Not sure if it's Malshina's scheme or not though (I did think it was at first). Don't see what benefit getting Akiba Red minus the transformation device is.

Plus, it looked like in the preview there were some suited Americans there - to me that indicates that there might actually be some truth to the whole "Pentagon" thing. I could see them wanting to use his ability to bring things out of the delusion universe for military applications.

And it's looking like Malshina's falling out with Dr Z for that matter. Have to kinda wonder if she'll end up defecting for good, and we end the series with her and her "sister" making up or something.

Another observation - when Malshina says they have 40 more bosses on the payroll, I chuckled... then it hit me the other day that 40 more would be enough for a 50 episode run, basically. So it's a double-layered joke that pokes fun/justifies the brevity of the series.
