Memories of Champions

Full Recap
Corona takes Hunter to the Hill of Champions; the place where spiders and humans first fought together against the Invectid invaders. They meet Galena, a woman whose Spider Rider husband left for war many years ago. She cares for the monument while awaiting his return.

When Buguese arrives to claim the hill, Galena shocks the Spider Riders by giving it up without a fight. Despite Galena, Hunter and Corona defeat Buguese only to find themselves thrown back by his human ally, a young girl in a mask. Through Galena's courageous example, the Spider Riders learn the things that are truly worth protecting lie not in stone monuments, but rather within our hearts and spirit.

Trivia

 * King Arachna I was the first offical Spider Rider.
 * Galena was married to a Spider Rider, the man's name is never mentioned. It is most likely that the man had died and his manacle was given to one of the current Spider Riders.
 * Venus mentions that she fought alongside King Arachna I and his spider. This may give and indication of just how old spiders can get. Since Arachna lived well of one hundred years before the series began. Spiders could live to be well be over a hundred years old.
 * It is shown that the Oracle is harmed in this episode.
