Wandance Episode 12 marks the culmination of a season that transformed skeptics into believers through sheer determination. When the anime started, the computer animation was not good at all, but as each episode has come out since, the animation and the ability to create emotional drama have become better and better.

Wandance Episode 12 is expected to air on Wednesday, December 24th, 2025, at 9:45 AM EST on AT-X in Japan. It will be released exactly one week later than Episode 11, like every other episode has been released. International viewers should note that the episode becomes available shortly after the Japanese broadcast, though exact timing may vary based on streaming platform and region.

At the moment, Wandance is available on Hulu to international users. As we get nearer to Wandance's season finale, streaming services may be looking into adding Wandance to more platforms.


What Can You Expect From Wandance Episode 12?

Wandance Episode 12 (the last episode) will be an explosive end to the Dance Battle Tournament. Two huge competitors are going up against each other in the semifinals: Kabo and Kabe. Throughout the entire series, Kabe has challenged Kabo's approach to winning and competing against other dancers.

So whoever wins between Kabo & Kabe is facing Iori in the finals. Iori proved his dominance by defeating Usen in episode 11, avenging both On and Wanda's losses. His performance demonstrated the power of dancing for oneself rather than external validation.

Wandance Episode 12 is likely to showcase improved animation techniques that the production team has refined throughout the season. The last few episodes showed a lot better use of motion lines, dynamism, and visual effects, which allow us as the viewers to truly see how hard it is to perform those moves that we see them doing.


What Happened in Wandance Episode 11?

Episode 11 delivered intense semifinal action with several surprising outcomes. Usen was a tough performer, coming out on top against On and Wanda back-to-back. The judges were impressed with Usen's minimalist style and the way he embodied the music, while some of the viewers thought he was kinda boring. On was eliminated first, but she took it like a champ, even though it really hit her hard.

Iori came into his battle with Usen under a ton of pressure. One of the best moments from the show was when both Wanda and Kabo decided to stand behind Iori to support him against Usen's crew. This gesture demonstrated how their bond had strengthened throughout the competition.

Winning made up for both of Iori’s club-mates' losses as well as cemented Iori’s spot in the finals. Realizing that he is only going to be the best if he approaches this year’s competition with the mentality of improving himself. Additionally, the fact that On was obviously impressed with Iori’s performance gives a hint that their relationship could develop into something beyond just a friendship.

Kabo and Kabe clashed back in the day before the semi-final coming up between them. It's new for Kabo to have the fire in him after beating one of Usen's guys on his way here, too.

Wandance Episode 12 will reveal if Kabo can continue his Cinderella story as an underdog or if Kabe's experience points send him to the finals to go up against Iori. Both of these potential match-ups will provide amazing drama and incredible dance scenes to end the season.
