Double Drive Episode 12

The twelfth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Double Drive.
Shunta, Yoku and Inui compete for a new 12 God-King.
== Summary ==
Inui and his subordinates aimlessly search for a 12-God King. They aren't having any luck, and the ruins they're in start collapsing. While they're relieved to have all made it out safely, Inui is still not content, as he wants to find a 12 God-King to be useful to Tatsumi.
On his own search for 12 God-King cards, Sandrat finds himself in a foggy place. He discovers a wall, and there, a door opens for him.
Later, Shishi announces her discovery of a new Soul Spot. She is certain a 12 God-King card is there. Both Inui and Kabuto are anxious to go and take it, but Tatsumi decides Inui is best suited for the job.
Shunta's group is also trying to navigate through fog. They're also headed for the Soul Spot. On the way there, Inui appears. Kinoto tries to beat him to the Soul Spot's location, but Inui starts to ram their ship with his. Unfortunately for him, though he makes it there first, he crashes into the wall.
Once Shunta's group reaches the wall, Sandrat is ejected through the door, and sent flying somewhere. Shunta is surprised by this, but everyone is more concerned with what the strange wall is. Eto explains that it's called the Wall of Gaiou. There, battlers face a trial where they have to last through a set number of turns, rather than winning a battle. Shunta, Yoku and Mei are anxious to try. They head to the doors. However, as the doors are opening, Inui pushes Mei away and goes through the door in his place.
Shunta, Yoku and Inui each wind up in separate rooms, and find themselves up against rock heads. They realize that the lights in the room go out each time a turn ends, and there must be ten turns total.
Shunta is the first to lose his battle, as the summoning of Diabolica-Mantis takes him by surprise. He's ejected from the wall, and is in bad shape. Eto works to heal him. She explains that because the Soul Core, which is like a battler's soul, was destroyed while in Shunta's life, the effects were damaging.
Yoku is the next to be done in, due to his opponent's brave combo. He is also ejected. Inui's subordinates are excited by the realization that he's the only one left inside.
While Inui continues to battle, Tatsumi questions Shishi about her prediction. She acknowledges that she saw only Inui being able to pass the trial. Tatsumi claims that Inui is his strongest shield, due to his unshakeable loyalty.
Though Inui is struggling, he focuses on his objective to win for Tatsumi, recalling a time when he protected Tatsumi from danger. He is finally able to get through ten turns, and is rewarded with The BoarTwelveGodKing Calamity-Boar.
Though Inui is delighted with his success, Yoku and the others are bitter about their loss, and worried about what will happen next. Sandrat, who is watching from a distance, is glad for the opportunity to get his hands on a new 12 God-King.
