[@starstudios2959]

On an early note about the infection, it could be determined by bite mark placement, immune system and how fast his blood was circulating in his body. Seeing as Hisashi was holding his arm, he could have been applying pressure to stop the bleeding and cutting off what circulation he could. He could have a good immune system response as well so that would have aided him in fighting off the infection, unfortunately what I think made the infection kill him was all the running. Running from the undead is physically demanding and infections spread quicker if you're in motion, what they could have done to at least prolong Hisashi's life was have Takeshi carry him in someway or using Rei's uniform bow or a torn sleeve to make a better turnaquet

Honestly I think the writer didn't have an idea where the story was headed.

At 14:20 when they find the gun, revolvers typically aren’t ever equipped with silencers as the round is not in an enclosed chamber so the sounds aren’t funneled in one direction so a silencer wouldn’t do much of anything. I get it’s Japan and they have low crime rates but it does surprise me how a lot of police carry .38 special revolvers instead of 9mm magazine handguns. Never hurt to be safe imo

Tbh big and main reason Takashi's group survived was due to the fact that the zombies in their world were indeed walking corpses. They were totally blind, could easily be distracted by sounds and aside from their crazy strength, were slow and incredibly sloppy, unlike zombies from movies or games that could run, climb, and often even showed intelligence and fighting instincts. These zombies in this world were pretty weak tbh; which made sense, because a bunch of teenager wouldn't had survived against fast and crazy moving zombies. If the story ever continued, I could see humanity eventually making a comeback, taking huge advantage of the fact the zombies only react ed to sound. I also believe the blonde nurse's would eventually come true (the zombies rotting till they couldn't move).

One of the things I loved about HODT is how well balanced their group was. They had a- -Medic (school nurse) -Two brawler / close quarters (guy with a bat and girl with a sword) -Medium range fighter (girl with a polearm / spear) -Long ranger fighter (guy whose good with guns) -And a hoity toity rich gi..... I mean a strategist. (just kidding Takagi is my favorite character) I REEEEALY wish the author didn't die (rest in peace my G) and the story could have been finished. If this was made more seriously... with less fanservice and more grit this would have been one of the best zombie related shows ever made. Could you imagine this show with AOT budget and scope? Finally getting out of the city only to discover that it was some plot launched by terrorists...or an accident at some chem / bio lab... Spend a 6 month time skip training with the cops / military, the nurse's cop friend and Hirano's parents (if you pay close attention you to everything Hirano says he claims that when he was younger his parents took him to America where they ran training exercises with "special ops guys"..... Who the HELL are his parents to be training with spec ops?). The writer was setting this story up to be something AMAZING I could tell.

4:19 silencers wouldn’t help, they are commonly misrepresented in media as significantly lowering the sound to a small tapping noise however their primary purpose is simply to dull the sound so that it does not deafen the shooter if anything you’d want to make it louder so that it might deafen the zombies thus making them completely directionless or at least making your location less precise to the zombies

[@chrishubbard64]

Yeah but the problem then becomes widening the area that zombies are "activated" in and drawn to your general location. Honestly, the only time I would suggest guns as a effective tool for this type of zombie outbreak is if you can take over a gun and ammo shop and have enough ammo to handle the hordes your gunshots will bring in. Eventually you will kill all the zombies in earshot or your base will be broken into and you will get eaten. Either way, its going to be a LONG day.

[@NobodyDungeons]

So, one thing to consider is how the skin of an individual rapidly becomes a dark gray which could be useful to find out what is happening internally with the zombies. Examining our friends body is a good start, but ultimately we should be concerning ourselves with the immediate threat over the long term one. From information we've already seen age is likely a big factor in zombification time with the older teachers becoming zombies almost instantly while we see multiple younger students, not just our recently deceased friend surviving for much longer before turning. However, the most important part of this is finding a way to protect ourselves against infection first by finding out how strong they are because sure they are slow, but if they only have standard human levels of strength we should be looking to get our hands on some leather jackets or if that isn't available some bed liner along with other kinds of protection to prevent bites.

[@chrishubbard64]

I dunno, schools are huge and have several entrances and exits to fortify. Also tend to have plenty of ground floor windows for zombies to break through. If you have a large enough group it might work out but I prefer second story strongholds myself. Destroy the staircases so even if they get in zombies cant get up to you, and put together a ladder or other system for getting up and down at need. Those classic fire escape stairs for example would be excellent for stability. Dunno if they had setups like that in japan though.

I have some slight issue when you were talking about the gun more specifically the revolver. Too my eyes it appears to be a .357 caliber snub nose, which do to the fact of its stub nose which refers to the short stubby barrel it suffers in accuracy and power. The main character would have to get that close to the gangster to make sure he did not hit Ria and get enough power to drop the gangster.

Out of curiosity, have you read the manga or seen the anime? Cos the fat dude with a nail gun is actually a gun Otaku, and often names and describes the weapons he uses in-universe.

It's a .38 Special revolver, S&W Model 37 with polymer grips. But yes, a newbie trying to shoot a snubnose revolver with a heavy trigger isn't a good combo for a hostage scenario.

5:50 The zombie cases at the gate were bitten in places that had major arteries. Along the wrist and on the neck. Which may be why they turned as quickly as they did.

In HOTD it seems the animation part is quicker than the killing part.

so, the reason a lot of media don't call them "zombies" is because zombie is a term referring to a voodoo folklore and involves the practice of putting someone into a death-like state where their mind becomes incredibly suggestible. They were never intended to be undead and George Romero calling them zombies offended some cultures the word originated from.

Adding a silencer to your gun doesn't help /that/ much unless you use subsonic bullets too (it reduces the overall decibel level, but the bullet still breaks the sound barrier). Plus with that type of revolver the silencer would be far less effective either way.

On the splitting up to get on the bus idea, it would not work because a singular group may die and therefore either kill the rest and make them wait, or the first group would just leave because that is the most likely way to ensure your own survival.

I can understand how difficult it can be mentally and emotionally since they have the face and body of the ones you love, but when it comes to these situations you have to be full on ruthless and I don’t mean you have to be heartless but more, efficient such as if you see your family surrounded by zombies vs say a bunch of well equipped survivors and you have to pick one or the other or when even if it’s just a single bite you have to be ruthless enough to know that they are essentially a dead man walking. As for groups, small to medium sized groups are best due to their lower resources cost as well as maneuverability as well as the simple fact that the less people involved the less likely that someone is to mess up, also whenever searching make sure to travel in pairs or threes and always have an exit strategy

Essentially to create drama the military is always either 1 ass whopping in, quarantining the area where the show takes place without going in or just completely split up doing random stuff.

14:20, you can't add a suppressor to a revolver unless it's a Nagant revolver. Not just that, most revolver barrels aren't threaded for a suppressor and it's also Japan... one of the strictest countries in the world for gun laws. Also, the cylinder gap means most of the noise is coming from the gases escaping through there instead of the end of the barrel.

Honestly, I always thought that these zombies were super easy to beat. Just get some fireworks and lure them away, thats it. They are slow, sloppy and lack any heard mentality. Thats actually what I loved about the Night of the living dead: Realistic ending. A few people just kill all zombies around and over. The social commentary in the piece was a great bonus. Love this series though. Would have wished to see them reunited with their parents (that are still alive) but unfortunately not even the Manga got there. I wish there was less fan service. I do not mind it that much, but at some point it just got in the way of the quite good character development and social commentary.

“Undead zombies” Ah yes, the floor is made of floor

[@codym5352]

You failed to mention the OVA where they actually got on a boat and fled to an island off the shore of Japan. There's almost NO way the zombies could have smelled them from across what I'm pretty sure was supposed to be at least a 1 mile gap between Japan and the island. MAYBE they made their camp where the light from the fire was visible from the mainland which drew in the zombies. But due to the zombies being attracted to the shrine PLUS them somehow following the group across the ocean indicates the zombies have some other way of tracking people. Even if you chalk it up to mutated super smelling, even a dogs nose can't track a person across a salty ocean, they can barely keep a scent across a river if it gets too wide, how is a mutated human nose gonna get even better than a dogs? Maybe the zombies eyes changed to work based off heat signature of infra-red or something, but I don't think it's smell they rely on, Im sure it's one thing they use, but not the primary people-locator

[@hmsmikey7540]

The best way to survive a zombie apocalypse is to find an uninhabited island in the middle of the ocean and bring as many people that you checked first to not be infected and then drive a boat and as it seems that the zombies dont infect the animals just stay on the island for a few years and soon all the zombies would have rotted away or been eaten by animals there you go you just survived the zombie apocalypse

The fanservice was honestly so far over the top it became hilarious rather than annoying. So that didnt bother me much.

Okay, I read down a lot of comments, and no one is even challenging the "Can they smell?" I direct you to 8:44 as evidence that they do NOT in fact smell people. Look how CLOSE that zombie is! An at this point Takashi has sweat from nerves, running, and fighting, so I KNOW that boy smell stinky. There's no way that zombo didn't get a good whiff as he was walking by Taki. (I shall call Takashi that from now on.) Now, MAYBE the virus/infection evolved so they COULD smell later on, but I think there is a different thing at play here. In the words of good ol' Nuke (Nuke's Top 5)... "Did you see it?" The sun was directly behind all of the zombies. Earlier in the vid, you mentioned that the zombies weren't smart enough to seek shelter, but what if that wasn't quite true? Perhaps they felt the heat from the sun and were trying to get away from it, forcing that group to go up the mountain to Taki and Sae-bae. The zombo's had their first night time experience and suddenly, 🎶Here comes the sun, doo doo doodoo🎶 Maybe they learned that heat, SUCKS. Either that, or Taki and Sae DID get it on, and she (OR he!) is a screamer... but then why zombo's not mess up the afterglow? They have a group meeting and decide to let them rest first? Pssshh. Anyways... yeah. I Don't think those walking necrophiliac dreams were able to smell. ...that's all I wanted to say.

[@KyrexNuope]

How to beat Highschool of the Dead.... I've thought about this for years...and here's what I got. First, be a consumer of zombie media, literally, it's like a strategy guide for all types of undead. Second, cliche as it is, cardio. In this regard, I'd fail miserably, but it's not to out run the undead, it's to outrun the schmucks running with you. Third, small group of allies. Assuming this started and we're highschool kids, it's not necessarily hard to believe you'd have one or two homies. Apes together strong after all. But even if not, being with people you can trust will ease tensions, I'd say a maximum of ten so you can move in five pairs of splitting up is necessary Fourth, assuming you survived long enough to find out about their blindness and hearing, take it slow when dealing with the undead. Be the tortoise. And finally, this is the big one. Assume everyone outside of your immediate allied group is the enemy until you can confirm their intention, and even then, mentally separate yourselves.. your group is your 'family' the other group are just random strangers This will help you in nothing in life, but it would save your butt from becoming a tasty cake for a zombie down the line if these scenarios happened. Ah I almost forgot. Always save one round...you never know. Anyway, awesome video, great to see what you'd have us do to beat HOTD, and I can't wait for the next vid.

Not really easy to just add a silencer to a weapon especially a revolver.

[@Otgel]

you are probably one of the first people to die, a gun fired once can attract like zombbies in an 500 meter radius to ur direction, also just wear protection while fighting or learn how to run. using any form of guns is fuckin retarded, so use spears, blunts or crossbows/bows. silencers also barely make the weapon less loud, all it really does is reduce boom and echo.

@@Otgel try putting a silencer on an open revolver. Try covering your nose, eyes, mouth, and ears completely whilst maintaining melee combat effectiveness.

@@layzeejay1674 bro, surgical masks with ski glasses, or masks which dont absorb blood, ears dont matter that much because im not sure how blood would even get in there. the issue with ur "chancing" is that its basically guaranteed death, unless ur sure there are no zombies around, as soon as you shoot once 100 are surrounding you, also silencers barely make guns more silent, perhaps u wont alert an entire city, but u will alert an neighbour hood instead, im not sure what u dont get that its basically melee or die, guns sound easy to use, but they are a fuckin death sentence.
