In Episode 8 of "Zom 100 - Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto," the story unfolds with a mix of action, humor, and cultural exploration. Akira, Kencho, and Shizuka are on a journey to fulfill Akira's list of 100 things he wants to do before becoming a zombie. They are accompanied by Beatrix Amerhauser, a German woman who is fascinated by Japanese culture.

The episode begins with the group agreeing to help Beatrix transport a fish to a sushi restaurant in Takasaki City. Beatrix reveals that she has always dreamed of coming to Japan and experiencing Japanese culture, and her current goal is to eat sushi prepared by a master chef. Akira, who also has "eat pork at a nice sushi restaurant" on his list, happily agrees to help her.

When they arrive in Takasaki, they find the city overrun by zombies. Akira and Beatrix, dressed in a shark costume and samurai armor respectively, lure the zombies away using a Walkman. They succeed in delivering the fish to the sushi restaurant, where they indulge in a feast. The chef, who has been in the business for 30 years, thanks them for their patronage and offers them plenty of sake.

After their sushi adventure, the group heads to a hot spring, another item on Akira's list. They arrive at the Kusatsu hot spring, only to find it infested with zombies as well. Akira and Beatrix attempt to lure the zombies away again, but this time their plan fails. Just as they are about to lose hope, they discover a secluded hot spring in the mountains.

During their stay at the hot spring, Shizuka talks to Akira about her fears and insecurities, particularly regarding love and relationships. She admits that she has always focused on work to avoid emotional pain. Akira listens attentively, and the two share a moment of understanding.

The episode ends with the group enjoying the hot spring and checking off another item on Akira's list. Despite the zombie apocalypse, they find moments of joy and cultural appreciation, fulfilling one personal wish after another.
