Touma witnesses what a real swordsman should be before Tetsuo "Someday, I will..." However, his attention turns towards saving Shingo who has been turned into a Megid, while he is facing problems with his form appearing and disappearing very suddenly. Meanwhile, at the Southern Base, Tetsuo tells the others that Touma was telling the truth about that human turning into a Megid. However, Reika is suddenly forced to make a ruthless decision as she tells Ren that the Sword of Lightning is still in Touma's possession. The battle between Saber, Saikou, the Megid, and Legeiel is joined by the clashing of swords against each other, resulting in a great melee. Just then, Yuri sees Touma trying to save Shingo while still being hurt.
Episode Tropes:
- Aside Glance: At the end of the episode, Yuri looks straight at the camera after healing Touma and Mei.
- Foreshadowing:
- Yuri declares that he will take matters into his own hands and become a swordsman once more, with the intent of basing his Next Tier Power-Up on the Show Within a Show comic book SwordXMan he had been engrossed in reading. This new form would debut the next episode.
- During The Stinger, Tetsuo informs Ryo that Storious wasn't aware Sophia had been kidnapped. The scene then cuts to a Wham Shot of an imprisoned Sophia with what seems to be a Southern Base swordsman guarding her.
- Poor Communication Kills: Once again, Touma tries to convince Rintaro he isn't Drunk with Power, however Reika cuts into the conversation and says otherwise, insisting that the former is power hungry. Furthermore Yuri also butts into the conversation to cryptically state that Touma is destined to receive great power. This once again puts a confused Rintaro at a loss for words.
