Makes sense in the end.

NEET's and everyone he tried to help, even Saki, wanted bigger and BADDER things to happen to the country, just as the emo #10 did. Even in his attempt to save everyone, things still gravitate towards chaos, because the country is ultimately obviously flawed, as we've been given examples of throughout these past episodes (Saki and her interviews, etc.)

We still don't have the pertinent information to deal with all this, but yeah, sucks to be Akizawa. He's pretty much alone in his saviour corner, while everyone else wants change, through carnage if possible.

Key things are still missing though, his apartment full of guns, his being in Washington with a gun, etc. Presumably to kill Saki for some reason.

Eden has something to do with all of this, but what exactly...

Also as expected, #12 connects to no one, because he's the Supporter, and Juiz is the gigantic machine they were standing on, but then most of us already knew she was an A.I.

Final note: This anime pretty much explores the key themes in Ghost in the Shell as expected. The Laughing Man's complex of the Catcher in the Rye, and Solid State Society's system for the elderly and the missing children.
