Chapter 2: Delivery! Onions Straight to Your Heart! (届け!君のハートにたまねぎストレート!!, Todoke! Kimi no hāto ni tamanegi sotorēto!!) is the second chapter of the spin-off manga series of Zombie Land Saga, titled “Zombie Land Saga Side Story: The First Zombie”.

Synopsis[]

The Sagako busters train Eikichi to become one of them. However, they receive a transmission from a mysterious man who claims to be Saga and that his prophecy of the end of the world is about to be fulfilled!

Plot[]

The chapter begins with Eikichi in front of Tae saying good morning. Tae responds by saying that the greeting is essential to have the respect of others. Eikichi recalls the events of the past few days and how he ended up at the mansion.

We have a flashback of Tae performing a ritual to communicate with the head of the Busters. Eikichi is confused as he thinks they are communicating with an alien. The television behind him turns on and a silhouette of a mysterious man appears, claiming to be Saga itself, and greets Eikichi. The video is a VHS tape and shows messages on the screen of the end of the world in 1999 and how the Sagako outbreaks are the beginning of the end for Saga Prefecture and the world. The tape begins to break down and the messages are no longer clear.

Anna says that it is due to Eikichi's interference, and he in response begins to bang on the television. Tae tells Eikichi that his training should start, and that his mother left him in the mansion to learn how to behave. Eikichi's training will be to exercise and do homework. Using a toy called Dr Zombie Paw, the Busters measure Eikichi's Misogi power. But this doesn't seem to work with Eikichi. After the apprenticeship, Eikichi now does the housework and Tae tells him that he will never look like his sister.

Onions can speak

Onions communicate with Eikichi

Returning to the present, Eikichi is sitting across from his onion sister, wondering how to be like her. He prepares to clean the bathroom, but Anna tells Eikichi that it won't help him and that he will need to know more about her sister in order to increase his Misogi level. Eikichi begins to study the onions further and understand them to the point that he can hear them, just like his sister.

In the afternoon, Eikichi goes out to buy some things. Tae says that if he were Yuko, he would leave everything perfect and make the house even cleaner. Hanako reproaches Tae for thinking that Eikichi must be perfect because obviously, he can't be like his sister. In the basement, Tae talks to Yuko's onion about Eikichi and how, even though he tries, he still has a long way to go. In Tae's flashback, Yuko as a child appears worried about Tae for fighting with Sagako, leaving her awfully injured. Tae worries about Yuko, since it appears that she was the only one who understood her and regrets that she did not protect her from the curse, seeing Eikichi as the way to make amends for her.

Love Sagako-big

The Sagako grows big and scares Eikichi

At the beach, Eikichi gets lost on the paths of the mansion and ends up where he didn't want to be. There he finds a rock with a peculiar shape, but when he picks it up he realizes that it is a heart-shaped Sagako that causes fights in the area. Being a little Sagako, Eikichi decides to seal it to make his new group proud, but his plan goes awry when Sagako shows his true form. Eikichi runs away from the place until she bumps into Tae, who was prepared and brings more onions for Eikichi to try again. Eikichi throws all the onions at the Sagako, and they finally seal the Sagako. Tae is proud of Eikichi, but she covers it up by yelling at him and compares him to Yuko again. Anna and Hanako arrive at the location and say that they look like a couple.

Eikichi asks himself how he will earn the group's respect, since he has a long way to go.

Trivia[]

  • The toy they use to measure brain waves is based on a real life toy called “Dr. Cat's Paw.”
    • Sensors measure brain waves. When your brain is relaxed, it emits an alpha wave that is detected and turns on the green bulb. As you begin to struggle to focus, the red light bulb lights up and a loud noise is produced, accompanied by a tape being played while being analyzed. It says things like “Breathe easy” or something like that.
    • In the manga, the device is used to measure people's power level.
  • It is Jofuku who has been pulling the strings all this time. From asking Kiichi to restore Saga, to asking the Busters to save Saga from the curses and Kotaro to save Saga from the curse while he fulfills Sakura's last dream.
  • Tae performs a ritual to turn on Xu's VHS tape, something completely unnecessary since the tape is already on the TV.
  • Tae's greeting is the same one that Kotaro uses in the first season to tell Sakura the importance of the greeting.
  • The Sagako that appears has the same shape as the statue located at Cape Hado, the place where Kotaro is going to perform a mysterious ritual.
