In ‘Golden Secret,’ Tamaki, Hinawa, and others struggle against Gold, whose magnetism-based power neutralizes their metal weapons. Licht deduces her technique involves heating gold to generate a magnetic field. The team then removes their metallic belts.

They execute a counterstrategy: Lisa distracts Gold, Tamaki melts iron to render Gold’s gauntlet ineffective, and Hinawa delivers a shot to her head. Arthur then arrives and defeats Stream instantly. Meanwhile, Shinra confronts Burns, who defends the Evangelist. The episode ends with an Infernal Insect being implanted into Akitaru Obi.

Meanwhile, Company 8 will hurry toward Obi, but get intercepted by Dragon the Destroyer, introducing a powerful new threat. The upcoming episode will likely reveal whether Obi can resist the transformation and how Company 8 will confront Dragon, a major challenge unlike any they have faced before.
