BanG Dream! Ave Mujica EP12 Story

In a pivotal moment building up to the Ave Mujica reunion, Sakiko Toyokawa gathers the members and proclaims, “I will become God.” The internet immediately erupted in reaction, with fans posting comments like, “That twist came out of nowhere, I couldn’t help but laugh,” “Only this anime would have someone in a band say something like that,” “Let’s gooo! If they’re performing live, next week’s episode is definitely going to be legendary,” “A girl choosing to become a god of her own will—this is everything,” and “I worship you, Sakiko!”

The episode quickly propelled the hashtag “#アニメムジカ” (#AnimeMusica) to the number one trending spot on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the show's intense impact on viewers.

BanG Dream! Ave Mujica tells the story of Sakiko Toyokawa and the band Ave Mujica, which she assembles. Once a band achieving commercial success through live performances and media appearances, their unity was disrupted by loss—both of the bonds they swore to protect and the homes they came from. The series explores Sakiko’s mysterious past and motivations: why she bears the weight of others’ lives, and what drives her to continue the band. Masked by both metaphor and literal disguise, Sakiko steps into a perfectly crafted miniature world, hiding secrets only she knows.
