## Content

### Summary

Seimei decides to cut ties with Machiko Hocari, but Ryo stands in his way. The two clash violently in a Bottle Battle. Seimei is at the mercy of Ryo's high-speed rapid fire, which has been polished and sped up! He aims at the target accurately with outstanding control power without losing!! However, when Ryo bursts out with hatred toward Bottle Battles, he feels like a completely different person! What exactly happened!?

### Plot

Having enough of Machiko's lack of morals, Seimei declares that he is cutting ties with her. However, Machiko has also figured out Seimei also acts as a double agent of BMA. Seimei ignores Machiko's taunts, and is about to leave, until his way is blocked by a resentful Ryo. Having no choice, Seimei is forced to partake in a match of Strike Nine against Ryo.

During the match, it becomes clear that Ryo has been clouded by his hatred against his own father, having lost the shine in his eyes. Seimei notices that Ryo has also gotten much quicker with the reloading speed. Before Seimei can react, Ryo has already conquered the first round. To counter this, Seimei equips Lifleguardiwan DX with a second short barrel.

Although the second short barrel has improved Lifleguardiwan's aim, which is able to help Seimei pass the second round, Ryo remains determined and blind to destroy Bottle Battling. In fact, Ryo continues firing shots from Aquasports DX aimlessly, even after he has lost the second round. To Seimei's confusion, Ryo interrogates on why Seimei continues Bottle Battling. It turns out, Seimei doesn't hate Bottle Battling, it is more about him having to recover from the associated trauma with the sport he endured when he was younger. However, this is still enough to anger Ryo, who finds him to be an idiot.

Soon, Ryo instantly overpowers Seimei in the third round, due to his insanely hastened firing speed and reloading time. Seimei acknowledges that Ryo has won, and Machiko says he can now do whatever he wishes. But to Seimei's shock, Ryo descends into a wrathful Burst state, destroying the facilities in the area with destructive, rage-fueled shots. Seimei attempts to stop Ryo from rampaging, only to get injured by Ryo who pushes him off. Even the laughing Machiko is surprised that Ryo has gotten so powerful.

Meanwhile, Shiman leaves Cota's group after their matches. Kaori comments on how she is surprised by Cota making use of the long barrel she made, so she decides to head off as well to build something even more crazy. Cota is flattered that Ayata considers him a master and is noting down what he has said, much to Iroha and Mitsuya's surprise. However, Ponta is glad that Ayata has finally acknowledged how amazing Cota is. Ayata then reminds Cota that he actually has been impressed by how Cota has defeated Leo Kinjishi, to which Mitsuya finally remembers Ayata as the boy who asked Cota for an autograph at the Fan Appreciation Day. After being sarcastically remarked by Mitsuya for being so rude previously, Ayata finally admits that he was selected by BMA to try out Ayawashi DX, and then dramatically apologizes to Cota. Cota then accepts his apology and promises to meet him at the next Bottle Royale, much to Ayata's joy.

On the other hand, Seimei, still limping from his injuries, notices a nearby phone booth, prompting him to contact Io about Ryo's anomaly. Io, upon learning the news from Seimei, becomes concerned for his son. Conversely, Machiko decides to deploy the emotionally unstable Ryo in the next Bottle Royale to put an end to BMA.
