- May 19, 2016
In season 1 episode 7 of Kuromukuro titled "The Daybreak Disappearance," we see the aftermath of the previous episode's battle. The Efidolg attack proved to be more challenging for the UN forces than expected, leaving many casualties and the members of the Kennosuke's team separated.
The episode begins with Yukina waking up in a destroyed building to find that she is trapped under some rubble. After freeing herself, she starts looking for other survivors and comes across an injured soldier named Li. She helps him out, but they are soon ambushed by an enemy.
Meanwhile, the UN forces are trying to regroup and assess the damages. The Efidolg's attack left their defenses vulnerable, and they fear another impending assault. They're also trying to locate the members of the Kennosuke's team who got separated during the battle, including the AI-driven mecha, Kuromukuro.
Kennosuke and Sophie, who were last seen battling one of the Efidolg's most powerful mechas, are nowhere to be found. The UN forces are assuming the worst, thinking the pair was killed in action.
But, unbeknownst to them, Kennosuke and Sophie were sucked into a portal and sent into an unknown dimension. It's a place where time moves slower than it does in their world, which means they've now been missing for months. They are wandering lost in this new world, searching for a way back home.
Back in the regular world, the UN forces initiate a search and rescue mission to locate Yukina and the others. They manage to find her and several other survivors and begin evacuating them back to the base.
Meanwhile, on the Efidolg's side, we see that their leader, Lady Muetta, is becoming increasingly suspicious of their mission and their ultimate goals. She's starting to question the Efidolg's methods and whether the alliance they've formed with a rogue faction of humans is really worth it.
As the episode progresses, we see the characters' different paths and how they converge. The UN forces are preparing to mount another attack on the Efidolg, who are retreating but not without leaving a trail of destruction. Yukina, who is now safely back, is trying to reach out to Kennosuke to update him on their situation. Lady Muetta is getting closer to uncovering the Efidolg's secrets, and Kennosuke and Sophie continue their journey in the unknown dimension.
The episode ends in a cliffhanger, leaving us wondering what's going to happen next. The Daybreak Disappearance sets the tone for what's to come in this show, which is a mix of mecha battles, time travel, alternate dimensions, and political intrigue. The characters are multi-dimensional, and the plot twists keep us intrigued. It's clear to see why Kuromukuro is such a fan favorite amongst anime fans.
