Summary
One step closer to godhood.
With Reika kidnapping Luna after her short reunion with her best friend, Touma tries to reclaim her. Meanwhile, the siblings question start to doubt their loyalty to Master Logos. Meanwhile, Master Logos prepares Luna, the stolen Seikens and Wonder Ride Books to make of Book of All.
Touma wakes up from a nightmare about Kento and Luna and heads out with the others to stop Master Logos, but their confrontation is all according to Master Logos' plan. Now the end of the world is nigh...or is it?
Episode Tropes:
- A God Am I: Master Logos states his intent to achieve godhood in this episode. He comes very close to succeeding. Though the ritual is being halted, he gains the evil Seiken, Caladbolg, and the Omniforce Wonder Ride Book.
- Batman Gambit: By kidnapping Luna, Master Logos uses her as bait to draw out the Northern Base Riders as well as Kento, who all lose their swords and Wonder Ride Books one way or another.
- The Bus Came Back: Yuri is freed from his temporary incapacitation after Touma frees the Seikens from Master Logos.
- The Seikens being unsealed and given back to their Riders also means Kamen Riders Buster and Slash are active once more.
- Diving Save: Sophia attempts to take Luna's place in the ritual by jumping up to her, but Logos grounds her with a magic blast.
- Heel Realization:
- Downplayed. Kento finds himself confused as to why he defended Ren from Bahat's finisher. But, when Touma returns the Seikens, he spurns Ikazuchi in favor of Kurayami.
- It's subtle, but Logos' proclamation of A God Am I and the siblings' uselessness gets a growl of scorn from Reika, whom Ryoga has to hold back.
- Near-Villain Victory: Master Logos manages to gather the eleven Seikens and the nineteen Wonder Ride Books, as well as Luna, and very nearly succeeds in acquiring the Book of Omniscience. The only reason this doesn't count as a total victory for him is Touma's intervention at the last minute, rescuing Luna and returning both Seikens and Books to their respective users.
- Pyrrhic Victory: The heroes manage to mostly sabotage Logos' attempt to revive the Book of Omniscience, but he still gets a Book and Seiken of his own and Luna fades away once more.
- Spanner in the Works: Master Logos (and everyone, for that matter) certainly didn't predict Touma and Luna's bond to allow the former to rescue the latter, thus disrupting Master Logos' plan.
- Calibur was this earlier in the battle, sealing the Seikens Logos gathered. Not that it took, mind.
- Taking the Bullet: Kento takes another attack from Bahat again, this time defending Ren.
- We Will Meet Again: Luna tells Touma such when she fades away once more.
- You Can't Thwart Stage One: Despite everyone's best efforts, Master Logos manages to succeed in his plan in gathering all the Seikens and Wonder Ride Books.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:
- Master Logos claims the Shindai siblings' swords and books during the episode, much to their chagrin.
- He also says this outright to Bahat after the latter is defeated by Emotional Dragon.Logos (To Bahat): This is where your role ends.
