Gingka's group fights through Merci's booby-trapped castle, including a conveyor-belt trap, a giant Beyblade, and rival twins Dan and Reiki Sodo, whom Kyoya defeats alone. Madoka hacks Merci's systems while Gingka reaches Doji, refuses his offer to join Dark Nebula, and beats him in battle. The victory triggers the fully-revived Ryuga's awakening, which destroys part of the castle and reveals him as Gingka's true enemy.
