Episode 40:
Isaac is already mentally destroyed before the series even began but with each episode, he gets even more unstable. His actor does a great job portraying that in these couple of episodes.
- Solomon has Body Puppetry
Touma and Kento getting so happy is really cute.
Kento has given Kurayami to Yuri. Yuri has the combined powers of Caliber and Saikou now.
- Solomon's attacks can cross from Earth to the Wonder World via Solomon Zone. He all enlarged and stretched his arms similar to Wizard.
- Sabela made a smoke projection of herself to send a message to the Northern Base from the Southern Base. Wait, can projections even use the portals? Did her ability reached from South to North Pole?
- Solomon automatically knew where both Tassel and Luna were in the Wonder World. No one knew where Luna was and Tassel was trying to find her.
- Solomon set Durandal to attack Sabela so he doesn't need to be there to control him.
- Sabela made a spider-web to immobilize Durandal. Durandal got out of it easily.
- Saikou once again reflected Solomon's attack with his blade and Kurayami but Solomon sealed him via Solomon Break. This results in Solomon gaining both Saikou and Kurayami. Solomon with Saikou and Kurayami is still not enough to beat Xross Saber, THS Blades and Espada Golden Alangina.
- Espada is back and Golden Alangina can hurt Solomon. This is probably, much like him being Caliber, Kento being extremely skilled now.
- Xross Saber destroyed the move (BFR? Black Hole? Idk) that Saikou and Kurayami can do together.
- Xross Saber is immune to Solomon's Body Puppetry.
- Wait, Golden Alangina Espada and THS Blades can hurt Xross Saber.
Saber, Blades and Espada roast tf out of Solomon.
- Blades and Espada have enough willpower to resist Solomon's Body Puppetry. Saikou also has enough willpower to break free of his seal.
- Solomon used Kurayami's power to trap Saber, Blades and Espada but Saikou cut them out and Blades and Espada broke free of Solomon's control.
- Durandal also had enough willpower to resist Solomon's control.
- Featuring Saber Debuts!! This form is really interesting. First, it de-transforms Blades and Espada. Looks like Featuring Saber can use all the powers of Brave Dragon, Lion Senki and Lamp do Alangina books but the interesting part is that Rintaro and Kento can assist by using their respective swords to control their respective books that is on Saber's body. So Rintaro can control the Lion Senki part and Kento can control the Lamp do Alagina part.
- Featuring Saber destroys the Omnipotent Book but it restores itself.
Yoooo, I never would've imagined Sabela crying and Durandal smiling? Impossible.
OPE THAT ENDING.
Crazy episode, tons of feels.

THS Blades and especially Golden Alangina Espada are wayyyyy weaker than Xross Saber but is now able to take on Solomon and hurt Xross Saber. In the Xross Saber, Blades and Espada vs Solomon fight, it's not even Xross Saber carrying the fight. Blades and Espada did just as much as Saber did. And in the Slash and Buster vs Durandal fight, Buster and Slash were able to hold Durandal back from killing Sabela but didn't want to fight him. Blades, Espada, Buster, Slash and Saikou have all shown that they are stronger. Idk where to put Blades and Espada because idk how they would compare to the previous riders because basically everyone are allies now. For now, I'll put Espada somewhere on THS Blades level. I'll put Buster, Slash and Kenzan behind Saikou X-Swordsman because they have improved since then but have yet to shown something that puts them above Saikou. Saikou dual-wielding himself and Kurayami however are consistently shown to be able to handle multiple of Solomon's abilities but never beaten him. So I'll put him below Solomon.
Xross Saber and Crimson Saber is similar. According to the specs, Crimson Saber is stronger but slower than Xross Saber. Since Crimson Saber has the ability advantage, I'll put Xross Saber =< Crimson Saber. Featuring Saber on the other hand outperforms both.
