In episode 12 "The Last Escape," Mamoru embarks on a desperate race against time to find the kidnapped Konoha. His search leads him to the imposing Akihabara Stadium.
Meanwhile, Konoha is confronted with a shocking reality in a secret facility. There, she stumbles upon a horrifying operation where creative minds are imprisoned and their talents exploited by an artificial intelligence for game development. The architect of this dystopian nightmare, Glenn, CEO of Planet Games Japan, confronts Konoha with his twisted vision of exploiting human creativity.
Toya emerges as a key figure in this scheme. Torn between her former admiration for Konoha and her current predicament, Toya wrestles with her conscience. In a moment of self-sacrifice, she offers herself to the system, hoping to spare her idol from this cruel fate.
The narrative then shifts to a risky escape, where Mamoru locates Konoha. Mamoru's technical prowess comes into play as he seizes control of the facility's security robots, turning them into allies during their flight.
As they near what seems to be the end of their ordeal, Glenn and his guards corner them in a dead end. Just when all seems lost, an unexpected and surreal intervention occurs. A UFO-like object appears.
