EPISODE REVIEWS

The arc begins with overwhelming scale and urgency, immediately shifting into crisis mode. The atmosphere is dense and oppressive.

Episode Context

Episode 8 marks the official launch of the Shibuya Incident arc, the defining conflict of Season 2, following the atmospheric setup of 'Evening Festival' where the veil over Shibuya was cast and the trap was sprung. Everything from the Hidden Inventory flashback arc through the transitional episodes has been building toward this moment. The battles and moral stakes introduced here escalate sharply in the episodes ahead, making this the critical entry point for the season's most consequential stretch.
