What Happens in This Episode
Moroha challenges Russia Headquarters to a fight on Lesya’s behalf. With Edward’s support, they arrive in Russia. PopRot tracks this installment around the immediate conflict, the way Moroha’s dual memories affect the solution, and how Satsuki, Shizuno, or the wider Strikers react to the pressure. The episode should be watched in order because character motives and Savior hierarchy details build directly from earlier scenes. This stretch also pushes the story from Akane Academy into the Lesya/Russia thread, raising the stakes from school competition to international Savior control.
