### Summary

Haku suddenly changed from his calm demeanor. Is that the rumored hidden face!? Even though he is supposed to be an ally, he switches sides and gives his point to B-DACT!? Ryo has no time to counter Haku's quick continuous fire attacks, and has been cornered while defending. "It's over..." Just when he has made up his mind, Roland appears gallantly and requests for a duel via one of the special rules!! Could this stop Haku's overwhelming battle!?

### Plot

As the feud between BMA and B-DACT continues, Ponta asks Cota what's the matter on not joining the battle, to which Cota answers he's confused over why both parties are fighting against each other over power struggles.

Back at the battlefield, after Haku is revealed to have betrayed BMA by giving points to B-DACT and actually reveals his second personality, which is his wild side, Ryo is shocked about Haku's betrayal, to which Haku responds with how he thinks battles are more fun when they are violent. Haku summons L Milkaiser DX and begins to use it to attack Ryo and Seimei. Up Nana questions Suezo about the rules of swapping Bottleman mid-battle during a Bottle Royale, which Suezo chooses to circumvent the rules, much to Nana's chagrin. Despite Seimei's efforts, Haku still manages to eliminate him out of the competition.

As Haku gets more violent during the battle, many of the audiences are becoming frightened by his sudden change. Io, who is still hospitalized, ponders what has gotten into Haku, while Iroha and Mitsuya are surprised that the rumors about Haku containing a dark side is true.

The BMA supporters are also shocked by the sudden twist of Haku, and they begin to worry for Ryo. Roland volunteers to cover for Ryo, as he is aware of Haku's dark side, and tells his teammates to focus on the DX Target as their main priority. Ayata now wishes Cota was there to help them.

As for Ponta and Cota, the former tells Cota he has noticed how unmotivated Cota is and knows something is bothering his friend. Cota then confirms he does have something bothering him.

Back at the battlefield, Ryo is at a disadvantage against Haku's rapidly fired attacks, unable to find an opening to retaliate. Worse, Ryo is depleting in caps and he can't reach the other fallen caps so easily, due to the risk of being attacked by Haku. As Up Nana and the audiences remain astonished by the deranged Haku, Machiko grins and is glad things are going her way.

Just as Ryo thinks he's done for due to Haku's shots at different traps which has triggered multiple bottles at his direction, Roland appears to deflect the bottles and confronts Haku by challenging Haku to a duel under the special Tri-Match rules. As explained by Up Nana, duels take place in dueling spaces across the battleground, or in a trap switch battle on the spot, and swapping parts to infiltration are allowed. In the duel, battle modes from 1 on 1 Bottle Battles to trap cap-fights are also permitted. The winner will receive triple from the loser's points. Roland chooses the trap switch battle, and the two begin dueling. As Ponta and Cota watch them duel, Cota can't help but feel even more bothered.

During the duel, Roland reveals he has already witnessed Haku's dark side, when Haku was previously battling against Tsubasa in another match. Both Roland and Haku continue insulting each other with aquatic crustacean metaphors and similes. Haku then begins venting about having to go on loop with the same battle format and hiding his wild side, to which Roland disagrees due to his own respect for Io. Unfortunately, Roland's Battle Star level of battling is uneven against Haku's Champion leveled skills, and he starts getting overwhelmed by the latter. Meanwhile, Cota tells Ponta that he finds Roland behaving differently than usual, and is uncertain whether Roland is enjoying the match at all.

Back to Roland and Haku, it turns out Haku not only switches side to B-DACT for their free Vital Sync perk, but to also send people into a frenzy for his own amusement. Before Roland can react, Haku manages to actually overpower him by shooting sideways to trigger several bottles. As Ryo rushes to check on Roland, Roland apologizes to his ally for being unable to fulfill his duty for BMA, before getting eliminated out of the battleground. With this, Haku subsequently gets triple the points for B-DACT. As this happens, Ryo vows to help Roland protect BMA.

While Mitsuya is frustrated by B-DACT's leverage and Haku's betrayal, Iroha wonders why Cota hasn't returned yet. Simultaneously, Ponta decides to finally and secretly enter himself into the competition. Ponta then tells Cota that what's right or wrong isn't about about a person's ideals, and that he like Cota used to think the same way. Unbeknownst to everyone, Ponta's admission for the competition seems to finally shock people over the fact that Citrus, the long-absent Bottle King, is returning. Cota wonders if Citrus will find the battle fun at all, so Ponta encourages Cota to participate, and even entices Cota with the promise of giving out his special rice ball recipes specifically just for him.

With one dramatic summoning of his partner Colamaru Energy DX and successfully shooting a bottle into a bin, Cota tells Ponta that he is ready to partake in the Bottle Royale.
