Bashin Episode 04

The fourth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
Popular idol My Sunshine disappears before a concert, and while searching for her, Bashin finds her alter-ego Suiren instead.
==Summary:==
A raffle was held on Battle Spirits TV to win two tickets to a My Sunshine concert. Card Sensei won the prize. However, he couldn't invite his intended target, when Bashin and Meganeko showed up, and Hayami encouraged he give the tickets to them instead.
At the concert hall, Bashin found that he was sitting next to Striker. Both agreed that seeing My Sunshine was more important than their respective hobbies.
Unfortunately, the concert was put on indefinite hold when My Sunshine went missing. This was a regular occurrence at My Sunshine concerts, and it was beginning to estrange her fanbase. Bashin decided to go search for her, in fear that they would cancel her shows altogether soon.
While walking through restricted areas, Bashin learned that Aibou had come along too, and was a My Sunshine fan himself. He also encountered a card battle between a guard and a hooded girl, actually Suiren in disguise, who summoned an X-rare to win the match. Bashin approached her, hoping that she would battle with him. However, they were soon found by My Sunshine's manager, who explained that they were in a restricted area. Bashin ran, taking Suiren along with him.
Once they were safe on the roof, Suiren asked why he bought her there too. Bashin, not knowing her secrets, assumed she was just searching for My Sunshine as well. Wanting him to go back, and not paying attention to the fact that she wasn't My Sunshine at the time, Suiren offered Bashin her autograph. Fortunately, Bashin didn't realize the truth, and just thought she was My Sunshine's friend. Bashin told her that My Sunshine was being selfish by not performing for her fans. This bothered her, as she felt she had to work too much, and wanted time to play Battle Spirits. Bashin was excited to hear that My Sunshine also played Battle Spirits.
Suiren removed her hood, revealing herself, and the two, both chosen card battlers, had a battle in Isekai world. Bashin won the match, and afterwards, they were found again by My Sunshine's manager. Suiren tried to explain, but Bashin interrupted, saying that it was okay because he was with My Sunshine's friend. Not buying it, they were both kicked out.
Bashin wondered if Suiren was lying about being My Sunshine's friend. He told her that it was okay, because they were friends now. Bashin was susprised that this caused her to blush. After this, Suiren soon changed back to My Sunshine, and went on stage.
