by The TV anime “Twentieth Century Electric Catalog -Eureka Everyka-” is approaching its final episode, and the production team has revealed a new story visual along with comments from 13 cast members, including protagonist voice actor Yuma Uchida.
A special illustration drawn by director Minoru Ota has also been unveiled as part of a countdown project leading up to the finale. The newly released visual offers a glimpse of the dramatic events awaiting viewers in the final episode, titled “Towards the Desired Future.”
The final episode is scheduled to air on September 27, 2026, bringing the 13-episode Kyoto Animation production to its conclusion. The anime has also been available for worldwide streaming on Netflix.
With the story now entering its final stage, the cast members reflected on their experiences recording the series, their characters’ emotional journeys, and what makes the finale special.
New Story Visual Teases the Final Episode
The newly released third story visual features several important images from the upcoming final episode.
One of the most striking images shows Seiroku, the artificial being, with a mysterious light shining in his eyes. Another depicts Kihachi Sakamoto and Inako Momokawa from behind as they look toward the depths of an underground facility that has been damaged following the runaway electric brain incident.
The visual immediately raises questions about what Kihachi and Inako will discover and what role Seiroku will play in the conclusion.
The second story visual released earlier in September had already teased a mysterious blueprint, Kihachi’s investigation, Inako’s connection to her mother Naoko, Yosuke’s secret activities, and Seiroku’s involvement in the larger mystery.
The third visual therefore appears to push the story even closer to its central mystery, with the characters now facing the consequences of everything that has happened throughout the series.
Director Minoru Ota’s Countdown Illustrations
As part of the countdown to the final episode, director Minoru Ota is also releasing special illustrations through the anime’s official social media accounts.
The illustrations are being published daily from September 24 through September 27, leading directly into the finale.
The illustration released on September 24 features Suzu, Kate, and Yajiro, accompanied by a message indicating that only three days remained until the final episode.
The countdown artwork gives fans another opportunity to revisit the characters before the story reaches its conclusion.

Yuma Uchida, who voices protagonist Kihachi Sakamoto, said that the final episode arrived much sooner than he expected.
He recalled being shocked by the ending of Episode 12 and explained that he recorded the episode while wondering what would happen next.
Kihachi’s journey has been closely connected to the secrets surrounding Seiroku, his mother, and the mysterious Electric Catalog. As the story reaches its conclusion, Kihachi must finally face what has been entrusted to him and decide what kind of future he wants.
Uchida encouraged viewers to watch the final episode all the way through to discover what happens to Kihachi, Inako, and Yosuke.

Yō Daichi, who voices Suzu Harashima, reflected on how quickly the broadcast period passed.
During recording, Daichi remembered feeling excited about the eventual broadcast and wondering how audiences would react to the series.
