Subaru escaped Olbart’s game only to be stranded on Ginunhive, while the Sky Curtain showed his suffering to Emilia’s group as they searched for him and Rem. The arc left Subaru’s companions confronting the danger of his Witch Factors as Ubilk began explaining Flugel’s ancient plan.

• Subaru fled Vincent’s death sentence with Louis, met Ubilk, and watched the sky reveal the Sage’s Tower as a vast screen displayed his party’s deaths and horrified Emilia’s camp.
• Subaru died repeatedly in Olbart’s game, then won by exploiting Olbart’s broken rules, while Satella broke through the seal, destroyed the Witch of Envy’s shadow, and carried Subaru away.
• Subaru woke on Ginunhive, learned that Satella had repaired his Gate, and entered Sparka under the false name Natsuki Schwarz, where he killed a Shadow Lion and earned the sword slaves’ respect.
• Flying dragons attacked Guaral, where Priscilla and Emilia fought Madelyn Eschart until a dragon’s attack devastated the city, Flop saved Rem from Madelyn, and Rem and Flop disappeared afterward.
• Emilia’s group learned that Subaru was missing and that Rem had been abducted, then recognized the little girl beside Medium as Louis Arneb and chose to trust her while postponing judgment.
• The Sky Curtain showed Subaru’s changed return point, his escape from a sound-tracking demon beast with Ram and Anastasia, and his encounter with a mysterious woman who said she had found him.
• The Sky Curtain showed Subaru telling a veiled figure he loved her, and Ubilk began explaining the Pleiades Star Cluster and his ancestors’ plan with Flugel.
