Ep. 23: The finals erupt into a chaotic battle royal as alliances shift and unexpected betrayals unfold.

23

The final round begins with an intense battle royal where Ban and Jin initially target each other. Yujin’s interference forces Ban to reconsider his strategy as the five finalists clash. Yujin and Yuuya attack The Emperor Mk 2, while Masquerade J fights Achilles. A file is secretly transferred to Achilles with a warning. The Innovators activate a special mode in Yuuya’s control suit, which overrides his brain and causes him to rampage. Yuuya destroys Masquerade J and Bibinbird X, eliminating both from the competition. Realizing Yuuya is in danger, Ban and Jin set aside their rivalry to team up. The Emperor Mk 2 creates a smokescreen, allowing Achilles to use his Lightning Lance finisher to eliminate Judge and free Yuuya from the suit’s control. Yuuya collapses, halting the competition for medical attention. Ban questions Jin about his connection to Yuuya, but Jin refuses to answer and declares their final battle must proceed.
