Episode 39: Triumphant Warriors

Ryo is informed of Anubis' death and Kayura's transformations by Mia and Yuli, and rushes off for Talpa's castle. Kayura battles Talpa, and she is joined by the three Dark Warlords. The Ronin Warriors make their way toward the castle, seeing reflections of Earth in the Nether Realm, and vice-versa. Talpa, confronted by the nine wearers of the Ronin armors, summons the spirits of humans to create a bridge between the two worlds. He breathes fire at Kento, who dodges, allowing Ryo to absorb it. Ryo, now stronger, drives Talpa from the castle roof to the moat below. Kayura tells them that Talpa must be destroyed in the human world for the barrier to be restored. Talpa ventures into our world, followed by the Ronin Warriors. In the ensuing battle, Badamon is destroyed. Ryo calls upon the Inferno armor, and is seemingly defeated by Talpa. When Talpa attempts to absorb the Inferno armor, Ryo allows him to take it. However, the goodness taints Talpa, and paralyzes him. As Ryo's voice tells them to hurry and strike while he could still hold Talpa, the four Ronin Warriors tearfully strike out at Talpa, their armor turning to energy to fuel their attacks. The Jewel of Life glows, slicing Talpa apart with a beam of light. Talpa crumbles and dissolves into smoke. Talpa's castle in the sky vanishes. Ryo appears, and the Ronin Warriors are delighted to find him still alive. Kayura, dressed in her kimono again and carrying the Ancient's staff, appears with the three Dark Warlords, telling the Ronin Warriors that she and the Warlords must remain in the Nether Realm to undo the damage Talpa has caused, and to make sure that Talpa never returns. The Ronin Warriors celebrate by playing baseball with the Jewel of Life taking the form of a sphere of light.
