While Mitsuya is still filled with joy, Kaori appears in front of him and declares herself as his opponent...!? In a control Bottle Battle, which side will the goddess of victory smile upon!?

### Plot

Having finally paid off the bridge's repairs, Cota decides to continue as a Bottle Battler. Cota then finds a cap inside his locker, which is revealed by Ponta to be Citrus' cap. Ponta assumes that Citrus gave this cap to Cota in order to congratulate his recent advance to the Silver rank after his battle with Leo Kinjishi.

Ponta then takes Cota, Mitsuya and Iroha to the BMA Fan Appreciation Day. There, Haku Kurenai, who is one of the Three Champions that has been gone from the public spotlight for a while, is introduced by Iroha and Ponta, who describe Haku who treats his fans with care and foes with fairness. Ryo is also shown to have his own special talk show during the festival. Cota is then approached by a fan of his for an autograph. Cota initially thinks the kid was the one who gave him Citrus's cap, but then notices the kid has no idea and he proceeds signing the autograph. Iroha is glad that Cota is getting popular, but Mitsuya seems to have something else in mind.

Suddenly, Io appears on the spot and says he has to discuss something with Cota, much to Iroha and Mitsuya's surprise. Ryo is disgruntled with his father's presence, but Roland reminds him to showcase his best presentation to his fans. Io then takes Cota into one of the BMA buildings, and tells Cota that the data of Cota's burst has gotten into the hands of the BMA rebellion, so he needs Cota's assistance. Cota is confused with the revelation though, and declines the offer as all he wants is just to have fun with Colamaru DX. Io respects Cota's choice as Cota returns to the festival, as Io actually reminisces how his son Ryo used to be much happier with Bottle Battling as a child.

Cota then meets up with his three friends again at a crowded event, which is a special annual giveaway. To Mitsuya's delight, he gets to receive the Arrowcider DX special kit. Iroha actually knows that Mitsuya doesn't get much allowance from his parents, so Mitsuya had been stuck with a generic Bottleman, until now where he finally gets Arrowcider DX as his partner. Kaori then enters the scene and challenges Mitsuya, which Mitsuya accepts. Kaori goes for the red bottles, while Mitsuya goes for the blue ones.

Kaori at first gets confident with her skills, but Mitsuya isn't backing down either. Mitsuya proceeds summoning Arrowcider DX and uses Arrow Grip Mode to unleash Cider Impact. As Kaori gets cocky, Mitsuya changes Arrowcider DX into its Stabilizer Mode. In fact, Mitsuya has been watching Kochaka Dean's tutorials on how to harness Arrowcider DX. With Kaori's misfiring, Mitsuya becomes the winner of the match, but Kaori congratulates him anyway.

Cota is happy for Mitsuya, and both boys challenge each other to another match. However, the kids are oblivious to themselves being watched from behind the scenes, and that Leo has gained Cota's data for Machiko.
