1"take 01"Yūsuke SekineKento Shimoyama Shin Ōnuma, Gōichi IwahataOctober 13, 2021 (2021-10-13)
A rescue team searches the forest in the area of Asylum in Antarctica for missing members of their group and finds a survivor apparently sleeping. However, he has been infected by Randolph Syndrome and changes into a monster, and attacks the team. At Research City Southern Cross in southern Australia, Shigure Daniel Kai is one of the applicants for a job as a "Sleeper" for Arctic Front in Asylum, hoping to become a hero. At the Arctic Front base in Asylum, Commander Kruger, Chief Solvy Sveien Grasse Bea, and Commander Vera Rustamova approve Daniel's application and appoint him to Platoon Unit 11 with the Sleepers Sumire, Reika and Larry. He goes on his first mission with Leslie Blanc, Larry, and Reika, monitored back at the base by the Sanity Anchor Sumire Motiki. Sumire detects a magnetic field distortion, and a "Scarred" appears, a huge animal similar to those found on the surface, but mutated by some unknown factor in the Asylum. The Sleepers attack and defeat it with their advanced weapons, but Daniel fails to act. They are called on to assist the rescue team being attacked by the transformed member affected by the Randolph Syndrome. Daniel finally rises to the challenge and helps Leslie destroy the monster.

While still out on patrol, Sleeper Platoon Unit 11 comes under attack by another Scarred monster, this time from below the sand. Sumire Motiki uses her instruments to detect when the monster will next appear and orders Daniel to fire, but he widely misses the mark. Back at the base Sumire heavily criticizes Daniel's poor performance, leaving him wondering what his talent really is. During clean-up duty, Daniel discovers that Sumire was formerly a pop idol, but she refuses to talk about it. Later he apologizes to her for raising the issue and acknowledges his own failings. Soon Platoon Unit 11 is given orders to deal with the same Scarred, but this time they use a different strategy, with Larry as bait and they successfully kill it. After the operation, Sumire admits to Daniel that she became a Sanity Anchor because she did not qualify to be a Sleeper. Later, Commander Vera offers Daniel a mission involving an assassination.

A leader is shown giving a speech where he suggests that although Randolph Syndrome may devastate humanity, it also presents opportunities. Larry invites Daniel on a trip to the town where they encounter thugs beating on a young dealer. After they save him, the dealer asks if they can collect seeds from the Vista Pazza tree which grows in the Asylum. Larry agrees and persuades Daniel to accompany him on a clandestine sortie into an area of the Asylum which is like an oasis. While there, they encounter one of the exiles who leads them to a Vista Pazza tree. Larry reveals to Daniel that he wants to explore the Asylum himself, hoping to learn more about Randolph Syndrome. Suddenly they are attacked by a flying Scarred which seems to be after the exile girl who is called El-Cee. Daniel acts as a decoy so that El-Cee can escape, but he and Larry are cornered by the monster. Fortunately, Leslie and the rest of Sleeper Platoon Unit 11 arrive to rescue them, but back at the base, they are severely reprimanded for going AWOL. The experience convinces Daniel that he should take the assassination mission offered by Commander Vera, however, he then discovers that the target is El-Cee.

On their next mission into Asylum, Sleeper Platoon Unit 11 encounters an exile and Leslie fights it off with their excellent sword fighting skills but afterward admonishes the others for not helping out. Later, the rest of the team wonders about Leslie's past and they track down some old images of Leslie together with Vera. Leslie invites Daniel out for a drink, but Daniel is lured out and then ambushed by three Cultist Exiles. When Leslie goes out to help, Leslie is confronted by Hayden, an old associate who is after Daniel. Leslie tells Daniel to escape, but the youth is cornered by a young girl called Nadia, commanding two vicious rabbit-like animals. Daniel escapes from them and returns to help Leslie who has been shot in the arm. It appears that Hayden knows about Daniel's mission to kill El-Cee as he is intent on capturing her himself.
5"take 05"Jun'ya KoshibaKento ShimoyamaJin TamamuraNovember 10, 2021 (2021-11-10)
Sleeper Platoon Unit 11 are again challenged by a Cultist, but before the others can fire, Daniel accurately shoots and destroys it. Hayden reports to his superior who savagely beats him for failing to capture Daniel, inferring that he would not fight his former lover Leslie, and orders Hayden to capture El-Cee at any cost. Meanwhile, Platoon Unit 11 members discuss how to get Daniel and Reika Kobato to work together when Daniel always appears to be awkward around her. They decide to have a team BBQ and send Daniel and Reika shopping together for food. The pair encounter Nadia who sets her rabbit-like animals onto Daniel and are then attacked by a Scarred of human appearance. Despite initially trying to act independently, Daniel and Reika eventually cooperate to kill the monster and discover later that they share a common interest in anime.
6"take 06"Yūsuke SekineKento ShimoyamaKōji SawaiNovember 17, 2021 (2021-11-17)
Vera meets with Nicholas Kruger who gives permission for the El-Cee mission to proceed. Platoon Unit 11 prepares for its mission with only Leslie and Daniel knowing its true objective is to assassinate El-Cee. Before they leave, Vera gives Leslie an engraved ring and a silver necklace for good luck. Meanwhile, a celebration to honor El-Cee as the "Child of God" begins in a grand mansion in the Exile village of Ruois. Leslie leads Platoon Unit 11 into the village where his plan is to lead El-Cee to a window where Daniel can shoot her, and he gives Daniel a note in case they become separated. Leslie, Larry, and Reika infiltrate the party dressed as servants, but their presence is detected by Hayden who subdues Larry and attacks Leslie. Leslie escapes and notifies Vera that their plan was leaked, but she refuses to call off the mission. Reika manages to lure El-Cee to a window by setting off a fireworks display, but Daniel hesitates to pull the trigger. Instead, he saves Leslie instead by shooting off Hayden's arm thus thwarting the mission. The Sleepers flee, however they are pursued by a spider mech. Leslie lures it away, but just as he successfully defeats it, Hayden shoots Leslie's flying device with a sniper rifle causing him to fall into a smoke-filled abyss.

Leslie's body is retrieved for burial, but Vera seems uninterested. Meanwhile, Hayden reenters the mansion in Ruois and takes the guests hostage in an attempt to capture El-Cee who was earlier taken to safety with Master Karateka. Daniel offers to help pack up Leslie's belongings and after Vera tells Daniel that the plan is still going ahead, Daniel searches for the good luck charm Vera gave Leslie before the mission, but he cannot find it. Platoon Unit 11 is given a new mission into Ruois, and this time Vera leads them. They arrive at the mansion which is now deserted but Vera finds the ring she gave Leslie. They encounter the villagers who have been released, but who are now under attack from many Scarred. The platoon opens fire, but Vera is much more effective when she attacks the monsters with a Scythe-like weapon. After being rescued, chief Jiryo shows Vera their sacred ruby-colored pyramid crystal containing a ring which was to be given to El-Cee at the ceremony. He gives it to Vera after she offers to take the treasure to El-Cee. When the platoon returns to base, Daniel tells Vera that agrees to proceed with the plan to assassinate El-Cee.

Following Vera's failed mission to kill El-Cee, she is reprimanded by the Antarctica Front Steering Committee and warned not to jeopardize the organization. Daniel questions Leslie's waitress friend about the note Leslie gave him in the village of Ruois which contains a set of numbers. Meanwhile, Ron Blake and his team who are guarding El-Cee split up to make it more difficult for Hayden to capture her. While looking at Leslie's collection of photos, Daniel enters the set of numbers on the note which retrieves a photo taken on a Platoon Unit 11 mission, but the location is unclear. Later, on the next Platoon Unit 11 sortie into the Abyss, Vera leads Daniel to a spot where he can shoot El-Cee, and he recognizes it as the location shown in Leslie's photo. There he finds the silver necklace from Vera and Leslie's notebook, including a note, addressed to his potential successor. All three groups, the Cultist Exiles, Hayden, and Platoon Unit 11, come under attack from Scarred while fighting each other and trying to achieve their own objectives. Eventually, El-Cee remains in the hands of the hands of "Iceman" who is aware that Vera has the power to make time repeat.
9"take 09"Nobutaka ChikahashiKento ShimoyamaKōji SawaiDecember 8, 2021 (2021-12-08)
Vera is again called before the Steering Committee and warned that it is her third and last chance to succeed. She reviews her current situation; the Iceman recognizes that she has the power to make time repeat and although she selected Daniel because of his sniping ability he is still immature. Daniel requests a meeting with Vera and she suspects that he wants to withdraw from the mission and is prepared to agree, however when he asks her to join the others in a BBQ, she blurts out "yes" and immediately regrets it. The team arranges it so that she has little opportunity to avoid attending by taking control of her schedule. On the pretext of buying food, Daniel visits the Asylum to read Leslie's notebook and find out more about El-Cee, but still returns in time with the food. Vera is late for the BBQ but she does join the team for the social occasion, however, she later tells Daniel that she is removing him from the platoon.
10"Re:take"Kōki OnoueKento ShimoyamaKubo ShibaDecember 15, 2021 (2021-12-15)
Daniel awakes from a dream with his suitcases packed to leave. He is called before the Steering Committee who says that he was removed from duty because of his unauthorized entry into the Asylum. Daniel joins the platoon for farewell drinks, but after being pressed for details about his intentions, he goes out for air. He finds Vera's associate who is dying after being shot by Nadia and he tells Daniel that Vera has been set up to get the Aruka ring. Nadia assists Hayden to locate Vera and obtain the ring he is looking for. Hayden wounds Vera and reveals that he knows that Vera has repeated the El-Cee assassination mission a number of times, but it has always resulted in Leslie's death. Daniel suddenly appears and disarms him, but Hayden escapes with the ring after setting off a series of diversionary explosions. Vera then gives Daniel the ruby-colored pyramid crystal, the Acura, which has a secret power while she had successfully convinced Hayden that the power was in the ring. Daniel prepares to fly out to Argentina but returns to headquarters and finds Vera and the others out on a mission in the Asylum. He tracks them down to a church and finds them all dead, but then again wakes up in his room with his suitcases packed beside him.
11"Revolution"Jun'ya KoshibaKento ShimoyamaKubo ShibaDecember 22, 2021 (2021-12-22)
Daniel feels that he is re-living recent events; he goes out again for farewell drinks with the platoon, but modifies his actions which slightly alter the events during which he meets Vera's agent, travels to the Asylum and encounters Hayden and Iceman, where Larry and Reika fail to kill El-Cee who transforms into a monstrous Scarred killing everyone. He gradually comes to the realization that since Very gave him the Acura crystal he has had the power to repeat events, and that Vera's obsession to kill El-Cee and prevent the 6th Great Extinction is an attempt to kill her younger self. The final reenactment of this series of events leads to the complete destruction of the Antarctic base in an eruption of fire. However, Daniel again wakes up in his room and realizes that Vera has experienced these events many times before and is desperate to stop the cycle from repeating itself.
12"Resolution"Yūsuke SekineKento ShimoyamaKōji SawaiDecember 29, 2021 (2021-12-29)
Daniel explains how the Acura gives him the ability to repeat time to his comrades, and they join him to defeat Nadia and Hayden who then throws himself off the top of the building. Daniel then confronts Vera with the knowledge that she is the future El-Cee, who has been vainly trying to kill the young version of herself to prevent anyone from obtaining her destructive power. Platoon Unit 11 heads into the Abyss to prevent Iceman from merging with El-Cee, and Vera joins them. Iceman begins the process, but the transformation is incomplete and he becomes an unstable tentacled monster. He grabs Vera to prevent her from dying and repeating the past events, unaware that Daniel now has that ability. In a last-ditch attempt to break the cycle, Daniel thrusts the Acura into the center of the beast, destroying it, but not before his body is pierced by multiple spikes, fatally wounding him. However, El-Cee is released and he passes the Acura back to Vera. As he dies and fades from existence, his essence is transferred into the crystal leading Vera to believe that he will return in the future.
