Zombie Land Saga Project

The **Zombie Land Saga project** (**ゾンビランドサガプロジェクト**, *Zonbirandosaga Project*) is Kotaro's mystery project to save Saga from The Curse of SAGA.

Tatsumi explained that the girls who became “Legendary” in life were revived as zombies, and the plan is to save Saga as a new group of local idols in Saga, intending to make Saga recognized through tourism and avoid the depopulation of this. The details of this project are unknown.

## Description

It is a zombie idol project created by Kotaro Tatsumi, Franchouchou's mysterious manager. He plans to reunite a group of girls destined to save Saga Prefecture from oblivion who were killed by Saga's curse, a curse that prevents Saga from shining and will cause it to be forgotten. With the group of girls, Kotaro will do everything possible so that Franchouchou brings glory back to Saga and that it is not totally forgotten. Thanks to the fact that these are zombies, they cannot die from the effects of the curse, which makes them perfect for the plan since it constantly tries to kill them… even if they are already dead.

Jofuku is the one who is really behind all this and, as his appearances show since the 1880s, he has been looking for a new successor who is willing to save Saga prefecture. Kiichi Momozaki was one of the precursors of the project by saving Successfully saga from oblivion in the year 1883 and restoring and creating a new Saga thanks to the help of Yugiri. Tae Yamada is next on the list with her plan to save Saga from Sagako. And finally, Kotaro Tatsumi, who gathered a group of zombie girls to make sure there is something in Saga prefecture that is always associated with it and never disappears from people's hearts.

## History

### 1882

Kiichi Momozaki was the one who, without knowing it, would start with the legacy of saving Saga. Being chosen by Jofuku as Saga's savior after it disappeared from the world map after constant wars. Thanks to the help of Yugiri, Saga can be saved and Kiichi fled out of the curse's interference to other prefectures.

### 1989

Jofuku goes to the Saga Sagako Busters for their help to defeat the Sagako that torments Saga and thus prevent it from being destroyed and subsequently start an apocalyptic event on a global level.

### 2018-present

Kotaro Tatsumi (Inui) loses Sakura in a road accident, so he finds Jofuku and asks him to revive her. Years later, he started the current Zombie Land Saga project with a group of idols to save Saga.

## Objective

Saga prefecture is cursed, anyone who tries to make Saga popular is hampered by the curse and if this is not enough, the curse kills people through strange accidents.

According to Jofuku's prophecy, Saga Prefecture will disappear after the Reiwa Era, and it will be erased from people's minds after a cataclysm destroys the prefecture.

Kotaro started his zombie idol project to put the public eye on Saga so that it cannot be easily forgotten. Something that Saga can be associated with and never forgotten. The failure at EFS was mainly due to Kotaro's eagerness to complete the project before the start of the Reiwa era, but sadly, it failed and left Franchouchou a year behind to avoid the curse.

As a result, the curse has already begun to destroy Saga, and quickly the prefecture falls into oblivion. However, Kotaro does not plan to give up and will make Franchouchou's concert at the Ekimae Fudosan a national success. Keeping Saga relevant while gaining ground on the curse.

## Trivia

* The name of the anime, Zombie Land Saga, as well as the project, refers both to the saga (story) of the pop idol group consisting of zombies and to the prefecture itself.
	+ As such, each episode has the word “Saga” included somewhere in the title.
* It is revealed in Kotaro's “Episode 13” that the project has a set deadline. Although not much else is revealed apart from the fact that they are running out of time to do their work.
	+ It is confirmed that he was referring to the new Reiwa era that began in 2019 and that would mark the beginning of the end for Saga.
* Kotaro is being a victim of the curse by almost dying 3 times: drowned in the sea, crushed by a statue, and drowned in the bar.
* According to Jofuku, Kotaro started the plan twelve years before the events of the series. Meaning he immediately started the operation not long after hearing of Sakura’s passing away.
	+ Likewise, it is heavily implied that Sakura's death was the main trigger for Kotaro's entire plan.
