Key: The Metal Idol

Young, naive Key arrives in Tokyo, where she wanders the streets aimlessly until she's picked up by a shady photographer looking for models for adult videos. But a chance encounter with her childhood friend Sakura saves her ... for the moment.

Key meets Sakura's crew of friends.

Key is on a race to make 30,000 friends.

As a crowd gathers below the building of a suspected jumper, Key is pulled into a treacherous position ... literally. That's when Key's grandfather's assistant, Tomoyo Wakagi, appears. Meanwhile at home, Shuichi starts hearing a strange singing from his computer speakers...

Sakura and Shuichi have suspicions that Key is a robot.

Key makes a voyage to Prince Snake-Eye's temple.

After their first big showdown, everyone-good, and bad-are busy regrouping and deciding what their next moves will be. Where does this leave Key?

This is Episode 8.

While 'D' recovers from his last battle, Ajo leaves him locked up in a cell with only a computer terminal ... and a mission. Meanwhile, Sakura and Key are thrilled to learn that Shuichi's connections are paying off.

Sakura is annoyed to discover that Shuichi has already returned, so the two of them arrange a chat. After she admits that Key's auditions aren't going well, he tells her about Key's mom, then hands over a ticket ... to Miho's next concert!

Shuichi uncovers Prince Snake-Eye's sinister plot.

As things move toward a climax, everyone who's anyone makes it to Miho's concert-where chaos ensues. Especially so, after the crowd hears the 'lullaby' song that Key's author has been teasing her fans.

It's the big reveal, with the meaning of the photograph found in Tomyo village deciphered, Doc's life story finally told, and Tokiko and Key's connection ultimately revealed.

This is the Final Episode.
