Adabana Necromancy

Adabana Necromancy (徒花ネクロマンシー, Adabana Nekuromanshī) is the opening theme song for Zombieland Saga, performed by Franchouchou.

Details
The opening of Zombieland saga begins with Sakura in a dialogue about how death is just the beginning of something else, showing us absurd images of zombies chasing Sakura.

The rest of the opening is just as strange, it shows us Franchouchou in a kind of anime sentai, to give way to a monster that comes out of the ground and catches Sakura, to then be defeated by the girls by a laser beam.

The opening is portrayed in chapter 26 of the manga, giving more details about it, the chapter begins with Sakura leaving her house like the first chapter, the difference is that instead of being run over by a truck, she is surprised by the beast that catches her, then franchouchou arrives who use special abilities of Saga to rescue franchouchou, in the end thanks to the power of friendship Sakura joins the team and defeats the monster with an attack that invokes lightning from the earth, the Saga city is also appreciated being destroyed and the building of the teaser trailer in the foreground, indicating relationship between Revenge and the opening, the chapter at the end is just a sketch that Kotaro presents to the Saga public relations office to make a movie.

[Sakura] saga [All] SAGA~ Japanese= 誰が弔う 死地は彼方 静寂を破り 芽吹いた夢を 誓え 穿て 重なる 屍 高みへ 届くまで

唸れ 徒花 朽ち果てても進め 奪わせはしない 尊厳の愚弄に 飢餓を解き放て 枯れても走ることを命と呼べ 空に叫ぶ 脱・生存の定義 骨を斬らせて 闇を断て 雲間に光る 簒奪の勝機 覚悟を 宿命に突きつけて 天下に狂い咲く サガ SAGA

傷ひとつ無い 手など愚か 意思も自由も その身を投げて 守れ 退くな 涙も 血も無い 神話を 築くまで

燃えろ 修羅花 鼓動亡き世界で 摂理に抗い 天命も無礼に 腐鎖 切り抜けて 心を無くすことが死と知れ 極めど儚い 偶像の寵児 目には目を剥き 牙を剥け いつか誰もが 散華する捨て石 輝け 刹那無限の火花 乱世に迸る サガ SAGA

何が神の冒涜か 裁きなどさせない 希望 高らかに打ち鳴らせ 呼吸よりも生きた証

唸れ 徒花 朽ち果てても進め 奪わせはしない 尊厳の愚弄に 飢餓を解き放て 枯れても走ることを命と呼べ 空に叫ぶ 脱・生存の定義 骨を斬らせて 闇を断て 雲間に光る 簒奪の勝機 覚悟を 宿命に突きつけて 荒野を駆ける 乱世に挑む 天下に狂い咲く サガ SAGA English= ​​Beyond a death that nobody will mourn A dream that has sprouted breaking the silence

Swear and be true Until you can reach toward the height of the pile of corpses

Moan fruitless flower Advance even if you rot and crumble into dust Unleash your hunger on those who ridicule a dignity that can't be taken away Life is to keep on running even if you die It is the definition of an after-life screamed into the sky Slay the darkness even if you are made to cut through your own bones

​​​​​​​It is the rebellion's chance to win that shines in the rift between the clouds ​​​Thrust [your] resolution at fate It's a saga that blooms unseasonably throughout the whole world. SAGA

​​​​​​​It's absurd to have a hand without a single scratch throw away your will, your freedom, and your body

​​​​​​​Protect it, Do not retreat, Until we build a myth without tears nor blood

​​​​​​​Burn Carnage flower in this lifeless world. Rudely cut your way through the chains of rot Know that losing heart is the end Although idols may be masters [of their craft], they are transient Open your eyes in order to see, and bare your fangs!

​​​​​​​Someday everyone will be a sacrifical pawn falling like a flower Glow! Spark of a momentary eternity It is a saga surging in troubled times SAGA

​​​​​​​What is blasphemy? We are not allowed to judge. Make hope ring out loudly; more so than breathing, it is proof that we lived

​​​​​​​Moan fruitless flower Advance even if you rot and crumble into dust Unleash your hunger on those who ridicule a dignity that can't be taken away Life is to keep on running even if you die It is the definition of an after-life screamed into the sky Slay the darkness even if you are made to cut through your own bones

​​​​​​​It's the rebellion's chance to win that shines in the rift between the clouds Thrust [your] resolution at fate Dash through the wastelands! Challenge troubled times! It's a saga that blooms unseasonably throughout the whole world. SAGA English dub= ​​Within the burial ground, stillness is limitless And yet a dream blossoms forth, breaking the quiet and the calm Enchantment is granted Clawing the earth, you rise above, finally saved And out of the grave

Oh, flower barren of fruit Though you may wither, the story blooms No matter what they might say, you’re still unbroken Unleash the hunger deep within!

Real life defined by your will To keep on running when you’ve been spent A brand new path has been opened up before us No time for giving up, keep fighting on each day

Our future lies ahead, it’s shining in the distance Destiny calls, so answer with determination Blossoming, the story begins: saga Saga!
