We got some stuff explained via Tassel, stuff we've already known but he puts a little bit more depth. We also get some sort of backstory for him, he sat alone in the Wonder World despairing, looking for the last hope of which he saw in Touma. Quite sad. My favorite part of the scene is Kento and Yuri's reactions, whom are seen in the camera for way longer than the rest when Tassel was explaining. We all know Touma's gonna bypass his fate, but I do kind of hope we get an "Ankh" ending for Touma. Like, he still gets stuck in the Wonder World, but he makes a promise that he'll find a way to come back and "change his story".

Yuri clenches his teeth, I interpreted the scene as Yuri being mad at himself for sealing himself with Saikou for all those years, leaving his old friend alone. Kento doesn't say much, but he stares down in distress as well since he knows all this.

Dezast vs Storious + Charybdis! He puts up a great fight, felt like he would have won had Charybis not been there. There's not much meaning to Dezast using Falchion, but I feel like this was somewhat promoting the Specter x Blades thing since Falchion is a Ghost kitbash. Tho, I could put on my tinfoil hat and say Kyomu being wielded by Dezast has a some symbolism DEEPEST LORE meaning that he's rather "empty" by himself and he constantly goes out for something to fill that with "fun". Whether it be some sort little sister in Kanon or his antics with Ren.

Storious is 4/5 into his plan and next week, he'll finish the job. Next week is also directed by Kami so we're getting good stuff.
