Network Crisis and Resolution Arc
Arc Summary
The second half of the film enlarges the conflict. The World is no longer just an online fantasy environment; it becomes a visible symptom of a real network emergency. Student-player scenes and investigator scenes begin answering the same question from different sides: what happens when a virtual system affects daily life?
Story Impact
The resolution arc is where Sora’s growth pays off. She is not powerful because she has the longest history with the franchise; she matters because she chooses to act after understanding the human cost of doing nothing.
