Episode Description
Bladers come from far and wide to uncover the mysteries deep within Zonamos House’s biggest attraction, Riddles and Beys. Team Persona has just one puzzle left to solve before they pass the trial and win fame and fortune! There’s more to the final battle than meets the eye, but do Robin, Multi, and Jaxon have what it takes to see the unseeable?
Plot
Major Events
- Zonamos' Cowl Sphinx makes its debut.
- For the Zonamos' Chamber challenge, each member of Persona takes on Zonamos and his Cowl Sphinx and must light the fourth torches surrounding the arena.
- Multi takes note of Jaxon, Robin, and her own battles and the 4X spinning box hologram and discovers the riddle to the final challenge:
- The spinning box represents the 4 Finishes in a Beyblade battle. (In the original release of the episode, Multi uses "SPIN BOX" to solve the riddle, which SPIN means Spin Finish and BOX makes up the first letters of Burst, Over, and Xtreme Finish. In the localized release, the 4 sides of the box had a 1, two 2s, and a 3, representing the point scores for each Finish.)
- After each battle, one of the four torches were lit, even after Robin's defeat. This was due to each battle ending in a Knockout, Burst, and Survivor Finish, meaning to light the final torch, an Xtreme Finish must be performed, in which Jaxon successfully performs one.
- After Persona leaves, Blaze pays Zonamos a visit which he informs the latter that he believes they are both "kindred spirits".

Manga/Anime Differences
- The entire episode is additional material.
Trivia
- In the original release of the episode, the 4 Finish types are represented as "SPIN BOX" on the die. Due to the localized dubs using Survivor and Knockout Finish instead of Spin and Over Finish, this would have to be changed, therefore, the box is changed to a dice that displays the different point counts of each Finish on its sides. This also extends to the CG Model of the Box being changed to a die.
