In Episode 8 of Zombieland Saga Revenge, we finally got to know Yugiri’s backstory. In Meiji era (1881), Yugiri was a courtesan. She left the capital and came to Saga after a client bought her.
There she met Kiichi, a young man who was passionate about restoring the name of Saga in the map of Nippon. It is then also revealed that Kiichi is friends with Itou for eight years.
Kiichi’s father got shot in the Saga war eight years ago, so his grandfather took him in and asked him to save Saga. Later that night, when Yugiri, Kiichi, and Itou were having dinner together, Itou asked Kiichi to marry Yugiri.
We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 9 Preview & Speculation
In Episode 8 of the Zombieland Saga Revenge anime, I assume we saw the girls and the policeman’s ancestors, but we didn’t see Kotaro’s. Kiichi is voiced by Miyano, who also voiced Katoro. Does this mean he is Kotaro’s ancestor?
This got me to think that what if Kiichi is Kotaro’s great-great-grandfather or something. And what if Yugiri is Kotaro’s great great grandmother. That would be crazy!
Itou’s probably the main guy that stood out to me the most this episode, even though it’s meant to be a Yugiri backstory. He has something to do with the political situation going on then, but that whole conversation about Kiichi makes me wonder about his true intentions.
Itou might be the one responsible for Yugiri’s death.

3. Episode 8 Recap
Long time ago, in Meiji era (1881), Yugiri was a courtesan. She leaves the capital after a client buys her. Her new home is the former Saga castle town. But, after some time, the government official who redeemed her suddenly falls ill and dies. As a result, she inherits some of his assets, good enough to live the rest of her life peacefully in the city of Saga.
Around the same time, a rowdy young man devoted to the cause of re-storing Saga shouts about his mission in a busy market and distributes the pamphlets. He gets caught by a policeman, who addresses him as Kiichi Momosaki.
The policeman takes him away, but a man named Itou comes to his rescue. Yugiri sees one of his pamphlets on the ground and picks it up.
It is then revealed that the government wanted to convert Saga prefecture into Nanchi prefecture in that era. In Meiji 9, Saga was divided into Mizuma and Nagasaki prefecture. And this is how Saga got lost on Japan’s map.
During the Cherry blossom season, Kiichi sees Yugiri for the first time and falls head over heel. Itou tells Kiichi that Yugiri is a legendary courtesan who came to Saga last year. He also warns him not to fall for Yugiri.
Kiichi goes to Yugiri’s house to return her comb. Yugiri accepts the comb and asks him to return as being seen near Yugiri’s house will ruin his reputation. However, Kiichi replies that he doesn’t care and faints in the middle of their conversation because of the fever.
In the next scene, Yugiri takes a box of herbal medicines to Kiichi’s house. There she meets his grandfather. Yugiri says that she is grateful as that was the first time someone visited her other than her dance disciples.
Kiichi reveals that his father got shot in the Saga war eight years ago, so his grandfather took him in. His grandfather asked him to save Saga. Later that night, Yugiri, Kiichi, and Itou have dinner together.
Itou asks Kiichi to marry Yugiri. On listening to this, Kiichi turns red and faints again. Yugiri realizes that what Kiichi wants to get back is not the old name but a new revived Saga.
The following day, some people respond to Kiichi’s pamphlets. Meanwhile, an old man dressed like a beggar in shabby clothes reads the pamphlet as well. The episode ends here.
