Picking up from last episode, Valt arrived just in time to battle. The first point went to Naoki as his Nova Neptune was able to avoid Victory Valkyrie. In a test of stamina, Naoki takes the point. It's because Nova Neptune has a trans driver and is able to switch between offence (attack-type) and endurance (stamina-type) mode.

In between matches, Naoki tries to provoke Valt, but the promise to meet Shu in the finals prevails!

The second match begins. To Naoki's surprise, Valt takes the next point with an over finish. The match is tied 1 to 1. In the final match, Valt wins with a burst finish!

Outside the stadium, a wobbly Jin Aizawa runs into the boys (literally!). Valt and the others don't know what to make of this unusual person, but Wakiya thinks he is out to get Shu.

That evening, Naoki puts into motion another dubius plan. He sends Valt a video of Jin's last battle. He then calls Valt to tell him that Jin uses dirty tricks to win, and Shu could be in trouble. Uh Oh!
