Bashin Episode 31

The thirty-first episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
My Sunshine learns that her new school lacks a Battle Spirits club, and tries to rectify that.
==Summary==
My Sunshine is filming a show at Tonari Private Middle School for Battle Spirits TV. The tour of the school quickly leads them to a board of test results, showing that My Sunshine failed. This part will be cut from broadcast.
As the show's main event, My Sunshine announces that she'll be starring in an upcoming movie, and will become a card battler. Although she always wanted to be able to battle besides as Suiren, she's disturbed to realize that her deck is yellow, and filled with cute spirits. Her manager argues that it fits her image more, and so My Sunshine is stuck with that deck.
Later, My Sunshine's manager tries to recruit J to play himself in the upcoming movie. J refuses. My Sunshine also wants to recruit J, but for something completely different. She wants to know if J will join the Battle Spirits club. There, she learns from Kyouka that the school has no such club.
My Sunshine protests to Elliott to make a Battle Spirits club. He's willing to accept, but Setsuko, the president of the student council denies the request.
Okyou wonders why J doesn't want to join the Battle Spirits club. J says he doesn't have time though, as he has some other plan.
Meanwhile, My Sunshine gathers an audience, hoping to get people excited about joining a Battle Spirits club. She plans to act as Suiren, but Kyouka convinces her that My Sunshine would be more popular. When she goes on stage though, the audience just wants her to sing for them. Setsuko and the rest of the student council break them up, and the crowds leaves when they learn that Battle Spirits was the purpose of the event. Kyouka asks Manabu, Setsuko's number two, to acknowledge them. He slips and reveals that the club could be accepted if they got six members.
Afterwards, three kids from the assembly go to see My Sunshine, as they were actually interested in Battle Spirits. One collects Goradon, one collects stag beetles, and the other collects master rares. However, none of them actually like to battle, and lose interest upon learning the club is for battling.
J goes to see his father and Elliott to discuss his plans, but his father is ignoring him as usual, and knowing Kiano's feelings on the matter, Elliott tries to change the subject. Once J leaves, Elliott questions why Kiano is so opposed to the idea of J joining Numbers Elite, as he thinks it would be a good thing.
J is stopped by My Sunshine and Kyouka in front of the school gates. Though he's in a rush to leave, My Sunshine convinces him to have a battle. If she wins, he'll have to help them with the Battle Spirits club.
Once they start to Battle, My Sunshine realizes she still had the yellow deck from before. She had mixed in some purple cards, but the deck is still too weak, and she loses easily. However, she accepts her loss, and thought it was fun to use a different color for once. J agrees that it was interesting. Kyouka tells J that he can battle many new decks if he joins the club, but J still wants to leave.
When My Sunshine and Kyouka go back to school, they find that the three kids from earlier are battling now. They want to join the club, which brings the member count up to 5. The student council then appears to stop them. However, Manabu decides to join as the 6th member, because he's Kyouka's fan. Elliott immediately allows the club. Although, Setsuko threatens My Sunshine that she needs to do well on her next test.
My Sunshine and Kyouka go to the student council room, only to find Setsuko playing Battle Spirits. She says that she wants to be on the same terms as Kyouka.
Later, J goes to Isekai World Dome. Okyou decides to come along. The members of Numbers Elite are waiting, and J takes the ring. He then becomes Number Eleven, Jack Knight.
