Iliess is given one last chance to gather the energy needed to revive Daitanix, unaware that Zahab has ulterior motives in sending her off in what turns out to be a suicide mission.
Episode Tropes
- Back from the Dead: Iliess resurrects members of her Majin Tribe to hold back the Gingamen from destroying her spire.
- Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: While the Gingamen and Hyuuga are responsible for stopping Iliess' plans and destroy her physical body, Zahab and Batobas are the ones to permenately kill her.
- Foreshadowing:
- Zahab and Shelinda lie to Bucrates that Daitanix is shaking due to stormy weather, the scholar not buying it as he learns the Demon Beast is rotting and that Zahab intends to sacrifice his niece's soul jewel to revive Daitanix if she dies in battle against the Gingaman. It is only after Iliess's death that Bucrates learns the reason that he was lied to was because Zahab knew the truth of Budoh's frame-up and the surviving Balban members no longer trusted him and on top of that, Illiess had long outlived her usefulness and whether she won or not, they would've killed her all the same.
- During the mecha fight, notice that while Gingaoh manages to get back on its feet, Bull Taurus does not. This becomes important in the following episode.
- Internal Reveal: Bucrates learns of Daitanix's decay.
- Killed Off for Real: Iliess dies in this episode.
- Knew It All Along: Zahab reveals that he knew Iliess and Bucrates were behind framing Budoh long ago, and waited for the right moment to exact the proper retribution.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Bucrates is backstabbed by his student who kills his niece permanently as payback for Bucrates and Illiess conspiring to get Budoh killed and screwing up the Balban's plans in the process.
- One-Winged Angel: Iliess absorbs the spirits of her fallen Majin to become Evil Empress Iliess.
- Resurrective Immortality: Iliess reveals that even if she was destroyed, she will not die due to her soul jewel remaining. And with it, Bucrates can perform a ceremony to ressurect her. A shame that doesn't happen.
- Rule of Symbolism: Bucrates attempts to revive Iliess, but is wounded with a blade to the back by Zahab while Batobas permanently kills Iliess. In a sense, Bucrates is stabbed in the back by the Balban.
- Spot the Imposter; When Ryouma is confronted by an illusion of Yuuta, he quickly sees that the latter emits no shadow and destroys it with a Mane of Fire.
- Wham Episode: Iliess dies and Batobas takes her place as the last general. Hers and Bucrates' conspiracy is found, with Zahab revealing that he figured out their treachery and officially cutting ties with his former master.
- Wham Shot: Zahab slashing Bucrates in the back just as he prepared to resurrect Illiess.
