Megistus holds a recruitment drive for Agastia combatants. Yuto and Reo infiltrate the event in their Magical Girl forms under the orders of their sponsor's executive. Yuto is scared at how well Reo answers the interview questions, but Megistus refuses to hire them as they are underage, and then reveals he knew they were here as infiltrators the whole time. The Magical Girls then attack Megistus, but he uses his ice powers to dodge their attacks before disappearing. When Yuto and Reo leave, Megistus resumes his recruitment drive. Elsewhere, Kuroitsu and Wolf Bete unleash their latest monster, Bandersnatch, on Blader. Bandersnatch transforms into a giant wolf-like monster after its first form is defeated. The monster is able to dodge Blader's attacks and almost defeats him, until Blader suddenly unleashes his own second form, a blue suit with a sharper sword. Kuroitsu feels distraught at not anticipating Blader would have a new form, but Megistus shows up to raise her spirits. Sadamaki mentions a worst-case scenario where Blader might be able to summon a giant robot in the future. Wolf Bete is excited at the prospect of developing a giant monster to fight it, but Kuroitsu reveals that the costs would be just as astronomical. Later, Kenji contemplates the voice in his suit telling him about the second form of Blader, when his brother, Doctor Sadamaki, returns home. (Source: Wikipedia)
