Man, it sucks for Touma to lose Luna again, after he finally saved her from that creep Master Logos. I really want Touma, Luna and Kento to be reunited for good.

Him discarding Ikazuchi for Kurayami does make it pretty obvious that the end point for his arc is taking up Ikazuchi again. Whether back as Espada or dual wielding. Hoping for the latter, but both choices are still thematically strong for his character. He either discards Kurayami and hands it to Yuri and becomes his own swordsman, free from the shackles of his father's legacy, or he takes up both swords, stays as Calibur signifying his own individuality as a swordsman while also reinstating the Calibur name to a side of good.

Unless Ikazuchi gets a new book, going back to it would be a downgrade from Kurayami. Kento choosing Kurayami was as much a practical choice as it was personal. Like many others, I hope that him leaving Ikazuchi behind is a setup for Mei to inherit it.

Making his own Sophia as well substituting the WRBs for Alter books, he's just missing the swords, and it's not particularly hard for them to gather again since everyone will probably get together at one point. I won't be surprised if he turns out to be the final villain, hell, I'm kind hoping he is since I'm far more interested in what's he up to compared to Logos.

I mentioned the possibility of Storious being the final villain in the previous episode thread. With how fast Master Logos' plan is progressing and how generic his motive is, he seems like the kind of dangerous leader type villain similar to Freeze, who will eventually become the first victim for the Primary Rider's final form. Either that or he'll be like Gamedeus and get overtaken by Storious in the final arc. I'm not particularly interested in Storious either, but there seems to be some stuff we don't know about him yet, which might be important later.

It's humorous how Yuri just fell out of the sky in human form along with the other Seiken Swords! Regarding how he disappeared before, I think that was an effect of Kyomu's negation power temporarily reverting Saikou to its original state, which had a different intelligence to Yuri's. This would be ironic, considering how Yuri was the one who originally sealed Bacht 1000 years ago. Saikou was also attacked by Calibur, who has the power to inhibit shadows. Since Saikou's humanoid body is a shadow cast from the sword's light, that probably weakened him enough for Falchion to finish him off.
