### Summary
The mission to save Lita Ma has escalated into a high-stakes crisis. Having sacrificially transformed into a monstrous, nest-like shelter to protect her brother Bota and their guardian Kana, Lita is now misidentified as a hostile leviathan and targeted by a worldwide harpooner mobilization. This global force is initiating a plan, controversially named "Burning Sun," to bomb her transformed state. This strategy is viewed as dangerously misguided, as a similar nest explosion is what originally unleashed the leviathans upon the world. Amid this impending large-scale conflict, which involves a power comparison between factions from Busan Union and New York, internal character dynamics are also being addressed. Following Bota's recent assertion of his maturity in the context of a contentious romantic subplot with Kana, another character named Mao has resorted to stripping naked as a clever tactic to prove he is not afflicted with a "fish virus." The narrative balances the imminent threat to Lita's life with the resolution of these personal conflicts and strategic posturing between the world's remaining powers.
