3

Shamrock determines Sakuya is a partial lost one due to her hand's system absorption. She notes Eri's real-life improvement during a game invasion, suspecting corrupted data targets large events. Tobias investigates a forum post, witnessing players feel pain and encountering massive data bugs. Iori is pulled into the event, leading defenses until Sakuya arrives. Sakuya accidentally deletes a bug with her lost hand, aiding escape from an animated statue. Hermit causes chaos by deleting a player and destroying an airship. Shamrock detains Geek, showing him footage of the destruction and hacking the crest gun. Hermit reveals Sakuya is awaited and messages her about Eri's location in Megin Fi. Shamrock ties Sakuya up and sends Tobias to Megin Fi to find the heart controlling the issue. Tobias is captured by Eri, while Sakuya breaks free and rushes toward the chaos gate.
