A weakened Benkei begs Gingka to fight Kyoya and restore his rival's spirit. In a storm-wracked arena, Kyoya's tornado-wielding Leone dominates until Gingka hears Leone crying over its blader's corruption; fueled by friends cheering him on, he awakens the new move Meteor Shower Attack to win. Kyoya returns to himself, and Doji arrives to needle a furious Gingka once more.
