Summary
Ginga and his friends try to focus after the two previous beybattles. Obviously they still thrive to beat Ryuuga for good, however they always remember to blade with their heart. The next matches are going to be: Kenta VS Benkei; Mizuchi VS Ginga; Ryuutarou VS Tsubasa; Ryuuga VS Kyouya. They are all quite optimistic, yet realistic too. Meanwhile, Yuu tries to talk to Daidouji about his loss, Dark Nebula's evil ambitions, etc. He remembers how he finally got accepted by Ginga and the others, and he might like to get to know them better... Daidouji does not want to hear about that though, and Mizuchi, carrying Yuu, and him move to watch Ryuuga's practice battles. Mizuchi throws Yuu to the floor of the watching platform. Ryuuga totally destroys the three Kumade Brothers, after having thrown Reiji and Dan into walls. Next, even though Tetsuya attempts to stop Tobio from fighting Ryuuga because he knows what their fate will be, he gets no choice and joins the battle with Tobio. Both of them get knocked out. The Beyblades that lose to Lightning L Drago seem to fade in colour. Ryuutarou, like Yuu, also questions the necessity of such battles. Daidouji knows they lost their matches anyway. Yuu wants the fights to stop, but that only provokes Daidouji into sending Mizuchi against him. Mizuchi who supposedly embraces all of Dark Nebula's evil values. The battle begins and Yuu immediately uses his sonic attack to transform the stadium floor into hard rocks, but Poison Serpent has no problem sliding on them anyway. During the whole fight, all of Yuu's special attacks are useless and some even get shattered before they truly form, not affecting Poison Serpent at all. Mizuchi simply plays around with Yuu. At some point, the latter realises that his attacks do not work because his Flame Libra has kept losing bits and pieces of it from all the hits it took. Yuu starts crying at the atrocity of this, of knowing that his bey is getting thoroughly destroyed and that he cannot do anything to stop the match. As Mizuchi opens his real eyes, it is a sign of ending. Yuu, who had fallen to his hands and knees, crying, notices that somebody else is watching: Ryuuga. Seeing him, he extends his left hand in the direction of the dragon beyblader in hopes of getting his help in this struggle, but Ryuuga instantly turns his back to him and walks out, not interested in watching the scene anymore. Yuu realises that everybody who is working with him, who is supposed to be some sort of friend, has truly abandoned him. He is all alone, and he has always been. Just before Mizuchi's final attack reaches his Beyblade, Yuu decides to stand back up and give it his all in one last strike. A blinding light is emitted from the impact, and the result is left in suspense. At another location, Kyouya warns Tsubasa about his next battle: he tells him to really fight with his heart, and that should help him win.
