Trillion Game [Season 1 Episode 25]

Trillion Game Episode 25: A Thrilling Climax and a Masterclass in Ambition

The final stretch of Trillion Game’s first season has arrived, and Episode 25 delivers everything fans could ask for—high-stakes drama, sharp social commentary, and the kind of chaotic energy that only Haru Tennouji and Gaku Taira can bring to the table. As the series barrels toward its one-hour finale (combining Episodes 25 and 26), this penultimate installment doesn’t just set the stage—it lights it on fire.

The Plot Thickens (and Explodes?)

The episode picks up with Trillion Game, Inc. making a bold move to take over God Promotion’s shareholder meeting. But the real meat of the story lies in Haru’s grand plan for Kawara TV, a struggling independent network. Haru’s vision? To turn it into a legitimate news platform that can attract big-money sponsors—while still maintaining the chaotic, viral charm that made Trillion TV a hit.

Fans on MyAnimeList were quick to dissect the episode’s themes, particularly the critique of corporate sponsorship in media. One user noted: “This is an episode that critiques corporate sponsorship of news. Fair enough! I bet [Akari] will read the phone defect report, and it’ll go viral, compensating for any losses.” And they’re not wrong—the episode’s tension hinges on a hilariously absurd (yet oddly genius) plot point: an exploding phone case.

Yes, you read that right. An exploding phone case.

The Exploding Phone Case: A Symbol of Chaos and Genius

The phone defect scandal becomes the linchpin of the episode, with Kawara TV’s fate resting on whether Akari—Haru’s reluctant ally—will expose it. The absurdity of the situation isn’t lost on fans. One commenter joked: “Maybe I’ve got brainrot, but the exploding phone video was way funnier than it had any right to be.” Another added: “That’s why it’s so cool they were able to do both—comedy and high stakes.”

It’s classic Trillion Game: taking something ridiculous and turning it into a masterstroke of strategy. Haru’s ability to spin chaos into gold is what makes him such a compelling protagonist, and Episode 25 showcases this perfectly.

Haru vs. Kunugi: The Battle of Wits

The episode also delves deeper into the rivalry between Haru and Kunugi, the latter of whom has his own agenda for Kawara TV. Kunugi’s plan is purely profit-driven, while Haru’s vision is more nuanced—he wants legitimacy for Trillion TV but isn’t above using underhanded tactics to get there.

Fans loved the dynamic, with one pointing out: “Haru coming clean on his motives toward the executives of Kawara TV is peak Trillion Game. He’s playing the long game, and Kunugi’s just realizing it.”

The Flash-Forward: A Glimpse of the Future

One of the episode’s standout moments is a flash-forward showing Gaku being mistaken for a playboy by the media—a hilarious callback to earlier episodes. Mizuki advises him to use their own news service to deny the rumors, but Gaku’s reaction (and Haru’s smirk in the background) suggests this might not be the last we see of this subplot.

Final Thoughts: A Season Worth the Hype

As the episode ends, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will Akari expose the phone defect? Will Kawara TV survive the fallout? And most importantly—will Haru’s gamble pay off? Fans are already clamoring for a second season, with one commenter pleading: “Another great episode that deserves a second season. Let’s all pray for one!”

With its sharp writing, unpredictable twists, and a finale that promises to be explosive (literally?), Trillion Game has cemented itself as one of the most thrilling anime of 2024. Whether you’re here for the business drama, the chaotic humor, or just Haru’s unshakable confidence, Episode 25 delivers on all fronts.

Now, bring on the finale—because if this episode is any indication, we’re in for a wild ride.

Final Rating: 9.5/10 – A near-perfect setup for what’s sure to be an unforgettable conclusion.
