Summary
A new challenger has appeared!
Rintaro who decided to finally make his move, advances. He tells Mei that he will return to Touma, but before that, he goes to face Master Logos alone to determine the truth as a swordsman. Upon hearing this, Touma and his colleagues think that Rintaro is in danger and try to rush the Southern Base. Rintaro meets Master Logos and asks him of his true intentions. What is the true purpose of Master Logos? A new swordsman stands before Rintaro. His name is Ryoga Shindai, also known as Kamen Rider Durendal. He notices as the Seiken from that very same swordsman starts to point towards Rintaro.
Episode Tropes:
- Amplifier Artifact: Elemental Dragon Wonder Ride Book served as this, boosting the power of any Rider with their specific elemental power.
- Broken Pedestal: Rintaro's admiration of the Sword of Logos finally breaks after Master Logos admits to his evil plan.
- The Bus Came Back: Sophia makes her triumphant return to Northern Base thanks to Kento's rescue.
- I Surrender, Suckers: Touma fakes surrendering his Seiken and Wonder Ride Books to Ryoga, only to serve as a distraction for a surprise attack by Yuri.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Sophia is unaware of Kamijo's fate and thus assumes that the Calibur who arrived is him and is stunned by Kento revealing himself.
- In the Back: Durendal takes advantage of Yuri's temporary distraction to warp behind an untransformed Touma to slash him from the rear.
- Internal Reveal: Rintaro finally learns that Master Logos is indeed the traitor within the Sword of Logos.
- No-Sell: Downplayed. Even with the variety of elementals within Elemental Dragon, Saber effectively become intangible yet still receiving some damage from Durendal's attack.
- Villainous Rescue: Kento saves Sophia from Southern Base for reasons yet unknown.
