I'd be pretty shocked if you're assuming correctly here! To me at least, that Saber/Slash fight is easily a highlight of the entire series, so as fun as X-Swordman is coming in at the end, it's hard to compete with the impression left by that earlier duel. This was the first episode of Saber directed by Teruaki Sugihara, and as ever, the man just knows how to make things purposefully cool. You've got a line in the script where Touma says how heavy each swing of Slash's blade is, and that translates on the screen to the sick as heck use of slow motion to emphasize every individual strike. And that's just one detail in there!
It's also an extra memorable fight because it's just real darn good use of the suits? One of the simple things that makes this stretch of Saber so fun for me is that Brave Dragon, Crimson Dragon, and Dragonic Knight were all treated as equals in a way that generally doesn't happen with modern Rider shows as soon as a single big power-up makes its debut. It's cool in general, but this particular fight scene also harnessess that to further fuel the excellent drama going on in the scene, and it's a complete joy to watch. Combine that with Yuri's ever-growing appreciation of modern heroism resulting in him cosplaying as a guy he hated a month ago, and you've got an episode of Saber where the writing, the direction,
and
the merchandising are all working in beautiful harmony to bring out the best in each other.
