Beyblade: Metal Masters S2 E8

## Plot

Madoka gets a message from Ryo and Hikaru. They explain the rules of the tournament to them. The battle will be divided into three one on one matches: Advance guard, second in command, and commander. Who competes, and the order they do it in, is up to each team. The first team to win two matches wins the battle. They have to decide what order they'll battle in. They need a strategy. They have no idea what order Wang Hu Zhong is battling in. They can't decide on anything, and can't stop fighting with each other. Madoka tells them to cool off, and she goes to Beylin Temple to find out who the third blader is. Mei-Mei finds her and brings her to Chi-yun. It turns out that Ginga went to the temple too. They refuse to tell them who their third blader is. He doesn't come to the temple. Masamune battles a guy with a bunch of fangirls following him. Masamune says that he can't just take off, and that they have to have a real battle. His name is Chao Xin, and he's the final regular member of Wang Hu Zhong. His Bey is Virgo. Believe it or not, he's an even bigger egomaniac, narcissist, and annoying person than Masamune. He doesn't really care about Beyblade. Dashan shows up, and since he's the leader of Wang Hu Zhong, he orders Chao Xin to battle Masamune immediately. If he wins the battle though, Dashan has to let him sit out of the championships. The battle will be held on the Great Wall, because of course it will be. Mei-Mei and Chi-yun tell Madoka and Ginga about Chao Xin. No one has ever seen him fight hard or put effort into battling. He was only put on the team because he won against Mei-Mei. She says that he's stronger than her. He's never battled Dashan or Chi-yun before, and he doesn't train with them, or train, period. Tsubasa and Yu see Masamune's battle. He keeps attacking, but he can't land a hit. He can't keep trying the same old trick. He doesn't think things through. Virgo's unique fusion wheel has the ability to fend off attacks. That's not the only reason it can dodge Striker's attacks. Virgo itself is moving in a circle, and pushing aside Striker's power. That movement is called tai chi. Masamune finally lands an attack, and keeps attacking. Dashan tells Chao Xin that if this keeps up, he'll lose. Striker uses the special move Lightning Sword Flash. An explosion occurs, and destroys the section of the wall that Masamune and his bey are on. This technically counts as a stadium out, so Chao Xin won. Dashan tells him to start training hard, because the tournament is the day after tomorrow. Chao Xin reminds him of the deal, but he says that he only won because he got lucky. He says that he'll compete seriously, but first, he has a condition. Back at the hotel, Masamune, Tsubasa, and Yu tell Ginga and Madoka about what happened. Madoka gets another call from the WBBA. They just received the order that Wang Hu Zhong will compete in. The advance guard will be Chao Xin, the second in command will be Chi-yun, and the commander will be Dashan. There's also a message for Masamune, from Chao Xin. He tells him to not run away, and that he'll defeat him in the real battle, and to finish things quickly, because he has a date afterwards. Masamune decides to battle him again.
