Summary
Yu Tendo explains what has been happening within the Dark Nebula Organization, showing his broken Libra as proof from his battle with Reiji Mizuchi. Gingka Hagane Benkei Hanawa and Madoka Amano are furious, but not as much as Kenta Yumiya who, after swapping Performance Tips with Yu, storms off to find and battle Reiji, who is his opponent in the next round. When the gang leave Yu Tsubasa Otori notes he never thought of Yu as evil while Kyoya Tategami says he wynns a lot while mocking him.

In the end, Reiji defeats Kenta, destroying his Beyblade and his spirit, much to the horror of everyone else. Luckily, Gingka steps in before Reiji takes it too far and Daidouji declares them as opponents in the semi-finals.
