The forming of the Royal Knights
"Just hold still, Asta." Mimosa instructed as she started to heal the ash-white hair teen.
"S-sure." Asta responded as he sat up slightly.
The Vermillion hair girl managed to get to Asta quickly because Brave Dragon flew to where she was and delivered her to him.
"How did we end up in a draw?" Asta asked, becoming confused.
"That Green Mantis Magic Knight, En, used that giant mushroom thing to grab our crystal and crushed it just at the same that I fired an attack at his team's crystal, basically a last-ditch attempt." Mimosa explained before gaining a sad expression on her face.
"I'm sorry, Asta. I knew that you wanted to win this tournament, but we ended up in a draw instead." Mimosa explained, her eyes looking at the ground.
"Its okay. Its better than nothing." Asta said, causing Mimosa's face to lit up slightly.
"Say's the person who lost our battle." A voice commented, causing the both of them to turn their heads towards the source of the voice to look at Yuno, now out of his Spirit Dive.
"Yeah, Yeah. But next time I will win." Asta responded in a confident tone of voice.
"I doubt it." Yuno responded, a small smirk appearing on his face.
"We see about that." Asta said, a grin appearing on his own face.
The conversation caused a smile to appear on Mimosa's face before noticing something.
"Yuno? Are you out of breath?" Mimosa asked as she saw that her fellow Golden Dawn Magic Knight is breathing heavily.
"I'm fine. I just used a lot of Mana to win our battle." Yuno explained, causing Mimosa to blink her eyes, never thinking that she would see the holder of the four-leaf Clover Grimoire and the host of the wind spirit to be out of breath.
The Vermillion hair girl then turn her attention back to Asta.
"Your injuries are almost healed, Asta." Mimosa informed the ash-white hair teen, making him to glance over his shoulder.
"Thanks, Mimosa." Asta said with a bright smile on his face, causing Mimosa to blush slightly.
"Well done, everyone. You showed us the very best of your abilities throughout the tournament." Julius said to the Magic Knights, apart from those that are in the infirmary or been taking away.
"Indeed! With your skills, the Eye Of The Midnight Sun will tremble in front of the Magic Knights!" Augustus said in a loud voice.
"Why did have to be those two that draw everyone's attention? Everyone should have been in awe at the might of the royals." Augustus thought as he glanced towards Asta and Yuno, not happy that two unknowns have caught everyone's attention during the final match rather than Mimosa and Noelle.
"It will take a few days to decided who among you will be chosen as members of the Royal Knights. However, despite this, I want all of you, including the rest of your fellow squad-mates to sharpen your skills to the fullest in case the Eye Of The Midnight Sun decided to throw a sneak attack." Julius explained, making everyone nod their heads.
"Rintaro." Asta whispered, causing the wielder of Nagare to turn his attention the wielder of Rekka.
"Why is the Wizard King carrying Charmy?" Asta asked, noticing that Julius has the Black Bull cotton Mage in his arms.
"Well, during the match, Charmy decided to sit within his lap to gain a better view of the battle between you and Yuno." Rintaro explained, causing a surprised expression to appear on Asta's face.
However, it was then that the ash-white hair teen noticed the announcer from the corner of his eyes.
"Now is the chance to talk to him." Asta thought, gaining a thinking expression on his face.
Sometime later, the announcer is making his way down from the viewing platform through a staircase.
"It seems that this world is well protected with this group of Kamen Riders." The announcer thought before stopping.
"Anyway. Time to head back now." The announcer muttered before beginning to take out an object.
"Hey!" A voice called, stopping the announcer from the pressing the button as he turned around to see Asta, slightly out of breath.
"Hm? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your friends?" The announcer asked, becoming confuse.
"I have something to ask you." Asta responded, causing the announcer to tilt his head to the side slightly.
"Why did you have most of your attention on the Sword Of Logos Magic Knights than the other Magic Knights?" Asta asked, causing the announcer to chuckle slightly.
"Is it wrong for a senior to observe the next generation of Kamen Riders." The announcer responded, causing Asta to blink his eyes.
"Senior? Are you a member of the Sword Of Logos?" The ash-white hair teen asked, tilting his head to the side.
"No. I'm not a member of the Sword Of Logos…." The announcer said before taking off his cloak.
Asta's eyes widened as he stared at the figure who is wearing mostly black armor, which also includes some pink and silver, that has a silver strip running down the entirety of the middle section. His helmet is mainly silver with the visor seemingly having some unknown letters written on it and two clock hands positioned in a V shape. Strapped to his waist his is a belt buckle that is white and slightly hexagon in shape, with the center have the number 2018 done in pink, and two black pieces on either side with one of them having a circular object, which seemingly have the armored person's face on it, slotted on the right black piece. Similar circular objects are attached to straps on his arms.
"I am Kamen Rider Zi-O, the inheritor of the Kamen Riders...along with holding the title of the demon king of time." The revealed Kamen Rider Zi-O introduce himself whilst striking a pose.
"D-d-demon king?!" Asta exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Hehehe, you don't have to take the "Demon" part literally...well, maybe not now anyway." Zi-O said whilst chuckling slightly and rubbing the back of his helmet.
"So...who exactly are you? You said that you aren't a member of the Sword of Logos, but you're a Kamen Rider..." Asta, becoming on guard just in case he's an evil Rider like Calibur.
"The title of Kamen Rider is something much larger than the Sword of Logos." Zi-O responded, causing Asta to become confused.
"The title of "Kamen Rider" is in fact a legacy that is made up of different groups of warriors that fight for justice. Think of it as the Magic Knights, an organization that is made up of different squads yet work together to defend the Clover Kingdom." Zi-O explained, making Asta nod his head slightly.
"I think I understand….." The ash-white hair teen said in an unsure tone of voice.
"The different groups of Kamen Riders starts off with a primary Rider before expanding to numerous other Riders. You're the primary Rider of your group, or should I say Saber is the primary Rider, among the other 31 primary Kamen Riders." Zi-O explained, making Asta to become shock.
"I'm the primary Rider of my group!?" Asta exclaimed in his head.
"The legacy of the Kamen Riders is split into three categories, or eras as they are properly known as, called the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa eras. I'm from the Heisei era, the twentieth and last Kamen Rider of that era, whilst you're from the Reiwa era, being second place within the timeline." Zi-O explained, making Asta nod his head slightly.
However, it was then that the wielder of Rekka realized something.
"I can sense Mana from you, but it seemed to be dwarfed by a greater presence...?" Asta asked, becoming tense whilst thinking that Zi-O has been concealing the presence throughout the entire tourament.
"The powers that I wield aren't entirely magic based." Zi-O responded in a simple tone of voice.
"Huh?" Asta said in a confused tone of voice.
"Each Kamen Rider group wield different forms of powers to fight with. Whilst many of them wield mythical powers, there is a group who fully embrace the power of magic whose primary Rider is Known as Kamen Rider Wizard, the 14th Heisei Kamen Rider as well as known as the Ringed Magician." Zi-O explained whilst Asta gained an expression of awe on his face.
"So these other Kamen Riders wield powers that do not originated from magic." Asta thought, wondering what sort of appearances the other Kamen Riders have.
"Going back to you comment about the presence that you're sensing from me, I'm able to wield the powers of other Kamen Riders through items call Ride-Watches, hence "inheritor of the Kamen Riders"." Zi-O explained before removing a red Ride-watch from one of his straps and showed it to Asta whilst turning a dial and pressing a black button that is located at the top of the Ride-Watch.
(Digital Beeping) Saber!
A voice announced, causing Asta's eyes to widened.
"You have a Ride-Watch based on me?!" Asta exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Yep!" Zi-O responded in a cheerful tone of voice.
"How?!" Asta demanded as he point a finger at Zi-O.
"I'm a Kamen Rider whose powers are based on time, so I may or may not have gained the powers of Saber from a different timeline." Zi-O explained before placing the "Saber" Ride-Watch away.
"D-different timeline?!" Asta thought, trying to wrap his head around that concept just as Zi-O took out another Ride-Watch that has a different design than the "Saber" Ride-Watch, this one being magenta in color and having a slot attached to it before pressing the button.
(Digital Beeping) D-D-Decade!
The voice announced and a greyish screen appeared behind Zi-O.
"What's that?" Asta thought, becoming curious
"Farewell, Saber. Keep up with the good work." Zi-O said just as the greyish screen began to move.
"R-right." Asta said, his hand going into the salute position.
This cause Zi-O to chuckle slightly before the greyish screen consumed him and the ash-white hair teen's eyes widened as he saw Zi-O's form changing, but due to the greyish screen, he couldn't properly see it apart from the visor having changed color to a deep red.
The screen then disappeared, leaving Asta be himself.
"What form was that?" Asta thought, becoming curious.
"Asta!" A voice suddenly said, causing the ash-white hair teen to turn around to see Noelle walking towards him.
"Hey, Noelle." Asta said as he raised his arm slightly.
"What are you doing here by yourself?" Noelle asked, stopping in front of Asta.
"I….was speaking to the announcer." Asta responded, making Noelle to become confuse, especially at the pause.
"Why are you interested in speaking with the announcer?" Noelle asked, raising an eye-brow.
"I just want to find out about a few things." Asta responded, making Noelle blink her eyes.
"Like his identity?" The silver hair girl asked, making Asta nod his head.
"Yes, and I found out who he is." Asta responded, making Noelle surprise.
"What's the identity of the announcer? Someone we know?" Noelle asked, making Asta to become quiet as he think of a response.
"I won't tell you now, maybe later." Asta responded, causing Noelle to gain annoyed expression on her face.
"You better tell me and the others later." Noelle said, making the ash-white hair teen nod his head.
"I will." Asta responded, making Noelle nod her head.
"Good. Now come on now, the others are wondering where you went." Noelle explained, making Asta nod his head and the two began to move.
"Oh, Noelle." Asta said, causing the silver hair girl to glance towards him.
"Yes? What is it?" Noelle asked, becoming curious.
"Congratulations on winning." Asta responded with a wide smile on his face.
A slight blush appeared on Noelle's face.
"W-what are you talking about? We ended in a draw." Noelle said, a small frown appearing on her.
Asta chuckled slightly just as the two headed back to the others.
They didn't realize that someone is hiding from behind the two.
"So there are other types of Kamen Riders outside the Sword Of Logos. Interesting." Reika thought with an amused expression on her face.
It's been a few days since the Royal Knight selection exam and like what Julius said, everyone has been sharpening their skills.
It was also discovered that the person who was on Asta's and Mimosa's team wasn't the real "Xerx".
They found the real vice-captain of the Purple Orca, plus his assistant, somewhere close by the colosseum, completely knocked out.
They also discovered the person who was supposed to be announcing the matches was knocked out as well, but inside the colosseum.
Whilst a searched party has been formed in order to find the fake "Xerx", Julius ordered them not to search for the fake Xerx, confusing everyone at first before becoming shock that the Wizard King knew the fake Xerx's father, during his time before becoming the Wizard King.
With the announcer, Asta told everyone that he already spoken to him and said he wasn't an enemy, just as a "fan" of the Kamen Riders, but didn't reveal the actual identity of Zi-O.
Whilst this caused some suspicion, Reika saw the conversation between Asta and Zi-O, without revealing the time-themed Kamen Rider's name as well, causing some relaxion.
It was also during those few days that Asta revealed the identity of the announcer his friends, shocking the Magic Knights of the Sword Of Logos that different types of Kamen Riders exists.
Right now, Asta and Noelle are sparring against each other within Liberation.
As the two took a break, Asta noticed something with Noelle.
"Noelle….are you nervous about something?" The ash-white hair teen asked, causing Noelle to become startled slightly.
"Me? Nervous? What are you talking about?!" Noelle asked, sounding offended.
"Well…..your body language says otherwise." Asta responded before looking away as Noelle glared at him slightly.
After a few seconds, the silver hair girl sighed.
"Has Rin been teaching you that Ki reading ability?" Noelle asked, causing Asta to snort slightly.
"No. I guess that I'm good at reading people's body language." Asta responded, making Noelle gained a confused expression on her face for a few seconds before releasing a breath.
"Okay. I guess that I am nervous about getting picked for the Royal Knights or not." Noelle explained, causing Asta to blink his eyes.
"What are you talking about? Our teams fought in the finals, didn't they? And do you remember what the Wizard King said, you're more favorable in getting picked if you remained in the tournament." Asta pointed out, causing a frown to appear on Noelle's face.
"That's true but isn't guaranteed that you will be placed into the Royal Knights just because of winning. There are other factors to consider as well." Noelle explained, making Asta gain a frown of his own.
"I guess that's true…." The ash-white hair teen muttered in a disgruntled tone of voice.
"At least your brother Solid isn't guaranteed a spot on the Royal Knights, considering how weak he was during your match, noelle." A voice suddenly spoke, causing both Asta and Noelle to freeze before turning their heads as they recognized the voice.
"C-Captain Mereoleone! How long have you been here?" Noelle asked in a surprised tone of voice.
"For a few minutes. I've been watching you two spar before speaking about getting picked for the Royal Knights." Mereleone responded in a casual tone of voice, yet the response caused both Sword Of Logos Magic Knights to sweat slightly.
"So this where you lot do most of your training?" Mereoleone asked as she glanced around the training room.
"Y-yes. The training room is called Liberation and the swords that we practice with are coated in a substance that allows us to place our magic onto them without damaging them." Noelle explained, making Mereoleone nod her head slightly before focusing her attention onto her and Asta.
"What is she planning now?" Asta and Noelle thought at the same time, starting to become worried.
"…..The way that you two interact with each other reminds me of Lady Acier and Richita." Mereoleone commented, causing Noelle to gain a surprised expression on her face whilst Asta gained a confused expression on his face.
"You…..knew my mum...?" Asta asked in a slow tone of voice, making Mereoleone glance towards Noelle.
"You haven't told him?" Mereoleone asked, causing Noelle to become nervous underneath the captain of the Crimson Lion's gaze.
"No...We were too focus on training for the tournament." Noelle responded in a nervous tone of voice, turning her gaze towards the ground.
However, the gears within Asta's head started to turn.
"Wait. Our mums were friends?" Asta asked, looking at Noelle.
"Yes. During the hot-spring training, Captain Mereoleone told me that our mothers have a shared history." Noelle explained, causing Asta to gain a surprise expression on his.
"Wow…...things would have been different is our mums were still alive. We could have known each other a lot longer." Asta commented, causing Noelle to snot slightly.
"I was thinking the same thing back at the hot-spring training." Noelle said, making a small smile appear on Asta's face.
"It won't just be you. I could have met Mimosa, Leopold, Captain Fuegoleon, Mimosa's brother….and your other siblings earlier in life." Asta said, saying the last part in not-so enthusiastic tone of voice.
"With Lady Acier's influence, Noelle's other siblings would probably be more tolerable to be around….probably." Mereoleone said, making Asta nod his head slightly.
"Captain Mereoleone…..why exactly are you here?" Noelle asked, becoming confuse at that moment.
"Right. You two need to come with me this instant." Mereoleone said as she summoned two fire-made lion paws and grabbed the two Sword Of Logos Magic Knights by the heads.
"Eh?" Both Asta and Noelle said at the same time before getting dragged away by Mereoleone.
"Hmm. Where is the other person." The captain of the Crimson Lions muttered as she walked down the corridor.
"What is Captain Mereoleone going to do with us?!" Both Asta and Noelle exclaimed in their heads, starting to become scared.
"Captain Mereoleone? When did you got here?" A voice asked, causing Mereoleone to stop and turn around to see Sophia appearing from a branching off corridor.
"Wait. Did Captain Mereoleone entered our headquarters without announcing herself?!" Both Asta and Noelle exclaimed in their heads before realizing that this is something that this is something that the captain of the Crimson Lions would do.
"I'm here to collect a few people." Mereoleone responded, causing Sophia to blink her eyes confusedly for a few seconds before suddenly widening her eyes.
"What's going here?" A voice asked just as the other members of the Sword Of Logos appeared. "Good. The other two are here." Mereoleone said as she summoned two more fire-made lion paws and grab Rin and Tetsuo.
"Huh?/Eh?" Both wielder of Hayate and wielder of Suzume said at the same time as they join alongside Asta and Noelle.
"Why are you kidnapping them, Captain Mereoleone?" Ryo asked as he gave the captain of the Crimson Lions a confused look.
"These four have been chosen to be apart of the Royal Knights." Mereoleone responded in a simple tone of voice.
The response caused the rest to become shock.
"Congratulations you four!" Fiona said with a wide smile on her face.
"Hm. It not like everyone's a winner." Rintaro commented, glancing towards Donna.
"….." The wielder of Ikazuchi didn't say anything as a frown appeared on her face.
"When are we leaving?" Tetsuo asked, hoping he could do some last minute checks with the Holy Swords.
"We're leaving for the Royal Capital immediately." Mereoleone responded before starting to walk towards the entrance.
"Just remember to open the doors wide enough to let everyone out safely!" Sophia called, although starting to gain the feeling that the captain of the Crimson Lions didn't heard her.
"I'll open the doors." Fiona said, not asking any questions as she began to catch up with Mereoleone.
"Everyone's here! I, Mereoleone Vermillion, has been appointed captain of the Royal Knights! If you are here, that means you have been selected as members of the Royal Knights from this point onwards, until the times comes that the Eye Of The Midnight Sun is wiped out, you will trust your lives with me!" Mereoleone explained to the gathered to the newly formed Royal Knights.
"….Hrm? It looks like we're still short of one person...are they making light of me?" Mereoleone questioned as she scan the faces of the Royal Knights.
"Someone's missing?" Everyone thought, becoming surprise since there are a lot of people gathered in the room already.
"Sooooorrrrrry. I ran a little late." A voice suddenly said as someone jumped down from a ledge above the captain of the Royal Knights.
Mereoleone instantly activate her magic, sending a blast of fire towards the unknown person who activated their own magic to protect themselves.
"It looks like...they were." Mereoleone commented with a dangerous smile on her face just as the person landed on the ground.
"Hey! It's the fake Xerx!" Asta exclaimed as he and everyone got into a battle stance.
"The name's Zora Ideale of the Black Bulls." The now known Zora introduce himself as he stood up, revealing that he's wearing the robes of the Black Bull squad.
"Eh?! Since when!?" Luck exclaimed in a shock tone of voice.
"Just recently." Zora responded simply.
"Now that everyone is finally gathered, put on your Royal Knight robes which are highly resistant to magic Knights. Jump to it!" Mereoleone said, causing everyone to start moving and after a few minutes, everyone is wearing robes that are consists of long maroon coloured cloth with a white neck-piece.
However everyone noticed something.
"Why is ours shorter than everyone else?" Asta as he raised an arm, him and the other three Sword Of Logos Royal Knight are wearing robes which are much shorter than the others.
"I think it's a bit obvious. Why would waste material on us when we wear armor." Tetsuo pointed out, causing Asta to nod his head slightly.
"Stop speaking!" Mereoleone shouted, causing both Asta and Tetsuo to jump.
"Now then, despite you lot being chosen through the tournament, there will be others joining us." Mereoleone said, making three other people enter the room.
"Siren Tium and Cob Portaporta. Due the usefulness of their magic, these two will be included. Nozel Silva will be joining us as well." Mereoleone said just as the three named people fully entered the room, also wearing Royal Knight robes.
"What inspired this, Nozel?" Mereoleone asked, glancing towards the captain of the Silver Eagles with a small smirk on her face.
"I don't feel like telling you….it's just something that the king asked of me…." Nozel responded, not looking at the captain of the Royal Knights.
"The captain of the Silver Eagles!? We're ready for anything for now." Ruben said in a confident tone of voice.
"Brother Nozel…." Noelle thought, becoming slightly nervous.
"Splendid, Splendid. Now we are all ready to finish the Eye Of Midnight Sun once and for all!" A voice suddenly said, making everyone turn their heads towards the direction of the voice to see the Royal King entering the room.
"Hello, your Majesty, King Augustus Kira Clover XII." Mereoleone greeted in a fierce tone of voice, causing everyone to become surprise.
"….I can't remember the last time anyone using my full name." Augustus thought whilst having a shock expression on his face.
The Royal King then regained his posture and cough into his fist.
"I hope that none of you will disgrace name of the Royal Kn/ Throughout the few months, the Eye Of The Midnight Sun have launched numerous attacks on the Clover Kingdom. The first time that they attacked, many of you fought together to fend them off, yet it cost my brother his arm. From the prisoners that we have caught, their goal is to collect objects known as Magic Stones, but their end-goal is still unknown. But thanks to the efforts of some of you, the Magic Stones are within our possession, along with taking out two of their strongest members, Vetto and Fana. The only one remaining is Rhya who possess copy magic. Regardless of these achievements, as long as they exist, the Clover Kingdom won't know peace. I think you know this already, but we will not except anything less than victory! Anyone who don't measure up, will be taken out me before I send you to the enemy stronghold! The Eye Of The Midnight Sun's base, is inside the powerful strong Magic Region, Gravito Rock Belt's floating Dungeon!" Mereoleone explained, interrupting Augustus.
"Why…..? she used my full name earlier…..?" Augustus thought, regaining his shock expression.
"You Majesty, Augustus Kira Clover XII!" Mereoleone shouted, causing Augustus to jump.
"Why is she yelling at the king?" Everyone thought whilst sweat-dropping.
"Please continue what you were saying earlier." Mereoleone said, her voice becoming more calm.
"You're ordering me to continue the conversation when you already said everything?! There's absolutely nothing I can say." Augustus thought in an annoyed tone of voice before coughing into his closed hand.
"Well, do good work out there. That is all." Augustus said with a slight smile on his face.
"Really? That's it?" Everyone thought, sweat-dropping again.
And there we go, the formation of the Royal Knights and with the presence of Tetsuo being amounts their ranks, the numbers have increased. This chapter also have Mereoleone revealing to Asta about how Richita and Acier knew each other. So did everyone enjoyed the cameo appearance of Zi-O, along with the "Saber" Ride-Watch and the "Decade" Ride-Watch, and I can guess that everyone has a good idea on what form Zi-O briefly transformed into before disappearing. So I decided to write all the members of the Sword of Logos have shorter Royal Knight robes due to their armor.
In Black Clover, we finally got to meet three new members of the Ryuzen, yet still no knowledge on what they actually are, with their names being Hanegatsuji Jouzou, Ookkadia Zeamon and Imari Komari. After easily getting beaten by the three newly introduced Ryzen, Asta noted how none of them didn't use their Yojutsu and they use Zetten in different ways. Ichika appeared and informed Asta that Ryudon asked her to look after him, explaining to him that Ryudon is busy with stabilizing the administration of Hino. Ichika revealed that Ryudo uses his ability of clairvoyance/Tenguntsu to observe the actives of the nation and when Asta commented how it's too incredible, Ichika went on a rant about how incredible Ryudo is. After calming down, Ichika also informed Asta that he was the one who saved her, showing a different expression on her face. The topic then turned to Sukehiro, but Ichika absolutely doesn't want to speak about him before revealing that he annihilated his and Ichika's clan.
It would seem that there's a different story to how Sukehiro ended up in the Clover Kingdom with how Ichika saying how he could be sprouting nonsense. Sukehiro could have in fact been banished from Hino with what Ichika said at the end of the chapter. I just thought of something, I wonder if the Ryuzen are able to sense the presence of two souls within a person with their advance usage of Ki. I know that Sukehiro couldn't sense the presence of Patry within William, but it could be because his usage of Ki is much lower than that of the seven Ryuzen, plus Ryudon. Speaking about his Tenguntsue, it must have a big range if he was able to observe Asta, although this bring up the question as to how long Ryudon has been observing Asta?
With Geats, the final mission of the current DGP starts suddenly which involves the four remaining Kamen Riders attempting to kick a can that the final boss, known as Saboten Knight, uses to increase its power and size, which is fueled by absorbing the essence of humans. After a failed attempt of even touching the can, the participants recover in the Desire Hall where Ace reveal that Saboten Knight appeared within a previous DGP where it managed to eliminate all the Kamen Riders who took part in the final mission of that DGP. When Keiwa commented on how well informed Ace is about the history of DGP, he responded that he been a participant ever since the first year of the Anno Domini era, annoying Keiwa. After a final night of resting, which involves Keiwa and his sister having dinner with Ace and Neon, plus Ace and Keiwa having a conversation afterwards, the Kamen Riders have a rematch with Saboten Knight which involves Tycoon finally using the "Boost" Raise Buckle, that he gained during the first section of the final mission, and attempting to get close to the Jamato boss without being seen. However, he was spotted and would have been eliminated but was rescued by Geats...who only did it to complete a secret side mission which gifted Geats with the "Ninja" Raise Buckle who then used it to have a much easier time fighting the enlarged Saboten Knight. Despite this, he couldn't destroy the can which Saboten Knight caught before disappearing. Afterwards, which involves Tsumuri explaining to the Riders that they need to kick the can out of the mission area in order to complete the mission, Michinaga demanded as to how Ace knew that the "Ninja" Raise Buckle exists to which Ace simply responded that he knows the game better than the other three. Keiwa announced to Ace that he has no more trust in him.
The rule for this episode is that when all the Kamen Riders are eliminated, it is game over and the area will vanish. So this episode revealed that the person Ace is searching for is his mother who's final words were for him to not remember her in order him to be happier. It is likely that it is Ace's mother who gave him the roman coin. So it would seem that Ace possess longevity, having been alive for 2000 years, something that is unexpecting.
Please review and until next time.
Dragon Rider 66:
1) The main reason is that I couldn't decide on which team to win, which would indirectly mean that either Asta or Yuno is the winner. I could have simply flipped a coin to decide the victor, but a draw seems to be a better outcome.
2) I guess that makes sense with how we're still focusing on Ichika who is about to talk about her past between her brother. but luckily, we'd managed to see the identity of three of the remaining six Ryuzen.
3) It would seem that Michinaga is slowly starting to open up to Keiwa, despite still seeing him and the other participants as enemies. That is a neat detail that the Booststriker has, the head piece changing to suit the Rider that is using it. With the victor of the current GDP, it does seem likely that Ace will be the victor which would help him in finding his mother. I'm kind of starting to find the DGP suspicious at how there are multiple tournaments, thus multiple Desire Gods are born, rather than a single tournament which spans the entire series of Kamen Rider Geats.
4) That would be interesting, Asta gaining a spell that is mixed with all the Mana from the four great spirits.
5) That will be interesting, the possible "Mechanical Arm" Raise Buckle would be a likely secondary personal Raise Buckle for Tycoon to use with the presence of the red gears and with Buffa gaining the possible "Monster" Raise Buckle...I don't want to think of what that Raise Buckle can do.
6) Yuri learning how to add Ki into his fighting style, that would be interesting to see.
7) I wonder if the upcoming new Riders will be the ones that have already been mentioned, the ones have been eliminated from the first and second DGP, or ones that have completely new names, or even use a different Driver than the Desire Driver.
8)
A) Mereoleone will have an amused expression on her face when she guessed what the girls are thinking about, but Asta will have a confused expression on his face.
B) Hikura will likely be sending a killing aura towards Asta whenever he's near Noelle, but this just cause Asta to become confused.
C) I think Yami will use a Driver which would be closer to the Juuga-style Driver, or at least a proto-type which George would give to Yami in order for him to gather information which he would then used to create the finalized version of the Juuga Driver.
