Bashin Episode 26

The twenty-sixth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
J throws a graduation party, and Bashin brings Kiiroko along to surprise his friends.
==Summary==
A graduation ceremony is held at Toaru Elementary. Once it's over, Bashin bids his school a last farewell, and rushes to the park.
Meganeko shows up to meet Bashin soon after. She reveals to him that she got contacts now, because it would be easier to read the cards without glasses. Bashin finds this weird, but she tells him he can still call her Meganeko. She then reveals a second surprise. Nanarin can talk, because she's a chosen card battler, with the yellow cornerstone. Bashin and Meganeko decide to have a quick battle in Isekai World, to test it. Bashin loses the fight, where Siegfried communicated with him somehow, warning him not to make a dangerous move.
Bashin and Meganeko next head to J's party. There, the others learn that Kiiroko was really Meganeko. In turn, Meganeko learns that Suiren is actually My Sunshine. So that there are no more secrets between any of them, she explains that Card Sensei was actually a Number.
Meanwhile, Card Sensei decides to leave Toaru for the time being, and moves out of his apartment with Guraguri.
Bashin also gets to meet J's father, Kiano at the party, who is interested in recruiting him for a Battle Spirits team. Bashin refuses the offer, wanting to be on a team with his friends instead. Kiano thinks to himself that while friends are nice, there is always cruelty in the end. He goes to meet Number Nine on the roof, who was going to take him to King Uchuuchouten. J stands in the way, not wanting his father to leave. They have a battle, where Kiano uses the new blue attribute spirits to win. He tells J, whom he calls by his real name, Juli, that what he's doing is for his son's sake.
J is angry, not wanting to be called by his real name. The tension is broken though, when Bashin and Kyouka arrive on the scene. J didn't want Bashin to see him like that, but Bashin argues that he always knew J had a sensitive side. The two decide to have a battle, which Bashin wins.
After battling, J explains how his father is getting involved in Thousand Spirits Group, who are planning to use the spirits for evil purposes. He wants to face them alone, but Bashin insists on helping. They promise to face King Uchuuchouten together.
Number Eight, who came to Toaru with Number Nine, decides to see Card Sensei. However, she finds that he's not there, and is upset with him for always running away.
