For a better elaboration of the plot; mankind's faith in the gods is challenged, and in order to restore their faith, a Jizo statue (or two if you're on two-player mode) is brought to life to spread the word across a number of stages set in Japan, China, Europe and America. Yopu shall be in control of an animated Jizo statue as you battle punk rockers, cape-wielding matadors, hostile chefs, businessmen in suits, Indian dancer ladies, the Yakuza, before fighting what was supposed to be some unnamed GodOfEvil.

[[caption-width-right:350:The flyer fails to capture the absurd levels of insanity this game contains. ''No flyer can do that''.]]
And just when you think it's impossible for Japanese video games to get any weirder.
''Zunzunkyou no Yabou'' is an arcade action game made by Creator/{{SEGA}} for the Sega System C2 system, following a single-screen RunAndGun format similar to ''VideoGame/SmashTV'', except you're an animated Buddhist statue on a killing spree.
…wait, let us start over.

Nope, the game doesn't really attempt to make any sense about all these. And there's not much of a plot either. This whole mess is to RunAndGun action games in the same way ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}'' is to spaceship shooters, and to it's credit, it's ''awesome''.

!! "Zunzunkyou!"
* BilingualBonus: The chef boss fight takes place in his kitchen, and the floor tiles are actually a plethora of multiple names of dishes, in Chinese Mandarin: 水晶桃包 (Crystal Peach Dumplings)，干贝珍珠球 (Scallop and Pearl Balls)，杏仁冻豆腐 (Frozen Almond Tofu)，中式煎饼 (Oriental-Style Fried Biscuit)，蟹肉鱼翅汤饺 (Crab and Sharkfin Dumplings)，西兰花炒带子 (Fried Scallops with Broccoli)，芝麻球 (Sesame Balls)...
* BlackKnight: One serves as a boss for Europe. Who can spame a DoppelgangerAttack on you splitting up to two and three copies of himself, as well as using his [[SHockAndAwe electrified shield]] to rain thunderbolts at you.
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: America's boss is a blatant ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' clone (likely based on ''Film/CaptainAmerica1990'' since the MCU isn't a thing yet) wearing an identical blue headgear with a star on the forehead, spandex outfit with the Stars and Stripes, the stage's background being a blown-up American flag. But he's absolutely ''not'' on your side.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Those sinister-looking black silhouettes who appears in the loading screen and some of the flyers? They're not in the game. Also the promotional materials hardly prepares the player for the insanity this game actually contains.
* DanceBattler: Several of your enemies use dancing moves to attempt side-stepping your attacks while taking potshots at you, including DIscoDan(s) in the disco area and Flamenco dancers in Europe.
* FacelessEye: One serves as the game's FinalBoss after defeating the four bosses in four countries. It initially appears as the world itself, before an eye opens up in it's center, and then it attacks.
* FakeLongevity: Defeating the four regional bosses and taking down the floating eyeball GodOfEvil doesn't end the game just yet - instead, you're sent back to the region select screen and told to replay all the stages, all over, including fighting the same floating eyeball. Defeat all of them a second time and you get the ''real'' ending of the game, which turns out to be... rather underwhelming to say the least. (see AWinnerIsYou)
* FlippingTheBird: The intro screen for America depicts a punk flipping his middle finger at the intro screen.
* LethalChef: One of the four bosses is a kung fu-fighting Chinese Chef who repeatedly spam [[FoodSlap dumpling projectiles]] at you.
* LivingStatue: You play as an animated Jizo statue for the entirety of the game. There's also evil statues in the area before the FinalBoss.
* MoneyMauling: The boss of Japan is, for some reason, a monk who flings ''Koban''-style coins at you.
* NoodlePeople: The Indian dancer enemies are hilariously skinny, and moves across the stage on ridiculosuly stringy limbs. Though they're not exactly human in nature, since some of them who need two hits to kill [[StrippedToTheBone lose their flesh and continues attacking as animated skeletons]].
* PandaingToTheAudience: Inverted - China has hostile panda enemies in one stage.
* SmartBomb: An available (but rare) special attack summons Buddha's help in rooting out infidels by spamming Buddha-shaped projectiles all over the screen, wiping out all onscreen enemies and damaging bosses.
* SpreadShot: Collecting a power-up scroll turns your projectiles into spreads of three.
* StrippedToTheBone: Some of the Indian dancer-ladies serving as enemies in the desert will lose their flesh after getting hit, only to continue attacking as an animated skeleton.
* TimeStandsStill: One of the power-ups causes the area's time to freeze for several seconds, allowing you to shoot down enemies easily.
* TitleDrop: At the beginning of each stage, the game's announcer will herald starting of gameplay with a loud "''Zunzunkyou''"!... the cue for you to start kicking ass.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Somehow none of the game's human enemies have any reaction at an animated Jizo statue with the powers of shooting energy bolts from it's hands attacking them.
* AWinnerIsYou: If you somehow manage to complete the game (completing all four regions and taking down their respective boss, then take down the FinalBoss before repeating the first four regions and fighting every single boss enemy all over again), you're then treated to the ending cutscene - a clip (consisting of ''two'' frames) of your Jizo statue looking at the sunset before turning around and flashing a thumbs-up gesture. THE END.
* WeaponizedHeadgear: Enemies resembling dancers in suits from the disco will throw their hats as a ranged projectile attack. And they somehow gain a new one instantly after each throw.
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: The boss of America, being a Captain America spoof, shouts the words "JUSTICE!" in an arc. Which can hurt you on contact.
* {{Yakuza}}: Japan have Yakuza enemies dressed in stereotypical black suits.
