind.
Thank you for being born, Maria!
I'm going now!
Make sure to be a good girl and greet everybody! Be safe!
I'm heading out!
You're all grown up now!
Have a good day!
I'm leaving.
I'm so glad you're such a good girl!
Take care!
Welcome ho—
If you saw me now...
I wonder what you'd think?
Saki...
Zombie Land Saga
So, what are you going to do from now on?
In the future.
I figure after taking over Kyushu comes taking the rest of the country, right?
That's just like you.
Not you, though?
I...
I want to get married like normal and have a normal family.
Y'know, my parents are divorced... and stuff like studying and school clubs...
I never had, like, a "normal youth," right?
I don't want my kids to end up like this.
What the hell's normal supposed to be?
I don't get it.
I bet you don't!
She's got the same eyes as Reiko.
We'll settle this some other way.
And soon.
That's pretty damn soon!
Where are you going?
It seems you didn't understand what I told you, after all.
I told you, I get it.
What are you going to do, then?
Ain't it obvious?
Idol stuff, man.
Maria. Do you want dinner?
Come at midnight to Kagamiyama 10th Korosuke Boss
Kagamiyama?!
You ready to do this?
I was born ready.
Reiko, hang on to this for me.
Saki!
I told you...
There's no way in hell I'm dying.
Saki!
Let go of me!
Reiko-san!
You can't!
Saki!
Kagamiyama
This place has some history for Korosuke and Dorami.
A good place for your club to finally die.
Keep on yapping.
We're playing chicken towards the end of the cliff. First to brake loses.
You wanna quit, now's the chance.
Shut up! Let's get started already.
That's what I like to hear.
Three...
Two...
Maria!
Who's the old lady?
Her bike's pretty sweet, though.
What the hell do you want?!
Oh my god, here comes mommy!
You need to stop this nonsense!
Shut up! You need to back off!
She's here to stop them?
That is hilarious.
Hey!
Please, put a stop to this.
I'm begging you!
How pathetic are you gonna get?!
Always bowing down and apologizing...
I thought you were the first boss of Dorami!
How did you end up like this?!
I am never going to end up like you!
Keeping this team going is gonna be proof of that!
Maria...
Maria! Wait!
Crap, crap, crap, crap!
Stop, stop, stop—
Who's this?
That... seemed kinda crazy.
Captain-for-a-Day
Even if my heart stopped once...
It pulses now intensely with the echoes...
of the voices of the friends who once watched my back...
And to pay back the gratitude they've earned,
I'll once again race down the path of carnage.
You again?
This is private business.
It's my business, too.
I'm Dorami's Captain-for-a-Day!
Captain-for-a-Day?
What gives you the right?!
What's the big deal?
You oughta be glad to have a new member, anyway.
D-Don't give me that!
If you're in Dorami, you oughta know.
There's a dumbass who actually died doing this before.
You telling me you're ready to die?
I don't care who I'm up against if it brings Dorami down.
I'm borrowing your bike.
Stop this craziness!
Do you realize how dangerous this is?!
You could die!
There's no way in hell I'm dying.
Saki...?!
Who's that supposed to be?
You ready to go?
I was born ready.
Three!
Two!
One!
Go!
No way! She sped up?!
Get a load of this!
Damn, that hurt.
Holy crap...
She's got more guts than anyone I've ever seen.
Crap... Guess I wrecked your bike.
Sorry about all the trouble.
You dumbass!
What the hell were you gonna do if things went wrong?!
Maria...
Seems to me your mom's got plenty of guts.
You wanna keep Dorami going, you need to face her head on and prove to her
that you've got enough guts that she won't have to worry about you.
Whew...
Still don't get it, though.
What does "normal" even mean?
You've got me beat.
You could definitely be a legend among the next gen of lady bikers.
Legend...
Oh, crap! I forgot the most important part!
Listen up, people!
This kinda stuff isn't legendary! It's nothing!
What I'm after is way above all this!
I'm gonna show you what a real legend looks like.
Music... come on.
If Song and Dance Are to Be My Fate, Then Carrying the Memories of My Comrades In My Heart As I Sally Forth Shall Be My Saga
Whether it's taking over Kyushu or the whole damn country...
Anybody who wants to laugh is dead meat.
Good to have you!
I might not be easy to get along with
But I'll get through this the hard way, and it's good to have you along for the ride!
Good to have you!
Rip it up!
Ride, ride!
Everybody!
Ride, ride!
Even if you die...
You've got a fist to show people what you're all about!
No past, no tomorrow either!
You've gotta bloom in the moment!
It's more than you ever bargained for!
They've got a new bunch of weirdos in the crowd!
When the stray dogs strut their stuff!
That's what Franchouchou's all about!
And this night is an endless suicide ride!
And it's all good!
That never ends!
Number 2...
Good to have you!
Good to have you along for the ride!
