The title 全修 means "Complete Repair"
The first character 全 zen means complete.
It's not the same character as in zen meditation, which would be 禅, but identical sound could be used in a pun, as I'll show later.
The second character 修 shu in Japanese, in Google Translate is only defined as "repair".
Wiktionary gives more meanings: discipline, conduct oneself well, study, master
According to Wiktionary, it's also the character for a version the Japanese male name Osamu, although this character was not used in the names of classic mangaka and animator in Tezuka Osamu , 手塚 治虫, nor classic anime director Dezaki Osamu 出﨑 統.
I'm sure there are other famous anime Osamu's, but those two come to mind with that name.
The Osamu reading of shu could be one of those Japanese double-entendre puns, like saying "Totally (like, or not like) Osamu (Tezuka or Dezaki)"
Or adding the riffing on the zen sound to mean the meditation we get "Zenned out (like, or not like) Osamu (Tezuka or Dezaki)"
Or I could be completely over-interpreting everything.
