Heroes Episode 44

The forty-fourth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Heroes.
Tegamaru battles Nora Nyao, but plans to rely only on Amaterasu-Dragon to win.
==Summary==
Nora Nyao wins her way through the G block, becoming its representative. Tegamaru does the same in the H block, annihilating his arrogant opponent, Kaku Noda
Even while at the world tournament, Nora isn't free from her detective work. She has to take out three guys trying to (poorly) counterfeit the Phantom Card.
On the next episode of Kimari's room, Tameru attempts to sing the theme song, but he's terrible. Kimari throws the Pandal plushie from the set at him to shut him up.
Once everything is in order again, they can start over. The guests this time are Nora Nyao and Antony Starck. Ser-jii comes to present the sales of photos from the tournament stands. Antony is in last place, but the winner by far is Tegamaru. Kimari figures this is because of how powerful he is. Of course, this is because he uses the Phantom Card. Both Nora and Antony have noticed that since using it, Tegamaru seems different, like his love for the spirits is gone. Despite how powerful Tegamaru is, however, Nora Nyao declares that she plans to beat him.
Kobushi, who was watching the show, was annoyed by Nora's comments. Chihiro, however, agreed that Tegamaru seemed to change. She expresses her worries that Tegamaru is losing control of his path. Tegamaru doesn't care though, and gives Chihiro and Kobushi Musashied-Ashliger and Kintarogue-Bear. He states that he doesn't need those cards anymore, and he'll win with Amaterasu-Dragon.
Hajime oversees this, and questions Tegamaru about removing his key cards. He replies again that he doesn't need them. Though Hajime argues that Tegamaru, who considers his spirits his allies, would never think that way, Tegamaru simply suggests Hajime leave if he thinks the tournament will be so easy.
The tension breaks when Hajime is called for his next match. He, Renard and Katabura each beat their next opponents, making it into the semi finals. The last remaining match is between the G and H block representatives, Tegamaru and Nora.
During the match, everyone notices Tegamaru's fixation on playing draw cards. He even wastes the effects of burst cards just to draw with them. Nora is determined to defeat him before he can play Amaterasu-Dragon. She nearly does, but Tegamaru keeps himself alive for just another turn with Burst Wall. Even after Tegamaru finally summons Amaterasu, Nora plays The RetsuHero Seiryubi, to resist for yet another turn. However, on her next turn, she draws a nexus card, leaving her with no spirit cards, and vulnerable to Amaterasu-Dragon's triple-symbol attack. She loses the battle.
After the match, Chihiro and Kobushi try to congratulate Tegamaru. He continues to be rude to them, saying he'll throw everything else away for his dream, and leaves while security guards prevent the two from following.
Hajime is worried about Tegamaru, and plans to battle him in order to stop him. Renard appears, reminding Hajime that he's his next opponent.
