Episode 4

**Flight Attendant of the Dead** (CA オブ ザデッド, *CA obu zadeddo*?) is the fourth episode of *Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead* anime adaptation.

## Synopsis

Akira and Kencho arrived in Ikebukuro to obtain a large television. While being chased by zombies, the two sought refuge in the underground department store, where they encountered a trio of flight attendants.

As they introduced themselves over drinks, Akira and the others realized that it was a long-awaited opportunity for a social gathering!

## Summary

Akira was engrossed in playing a video game centered around zombies, while Kencho took on the role of chef, preparing a meal for both of them on the rooftop. In a light-hearted banter, Kencho teased Akira about his dating life but wished him good luck.

As Akira continued with his game, Kencho took a peek at Akira's bucket list. Despite Akira's suggestion that he should create his own list, Kencho decided to add some items to Akira's list, emphasizing his commitment to being there for Akira after saving him from a near-death experience. Akira then proposed a trip to Ikeburo to purchase a widescreen television, a request tied to one of his bucket list goals.

During their conversation, Kencho shared his aspiration of becoming a stand-up comedian with Akira, causing Akira to contemplate his own dreams. Their journey took an unexpected turn when they encountered a truck driven by a zombie. Akira skillfully navigated through a series of zombie-related obstacles, leading them to take refuge in an underground section of a shopping mall, where they encountered other survivors. These survivors, however, did not share the same optimism as Akira and Kencho about the zombie apocalypse.

Recognizing an opportunity to fulfill one of Akira's bucket list items, Akira and Kencho decided to engage with the female survivors they had encountered. The girls, named Reika, Maki, and Yukari, introduced themselves as flight attendants, much to the delight of Kencho and Akira. Akira pondered how he could make their experience better, given the grim circumstances created by the zombies. Observing Kencho's success with one of the attendants, Akira resorted to a humorous stunt involving Tequila to make one of the other girls laugh.

Akira's plan succeeded, and all the girls burst into laughter. However, Akira had to retreat to the restroom to deal with the effects of the Tequila. During his absence, Yukari checked on him. Meanwhile, Kencho and Maki explored a store together. Reika expressed her dissatisfaction with life, but their time took a dark turn when the man they were with turned into a zombie and attacked her. The situation alarmed Kencho and Maki. On the other hand, Yukari confided in Akira, sharing her concerns about her career and revealing that she had a boyfriend.

Maki and Kencho encountered a zombified Reika, and a gruesome incident unfolded as Maki lost her life. Kencho had to defend himself by using Reika's suitcase as a weapon. Meanwhile, Yukari and Akira had a heart-to-heart conversation about their career dilemmas. Akira realized that despite his initial dreams of working in the production industry, his current journey had made him realize that his dream was not truly his own. In the midst of their conversation, the man who had been with them earlier arrived and attacked Yukari. Akira managed to fend him off, but it became apparent that Yukari had been infected.

Despite Akira's efforts, Yukari urged him to leave her behind, confessing her love for her job despite her misgivings. Akira reluctantly departed and encountered Kencho, who had successfully procured an 8K widescreen television. As they made their escape from the area and returned to their hideout, Akira reflected on the words of Kencho and Yukari. He decided to add a new item to his bucket list: to remember his childhood dream. The episode concluded with Akira resuming his game of playing a zombie-themed video game.
