History Recap / KamenRiderSaberEp42SoBeginsTheBeautifulEnd

Touma has just been told that as he gains more power, the faster he will start to vanish from the world. Such a destiny aligns with one of Kento's various premonitions of the future. However, Touma still decides to forge on with Luna, seeking to carve out a new future where he doesn't need to disappear. However, when Tassel searched for Luna, she was nowhere to be found. Instead, Storious appears before Tassel. Just what will this 2,000 years later encounter hold for the destinies of these two old friends? Meanwhile, a now immortal Desast aims his sword towards Ren. As this story progresses steadily onwards, it marks the beginning of a beautiful end.

* ItsAllMyFault: When Storious kills Tassel, the latter blames stumbling onto the powers of Wonder World for FaceHeelTurn his friends’ decline.

* SomeKindOfForceField: The swordsmen link their power to Touma's to erect one when [[spoiler: Tassel's death]] causes Wonder World to bleed through.

* FriendlyEnemy: Storious had some sort of respect for Tassel despite their opposition, given his face upon [[spoiler: killing him]] isn’t one of smug satisfaction but [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone restrained horror]]. [[DownplayedTrope Not that it stops him from speaking ill of Tassel’s final moments when confronting Touma]].
* HopeSpot: Tassel trying to talk down Storious from claiming his book seems to work for a moment. [[spoiler: But it's all for naught and Storious still stabs Tassel anyway.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: When Storious kills Tassel, the latter blames stumbling onto the powers of Wonder World for [[FaceHeelTurn his friends’ decline.

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Storious kills Tassel and claims his book, and begins the merger of Wonder World with the real world.]]

* CallBack: This is not the first time that Mei loses sight of a child she's watching over, as it happened in Chapter 3 as well. [[spoiler: Though this time, it's ''Luna'' she loses, not Sora.]]

* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Ren and Desast are both grappling with this conundrum mentally, responding in different ways: Ren actually ignores Desast's attempts to fight so he can ponder, [[HazyFeelTurn considering the idea of making a change]]. Desast meanwhile [[spoiler: provokes Touma in retaliation for Ren's 'faltering']], only to lose all motivation to the novelist's uncanny ability to bluntly point out the issue he'd wanted to ignore.
* DidYouThinkICantFeel: Conversed. Desast was [[spoiler: made by Storious on a whim, without any reason behind it]], but the very mention of it ends up being a BerserkButton. This allows Touma to connect the dots between this sudden outburst and Desast's interest in Ren. Touma pointing Desast's feelings out causes the Megid to [[spoiler: lose all motivation to fight and walk off]].
* DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler:Upon his death, Tassel dissolves into glowing bubbles.]]
* EmpathicEnvironment: Upon [[spoiler: Tassel’s death]], the bright cheerful skies of Wonder World are replaced by a raging [[RedSkyTakeWarning crimson]] thunderstorm.

* ItsAllMyFault: When Storious [[spoiler: kills Tassel]], the latter blames stumbling onto the powers of Wonder World for [[FaceHeelTurn his friends’ decline]].
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Storious points out that killing Tassel in Wonder World would make him DeaderThanDead.]]

* TheStinger: [[spoiler: Mei and Luna conversing in a park, then Luna makes herself scarce while Mei is distracted.]]

* WhamShot: [[spoiler: Storious gathering all five books from the Wonder World's Chosen at the end of the episode.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Touma's message about the futility of [[MightMakesRight power for its own sake]] finally begins sinking into Ren, who's losing [[HazyFeelTurn much of his battle-lust]] to [[JourneyToFindOneself curiosity about inner strength]]. This irritates Desast, who provokes Touma in retaliation [[NotSoDifferent only to be confronted with the fact he's having similar feelings]].

* BloodKnight: Deconstructed with Desast. Touma deduces Desast's devil-may-care BloodKnight attitude stems from his lack of a purpose. Desast doesn't really deny it so much as walk away.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Implied with Luna, who sits at a playground watching other kids play. She [[spoiler: tries to avoid Mei when she discovers her]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere promptly books it later]] when the woman's distracted.
