-->'''Storious:''' I've finally found you...'''''VICTOR!!!'''''

Master Logos has reached a spectacular end, the conclusion of his story, as the bearer of the new one now falls to Storious. Desast suddenly appears before Storious, while Tassel who protected Luna appears before Touma. He tells the story of one who is not human, and unravels the secrets behind the Almighty Tome and the Wonder World. Stories that have continued on for thousands of years all in desperate search of such power have all culminated here. As the past connects to the present, it forces people to make choices, and those choices will be what decides the future. So, at the end of the day, who decides the ending of this story?

* DualWielding: Taken UpToEleven in this episode. First off we have Desast wielding both his original sword and ''Kyomu'' against Storious and the Charybdis Megid, then next we have Buster and Slash wielding the original and copies of their swords, and finally Touma using both the ''Xross Saber'' and ''Rekka'' for the first time since the former debuted.

* AbsenteeActor: Both Shindai siblings do not appear in the episode.

* TheReveal: A bunch of them.
