Natsuki wagers the 150 million avatars given to her in a single hand and critically damages Love Machine, prompting the artificial intelligence to redirect the Arawashi towards Sakae's estate.

However, OZ users worldwide enter their own accounts into the wager on Natsuki's side, which also prompts the guardian programs of OZ-the blue and red whales known as John and Yoko-to upgrade Natsuki's account. Natsuki wins several rounds, but gets distracted and nearly loses her "winnings". Realizing that Love Machine sees everything as a game, Kenji has the Jinnouchis confront Love Machine to play Koi-Koi in OZ's casino world, wagering their accounts in a desperate attempt to stop Love Machine. Natsuki has Wabisuke return home before the family reads Sakae's will, asking them to bring Wabisuke back to their lives. Meanwhile, Natsuki discovers a will left by Sakae and reunites with Kenji and the rest of the group. Love Machine consumes King Kazma and redirects the Arawashi Asteroid Probe onto a collision course with a nuclear power plant. Kenji, along with Sakuma and the others, capture Love Machine, but Shota carries the ice blocks to Sakae's body, causing the supercomputer to overheat. Kenji, Sakuma, and most of the Jinnouchis initiate a plan to defeat Love Machine with a supercomputer using ice blocks as a coolant, while Natsuki and the others prepare a funeral for Sakae. Her youngest son Mansaku ( Tadashi Nakamura) explains that she had angina, and that Love Machine had deactivated her heart monitor. The next morning, Sakae is discovered dead by Kenji and the Jinnouchis. Sakae later encourages Kenji to take care of Natsuki during a Koi-Koi match. After an argument with Sakae, Wabisuke leaves the estate. Wabisuke explains that he sold the program to the United States Armed Forces for a test run. Kenji is able to return control of the mainframe to the moderators and engineers. Sakae calls associates in important positions in Japanese society and relatives who work in emergency services, encouraging them to work their hardest to reduce chaos and damage, comparing the situation to war. Shota arrests Kenji, but the congestion causes Natsuki to return them to the estate.

Two of Sakae's relatives, Rika ( Sakiko Tamagawa) and Shota Jinnouchi (Yutaka Shimizu), discover Kenji's involvement. Love Machine defeats Kazuma's avatar King Kazma and continues to consume accounts in the OZ mainframe, creating catastrophic traffic congestion and disabling electrical devices. Kenji, Sakuma, and Natsuki's cousin Kazuma Ikezawa (Mitsuki Tanimura) confront Love Machine. Love Machine, an artificial intelligence written by Wabisuke, uses Kenji's account and avatar to hack the infrastructure, causing widespread damage.

Kenji receives an e-mail with a mathematical code and cracks it. It won several awards such as the 2010 Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year, the 2010 Japan Media Arts Festival's Animation Division Grand Prize, the Anaheim International Film Festival's Audience Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for the 2009 Golden Leopard award at the Locarno International Film Festival. The film was well received by critics and the general audience and was financially successful, earning $18 million worldwide. It grossed over US$1 million in its opening weekend in 127 theaters and ranked No. Summer Wars premiered in Japan on August 1, 2009. A manga adaptation of the film was written by Iqura Sugimoto and began its serialization in July 2009. Audience interest was fueled primarily through word of mouth and Internet publicity.

The project was first announced at the 2008 Tokyo International Anime Fair and the first trailer of the film was released in April 2009. Hosoda also insisted that 80 family members were to be included as main characters. Art director Youji Takeshige incorporated Japanese houses into his background designs. Production of Summer Wars commenced in 2006. Hosoda used the clan as the basis for the Jinnouchi family after visiting his then-fiancé's home in Ueda. The real-life city of Ueda was chosen as the setting for Summer Wars, as part of the territory was once governed by the Sanada clan and was close to Hosoda's birthplace in Toyama. Hosoda and writer Satoko Okudera conceived a story about a social network and a stranger's connection with a family. After producing The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Madhouse was asked to produce something new.
