Episode Title:
Open Gate: The Way to the Queen.Episode Description:
Cattleya and Ymir head to Gainos to help out those being attacked by the Army of the Dead. Melona, Menace, Airi and the Army of the Dead continue the onslaught against Leina, Risty, Elina, Claudette and Tomoe. Leina is separated from the rest of the girls and must fight Melona, Airi, and Menace alone. Leina is about to be defeated when Nowa and Alleyne show up and save her. Melpha appears and destroys all the Army of the Dead in one fell swoop using the "Holy Pose: Banishment" once the Queen's Blade battle is announced. Melona shapeshifts into various other characters to try and confuse and outwit Leina. Tomoe comes to aid Leina against Melona, dispatching her and continuing the fight against Menace. Melona transforms into Leina to precipitate an ironic end to Leina, however Leina overcomes Melona with her Dragon Tail. In desperation, Melona summons a massive Demon Serpent from Hell, which Tomoe attempts to attack but is paralyzed. Claudette attempts to use a lightning attack, also to no avail. Nanael flies Leina up to the Serpent's face, and Leina stabs the Serpent in the eye, defeating her. Aldra appears and petrifies the Serpent, which then crumbles into the water. Nanael informs them all she is returning to Heaven, and Tomoe apologizes to Leina for underestimating her. Aldra announces they can all enter Gainos, allowing the tournament for the Queen's Blade to begin.
