In the immersive online game Planet, Ichi is a member of the formidable Akabane Family; but offline, his real life family is a dysfunctional mess.

After receiving a Declaration of War from the Pirates, Shiro and his sons go into enemy territory to discuss the matter with the Pirate Captain herself.

There's something strange about the monster the Akabanes are fighting against. Sensing danger, Shiro orders the family to log out immediately.

Pico makes an unexpected decision before breaking through the barrier and confronting Ichi. Then, a mysterious person pays Asuma a visit.

With players everywhere reeling, Shigatera reveals his true feelings and intentions. Then, Pico returns and demands an explanation.

Pico has been logging into Planet to escape her oppressively controlling mother. But then, Shiro tells her something that rocks her very foundation.

The Black Bird begins appearing in Shigatera's real life world. Taichiro and his mother visit Asuma in the hospital — and are shocked by what they find.

Taichiro and Asuma reveal some long-held secrets to each other. The mysterious woman appears again and warns Asuma not to log back into Planet.

Hana tells Taichiro and Asuma about their father's involvement in Planet, Black Bird and more. Then, Taichiro tells Hana about his younger sister.

The whole family has been infected and are now back in Planet, but this dark world is nothing like the sunny paradise they once escaped into.

Kojiro wants to see his family before they leave for a distant shelter, but Asuma tells him to stay away. Then, Sasumata asks Shiro a striking question.

As Ichi, Taichiro attacks a heartbroken and furious Leon. Meanwhile, Shiro tells Sasumata that he created them under a different name.
