Lazarus continues to build momentum as episode 12 prepares to air this week. The gripping sci fi anime from Studio MAPPA has consistently raised the stakes with every episode, and the most recent one ended on a tension filled cliffhanger that left fans desperate for answers. The upcoming episode promises to push the narrative even further as characters face some of their most difficult moments yet.
Lazarus episode 12 is officially set to release on June 22, 2025, at 11:45 pm Japanese Standard Time. In Japan, the episode will be broadcast on Tokyo TV along with other domestic networks. For international viewers, the English subtitled version will be available for streaming on Adult Swim and Toonami, making it accessible to fans across the globe at roughly the same time, depending on their region.
The previous episode left viewers on edge. Axel, one of the main characters, found himself in an intense showdown with a Chinese assassin reportedly hired by the NSA. The outcome of the fight was unclear, but the final moments suggested that Axel may have suffered a fatal blow. Fans are now waiting anxiously to find out whether he survived or if the series is about to take a dramatic turn.
With just a few episodes left in the series, Lazarus is setting the stage for a powerful finale. The show’s blend of cyber espionage, global politics, and emotional depth has kept viewers engaged since the first episode. MAPPA’s sharp animation and tight direction continue to add a cinematic feel that elevates the storytelling, making each new episode feel like an event.
Episode 12 is expected to answer major questions about Axel and Eleina while setting the tone for what may be the final confrontation. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, fans can expect high stakes and possibly irreversible consequences for the characters they have followed all season.
