History Recap / KamenRiderSaberEp38TheUnifierOfSacredSwordsTheGalacticSaber

Touma was able to save Kento's life. However, the price they had to pay was too great, as the tomes that emerged in the sky all over the world are still intact, accelerating the collapse of the world. The swordsmen look upon this calamity from various perspectives. The Northern-based swordsmen can tell what Touma is thinking as they urge him to seek out Kento as they confront Master Logos determined to give their all for the cause. While the other swordsmen fight against Master Logos, Touma finds Kento and hands him the Raimeiken Ikazuchi once again. Despite this, however, Kento refuses to wield the sword. It is just then when Bahato appears before the others once again. The collapse of the world is reaching its climax now more than before.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Bahato implies his inability to die is one of the reasons behind his despair, something none of the other swordsmen can really relate with. Touma points this out as the obvious excuse it is. Him actually getting damaged by the ''Rekka'' is one of the things that hammers Touma's message in.

** Similar to how Daishinji judged Touma's lack of experience the first time they dueled, Touma notes he "feels nothing" from Issac's ''Caladbolg.''

* HazyFeelTurn: Touma never truly convinces Bahato to abandon his despair, though being hurt by the ''Rekka'' is enough to convince him to concede defeat and "to see" whatever future Touma creates.

* ThisCannotBe: Bahato's reaction at getting wounded by ''Rekka''.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Touma points out the reasons for Bahato's nihilism are rather misguided, as he extols humanity's ability to feel despair and hope as well.

* NotQuiteDead: Hayato was saved by Tassel as a spirit guardian, which gives him the chance to talk with his son and help with the creation of the ''Xross Saber''.

* BeYourself: [[spoiler: Hayato]]'s advice to Kento once he reveals himself. Kento already knows what [[HeelFaceTurn he truly wants to do]] and shouldn't keep himself from it any longer.

* CombinationAttack: Downplayed. All of the swordsmen [[spoiler: apply their power]] to create the ''Xross Saber.'' Touma saves the city by [[spoiler: using all of these powers en-masse to destroy the world-ending books]], portrayed as ghosts of the various swordsmen cutting these down.

* HazyFeelTurn: Touma [[spoiler: never truly convinces Bahato to abandon his despair]], though [[spoiler: being hurt by the ''Rekka'']] is enough to convince him to concede defeat and "see to" whatever future Touma creates.
* HesBack: After quite a few episodes of failed pep talks, Kento finally returns to Touma's side and wields ''Ikazuchi'' once more [[spoiler: after he has a heart-to-heart with his father Hayato.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Hayato was saved by Tassel as a spirit guardian, which gives him the chance to talk with his son and help with the creation of the ''Xross Saber''.]]

* WhamShot: While Touma and the others are celebrating, an unseen person ([[spoiler: heavily implied to be Desast]]) makes off with the ''Kyomu''.

Touma points this out as the obvious excuse it is. Him [[spoiler: getting hurt by the ''Rekka'' is]] one of the things that hammers Touma's message in.

* HazyFeelTurn: Touma [[spoiler: never truly convinces Bahato to abandon his despair]], though he is seemingly-intrigued to the point of conceding defeat.

* WhamShot: While Touma and the others are celebrating, an unseen person ([[spoiler:heavily implied to be Desast]]) makes off with ''Kyomu''.

* GoodCounterpart: The Haouken ''Xross Saber'' is one to Solomon's ''Caladbolg'', given that both are borne of a ritual involving the other Seikens. However, its powers are explicitly tied to creation instead of destruction, and is wielded by TheHero Touma against the BigBad Isaac.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: While Touma and the others are celebrating, an unseen person ([[spoiler:heavily implied to be Desast]]) makes off with ''Kyomu''.
