Rena “The Rabid Dog,” a gunslinger; Tohka, a sniper; Chris, a demolitions expert; Murasaki, a spy; and their handler Haruto form SORD: Social Ops, Research & Development.

But when a terror attack strikes, Chris rushes into the fray, risking everything just like in her past. “This is even worse than we could’ve imagined...” “Two of the guys are dead! What happened? What the hell happened!?” “Y’know what it means to bring nukes into the country...?” “It’s scary, shooting someone for the first time... My legs are shaking.” “That fool... Is she trying to ruin everything!?” The death toll keeps on rising, but SORD are stuck watching helplessly from the sidelines. What destiny awaits Chris, Taiga... and Mihama Academy? “Oh, right... I must have died...” Duty collides with memory, and the spotlight turns to Chris. What sacrifices will she make this time? ____________ Crunchyroll Premium members enjoy ad-free streaming - 1,300+ titles, 46,000+ episodes, and simulcasts shortly after they air in Japan.
