Bashin Episode 12

The twelfth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin
Bashin gives Siegfried to Striker, and goes off to try and win 100 battles without it.
==Summary==
Bashin and Striker are contently watching My Sunshine on TV, until Baito-kun finds them. He's upset to find that they're not preparing for the championship.
J is on Battle Spirits TV, discussing the upcoming tournament, and High Ranker passes, which he of course has. Seeing this gets Bashin, who still hasn't gotten his, worked up. Striker, being new to Battle Spirits, is just confused, and asks Bashin about the Gunslinger. Bashin and Baito-kun explain to him that basically, it's a preliminary, and the battler who wins the most matches gets a place in the main tournament.
Though the thought of being in the Gunslinger makes Bashin unhappy, he's at least confident because of Siegfried. Bashin and Striker have a match, and Striker waits until Bashin uses Siegfried to exhaust it, allowing him to win the match. Bashin overreacts to this, but finally decides to lend Siegfried to Striker, and see how far he can go without it. His goal is 100 wins.
Striker's brothers appear at the center, warning Striker of a Nazo-Otona. Though they were only playing around, they claim to have been hunting one. Striker wonders where he would find one in the first place. He tries to think of what adults like to do, and remembers that his father snuck out to play golf earlier.
Bashin goes to a shop, looking for opponents. Though he was only targeting one specific opponent, after he wins, the woman working there incites a crowd to try and beat him. Afterwards, he continues challenging everyone he can find.
Cap goes off ahead to the golf course. He finds Striker's father there, but is surprised to see him talking to a woman, actually a Nazo-Otona, and thinks that maybe he's having an affair. He goes to warn Striker about it. His brothers use this chance to run onto the course, making a mess.
After Striker's father takes his brothers home, Striker is left with the Nazo-Otona, who challenges him to a battle. At first, she uses a deck and strategy near identical to Strikers, until she summons an x-rare, The Duke Kingtaurus. Striker is able to defeat it thanks to having Siegfried, a non-green spirit in his deck. As a reward, she gives the card to him, as well as a High Ranker Pass.
Her actual objective was to meet Bashin, and give him a High Ranker Pass he was owed, but she was just lost along the way. When Bashin gets home, disappointed over winning only 99 battles, the Nazo-Otona is waiting for him. Bashin is glad to finally have his High Ranker Pass.
