Episode Description
Ginro and his group arrive at an abandoned warehouse. When they look inside, they find Packun surrounded by Bey machines, working under the underground Pro Bladers. The underground group presents them with a condition: if they win the battle, they can take Packun back. The match begins, and Ekusu takes down several of the underground pro members one after another. Meanwhile, Ginro gives Team Pendragon’s Ciel Kaminari a Bey identical to the one used by Khrome Ryugu, whom he deeply admires. Ciel then faces off against one of the top players in the underground pro scene. Ciel declares, "I don’t want to become Khrome—I want to surpass him!" However, Packun, watching the battle unfold, grows increasingly frustrated. What unexpected action does he take!?
