### Summary

The entire world is curious about the future movements of BMA! BMA announced at a press conference that the incident was caused by a mother computer gone berserk. After all the commotions, Cota and Ryo reunite. The two naturally start a Bottle Battle. Cota's tightening shot and Ryo's rapid fire! The two continue to fire sharp attacks at each other!! They both enjoy Bottle Battling from the bottom of their hearts. Ryo's wish has come true, and he has no hesitation in his next resolution!!

### Plot

The match between Cota and Tsubasa comes to a head, when Tsubasa does a maneuver and hits the DX Target first. However, Cota manages to be the one to actually trigger the DX Target by boosting Colamaru's shot with a forward somersault. Tsubasa then congratulates Cota for the latter's victory, as he sheds a tear of pride for his friend.

Concurrently, Ryo has watched the whole match from a television, and then heads to the hospital to return the red Aquasports DX to his father per his aunt's request. Io informs Ryo that he won't be returning to the Bottle Battling field for it has new winds and he is too old for the sport anyway, and he has also decided to resign from being president of BMA after the damages caused by the BMA crisis. However after Ryo left, Io's doctor begins to urge Io to tell Ryo his other real reason of leaving.

Just as Ryo exits from the hospital, Professor Rootbeer catches up with him and frantically warns him about the AI, which he has found out to be still alive. Ryo disregards his warning, and enters the vehicle, while Rootbeer vows to keep warning him.

On the vehicle, Ryo watches the news of a criminal organization's data being leaked and many suspects have been arrested, with the newscaster saying this is one of the largest round-ups in history. The video is interrupted by Seimei's phone call, which Ryo picks up.

Meanwhile, Cota, Mitsuya and Iroha are watching the live broadcasting news about the BMA press conference. During the conference, Suezo begins with an apology, but is immediately called out by Up Nana for lacking actual signs of remorse in his attitude. He then takes most of the credit of fighting against the AI, while also believing that the AI has been dealt with, much to Ryo's annoyance. The BMA spokesperson concludes by declaring that BMA will continue representing Bottle Battling onward, then proceeds to leave the scene alongside Suezo and other BMA representatives, ignoring all subsequent questions from the reporters.

After watching the conference, Cota tells Mitsuya and Iroha that he believes the AI is a pretty fun being and could've been their friend if they try to know it better. Suddenly, a bunch of reporters swarm at Cota and bombard him with questions, including the rumor of him becoming the next Bottle King. Fortunately, with Seimei using himself and his dog as distractions, and Iroha and Mitsuya also helping Cota to deal with the reporters by spilling their experiences with Ponta, Cota gets to flee the scene with Ryo's help.

Ryo and Cota then head to the park to practice their Bottle Battling. During their practice match, the two boys have a fun time and reminisce their time together, with Ryo unleashing his Aquasports DX's Screw Requiem during so. The whole time, Ryo is grateful of Cota helping him to regain joy for Bottle Battling again and reconciling with his father, ever since his father intensively trained him. After the match, Cota enthuses about potentially battling with Ryo again before leaving, to which Ryo is heavy-hearted about this prospect and wishes to have met Cota as his friend and rival sooner.

The next day, at another press conference, Ryo announces with a heavy heart about succeeding his father as the new BMA President and resigning from Bottle Battling.
