Tokyo, Japan – Fans of the critically acclaimed anime series To Your Eternity were treated to significant plot developments with the release of Season 3 Episode 10, titled “Pretending to be a Human,” which aired on December 6, 2025. The episode, which debuted at 11:45 PM JST, has since become available on various international streaming platforms, including Crunchyroll, further deepening the ongoing conflict between Fushi and the enigmatic Nokkers.
The third season, which premiered on October 4, 2025, sees Fushi navigating a modern-day setting, a stark contrast to previous arcs. Episode 10, in particular, proved to be a critical turning point, offering revelations that reshape the understanding of the Nokkers’ true intentions and Fushi’s evolving mission.
Key Developments in “Pretending to be a Human”
Episode 10 picks up after the emotionally charged events of Episode 9, “Rejected Life,” which focused on Mimori’s internal struggle with a Nokker possessing her body and Hirotoshi’s determined efforts to save her. The latest installment reveals that the “Mimori Nokker” was defeated and sent back to “Paradise” by another Nokker residing within Mizuha’s classmate, Fuuna. This discovery prompts Fushi to declare his unwavering resolve to annihilate all Nokkers, vowing not to return home until his mission is complete.
Fushi Confronts His Ancient Nemesis
A major highlight of “Pretending to be a Human” is Fushi’s long-anticipated reunion with his enduring nemesis. This confrontation promises to unravel the long-standing purposes of both the Guardians and the Nokkers, a conflict that has spanned centuries. The complex nature of these revelations leaves Fushi even more conflicted, adding layers to his already challenging journey.
The episode also delves deeper into the Nokkers’ evolving tactics. It is revealed that they are not only taking over the bodies of the recently deceased but are also cohabiting with living individuals, seizing control of their hosts’ bodies at will. This allows them to commit heinous acts while the primary consciousness remains unaware, a chilling new dimension to their threat. While the Nokkers attempt to justify these takeovers by claiming they only target those who wish to die, this explanation is contradicted by their actions, suggesting they exploit mental and emotional instability for their own gains.
Broader Context of To Your Eternity Season 3
To Your Eternity Season 3 is anticipated to consist of 22 episodes, divided into two cours. New episodes are typically released on Saturdays, with English subtitles and same-day English dubs available on Crunchyroll. The season marks a significant shift as Fushi awakens in a modern Japanese era, exploring new challenges and philosophical themes within this “New World” arc.
The anime adaptation, produced by Studio Drive and STUDIO MASSKET, continues to draw from Yoshitoki Ōima’s popular manga series, which concluded its serialization in June 2025. With the manga having ended, Season 3 is highly speculated to be the final season of the anime, aiming to adapt the remaining “New World” and “Mimori” arcs. This suggests that the current season will lead to the franchise’s finale, bringing Fushi’s immortal journey to a poignant close.
Fans can continue to watch To Your Eternity Season 3 on Crunchyroll, with Episode 10 now available for streaming.
