Five years have passed since the battle against the last Sagako. Anna is on a plane bound for Saga, since she has returned with her parents from Tokyo. She reads a letter from Hanako, who tells her that she has won prizes from her research. The group plans to meet on their “promised day” and for that, they have returned to Saga.
Anna arrives at the Hyodo house, where she is reunited with Yuko, who gives her an energetic welcome. Mrs. Hyodo is worried about Anna's job as a police officer in Tokyo because she thinks it's too dangerous, but she tells her that it's not like that, and they're just busy. Although 5 years have passed, Anna still has doubts about what happened that day.
While Tae is sealed together with Magatsuhi, Yuko is released from her onion, but with the peculiarity that she now has the antlers of the Sagako with whom she shared the onion. Now both are merged. Yuko sees her brother after a long time and breaks down in tears, since she was always afraid of getting trapped inside the onion. Even as an onion, she could see and hear everything, watching her brother care for her and fight for her. Anna remembers Yuko as more independent than she was, but Hanako tells her that she was always a normal girl. When Yuko hugs Eikichi, she realizes that he is now taller than her, even though they were both the same height when Yuko was sealed.
Returning to the present, Yuko also remembers that Hanako used an electric saw to cut her antlers, and they have not reappeared from then on. At that, Hanako arrives at the meeting in a surprise entrance, saying that since then, Sagako has not appeared in Saga again and peace has returned to Saga. Yuko also mentions that the power of onions has also disappeared, and that MJ has gotten younger, opening a new adult store. Yuko is now an older woman, and even has a family with children.
While the meeting of the girls happens, Eikichi is in the cemetery where Tae's grave is. In her absence, many things happened. Eikichi has graduated from school and is now the farmer on the farm, Anna has reconciled with her parents and has become a police officer, Hanako has continued to investigate her; her sister has married and started a family. But Eikichi feels that he hasn't achieved anything. While the others have advanced and Saga has been saved, he feels stuck and feels that there was a person who couldn't be saved that day.
In that, an old man arrives and talks to him and tells him not to blame others and keep moving forward on his own. After all, that's what Tae would say. Eikichi is confused by the old man, who reminds him that it is Master Jofuku. Although Tae's body received a curse, her spirit continues to protect Saga, so Eikichi should not worry about her.
The rest of the group arrives at the cemetery, where they are reunited with MJ and Eikichi for their promised day. In this way, ending the manga of Zombie Land Saga Gaiden: The First Zombie.

==Trivia==
* This is the only chapter of the spin-off manga to copy the naming convention of the episodes of the anime as well as Kotaro Tatsumi's theme, “Never Ending SAGA”.
* While we are never told who Yuko’s daughter is, it is highly likely that she was part of the future cast of the anime. And considering that Yuko was fused with Sagako, her daughter might have inherited supernatural properties, so it's probably actually Sakura Minamoto.
* Page 8 has a reference to the manga “Tokyo Mew Mew” The plot centers on five girls infused with the DNA of various endangered animals. Thus, the girls acquire special powers that allow them to transform into “Mew Mews”. The group is led by Ichigo Momomiya, and their duty is to protect the Earth from the aliens who “claim” it.
** The plot is suspiciously similar to the story of Zombie Land Saga, but instead of girls with animal DNA, it's zombie girls with supernatural properties. In addition, at the end of the second season, “aliens” also appears.
* Page 18 of the manga also has a reference to Pokémon, in this case to Mew, as a mysterious figure that Hanako is investigating.
