## Content

### Summary

Colamaru DX's power shot gets overpowered!? After losing the first point, Cota is overwhelmed by Shiman's strength. He struggles against Shiman's Dual Impact, which can launch two caps at the same time. Even though he fires the Tightening Shot he is good at, he misses several shots in a row due to being anxious. Shiman is a formidable foe with strengths in both power and control! If Cota loses, Colamaru DX would be confiscated! How would you dare to do such a thing!!

### Plot

As promised, Shiman continues his match with Cota. The condition of the match is Cota can keep Colamaru, as long as he wins the two other rounds. Mitsuya bemoans Cota for striking too quickly earlier, while Iroha hopes Cota survives the remaining rounds.

Initially, Cota seems to be regaining some leverage with his tightening shot. He then remembers what Seimei said before and attempts to aim for the center of the target's cap, but fails and hits its edge instead, to which Shiman then takes the chance to retaliate by actually managing to hit the center. This is attributed to Kerpeps DX's combined power and stability, thanks to its stable trigger and hold parts. Again, Cota misfires, and loses his chance.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Ryo visits Eri, who is still in a coma. He then notices the Gold Rank Cap he used to own, back when he first earned it after reaching the Gold Rank, but discarded after Io criticized him. Eri's doctor approaches Ryo, and tells him that Io is happy that he has returned to Bottle Battling, while remarking on how Io did his best to find Eri's favorite flowers for her. The doctor also adds that Io was the one who gave the Gold Rank cap to Eri. Ryo gets crossed at his father, who he considers to only care about him training for Bottle Battling intensively, so the doctor lectures Ryo on how Io might just have expectations and deep down still loves Ryo and Eri.

In the meantime, Cota still misfires his shots, although Ponta isn't too concerned about such. Shiman concurrently thinks that while Vital Sync seems to be the ideal system, it has the fatal flaw of causing users to go overboard under heightened emotions, which is what Io told him before. Seeing Cota getting worked up, Shiman firmly believes Vital Sync users like Cota are against the rules and that he is justified to confiscate Colamaru DX. Such thought was immediately proven otherwise, however, as Cota has already shot the bottle target into Shiman's goal, much to the latter's disbelief.

Upon learning Cota's method of counteracting said negative emotions by remembering positive memories, Shiman becomes even more firm on the prospect of defeating Cota.

As for Ryo, he is in denial of the doctor's truth. He then heads back to BMA's headquarter building with the view to confront Io and see the truth for himself.

Back to Cota and Shiman, Cota unleashes a powerful shot, but unfortunately misfires into the wall instead, hence making him lose the match. Shiman explains Cota, who is frustrated, has focused too much on the tightening shot and thus lose focus on other angles, like balance and aim. He adds that Cota should work on improving his skills if he wants to take on higher-ranking battles. Cota immediately assumes Colamaru is going to be confiscated and begins hysterically begging Shiman to not do so, hence Shiman reassures Cota that after witnessing such a bond between Cota and Colamaru, he won't be taking Colamaru away out of respect. In fact, Shiman knows Cota's abilities are magnificent and that the boy has the capabilities of facing other stronger opponents if given enough practices.

Suddenly, the boy from the Fan Appreciation Day appears, and says he finds the match disappointing after he saw how Cota performed. He then introduces Ayawashi DX, which bears a strong resemblance to Colamaru, much to everyone's shock.
