Ep 11. Countdown

In episode 11 of Date A Live season 1, titled "Countdown," the stakes are higher than ever as the approaching date of the world's destruction looms closer. Shido and his team of Spirits must act quickly to prevent disaster.

The episode begins with a flashback to the previous episode where Kotori was revealed to be the First Spirit, who had inadvertently caused the world's destruction before. Shido is shocked to learn this and tries to talk to Kotori, but she refuses to listen and disappears.

As the countdown to the world's destruction continues, Shido and his team try to gather information and come up with a plan to stop it. They learn that Kotori, along with the other Spirits, holds a piece of the Sephira crystal, which is the key to stopping the destruction. But they also discover that Ratatoskr, the organization they work for, has been keeping secrets from them.

Meanwhile, Kotori struggles with her inner turmoil as she realizes the true extent of her power and responsibility. She seeks advice from a fellow Spirit, Kurumi, but their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a mysterious girl named Miku.

Miku, a new Spirit who controls sound, reveals that she has a piece of the Sephira crystal and offers to help Shido and his team. However, she also reveals that she has an ulterior motive for doing so. Miku wants to use her power to control everyone's thoughts and create a world where everyone loves her.

Shido and the others are wary of Miku's intentions, but they decide to work with her for the time being as they need all the help they can get. They set their plan in motion: Shido will use his ability to seal the Spirits' powers, while the others will protect him from any interference.

The plan seems to be working until Miku turns on them and joins forces with Origami, a fellow member of Ratatoskr, who has her own agenda. Shido and his team are left reeling as they try to come up with a new plan.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger as the countdown to the world's destruction reaches its final hours. Shido and his team must race against time to stop it, but with Miku and Origami's betrayal, the odds seem stacked against them.

Overall, "Countdown" is a tense and suspenseful episode that ramps up the stakes for the series finale. The addition of Miku adds a new layer of complexity to the story, and her betrayal raises the stakes even higher. Fans of the series will be eagerly awaiting the conclusion to see how Shido and his team manage to save the world.
