Symphogear Season 3 Episode 9

The Middle of a Dream

Learning that the Autoscorers may be targeting two locations at once, Chris, Shirabe, and Kirika go to the Undersea Dragon's Palace, where many relics are sealed, while Tsubasa goes with Maria to her family's mansion, where she is met with disdain from her father, Yatsuhiro. Tsubasa soon comes up against Phara, who overwhelms her with her ability to destroy anything defined as a sword before destroying her family's keystone. Afterwards, Tsubasa explains how the decisions of her grandfather, revealed to be her biological father, left her in a poor relationship with Yatsuhiro. When Phara attacks again later that night, she receives encouragement from Yatsuhiro to focus on her own dreams, showing that he had always cared for his daughter, allowing her to overcome her own definition as a sword and defeat Phara. Meanwhile, Chris' team confront Carol and Leiur to stop them stealing a relic, only to suddenly come up against Dr. Ver.
