The Decepticons make their move to take the rest of the world, forcing the Alliance to respond.
- All for Nothing: Euphemia's efforts to gain the aid of Euro Britannia are rendered worthless when the Decepticons just conquer the nation outright.
- Batman Gambit: Under pressure from suspicion, Xingke is forced to enact the "Prime Dragon" protocol, which entails him to scapegoat Gao Hai as an Autobot-Black Knight mole and to self-destruct his comm device to provide as "evidence". However, this now presently leaves him, Kaguya, and Sayoko with no means of getting in touch with the Autobot-Black Knight Alliance.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Marrybell gets Geassed by Shin when she tries to stop him.
- Did Not Die That Way: It's revealed that Marrybell's sister Euliya survived the bombing that killed her mother, instead being kidnapped by V.V. and forced to join the Geass Order. She then died for real trying to escape with Orpheus.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: Gao Hai is beheaded by Xingke here, as opposed to being merely cut down by the man as he was in canon.
- The Purge: Airachnid wipes out the Euro Britannian House of Lords to enable the takeover.
- Wham Episode: The Decepticons take over Euro Britannia and prepare to invade the EU (utilizing a version of the plan Julius Kingsley came up with in canon), while also preparing to take over the Chinese Federation by means of marrying Tianzi to Schneizel. Gao Hai has Xingke kill him when the other Eunuchs start becoming suspicious, and Xingke is forced to destroy their only communication device with the Alliance. And at the end of the chapter, Optimus' group and Shockwave discover that Grimlock is on Earth.
