Tokyo, Japan – The twelfth and final episode of the anime series “Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra: World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin,” titled “The Moon is Beautiful” (also translated as “The Moon is Pretty, Isn’t It?”), premiered on September 21, 2025, delivering a “peak and heartbreaking” conclusion to its season. Available for streaming on Crunchyroll, the episode saw critical plot developments, including a devastating sacrifice and the emergence of powerful new threats.
A “Scripted Event” Leads to Tragic Loss
Episode 12 plunged viewers into intense emotional and narrative territory as Maria and Caria were abruptly transported to the midst of Isla’s battle against the seemingly resurrected antagonist, Flamin. Despite previous defeat, Flamin reappeared, taunting the protagonists and revealing a meta-narrative twist: the events unfolding were part of “RPG mechanics,” a “scripted event” that dictated Isla’s unavoidable demise.
In a moment described by fans as both poignant and brutal, Isla made the ultimate sacrifice, shielding the twins from Flamin’s devastating attack. In her final moments, she transferred her powers to Maria and Caria by compelling them to consume her heart, a harrowing act that forever changed the sisters.
The Rise of the “Witches of Regret”
Isla’s death profoundly impacted the twins, fracturing their souls and pushing them into despair and madness. Consumed by grief and trauma, Maria and Caria underwent a chilling transformation, emerging as the “Witches of Regret”. With their newfound, terrifying powers—derived from Isla—they quickly and brutally dispatched two enemy generals, demonstrating their immense and destructive capabilities.
Throughout the episode, the anime leaned heavily into its “game-like systems,” with the antagonist Flamin even referring to the protagonist, Takuto Ira, as a “player” and lamenting being forced to replay his death scene by higher powers. This meta-commentary on the nature of their reality added a unique layer to the tragic events.
Takuto’s Next Move and Fan Reactions
As the twins, now formidable and unhinged, marched towards the enemy stronghold, Takuto commanded his loyal unit Atou to retrieve them, highlighting the unpredictable and perilous direction the story has taken.
Fan reactions to Episode 12 have been intense, with many calling it a “peak” but “heartbreaking” finale that dramatically elevated the series. Viewers were particularly struck by the twins’ tragic transformation and the shocking nature of Isla’s sacrifice, acknowledging the show’s willingness to embrace dark and complex narrative turns. The episode successfully set the stage for future conflicts, with the transformed twins posing a significant, unpredictable threat.
