Bashin Episode 11

The eleventh episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin
My Sunshine announces on Battle Spirits TV that she doesn't like Battle Spirits.
==Summary==
Bashin's mother leaves him behind vegetable juice to drink, and he thinks about dumping it. He's distracted from this after learning that My Sunshine is on Battle Spirits TV. There, it's announced that her new single will debut at the Battle Spirits tournament as its theme song.
My Sunshine is questioned about Battle Spirits, and says that she isn't interested in the game, because the cards aren't cute. Bashin freaks out, remembering that Suiren told him that My Sunshine was a Battle Spirits fan.
Bashin goes to the Battle Spirits center to discuss the news with Striker. Striker thinks that liking Battle Spirits wouldn't fit My Sunshine's profile. He's more focused on Suiren, however, whom he wants revenge on for beating him in J's gallery tournament.
After the filming, My Sunshine argues with her manager, who made her lie about liking Battle Spirits. She goes home in a taxi, leaving him outside. The taxi driver, of course, turns out to be Bashin's mother, who invites My Sunshine to talk with her. My Sunshine explains that she enjoys her job, but she doesn't like having to lie. Bashin's mother replies that she also told a lie, making her son take a vegetable drink when she wouldn't want one herself.
Back at the Battle Spirits center, Bashin and Striker have a match. Bashin wins. He plans to go and find My Sunshine, to teach her the appeal of Battle Spirits. Meganeko comes in, telling Bashin that she saw My Sunshine in the Speed Star. After Aibou and Cap locate it, Bashin and Striker try to catch up, but they're too late. In order to lure My Sunshine to the Battle Spirits center, they start turning around road signs to make detours.
It's not My Sunshine who comes into the Battle Spirits center, but Suiren. Bashin wants to battle her, but Striker argues that Suiren is his opponent, and Bashin's is My Sunshine. Bashin asks Suiren if she was lying about My Sunshine liking Battle Spirits, who finally admits that it's the truth. Bashin decides to go out and find My Sunshine, to let her know that lying is wrong.
Left behind, Striker and Suiren have the chance to battle. Suiren easily wins again. Bashin, obviously, is unable to find My Sunshine. He heads back to the center with Baito-kun, who is anxious to see Striker and Suiren battle. By the time they get back, it's over.
Suiren tells Bashin that his straightforward feelings were able to reach My Sunshine. She reveals to Bashin and Striker that she already received a High Ranker Pass, and assures them that they'll get one too.
Bashin, reminded that he forgot about his vegetable drink, returns home. He forces himself to down it, as lying is wrong, before going to watch My Sunshine on TV.
