Dan Episode 18

The eighteenth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Gekiha Dan
Clackey's first opponent is Light Speed Shula, the brother of the lonely princess he met in town.
==Summary==
Dan and Zungurii are excitedly checking out street stands selling cards. Clackey is checking out the girls instead. Their trip is interrupted when they hear a struggle going on in the streets, and they decide to check it out. A child is being attacked by Jin, but she gets herself out of trouble by kicking him in the balls, and defeats him. She says that her name is Seiru Astoria. She's a princess.
Afterwards, Seiru requests that Dan teach her Battle Spirits, because he's a High Ranker. He thinks that would be a bit difficult, and asks if the people in her castle could teach her. Seiru explains that her father and mother are almost always away, and her brother left her, so she's alone. However, she's still determined to be strong, so she can enter the tournament.
Jin explains to Seiru why the tournament would be too tough for her, recounting a match he had against Light Speed Shula. He was defeated in one turn.
Seiru remembers when she played Battle Spirits with her brother in the past. She quit the battle, as she was losing with her weak cards. Her brother dropped a diamond ring and a rock in the water, both of which sunk. He explained that both are ordinary when underwater. Battle Spirits is the same, and X-Rares are no better than any other cards. Afterwards, he gave Seiru a card, The ArcAngelia Isfiel. Hearing the story, Clackey realizes that Seiru's true wish is to find her missing brother.
Later, Suzuri and Brustom are having a match, which Brustom wins due to having an insane amount of X-Rares. He says that the victor is decided by whoever has the most X-Rares. Suzuri tells Brustom a rumor about a tournament participant who isn't using a single X-Rare in his deck, which makes him furious. That person was Shula, who is actually Seiru's brother. In the past, Brustom destroyed everything they had. Because of this incident, Seiru's brother left on a quest for revenge. That was when he started calling himself Shula.
When the battle begins, Clackey has realized Shula's identity, and is determined to beat him for Seiru's sake. Using magic, Clackey survives Shula's signature one-turn kill. Eventually, he proves that he can win because he isn't isolated like Shula. He has all his friends supporting him. Shula's mask breaks when he's defeated.
Despite having lost the battle, Shula doesn't return to Seiru. He just leaves a letter behind. However, he stops trying to get revenge. Seiru gives Isfiel to Clackey, because the letter said she should give it to someone who could make her smile.
Meanwhile, Brustom finds that his X-Rare collection was missing, and assumes Suzuri was the culprit. (It was Shula).
