TheTerminatorfranchise started out strong 40 years agowithJames Cameron’s original film.
Thankfully,Netflix’sTerminator Zero, an anime seriesproduced by Production I.G.
So how does it all end?

Eiko isn’t the only protector of Malcolm’s family.
There is also a young nanny named Misaki (Sumalee Montano/Saori Hayami).
There is more to her than meets the eye, her unusual behavior making her a mystery.

But just how did Malcolm know to create her to begin with?
He is from a year past 2022, which is how he knows what Skynet will do in 1997.
He then builds a time machine and goes back to 1983 to hide with Misaki.
His mission became hindered when he fell in love and got married.
‘Terminator Zero’ may have been more effective in a condensed format.
This will result in a completely different future, so what is the point?
Is the Terminator Victorious in Shutting Down Kokoro?
Amidst all of this, a Terminator (Timothy Olyphant/Yasuhiro Mamiya) is after Malcolm’s children.
The Terminator then tries to convince Kenta to turn on an EMP that will destroy Kokoro.
It can’t do this itself because it will also be destroyed, which goes against its protocols.
The finale ofTerminator Zeroends with an all-out fight between Eiko, Misaki, and even Malcolm against the Terminator.
Malcolm gives his life when he is stabbed to death protecting his family.
Nothing good can come from this.
This ending implies a setup for a Season 2 ofTerminator Zero.
Much of Season 1 ofTerminator Zerospent its time setting up the world and asking a lot of questions.
Skynet may have been stopped, but we know they’re never down for good.
Kokoro might end up being the biggest worry.
Terminator Zerois available to watch on Netflix in the U.S.
