Bashin Episode 38

The thirty-eighth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
When My Sunshine is frustrated over her movie, Meganeko comes to her for help.
==Summary==
Bashin and Striker go the wave pool at a water park. They want to rush in, but are forced to stretch first. Meganeko arrives soon after, and thinks that the two are impressed by her swimsuit, but they're really watching My Sunshine on a monitor, and wishing she were there.
Once he's allowed in the pool, Bashin tries to ride the waves, but keeps failing. Meganeko knows something is wrong with him, probably the fact that J joined Thousand Spirits Group, because Bashin used to always succeed in this.
Striker has to carry Bashin home afterwards, but he's still determined to succeed the next time he goes.
Meanwhile, My Sunshine is filming her movie. She's facing J (though it's really just an actor). Pseudo-J is showing off his skills by cutting things with a Battle Spirits card. The scene is ruined when My Sunshine can't say her line right. Apparently, this was happening all day.
My Sunshine goes back into a private room and looks over her script. Pink wonders if she's upset because of Bashin and J, though she says there's really a lot of reasons. Pseudo-J comes into the room, and wants to help her too. He says he wants to teach My Sunshine Battle Spirits. Though, once they actually start playing, Pseudo-J is the one who's terrible at it.
Meganeko and Nanarin sneak inside, meanwhile.
When Meganeko meets Pseudo-J, he's blundering all his lines, and Meganeko tries to correct his pronunciations. Pseudo-J starts talking down about My Sunshine, until she comes into the room. This scares him, and he tries to defend himself, but just makes a mess of things and leaves.
Meganeko asks My Sunshine (whose name she keeps saying wrong) to try and help Bashin. My Sunshine objects to this. She says that Meganeko shouldn't pity Bashin, and should let him overcome this on his own. Meganeko argues that she always found My Sunshine to be amazing, so therefore she must be able to help Bashin.
While they argue, Pink and Nanarin also get into an argument. All this tension leads to My Sunshine and Meganeko having a battle. (But My Sunshine becomes Suiren first.)
Meganeko is doing well in the battle, which surprises Suiren. She even mixed some purple cards into her deck. Suiren remembers back to when she lived in Hawaii, and first found her cornerstone. That's when she decided that she didn't need anyone to support her, and she definitely couldn't give up. This confidence gives Suiren the chance to win the match, with help from a yellow magic card that she still had from her My Sunshine deck.
Later, My Sunshine goes back to filming, and this time can say her lines right.
Bashin, Striker and Meganeko return to the pool the next day. With Striker's help, Bashin succeeds in riding the waves. Though, they get scolded for using a surfboard in the pool.
Meganeko decides that to help Bashin, she should just watch over him, as his friend.

Turn 39 (Suiren)
-Suiren uses Shining Magic to return the magic Double Draw from her trash to her hand. Then, she plays Double Draw.
