Awesome / Kamen Rider Saber

Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

Enter the Swordsman of the Cosmos. Solomon, you’re doomed.

Series

Chapter 1: In the Beginning, There Is a Swordsman of Flames.

• The first Saber being beat-up and surrounded by Megid all at once, but still refusing to yield. Cue him plunging Rekka in the ground and engulfing not just the Megid, but also himself in flame to save the city. Not to mention, he got to drop a pretty badass Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
  The First Saber: Hope exists beyond your resolution!
• Touma going through literal fire to get Rekka. Rintaro says that it should be impossible for him to wield the Sword of Flames, but Touma epically disproves him by not only wielding the sword, but also transforming the moment the Swordriver is revealed to him. Capping it all off is Touma’s epic one-liner.
  Touma: No. The story’s ending is for me to decide.
• Saber’s debut is chock full of awesome moments, such as…
  • Instantly going at the Megid with tons of slashes, each one harder than the last.
  • Slashing through a bunch of rock at a rapid-fire pace when the Golem Megid flips the page into another world before slashing the monster to get back to the real world.
  • Saber conjuring a punch made out of flames, hitting the monster once more.
  • When the Megid grows giant, Touma conjures up all of his willpower and slashes through the monster without much effort. Bonus points for the attack being showcased as a bunch of pages turning, just like a book.
• Some of the effects are extraordinarily well-done despite both COVID-19 restrictions and limited budget:
  • Wonder World looks straight out of a fantasy book, with its CGI looking just disorienting enough that it makes the dimension seem otherworldly.
  • Rintaro coming onto the scene out of a book turning its pages is extremely pleasing to look at.
  • The flames used when Touma is Saber look positively gorgeous, looking realistic while still having an otherworldly feel to it.

Chapter 2: The Swordsman of Water, and a Blue Lion.

• Rintaro quickly showing off what he can do by slashing his way through the mooks no problem.
• The bikes making an epic return in the form of the Diago Speedy and Ride Gatriker, taking down the spawn of the Ant Megid with both speed and fire power.
• Touma quickly masters how to use two Wonder Ride Books at once, as Rintaro thought it was too soon for him.
  • He also gets more creative points by using the beans to grow a giant beanstalk, compared to Rintaro who only used said beans as bullets. From there he takes care of the Grasshopper Megid with a particularly epic Rider Kick.

Chapter 3: A Father, and a Swordsman.

• Ryo has one hell of an introduction, swiftly one-shotting both enemies that show up.
• After taking Peter Fantasista from Touma, Rintaro uses the Wonder Ride Book to tackle the MOTW by creating multiple portals to fight him off at multiple sides.

Chapter 4: I Opened the Book, and Therefore.

• Ryo holds his own against the newly revived Desast, using the Jackun-to-Domamenoki Wonder Ride Book to tether himself while tanking the latter’s finisher. He ends up acquiring the Storm Eagle book for his troubles.
• Touma shows us the first three Wonder Ride Book combo, by using Brave Dragon, Needle Hedgehog, and Peter Fantasista together to defeat the Salamander Megid. He even uses his unconventional fighting style to the fullest, chaining up the MOTW before slashing it with Needle Hedgehog to stab it in a dozen different places before summoning a muscled-up fairy to finish the Megid off. And it somehow works. Rintaro comments that it’s pretty unconventional, but he lets it slide because of its effectiveness.
• Mei gets one herself, figuring out that she can use the white Wonder Ride books to track down where Sora and the other Victims of the Week were held. Granted, she gets captured herself, but that’s all part of the plan, since she brought a firework to use as a signal flare for Touma and Rintaro.
• Kento/Espada pulls a Big Damn Heroes moment, rescuing his exhausted allies Saber and Blades from a potential Curb-Stomp Battle by Calibur.

Chapter 5: For My Friend, the Swordsman of Thunder.

• Ryo quickly and easily deflecting Calibur’s blast directed at Kento.
• Despite fighting together only for the first time this episode, the fact that Touma and Kento are Childhood Friends makes their combat chemistry impressive, as they dispatch miniature Piranha Megids with ease, on their bikes!
• The debut of Saber’s Dragon Eagle form: He uses the elemental powers of his two books to generate a gigantic flaming tornado! Crosses over with Funny with Touma getting sucked up in the tornado he created.
• Kento defeats the second Piranha Megid in a Single-Stroke Battle, where he moves so fast he practically teleports to the other side of the screen.

Chapter 6: Like a Gale, He Is Here.

• Ren/Kenzan showing off why he’s a bona fide member of the Sword of Logos despite his childish, hyper personality by defeating Desast (a Megid who gave Buster fits a couple of episodes prior) with ease.
• Touma manages to figure out how to reach Avalon by reading through tons and tons of books with the help of Daishinji.

Chapter 7: Located in Avalon, the Sword of the King.

• After subjecting himself to Training from Hell, Rintaro comes and pulls a Big Damn Heroes, saving Buster and Kenzan from Legeiel, Zooous, Desast, AND the Medusa Megid with his new Fantastic Lion form.
• Touma manages to reach Avalon, get the King of Arthur book, and unlock a new form while unsealing his Swordriver.

Chapter 8: The One That Is Sealed, Is Arthur.

• Touma finally realizes how to unlock King of Arthur’s true power through The Power of Friendship, and writes a story around it.
  • First off, he takes into consideration the strengths of his fellow swordsmen, such as Kento and Ren having amazing teamwork, and making the most out of Rintaro being the first to unlock his Set Bonus form.
  • Second, by having all the Riders congregate at one spot instead of splitting them up, this invites the Medusa Megid to gather in one location as well… allowing Touma to defeat both at the same time.

Chapter 9: Overlapping, the Swordmen’s Timbres.

• Tetsuo’s debut as Kamen Rider Slash, coming to Touma, Rintaro, and Kento’s rescue and easily dealing with several of the Ahiru Megids that had been giving the three so much trouble.
• Touma snatching the Saiyuu Journey book from Calibur and using it with Brave Dragon and Storm Eagle to unlock his Wonder Combo Form: Crimson Dragon.
• Sophia deserves some credit for approaching Calibur and asserting that he’s not Hayato. She doesn’t even flinch when he tries to attack her, though that was solved by Ryo.

Chapter 13: This Time, I Will Stick to My Convictions.

• The debut of Kamen Rider Saber Dragonic Knight, even the henshin sequence starting things off with a bang. Rekka becomes a true Flaming Sword for its duration as the silver armor of Touma’s new form collapses onto him and the Brave Dragon flies around, all set to a regal English chant and dramatic announcements of the new form’s features in Japanese. As soon as Touma becomes Dragonic Knight, he utterly dominates Calibur with the new form’s powers, powering through everything the evil Rider can throw at him and answering to the point that Calibur flat out runs away. Even that doesn’t save him with Touma using Dragonic Knight to summon the Brave Dragon as a steed, chasing Calibur into the sky and finishing him off in the very heavens. For an added bonus, when he summons the dragon, it appears to the same English chant from the transformation in all its glory:

  The knight appears! When you side, you have no grief and the flame is bright! Ride on dragon, fight! Dragonic Knight~!

Chapter 14: These Feelings, Dwell in This Sword.

• Touma transforming into Dragon Alangina. Touma is using his memory of Kento to fight Calibur.
  • Additionally, he gets to dual-wield Rekka and Ikazuchi, and even uses their finishers combined into one.
• The debut of Kamen Rider Blades King Lion Daisenki. Blades looks more robotic in appearance, but is on par with Dragonic Knight.
  • The transformation into King Lion shouts awesome. Nagare is enveloped in water, and Rintaro just stands as the armor is placed on him, with a lion of determination.
• Buster, Kenzan, and Slash using each other’s Ride Books.

Chapter 15: What Lies, Beyond Our Resolution.

• Touma and Calibur’s clash inside the giant book ends with Touma summoning his dragon and taking on all five of Calibur’s and winning. All this after escaping Kurayami’s darkness with Kento’s help.

Chapter 16: A Ray of Light, That Saves the World.

• Kamen Rider Saikou makes his appearance by quickly fighting off Blades, Buster, Kenzan, and Slash all at once, forcing them to retreat and rescuing Touma.
• Reika gets one for turning the other swordsmen against Touma and forcing Yuri (aka, Saikou) to appear to rescue him by telling them Sophia was captured by the Megid and that there was a risk of Touma turning into a third Calibur. The result was that the other riders were off balance enough that when they confronted Touma, they assumed the worst when he tried to explain things and attacked him. The whole thing was set up so that either she’d get the two Seiken Touma has (Rekka and Ikazuchi and their Ride Books) or the Sword of Light would return to the playing field, her plans moving forward either way.

Chapter 23: Raging, Hand of Ruin.

• As always with the berserk forms, Primitive Dragon’s debut is as awesome as it is terrifying, curbstomping the ever loving hell out of the Megid, who were previously giving Touma trouble.

Chapter 26: Deep Darkness, With a Sword.

• While a much bleaker episode, that in itself can be considered awesome. Fans are already claiming this episode the best of the show’s run thus far, mostly in part thanks to the episode’s director, Kazuya Kamihoriouchi, previously famous for his work on episodes 25 to 27 of Kamen Rider Zero One and Kamen Rider Build: Be The One.
  • To note, the cinematography during the showdown between Kento, Reika, Yuri and later Tetsuo and Ryo, is some of the most dramatic and un-Toku-esque. The choreography itself remains on-brand, but the fight is framed in such a way comparable to a Marvel movie. Predominantly shadowed cast in a predominantly shadowed environment, even the henshins mostly omit the normally bombastic jingles of everyone’s forms, barring Reika’s, calling out only the sword’s or form’s names. The former might count as foreshadowing of the Sword-centric themes of the episode, especially following the reveal of Kento’s visions.
  • Said visions also count as cinematically superb, showing the multiple futures Kurayami presents to Kento, backed by an epic score and increasingly bleak visuals. They only further the effect they have on the viewers.
  • Even the absence of Tassel’s opening narration at the start of the episode, every one of these decisions was to sell just how serious the events of this episode are.

Chapter 27: Change Sorrow, Into a Smile.

• There are a few highlights in this episode’s awesome factor, but they are still huge!
  • First of all, Touma in the Liberation. He transforms nonstop, enduring a stress far greater than Rintaro did.
  • Next we see Rintaro coming to aid Touma, who has gone completely still after turning into Primitive Dragon, choosing to believe in Touma’s resolve.
  • While Touma is still out of action, Rintaro, Yuri and Ryo fights and tries to hold Legeiel back untransformed. And this is a powered-up Legeiel, as if things weren’t bad enough.
  • At last, the debut of Elemental Dragon: a form that combines all elements into one, along with giving Touma complete control over himself when using Primitive Dragon. What happens next is a massive Curb-Stomp Battle against Legeiel, ending with a strike that creates a chaotic combination of all elements in a single wave of energy.
  • And to conclude: Tassel himself came to congratulate Touma on achieving what no one could for a long time.

Chapter 32: My Emotions, Become Crystallized.

• Rintaro’s Tategami Hyoujuu Senki form is a sight to behold. The color theme is much lighter, almost reminiscent of Zooous but without looking like a monster, and a long furred mane goes down his back. Not only that but his very presence seems to chill the surroundings.
  • The mane in question? It can turn into wings or a shark tail, giving him mobility in the sky and underwater.
  • And the finisher itself is unusual in that it doesn’t have a fiery explosion, but rather he leaves a trail of icicles with his enemy frozen over, before it all shatters violently.
• Zooous, just like Legeiel, is able to pass on with a smile, complimenting Rintaro’s strength and wishes they can fight again someday.
• Touma landing a hit on Ryoga even though the latter used his Time Master skills to strike the swordsman of flame from behind. We must remind you, Ryoga can manipulate time with his weapon and equipment and that he easily trounced Rintaro and Touma the first time they faced him. He is not happy with this outcome and eschews retreating to angrily lash out at Touma, forcing Master Logos to warp him away from the battlefield.

Chapter 33: Nevertheless, We Can Change the Future.

• A villainous one, but all the same: Master Logos finally gets off his throne and confronts Touma and Kento, fighting Saber Elemental Dragon and Calibur to a standstill without transforming, all the while Dual Wielding Gekido and Ikazuchi. What makes this notable is that Gekido is a BFS normally wielded with two hands even by its usual wielder, and Master Logos handles it as if it were a smaller, lighter blade.
• Sabela vs Kenzan. In fact, the general fan opinion on these characters makes this fight all the more awesome.
  • And then to turn things up a notch, Desast jumps in to aid Kenzan and effectively make this a 2 on 1 duel. Even when Sabela attempts to use her smoke abilities to get an advantage, Desast was patient enough to strike at the appropriate time and force her back to her normal form.

Chapter 34: The Deathless Swordsman, Wakes Up.

• After episodes of Ryoga dominating most of his fights with his Time Master powers and sneaky In the Back attacks, he made a mistake of challenging Rintaro, who has gotten his Super Mode two episodes ago. After clashing swords, he tried his usual schtick of using his power to teleport behind and slash them in them back. Cue Rintaro stabbing Nagare on the ground without looking back and flash-freezing the ground and Ryoga’s feet before swatting him away. If that’s not enough, enter Bacht, who proceeds to attack Ryoga instead while Rintaro just awkwardly watches the whole scene unfold.

Chapter 35: Then I, Shall Become a God.

• For the most part, the episode stands out as Master Logos’ shining moment thus far in the series. Manipulating every swordsman to appear to ultimately nab their Seikens and Wonder Ride Books, very nearly giving him full access to the Book of Omniscience.
• Touma, for that matter, foils Master Logos’ plan at the last minute, reclaiming Rekka and returning the Seikens to their wielders while also rescuing Luna.
• That being said, Master Logos still has the last laugh, acquiring the Omniforce Wonder Ride Book and Seiken Caladbolg for his own.

Chapter 36: The Power of Omniscience and Omnipotence, Is Open.

• Master Logos’s debut as Kamen Rider Solomon is glorious, with him pretty much wiping the floor with the other Riders, Durendal and Sabela included.

Chapter 37: Who Will Be the One, to Change the Future?

• It’s equal points awesome and cathartic, but Touma delivering a one-sided defeat to Ren shows how much Touma’s grown as a swordsman.
• Yuri Dual Wielding Saikou and Kurayami like in the olden days, to drive back Isaac and rescue his fellow swordsmen.

Chapter 38: Uniting the Holy Swords, the Sword of the Galaxy.

• Touma finishing off Bahato, untransformed, with a single slash from Rekka.
• Not to mention the speech the other swordsmen gave him.
  Touma: Now I understand how strong your feelings are. However… If you’re that strong, why won’t you change your ways?
  Falchion: A deathless body, endless rebirth… You humans cannot possibly comprehend such despair.
  Touma: Humans despair too. But even then, we still have the power to rise up. Again and again.
  Rintaro: I will never give up on myself!
  Ryo: If we give up, then the world as we know will end. We won’t let that happen!
  Tetsuo: That’s also what my Seiken is saying.
  Ryoga: We wield our Seikens to defeat great evil!
  Reika: That’s our duty as swordsmen!
  Ren: All of your strength is not justice!
  Yuri: Bahato… people are the world. As people change, so will the world.
  Touma: I believe in the strength of mankind. Humanity’s feelings will create this world… and its future!
  [Kento appears out of nowhere, now wielding both Ikazuchi and Kurayami]
  Kento: I believe in Touma… and myself. We will change the future.
• The debut of Xross Saber may be one of the most spectacular final form debuts in the franchise.
  • First of all, the Haouken Xross Saber forms in space and drops from orbit into Touma’s hand.
  • During the creation of Xross Saber, both Tetsuo and Yuri narrating the legend of Seiken, complete with Visual Effects of Awesome no less.
    Tetsuo: When the one who shall light the fire appears in front of the first Seiken forged by humans…
    Yuri: The stars themselves will align their powers, and the Seiken that will lead this story to its conclusion shall be born…!
  • Then, Touma actually transforms with glowing images of almost every Seiken (excluding Kyomu) flying around him, capped off with the most grandiose and powerful hard rock-style jingle in the season. Seriously, this one beats the length record held by Grand Zi-O!
    Blade King Sword Xross Saber!
    The cross of Creation!
    With the miracle of the glittering stars!
    O noble power, the flames of courage!
    Xross Saber! Xross Saber!
    XROSS SABER!!!
    Unite the ten swords!
  • And when Touma gets to the fighting, he absolutely wipes the floor with Master Logos. Everything Isaac throws at him, Touma counters with barely any effort by summoning every other Seiken to aid him, enabling him to blow Isaac’s Mooks away without a scratch. And all of this from the base Xross Saber form!
  • And just to put the cherry on it, the battle has Rewrite the Story, the first insert song used in the series, playing the whole way through it. A powerful, intense song sung by Touma, Rintaro and Kento’s actors, it is a perfect song for Isaac to get his ass kicked to.

Chapter 39: O Swordsmen, Walk the Path You Believe in.

• Reika Shindai gets a brief moment to shine when she and her brother break into Northern Base. She uses a smoke mirage of Sabela to distract Isaac while she goes to take back the Wonder Ride Books, then comes back just in time to bail out her brother right before Solomon can defeat him and escape.
• It’s the debut of Crimson Saber, and the Solomon Humiliation Parade shows no sign of slowing down soon.
  • The jingle, while shortened, is still no slouch, this time carrying an intense, pop rock vibe.
    Crimson Saber~! (Saber~!)
    XROSS SABER THREE!!!
    Three extravagant volumes!
  • Any attack thrown by Solomon is blasted through easily, beginning with Touma cutting through one of Solomon’s wave slashes with the three primary Seiken.
  • And when Solomon uses Solomon Zone, throwing a ton of meteors at Touma, he simply flies right through them, culminating in Solomon producing a giant Caladbolg, only for Touma to slice straight through it like it was made of paper, sending Solomon flying.
  • Perhaps the most satisfying part of this is Isaac's reaction to it. For once, the smug, constantly smirking sociopathic monster has the smile blasted off his face and is left seething in absolute rage, unable to even speak for a few moments.

Chapter 40: Shining Friendship, the Three Swordsmen.

• Xross Saber, Blades Tategami and Espada Golden Alangina fighting together, kicking Solomon’s ass. The trio is back.
• Rintaro's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Solomon.

Rintaro: Master...! You are a truly pitiful person...

Solomon: What did you say?!

Rintaro: As a member of the guild, I always had faith in you! I practically worshipped you like a god! But now... No one will put their faith in you anymore! You chose to stop being a god. And now... you're all alone.

• Now it’s Featuring Saber’s turn in the spotlight, and for the third time, Solomon gets absolutely flattened. By this point, it’s just downright embarrassing for him.
  • The transformation starts out with the Xross Saber-enhanced Brave Dragon, Lion Senki and Lamp Do Alangina summons flying around and destroying the blades threatening to fall on the trio’s heads before flying back to Touma to transform him.
  • Once more, the jingle is incredible, but this time it’s something you could dance to.
    Dra! (Dra!) Dragon! Lion! Senki!
    Ah~! Alangina!
    Their bonds shall lead to the promise of victory! MERGED PUBLICATION!
    FEATURING SABER~!
    Three-volume special edition!
  • This combo is definitely the most unique, in that it allows for Rintaro and Kento to fight through Touma. As the three effortlessly blast through Solomon’s blade storm attack, Kento produces a Magic Carpet for Touma to fly on to dodge Solomon’s attacks, at which point Rintaro summons a lion from Touma to attack Solomon, which powers through the latter’s guard.
  • And the battle ends in the worst possible way for Solomon: he eats a Rider Kick from Touma that blows his equipment to bits. Solomon is left writhing on the ground on fire. The smug, smirking creep got reduced to nothing more than a punchline in mere moments.
• Then there is the amazing creepiness of Storious coming in to backstab Isaac and establish himself as the true Big Bad. Dude has been waiting for this opportunity for 2000 years and he sure takes it with style.

Chapter 41: Two Thousand Years, a Wish Spelled Out.

• Desat using Bahato’s Book to become a Rider, and take on Storious and the Charybdis Megid.
• Xross Saber duplicates both Suzune and Gekido for Slash and Buster to dual wield, while Saber himself wields Xross Saber and Rekka. What makes this awesome? Buster shows how strong he is by holding a Gekido in each hand!

Chapter 43: In Conflict, We Find Our Worth.

• Tear Jerker it may be, but Ren and Desast’s final fight is a beautiful final bout between the two.

Special Chapter: The World Plunderer Is Coming, Worlds Cross.

• Kento and Touma manage to figure out what Orihime Wald’s ability is. The Wald is based on Orihime who made tanzaku paper sheets supposedly could make wishes come true by writing them down. Touma and Kento determine that the monster actually influences people’s psyches into believing those wishes came true, such as the gang’s Wonder Ride Books disappearing.
• Zocks’s brief scuffle with Reika and Ryoga Shindai. The pirate’s clearly unarmed with a book in hand and he briefly gives the siblings a run for their money. Then Reika utilises her Super Smoke abilities to confuse him, allowing her brother and her to pin him down.
• Zocks, Touma, Rintaro and Kento all working together harmoniously to defeat Orihime Wald, gunfire, sword slashes and all.
  • When Orihime Wald tries to write a wish again, Blades Tategami freezes his staff before Golden Alangina destroys it, allowing Xross Saber and Twokaizer to finish it off. The combined attack is so powerful, Orihime Wald’s Gear is destroyed as well!

Chapter 44: The Final Page, Opens.

• After so many episodes of Let's You and Him Fight and self-interests, the ten swordsmen finally unite as one and push forward to confront the enemy in a scene that’s both awesome and sad at the same time.

Chapter 45: Ten Swordsmen, With the World at Stake.

• The whole final charge on Wonder World. It features ten swordsmen going all out against Storious’ legions of Shimi with everyone, including Sophia using their abilities to the fullest to take out the enemy hordes.
• Sophia transforming into Calibur to take on the Shimi, being briefly assisted by the spirits of Daichi and Hayato as she does so.
• Ren being the first to defeat a Lord of Wise, using his own version of Desast’s Finishing Move Calamity Strike. It even shows the spirit of Desast fighting alongside Ren as well. Sadly, by the end of the battle, this burns out what’s left of Desast’s Alter Ride Book.
• Buster staying behind to hold off Highlander himself while telling Rintaro to go assist Touma and Kento.

Chapter 46: Fare Thee Well, My Hero.

• Ogami and Daishinji using the last of their strength to defeat Highlander, with Ogami pulling a heroic sacrifice to allow Daishinji to land the finishing shot.
• Reika actually managing to kill Diago, whilst mortally wounded and unmorphed, using the Eneiken Noroshi and the broken Jikokuken Kaiji.
• Touma as Xross Saber making use of all ten Sacred Swords, imitating their original users’ style and having a cut-in to their transformation calls from last episode.
• Mei, despite the fact she is a civilian, gives a pep talk to Luna and then proceeds to the office to send a message in an attempt to urge people to remember the stories that are about to disappear. Even without Rider powers or any power at all, she does her best to try to save the world, remaining calm and composed as she is too about to fade into nothing.

Final Chapter: As the World Ends, A New Tale is Born.

• The story’s ending is here, and boy is it thrilling.
  • The little boy (Primitive Dragon) reappears to Touma to rescue him from the pit Storious threw him into. Touma joins forces with the lad once more to become Saber Primitive Dragon, and since the boy’s at peace, Touma can access this form without going crazy.
  • Rintaro and Kento barging into Storious’ room just as Touma gets trashed by Storious. Friendship, much?
  • The Mumeiken Kyomu comes to intercept Storious’ attack just as he was about to attack Luna. Apparently Bahato and Desast’s wills still resides within it!
  • Sweet Wonder. The debut of the Wonder Almighty Wonder Ride Book. It was made from Luna and the other remaining Seikens. It carries a thrilling story announcement to signify the beginning of the story’s true end.
    Ogami: The future of the children.
    Daishinji: The voices of the Seikens.
    Ren: The ends of strength.
    Rintaro: Important vows.
    Kento: Important friends.
    Luna: Important promises.
    Touma: The story spins all our feelings...
    All: And continues eternally!
    • Even the transformation is nothing to laugh at. It shows how powerful Saber Almighty is.
      Fully unsheathe the flame! A NEW STORY IS BORN! Wonder! Wonder! Wonder! ALL-ALL-ALL~ ALMIGHTYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
    • With that power, Kento, Rintaro and Touma whack Kamen Rider Storious around with all the Wonder Ride Books’ stories, showing the true power of mankind’s tales. First, Brave Dragon attacks Storious, then Rintarō attacks riding on Lion Senki, and Kento strikes Storious using the power of Lamp do Alangina to ride a flying carpet and summon lightning. When Storious knocks Rintarō and Kento into the air, Touma catches them with the powers of Peter Fantasista and Sarutobi Ninjaden, and attacks Storious with the Kobuta 3 Kyōdai riding on three clouds from Saiyū Journey. They then block all of Storious’s attacks, with Touma using Kin no Buki Gin no Buki’s light, Kento using Jaou Dragon’s dragons, Rintarō summoning Tenkū no Pegasus, and Touma summoning Jackun-to-Domamenoki’s beanstalk. It finally ends with them using the powers of their Wonder Combos to easily win a Beam-O-War, and a triple finisher where they each slash Storious one by one, and then all slash him together.
  • Remember Mei’s actions from last episode? Well, she tells everyone to remember their favourite stories just as both Wonder World and Earth get erased from existence. Touma’s left alone in the dark… until some kids tell him their favourite stories followed by millions more. With that, Touma gains the strength and the book needed to restore both worlds as Wonder World’s new guardian. Spanner in the Works, indeed.
  • Touma’s the new guardian of Wonder World… except it’s now reformed to include his bookstore’s diorama! Oh, and the deceased appear to congratulate and encourage him, including Tassel/Victor, the first Master Logos, Luna and even Bahato and the three Megid leaders! They all encourage him to return to his friends…
  • The sheer power of Touma’s new powers as Wonder World’s new guardian and Wonder Almighty is so great, that it allows Touma to freely visit everyone on Earth, restore the Wonder Ride Books’ powers and bring Yuri and the victims of the Megids’ rampage back to Earth! Yes, it took some time... but still!

Movies

The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin

• Bahato himself, while rather terrifying, possesses great power to leave viewers in shock, especially his transformation which reflects his Power of the Void, by going silent before the sound of his laughter resounds.
• The advancement of the six heroic swordsmen we currently know of. Touma, Rintaro, Kento, Ryo, Ren and Tetsuo go marching in with the Brave Dragon, Lion Senki and Lamp Do Alangina beings accompanying them. The six make a promise to stop Bahato with very determined declarations, each summing up their personality. Together, they transform into their rider forms and charge into Wonder World to stop the crazy swordsman, despite the villain’s taunts.
• The whole battle against Bahato and his legions of Shimi. The swordsmen easily trash those Mooks with every single one of their abilities.
• Touma’s rebuttal speech to Bahato when the latter claims that Humans Are the Real Monsters. Touma acknowledges humanity’s failures, but argues that humans can also rise up from those failures and wars to forge a better future. The other swordsmen agree with Touma.
• Touma obtaining the Emotional Dragon Wonder Ride Book, forged from the two dragons emerging from the Book of Ruin and Brave Dragon uniting. The resulting transformation and jingle is a beauty, reeking of valour, hope and honour. With that new power, Touma can easily match Bahato, but cannot actually kill him. So, once Bahato is weakened, he summons the other two dragons to reseal the crazy Phoenix Swordsman away in the Book of Ruin, stopping the destruction of both Wonder World and the real world.

Trio of Deep Sin

• Kento finally gets his Super Mode after the main series, specifically, the Arabiana Night Wonder Ride Book. The resulting transformation lets him sport Arabic beauty in 1001 Arabian stories, and all the power is enough to finally defeat his girlfriend, who's now the next Amazing Siren Falchion. His Seiken even evolves into Gekkou Raimeiken Ikazuchi with a new sword emblem as the cherry on top.
  "Unsheathe the moonlit lightning! The moonlight shines upon the darkness of night, illuminating a thousand and one stories! ARABIANA NIIIIGHT!!!!! SPARKLE NIGHT!"
• Riku, a mere child, grabs Rekka the Sword of Flames to stop Kamen Rider Falchion and protect Touma; the fact he succeeds in blocking the attack and then lifts the sword like it's nothing after.
