Bashin Episode 25

The twenty-fifth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
If he can defeat Kiiroko, Bashin will get to face J again in the finals.
==Summary==
"Kiiroko" is getting a lot of attention from Battle Spirits TV, after her success in the tournament. While Card Sensei is watching the coverage, Smile comes to start taunting him. This leads them to going outside to settle things in a battle. Card Sensei wins, but Smile, having learned nothing, still walks off smugly.
Meganeko studies the matchups, when Bashin and his friends show up. She runs off to hide.
Noticing that Bashin will be facing Kiiroko, Striker thinks it would be interesting for Kiiroko to battle Suiren, because they look alike. This, of course, annoys Suiren. J announces that he plans to have a graduation party at his house, and invites everyone.
Meganeko takes off her mask for a moment, and is discovered by Nanarin, her grandfather, and Bashin's mother. She explains to them why she entered the tournament.
Finally, the match between Kiiroko and Bashin begins. Although Bashin wins, he reveals that he knew Kiiroko was Meganeko, and thought she was incredible at Battle Spirits. Meganeko tells Bashin to win the rest of his matches.
The Numbers, still watching the tournament, comment on their wish to recruit J. Seeing how he defeated Striker was an indication of his strength. Also, Bashin defeats Suiren, allowing Bashin and J to meet in the finals.
Meanwhile, Card Sensei goes to see King Uchuuchouten. He plans to ultimately resign from Thousand Spirits Group.
In the final round, Bashin and J have an incredibly close match. Thanks to Siegfried's effect when destroyed, Bashin manages to endure J's attacks. He wins with the help of The TwinRowdy Diranos. He's declared the new champion by Battle Spirits TV.
As J and Okyou leave the tournament, they think that J must have fulfilled his promise to Bashin well. However, J is concerned that what he and Bashin are ultimately looking at is too different.
On his way home, Bashin sees Meganeko. He invites her to the party at J's house.
That night, Nanarin comes into Meganeko's room, revealing that Meganeko's cornerstone has awakened.
