Why do aliens invade Saga in the Zombie Land Saga movie?
From the production side of the film, the post-credits scene was left as a gift from director Sakai for a sequel. It was proposed to treat the final UFO shot as part of a Franchouchou video clip and simply discreetly remove the entire alien theme. However, the entire team agreed to face him directly, without running away from him.
Now, from the canon side of the series, this question does have an answer confirmed by the directors:
This is because Saga's curse unleashed a curse on the Saga EXPO, as karmic destiny dictated that the event was going to bring great prosperity to Saga. Since the curse only takes the form of things that exist in Saga, and the EXPO had a Science and Outer Space theme, the resulting curse takes the form of an alien invasion.
However, this does not end here. In an interview on Mantan Web on October 25, 2025, it is mentioned that there are marshes in Saga, and producer Nobuhiro Takenaka had the idea that aliens would come to Earth searching for those tidal marshes. The idea was that the marshes would be a suitable environment for aliens and that they would invade Earth with the plan of turning the entire planet into marshes.
Director Ishida ends with something revealing: the aliens make the hilarious mistake of attacking the Saga prefecture, confusing its geographical shape with that of the American continent. So that means, basically, aliens are spiritually Americans…

The first time (as far as we know) it was destroyed by Magatsuhi's curse in 1989. The second time was after floods in 2020, and the third time by a flying saucer in 2025.
Each time, it has been rebuilt a few months later. The funny thing is that the second time it's rebuilt after the flood, it reverts to the decrepit and abandoned appearance it had before, despite only standing for five years.
