### Summary

The missing Bottle King is in this town!? Despite such sudden news, Cota is still focused about practicing his techniques. That's when Shiman Ijuin, aka Mr. Fair Play, who is very strict about rules, shows up!! Cota cannot sympathize with Shiman, who loves peace and preaches his duty as one who possesses power... What does he mean by, "Keep the peace in Bottle Battles"!? After a difference in opinion, it's time for another battle battling on Colamaru DX!!

### Plot

The episode begins with Kochaka Dean talking about the gossip of the missing Citrus being spotted hiding within the audience during the latest battle between Roland and Ryo. After watching the program with Iroha and Ponta, Mitsuya begins sniffing for Citrus, while Ponta claims he has been spotting a certain form of scratch marks recently, and wonders if those were left by Citrus himself.

While his friends are chatting, Cota is still busy on practicing his Bottle Battling skills. Although he has been improving, Cota believes Colamaru DX hasn't unleashed its full power. Suddenly, Shiman Ijuin, the #7 Bottle Star, arrives and declares he is here to take away Colamaru from Cota. Cota is unaware of Shiman, until his friends explain to him on how famous Shiman is. Shiman then expresses his distrust on Cota's ability to harness Colamaru's Vital Sync and shouldn't be used privately. After getting confirmation from Io Hocari who gave permission to Cota on wielding Colamaru, Shiman apologizes and challenges Cota to a battle to which he would take Colamaru if he wins.

Meanwhile, Ryo receives his newly-upgraded Aquasports, which is now equipped with Vital Sync. He remembers his mother Eri's words on wanting to spread joy through Bottle Battling, but he brushes off the thought as he focuses on enacting his revenge on his father Io. But according to Rootbeer, Ryo still hasn't reached the ideal spark rate due to his wavering emotions. Thus, Machiko pushes Ryo on unleashing his worst emotions aimed at Io through Vital Sync so he can reach his ideal spark rate.

Shiman and Cota begin a match of Push Bottle, with Shiman revealing his partner Kerpeps DX. While having more experiences and advantage against Cota, Shiman gets to witness Cota's progress firsthand. With his advantageous skills on Bottle Battling, Shiman smoothly defeats Cota, and demands him to hand over Colamaru. However, they both decide to proceed the two other rounds of the match, to see who is worthy of keeping Colamaru, by determining who is the proper winner this time with both sides prepared.

## Trivia

### In the episode

* Kerpeps DX debuts in this episode.
* Vital Sync, a key element that has previously been mentioned and hinted numerous times, is first explained in this episode.
	+ According to Shiman and later Professor Rootbeer, it is an equipped functionality for Bottlemen, so they can be utilized and resonated with their users through emotions. However, users who go overboard with emotions might overcharge Vital Sync between themselves and Bottlemen, which can lead to dangerous consequences.
* Footage from Episodes 12 and 17 are reused.

### Errors

* Kochaka Dean identifies the hooded individual as Citrus by recognizing the core bottle hung on the latter's waist. However, the core bottle in question appears to be yellow with green cap, which doesn't align to the color schemes of any of Ponta/Citrus' known Bottlemen.
