Season 5

**Season 5** is the fifth and final season of *Aggretsuko*, released on February 16, 2023.

The fifth season was initially announced with an image following the credits of the final episode of Season 4: "Rendezvous". The image states that "Retsuko will return" with the number 5 faintly present behind the text.

On September 25, 2022, a February 2023 release month was announced for the season during the 2022 Netflix TUDUM Japan fan event

As part of its reveal, a synopsis was released by Netflix Japan highlighting Retsuko will be running for office in Japan's parliament whilst Haida is evicted from his apartment - which is owned by his parents - and is living in an Internet café where he meets Shikabane; a multi-talented artist gaining attention.

## Episodes

"**A Prison Called Freedom**" (自由と言う名の牢獄)*Haida still doesn't have a job, and doesn't seem interested in getting another one any time soon – which makes Retsuko feel uneasy.*

"**Spooky Shikabane**" (シカバネ)*With no job, no home and no girlfriend, Haida hunkers down in an internet cafe and, mortifyingly, bumps into an online friend in real life.*

"**ANAGURA and Reality**" (穴倉とリアル)*Under the avatar "Fennelope," Fenneko befriends Haida and Shikabane in the online game and sets up a meeting with them in real life.*

"**Restart**" (再起動)*Haida now has to visit Retsuko's parents in two weeks. He'll have to tell them that he's unemployed — unless he can find a job before then.*

"**A Mysterious Messenger**" (謎の使者)*A suspicious looking man comes up to Manaka after an OTM Girls' show and asks her about "Aggressive Retsuko." Haida meets up with Tadano.*

"**A Family Emergency**" (家族事変)*Haida tells her she doesn't have to come, but Retsuko insists on going with him to visit his family home — and it's nothing like what she expected.*

"**Rage Mission**" (怒りのミッション)*Retsuko gets approached by a suspicious, but somewhat familiar-looking man who really, really wants her to run for office.*

"**Rising to the Challenge**" (決起)*The day after taking to the stage with Ikari, Retsuko is filled with stress and regret. Time for an epic karaoke session!*

"**A Disconnected World**" (バラバラな世界)*Running for office isn't for the faint hearted — or the empty pocketed. They need to come up with a 3 million yen deposit fast.*

"**The Other Side of Rage**" (怒りの向こう側)*The pressure almost gets the better of her, but after a quick interaction with Ton, Retsuko picks up the microphone to speak to her potential voters.*
