What to expect from Lycoris Recoil episode 12?

Takina’s arrival entirely changed the playing field in Chisato’s favor at the end of the last episode. Chisato was completely helpless against the green-haired terrorist without any kind of light to help her avoid his attacks. Thankfully, she now has both the ability to see her opponent, as well as Takina, who will stop at nothing until Majima is down.
Lycoris Recoil episode 12 is almost certain to cover the final battle between our heroines and the deranged villain. However, fans still need to consider that Yoshimatsu may not be one of Majima’s victims, which means he could join the fight at any moment. The man has consistently tried to get Chisato to kill her enemies, and this could be the perfect opportunity to force her to do so.

The episode will most likely also focus on Japan’s reaction after learning about the existence of the D.A. and the Lycoris agents. We already had a small glimpse of what could happen, with a man shooting one of the girls after hearing what Majima had to say.
What happened in Lycoris Recoil episode 11?
Lycoris Recoil episode 11 started with Chisato and Mika getting ready to find Yoshi to save him from Majima and Robota. As they prepared, Kurumi searched online for a way to save Chisato, as Takina tried to decide if she wanted to continue being a Lycoris agent or help Chisato. Before the black-haired girl made their move against Majima, Takina deflected to save her friend.
With Takina gone, the rest of her teammates climbed up the new radio tower, where they were ambushed by vacuum robots that contained bombs. As this was happening, Chisato was fighting the green-haired man inside the old radio tower where they first met. The episode ended with Takina arriving to save Chisato from the terrorist.
