Summary

The flaming Dra-Strong Dragonic knight arrives to set the battle ablaze!

Tassel: My friends! My name is Tassel.
Whoa there... we've got a terrible situation on our hands here!
I really mean it this time.
The locations Calibur's posse sent to the Wonder World have created five pillars and rings of light.
Just one more and the giant book in the center will open, connecting this world with the Wonder World and granting them great power.
Touma regained his memory, but Kento fell to Calibur's blade!

An angry Kento confronts Calibur alone, but is still powerless before Calibur's overwhelming power! Also, the Megids' plans, which involve a set of pillars suddenly appearing, is nearing completion; they will end up having access to Wonder World when the pillars are erected and a door opens. Will the swordsmen be able to save the day and stand up to Calibur?

Episode Trope:

• Darkest Hour: The Megid's plan has been completed, the swordsmen are beaten down without a plan to stop them, Rintaro continues to fight without recovering after saving Kento, who is just barely clinging to life himself and that's still only scratching the surface.
• Disappears into Light: Darkness, to be accurate: Kento is swalloved up by dark clouds after Calibur's defeat.
• Dragon Rider: Dragonic Knight allows Touma to ride Brave Dragon into combat.
• Evil Laugh: How Zooous and Legeiel celebrate as the Megid's plan comes to fruition.
• History Repeats: The Megid succeed with their plan to open the door of truth, and Touma loses yet another friend in the process.
• Hope Spot: Touma unlocks Dragonic Knight's powers, allowing him to overpower Calibur easily... but cannot find Kurayami after defeating the dark swordsman and can only watch helplessly as Kento disappears into a cloud of darkness.
• Mysterious Watcher: Tassel's visitor can be seen once again lurking around the battlefield, though alone now.
• No-Sell: Thanks to his Mid-Season Upgrade, the Draconic Knight, Saber is completely unaffected by all of Calibur's attack towards him.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Whatever the Sword of Darkness did to Kento was topped by his eyes glowing red.
• There Is Another: Storious asks Kamijo if they'll need Ikazuchi to complete their plan to complete their ritual. Kamijo points out that they do have an alternative sword in their possession - Kurayami.
• Wham Shot: The Sword of Darkness has done something to Kento. What exactly is yet to be explained.
