All Aboard is the anime's ninth episode, closing out this stretch of the Lab Arc. Shin and Heisuke team up against the invisible Seba as the facility collapses, while Sakamoto pours his full strength into a brutal fight with the near-unkillable Kashima.
Summary
Cut off from Sakamoto in the Lab's lower levels, Shin squares up against Kashima's underling Seba. Fighting a foe who can turn invisible proves brutal, until the sharpshooter Heisuke arrives to even the odds, and the two take Seba on together.
Higher up, Sakamoto steps in ahead of ORDER's Shishiba and Osaragi to face Kashima himself, the man commanding the takeover. As the facility begins to come apart around them, Sakamoto throws everything he has at an opponent whose body has been turned into a near-unkillable living weapon.
Key Events
Shin and Heisuke combine forces to overcome the invisible Seba. Sakamoto intercepts Kashima so that Shishiba and Osaragi can press onward.
With the Lab collapsing, Sakamoto unleashes his full strength against Kashima and brings the confrontation to an explosive finish.
Notes
Rounding out this stretch of the Lab Arc, the episode adapts the closing pages of chapter 27 through chapter 31.
The adaptation reshuffles several moments, such as showing Sakamoto hurl Kashima into a garbage truck in place of a manga scene involving an ambulance, and shortening Kashima's flashback about meeting Slur. Hashire Sakamoto opens the episode and Futsu closes it. It first aired on March 8, 2025.
