electromagnetic pulse designed to wipe the city's memories and reset civilization. Big Hero 6 launches a desperate, high-stakes raid on Obake's underground lair. In the climactic confrontation, Baymax and Hiro must push their technology and
emotional resilience to the absolute limit. Obake ultimately refuses rescue, accepting his fate as his lair collapses around him, sacrificing himself to his own vision.With the city saved, Hiro reflects on the terrifying potential of unchecked genius. He recommits himself not just to protecting San Fransokyo with his friends, but to using his intellect responsibly, ensuring that his brother’s legacy of helping others remains at the heart of everything he does.
