Ep. 9: Zolzal attacks using refugee acceptance as pretext while Itami faces assassins

9

Zolzal exploits the Japanese government's decision to accept refugees as a justification for launching an attack. At this critical moment, foreign media personnel are present within the Special Region. Despite the escalating danger, the government has explicitly ordered that the embassy remain open and not evacuate. Simultaneously, Itami and his team are targeted by assassins who launch a sudden assault on their group. The narrative highlights the convergence of political maneuvering, international media presence, and direct violence against the main characters as they navigate this volatile situation without the protection of evacuation orders.
