History NightmareFuel / KamenRiderSaber

[[folder:Chapter 41: '''So Begins, the Beautiful End.''']]
* Storious, completely apathetic to Tassel' tearful begging, stabs the man, takes his book piece and leaves him for dead. Without its guardian, Wonder World starts decaying and overunning the real world.

* A triumphant as the main trio's fight against Kamen Rider Solomon was, none of said villain's final moments are played up for any catharsis.

** Issac isn't angry or confident this time after he's fled - he's ''an absolute mess'' [[VillainousBSOD crying and snivelling in suffocating darkness and disbelief with only a pouring rainstorm and a repaired Omniforce for company]]. His face is nearly unrecognizable under burns and blood and his clothes are in tatters just like his mind. Then Storious arrives and outright ''vaporizes him'', only laughing at the man's sheer delusion after the fact. [[UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode It's an eerily brutal dive]] into [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness just how deep Issac clung to his own delusions]]...and [[RealityEnsues how brutal his comeuppance chose to be]]. Issac wanted to be a god but [[KarmicDeath died cold and alone as a mere mortal]], his last seconds spent in fear and despair. Storious himself said it best.
---> '''Storious:''' The final moments of a man who chased godhood... were truly laughable, miserable, and beautiful.

* Earlier on, Tassel leaves Luna at his house while he went to talk to Touma. However, when he returns, Luna is nowhere to be found. At the end of the episode, just as Tassel is wondering where she is, everything goes dark... and then Storious looms out of the shadows, arm outstretched and NightmareFace on.

* The previous elements are not lost however, as Touma, after screaming his lungs out in pain from the power of the book, suddenly goes completely silent, limp, and unnaturally calm, as if it possessed him. His movements become stilted and alien compared to his usual demeanor. To make it worse, his jagged neck movements are accompanied by the sounds of bones cracking or rather it continues the homage to [=PuToTyra=] since unlike the manmade monstrosity of the Hazard Trigger or Metal Cluster Hopper, the book has its own will and takes control of the user's body before transformation just like what the purple Core Medals did to Eiji Hino.
* Legeiel is nonchelant and eerily calm through the episode, but when he arrives at the battlefield just in time to see the forbidden book fall into Touma's hands and starts [[EvilIsHammy hamming]] it up [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Kuroto]]-[[MadLaugh style]], it becomes apparent that something definitely worked itself loose in his head. Nothing can stop him from fighting Touma, not even seeing Primitive Dragon maul Storious or the other Megid telling him to get the [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere ef out]] while he still can.

** Solomon's delusions of godhood are challenged hard by the Riders' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speeches about how they've lost faith in him]]. [[VillainousBreakdown To say the man convinced he's a god doesn't take it well is an understatement]]. He gets progressively angrier and desperate, almost a screaming animal by the time Saber activates their final finisher.
** After being defeated by the main trio, Solomon doesn't de-morph right away. He '' writhes in sheer agony'' as fire eats through his suit.

** Honestly, none of Issac's final moments are played up for any catharsis whatsoever. Not only does his VillainousBreakdown get progressively more unsettling as the three Riders deal him loss after loss, but after his final defeat, Issac [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flees to an abandoned tunnel]] crying and snivelling in suffocating darkness and disbelief with only a pouring rainstorm for company. Then Storious arrives and outright vaporizes him, only laughing at the man's sheer delusion after the fact.

It's an eerie depressing dive into just how deep someone's delusions can blind them to reality...and how brutal reality can be if they can't cope.

** His [[LargeHam laugh]]. Dear god, his [[EvilLaugh laugh]]. It's like he's gone batshit insane.

* Kento plans to sacrifice himself to destroy Isaac. As in, no coming back from this sacrifice. [[Mythology/EgyptianMyth As in, stuck in Kurayami's void, fighting each other forever.]]

* Master Logos. Just, Master Logos. To elaborate:

** ''[[NearVillainVictory HE ALMOST WINS RIGHT THEN AND THERE]]''. Most of the [[CoolSword Seiken]] are completely sealed [[NiceJobBreakingItHero thanks to Kento]], meaning that Touma is the only one who can resist, and were it not for him saving Luna right when it counted most, Master Logos would have achieved the power of a god. As it is, he still gained Caladbolg and the Omniforce Wonder Ride Book, meaning that he's becoming a Rider. Holy crap.

* It's implied (and confirmed in the parts list) that a single swing from ''Caladbolg'' can destroy the world in a fraction of a second, leaving everyone stunned in brief confusion as to what happened and how Master Logos disappeared.
* On the topic of parts lists, it's indicated Solomon is a Rider form that by all means ''should not'' be so infinitely strong (in fact, ''Caladbolg'' is implicitly heavy enough that it can't even be wielded properly on its own), but is and [[AllYourPowersCombined channels every single possible use of all previous books combined]] simply because ''[[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve that is what Logos has declared]]'' through ''Omni Force'', which draws power simply from his insane thoughts. In other words, Solomon's very existence is a dark, twisted validation of Logos's own ego, [[ItsAllAboutMe and the gall of him to take it out on others]].

* It's implied that a single swing from ''Caladbolg'' can destroy the world in a fraction of a second, leaving everyone stunned in brief confusion as to what happened and how Master Logos disappeared.

Holy shit.

* Legeiel looks like he met the bussiness end of paper shredder after getting hit with the full force of Primitive Dragon's finisher. Bruised, dirty, his clothes have whole chunks missing and he just gives the other two a silent, exhausted look after shambling into the room. Worse, after Zooous insults him, whatever was loose in his head ''snaps''.

* '''Kamen Rider Durendal''', AKA, the second coming of [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Kamen Rider Odin]]. Why? Well...

** He is ruthless, [[InTheBack attacking Touma from behind]] after he makes a book gate using his powers, badly injuring him. If it wasn't for Yuri intervening and Rintaro using Elemental Dragon, [[NearVillainVictoryit might have been lights out for our protagonist.]]

** He can manipulate time, allowing him to easily dodge attacks and blindside his opponents. Something he ruthlessly exploits against Rintaro in his first fight.

** He is ruthless, attacking Touma after he makes a book gate using his powers, badly injuring him. If it wasn't for Yuri intervening and Rintaro using Elemental Dragon, it might have been lights out for our protagonist.
** He is loyal to Master Logos to a fault, as a twisted counterpart of Rintaro's loyalty to the spirit of the organization.
** All of this combined creates an antagonist who can't be bargained with, cannot be reasoned with, and cannot be stopped. Yuri only manages to draw against him, Primitive Elemental Dragon can't overcome his defenses, and Rintaro only fights him off long enough for them to escape in the end using Elemental Dragon to boost his power for a bit. And he is only going to get stronger.

* Not that brutal or nightmarish, but the show's DownerBeginning. It starts with the city in ruins thanks to the Megid. A young Touma is trying to keep Luna from being sucked in, but unfortunately doesn't have the strength to hold on. With no other options left, Daichi performs a HeroicSacrifice by plunging his sword into the ground, engulfing the Megid and himself in flames. The city is back to normal... but with Saber nowhere to be found, only leaving behind the Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book in Touma's hand.
