Bashin Episode 42

The forty-second episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
At last Bashin and Jack Knight battle, but King Uchuuchouten brings real spirits into the match.
==Summary==
As Bashin and Jack Knight prepare for their match, the dome's ceiling opens. Outside, it appears to be night, even though it's daytime.
Bashin summons his first spirit, DarkDinohound, but rather than a hologram, the actual spirit comes out.
In the battle, Bashin takes the lead, as Jack Knight loses four lives in one turn, rather than blocking. However, Jack Knight easily turns it around, leaving Bashin with only one life as well. After messing up further, Bashin manages to make a comeback. He gets Siegfried to the field, as well as a resurrected Diranos, which was destroyed earlier. In a final gamble, Bashin uses the magic Invincible Shield, which will give his spirit immunity from anything but white and yellow effects. He does this fully knowing that white is Jack Knight's preferred color.
Jack Knight, who actually does have a white magic card in his hand, doesn't move. He asks Bashin why he did this. Bashin replies that it's because he wants J to remember that white is his color. Jack Knight starts to cry and says that white is the only color he can't bring himself to use now. Now, he's the black Jack Knight. Bashin replies that it doesn't matter what color he uses, because he's not Jack Knight, but their friend, J.
Bashin finishes the battle, and J is content to admit defeat. He removes his black cape, and he and Bashin run to hug each other, agreeing that the battle was incredibly fun.
Then, Uchuuchouten appears, calling Bashin to his summit. Bashin opens the gate, and is summoned into Isekai world like a spirit. Bashin asks if he'll be the best card battler in the universe if he defeats Uchuuchouten. Uchuuchouten says this is true. Bashin wants to thank him, for giving him the chance to battle J. He asks if both J and his father can be released from Thousand Spirits Group. Uchuuchouten replies that the both of them already quit. Bashin explains that he and J promised to defeat Uchuuchouten together. Therefore, he requests to postpone their battle. Uchuuchouten allows this, and transports Bashin back to the real world.
J and his father both realize the other had resigned. Kiano promises to talk to J more face-to-face in the future.
Meanwhile, Elliott reveals to Masako that he also resigned, and apologizes to her.
Number Nine, who has changed into a red suit, stands alone in a room and says that the time for games is over.
