Chapter 15: Adversity! Curses! Pinches! So, What?!

'''Chapter 15: Adversity! Curses! Pinches! So, What?! (逆境！呪いも、ピンチも、それが何！？', Gyakkyō! Noroi mo, pinchi mo, sore ga nani!?'') is the fifteenth chapter of the spin-off manga series of Zombie Land Saga, titled “Zombie Land Saga Side Story: The First Zombie”.

Synopsis
The battle against the Giant Spider Sagako. This is the Busters' last chance to save Saga.

Plot
Tae is determined to stop the Sagako, even if she has to do it alone. Eikichi feels that he must do something, but at the same time he knows that the fate of Saga rests on Tae's shoulders. Knowing that he cannot stop her, he requests that before they kill the Sagako, they try to talk to her. Even if Tae doubts that it can be done, Eikichi senses that there is someone after the Sagako. Eikichi's words make Tae remember what Yuko told her a long time ago, that the Sagako have a purpose for which they exist. While she doubts it will work, they have nothing to lose by trying.



The Sagako appears behind both of them, surprising Eikichi, but not Tae, who immobilizes the Sagako from a fit after distracting her with the photo of her parents. Still immobilized, the Sagako manages to attack Eikichi and Tae, leaving Eikichi injured in the leg. It is there that Eikichi yells at the Sagako, trying to talk to her and find out her motives. The Sagako answers, but her words are unintelligible. Already in a final attempt, Eikichi shows her an onion and approaches the Sagako. When the Sagako touches the onion, she immediately gets scared and confused, attacking again. Eikichi notices it, but they can't do anything else. After all, all they can do is fight. Even with their attempts, they failed to learn the purpose and motives of the spider Sagako, so the only thing left for them is to run for their lives.



Surprisingly, Anna, Hanako, and the other Sagako join the battle. The Sagako had previously helped Anna and Hanako escape from Magatsuhi prison. It turns out that Yuko's love for onions with Sagako inside had passed her feelings to these now purified curses. And thanks to Eikichi having put a blanket to keep them warm, Sagakos would have “hatched” from the onions. Eikichi questions if it was that easy all along with his sister's onion, but Hanako tells him that maybe what she needs is to feel her brother's feelings to break free.

Now, it's time for the final battle. This is where it all ends. It's time to break the curse of the past.
