In the anime, however, the current arc is the WISE arc. This arc focuses on the daily work of WISE Agents and specifically on Twilight, aka Loid Forger, who reflects on the events that led to him becoming a spy and wonders how he will continue being a spy with his dark past. The anime has adapted only 2 out of the 6 chapters that cover this arc. Therefore, season 3 will adapt the remaining 4 chapters.
