Bashin Episode 36

The thirty-sixth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
The Toaru and Tonari Battle Spirits clubs combine, to face Numbers Elite in Kyoto.
==Summary==
Card Sensei and Guraguri return to Japan.
Meanwhile, Number Eight is arguing with Number Nine over when Jack Knight should have a debut match. Number Nine believes that the championship would be more appropriate, as this event will be debuting the team battle. Kiano also supports this idea, still opposed to J being a Number.
When Card Sensei sees the reports about J on TV, he becomes concerned that that J has become a Number. He decides to do something to stop this.
Bashin hears from Kyouka that J's been cutting school. Although he's surprised by this, Bashin is still optimistic about talking to J in Kyoto. Smile appears in the room, advising them to give up on Jack Knight, and saying that he's no longer their friend. Although Kyouka is upset, Bashin doesn't take Smile seriously. Suddenly, Bashin, Striker and Meganeko's cornerstones start to light up. Bashin promises Kyouka they'll help her get J back, as her card battler friends.
To travel to Kyoto, Kyouka gets a train for the group. They're also accompanied by My Sunshine, Manabu and Setsuko, as the Tonari club has decided to join forces with them.
In another part of the train, Masako is talking to Seven about his eventual Numbers debut match. Meganeko comes in then, to drop off glasses. She says that she's glad Masako could come with them. Masako replies that it's just because she's their advisor, and wishes them luck in the tournament.
Once they finally make it to Kyoto, Bashin and the others meet Card Sensei. However, they don't recognize him at first, because he grew a beard. Sensei explains that he came because of J, and he doesn't want them to get involved. He considers it his responsibility as a former Number. However, Bashin insists on taking care of it, as the only way he can get back J is to defeat him in a battle. Sensei decides to accept this.
The team battle tournament begins with the players from each team being registered in a machine, which will match them with an appropriate opponent. Thousand Spirits Group first sends out a team consisting of Maccho, Amade Us, and the curator.
Maccho, to his disappointment, is paired up against Kyouka instead of Bashin. He wins easily, however. Card Sensei, who was watching, notices how Kyouka seems out of it. J is concerned about her playing too, but tries to hide it.
In the next match, My Sunshine faces Amade Us, and wins. Bashin wins as well, in his match against the curator.
After the round is over, Kyouka sees Okyou, and decides to follow her. Kyouka explains to Okyou that she came to stop J from being a Number. However, Okyou doesn't want her to get in J's way. She says that as Queen, she listens to only Jack Knight.
In the next round of the tournament, Bashin, Striker and Manabu win through all their matches. After watching this, Elliott says that they're strong because they enjoy Battle Spirits. Kiano decides that he wants J to be sent out after all.
Meanwhile, Masako gets lost in the halls. Someone gives her directions back to the main hall, which turns out to be Card Sensei. He's amused that her sense of direction is as bad as ever, but Masako is not happy about seeing him. Card Sensei realizes that she inherited his position in watching over the chosen card battlers. He suggests that she not let anything happen to them, because she's Bashin's teacher. However, Masako replies that she's only following orders, and she won't run away from her mission like him.
Masako hurries back to the main hall, when the final stage of the tournament is announced. There, the match-ups are Striker vs. Smile, Meganeko vs. Elliott, and Bashin vs. Jack Knight. Number Nine changed the order on Kiano's request.
Striker loses his match, but Meganeko wins. This leaves the final match as the one to decide the winning team.
Before Bashin and J battle, Bashin asks J if he talked with his father yet. He replies that it's not Bashin's concern, and denies that he has any family or friends.
After a long standstill, J takes the upper hand by using a new red spirit, The DarkDragonEmperor Siegfried. J wins the match, and attacks Bashin afterwards, saying that he's weak. He only lets Bashin go after Kyouka pleads for him to stop. Smile says that Bashin should have listened to his advice.
Kyouka wishes that she could battle as well as everyone else, and face J as well. Card Sensei decides to give his cornerstone to her, saying that he doesn't have a use for it anymore.
Later, J decides that he's tired of fighting weak opponents. He thinks the only opponent suitable for him is King Uchuuchouten.
