Episode Title:
Blader's Spirit.
Episode Description:
Ryuga is first completely agonized and tries to fight L-Drago from conquering him, fading in and out and trying to talk. In the end he gets more pained and agonized as he collapses forward with a big explosion, jolting back with each of the dragons entering and re-entering him, then lunging forwards again after each one, screaming in agony, as Gingka and his friends watch in muted horror. Ryo then appears and explains to Gingka's friends that since L-Drago didn't belong to any one person in the first place, it consumed and destroyed that person since its power was too much for that one person alone, as is visible when Ryuga violently struggles with headache caused by L-Drago. L-Drago then manipulates Ryuga's mind once more, bringing him to L-Drago's senses, syncing him with his bey, and then rampages, laughing out purple dark energy, sending Gingka flying for its sheer amusement. Despite Gingka's initial efforts to fight the situation, Hyoma tells him that the one standing there isn't Ryuga any longer, which 'L-Drago' delights in, trying to absorb Gingka as sustainance. However, when L-Drago tries to destroy Gingka himself, Gingka is protected by the spirits of Kyoya, Hikaru, and Tsubasa, forming a wall. They tell him to use his Blader's Spirit and protect theirs. Finally he realizes he can win with his greatest special move - Galaxy Nova, as well as his friends' and his own Blader's Spirit. This fractures L-Drago, and is so powerful that both Bladers lose their balance and fall to the ground from 500 feet up. Gingka is rescued by his bey Pegasus, and they rescue Ryuga, back to his normal self, as the Dark Power drained out of him during freefall. But, Pegasus disappears soon after landing, having over-exerted itself in the battle. Ryo reassures him that Pegasus will return again, and will spread its wings once more.
