Summary
Tassel: (gliding on his parasol) Bonne lecture! My name is Tassel.
Using the power of his new sword, Touma was able to thwart Master Logos's ambitions!
But now, that girl has appeared in Wonder World!
We have to find her, before it's too late!
Where, oh where could you be?! Luna...!!

Issac is once again brought down by Touma and his trusty Xross Saber, but the evil leader has one more trick up his sleeve. His Omni Force Wonder Ride Book can control people via their Wonder Ride Books. Issac makes his move on Ryoga, forcing him to attack Reika, before targeting a wandering Luna for her powers and connection between Wonder World and Earth. Meanwhile, in the real world, Touma, Rintaro, and Kento confront Issac, but with his Omni Force book in hand, defeating him will be very difficult...
Episode Tropes
- A God Am I: Isaac can only desperately say this in response to the two defeats he suffers at the hands of Saber, Blades and Espada. He's proven wrong very quickly.
- Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: While Touma and friends defeat Isaac once more in this episode, it's Storious who comes in and finishes off the former Master Logos for good.
- Big Damn Heroes: Buster and Slash come in and save Reika from being cut down by her own brother.
- Dragon Their Feet: Except Storious becomes the new Big Bad after killing the previous one in Master Logos.
- Friend-or-Idol Decision: Discussed. Once Tassel makes clear Touma inheriting Luna's power will shackle him to Wonder World forever, she remarks that this will make his friends sad.
- Heroic Willpower: Sufficient doses are needed to stave off Solomon's People Puppets power, as Rintaro and Kento demonstrate.
- Hijacked by Ganon: Though Isaac has been the Big Bad of the series since his introduction, Storious would instead betray the former Master and be the Final Boss instead.
- Humiliation Conga: Isaac ends up on the end of a big (and ultimately fatal) one throughout the episode, even with his successes such as nearly capturing Luna and Dual Wielding Saikou and Kurayami at one point.
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: Ryoga begs Daishinji and Ogami to cut him down while he's under Solomon's thrall. Thankfully, they don't have to do that.
- It Amused Me: After Storious kills Isaac, he remarks how he found his delusions of godhood "laughable, miserable and beautiful."
- Karmic Death: Isaac manipulated people For the Evulz and declared himself a god. He's outright told he's a false god nobody can have faith in before having the Omniforce destroyed before his eyes. He then dies like a mortal man in pitiful despair - disposed of like one of the pawns he saw everyone else as.
- Kneel Before Zod: Isaac pulls this moments before his death at the hands of Storious.
- No Body Left Behind: Isaac goes out this way, being vaporized by Storious.
- People Puppets: Solomon uses the Omniforce's power to turn Durendal against his sister and Blades and Espada against Touma. The Riders are fully aware of their controlled state and struggle against it every step of the way.
- Psychic Block Defense: The power of Xross Saber make Touma immune to Isaac's ability to hijack peoples' bodies. So he hijacks his friends instead.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Rintaro and Kento deliver one to Isaac, highlighting how his incessant scheming made them lose the very faith in him he seeks out of them as a "god".
- The Reveal: Luna isn't merely the girl who connects the two worlds, but is the embodiment of Wonder World itself, as Tassel reminds her.
- Significant Wardrobe Shift: Storious gains a new set of threads after claiming the Omniforce book and disposing of Master Logos.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Storious disposes of Isaac after his defeat at the hands of the Riders, much like how the former treated Bahato.Storious: Your tale has come to its end.
Storious: The final moments of a man who chased godhood... were truly laughable, miserable and beautiful.
The story will continue to be spun by yours truly.
Such that we meet a beautiful conclusion.
