Bashin Episode 48

The forty-eighth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
Striker and Suiren have one last secret weapon that could help defeat Number Nine.
==Summary==
While the match commences, the pets head to the control room.
Despite their brief comeback, Striker and Suiren are at a disadvantage again. Both tell Number Nine about how Battle Spirits, and the friends they made through it helped change their lives. They declare that they'll win the match, so their friends won't have to get involved. Nine replies that he has no need for friends.
Striker brings out The Duke Kingtaurus, which he uses as a tribute to summon the new X-Rare from Elliott, The GreatArmoredLord Deathtaurus. Both a green and purple spirit, it's the ideal X-Rare for Striker and Suiren. However, Nine says that it's too late now. He and Number Eight turn the battle around, and Striker and Suiren lose, regardless. After the match, he has them captured, so he can possess the purple and green cornerstones. Of course, Bashin and the others are shocked. Kyouka calls Number Nine a coward for this.
Next, Meganeko and Kyouka are up. Their opponents are Number Three and Number Ten. Smile, who is with the remaining Numbers, is watching their match. He seems to agree with what Kyouka said earlier. Smile approaches Seven, who will be his partner in the match against Bashin and J. He's disgusted with the way the brainwashed Seven is acting, preferring him as the person who willingly betrayed Bashin to become a Number.
Kyouka and Meganeko, who lost the match, are taken just like Striker and Suiren. Before disappearing, Meganeko encourages Bashin to win and save everyone. Despite this, Bashin is extremely depressed, knowing that his friends are all in danger and that he was the one to get them involved. J encourages Bashin to cheer up, and the two are prepared to win the last match.
Nine is anxious for the next match to start, and feeling smug about his victory. He's shocked when Smile and Seven come out, but Seven is back to normal, and in his Galaxy form.
J asks Smile how long he plans to support the Numbers. Smile replies that he knew who was right for a long time, and that he can't forgive the way Thousand Spirits Group is now. However, he came in order to beat Bashin and J, proving he and J make a better tag.
Nine allows the battle to begin, but plans to capture Smile and Seven once it's over. Once the battle is underway, Smile and Seven's team takes the lead.
Meanwhile, Hayami goes to visit the priest Nazo-Otona, to pick up a suitcase.
