Bashin Episode 29

The twenty-ninth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
Bashin and the others finally enter middle school, where both he and J find Numbers within their new schools.
==Summary==
It's the first day of the new school year. Bashin's mother convinces him to take a photo for his father, before he heads out.
Bashin, Meganeko and Striker, all in their new uniforms, check to see what class they're in. Striker and Meganeko were both put in class A, but Bashin is alone in class C. While still outside the school, Bashin thinks he hears Smile. He looks around to investigate, but instead meets a teacher, who hurries him to class. Bashin notes that she seems familiar.
The teacher, in fact, was Number Eight. She is Bashin's new music teacher, and introduces herself as Masako Inogashira. She's bothered, because a certain student who sits next to Bashin is missing from class. That student was Smile. Neither Bashin or Smile knew they would be classmates, and neither are happy to see each other. They decide to battle after school.
At Tonari Private Middle School, where J, Kyouka and My Sunshine attend, Battle Spirits TV is filming. However, the student council comes to stop them, saying that filming is prohibited. They ignore this, and keep trying to follow J and My Sunshine around with cameras.
J, Kyouka and My Sunshine meet at an assembly. My Sunshine and Kyouka will be in the same class. To everyone's surprise, Elliott and Kiano show up at the ceremony, as the school's principle and chairman, respectively. J distrusts their intentions immediately. He goes to interrogate them afterwards, but they claim they bought the school just to promote learning. Still not really buying it, J is particularly angry with his father. He wants to chase after him, but Elliott stands in the way. The two get into a battle, which J wins.
Back at Toaru Middle School, Bashin and Smile have their planned battle. Smile ends up winning. He tells Bashin that he really wanted to attend Tonari with J. Bashin is angry at him for always following J around, but Smile claims that J is the one following him now.
Later, the members of Numbers Elite gather before King Uchuuchouten. They reveal a battle system, which is a part of their plan to rule the world. Kiano then introduces himself to King Uchuuchouten, as Number Three.
