EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 13 marks the exact midpoint of the 26-episode run and serves as a critical turning point — the corporate conflict with God Promotion that has been building since the preceding episodes, particularly 'Two Bad Guys,' reaches a decisive flashpoint. This is the fulcrum of the season's first major arc, bringing Trillion Game, Inc. into direct confrontation rather than maneuvering from the sidelines. The fallout here leads directly into 'Haru vs. Gaku,' suggesting the corporate battle spills over into personal territory between the two leads, raising the stakes for the season's second half.
