The 7th Apocalypse Hotel episode Bow Down Deep But Always Aim High shows Yachiyo and the Prociones performing rituals to attract guests but fail to do so. Yachiyo proposes launching a satellite to advertise the hotel. Ponko wants to add a “Rods from God” satellite for defense.

Though initially against it, Yachiyo agrees after hearing Ponko’s reasons. When the rocket proves too heavy, Yachiyo offers to replace Ponko, removing life support systems to save weight. 70 years later, the rocket launches and both satellites deploy successfully, but a solar flare leaves Yachiyo disabled and adrift in space.

Apocalypse Hotel Episode 8 will likely explore how Yachiyo, now stranded in space, may begin her return to Earth. Although exposed to harsh conditions, she may possess specialized functions enabling her survival and descent.

Meanwhile, Ponko and the Tanukians, determined to protect the Gingarou Hotel in her absence, may devise a rescue plan. They still have the unused life support unit initially intended for Ponko, which could be vital. The episode may also depict how the hotel continues functioning without Yachiyo’s direct presence.
