Hanami: At the ruins, the first point of the Battle Island tourney has been taken by Blindt DeVoy of the Risen 4! How is Dante and Demi Koryu going to respond?!

Dante: (Groans) Man, Blindt's seriously strong. He's gotta have a weakness somewhere.

Blindt: On the contrary, I'm an artist that strives for perfection. Weakness would be so unbecoming of me.

Taka: Let's see. A weakness... Huh? I can't find any weaknesses or anything!

Ichika: It just says it's hard to burst.

Pearl: You're saying that it's impossible to burst?

Taka: How does it not have a weakness?!

Juniper: Hmm...

Dice Machine: Second battle.

Koryus: (Groans) Dragon/Dragoness.

(Resonating with their Beys)

Demi: How did Delta and Destiny win against him?

Dragoness: You are not them.

Demi: (Gasps)

Dragon: To beat Blindt, you must find your own way.

Dante: Our own way?

(End of Resonating)

Dante: That's it! All right! I'm goin' with Ace this time!

Demi: I'll go with Gleam.

Blindt: (Laughs) Don't be too hasty now. At least try to savor my art.

Dragon and Dragoness: Concentrate.

Koryus: Yeah! Concentrate, concentrate,

Koryus: concentrate!

Juniper: (Seems they have found the answer.)

Demi: Are you ready, brother?

Dante: Here we go, Sis. Get ready. This is our way!

Dice Machine: Ready. Set!

3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!

Hanami: All three bladers have nailed powerful launches!

Koryus: Go, Dragoness/Dragon Launch!

Hanami: My, oh, my! Somebody needs to check the pause button, because these powerful attacks are showstopping!

Dante: Yeah!

Demi: That's how it's done!

Blindt: To be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. Now then, let's draw! Dusk Circle!

Ichika: Huh?

Taka: Balkesh became a perfect circle!

Tango: You got that right. This must be their perfect defense.

Dante: Who cares? Break through it!

Hanami: Balkesh is on a roll, and it's parrying every one of Dragon's and Dragoness' attacks!

Blindt: In case you didn't know, this is my art. And now for the finishing touch.

Blindt: You'll find today's masterpiece is utterly explosive! BALKESH!!! (Summon avatar)

Dante: (Groans)

Demi: We'll never gonna break through that circle.

Dragon: Balkesh isn't letting you attack it directly!

Dragoness: Aim for the center.

Demi: The center?

Dante: That must be it!

Demi: I see it!

Koryus: (Chuckles) 'Kay, Dragon!

Koryus: Let's go! We trust you!

Dragon and Dragoness: Good! (Summon Avatars)

Dragon and Dragoness Hyper-Flux shined.

Blindt: What's that?!

Koryus, Dragoness, and Dragon: (Roaring) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Koryus: OKAY. COME ON, DRAGON/DRAGONESS!! IT'S TIME TO RISE/SHINE!!!

Blindt: (Gasping)

Hanami: What a mind-blowing comeback! Looks like the Koryus just burst Blindt's artistic bubble!

Dante: Yeah! Nailed it!

Demi: Nice work!

Dice Machine: Ace Dragon and Gleam Dragoness with a burst finish. By a score of 2-1, Dante and Demi Koryu are the winners.

Aiger: Dante and Demi Koryu.

Luna: So that's their Hyper-Flux. I like your style, Demi.

Aiger: Not too bad, Dante. (Chuckles) Sis, this is gettin' interesting!

Luna: Yeah!

Demi: We're unstoppable.

Dante: We totally did it, huh, Dragon?

Dragoness: Hmm. But we can still evolve even further.

Dragon: Keep going.

Dante: Yeah! Just wait. We're gonna make you the best there ever was together.

Demi: Forever.

Blindt: (Growls) What do you mean, the best?

Hanami: Meanwhile, the battle royale in the misty forest is over in a whopping five seconds! Delta Zakuro's Devolos and Destiny Zakuro's Demonyx are in perfect form! And Fumiya Kindo walks away from stage four's big top bey battle.

Fumiya: Yup! Told you I would win! Let's move on to the next stage, shall we?

(At stage six, Amy and Arman won)

Amy: That was quick.

Arman: Nice! How's that for a burst finish?

Hanami: Talk about exciting! Time for a second roll of the dice!

Luna: All right! Let's do it! Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!!!

The Kusabas rolled another six.

Amy: Hey! We got another six!

Arman: Man, are we lucky!

As for the Koryus, they've got a two.

Dante: (Screams) A two?!

Demi: First we've got a one, and now a two.

Taka: Looks like Arman and Amy's just better at rolling the die.

Ichika: Unbelievable! Two sixes in a row? That's 12 stages already!

Demi: Talk about lucky.

Juniper: Looks like they're getting better and better.

Dante: (Yells) So not fair!

Hanami: Once again, the Bladers are off to their designated stages! You won't wanna miss these upcoming battles!

(At stage three where Dante and Demi are at)

Demi: I guess there will be no battling here.

Dante: Wait! Nobody is even here!!!

Hanami: Over at stage seven, neither Fumiya Kindo nor Destiny and Delta Zakuro look ready to bridge the gap!

Fumiya: Delta and Destiny Zakuro, eh? I hear you're pretty strong. Too bad for you, though. You see, I've got a trick up my sleeve!

Delta: Are you done?

Fumiya: You're ignoring me?

Arman: What trick is he talking about?

Taka: Do you think he was just bluffing?

Ichika: Trust me, Fumiya isn't the lying type, not about this.

Juniper: I wonder what kind of trick does he have?

Dante: I made it!

Arman: Dante?

Dante: Huh?

Arman: You know this is stage seven, right?

Dante: Yeah, I know. I'll go back after. I just didn't really wanna miss this battle!

Amy: Where's Demi?

Dante: At stage three.

Dice Machine: First battle.

Fumiya: (Ichika. Watch closely now. I'll make you realize your big brother is number one.)

Devolos: The secret trick, do you know what it is?

Delta: Yeah. Feel free to play with Devolos a bit.

Destiny: It's playtime, Demonyx.

Fumiya: (He's going with the clockwise-spinning bey, just as I predicted.)

Dice Machine: Ready. Set!

3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!!!

Hanami: What have we here?! Fafnir's spinning at a snail's pace. Did he just botch his launch?

Juniper: Oh?

Hanami: No, no, no! Fafnir has begun absorbing power from Devolos and Demonyx! However, its spin is still on the slow side. Is it going to be okay?

Fumiya: (All according to plan.)

Ichika: He's absorbing power?

Juniper: No. He's going for a slow motion burst.

Dante: When a slow counterclockwise-spinning bey bumps into a fast clockwise-spinning bey, there's a chance it'll burst its opponent! That's what Fumiya's trying to pull off!

Arman: That's wicked.

Devolos and Demonyx went to Fafnir, but it's rubber shook it off and got knocked back.

Fumiya: (Yells)

Devolos hits the wall and got burst.

Fumiya: Yes! It's a burst for you a big victory for me!

Destiny: Aren't you forgetting?

Delta: Now, Dual Phantom.

Fumiya: (Gasps)

Hanami: What's this?! Devolos wasn't burst. It was cloned!

The Bullet comes to Fafnir making it absorb its spin.

Hanami: Contact! But Fafnir's wasting no time in absorbing the clone's power!

Fumiya: No, Fafnir! Don't absorb from it!

Destiny: Too late, Demon Launch!!!

Delta: Now, Clone Impact!

Fafnir's parts have fell into the water.

Fumiya: (Gasps)

Hanami: They've nailed it! Not even Fafnir's slow-motion burst strategy was enough to take Demonyx and Devolos down!

Dice Machine: Shining Demonyx and Venom Devolos with a burst finish. Delta and Destiny Zakuro are the winners of this battle.

(At stage 3)

Demi: Poor Fumiya. You gave it everything you have.

(At stage 7)

Fumiya: (Shuddering)

His glasses fell off the water. He was about to catch them, but missed.

Fumiya: Oh, Fafnir, no.

(Fumiya's childhood)

Young Fumiya sees his sister, Ichika, and tells him about that battle on TV. He watched and saw Free's Turbo Bey.

Geist Fafnir.

(End of childhood)

Ichika: Fumiya!

Ichika: Fafnir is just fine!

Fumiya: Ichika.

Dante: Hey!

Fumiya: Huh?

Dante: Don't worry! We picked Fafnir up for you!

Arman: Good grief. You can really be a big pain, you know?!

Fumiya: (Shuddering)

Juniper comes up to Fumiya.

Juniper: Your Slow-motion strategy worked. Do you realized what that means? It means you still got ways to go with Fafnir. Even your sister would be proud, too. Right, Ichika?

Ichika: Eh?

She was starting to realize what Juniper's saying.

Ichika: (Sighs and giggles)

Fumiya: (Muffled screams) Who told you you can touch fafnir?! You're not worthy!!!
