Blade Runner: Black Lotus Drops Preview for Final Episode
Blade Runner: Black Lotus has dropped a special preview for the series' final episode! The latest in a series of special collaborative projects between Adult Swim and Crunchyroll (following the likes of Fena: Pirate Princess last year) is gearing up for the premiere of its final episode, so soon it means fans will see just how Black Lotus fits within the rest of the Blade Runner franchise. While the episodes thus far have been demonstrating its ties to the rest of this long running world, the final episode will be the make or break moment as to where its story fits within the larger scope of the franchise overall.
Set to premiere on Saturday, February 5th at 9:00PM PST, Episode 13 (which serves as the final episode overall) of Blade Runner: Black Lotus is officially described as such, "Elle has fought her way to the top of the old Tyrell headquarters and is face-to-face with her creator at last. Will Black Lotus find the answers she is seeking? Or will she fall to her mysterious replacement, Water Lily?" You can check out the preview for the finale below as shared by Crunchyroll:

Putting together the pieces, she must hunt down the people responsible for her brutal and bloody past to find the truth of her lost identity."
