Touma gives his own big speech, about how stories bring happiness and bring people together, and says that, hey, even if his stories were predestined to be written. He tries to make this apply to Touma as well, trying to tell him that Touma's own novels are also pointless since all the creativity pales beneath the grand destiny and all that. But since Storious is a main villain in a tokusatsu show, he takes it into such extremes that he wants to wipe out all of humanity because destiny is meaningless and stuff. It's something that would drive you crazy, of course. Which means nothing he created was original, and it was pre-determined. has everything set in stone (or, well, paper) which includes all of his creations. Storious continues his little speech, and it's probably the first time we actually see his motivations in full? It's still insane, of course, but I can understand it a bit more?

Both of them seem to fall as they reach towards each other, and if this was an early-Heisei show it'd be a pretty good indication that they're dead. We get one of the most badass deliveries of Ryoga's "do not anger me" catchphrase, and Reika manages to deliver the final blow, stabbing the Lord (while untransformed!) with the pieces of Ryoga's trident. They put up a good fight, but ultimately the dual-blade wielding Lord cuts down Reika, slices Durendal's trident and does an ora-ora-ora barrage of sword strikes on him. ![]() ![]() which is a bit of a short moment, but it's pretty cool since the show makes it pretty apparent that the Shindais are in a pretty sorry state. Rintarou shows up to help out and freeze the Lord for a bit, but Durendal tells him to move on. They just get quite bullied by the Lord they are fighting, whose powers seem to allow him to replicate the Shindai siblings' moves. The Shindai siblings aren't quite as fortunate, and I feel like they get perhaps the longest fight scene in this episode.
