And thus we get Desast’s actual final bow (as the actor was brought in to do a voiceover for Ren using the Calamity Strike), destroying Spartan by invoking exact words on “the Lords of Wise know all of the techniques usable with the Seiken and Wonder Ridebooks”. And also his book gets dusted, meaning Ren won’t be going the way of Eiji and Gou, and will be getting on with his life.
And speaking of Desast’s book, also thought this set came out earlier in the show’s run, it’s time to present the video now, as my final bow for this thread’s running feature. Awaken, the Legend Megid with armour of stone! Rampage… you who holds the three attribute powers! “Calamity Strike!” Awaken, the Story Megid grouped together! Villain Rider! Villain Volume 1! The malicious book draws more power from the sword! The power of fear is imbued in the sword! Villain Rider! Villain Volume 2! The malicious book gains further power to attack! When the three books of malice are full, the sword of fear attacks! Villain Rider! Villain Volume 3! The horrifying sword imbued with malice is now here. And our second big development, Sophia becomes Calibur. The actress semi-requested this, because she’d been watching the show with her son and he was slightly disappointed his mother was only on the sidelines. The producers agreed, but they had to remake the Calibur chest for the one female suit actor on set, since the original was designed for a much bulkier male suit actor.

I mean, Luna is literally a symbolic person. She doesn't have a fixed identity or biology. (She... probably doesn't even have a biology?) She looks like a kid to interact with Kid Touma. If that's not where the story is anymore, she can and should change to meet it. Which she can do, as the imaginary manifestation of a fairytale dimension.

We also get Sophia as Calibur and really... when it comes to who would take up the mantle, I'm glad it got to be her? She has a deep connection to both prior Caliburs, so her getting to wield Kurayami feels right. And I'm glad she did end up wielding Kurayami purely because there were a lot of people who would've been fine with Yuri dual wielding Saikou and Kurayami and to them I say... "You guys are boring".
(I would've liked if it was Mei as well though....) Quote:
*The alternative for bringing back Espada but keeping Kento as Calibur was an... interesting idea the staff had. And that was basically a new character with no prior buildup. So while I do feel a bit sad that Kento doesn't own Kurayami anymore, I am glad that Espada isn't being ridden around by a newbie who likely would've bloated the cast just a bit too much.

The emotional moments of Mei, Luna and (suddenly!) Storius also only emphasize the importance of what is happening and remind you that not everything is decided by the sword. Although, of course, one cannot do without the final battle between good and evil. Last edited by Mesnick; 03-13-2023 at 01:58 PM.. |

Calibur's this hilarious thing of... like, Calibur was just One Of The Gang for hundreds of years -- everyone's favorite Evil Dragon Swordsman with a Wonder Ride Book that shouts about Evil Reads and Getting Under Keen (?) -- and then the last three guys went and made it weird. It's really delightful that Calibur being some terrifying force of malevolent evil and inhumanity... like, that's recent, and he used to be a really cool guy! Hayato was the upbeat, goofy one!

While I would like to see Mei as a rider, Calibur is one of those cases where I am against it. Kuraiami doesn't suit her aesthetically or personality. At the very least, Sophia has a connection with Hayate and Kamize, but Mei would be much more suitable for Espada or Saber (given that Touma has a Xross Saber, Rekka could be shared).

Spoilers for ToDS
Each of the main trio get a second element for their final forms. Touma gets... uuuuh... creation, Rintaro gets ice, and Kento gets what I'm guessing is darkness. To me, the second element shouldn't count in determining an occupied slot. However, I decided to use Tategami to aid in the creation of an ice Seiken for Mei, the Hyogaken Shohyo (氷河剣霜氷).

It was solely to help make a point that the second element shouldn't count for whether an element is taken. I didn't know you were planning to watch it. Anyway, I decided to use Tategami to aid in the creation of an ice Seiken for Mei, the Hyogaken Sōhyō (氷河剣霜氷). The reading of the ending part is taken from 総評 (overall comment)
Books in order of obtainment
The Megid trio also end up with newly-designed Rider forms and Seikens. Legiel has the Seiken of glass, the Hariken Kaiha. (玻璃剣壊玻) Kaiha is also the reading of 会派 (faction). His books are (in order of obtainment again)

Don’t worry, he’s making stuff up. None of this happens in Trio of Deep Sin. And frankly, I’m not sure how he came to the conclusion that it did.
