San Galgano fails miserably after losing his host in High Card season 2
As seen in High Card Season 2, After arriving at the coronation, San Galgano, aka the Black Knight, rampaged through the kingdom’s military and destroyed heavy artillery like they were nothing. Eventually, Wendy arrived at the scene, but she soon realized the power difference positioned her on the losing side. For the first time in the series, Wendy sought help from Love-P.
The menacing A of Spades spirit gave San Galgano a tough time, and it became a truly enthralling battle. However, the San Galgano remained unyielding, even when he was attacked with a barrage of missiles. Finally, Finn arrived with Chris and tried his best to make his voice reach out to Flann who was trapped inside the thick armor of San Galgano.
Unfortunately, the San Galgano’s grasp on his host was too strong, so Finn’s deliberate attempts proved to be powerless. Somehow, the former made it to the secret labyrinth where the King of Fourlands was making preparations to activate the Jokjer card that would separate the X-Playing cards from their players.
Finn and Chris needed help in stopping San Galgano. They decided to go with Plan B, where Chris willingly got eaten by the entity, only to retrieve the source, the King of Spades, from within. This move stripped San Galgano’s spirit off Flann, but still, they weren't separated completely.
While San Galgano was once again taking over Flann, Finn had no choice but to kill his older brother. Finn was devastated after making one of the most difficult yet heartbreaking decisions of his life, which ultimately defeated any chance of reuniting with his only family. Finn’s choice also defeated San Galgano’s golden opportunity to slay the Joker.
