Pretty awesome battle, but I hope to find out in the next episode about Emeraude and Zagato.

I heard that this episode and the last episode were aired in a row at a time. Probably it comes that the last half of this episode tells a bit of the hidden truth. So you should think of these two episodes as one. There is no comical mood in these two episodes at all. Magic Knights confront Zagato and magnificent battle begins with splendid music. You should hear the cry from the bottom of his heart and his contented expression would be engraved on your memory.

Very good episode. I'm hoping the next episode reveals a little bit more of the truth, too.

Hmm maybe Emeraude and Zagato are lovers??? Seems that way

Pretty cool mecha battle. From the OP sequence I guessed that Zagato had a Rune-God as well but I wonder how he made it in the first place, or where he even got it. Hopefully this last episode comes up with some answers!

Good guys defeat the bad guy by screaming MAKENAI!!!!!!!

I SHOULD'VE KNOWN. THE PRINCESS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TURN INTO SOME EVIL CREATURE, ZAGATO, YOU IDIOT. I had a strong feeling that the princess and he were in love, but this cements it.

Yep. I'm 99% that Zagato whispered to the Emeraude that he loved her.

Based on Zagato's words in this episode, Clef's statement about the "true enemy", and the preview I'm going to guess that this was probably all a massive plan to free Emeraude. It was shown before that she didn't have to pray incessently until some point when Ferio was still a young boy.

I wonder what caused this state and where the true problem lies.

Looking forward to the second half of the finale.

And of course, Zagato also has his own cool robot.
And damn that was an awesome fight.
Zagato dies and unfortunately Emeraude goes apesh*t! looks like she's the real final boss.

Well, that happened. lol I was expecting a more epic death for Zagato, but the girls combining their mecha powers will have to do I suppose.

Looking forward to the last episode of this season! I hope it sheds light on Zagato and Princess Emeraude's relationship

Fuu doesn't need glasses anymore because her heart willed it, god dammit. I wanna not need glasses anymore because my heart wills it.

Zagato's motivation seems to be a bit weak. I mean, it was for someone he loved, but still. I didn't get the impression that Emeraude was suffering or being mistreated. What exactly was he trying to free her from? She seemed to be fine.

Otherwise, the battle was a bit anti-climatic too. Just one big blast countered with another. I kind of wish they started battling outside of the robots and then jumped into them to finish.

Zagato's VA in the english dub isn't very good at being angry, imo. Otherwise, banger episode.

Zagato was doing was he was doing.......because he wanted the Princess to have more freedom? Interesting.

Now that Zagato is defeated, the Princess is spiralling into severe sadness! Are the Magic Knights too late?
