Akira has returned alive after defeating Beta, but soon Tokyo is targeted by a large-scale hacking attack. He dives into the network along with Ygg's clones to figure out the cause, and fights the enemies within, but in the meantime the hacking spreads to the entire world.

It takes over military bases and fires a volley of ICBMs, seeking to destroy the entire world. In order to save humanity, Akira makes a decision born of love.
The next hour or so was an extremely
strange time to experience.
كانت الساعة التالية وما قاربها
وقتاً بمنتهى الغرابة
Die darauf folgenden Minuten
waren ein höchst eigenartiges Erlebnis.
Los siguientes diez minutos
fueron muy extraños.
Los siguientes diez minutos
fueron muy raros.
Les quelques minutes
qui suivirent s’avérèrent singulières.
Le decine di minuti seguenti
 furono dei momenti estremamente bizzarri.
Senti algo muito estranho
naqueles minutos que se seguiram.
Весь следующий час прошёл
невероятно странно.
