Bashin Episode 24

The twenty-fourth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
Meganeko enters the spring tournament, disguised as the masked card battler Kiiroko.
==Summary==
Not wanting to be late to a tournament again, Bashin is in a hurry. Meganeko also left her house early, and is visiting a shrine with Card Sensei. She prays for courage. There, Meganeko also decides to enter a tournament under a new name. She chooses Kiiroko, because her favorite color is yellow.
Bashin is surprised by how much of a crowd is already gathered when he arrives. Luckily, Striker reveals to him that High Rankers don't have to wait on line.
J hasn't arrived yet, which has the staff of Battle Spirits TV concerned. They come to ask Bashin and Striker about him, but they don't know where he is either.
As Meganeko and Card Sensei enter the grounds, disguised under hoods, they're drawing quite a bit of attention. Meganeko is very excited, though.
Bashin and Striker meet with Suiren, who reveals to them how she tricked her manager to escape.
Smile is playing in the Gunslinger round again, and dominating the competition. The other Numbers are watching him from their private box, but Elliott decides to go and find out what J is up to. J is busy investigating, having learned of his father's plans the other day. Elliott denies anything happening there, which just further annoys J.
Meganeko is matched against Kyouka in the Gunslinger, who is also having a debut match. J arrives in time to watch. Before they begin, Meganeko and Card Sensei remove their hoods, revealing that they're dressed in all yellow, and Suiren masks.
Meganeko defeats Kyouka, but gets the attention of Smile, who also recognizes Card Sensei. Meganeko decides to face Smile, as a fellow student of Card Sensei. Again, Meganeko is the winner.
When the main tournament begins, Bashin is matched against Elliott in the first round. He wins, moving on. Meanwhile, J is matched against Smile, and also wins. Smile doesn't mind, as this just makes him want to recruit J even more.
Next, Bashin will face Kiiroko.
