‘The World Ends with You’ is a survival anime developed from Square Enix and Jupiter’s urban fantasy role-playing online game of the same name. It tells the story of social recluse Neku Sakuraba, who finds himself participating in a reapers’ game. He later learns that he is dead, and if he wins, he will have the chance to resurrect or transcend into a higher-level being. Each week, Shiki teams up with a partner and tries to complete his missions under a time limit. And like many other games, this one requires an entry fee: the thing that the player considers most precious to them. The anime premiered on April 10, 2021. Here is everything you need to know about its upcoming episode.

The World Ends with You Episode 12 Spoilers
In episode 11, Neku and Bitou follow Shou into the tunnel. The latter tells them something that he has figured out: Mitsuki is currently hidden in Bitou’s shadow. She comes out and makes a deal with Shou. In exchange for letting him pass, he will give her Kitaniji’s job after he defeats the Composer. Neku and Shiki try to follow Shou, but Mitsuki prevents them from doing so. They ultimately defeat her and free both Shiki and Raimu.
They later find Shou heavily battered and bruised. Kitaniji appears and takes control of Shiki with a red pin. He then transforms into a dragon and attacks. Bitou helps Neku with his last bit of strength to win against the Conductor. Afterward, Kitaniji reveals that he is the one who is controlling the minds of people and reapers alike. He is apparently a player himself. Kitaniji then bonds with two Noises and transforms into a three-headed dragon. In episode 12, Yoshiya might show up, and Neku will likely partner up with all three of his previous collaborators to defeat the Composer.
