Summary
The Hero never gives up.
Tassel: My friends, my name is Tassel.

During the fight, he appeared to have an epiphany of sorts.
Will he really succeed in drawing out the true power of Rekka...?

At the Southern Base, Tetsuo's departure has caused tensions within the guild as Ryo blames Reika due to her disdain towards Tetsuo. On the other hand, Touma, whose friends have returned for the first time in a while, is starting to enjoy himself for once. Just then, his Sword of Flames begins to glow brightly, giving Touma the sense that soon he will be able to separate humans from the Megid. Meanwhile, Storious implants the new Megid's Alter Book, who was previously defeated, into someone else. This person being the twin sister of their first victim, Remi. In the midst of their search for Remi, Ryo stands before Touma and Mei. What could he possibly want from them?
Episode Tropes:
- The Bad Guy Wins: Downplayed. While Touma saves both twins from the Fate Worse than Death that befalls all potential Megiddo victims, Storious is still able to create a Charybdis Ridebook to summon the Mamono as and when he wants to.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Despite Saber have improved his fighting style from the previous episode, he was unable to land a single solid hit towards Buster, a veteran warrior with more experience than him.
- Died Standing Up: Non-lethal example; Touma fell unconscious while standing up after receiving (and successfully blocking) a hit from Ryo.
