Ep. 39: Aichi defeats Leon and chooses to keep using Gold Paladins after the VF Circuit finale.

39

Aichi and Leon engage in a climactic battle where Leon utilizes the Ultimate Break of Glory Maelstrom to block grade 1 or higher guards. Aichi counters by guarding with two grade 0 units, but Leon’s heal trigger drive check initially overpowers him. Aichi survives via his own heal trigger before Crossriding Platina Ezel to defeat the weakened Leon, who loses Void’s power. Takuto opens a path to Cray, declaring the Gold Paladin clan as rightful leaders. With Leon’s help, they dispel Void’s darkness, freeing the sealed Royal Paladin, Shadow Paladin, and Kagero clans. Aichi faints and sees Blaster Blade, who telepathically confirms he can now use Royal Paladins again, though Aichi prefers his Gold Paladins. The group returns to Earth, where Team Q4 wins the VF Circuit. Aichi resumes daily life, continuing to use Gold Paladins, including a Gold Paladin version of Blaster Blade.
