I Left My A-Rank Party episode 12, picked up from the ending of episode 11, depicts the Clover Party's encounter with another undiscovered monster in the eerie dungeon town. Nene, the party's scout, volunteers to gauge the monster's abilities.

Although Nene’s skills made her an exceptional scout, the monster managed to put her in a trance-like state and lunged to attack. Fortunately, Yuke and the rest of the Clover Party countered the monster's assault and saved her. Eventually, they managed to exterminate the monster, with Marina delivering the final blow.

Shortly after, Yuke decides to take a break to discuss their current situation and gather intel about the town. During the break, Marina reveals that her abilities indicated the monster they struck somehow felt like a human. Rain and Silk also note that the spirits and mana were acting abnormally within the dungeon town.

Yuke then decides to seek out Loge and investigate further. Although they manage to find Loge, he disappears again, only mentioning that the eternal twilight glow present in the town is tied to the strange events. Eventually, the Clover Party returns to the surface and begins investigating the dungeon.

Yuke is suddenly called back to the camp due to a commotion. The mysterious girl they rescued from the Duna dungeon had begun floating midair, emitting the same twilight glow as the dungeon. She reveals that the dungeon town is part of a different world, and the glow signals the upcoming culling now threatening Yuke’s world. She then tells Yuke he is the hero chosen to stop it and should pursue Loge for more answers.

Later, a Duna Academy director arranges a meeting with Yuke to discuss a secret held by the kingdom. The episode ends with the director urging Yuke to give his all to stop the culling.

Final Thoughts

I Left My A-Rank Party anime episode 12 finally confirmed the hypothesis around dungeons being gateways to a different world. Although Yuke displayed his unusual abilities since the first episode, episode 12 also confirmed his status as a hero. I Left My A-Rank Party anime episode 13 will be released on April 13, 2025, and will mainly focus on Yuke's plan to stop the upcoming apocalypse.
