It reminds one of a dark and twisted Nagisa (Free!!), but holds more depth than that. Likewise, Saito, Soma takes Twelve's character and does his own this with it, bringing the street smart, energetic boy to life (also played Tatsumi ). The voice is deep and silky like velvet, but hides a certain weakness under the dark tones. Ishikawa takes Nine's sadistic, yet kind and insucure personality and molds a new voice for this character. The three main voice actors of this series open the audience to a whole new world of desperation, solitude, and hope. Ishikawa, Kaito plays the brilliant, but shut off Nine, a genius hacker and brilliant mastermind (also played Harutora ). The police are powerless to stop these children - who shouldn't even exist - from pulling the trigger on this world. As terrorists, they go by the name of "Sphinx," uploading videos to tell where the next attack will be. "Zankyou no Terror" is a story about two odd teenage boys, Nine and Twelve. I don't know what expectations I had for this anime, but it sure exceeded any thoughts about it swirling around in my mind.

Declaring that this is the final message from Sphinx, Nine unmasks himself and bids the people of Japan farewell."Zankyou no Terror" is a terrifying thriller that will resonate with your soul. The Japanese airwaves are then hijacked by a prerecorded message from Nine: as his plans for the press conference were disrupted, the countdown for the atomic bomb's detonation has begun. Knowing that she is dying, Five admits her love for Nine, begs him to live for them both, and gives him a brief kiss before committing suicide by detonating the spilled gasoline from her car. After killing her assistant for attempting to stop her, Five confronts Nine and confesses that she always wanted to beat him but never could. Twelve interferes, but Five disables his motorbike before stopping the truck carrying Nine. Enraged and desperate, Five leaves to pursue Nine herself. Five's men pursue the police convoy carrying Nine to the press conference through Shuto Expressway, only to find that the truck is a decoy. When Twelve hears from Lisa that Nine has surrendered, he attempts to forget about Sphinx in his shame for betraying Nine, but Lisa convinces him to help Nine like he helped her. Five, who has been hospitalized due to her deteriorating health as a consequence of the Athena Project experiments, learns of Nine's surrender and desperately sets off to try and reach him. Shibazaki visits Shunzo Mamiya, who confesses that he created the Athena Project as part of a plan to revitalize Japanese national morale following the nation's defeat at the end of World War II. He refuses to speak to anyone but Shibazaki, but later relents and issues a demand for a press conference at a specific location at 8:00 p.m., or he will activate the atomic bomb prototype. Nine goes to the police headquarters, dons his Sphinx mask, and turns himself in.
