Highschool of the Dead Episode 9

Part of Takashi and Saeko’s side adventure involves stealing yet another random vehicle they chance upon… But this time it’s an amphibious bike, of sorts.

So far, no zombies have been seen swimming.

Wait, if it’s an amphibious vehicle, they have got to try it in some body of water. Hmm… Water plus Saeko equals… fanservice.

Here's your dose of Saeko goodness...

Anyway, Takashi comes up with a plan to lure the zombies in one place in order for them to have a clearer path to Saya’s house. He drives the vehicle into a park fountain, and rigs it to keep going around in a circle. The racket it causes attracts the zombies around, and Takashi and Saeko take this chance to go forward.

Not a bad plan, actually.

However, as Saeko leads the charge, she freezes at the sight of some kid zombies…

Some traumatic experience?

Takashi ends up saving her, and he leads her away from the place. They decide to take refuge at a nearby temple, where they decide to pass the night.

Clearly still shaken, Saeko offers Takashi and explanation, and she recounts her past and what she says to be her true nature. Apparently she was attacked by a guy back when she was younger. She defended herself with her sword, and ended up breaking a few bones of his assailant. But the catch, as she mentions, is that she enjoyed dishing out the punishment on others.

Oh, so she's just your average sadistic girl. Should be no big deal...

So how does Takashi respond? It is implied that he kissed her, and then we don’t know if something else happens… Anyway, early the next day, they decide to leave the temple. However, as they find out, they place has been surrounded by zombies. Saeko is still quite out of it, so Takashi grabs her boobs and tries to cheer her on.

No clue what effect the booby grab has.

Takashi tells her that regardless of what darkness she has, he still looks up to her. And if she wants a reason to fight, he tells her to then fight for his sake. Some way or another, Saeko is spurred by what Takashi did, and using the katana they stole from inside the temple, she rushes forward and massacres the zombies.

She's enjoying it.

In the end, Saeko begins calling Takashi by his first name and she tells him to take responsibility…

So... is it implied they did something that night?

The episode ends with the two finally reaching Saya’s place. There goes your official Takashi X Saeko shipping episode.
