The Survival Battle continues, and it’s down to the wire with eight competitors remaining… Who will win?

When a crab-obsessed villain named Tetsuya Watarigani kidnaps Madoka, Gingka must battle him to save her.

In the first part of the finals, Ryuga builds a special arena for his match with Gingka. Gingka is winning until Ryuga mutates into a monstrous figure.

Gingka battles his long-lost nemesis, Ryuga… but his anger gets in the way of winning.

Kyoya and Ryuga meet in an intense semi-final battle. Kyoya is ahead until L-Drago takes over in a final explosion making it unclear if Kyoya will recover.

Kyoya comes across a calculating opponent Tobio, aka Captain Capri, whose moves appear erratic but not unstoppable by Kyoya.

The masked blader Phoenix is revealed to be Gingka’s Father, Ryo who explains he went into hiding to fight the Dark Nebula; Ryuga saps Doji of his energy making Ryuga more powerful.

Finally arriving in the village, Gingka is not there, but a wise, talking dog named Hokuto is. Gingka climbs a mountain to obtain a scroll that may have the key to his defeating Ryuga.

Gingka manages to defeat Reiji using a mirror to reflect his attacks back; Phoenix helps rescue Yu and defeats Doji in battle, only to reveal the two knew each other back in Koma Village.

Kyoya returns from Wolf Canyon and battles Benkei, destroying the warehouse they’re in.

Battle Bladers Semi-Finals pits Gingka against Reiji; Doji takes Yu away so Hyoma and Kenta go to the Dark Nebula to save him.

Newcomer Gingka saves Kenta from the Face Hunters but then is challenged to a one hundred to one battle.

After a fierce battle with Ryuga, Tsubasa is eliminated from Battle Bladers; Ryuga issues a challenge to Gingka who readily accepts.
