With the finale right around the corner, I was intrigued to find out what would happen. Needless to say, this episode didn't disappoint. The episode kicks off with a minor flashback to when Gai was first reawakened and Yuu is sitting there, informing him that he has been chosen as the new Adam since Shu has renounced the title. Yuu goes on to explain that it is the will of the human race to evolve and neither Gai nor Mana can stop it; Gai accepts the title only after stating that his battle isn't allowed to end as soon as he had hoped. Back in the current timeline, Gai is being informed that the U.N. is making contact with Ward 24 once again. As he gets ready to launch a counter attack, Inori asks Gai if he's saddened by what happened (she says she feels as if his heart touched hers briefly) but Gai denies being sad. In fact, he tells her that he has nothing to be sad about because his wish is about to come true. Meanwhile, the remaining Undertakers and their support groups are preparing to launch an attack on Gai with the help of the U.N. Turns out, Gai was bluffing when it came to the satellites and several of the group members are frustrated that they sat back and didn't do anything the whole time. Ignoring their frustration, they forge on ahead with their plan to take down Gai, stop the apocalypse and save Inori. Shu is busy taking some supplies into a truck while the others prepare for their entrance and he spots Ayase trying to get into the piloting chamber for her Endlave. She willingly asks him for help to get her into the seat and he obliges; Ayase confesses that she's worried about him and makes him promise that he'll make it out of there alive. Shu promises, though he doesn't seem to be confident in his promise. Not too long after that, everyone is preparing for their invasion of GHQ. Shu is, as expected, in the lead with Tsumugi, Haruka and the others behind him as backup. However, as they're preparing to leave, Gai is already in position to stop the forces from the U.N. He melds together three Voids and fires what looks like a huge, elaborate bow, which sends several hundred "arrows" shooting into the U.N. ships. As expected, these arrows then erupt with the virus and cause everyone in close proximity to become affected by it.
