Synopsis
Note: I will rewrite this summary. It's my work from Anime Vice, and this will act as a placeholder.

When Dunya has her rock dragon attack, Aladdin blocks it with his borg, and he urges Hakuryuu to take Tiare and Morgiana to safety. Alibaba feels his wound aching. On the way to the top, Hakuryuu reassures Tiare that Alibaba and Aladdin won't be defeated. Dunya introduces herself and her knight to her enemies. Alibaba remarks that Magnostadt wiped out Dunya's kingdom ten years ago. When Dunya asks Alibaba why he is still alive since his country is gone, Alibaba replies that Balbadd is still alive as a republic. Dunya reminds him that it's under the Kou Empire, and she tells him that she will kill him using her Dark Metal Vessel. She stabs her chest, and the black Rukh surrounds her. Dunya transforms into a black Djinn. Alibaba freaks out when this scene reminds him of how Kassim transformed into a black Djinn. As Dunya controls the sand, she blasts Alibaba, but Aladdin blocks the attack with his Borg. While Aladdin fights with Dunya, Alibaba engages Isaac in battle. Elsewhere in the dungeon, Hakuryuu arrive to the gate with the girls. Meanwhile, Judal tells Sinbad not to get killed before the real fight with Kou Empire's six Dungeon Conquerors. After he introduces them, he announces that they will destroy Sindria. Then, Kougyoku arrives to asks Judal a question, and Judal tells her to come home. Kougyoku looks at Sinbad with a questionable look on her face. When Judal leaves, Sinbad holds an emergency war meeting with his generals.

In the war meeting, Yamraiha explains that it will take all the mages to restore the barrier in ten days. Sinbad states that they will hold off on restoring the barrier and take on enemy with everyone including the mages. While everyone mobilizes for war, Kougyoku visits Sinbad to apologize to him for Judal's actions. When she quivers, Sinbad tells her that Kou and Sindria would go to war. He urges Kougyoku to leave Sindria because Al Sarmen's agents will hurt her despite her status. Kougyoku begs Sinbad to let her fight with him. Elsewhere, massive Al Sarmen is approaching Sindria. In Zagan's dungeon, Alibaba and Aladdin have difficulty in their fight. Alibaba compresses his Magoi, and he changes his sword into a dagger like form. He manages to cut Isaac into pieces. Nearby, Aladdin bombards Dunya with an onslaught of blasts using the Rukh. Isnan intervenes with his lightning attack. He awakens Dunya's metal vessel, and Dunya remembers her painful past.

In her full body Djinn Equip, Dunya transforms the sand into a deadly chain sickle. Alibaba saves Aladdin from Dunya's attack. Dunya wakes up Isaac. Isaac uses his special armor's ability to outmaneuver Alibaba in sheer speed. Hakuryuu arrives to assist Alibaba. Isnan reveals that their forces has breach Sindria's barrier. He tells Alibaba that his destiny will bring people strife and sadness. Isnan asks Dunya to leave Hakuryuu alive. Though, Dunya remarks it's impossible for them survive, and she uses her Extreme Magic to create a large magical seal. Over at Sindria, Sinbad rallies his men before they take on the enemy.

Manga & Anime Differences

 * The fight between Aladdin & Alibaba and Dunya & Isaac is shortened considerably in the anime version.
 * In the anime, the scar grows on Alibaba's body during the fight. As previously mentioned in earlier episodes, Alibaba only gets the scar after clearing Zagan's Dungeon in the manga.
 * Only in the anime, Al-Thamen's men and a monsterous entity are heading towards Sindria. Compared to the manga, it's only three men from Al-Thamen who attack Alibaba's group outside of Zagan's Dungeon.
