## Content

### Summary

Io and Cota find Ryo in a berserk state due to burst! Ryo hits Io with his hatred toward Battle Battling! Cota desperately tries to remind him of the fun of Battle Battling... However, when Io sees this, he realizes something important! It is necessary for the father and son, who have constantly missed each other, to come face to face! Ryo, who has lost himself in anger and hatred, strikes an electric shock of hatred toward Cota and Colamaru DX!!

### Plot

Ryo, in his burst state, continues mindlessly attacking and disqualifying other players left and right with Aquasports DX' powerful shots to jam other Bottlemen and damaging the arena's surroundings.

On the other hand, Io explains to Cota that he doesn't want to burden the latter with his own family issues, but then allows Cota to accompany him after seeing how insistent Cota is, and acknowledges the fact that Cota is a worthy friend and rival for his son. Both Io and Cota then follow the icon which indicates Ryo's location. Inside the bunker, Suezo is annoyed by how noisy the outside environment is.

Meanwhile, all remaining players are urged to be evacuated due to the danger Ryo imposes. Santa believes it's his own power being dangerous though. With his match against Leo being interrupted, Tsubasa decides to help one of the Black Suits to evacuate other players to safety.

Io and Cota finally locate Ryo, who is at an abandoned site with a tall tower. Cota uses Colamaru DX's shots to drag Ryo's attention, then attempts to persuade Ryo to stop raging and battle with him instead. However, Ryo only grows even more wrathful upon noticing his own father Io, believing Io was using Cota as a pawn to force him to continue training for Bottle Battling. In a fit of rage, Ryo declares that he vehemently hates Bottle Battling and believes the sport is the cause of his mother Eri's coma, shocking the public. Although Machiko actually has expected this outcome to happen.

Realizing Ryo is spiraling out of control, Cota attempts to stop him, but instead is about to be attacked. Abruptly, Colamaru sacrifices itself for the sake of Cota, which ends up breaking itself by enduring Ryo's shot. With that, Cota passes out after Colamaru protects him.

As Cota passes out much to Io's shock, he then realizes many of Ryo's shots have hit the tower, which is collapsing due to the shots' velocity and power. After placing the passed-out Cota to safety, Io promptly tackles his son, who is being unresponsive to the falling tower, in an effort to protect Ryo. Unfortunately, a steel beam hits Io severely, causing him to sustain a severe injury in front of Ryo. Watching how his father protected him, Ryo finally realizes that Io actually cares about his well-being more than Bottle Battling, and that they both care for Eri, whom Io regrets for not being able to return home in time when she suddenly fell ill and then got into a coma. In fact, Io reveals that he did attempt to hurry returning to Eri back on that fateful day, but a snowstorm prevented him from doing so. Io subsequently faints after apologizing to Ryo.

A rain then begins pouring at the now almost vacant battlefield. After leaving his father to be, Ryo wanders away from the arena aimlessly, still shaken by what he has done to his own family and everyone else. Machiko apparently has been observing Ryo with a hidden mobile camera robot, smugly looking at the disastrous aftermath and knows her plan is ready to launch. As for Cota, he is devastated to learn that Colamaru has protected him and thus heavily damaged, letting out a cry in the rain.
