The Elusive Samurai
As Sadamune focuses his attention on Tokiyuki's blind spot to hinder his
attempts on landing a shot, Tokiyuki exploits it through directly
shooting at his neck, staggering Sadamune long enough for Tokiyuki to
secure a win; Yorishige commands Sadamune to leave Suwa. Sadamune
retaliates by planning to confiscate parts of Suwa under an Imperial
Command, causing panic among its citizens. Yorishige tells Tokiyuki he
will be meeting a thief named Kazama Genba and work with him to steal
the Command. Following Yorishige's request, the Elusive Warriors head to
a village Genba is rumored to be staying, where Genba introduces
himself and works with Tokiyuki under the promises of earning more under
him. Genba and Tokiyuki head to Sadamune's mansion to steal the Command
as Genba takes issue with Tokiyuki's compassion for people. Tokiyuki
later sees Genba impersonating Sadamune to lure out the guards from the
warehouse housing the Command and Genba asks if he can be trusted with
his skill.
12:05 - 12:55 Frieren 21-22
F R I E R E N
Fern and her party consisting of Übel and Land manage to catch a Stille
and decide to lay back due to the threat from other mages who may want
to steal their bird. After discussing with Kanne and Lawine, Frieren
hatches a plan. They decide to freeze the lake within the testing
grounds while infusing smaller pools of water with mana. Because the
Stille are very sensitive to mana, leaving a single pool uncontaminated
ensures that the Stille will flock to it by default when they are
thirsty. Elsewhere, Denken's party observes the water freezing done by
Lawine. Denken determines that Frieren's party must have a plan up their
sleeves and decides they should pursue them to steal their Stille.
Another party consisting of Ehre, Wirbel, and Schraf ambush Fern's party
as they attempt to look for water and the two parties end up fighting
over the captured Stille. During this fight, Frieren suppresses her mana
near an uncontaminated pool of water and manages to capture an
unsuspecting Stille. Denken's party detects her casting magic and they
ambush Frieren's party to try and take their Stille.

2:50 - 3:40 Solo Leveling - Season 2 (1-2)
Plot Summary: Humanity was caught at a precipice a decade ago when the first
gates—portals linked with other dimensions that harbor monsters immune
to conventional weaponry—emerged around the world. Alongside the
appearance of the gates, various humans were transformed into hunters
and bestowed superhuman abilities. Responsible for entering the gates
and clearing the dungeons within, many hunters chose to form guilds to
secure their livelihoods.
Sung Jin-Woo is an E-rank hunter dubbed as the weakest hunter of all
mankind. While exploring a supposedly safe dungeon, he and his party
encounter an unusual tunnel leading to a deeper area. Enticed by the
prospect of treasure, the group presses forward, only to be confronted
with horrors beyond their imagination. Miraculously, Jin-Woo survives
the incident and soon finds that he now has access to an interface
visible only to him. This mysterious system promises him the power he
has long dreamed of—but everything comes at a price.
3:40 - 4:40 Look Back - Feature Presentation
Plot Summary: Ayumu Fujino is an elementary schooler with a talent for drawing manga, publishing yonkoma
in the school's paper, and revels in being lauded for her skills by her
peers and teachers. One day, however, her teacher asks for her to give
one of her strips over to Kyomoto,
a shut-in with severe social anxiety who longs to draw manga. Fujino
reluctantly agrees, but discovers that Kyomoto is a
professionally-skilled background illustrator who exclusively draws
scenic artwork in her yonkoma,
and demonstrates herself as the superior illustrator between the two.
Envying Kyomoto's abilities, Fujino throws herself into improving her
art skills, which leads to her alienating her friends and family as she
obsesses over overcoming Kyomoto. Over the span of a year, in spite of
improvements, Fujino fails to meet Kyomoto's standards and eventually
quits drawing, rekindling her social life.
When her class graduates from middle school, Fujino is tasked
with delivering Kyomoto's diploma to her. Fujino enters Kyomoto's house
and finds piles of sketchbooks. Finding a slip of paper, she draws a yonkoma
mocking Kyomoto, but it inadvertently slips under the door of Kyomoto's
room. Though a remorseful Fujino tries fleeing, Kyomoto - recognizing
the artwork - comes out of her room to meet Fujino, revealing herself as
a huge fan who had been following her manga in the school paper. When
Kyomoto asks why she quit, Fujino—flattered by Kyomoto's enthusiastic
idolization of her—claims it is because she has plans to submit manga to
contests. On her way home, however, she finds her creative spark
reinvigorated and decides to actually start drawing again. She even
invites Kyomoto to draw on the manga with her, and their eventual
one-shot wins the contest. Having become friends from this experience,
Fujino uses some of the prize money to take Kyomoto on a trip around
town; afterwards, Kyomoto thanks Fujino for giving her the motivation to
come out of her shell.
Through high school, the two continue to create manga under the pen name
"Kyo Fujino", submitting multiple one-shots that receive high praise.
After graduating, they are given a chance to be serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but Kyomoto declines as she wishes to get a formal education in art at Tohoku University of Art and Design. Upset at this decision, Fujino continues on without her, working on her manga Shark Kick as Kyo Fujino. Though it becomes very popular, publishing eleven tankōbon
and receiving an anime adaptation, the adult Fujino feels unfulfilled
without Kyomoto and cycles through assistants as a result.
On January 10, 2016, a man accusing Tohoku of plagiarizing his work commits mass murder there with a pickaxe, with Kyomoto being one of the casualties. Devastated, Fujino puts Shark Kick
on hiatus and returns home to attend the funeral, eventually entering
Kyomoto's house alone. Convincing herself that she had indirectly led
Kyomoto to her death by inspiring her to pursue an art career, Fujino
deems her art to have no value and tears up the mocking yonkoma she drew years ago. A scrap slips under Kyomoto's door, and seemingly time travels to the day when the two meet...
