Episode 24 of Summertime Rendering is right around the corner, and fans are eager to see how the series' conclusion will be set up. Shide has been a mystery ever since he was revealed to be a shadow, that too, one that had two bodies. While we all believed that Haine was the one orchestrating everything, with Shide being the muscle, it seems like we were totally wrong.
In the previous episode, Ushio revealed how she was able to look into Shide's desires. She saw that he wanted to destroy the world. While the reason itself hasn't been revealed to us, fans can be sure that Haine has nothing to do with it. For now, we can assume she has joined the group, similar to other shadows like Ushio and Mio.

What to expect from Summertime Rendering episode 24?
Summertime Rendering Episode 24 will focus on the final battle against Shide, as he plans to destroy the whole world. While Shide has been painted to be a sinister figure, he must have had a reason for choosing this path. This is something the final two episodes could focus on.
Meanwhile, Shinpei, Ushio, Ryuunosuke, and Haine are yet to figure out Shide's real location. Is he in Tokoyo with them or back in the real world? However, they did figure out that, unlike Shide in the real world, the one in Tokoyo's body could be destroyed. This could have been a huge opening for the group, but only if Ushio hadn't fainted after attacking him.
What happened last time?
Summertime Rendering episode 23 titled Eternal Night, saw Shinpei and Ushio following Shide to Haine's homeland, during which they got separated. While Shinpei was looking for Ushio, he took the time to get to know Ryuunosuke and eventually became one with him, similar to how Hizuru had given Ryuunosuke control over her body.
In their search, they were able to find Ushio, but soon Haine appeared from within her. This version of Haine wasn't hostile to the group, as she herself wanted to save her other half, Hiruko.
That's when Shide appeared above them by manifesting an air-raid attack that Hiruko had witnessed during her time. Haine and Ushio coordinated with their abilities to take on Shide. While Ushio wasn't able to defeat him head-on, she chose to hack Hiruko, who was implanted on Shide's shoulder to stop the air-raid attack. As they were falling down, Ushio fainted in mid-air.
