Recap

From the wiki page Dylan Lucas Mostynn:

Before Round 3, Dylan had been so busy that he missed his match announcement, meanwhile Tripp’s mental slowly deteriorated as he goes cold turkey. The combination of misfortunes that happened to him like the near overdose, his unfortunate event in Round 2, and his eventual supposed death match for Round 3 had broken his mind and made him lose hope.

Tripp’s part starts with Tripp’s flashback with his best friend PJ, with PJ telling him to make new friends. Tripp remembers this in the present as he watches Wietse get imprisoned to Nuremberg with contempt. Hime notices his change in demeanor and requests Kome to cheer him up. Kome tries to lift his spirits but was met with resistance as Tripp slowly remembers his Round 2 and promptly vomits in disgust.

The time for Round 3 came, Tripp shudders as he realizes that he is facing a godlike being. Dylan, who has no intention in harming Tripp, tries to reason with Tripp, but Tripp attacks him with a gun which Dylan easily dodges and shoots the gun off Tripp’s hand. Tripp then attacks with his knife, managing to stab Dylan in his arm but Dylan shrugs it off, cauterizing it with healing fire before Dylan throwing the knife and Tripp away. Knowing there’s no other way out, Tripp jumps to the gun to try committing suicide but Dylan shoots and destroys his gun.

In sheer desperation, Tripp used his secret weapon, a bomb of veil and a blunt made of Sack’s skin and Kome’s veil. He throws it at Dylan, hoping he would overdose. Unfortunately, Dylan is an ancient and has extremely high tolerance for drugs, the veil did nothing on him. Tripp on the other hand starts going insane because of veil overdose. Having hallucinations of his abusive father, the friends that abandoned him, and eventually Tredecima decapitating all of his friends in front of him. Tripp starts giving in to despair when he is suddenly transported in a field of poppies, seeing Dylan praying over the monument of the lost heroes. Tripp started experiencing Dylan’s life as he learns of his background, learning that they have a lot in common: having and losing friends and being alone. Suddenly, PJ appears behind him, giving Tripp a tight comforting hug. Tripp sees Dylan hugging his master while PJ reassures him that like Dylan to his master and to his friends, he won’t ever leave him. Tripp wakes up from this trance. It is revealed that him snapping off was the work of Dylan’s Memento of Wisdom, saving him from the veil’s deadly effects.

Continuing the match, Dylan chastises Tripp for giving up easily, the wisdom showed Dylan that deep inside, Tripp’s source of hope was his friends. He then strips off his weapons, clothes, and even the other Mementos, challenging Tripp to a fair fist fight. Tripp, having his hope reignited, started throwing punches. Dylan easily overpowers Tripp, but each time he falls, Tripp kept standing up. His resolve to keep fighting the impossible resonated with the Memento of Hope. As the Memento appears by his side, Tripp delivers a storming punch so hard that it created a powerful gust stretching outside the Bucket. Dylan gets knocked down but gets up, realizing what happened. All of the spectators and commentators stare in awe as Tripp had finally transformed as an ascended: Tripp, Chosen by Hope. Tripp realizing his power, leaps to Dylan to try to ring out him, Dylan strangely did not fight back, choosing to open himself up so Tripp can knock him out the ring. As Tripp tackles Dylan midair, Dylan suddenly hugs him, noting how he had undergone so many unfortunate events, yet he still kept fighting. Dylan then says that he is proud of him, touching Tripp deeply as he cries. Tripp manages to ring out Dylan, earning him the win.

As Dylan accepts his defeat and exits, Tripp goes to him, questioning if he gave the win away. Dylan assures him that he deserves it and he’d rather give the win to someone whose team has a chance of winning. Dylan requests Tripp that he uses his powers to protect his friends, now that he has the absolute power of the gods and holy wind. Tripp reassures him with an enthusiastic thumbs up and a very bright smile.
