| Wow, episodes 8 and 9 felt so much different (for obvious reasons). I kind of forgot what show I was watching, and honestly, I enjoyed it so much I'd love to see more. Alas, we return to usual zombieland next weak :) |
| Episode 8-9 are now my favorite zombieland episode.. lol |
| Well, I didn't imagine that tragic final for Yunigi. Since the beginning I was suspecting she died because she got captured in war or something like this. But her backstory was interesting |
| Okay the backstory was great and all, yes, but... That performance at the end is one of my favorites! The choreography animation and the costumes were on point. But yeah, was good to get a piece of not only Yuugiri's backstory but also the backstory to this whole show. |
Is Blue Box my favorite manga? Not yet...Yes. Yes it is.  |
| and the traditional episode continues! Yuugiri is so badass! she is also called "Sheathed Kichiemon" and "Demon of Hibiya" 5/5. |
 |
| Yugiri went down legendary. The Oni of Hibischiya eh? Truly a warrior of the edo period. From one era to another she lives to see her new days. Also she knew about the whole revival thing. Hope they tell us soon why the other characters were sorted for the team too. Especially the ever mysterious and the only remaining untold backstory of the Legendary Yamada Tae. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Awesome. Yuugiri's story was great. Very good these 2 chapters. And the song is AMAZING!!!! |
| Well I'll be darned. The letters Yujiri posted were addressed to actual real life prominent people in the central government, Ooki Takato and Ookuma Shigenobu. Both were cabinet ministers in various governments. So, as a fictional character, she was extremely well connected to say the least. This exemplifies one of the reasons why I really liked this arc. The whole scenario was laid out in a few seconds in the preview at the end of episode 7. The viewer would've known what was going to happen right from there. The two episdoe arc fleshed that out into an interesting storyline with relatively subtle details and hints. It wasn't superb but it was darn good enough for me. The attention to details made it a lot more fun to watch. My takeaway from this arc regarding Yugiri; never underestimate that woman. |
| I was honestly not expecting to hear Sagajihen again. Song slaps lol |
| the backstory is awful and full of sadness .. |
| Yugiri had the most respectable death than the other members. Just can't wait for them to reveal the past of Legendary Tae. This episode was beautiful, sad and funny at the same time. Loved it when they showed Kiichi and itou dancing, also their dance was kinda like Bollywood dance XD Is that bartender dude a zombie too or did he reincarnate but remembers his past memories? They still have that picture undamaged...  Was her boobies always that huge...? 👀 |

I thought it was her since she knew swordplay. |

| Beautiful, simply beautiful~!X'3> Probably my favorite episode of the entire series to date~!<3 X'3> |
| 😭 really legendary Listening to saga jihen feels diff and much treasured now Without yugiri's connections and push to koichi, koichi won't be able to move forward to his goal. Yugiri being a legendary oiran before meeting koichi may have not been explained further but seeing her skills while being koichi made her legendary. A legendary courtesan got lots of cultured skills and talents and ofc being skilled in the real def of courtesan. And yugiri may be excelling the most (since courtesan got rankings and stuff) therefore she became the Legendary Oiran (imo ofc) plus sending koichi to those that can help him She arranged that by hersef but wasnt shown futher i think in the anime. Thats why other viewers felt like yugiri's backstory were nothing. So it depends on viewers take on the ep. |

"Everyone fails sometimes But dreams won't fade, dreams won't fade Let's chase them as many times as it takes and don't lose Because today after all is today and once you wake up, it'll be a new morning" ~Aqours~ |
| Sure it ended in a tragedy but Kotaro's ancestor could free Saga thnx to that. It sux they weren't together to see that but Yuigiri can see it with her own eyes after being revived as a zombie. So even after all these years they are still connected. Tat said holy smokes so that old man was the bartender? So is this dude a zombie? There was a big hint. He had the zombie dog with him. |
 |
| So that's why the old man at the bar said that he owns Yugiri a big debt in season 1. She helped saving Saga, which in turn, saved the old man who is the embodiment of the Saga. |
| Zombieland Saga strikes again with the heartbreaking backstories ;_; This one made up for the fact that Yugiri didn't have one in S1. A change of pace that didn't feel awkward and Yugiri shot up in my favorite ranking. Good shit. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| So this was 2 episode arc of Yuigiri,i was wondering how they are gonna wrap things because it was getting tense near the end but it turns they shows us in monologue form which was good since they cant drag it any further,definetely one of the most emotional episode of the entire season. |
 |
| Yugiri Backstory is good... Fantastic Performance as always Saga Jihen. Love the CGI. MAPPA are killing it!!!! |
 |
| Looks like Yuugiri isn't actually a full fledged courtesan. It was just a cover while working as an assassin. She earned the nicknames "Sheathed Kichiemon" and "Demon of Hibiya." |

| I was interested in Yugiri from the start so I was looking forward to see her past. I had a feeling it would be something big considering that the bartender said he had a "big debt" to her on the first season, and wow oh wow this went beyond my expectation. We already know most of them had a "legendary" status but to be one of the person responsible for shaping the past came to me as a big shock. |
 |
| This just wasn't my thing, I was so uninterested, I felt like kms so many times. Had to skim and do what I could. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Ahhhhhhhhh! I knew Yugiri was awesome since she's my favorite but I didn't know she was this friggen awesome! I'm friggen crying this isn't even right. Ahhhhhh! I just love how they did this whole arc. And like sure, she wasn't even really from Saga, but she pretty much saved Saga (in this anime). I'm really glad that Yugiri and the bartender still keep up and talk. Though Yugir tends to take thigns as they come, I'd imagine that it'd be kinda rough hoping from Meji to Reiwa. Having someone you can talk to sounds like it'd be pretty grounding. -sobs- The dancing at the end really killed me. I love you, Yugiri. ;___; |
| While its fun to see some comedic backstories, having a more serious one is nice once in a while. Noble self-sacrifice by Yugiri that contributed to Kiichi's dream of saving Saga |
 |
| I am extremely happy that they decided to play these 2 episodes entirely straight, I was almost worried it was gonna pull back and reveal they were doing a TV show or something at one point but this was surprisingly pretty captivating. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
bassyey said: Saga Jihen is my favorite Franchouchou song. Great episode. SkyCube said: Best episode so far Dudes not only the best episode, it was the best fucking performance yet! That song kicked ass, and the entire two episode special was just fucking cool! - with a little bit of action, comedy, backstory, and then an EPIC SONG to finish it all off Totally think the bartender dude is either the old man from the 1800s, or kiichi or whatever his grandsons name was, who is now old and just looks like his grandpa - but 120-140 years later,,, errrrrrr, it would be more realistic for him to be a zombie seeings he can't be 140, thats just a bit too farfetched lol, |
| Best episode. Saga and Yuugiri's origin story. Yuugiri is just, best girl. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| Yeah.. Some of movements can end up being radical.. Well, this friend is a snake, it seems.. Well, not like it wasn't hinted already, but now we see him tearing paper.. He probably has his own reasons to want for place to go into hostilities.. Maybe hoping for getting some political spot after that or something, we'll see, I guess.. Eh, I don't know about this guy's words.. You sabotaged group in the first place by tearing their actually peaceful paper to the government.. You escalated the conflict.. So all his talks about "your group went too far" - well, it's partially your doing and responsibility in the first place, dude.. So that guy was just following orders, it seems, believing that tearing country apart even more is not what country needs.. At the same time a bit considering Kiichi's ideas.. Him tearing paper was still escalating the conflict as well, though.. So in the end he is more black character to me.. Barman a bit resembles Kiichi's old man.. Maybe some generations relative.. Or who knows.. As no idea, if we can make zombies, maybe we can be immortal in this anime.. I have no idea.. |
| They really wentback with this one. |
| It might be the couple beers I already consumed... But I have to say that these last two episodes have hit REALLY hard! It's so well written and such a sudden change from the idol-anime we used to enjoy. Not gonna lie the 2nd season is going to stick with me for while. Rentfree in my head haha! I enjoyed this more than I should've XD But as previously mentioned it might be the beers in the end. |
 |
| The whole backstory was way too boring and included too much from the annoying not-so-subtle ancestor of Koutarou, at least the Ai x Junko's melodrama was idol-related, this was trying to give some deeper meaning to the idea of saving Saga but it just never take-off and it lacked the absurdity that make the show great. |
| Yugiri kawaii 🤭 Yugiri.. most tragic n epic death.. Now we know the reason behind her neck 😭 Well.. if you compare her past story with other members.. it could be boring.. But this is the crucial things, why the producer wants Saga back.. She reminds me of Meiko from Vocaloid lol |
 |
| That was really a nice but sad background story of Yuugiri. Never thought she would be good with a sword. Even though she was executed but happy that's alive as a Zombie. She become even more likeable.. I'm curious of that old man in the bar is the same old man as Yoichi's dad? |
| The preview before the arc had me excited to see Yuugiri's episodes and curious on how they'd be, turns out we saw a really incredible history, making Saga's revival much more legendary in tone. Already respected Yuugiri heaps and this arc made her story even better, great episodes, impactful story. Also, song which closed it? Fucking awesome! One of my favourites! |
 |
| holy shit what an episode!!! and the best song performance so far 😍 |
 plz @ me |
