I think people are getting carried away with the “volume 12 crammed into one episode” thing. We haven’t received such word, only an episode title that could be a lot of things other than volume 12 and a basic premise. Why would they even think to condense volume 12 in the first place? It doesn’t make sense. The only way it makes any sense is if it’s not condensed, rather intentionally left a cliffhanger leading into a fourth season. Which is still odd enough.
This feels more like it’s going to be a whacky anime original episode like the onsen episode of S1.
