Countdown to Catastrophe is the three-part Season 1 finale of Big Hero 6: The Series. It premiered on October 13, 2018, and is collectively the twenty-third, fourth, and fifth episode.

Synopsis[]

Big Hero 6 face their greatest challenge as Obake unleashes his plan on San Fransokyo.

Plot[]

After stopping Globby from stealing a piece of Krei Tech, Hiro learns from Krei that it was a broken piece from a failed Energy Amplifier. Inspired, Hiro decides to focus on recreating it for open house finals, only to be turned down by a visibly distraught Granville. Nonetheless, he continues with it, becoming so preoccupied that he ingores his friends. Honey tries to do a project on Lenore Shimamoto, so she and Wasabi break into her secret lab and find an old wax filter.

Fred concocts a plan to capture Globby by presenting a fake amplifier, but he arrives with Noodle Burger Boy who unknowingly tampers with Baymax due to Hiro arriving late. At the open house, Honey plays Shimamoto's message and she reveals herself to be the cause of the "great disaster" in the past. Obake reveals himself to Granville and has Noodle Burger Boy, Globby and Momakase attack the open house so he can steal Hiro's amplifier. Afterwards, Granville (who is aware of Big Hero 6's identities) explains how she knows Obake.

The tampered Baymax kidnaps Hiro and takes him to Obake who reveals his plan to create a star to destroy San Fransokyo so that he can rebuild it with Hiro as his prodigy. Globby has a change of heart and frees Hiro and they unite with the rest to stop the impending destruction. Honey and Globby brace the flood while Go Go and Wasabi protect the civilians and fight Momakase. Hiro, Fred and Mini-Max then use Kentucky Kaiju to create a powerful wave that disrupts the star and causes Obake's lair to crumble. Obake frees Baymax and sends him to rescue Hiro while he resigns himself to his fate. Granville decides to pass Hiro for his heroic deeds and he admits that he is unsure if Obake survived.

In the final scene, Hiro and Baymax look for Obake underwater. Baymax says he still doesn't detect his body, but Hiro says it's impossible for him to have survived. However, Baymax reminds Hiro that, like he had said, "nothing is impossible". As they search for him, Obake's chip is shown at the bottom of the sea with no damage.

Trivia[]

  • Before receiving an official title, the episode parts were listed simply as "Finale Pt. I", "Finale Pt. II", and "Finale Pt. III"[2].
  • Baymax is turned evil again, something that first happened in the film.
  • Young Obake had been shown in previous episodes, but it was officially confirmed to be him in this episode. His real name is also revealed in this episode.
  • In the promo of this episode, when Hiro finds out that Baymax has Obake's chip, he says goodbye while grabbing Hiro's arm to prevent him from removing the chip from Baymax's access port.
  • Hiro's excuse to leave the café when talking to Aunt Cass is that he was going to collect "Obakes" on his phone. This might be a reference to the popular phone app Pokémon Go.
  • For the first time since "Baymax Returns", the episode's name is shown in the intro.
  • Krei's sculpture from "Big Roommates 2" is seen.
  • While inside the Kentucky Kaiju with Fred and Mini-Max, Hiro is wearing a seat belt that has Big Hero 6's logo.
  • One of Fred's figures closely resembled Baron Von Steamer.
  • A reference to Ben 10, another creation of Man of Action, is made when Hiro says “It’s hero time!”
  • The scene where Globby becomes a t-rex at SFIT is a direct reference to Jurassic Park.

Errors[]

  • When Professor Granville is looking at the window while she is telling Big Hero 6 about Bob Aken, Wasabi is seen wearing his visor and Hiro's helmet disappeared. When Professor Granville is looking sadly at Big Hero 6, Wasabi's visor is missing along with Hiro's helmet.
