A brief recap of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 15

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 15, titled The Reaper’s Sacrifice, opens with Nene, Hanako, and Akane entering the Boundary of the Sixth Wonder in search of Aoi. The episode then rewinds to earlier in the day during preparations for the school sleepover.

Kou struggles with how to save Nene and fulfill his promise to Mitsuba, not sure which to prioritize. Yokoo and Satou notice his mood and try to cheer him up, while Mitsuba watches quietly from a distance.

Later at night, Mitsuba finds Kou alone and asks what's bothering him. Kou, afraid that Tsukasa might manipulate Mitsuba again, tries to reassure him. Their conversation is interrupted by a scream. An apparition is attacking someone. Kou and Mitsuba take it down, only to realize the victim is Natsuhiko.

While Kou finds him weird and tries to leave, Natsuhiko brings up Nene and her short lifespan. He hints at knowing how to extend a life, information he’s willing to trade in return for Kou’s help in capturing the Sixth Wonder.

Back in the Boundary, Nene and the group search for Aoi, but the area is eerily empty. Aoi's bamboo basket suddenly begins to glow, and moments later, she appears. She seems to remember them and says she slipped away to greet them. But Hanako is suspicious; she shouldn’t have been able to evade the Sixth, and she can also see Hanako, which is odd.

As they prepare to leave, Hanako admits he doesn’t know the way out. Aoi then offers to guide them and brings them to what she claims is an exit, which turns out to be a trap, the Boundary’s trash pit, a place no one escapes. Nene falls in, and Hanako jumps after her. Akane, who suspected something was off, wasn't caught in the trap.

It becomes clear Aoi is working with the Sixth, though she insists this is her choice. She tells Akane that it's to fulfill her wish to disappear to a faraway place, and she'll do anything to achieve her goal. She says she doesn’t need Akane and attacks him using creatures from the pit.

Akane defeats them, saying this wish of hers is the only one he can’t grant because he loves her. She tells him to stop loving her, and one of the insects stabs him. Still, he refuses to give up and jumps into the pit with her.

Meanwhile, Natsuhiko joins Kou and Mitsuba for a sleepover. Since the Sixth comes for souls when people fall asleep, he wants to use this chance to catch the School Wonder. Once Mitsuba drifts off, Natsuhiko reveals to Kou that the key to long life lies with the Sixth's powers, the Grim Reaper, who controls life and death.

The Sixth is shown reviving a bug Kou had eliminated, proving his power over death. The episode ends with the revelation that the oracle’s (Aoi's) fall, Aoi’s descent into the far shore, was part of the Sixth’s plan all along.

Now that the Sixth has confirmed the pit leads to the far shore and no one returns from it alive, the stakes are higher than ever, and the danger for the group is only intensifying.

The upcoming episode may also reveal Natsuhiko’s true motives and why he’s seeking the Sixth Wonder's powers. At the same time, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 16 may see how he will proceed to save Nene as he now holds a vital clue that could alter her fate.
