They are finally ready, "Go Shoot!" and begin the battle. Zero commands Samurai Ifraid to get some hits at Shinobu's bey, Shinobi Saramanda.

Shinobu continues to play and toy with Zero and his Samurai Ifraid, making Zero even more furious and desperate to find a way. Zero then commands Ifraid to strike a direct hit at Saramanda, yet it too, is futile when Saramanda dodges. Zero seems to have had enough and won't take it any longer, so he has Ifraid attack once more, yet Shinobi Saramanda dodged again and throws Samurai Ifraid up into the air. Zero uses this as his advantage as he begins his special move, Shooting Star Crash. Samurai Ifraid uses this and strikes downward, aiming to knockout Shinobi Saramanda.

He is respective towards Shinobu's strength and power, but will need to be more powerful before he thinks he can take on the Invincible Salamander. He heads to a burger joint; which happens to be owned by Benkei Hanawa. As Zero enters, the owner, Benkei gives Zero a meal consisting of a triple-beef burger, side fries, and a beverage. Zero marvels at Benkei's generosity and eats the triple-beef burger, enjoying it so with delight. Mal then pops out of nowhere, eating some of Zero's fries, while startling Zero. Zero tells Benkei that he just had a battle with Shinobu Hiryūin, and is trembling at what to do. He wants to get stronger, but with the immerse power Shinobu holds, Zero doesn't think his luck will do him any good. Zero also tells that he wants to match the likes of No. 1 Blader, Gingka Hagane, and become the next No. 1. Benkei is skeptical at first, yet tells Zero that he himself knew of Gingka, as well as former Beyblade legend, Kyoya Tategami; who Zero appears to be unaware of. Kyoya was an old friend of Benkei, yet in a long time, Benkei hasn't seem him. Just then, Benkei tells Zero that he decided he will train Zero to become stronger than Shinobu and match the likes of Gingka Hagane. Zero is very thankful towards Benkei while Mal tells the two she will help as well. With two people to Zero, he'll do all he can to train to his fullest and become even stronger than before. « read less

In Zero's battles with Spike, he is undergoing the heat of the moment. Every moment that Spike hits the air in fury and craze, his Thief Zirago launches an attack onto Zero's Samurai Ifraid. Zero shows signs of losing it because he knows he must think fast or lose the fight. With a scorching aura of flames, the Blader of Fire commences his special move, Burning Upper. Samurai Ifraid's beast appears and it smashes Zirago with his blazing katana. Zirago undergoes a ricochet out of the Stadium, losing. Although Zero is quite pleased with himself with the outcome, Spike is rather, acceptante of it as he calls on to his fellow DNA member, Genjūrō. Announcing his defeat and his offer to challenge Zero, Genjūrō accepts as he gets on stage for the fight. He introduces himself to Zero along with his goal of being a member of DNA, intimating Zero. While Zero decides to begin this fight, Sakyo confronts him and tells Zero that he instead, will fight Genjūrō. Sakyo and Genjūrō "Go Shoot!" as the Dark Knight faces off with the Black Tortoise. As The Beyblades first begin to clash into combat, Genjūrō commands a special move which signals Bandid Genbull's beast to appear. Surprised by this, Sakyo does the same when Dark Knight Dragooon's comes in as well. Deciding he has enough of how it already is, he commands Dragooon to attack; which ultimately destroys Genbull with amazing ease of the Dragon Emperor himself. Not surprised by his victory, he tells Zero that he will be looking forward to battling with him and subsequently leaves to pursue other battles in the tournament. The day starts to turn darker as it becomes evening, just in time for the climax of Akuya and Eight's matches. With his Archer Gargole against Yoshio's Bandid Goreim, Yoshio goes in for the finishing blow with a final direct attack that defeats Gargole and Akuya for the win. Pirates Orojya tries to stand still but cannot for Begirados keeps "biting away" at the bey. All is said and done once Kira uses Begirado's special move, Iron Frail, when it delivers one of the most powerful hits of Beyblade, with Kira winning the fight. Eight collapses out of his reaction to the match where Kite comes in to comfort him. Though Eight feels weak that he cannot fight anymore, he tells Kite to win the match for both of them, so that he can feel the glory of winning that he could not in his fateful match. With Kite very saddened by his loss, he assures him that he will confront Kira and win as a condolence for the fight. Later one, the rest of the contenders rage on in the epic path to Neo Battle Bladers. Soon enough, the stages becomes set as Blader Gai is ready to announce the final eight contenders of Neo Battle Bladers. The announces are: Kite, Shinobu, Sakyo, Zero, Kira, Yoshio, Takanosuke, and lastly, the unknown Blader, "Captain Arrow". Much to Ren's dismay at how she did not enter the championship however, these final eight will face off to become the winner of Neo Battle Bladers... « read less

In the second part of the quarter-finals comes the awaited match between Sakyo Kuroyami and Captain Arrow. While both Bladers move to their respective Zero-G Stadium platforms, Captain Arrow introduces himself. With his own Beyblade, Archer Wyvang 145WB, Arrow intends to easily win this battle after he reveals at how he is also a DNA Blader. This startles Tsubasa, Madoka and Benkei who are affiliated with the WBBA, the enemies of DNA. Knowing that they need Sakyo to defeat the new DNA representative, both Bladers "Go Shoot!" and launch their Beyblades. Dark Knight Dragooon is already receiving barrage attacks by Archer Wyvang, while Sakyo remains as calm as ever. More smashes originate here and there that it seems that Arrow has already figured out the path to victory. This is evident when he already unleashes his special move, "Arrow Tornado". An immediate torando of wind bursts out and throws Dragooon away, despite Benkei's comments that Kyoya had made better tornados in his days. Sakyo however reveals that he never really was trying all along and immiedately his focus shifts to turning the tables. Commanding Dragooon to recover from the special move, he has it dash all towards Archer Wyvang. With the beast of Dragooon coming together and tackle the tornado. Subsequently Dark Knight Dragooon goes under Archer Wyvang and flips the latter to have it thrown to the other side of the Stadium. A small hole is created as a result and falls through it to give Sakyo and Dragooon the win. Blader Gai announces Sakyo's victory alongside the audience cheering as well. Although Tsubasa, Madoka, and Benkei are quite relieved that another DNA Blader has been taken down from thr tournament, Selen of DNA is quite angered by the result. Ian shares his concerns as well yet Argo remains very a cosmpoloite, knowing that everything shall come together in due time. Blader Gai then announces the last match of the quarter-finals that will then culminate into the "Best 4". The battle will be compromised as Zero Kurogane versus Takanosuke Shishiya. Zero and Takanosuke are quite happy that they will be facing each-other, both who have been in the best of training to fight. The launch of their Beyblades comes in as Samurai Ifraid faces against Archer Gryph. Ifraid and Gryph share their first signs of contact that already give off harsh recoil. They do not despair and are still keeping their focus on the Beyblades when Archer Gryph barrages Samurai Ifraid, similar to Sakyo and Arrow's fight. Zero obtains scruples as a result as Ifraid just sits there helplessly being ravaged by the griffon. With his dogged attempt to meet his idol in the form of Gingka Hagane, Zero will not stand down by any means. To keep with this he activates his signature move, Burning Upper. The katana-weidling ifrit bursts out simulatenously when Samurai Ifraid emits a blazing aura. Takanosuke is distraught when Zero has his Beyblade smack Archer Gryph to the other side of the Zero-G Stadium. Takanosuke, undergoing a distraught that leads him to believe that he has ran out of luck. Feeling week, uneasy and helpless, Takanosuke seeks retribution when his crys call out on getting Gryph to stand together. His cries become the fuel for his Beyblade when it relives itself from Ifraid's special move and heads back into the battlefield. Everyone, Zero, including the audience were surprised by how quick Takanosuke recovered from that potential move that would have costed him the win. Now that both opponents are more serious than ever, Samurai Ifraid and Archer Gryph clash in an epic battle charged by their owner's determination. Both acknowledge only onw can win, both fight to their full potential and both are beginning to lose it. The Bladers shout out for more cries and the calling out of their Bey's names. Takanosuke powers it even further when he launches a special move that he obtained from his fierce training with his companion, Sakyo. Creating a violet triangle, he summons the beast of Archer Gryph as it fights with Samurai Ifraid. Zero tries to counter this by using Burning Upper again, where the ifrit and the griffon go at it in one last clash. Just as this happens, an immediate explosion of light comes out and when the mist clears, Samurai Ifraid is left in spin while Archer Gryph had succumb to an out-spin. Everyone in Neo Battle Bladers is shocked at these results as Blader Gai announces how Zero has made it to the semi-finals and is officially, part of the Best 4. While Zero cheers in victory for his completion of the fight, Takanosuke is just irritated at himself for failing to impress Sakyo. Sakyo is just calm as he acknowledges the results with the climax of Neo Battle Bladers is soon to come... « read less

At the signal of "3... 2... 1... Go Shoot!", Zero Kurogane and Sakyo Kuroyami launch out their Beyblades to commence their semi-final match. As soon as Samurai Ifraid and Dark Knight Dragooon land in the Zero-G Stadium, Blader Gai notices how the two Beys are already delivering some hits. A marathon of barrages are followed as Ifraid knocks away Dragooon with a powerful blow but Dragooon returns to deliver the same exact hit that befalls upon Ifraid. Zero intends to fight to his fiercest in this battle, commanding Ifraid to barrage-smash Dragooon, whilst Sakyo copies this command. Ifraid and Dragooon are locked in combat, presenting extraordinary smashes and smacks to each-other in this battle. Spectating from the sidelines, Takanosuke cheers on Sakyo while Kite, Eight, Ren, and Mal do the same for Zero, instead. The battle becomes more exciting with each second that passes when Sakyo brings an interesting take to the battle. Dark Knight Dragooon speeds to the top of the Stadium and then comes running down to hit Samurai Ifraid, sending it flying from the Stadium. The crowd is surprised by this until Zero manages to have his Ifraid comes crashing down in an enormous impact, but safe from a possible knock-out. This surprises Sakyo as well, and Zero decides to follow this up with his special move, Burning Upper. Harboring a blazing presence, Samurai Ifraid spins at high speeds to collide with Dragooon. When this collision occurs, a massive explosion escapes and affects the whole arena; with massively powerful winds that follow suit. Despite this, Sakyo is able to have Dragooon survive the assault. While the Beys begin barraging each-other once more, vortexes of winds follow through with every collision, as announced by Blader Gai. After a few more attacks, Zero plans to gain impending speed for Ifraid and allows Ifraid to circle the Stadium to do so. To counter Zero's attempt, Sakyo has Dragooon circle the Stadium but spins in a path that is greater than that of Ifraid's. With the Right-Spin Ifraid gaining speed, the Left-Spin Dragooon has foiled its plan as Dragooon begins interfering with Ifraid's circle-spin with hits, thus disrupting it and keeping it off of balance. As a result, the two forces of the two Beys' speeding has caused the Zero-G Stadium to stay flat and remove the constant swaying, something noticed by Gai. While the two Beyblades battle it out, Benkei, Tsubasa, and Madoka spectate. Madoka is given fears of the battle, seeing as how Sakyo is quite powerful and that Zero just may not win this fight. Tsubasa however, quickly defeats her doubts when he reminds her that Zero's hot-blooded personality and burning passion to meet Gingka Hagane will save them. Zero is a very powerful Blader, Sakyo is as well but Tsubasa believes that Zero still has a chance to claim victory in this battle, some evidence supported by how Zero has yet to have obtained a loss in Neo Battle Bladers. As Zero and Sakyo duke it out in the BeyStadium, very reminiscent to the match Gingka and Ryuga had seven years ago in the same place at the same time in the original Battle Bladers. With Tsubasa's condolences, Madoka is relieved to have a renewed hope in Zero. Still watching the battle, Kite, Eight, Ren, and Mal continue to express their cheers for Zero. With every Blader giving the most confident cheers to their friend, Zero is able to have heard them and takes some time to shift his focus from the current battle, to his friends. Surprised, Zero is reminded by how his friends are there and are cheering for him to win the fight. Moved by this, Zero takes some moments to himself to remember the bonds he has had with his friends. From meeting Shinobu in their first battle, to the Synchrom battle of Eight and Kite and even the training to defeat Yoshio with Shinobu and Ren. Zero remembers how glad he is to have his friends with him and still there to cheer him in his battle, which greatly moved Zero. Upon this, Zero shares a short talk with his opponent. He tells Sakyo that the bonds that he holds with his friends is keeping him from giving up, something that he never fails to achieve. All of these bonds that are held with this friendships allows him to never hold back and go past his limit to fight in even the most dreadful of fights. He tells Sakyo that he has made a mistake to not have anyone with him, instead only thinking that he could fight without the use of friends and that he shows no need for them. Putting the spotlight on Takanosuke, Zero tells Sakyo that his true friend is Takanosuke, a person who cares about Sakyo in the same way he should to Takanosuke. All along, Sakyo has just had Takanosuke as nothing more than a "Synchrom partner", just an aid to help in his training and victories. Zero tells Sakyo that he should be grateful for having a confidant in the form of Takanosuke and that the bond with him is the only strength that he may use to fight in this battle. While Sakyo seems moved by Zero's words, Zero decides to end this battle with a bang when he uses Burning Upper again. Aiming to defeat finally defeat Sakyo after their previous battle, Samurai Ifraid is headed towards Dark Knight Dragooon. Despite this, Sakyo shows an aura of a red-like darkness that escapes his eyes to have a raging power of darkness burst out and for use with Dragooon to enslave the Samurai Ifraid. With a burst of ultimate power held by Sakyo, and the hot-blazing action of Zero, Dark Knight Dragooon and Samurai Ifraid come close to their last collision. Immediately, a powerful explosion is let out of the BeyStadium that goes on to create extremely, high wind patterns that force the audience and spectators to cover themselves and hold on from the blow. With giant clouds of dust that are created in response to the explosion, the mist begins to clear to show a shocking scenario. The giant blow held by Ifriad and Dragooon caused the Zero-G Stadium to explode within itself, with the Zero-G Stadium destroyed to giant pieces. The remains are just shattered markings of glass that have fallen to the hard ground, and reveals a Samurai Ifraid that remains in spin. Shocking everybody, including Sakyo; he is confused as to the whereabouts of his Beyblade, but he gets his answer when he finds Dark Knight Dragooon sent out of the Stadium to have become stuck to placing on a wall but to eventually come crashing down on the BeyStadium floor; Dark Knight Dragooon is now out-of-spin and has lost the battle with Samurai Ifraid. Gai excitedly announces the outcome of the match, with Zero and Samurai Ifraid as the winner of the first match of the semi-finals in Neo Battle Bladers, which fortunately for Zero, allows him to advance to the last round of Neo Battle Bladers: the finals. While Zero is happily excited by his victory, having the audience and his friends cheering for him, with the latter glad for the outcome, Sakyo is quite the opposite. Depressed about his loss, Sakyo comes down from the Zero-G platform and begins exiting it. Takanosuke, sad about Sakyo's loss, rushes out of the audience and dashes to Sakyo. There, Sakyo notices Takanosuke with him while Takanosuke asks if Sakyo is alright. Sakyo, tells Takanosuke that he does not care any much more for the battle but was able to discover something greater, and that was the realization that he had a friend, Takanosuke. Takanosuke is moved by Sakyo's words and is happy to see that Sakyo knows who his true friend is. Now treating him more than just a Synchrom partner, Sakyo now asks rather than commands Takanosuke to come with him, asking him to follow him to commit to some other training, but as friends. Happy at this, Takanosuke eagerly follows Sakyo to their next destination, albeit that Sakyo has left without Dark Knight Dragooon. Zero on the other hand, is shouting out at Shinobu, stating that he has won his match and it is not time for Shinobu to win his. Accepting his friend's words, Shinobu promises to battle at his best in his fight with Kira Hayama, in the second and last part of the semi-finals of Neo Battle Bladers. « read less

Blader Gai offers another recap in the form of the recent match between Shinobu and Kira which resulted in not only wrecking the whole Zero-G Stadium, but Kira winning with his unexpected but new beyblade, Gladiator Bahamdia. This allowed Kira to advance to the finals of the tournament in which he will face off with the Blader of Fire, Zero of whom, was able to advance upon defeating Sakyo. The match is expected to be held the next day as blimps fly throughout Metal Bey City to inform everyone of this historic event. A certain individual however, catches the glimpse of Gai as he stares in content to the announcement. Over at DNA however, Team Garcias could be less than excited when they have called for a confrontation with their most powerful member, Kira Hayama. Upon his recent victory over the Invincible Salamander, Kira happened to wield a Beyblade other than Berserker Begirados: the Dragon-Killer and the strongest Stamina-Type in existence. When Kira used a different Bey in the form of Bahamdia, it shocked them as to concern as to why Kira was not using it and demanded a reason why. Kira, acknowledging Begirados, scoffs and smirks at it as he explains to them that he threw Begirados away. Kira was in search for something "more", something that offered something else than just being the best in Stamina, something that would satisfy his needs. The Garcias however are shocked to hear these words coming out from Kira, knowing that it had always been planned for Kira to use Berserker Begirados and nothing else, and the arrival of a new Bey completely destroys their had-been plan; even Yoshio and Merci side with Kira, something that not only alarms the Garcias but commands the remaining DNA Bladers to assault Kira. Spike, Genjūrō, and Captain Arrow subsequently appear to launch Thief Zirago, Bandid Genbull, and Archer Wyvang at Kira. Despite this sudden three versus one match, Kira is not shocked when he launches out Gladiator Bahamdia with almost no skill that allows this one Bey to single-handily oppress the three. When Girago, Genbull and Wyvang fall down and lose-spin, their three owners are thrown back in response to the collision with Team Garcias thrown back as well. The God returns to Kira's hands as Argo is very frustrated and irritated at what Kira has done to them, something that Kira does not feel remorse for as he is prepared for the climax of Neo Battle Bladers. Elsewhere, Tsubasa and Madoka study Gladiator Bahamdia's parts at the WBBA, very concerned over the power that it was holding when it wrecked havoc upon Shinobu and Shinobi Saramanda. They are then given a video-call by Mal via her laptop to tell them about the effects of the battle on Shinobu. After the demolition of the Zero-G Stadium, Shinobu fell off and was heavily harmed. He had to be hospitalized which he is right at the moment and things do not seem to be looking very good for him. Shocked by this, Tsubasa and Madoka share their condolences toward Shinobu as Mal does the same, she also does announce at how Zero has left in anger to a shipyard, enraged over Kira's win over Shinobu. As well as alarming them, Tsubasa holds his dear wishes that Zero is doing alright over it and the video-call subsequently ends. At the shipyard however, Zero is shown in one of the most enraged moments of his life. Undergoing extensive and harsher training than the wrecking ball with Benkei, Zero has his Samurai Ifraid to bring full-blown collisions to various metal obstructions left on the shipyard. With every blow and collision that Ifraid inflicts, Zero only blooms with a hated anger when his temper becomes too high that the scorching aura of him rages to a very powerful point. As Zero continues his marathon of anger, the Unabara brothers watch in contempt and their utter-most concern for their friend. They see how Zero is pushing himself to the limits in order to defeat Kira and even the thought of Kira adds much, more anger to Zero that he cannot control it and can only let it out with this collision-course he is driving. With much, more clashes that Ifraid undergoes, Zero goes full-throttle on the next one when Samurai Ifraid heads toward the next objective but an outside force clashes in with the bey to bring about another collision. Quickly alarmed, Zero seems to have calmed down his forceful rage when his Ifraid returns to his hand and he finds an individual standing at the top of a cliff. Shocked, Zero sees the individual jump off and land swiftly on the ground, bringing the return of the great Blader, the Blader of the Season of Autumn, the No. 1 Blader in the World: Gingka Hagane. Gingka walks up to Zero when he tells him of how he was spectating Zero's match and discovers at how is he going up against Kira in the finals of Neo Battle Bladers, also introducing his beyblade, the God in the form of Samurai Pegasis. While Zero is just speechless at the thought of actually talking to his idol, Gingka also tells him that he remembers giving Zero his beyblade, Samurai Ifraid when he was a young boy, which also causes Zero to remember. Gingka declares that he finds Zero to be a very powerful opponent and that he would like to duel him so that he could receive more training prior to his upcoming match. Accepting this, Zero brings Gingka to a hole obstruction that he made in the shipyard in response to his anger over Kira's win against Shinobu. At the count of "Go Shoot!", Zero's Samurai Ifraid is launched to combat Gingka Hagane's Samurai PegasisF. When the beyblades make contact, immediate explosions arise in response to much of the surprise at Zero. Knowing to give it his all, Zero has his Ifraid continue to battle when more explosions appear. As much of the mist clears, he finds that Ifraid and Pegasis have been pushed to a barrier; both showing equally powerful force which does not allow either beyblade to move past one-another. As the Beys continue fighting, with Zero's huge force of power, the Beys bring about another explosions that this time, throws back Zero after the collision to have him knocked out. Zero finds himself brought to the middle of a galaxy as he is floating and meets Gingka there as well. Zero is entranced at the moment, the beauty of it all and how he is actually battling his idol. With the red aura that Samurai Ifraid leaves out, and the blue aura that Samurai Pegasis leaves out, the two auras clash each-other in combat that brings forceful blows to each-other. Gingka tells Zero that he admires Zero's ambition to not be the No. 1 Blader in the World, but to care for his friends and do what is right and defeat Kira. With Zero's friends, Shinobu, Mal, Eight, Kite, Ren, Takanosuke and Sakyo; all these people that Zero has met throughout his life, he shares a bond with them that allows him to reach anything. Gingka tells Zero that he always hated to lose, but the bonds that he shared with his own friends allows him to go past the limits and reach it. Amazed by this, the two beyblades continue the clash when Gingka announces to Zero that he shall give Zero all of his "power" so that he may win against Kira the next day. Surprised, Zero finds the colourful bonds speeding from Gingka and heading toward Zero. As the bonds continue to come, the entranced moment ends. Zero finds himself awake and how the dusk of night has turned to day. He finds that Gingka has disappeared and takes a look at Ifraid. He stands up to find a blimp of Gai's announcement of the final match between he and Kira. Zero is now ready. « read less

The last match of Neo Battle Bladers pits the fateful brawl between Zyro and Kira. As the battle continues, Zyro is caught off by surprise from the tremendous power of Kira's Gladiator Bahamdia. Bahamdia is showing powerful moves against Zyro's Samurai Ifraid. As the audience looks in with awe and cheer, they watch every second of this enticing battle. As the two Beyblades continue to clash in an epic combat, Zyro is frustrated when Bahamdia is showing incredible power that seems to become too much for Ifraid to handle. As the Zero-G Stadium continues to sway and rock at every second, and combined with the powerful winds that were created and emitted by Bahamdia, it seems as if Zyro does not have a way to get out of this predicament. It only gets worse when Kira builds up the moment to use his special move, Gladiator Demolition. Just like in Kira's battle with Shinobu, the beast of Gladiator Bahamadia returns to wreck havoc once again on his opponent and the Zero-G Stadium. A heavy rocking causes incredible force to occur to the Zero-G Stadium with the bladers' platforms as well. Zyro attempts to hold on to the difficult shaking of the destruction when smoke created by explosions escape into the air. The shaking and thrusting of the demolition is like that of an earthquake, and an explosion covers the view-point to make it impossible to decipher what is the outcome. As a result, Mal, Kite, Eight, and Ren stand from their seats in fear in response to Kira's special move. Not wanting to see their friend hurt or lose the battle, they are relived because once the smoke clears, they find Gladiator Bahamdia spinning with Samurai Ifraid. Kira is shocked by this as well, seeing as how nobody could survive what is believed to be the ultimate special move in history, even if Shinobu was the only one to witness it, first-hand. Although he is alarmed, Kira does not hesitate to have Bahamdia continue to attack Samurai Ifraid of which, in turn, holds its ground from the commands of its owner, Zyro. Zyro tries his best to survive every hit fro, Bahamdia, especially when the whole Zero-G Stadium is wrecked to a complete re haul, leaving only the same status of destructive nature from Shinobu's last match. Bahamdia and Ifraid continue to duke it out in the BeyStadium, giving it their all as they fight to their maximum. Zyro knows that he cannot give up, not now, especially when he was able to survive through Kira'a assault with Bahamdia. Zyro's hope and reassurance still remains, even when Bahamdia still seems to have the upper hand and continues to wipe the floor with Ifraid, knocking it into the air with all of its might; Ifraid is helpless. Just to make matters worse, Kira uses Gladiator Demolition again in order to finish the match off, once and for all. When the Beast of Gladiator Bahamdia returns, it rushes into Samurai Ifraid and in an instant, smacks it high-up into the air, thrown away into the clouds. The whole audience and every spectator is shocked. While the match is not over yet, the odds seem to be against Zyro. Zyro does not care at all. Zyro remembers that fateful encounter that he had with the great blader, Gingka Hagane, yesterday. From their match that took them to the cosmos, the preach of the blader's spirit still remained. A force that does not depend on the strength of the beyblade itself, but the heart and soul of its Blader. The bonds of friendship empower these forces, causing entrusted emotions to shine bright. Zyro holds bonds that are kept with his best friends, a lesson that was taught to him by Gingka. Zyro takes a stance to ignore what everyone else and Kira thinks about the outcome and possibility of Zyro's loss in this battle. Zyro uses Gingka's speech to preach on the powerful force that is the blader's spirit. Depending on the bonds that one holds with their friends, it allows them to defy the odds and go beyond what could not be beyond. It is the scared ideal that helps bladers in their most difficult of obstacles, just to let them reach what could not be. Samurai Ifraid is revealed to be rushing down from its throw by the hands of Gladiator Bahamdia, ready to return the favour in an epic clash of mass proportions. Only this time Samurai Ifraid is not alone. The beasts of Shinobi Saramanda, Theif Phoenic, Pirates Orojya, and Guardian Revizer team-up with their friend to create a new special move. This bond creates the ultimate special move, Burning Tornado Fire, and it goes far beyond of Gladiator Demolition. When Kira commands Gladiator Bahamdia to create a shield of dark energy to protect it, it is still no nothing when Samurai Ifraid makes contact with Bahamdia and creates one of the biggest explosions ever known. The audience shields themselves from the force of the battle, as Zyro and Kira continue their final battle. When the explosion causes the mist to disappear, Samurai Ifraid is grinding at the top on Gladiator Bahamdia, causing it to stop spinning. Zyro is the champion of Neo Battle Bladers and becomes the new "No. 1 Blader in Japan". When a moment of silence appears, the audience bursts out in total joy when Blader Gai announces the news. Kira smacks his fist into the ground in anger, frustrated by the result but he walks away with Yoshio. Shinobu had watched the whole scene as well, being carried by Benkei to see Zyro in the fight. Zyro's friends later run towards Zyro to congratulate him on his victory. As Mal hugs Zyro, everyone rejoices in glee and happiness with Zyro winning. Nobody could have been happier in this moment, but Zyro takes a look back at Kira and dashes towards him. Zyro offers Kira the chance to become friends, especially after the epic battle that was taken between them; not wanting their to be any loose ties between the two. Despite this, Kira's attitude and true colours still show when he rejects Zyro's statement and walks away with Yoshio. While disappointing and confusing Zyro at the same time, he is approached by his friends to tell him not to worry about it, anyway. Tsubasa, the head of the WBBA even goes on to announce the outcome with Zyro as the new victor; whilst also letting out details about a new "world championship" to take place, soon after. Zyro is sure that he and his friends will embark together on a world championship, should they. As time passes from the final battle, things start to change. Sakyo and Takanosuke have left as spectators to do some training with their Beyblades in preparation for the next world championship, hoping to take part in it. Benkei later starts a new "training program", due to his success of training of Zyro who as a result, became the No. 1 Blader in Japan. Two Benkei's newest recruits are Gen and Akuya who are lifting weight with buckets. Zyro and Shinobu are at Bey Park and the two are about to battle. The two take a stance to yell out the legendary chant, about to launch Samurai Ifraid and Shinobi Saramanda. "3... 2... 1... Go Shoot!" thus the conclusion to Shogun Steel. « read less
