| 01 | "Meeting With a Small Machine" "Chiisa na Mashin to no Deai" (小さなマシンとの出会い) | March 2, 2011[1] |
| The year is 2050, and little fighting robots known as LBX are all the craze. A tournament known is Artemis is held to determine whom the best fighter is. This year Yamano Ban, Aoshima Kazuya, and Kawamura Ami are in the tournament with their LBX's. After the trio pulls off a shocking victory in the first round Ban thinks back to how he met his robot earlier that year. Ban has loved LBX's all his life. His father created them and early on showed Ban how to love and care for them. However his father went missing 8 years earlier when Plane PA027 went missing on its way to the Neo Technology Summit. No wreckage was ever found, but Ban's mom has not allowed him to play with an LBX since then at home. It all changes when a mysterious lady breaks out of the Innovator base and finds Ban, She gives him a case that he takes home. When Ban opens the case at home he finds a LBX inside. Before he can activate it a laser scans him. Outside 3 Innovator spies reveal this LBX has a Death Lock inside it and if an uncertified user picks it up it will kill that person with a poisonous dart. Ban ends up being the certified user, so the three spies attack him with their Dequoo LBX's. Ban is chased behind the couch by a Dequoo with a gun, and the other two attempt to chop up his LBX until he gets it activated. Once activated Ban is able to dispose of the three Dequoo's, but it leaves the entertainment room in shambles. His mom arrives home and says it is ok for him to keep the LBX, but first he needs to clean the room up. She then goes outside and thinks to herself that something big is about to happen. | ||
| 02 | "The Lost Achilles" "Ubawareta Akiresu" (奪われたアキレス) | March 9, 2011[1] |
| Ban takes the AX-00 to the Kitajima Model Shop where he meets with Ami. He tells Kitijama, Saki, and Ami the story of how he got the LBX. At the Innovators base Yagami finds out why the Professor sent Ban the LBX. He learns AX-00 is protecting an item known as the Platinum Capsule. If anyone other than Ban were to try and grab AX-00, not only would they die from the poisonous dart, but the death lock system would also self destruct and destroy the Platinum Capsule. The only way to regain this would be by defeating AX-00 in a LBX battle. Over at Tiny Orbit the board asks the director Uzaki Yuusuke why he built the unauthorized Achilles form. He reveals the specs and points out that this design is more advanced than anything they've ever had before, and it will make them millions. He goes back to his office where he receives another blueprint for a LBX to be called Hunter. He signs his name J. Back at Kitajima's Kitajima decides to give Ban the Achilles armor, but he is disappointed to learn that Saki has sold it, until he learns the cash card is fake. If Ban can find Gouda Honza and defeat him he can use the Achilles armor for free. Ban heads to school with Ami and shows Kazu his new LBX. He then asks Kazu if he knows anything about Gouda. Kazu reveals Gouda uses a LBX known as the Destruction God of Hell and he is one of the Four Devas. Kazu refuses to tell them where Gouda is and leaves before ban can pressure him into giving up more details. After school Ban and Ami recruit the help of Ryuu and go looking for Gouda's base. Mika ends up telling them where it is. Once they arrive at the base Ban, Amy, and Ryuu meet the other three Divas and their LBX's- Riko with Queen, Tetsuo with Nazu, and Ginji with Mad Dog. The trio refuse to give up Gouda's location unless these 3 can beat them in a LBX battle. When AX-00 begins predicting his opponents moves Ban gains a slight advantage. That advantage quickly fails with Ryuu's Buld is destroyed by Queen's gun fire and rockets. Ryuu withdraws, and just before AX-00 is destroyed Kazu makes the save with Warrior. With Kazu's added strength Ban is able to destroy the three LBX's, with an assist from a magnetic charge by Warrior. After repairing their LBX's the three enter a nearby door and meet Gouda face-to-face. | ||
| 03 | "Hell's Destroyer" "Jigoku no Hakaishin" (地獄の破壊神) | March 16, 2011[2] |
| Gouda returns the Achilles frame to Ban and reveals he was told to take it to keep it out of the hands of dangerous organizations on unsmart kids. He then challenges Ban, Kazu, and Ami to a 3-on-1 battle against his Hakai-O, AKA the Destruction God of Hell. Kunoichi is customized for speed while Warrior and Achilles are customized for short distance shooting. The three also come up with a strategy to take down Hakai-O using hit-and-run tactics. The plan backfires on them when Hakai-O uses his Gaou Cannon to create a smokescreen. Hakai-O then moves in on Warrior and crushes him. The second time Hakai-O uses his Gaou cannon Kazu realizes that Hakai-O temporarily goes offline because of the amount of power that it uses. After the third attack he tells Ban and Ami the news, and on the fourth attack Ban is able to grab Warrior's gun and take out the Gaou Cannon before moving in and knocking him out of commission. Gouda keeps his word and lets them keep the Achilles frame. At the Innovators headquarters Yagami is on the phone and tells them not to worry about Achilles being completed. He has come up with a plan to destroy Achilles in a LBX battle, and he creates a new dangerous LBX to do the dirty work. | ||
| 04 | "The Cursed Golden Knight" "Norowareta Ōgon no Kishi" (呪われた黄金の騎士) | March 16, 2011[2] |
| The episode begins at the Blue Cat coffee shop where two men are discussing Ban and Achilles. These men seem to want to use Achilles for a secret mission, but they do not know if Ban will be ready yet. Ban rushes to school after being unable to get sleep the night before. Him and Ami agree to battle at Kitajima's after school, but first they want to check on Kazu and see if he has gotten over his LBX being destroyed. Ryu ends up claiming he is the one who defeated Gouda and gets hero worship from all the kids, but his speech backfires on him and forces him to hide after school when they ask him to defeat Gouda and get their LBX's back from them. Over at the Innovators base Yagami has finished construction on a new LBX that he believes will win him the Platinum Capsule. He dispatches a task force to make sure it can target Achilles. Ban and Ami head to Kitajima's and find Kazu is not there. Kazu is at a nearby mall reading the newest LBX magazine and wishing he had enough allowance to buy a new LBX. A man in a dark alleyway offers to sale him a LBX real cheap and presents to him Egypt. Egypt hypnotizes Kazu and tells him to destroy Achilles. Kazu leaves the shop table, and the man selling the LBX's is revealed to be one of the Innovator agents. Kazu finds Ban and Ami after Ban has left Kitajima's and challenges him to a battle. Kazu throws out a D-cube and Egypt. the D-cube brings up a desert setting. The Innovators agents watch the match from across the river while one of the men from Blue Cat's watches from the roadway. They see Achilles is slow to move in the sand, giving Egypt a huge advantage, but before Egypt can destroy Achilles a special mode, V-Mode is activated. The one thing Ban does not like- when Achilles is in V Mode he cannot control him. Achilles destroys Egypt and breaks Kazu out of the hypnosis. The agents retreat while the man marvels that Achilles has such a special mode on hand. Afterwards the trio return to Kitajima's where Kitajima has customized a Gladiator for Kazu to use until Kazu can buy a new LBX. | ||
| 05 | "The Dark Assassin" "Yami no Ansatsusha" (闇の暗殺者) | March 23, 2011[2] |
| Dr. Kaidō hopes to eliminate the prime minister Zaizen Sousuke. In order to do so he hires a professional hit man and creates a new LBX known as Assassin for him to use. The hit man shows he has incredible aim in an exhibition and proves he can take a target out from a long distance. Over at Blue Cats coffee Hizami learns of the assassination attempt. He is given a letter that says use the kids with the white LBX to prevent the attack. He is also given a new LBX to help in the mission. Hizami sends Uzaki Takuya to get Ban, Ami, and Kazu from Kitajima's. He takes them back to Blue Cat's where they show the kids the new LBX Hunter and praise Achilles maintenance. Takuya then reveals he did not get them just to show them the new LBX. Instead he hopes they'll help prevent the assassination. If they agree Kazu will be given Hunter at no charge. The kids agree and head home to practice. Kazu focuses specifically on his long range shooting, but despite calibrating the gun and doing some maintenance to Hunter he cannot seem to hit the bullseye. The next day Kazu thinks of pulling out until Ban gives a speech reminding him how LBX's should be fun but that they an lose them all if this attack succeeds. Kazu agrees to go if he can practice some more first, but when they enter Blue Cat's Hizami receives a call saying Zaizen Sousuke's induction parade has been moved up. If they do not leave now there will be no way to stop the attack. The group reluctantly leaves wishing only that they had more time. | ||
| 06 | "Showdown: Sniper vs. Sniper" "Taiketsu Sogekishu VS Sogekishu" (対決 狙撃手VS狙撃手) | April 6, 2011[2] |
| The group arrives at the route where Prime Minister Zaizen's parade will take place. Kazu spends a few minutes recalibrating Hunter's sniping gun while Ban and Ami investigate the beginning and middle of the route. Ban learns there is a glass building at the middle of the route, and Ami and Kazu are dispatched to his location. Kazu uses Hunter to scan the building on the other side of the glass, and they find what appears to be Assassin. The three infiltrate the building and run into the 3 Dequoo's that tried to kidnap Achilles in episode 1. Achilles and Kunoichi distract the Buld's while Kazu and Hunter run up the building and take out Assassin. Only when they arrive they find out Assassin is a dummy. After destroying the Dequoo's Ami and Ban go up, and Ban sees another building nearby with a helipad on it. Once again Kazu uses Hunter's sites to zoom in, and once again Assassin is present. In order for Ban and Ami to make it to the building in time Kazu must use Hunter's high aiming specs to distract Assassin. Kazu gets off three shots, two of which cause smoke and hit Assassin. Assassin retaliates by trying to take out Hunter, but Kazu is able to get him to safety. Amy and Ban make it to the building in time and use their speed to take out Assassin. With Assassin down the professional hit man activates Assassin's self destruct and leaves from another nearby building. As Ami, Ban, and Kazu reunite with Takuya Ban asks Takuya why it had to be them that did this mission. Seeing no other choice Takuya decides to reveal the shocking truth that Ban's father is still alive. | ||
| 07 | "My Name is "Innovator"" "Sono Na wa Inobētā" (その名はイノベーター) | April 13, 2011[3] |
| Takuya takes the kids back to Blue Cats where he reveals that the entire plane, except Professor Yamano, agreed to go with the Innovators 5 years earlier. Their goal was to create an endless supply of energy known as the Eternal Cycler. However Professor Yamano realized it could be used as a weapon and decided to hide the plans inside the Platinum Capsule. Ban asks Takuya and Hizami if they know where his father is being held at, and they say no. Ban and Kazu return home, but Ami stays behind to do a little snooping. Meanwhile Yagamai asks Doctor Kaidō if he was responsible for the Assassin incident since Assassin was made from their specs. With Kunoichi's recording mode she finds out Professor Yamano is being held at a place called Angel Star. Ryuu explains that Angel Star is owned by Kamiya Craft and that it is the largest weapon manufacture in Japan. He also tells them they have been investigated for making secret weapons, though he believes they are innocent. Ban, Kazu, and Ami decide to investigate the building anyway. At Angel Star we are introduced to Heiji Kirishima. Kirishima originally created the boxes that house the LBX battles, but he later lost the licensing right to Tiny Orbit. As a result he now works overtime almost daily for Kamiya Craft hoping to restart his business. Ban uses Achilles to hold the door open at Angel Star, and Ban, Ami, and Kazu enter the building. The cameras quickly catch them, and a squadron of Dequoo R LBX's are sent to try and stop them. Achilles, Hunter, and Kunoichi wipe out the Dequoo R's and continue to investigate further through the air ducts where they find a new security LBC named Inbit blocking the way. | ||
| 08 | "The Great Labyrinth, Angel Star" "Daimeikyū Enjeru Sutā" (大迷宮エンジェルスター) | April 20, 2011[3] |
| Ban, Ami, and Kazu run into Inbit in the air ducts. When Inbit refuses to follow them around the corner Ban realizes Inbit must be an AI LBX. Achilles and Kunoichi distract Inbit while Achilles takes out his camera lenses, allowing Ban and his friends to win the battle. Kamiya sees what Ban has done and decides to come up with a new strategy. He has Dequoo R's continue to distract Ban and his friends in the air ducts while he goes and gets Kirishima. He takes Kirishima out of the control, but not before having Yagami plant a false location for Professor Yamano in the control room. Kagami then tells Kirishima that Tiny Orbit has sent Achilles in to steal their most confidential data. He is promised if he can destroy Achilles that he will be given the finds to restart his company. In the control room Ban and his friends find a hidden elevator and take it to the lowest floor. Meanwhile Yagami goes to Professor Yamano's room and gets ready to move him. When Ban and his friends make it to the lowest floor they get locked in a secret manufacturing plant. Kirishima comes out controlling the deadly tractor known as The Steel Monster Ijitesu. Kirishima scares Ban and his friends enough where they must send out their LBX's. Kirishima gets one hit on Achilles and knocks his controls lose. Kirishima aims the tractor at Achilles with one goal, running over him to win back his company. | ||
| 09 | "The Steel Monster Ijiteus" "Kōtetsu no Kaibutsu Ijiteusu" (鋼鉄の怪物イジテウス) | April 27, 2011[3] |
| Achilles manages to dodge the Steel Monster before being run over. At Blue Cats Takuya and Hazami pull up computer readings and see that Achilles, Kunoichi, and Hunter are involved in battle. Takuya runs a computer scan and sees they are at Angel Star, so the two depart immediately to rescue them. The Steel Monster quickly shows how it got its name. The tractor is enforced with heavy armor that the LBX's cannot penetrate. It is also possessed with a laser eye system. Hunter accidentally shoots a cloth down over the camera of the Steel Monster, and Ban realizes that camera is the Achilles heel. The three change their targeting strategy to the camera, and when they take out the camera Kirishima switches to manual view. Manual view at least slows down the Steel Monsters response time. A mysterious silver colored LBX then appears. It distracts the Steel Monster and points out the large crate above it. Hunter switches his target to the crate, which comes down and crushes the Steel Monster. Kirishima escapes unharmed. Ban is then told over the Loud Speaker that Professor Yamano has been removed and the only way he can get more information is by winning Angrivisdas. An escape hatch opens revealing Hazami and Gouda. The two lead Ban, Ami, and Kazu out safely before taking them back to Blue Cats. Once back at Blue Cats Hazami reveal they are back to square one, though this time they really have no idea where he is being kept. | ||
| 10 | "The Mysterious Transfer Student, Jin Kaidō" "Nazo no Tenkōsei Kaidō Jin" (謎の転校生 海道ジン) | May 4, 2011[3] |
| Ryuu overhears his teacher and the principal saying an exchange student is coming in, so he runs and tells the entire class. When the teacher comes in and tries to take attendance Ryuu asks her about the exchange student. She admits they are supposed to get one that day, but he has not arrived yet. A jet fighter then flies up to the school. A boy climbs out of the jet fighter and into Ban's class. It is the exchange student. He introduces himself as Kaidō Jin and says he has nothing else to tell the class. When Ryuu asks him about LBX's later on he ignores him. Instead of trying to make friends Ban, Ami, and Kazu head for Blue Cats. Hazami tells them Angrivisdas is an unsanctioned tournament with no regulations. This year however the winner will receive permission to enter Artmeis, the contest that determines the best LBX player in the world. Takuya takes the group to a secret door in Blue Cats that leads down to Angrivisdas and lets them watch how the fights are. To their surprise none other than Jin is in the arena, and he easily crushes his competition. As he leaves the crowd yells that they hope his The Emperor gets crushed during Angrivisdas. Ban and his friends head to Kitijima's where Kitijima trains the three on increasing speed with a newly customized Gladiator. It takes a full week, but Ban is finally able to defeat Gladiator. As a reward Kitijima rewards Ban with the new Sigma D chip, a chip made to increase LBX's speed. As Ban and his friends prepare to leave none other than the Four Devas appear. They block Kitijima's shop entrance and have been told to take Ban and his friends to visit Gouda and to not take no for an answer. | ||
| 11 | "Magician in a Box" "Hako no Maka no Majutsushi" (箱の中の魔術師) | May 11, 2011[4] |
| While leading Ban and his friends to where Gouda is the Innovators agents ambush Ban and company. At first the group decides to walk away from them, but they tease him with the knowledge that they might know where his father is being held. Ban agrees to battle them, but they say they will only reveal where his father is being held if he can beat them 3-on-1. Ban and Achilles battle the Innovators Dequoo's. During the battle Ban learns his first finishing move, Lightning Lance, and is able to overpower them. The Innovators agents retreat without telling Ban anything, and the Four Devas remember how Gouda revealed to them that they would soon be fighting the Innovators. Afterwards the group goes into a nearby arcade where they find Gouda has lost in a LBX battle to one Sendou Daiki and his LBX Joker. Gouda is about to hand over all his territory to Daiki when he realizes there is a catch. Daiki can only claim Gouda's territory if he is the first one to defeat him. That honor went to Ban. Now the only way Daiki can claim the territory is by defeating Ban in battle. Ban and Achilles battle Daiki and Joker, but Ban relies to much on his finishing move, Lightning Lance. As a result Achilles is slow and cannot hit Joker. Daiki begins to use Joker's speed and causes what appears to be clones to appear. Before Joker can finish Achilles though the Emperor intervenes. Jin says they should finish their battle at Angrivisdas since they are both competing, and Daiki agrees. Ban is given a list of everyone competing in Angrivisdas by Gouda. He takes this list back to Kitijima's where Ami, Kazu, and Ban come up with strategies to defeat each competitor. As time runs out the group heads to Angrivisdas. Welcoming everyone to Angrivisdas is none other than the legendary LBX fighter Lex. Lex announces that each LBX battle will be unlimited regulation, meaning anything goes. When Lex finally turns toward Ban we see it is none other than Hazami. After the intro the tournament officially begins, and Ban meets his first opponent. | ||
| 12 | "The Dark Field: The Underground Viscidus" "Yami no Senjō Angurabishidasu" (闇の戦場 アングラビシダス) | May 18, 2011[4] |
| Angrivisdas begins and Ban battles Head Hunter Gatoh and his Buld. Gatoh seems to dominate the pace with his rocket launcher, forcing Ban to continually dodge and run around in circles. Eventually Kazu reminds Ban that he needs to turn the battle in his favor through pace. Ban charges straight at the Buld and begins getting in multiple hits. Gatoh decides to cheat and use a stun grenade. With Achilles stunned Gatoh breaks out an axe and chops at Achilles shield. The axe has gun powder hidden in it and sends Achilles flying. The shield falls to the side and allows Gatoh free access to Achilles right arm. He begins attacking Achilles right arm continually, hoping to chop it off. When stun wears off Achilles is able to dodge again, but he loses his right arm in the process. Once again Ban is forced to dodge, but while he's dodging he's moving in closer. Ban decides to use his shield to block one of Buld's missile launches, and in the process he learns Sword Cyclone. Achilles tosses his shield aside and picks up the sword. He uses sword cyclone and advances to the semifinals with the win, thanks to his second round opponents eliminating each other at the same time. Afterwards Kazu, Ami, and Jin all advance with victories. The quarterfinals begin and Kazu and Daiki advance, setting up a Daiki vs. Ban semifinal match. Afterwards Ami tries to move in quickly and strike Emperor in the legs, where she thinks he is vulnerable, but Jin dodges the attack and finishes off Kunoichi in one strike. | ||
| 13 | "Joker: The Attack of the Evil Clones" "Jōkā Ma no Bunshin Kōgeki" (ジョーカー 魔の分身攻撃) | May 25, 2011[4] |
| Gouda brings down his Haki-O's right arm and has Achilles use it during the semifinal match vs. Daiki. At first Daiki seems like he dodges every attack with ease. He quickly reveals that while Achilles has more strength with Hakai-O's arm, he has also left himself highly vulnerable because he is off balance. Ban tries to correct this by turning the lance into a battering club, but Daiki continues to have Joker dodge and cast his mirage again. With 3 Joker's on the field Ban begins to take hit after hit and seems to be losing with ease. Ban tries to create a smokescreen to see which Joker is real, but they still manage to come at him from two sides. Achilles gets knocked down to 25% power and once again enters V-Mode. With V-Mode active Achilles once again gains strength and begins to bludgeon the Joker's with ease. One of the hits reveals that there is not 1 Joker on the field. Instead there are three. However Ban cannot control V-Mode, Daiki realizes that V-Mode runs on a computer controlled AI attack pattern and begins to dodge the attacks and get hits on Achilles. Just then Ban receives a message from the stands. A man has appeared in the stands with the white LBX that saved them at Angel Star. The LBX's name is Pandora. It sends Ban a code, and Ban gains control of V-Mode. Takuya also sees the man and runs towards him, seemingly recognizing him from some other place. Despite Ban having gained control of V-Mode, his power has drifted to less than 10%. Joker only needs one hit to finish Achilles off. While still in V-Mode Ban remembers The Emperors beheading of 3 LBX's at one point in the arena and realizes he can use the same strategy. Achilles runs to a cliff wall that's a dead end. Daiki thinks it's so his LBX's will face Achilles one-on-one and sends them into the air so they can attack at one. Realizing his plan has worked Ban runs underneath the Joker's and releases a Lightning Lance when they are lined up as one. The Lightning Lance destroys all 3 Joker's and sends Ban to the finals, right as V-Mode wears off. After the match Ban asks Daiki is he was the spy, and Daiki says he works only for himself. Takuya arrives where the man was in the stands, but the man has disappeared. Takuya says he would not let this mystery man get in his way and ruin his plans. As Daiki leaves Gouda tells Ban good job but says he cannot fight in the finals that way. He supplies Ban with the right arm of Achilles, fully repaired. Up next Kazu faces Emperor and Jin in the second semi-final. Kazu realizes The Emperor has more speed and strength than him, so he gets distance and tries to take out The Emperor with long-range shots. The Emperor dodges the atacks and forces Kazu to use Hunter's Stinger Missile attack. The attack merely causes a smokescreen for The Emperor, and The Emperor gets one quick ax strike to the neck of Hunter finishing off Hunter. The final has been set. Ban will battle Jin for the right to move on to Artmeis as the champion of Angrivisdas. | ||
| 14 | "Play-Off: The Emperor" "Kessen Ji Enperā" (決戦 ジ・エンペラー) | June 1, 2011[4] |
| Ami realizes that since they did not know who the Innovators spy was, there was a good chance it was Jin. A recap of the fights and the LBX's being used in the final is shown. Then Jin and Ban get ready to begin their battle. Jin promises to tell Ban the coordinates of where his father is at if he can beat him. Ban does not waste anytime time. He attacks head on, but The Emperor dodges most of his attacks. Ban decides to use Lightning Lance to force The Emperor to attack. Once The Emperor jumps into the air Ban activates Achilles V-Mode and does some serious damage, or so he thinks. In reality The Emperor suffers about 20% damage, and Jin decides to reveal his true strength. The Emperors eyes go from black to white to a blood red. His speed increases, and no one can keep up with Jin's hand control movements. Ji nuses his finisher, Impact Kasier, to bury Achilles, but Achilles manage to dig his way out and starts blocking all of The Emperors hands on attacks. Jin continues to increase the speed of his commands, and it eventually burns out the control chip inside The Emperor. With The Emperor's functions ceased Ban and Achilles are declared the winners. Jin tells Ban Professor Yamano is located at coordinates 579-934. After everyone clears out the group returns to Blue Cats where Lex enters the coordinates and finds out it's the mansion of Kaidō Yoshmitsu. Takuya reveals that Yoshimitsu is the head of the Innovators, but no one is sure how they can infiltrate until the mysterious woman from episode 1 reappears. Her name is Rina. She is revealed to be Professor Yamano's assistant, and she just happens to have data on the Kaidō's mansion that they can use if they let her work with them. | ||
| 15 | "The Power to Save the World" "Sekai o Sukuu Chikara" (世界を救う力) | June 8, 2011[4] |
| After bringing them info on Kaidō's mansion, Rina asks if there is any place they can decipher it. Lex decides to take all of them to a location the kids will recognize but that will take on a new meaning when they arrive. At first Gouda says Ban, Ami, and Kazu should not be taken to that location yet, but Takuya reminds him they will likely need all of their bases. In the van on the way to the location Lex reveals that Rina, Takuya and himself were all part of the Tiny Orbit R&D team that created LBX's, and all 3 of them were Professor Yamano's assistants. However Rina, Professor Yamano, and himself were taken by the Innovators five years earlier. One year before Lex met Ban Professor Yamano realized what the Innovators planned on using the Eternal Cycler for and tried to escape. Only Lex was able to escape. The kids recognize Tokio SIA, a major mall that they are approaching, but when they arrive Lex takes them into a secret elevator shaft that goes under the mall. The kids are introduced to The Seekers, an anti-terrorist organization that is set up beneath Tokio SIA. When they get to the base they find out that the Four Devas, Mika, and Ryuu have also all been recruited by the Seekers. The Seekers decrypt the data on Kaidō's mansion and decide to infiltrate with three teams. Team 1 will be Ban, Ami, and Kazu. Team 2 will be Lex, Rina, and Takuya. Team 3 will be Gouda, Mika, and Ryuu. The rest of the Four Devas are to be held in reserve at Tokio SIA in case something goes wrong. The groups then head to Kaidō's mansion to try and save Professor Yamano. | ||

Lex, Rina, and Takuya head to the control center to open the door while the other two groups await to get in. Rina lets them in, and they decide to go to different ways hoping that one of the two groups can make it to the room Professor Yamano is supposedly being held in. As Ban, Kazu, and Ami travel they are seen by security and pursued. Just before they are to be captured when Kazu decides to tackle them down a set of stairs. Instead of being captured they roll into a secret entrance into the bedroom of Jin. Jin challenges Van to a rematch with his new LBX, the Emperor Mark 2. When the Emperor Mark 2 and Achilles both use their finishers, they knock each other temporarily unconscious. Jin is shocked that he cannot seem to defeat Ban, even with a new computer processor. Ban and his friends are able to leave Jin's room and arrive at the room Professor Yamano is supposed to be held in. When they arrive Van calls out for his father, and instead of his father Yosihmitsu appears. Yoshmitsu says if the group can manage to defeat his LBX he will give up Professor Yamano once and for all. A 3-on-1 battle is held, and Yoshimitsu wins with ease.. | ||

| After Yoshmitisu's LBX Gekkōmaru defeats Achillies, Hunter, and Kunomichi, Ban holds on to the hope that one of the other groups can arrive and defeat Yoshimitsu. That hope is quickly dashed as Yoshmitsu has the other teams brought in and reveals they have also been captured. Finally he has Professor Yamano brought in. Professor Yamano is mad at Lex because he had told Lex not to come back. Takuya manages to slip his guard and takes Yoshimitsu hostage, or so he thinks.

| 18 | "Artemis Opening" "Arutemisu Kaimaku" (アルテミス開幕) | June 29, 2011[5] |
| There is one month left until Artemis starts. Ban, Kazu, and Ami decide they will enter Artemis to keep the Innovators from gaining the Metanus GX. However Blue Cats coffee is closed, so they move their training to Kitajima's and to Gouda's hideout. Ban, Kazu, and Ami practice as often as possible and against as many players as possible leveling up their battle skills as well as fine tuning their best moves. Maintenance is done daily to their LBX's to keep them also in top fighting shape. At school it is announced that Jin has had to transfer to another school, and at a secret lab we see Yoshimitsu continue to experiment on the mysterious young man. With roughly a week left until Artemis begins Ban gets a message from Lex. Lex has him meet in a secret location where he teaches him a new finisher Super Plasma Burst. The new finisher should allow him to defeat the top class fighters, but it is to only be used when the timing is right. Gouda reveals that he is entering Artemis as Lex's battle partner, meaning The Seekers will have two teams competing for the prize. The day of the tournament finally arrives. Ban, Ami, and Kazu make their way to Artemis stadium. Ryuu comes to Artemis Stadium with a special banner he has made for the occasion. At the stadium the group sees many of the world's best champions arriving. They also run into some familiar faces in Daiki and Jin, and they see the mysterious boy climb out of the car. For some unknown reason the mysterious boy begins to follow Jin when Jin is not looking. Eventually Jin confronts him and learns his name is Yuuya Haibara. The name seems familiar to Jin, but he cannot place where it is from. The episode ends with the Artemis Opening Ceremonies. | ||
| 19 | "The Fierce Fight: Jin and Rex" "Gekitō Jin to Rekkusu" (激闘 ジンとレックス) | July 6, 2011[5] |
| Artemis officially gets underway with Block A. 16 teams make up each group, with 5 groups total competing. In Group A Lex and his G Rex are teamed up with Gouda and his Hakai-O while Jim competes with Emperor M2. The mysterious Yuuya is watching the matches from his room and looks like he is absorbing the data, similar to what a LBX does. Jin continues t dominate with his split second killing while Lex and Gouda merely overpower the competition. The two teams make it through the first two matches and end up meeting in the semifinals. Looking for a split second kill Jin uses Impact Kasier, but G-Rex stops it with his fists. Gouda begins attacking The Emperor M2 full throttle, but once again Jin seems to be able to dodge everything. Lex uses his GRex's finishing function on The Emperor G2 to cause some serious damage, but the Emperor M2 quickly rebounds and slices Gouda's Hakai-O in half to eliminate him. G-Rex has a shot at a quick attack to finish The Emperor M2, but for some unknown reason Lex hesitates and Jin gets the win. After the match Lex goes outside and tells someone on a phone call that everything is going according to their plan. Over at Tiny Corp Takuya decides to return and confront his brother Yuuya. He reveals that Yuuya is the man that was in the stands at Angrivisdas with Pandora. He asks Yuuya to help him restore the seekers so they can get revenge for their father. Apparently Yoshimitsu is responsible for the series of events that led to his death, but what those events are is untold. Yuuya refuses saying they cannot use Tiny Corp's resources to hel them get revenge, but that does not mean there are not other ways they can do so. Back at Artemis Jin easily wins the Block A final to move to the Battle Royal. Block B begins where we are introduced to Masked J and his LBX Masquerade J, who have entered solo. In the first match of B Block Masquerade J displays amazing agility and stabs his opponents LBX's in the neck to allow him to advance to the quarterfinals of Block B. Ban is amazed by Masquerade J's moves, but he thinks Masked J looks familiar. | ||
| 20 | "The Troublesome Tournament" "Haran no Tōnamento" (波乱のトーナメント) | July 13, 2011[6] |
| The B Block Finals begin as Masked J battles one Shou Kanzaki and his Gladiator who have finished off all their opponents in less than a minute. At first Shou and Gladiator make hit after hit on Masquerade and appear to have an overwhelming advantage. It has all been a trick though. Masked J was merely getting the timing of Gladiator's attacks. He begins to dodge attack after attack and when Gladiator gets cornered he finishes him with Storm Sword. After the match Masked J tells Shou he needs to start focusing on his defense and stop acting so immature. The C-block contestants include Ban, Kazu, and Ami. They are called to head for the waiting rooms. In the waiting room they meet John & Paul, the North American champions. Ban tries to wish them good luck in the upcoming match, but John & Paul refuse to acknowledge him, making Ami upset. John & Paul decide they want to finish the match before it begins, but Asia Area Champion Morigami Keita and his Warrior break it up and tell them to settle it in their opening match. Ban thanks Keita and they become quick friends. Keita and his teammates Nakabayashi Reina (w/ Amazonese) and Kunoshita Kouji (w/ Buld) let Ban and his teammates see the specs on all their LBX's, as long as they get to do the same for Achilles, Hunter, and Kunoichi. Shortly after the first matches are called. Ami wants to fight the North American champions because of their feud in the back, but she feels Achilles & Hunter provide the best chance for them to move on. John & Paul launch their Orteha & Titan into the ring, and we see the match that opens the series. Of course Ban and his team prevail, and we see quick snipets of their quarter and semi matches. In the C-Block final Ban and his friends face off with Keita and his crew. They open up with a series on head-to-head matches that make the teams appear even. However Hunter gets tricked into a trap, and Achilles and Kunoichi get damaged when they move in and save Hunter. | ||
| 21 | "Explosive: The Super Plasma Burst" "Sakuretsu Chō Purazuma Bāsuto" (炸裂 超プラズマバースト) | July 20, 2011[6] |
| With Achilles and Kunoichi damaged, Keita and Reina move in to try and finish them. Hunter uses his stinger missile though and causes a smokescreen, allowing them to escape. Ami comes up with a plan, and the group heads towards the middle of the Industrial Zone. Keita group follows at a slower pace, and eventually they get flanked by Hunter and Kunoichi. Keita thinks it is a move solely to keep him from attacking Achilles and heads to a corner where he sees Achillies shield. It ends up being a laid trap. The shield is all that's there, and Hunter has moved into sniping position. Hunter targets Warrior, but Buld jumps in the way and is eliminated. Next Hunter provides supporting fire aimed at Warrior that allows Ban to move in. Amazonese decides to target Hunter, which allows Kunoishi to come out and target Warrior 2-on-1. Amazonese has a major speed advantage over Hunter, but Hunter is able to perform the same type of kick that Ban used to send John's Ortega flying i nthe previos episode. With Amazonese stuck in the air Hunter is able to use his pin point targeting and eliminate her. Hunter then moves down to join Achilles and Kunoichi in a 3-on-1 assault. Keita realizes if the attack hits he'll be finished, and he launches his finishing move Trident. It hits all of Team Ban's members, and while Achilles shield absorbs the damage Kunoichi and Hunter take the attack head-on and are eliminated. The battle becomes 1-on-1, and Warrior has a major speed advantage thanks to Achilles damaged leg. Ban switches over to his energy gauge, and after he has absorbed enough attacks and thrust enough spears at Warrior he is able to release his new finisher Super Plasma Burst to gain the victory. Keita's team congratulates Ban on his efforts and moving on to the finals in a real sign of sportsmanship. Ban and his friends then go to get their LBX's repaired while D Block begins. Daiki advances throughout D Block to the finals with ease. On the other side a solo entry known as Yujin advances to the finals. Yujin is known to be one of Otacross's disciples, but he insists on fighting the LBX battles as OtaRed, a defender of justice, Daiki scoffs at him and thinks his Joker Mk 2 will get an easy victory to advance to the Battle Royale just before the final battle begins. | ||
| 22 | "The Mysterious Player: Yuuya Haibara" "Nazo no Pureiyā Haibara Yuuya" (謎のプレイヤー灰原ユウヤ) | July 27, 2011[6] |
| Daiki battles Yujin in the Block D Finals. Most people think Daiki will get an easy victory thanks to his overwhelming speed and the 3-on01 advantage, but Yujin convinces Daiki to face him one-on-one instead. Afterwards Block F gets underway. The mysterious player Yuuya Haibara does not appear to have a lot of skills, but he keeps getting victories and advances to the Block F finals. Jin and Ban both realize Yuuya looks like he is going through a series of tests instead of fighting seriously, and when Yuuya advances to the Block F finals it becomes quite obvious his victories, which have been less than impressive, were all merely a series of tests. What's even more disturbing is the lack of communication from Yuuya. As Yuuya advances from Block F, a 30-minute intermission is held so the five finalists can all get their LBX's in tip-top shape for the upcoming battle royale. | ||
| 23 | "The Face Off: Battle Royal" "Kessen Batoru Rowaiyaru" (決戦 バトルロワイヤル) | August 3, 2011[6] |
| The finals begin with an all-out battle royal. Ban and Jin target each other from the start, but when Yujin also gets involved and hits Ban a few times he realizes he cannot target just one opponent if he is to have any chance at victory. The five finalist continue to go blow-by-blow until Yujin and Yuuya are seen attacking The Emperor Mk 2 and Masquerade J is seen attacking Achilles. While Masquerade J is attacking Achilles a file is transferred over to Achilles with a note, you'll need this in the future. Shortly before the file is completed the Innovators activate a special mode of Yuuya's control suit. The special mode ends up taking over Yuuya's brain and sends him on a rampage. He destroys Masquerade J and Bibinbird X, eliminating Masked J and Yujin from the competition. When his two teammates decide to run from the scene Jin realizes the only way to save Yuuya is by doing his LBX. Ban and Jin set aside their differences and team up together. Emperor Mk 2 causes a smokescreen while Achilles performs his Lightning Lance finisher, eliminating Judge and freeing Yuuya from the suits control. Yuuya collapses, so the competition is halted while he receives medical attention. Ban questions Jin on what the relation is between Yuuya and Jin, but Jin refuses to answer and announces it is time for their final battle to commence. | ||

| The finals of Artemis are held as Emperor Mk 2 and Achilles match each other blow for blow. The Emperor Mk 2 has an overwhelming speed advantage, and when Achilles shield gets knocked into the lava lake it looks like things will be over for Achilles. Achilles though is able to perform some acrobatics that Emperor is unable to match, and eventually Achilles gets behind Emperor and stabs him through the chest to finish him off. Achilles and Ban are declared the winners of Artemis. However The Emperor Mk 2 rises again. Jin loses all control of his machine, and Emperor Mk 2 grabs onto Achilles before self destructing. Achilles is destroyed. After everyone sees Achilles destroyed the power to the building is cut. Everyone is forced to evacuate, but during the commotion Innovator LBX's infiltrate the building and steal the Platinum Capsule and Metanus GX. Yagami learns that it was the Innovators red team that shutdown the power at Artemis and killed the guards watching Metanus GX in the process. He goes to confront Kaidō about it and is told he is no longer necessary. Yagami leaves, and shortly after another man in a cloak walks in and stuns Kaidō with his appearance. | ||
| 25 | "The Start of a New Battle" "Aratanaru Tatakai no Hajimari" (新たなる戦いの始まり) | August 17, 2011[7] |
| Three days have past since Artemis ended. We learn that four guards were killed watching over Metanus GX, and that the police are looking for clues as to whom the culprit is. The kids practice with their LBX's planning to go on a rescue mission to reclaim Metanus GX, but they do not want to make a move until they are able to confirm the location it's being held at. Meanwhile Jin has taken over watching Yuuya and he begins to question his grandfather's involvement in the entire ordeal as Yuuya lies in a coma. We learn that Jin and Yuuya were both the lone survivors in their families in the tragic Tokio Bridge collapse that also took Yagami's family. Shortly after the bridge collapse Jin was adopted by Yoshimitsu and become a Kaido. When his grandfather refuses to answer why he programmed The Emperor Mk 2 to self-destruct and why he killed the guards Jin decides to rebel. Jin secretly goes to Cyber Lance to become a test player for their new generation of LBX's. He is given control of Proto Zenon, and the controller he will use has more memory than any other control. It also increases the combat range from 100m to 1 km. Elsewhere Ban visits the warehouse where Lex trained him on the Super Plasma Burst. Surprisingly Lex appears and gives Ban the Platinum Capsule. He reveals the Platinum Capsule the Innovators stole was a fake. Ban contacts his allies, but on the way to Tiny Orbit the Innovators surround the car they are traveling in hoping to steal the real Platinum Capsule. | ||

| Using LBX's the Innovators hack into Takuya's car system, but just before the car can be captured Pandora arrives and makes the save. Pandora then eliminates an entire trucks Dequoo's with an EMP while Hunter and Kunoichi provide support, Pandora eventually is able to hack into one of the trucks computer systems and power it down, allowing Takuya and the kids to escape, but Ami notices that Pandora has a hesitancy every 2 minutes and 40 seconds. When the group arrives at Tiny Orbit they learn that Tiny Orbit is developing a new Sparkbload system that will increase the usage of LBX's to 50 km and allow them to be used in space and on other planets. Ami realizes that Pandora had to be operated with this technology, and when she sees the railcar speeds through Tiny Orbit's station lasting 5 seconds she realizes it has to be someone there. Just then Yuusuke arrives and leads the group where they can try to decipher the Platinum Capsule. The group is not able to decipher the Platinum Capsule, but they find blueprints for a new LBX had been downloaded into the Platinum Capsule roughly 72 hours before, during Artemis. Ban reveals Masked J sent him the info, and then Yuusuke reveals Masked J was Professor Yamano. Ami decides to reveal Yuusuke's secret, and after he admits it he brings out Pandora for the others to see. Before they can get a closer look at Pandora though the Innovators attack Tiny Orbit with four Inbit's. One of the Inbit's self destructs, taking out Tiny POrbit's defense system, so Ami and Kazu go to fight the other three. Kunoichi gets destroyed during a massive bodyslam, leaving Kazu in a 3-on-1 battle, so Yuusuke sends Ami the start-up code for Pandora. Pandora arrives just in time to save Hunter and prevent the 3 Inbit's from moving past Tiny Orbit's elevator shaft. | ||

| Pandora uses her speed to cut down one of the Inbit's camera eyes. She then leads the other two into a corner where she appears to be trapped in a dead end. As the two start to fire at her, Ami commands Pandora to dodge their attacks and then simultaneously strikes down their other camera eyes. The three crash into each other and then explode. With the Inbit's out of the way construction begins On Ban's new LBX Odin, and Takuya takes the time to show the kids that the Seekers new base is right in the center of Tiny Orbit. Elsewhere Rina decides to infiltrate one of the Kaido's secret houses. She waits until the leader of the red team has left the room before going in to face Yoshimitsu. Her goal is to force him to approve usage of Optima in the medical field to save her sisters life. Elsewhere on the base Yagami is given a file that contains all the data on the Tokio Bridge incident, but when the red team begins to hunt him he is forced to alter his escape route. Also in the base is Jin, who has pulled data showing that Yuuya was used as a science experiment by Yoshimitsu. Jin decides to leave Yoshimitsu's care for good and join Ban and his friends fighting the Innovators. Eventually the man who gave Yagami the data leads him into a trap room and traps him, but Jin frees him allowing him to escape. Back at Yoshimitsu's office Rina holds a gun to Yoshimitsu and demands he allows Optima to go forward in the medical field. Yoshimitsu grabs the gun and gets into a wrestling contest, accidentally forcing the gun to go off and shoot him in the process. As Rina flees the scene Yoshimitsu is seen rising from the gunshot, but he is no longer human. Instead he is some sort of robot who has taken over Yoshimitsu's spot. Yagami finds Rina crying in the halls and drags her along so they can escape. The group flees to the spy jet Eclipse and manage to escape within it. Back at Tiny Orbit construction is finished on Odin. Ban assembles him and places the Platinum Capsule inside. As the group gets ready to test Odin's capabilities an alarm goes off inside Tiny Orbit.

The Innovators red team hides in three locations nearby waiting to infiltrate Tiny Orbit after the wreck. Seeing no other choice, Ban asks if using Odin and the Sparkbload together might work to stop the wreck. Odin launches and infiltrates the train with roughly 20 km until impact. When he arrives in car 1 he sees that the LBX General Commander is controlling the train. Odin and General Commander fight, but Ban has a hard time using Odin's control functions because he is so much more advanced than Achilles. Seeing no other choice Ban runs headlong at General Commander and stuns him, allowing Odin to use his Gungnir finisher. General Commander is defeated, and Odin activates the brakes, However the brakes fail to engage. Yuusuke contacts the linear command and learns of a second way to stop the train. Ban destroys the trains control panel, causing the train to crash into the tracks and friction to slow it down. The actions appear to have taken place two late though as the train still has too much speed and will crash into Tiny Orbit. As things look their most grim Jin arrives and contacts them with the message, "Let me finish the rest." Jin launches Proto Zenon and uses his rocket thrusters to create a reverse draft. the train is stopped with 1m left until impact. Afterwards Jin reveals he has turned against his grandfather. he manages to convince the group and is welcomed to the Seekers. After Jin leaves Ban's LBX is brought back to him. A message is hidden inside Odin. It's none other than Professor Yamano. He reveals the contents in Metanus GX can still be recovered by the group if they can hack into the world's most protected computer system. The group is disappointed when they learn even a team of hackers failed to do so, but Yuusuke reveals there is one man who could succeed, the legendary hacker Otacross. | ||

Ami solves the clue and leads them to the location the Ota Rangers are located at. In order to claim the legendary LBX Ami must battle Ota Yellow. Meanwhile Gouda stays behind to battle Daiki. Ami uses Pandora's speed, calculations, and the finisher Chaotic Fist to defeat Bibinbird X3 while Gouda sacrifices an arm to pin Joker Mk. 2 and defeat Daiki. As a result Daiki becomes his servant and Ami wins the legendary LBX. The group is taken into Otacross's office where Otacross reveals he can hack into the computer system known as God Gate, but he does not want to.

| As Ban and his friends begin to return to Tiny Orbit they get surrounded by Innovators who want to steal the Eternal Cycler data. Takuya attacks one of the Innovators and tries to create an opening for the kids, but they end up being surrounded. Yagami arrives on the scene and surrounds the Innovators forcing them to retreat. As the group arrives at Tiny Orbit Yuusuke decides to trust Yagami and his allies. Yuusuke then demands they begin creating a rough draft on the Eternal Cycler because the prime minister has approved Yoshimitsu's Earth Crust Generation project. The Earth Crust Generation Project calls for energy to be harvested from underground volcanoes, but it would make Earth's crust unstable and lead to lots of destruction. Over at Cyber Lance Jin returns Proto Zenon with the data he collected from Akihabara Kingdom. The data will allow them to evolve Proto Zenon into Zenon's final form. Elsewhere Daiki is battlign at the arcades trying to get some sense of fun back into his life, but he feels there is something missing. Back at Tiny Orbit Yuusuke runs into Sawamura and brushes him off when he asks for a specific report. No one realizes that Sawamura is a spy inside Tiny Orbit. At the same time Ban and his friends head towards the Seekers base and run into Rina, who has been rehired by Tiny Orbit for her Sparkbload knowledge. Sawamura goes into Tiny Orbit's main security room and shuts off their alarm system. Outside Kirishima is hired to steal the eternal cycler when it is completed. If he succeeds, he will be given the funds to restart Asuka Manufacturing. Back at the Seekers base Rina tells everyone how she shot Yoshimitsu and he survived. She then tells how she met Yagami as he was leaving the Innovators. Yagami then tells them how his family was killed by the Tokio Bridge incident and how the Innovators were responsible for it. As construction begins on the Eternal Cycler Yuusuke and Takuya get contacted by Otacross. Otacross informs them an army of LBX's is approaching Tiny Orbit through an underground tunnel. Tiny Orbit does a scan and learns more than 25,000 LBX's are about to attack as the episode comes to an end. | ||

| The Hacker Corps connect to the Infinity Net and send their LBX's to help out at Tiny Orbit. Gouda is sent down to work with the Hacker Corps; Ban, Kazu, and Ami will provide last defense on the staircase, and Yagami and his crew will guard the fourth floor vents. Roughly 1 hour is needed to finish the eternal cycler. As the LBX's begin to attack Gouda uses his finishing move, Super Gaou Cannon to take out nearly 1,000 LBX's. The Hacker Corps follow suit as Red Ribbon uses his Napalm Bomb, Gladiator uses his laser cutter, and Claymisha uses his trident. When the LBX's get past the first line Ami realizes the ones getting through are All Inbit's that run on AI's. With this new knowledge they are able to narrow down the attack patterns and use their finishers to take out more LBX's. Odin uses Gugnir, Fenrir uses Hawk Eye Drive, and Ami uses Chaotic Fist. When the LBX's are narrowed down to roughly 2,000 the Innovators send in their fort tank Bardoma as a last resort. Jin arrives with the newly completed Zenon, and the groups are reassigned. Ban and Jin will work with the Hacker Corps battling the tank while Ami, Kazu, and Gouda move up to the fourth floor to join Yagami protecting the lab. Zenon uses his finisher Break Gazer to cause a smokescreen, allowing Zenon and Odin to get onto the tank. The hacker corps try to follow suit, but Fort Tank Bardoma begins to fire randomly and takes out many of their LBX's. On the tank Zenon begins to hack into the tanks system while Odin takes out enemy LBX's. Odin uses Super Plasma Burst for the first time to finish off the enemy LBX's just before Zenon forces Fort Tank Bardoma to power down. News comes in. All the enemy LBX's have been defeated, and Yuuki finishes the eternal cycler test. However power goes off in the lab, and Kirishima steals the eternal cycler. Yuusuke goes in pursuit. Ban arrives at the front entrance to meet Jin and get back Odin when he sees Yuusuke pursuing Kirishima. Kirishima hesitates to use a gun he has, so the Innovators send another agent up which steals the eternal cycler. The agent then has a preprogrammed truck try to run over Kirishima, but Yuusuke pushes him out of the way and gets hit instead, ending his life right in front of Ban and Jin's eyes. | ||

As Takuya makes his way to his office, he is given the research his brother did on the Innovators and vows to fight til the very end. Takuya calls a meeting for all of Tiny Orbit and dismisses the entire board. Afterwards he returns to the Seekers base where he introduces Yagami, Hosoi, Yakabe, and Mano as the newest Seekers. The group reveals they will be providing support from the Eclipse they stole from the Innovators. Takuya reveals the data his brother got and tells everyone that his father was also killed by the Innovators in a staged car accident. He also announces that Kirishima is being brought on to create new support weapons for the LBX's. Kirishima is hesitant about doing so until Ami thanks him for creating the fortified box they use for LBX battles. We move to Ban's house where Ban's mom tries to get him to eat. She admits that she is scared but knows a time comes that people must fight and that Ban must recover. As Kazu and Ami make their way home, they get a call from Yagami. They are being pursued by one of the Innovators. The group leads the Innovator to Blue Cats where Yagami ambushes the spy and defeats his LBX Assassin. At a nearby arcade Gouda sees Daiki leaving and invites him to join the upcoming fight against the Innovators. Meanwhile Jin questions his grandfather and gains evidence that he is a android. After learning this he decides to leave the mansion for good. At the airport Kamiya Corp's president welcomes back his son Kousuke, who has been studying LBX's overseas.

Lex sends Kazu the infiltration route, so Kazu, Ami, Gouda, and Daiki decide to go in, not knowing Lex is watching them from the shadows. The group makes it into Goliath fairly easily and arrives at the control center where they see mysterious controls known as acorns being made. The group is forced to hide when Yoshimitsu arrives. Shortly afterwards Kamiya Craft's president arrives with his son, who informs them they have a rat problem. Yoshimitsu and the President leave the room and Kousuke faces the others four-on-1 with his LBX Lucifer. At Ban's place Jin arrives to confront Ban. Ban admits he's afraid he'll die or his friends will die if they continue. Jin tells him loss is a part of life and reveals that his parents were killed in the Tokio Bridge incident. If that were not enough his grandfather has now been killed and replaced by a android. Ban gets more rebellious and tries to destroy Odin until Jin reminds him how Odin connects him to his father. This, plus some wise words from his mother, cause Ban to rebound. Jin is notified that Ami and the others have been captured in Goliath, so Ban and Jin decide to rescue them. At Kamiya Corp Yoshimitsu tells the Innovators to hand over the Eternal Cycle sampler when the Seekers arrive because he is changing up the final phase of their plan. Ban and Jin sneak in with the help of the Kaido's butler, but the Yoshimitsu android comes into the hall to battle. He launches his new LBX Kaiser to battle Odin and Zenon. Kaiser gains Odin and Zenon's battle data using his AI and then begins to defeat them. However Ban's determination causes Odin to unleash his Extreme Mode. Odin overpowers and destroys Kaiser.

Jin realizes they are being led into a trap but feels there is no choice but to continue. Ban and Jin make it to the control room where they see the acorns being made. Jin realizes they could be a weapon that is run by the eternal cycler. Kousuke arrives and promises to let them go if Ban and Jin can beat him in a battle. Odin and Zenon are sent out to battle Lucifer, but Lucifer has incredible speed. Ban is eventually able to analyze Kousuke's speed and jabs Lucifer in the side. Before Kousuke can retaliate his father contacts him and says it is time to go. Kousuke returns the groups CCM's and provides an escape route. Before they leave Jin asks what the acorns are for, and Kousuke reveals they are miniature megaton bombs. The groups escape route ends up being the trash line, but they are able to make it outside. Good news awaits them as Takuya reveals that Zaizen has agreed to postpone the Earth Crust project. The good news is short lived as Lex sends Ban the data on the Innovators target. The Innovators plan to destroy the worlds energy at the Tyrant Press Energy Plant.

Lex reveals he is targeting N-City because of the International Group Summit taking place there. Lex reveals an explosion 18 years earlier cost his father his job, but his father always claimed he did not cause the explosion. Lex traced the explosion back to Yoshimitsu, which is why he took his life, but now he sees the world falling for the same trap from politicians, economists, and developers because of their greed. The group leaves the lab and boards Eclipse and Lex and the anrdoir Yoshmitsu use a jet plane to board Saturn. Eclipse catches up with Saturn and launches a desperate attack with LBX's to try and lower fence's defenses. 6 LBX's make it on board Saturn using their new umbrella shields, but they quickly encounter a fleet of Innovator LBX's waiting for them. Ban and Jin manage to make it to the fence control room where they once again encounter Kousuke. Kousuke refuses to believe they are headed for N-City and insists on fighting. Seeing no other choice Ban activates Odin's Extreme Mode and Jin activate Zenon's Alternative Mode to battle Lucifer. Lucifer tries a quick finisher with Devil Sword but fails to hit them because of the increased speed. Odin and Zenon get in many quick hits and appear to finish off Lucifer, but Lucifer rises and enters the deadly Seraphic Mode to finish the battle. | ||

| Lucifer uses his finisher on Odin and Zenon in Seraphic mode and begins to celebrate his victory. When the smoke clears neither Odin nor Zenon have been harmed. Ban uses Gungnir and Jin uses Break Gazer in their powered up modes to finish off Lucifer and cause Kousuke to collapse. Before their LBX's can go any further Lex raises a plasma field to block of fthe sparkbload signals. Eclipse launches an anchor into Saturn and the Seekers infiltrate Saturn with two missions: 1) regain their LBX's and 2) shut down Saturn. Only two places can have the route changed- the control room and the cockpit. Professor Yamano and Yagami's subordinates head toward the control room while Yagami holds off Innovator LBX's. Ban and Jin head for the cockpit. Along the way Gouda, Daiki, Kazu, and Ami recover their LBX's, but they are forced to stay behind to help eliminate Innovator LBX's. After regaining Odin and Zenon Ban and Jin arrive in the sat room where the plasma field is being raised. Jin powers down the satellites just before android Yoshimitsu returns. He challenges Jin to a battle, and Jin accepts while sending Ban ahead to deal with Lex. Jin sends the camera signal to Professor Yamano allowing him to show the battle to the entire shiop. Yoshimitsu easily handles Zenon until he cuts off his left arm. The loss of the left arm throws Zenon's weight off kilter and allows Zenon to begin dodging attacks. Zenon once again enters Alternative Mode, causing Yoshimitsu to start short circuiting. Jin unveils the final finisher for Zenon, Omega Explosion, and destroys Gekkomaru and Yoshimitsu. Seeing that Yoshimitsu is an android the Innovators recheck Saturns coordinates and learn the plane is headed for N-City. The Innovators stop battling and surrender. Meanwhile Ban arrives at the cockpit and finds Lex waiting so they can have the final battle. | ||

Jin also arrives at the cockpit, but before he can breakdown the door to where Ban is Dr. Yamano arrives and stops him saying they have another mission they need to complete first. Lex brings out Ifreet to battle Odin. Ifreet is armed wit Angel's AI capabilities and quickly destroys Odin's shield. Odin counters with Gungir but ends up missing Ifreet. Ifreet activates his Inferno Mode, and Lex says Inferno Mode contains all the hatred he has, meaning Inferno Mode is Lex as he is today. He knocks Odin through part of Saturn, but Ban retaliates with Jet Striker and then enters extreme Mode. Professor Yamano and Jin arrive back at the control room where Professor Yamano enters a self destruct sequence, but only Odin can activate it. Back at the battle Ifreet uses Prominence Raid, but it fails to stop Odin's Extreme Mode. Ban pierces Ifreet through the chest and appears to defeat him, but Ifreet's AI accepts all of Lex's hatred and starts firing wildly. Odin counters with Lightning Lance and follows it up with Super Plasma Burst to defeat Ifreet for good. Odin then activates the self destruct, and Ban helps Lex head back towards Eclipse. On the way back to Eclipse Lex reveals the words he wanted the world to know to Ban. Those words are , "Humans aren't beasts. Humans aren't Gods. Humans need to take the time to think what humans should do." Ban makes it onto Eclipse's escape hatch, and then Lex pushes him up further and tells Takuya to detach. Lex goes down with the ship and gives Ban yet one more friend to mourn, but Saturn and the Fairies are stopped permanently and N-City is protected. | ||

He reveals that the Detectors are kidnapping the strongest LBX players for unknown reasons. Cobra gives Ban a new LBX, Elysion, with which to fight. Ban assembles Elysion and Cobra traces down that the hacked computer being controlled by the Detectors is the old Seeker base. Takuya provides Ban and Hiro knowledge on how to get to the base. On B8 the two get ambushed by 5 Inbit's, but Ban and Hiro use good teamwork to stop them and defeat them with ease. The group makes it inside the Seeker base where they have to face multiple LBX's.

| Takuya and Cobra arrive at the base, but the mysterious youth has left. Takuya decides to restore the Seekers and contacts Rina to come to assemble the old base. Cobra reveals all he knows about the detectors, which is not much more than has been shared. He reveals that the LBX's are being taken over through a process called brainjacking. The brainjacking occurs through the M Chip which Omegadain requires all LBX's to have. However Professor Yamano has ignored that requirement and made it so Perseus and Elysion do not have the M Chip. He also reveals that a third LBX from Professor Yamano will be presented to the winner of the Shibuya Town Martial Arts tournament. The next day Takuya contacts Yagami and asks him to investigate Omegadain. He also tells him he is bringing back the Seekers to fight. Over in Shibuya Hansaki Ran wins the martial arts tournament and is presented Minerva. After the tourney she goes to fight her friend outside when Detector LBX's arrive. Minerva and Warrior are able to handle most of them, but then Warrior gets brainjacked.

Ban, Hiro, Jessica, and Ran are given a program on their CCM's that will allow them to detect EM waves. Using the program they trace the hijacked computer to the subway doctor train. The Seekers finish the vaccine program. The four members install the vaccine program in their LBX's, and Jessica and Hiro head into the doctor train to stop the brainjacking. Once inside they run into Kousuke. he has been turned into a slave player by the Detectors and has a control collar that brainwashes him.

Takuya is kicked out of Tiny Orbit, but as he leaves his secretary tells him to let her handle the rest inside Tiny Orbit. Back in A Nation NICS makes Jin a member of the team. Ban and company are then taken to meet their resident hacker. It's none other than Otacross. Otacross reveals he has learned that the computers being brainjacked continue to maintain their functions, but they do not operate at 100%. Otacross then scans the many super computers and learns a computer in Shang-Pao, China looks like it's about to be brainjacked. NICS loads the team up onto their transport vehicle, the Duck Shuttle, and they take off for China. Meanwhile Takuya meets with Yagami and reveals that Crystar Ingram and Omegadain have some sort of relation. Yagami then asks Takuya to go on some sort of mission in his place. | ||

When they arrive in Shang-Pao Otacross calls everyone to the control room. He introduces everyone to his creation, the Riding Sousa. The Riding Sousa was created to allows LBX's to have greater mobility in the air and in places like space. Because it is night Otacross has Ban fly Elysion around the city on a Riding Sousa. Ban does scans of he supercomputers on the way, and the group narrows it down to two super computers: Dragon Tower and Shang-Pao Harbor. The next morning the teams divide into two groups to search the locations. Ban, Ran, and Otacross go to Dragon Tower while Jin, Jessica, and Hiro go to Shang-Pao Harbor. Ban and Ran think Dragon Tower looks creepy, but Otacross reveals it is actually an amusement park. The group goes inside and Ran is given a map of Dragon Tower by a giant panda bear person. Otacross decides they should check Dragon Tower by going up the emergency stairs. When the group makes it to the elevator automated LBX's jump out and try to amnush them. Otacross eliminates them with ZX-1, and then a brainjacking signal is detected. The group raises up the tower with Otacross eliminating another set of LBX's with ZX-2 and Minerva eliminating the third, but Otacross throws out his back in the process. Ban decides to take Otacross back down but tells Ran to find the supercomputer and then wait for backup before engaging the enemy. Ran finds the supercomputer and learns the giant panda bear person is actually a slave player. Ran ignores Ban's council and engages the slave player, who fights back with 2 Dark Kunoichi's and a Dark Pandora. Ban and Otacross detect the battle and head back up, but Minerva is defeated before they make it up. Otacross and Ban arrive and Otcross fuses his LBX's to form Perfect ZX-3.

Jessica mistakenly thinks that Billy has feelings for her, but when Billy admits the only thing he has feelings for is LBX's and that the matches he had been checking out were Hiro's she gets mad. Jessica is able to use this fury to increase her speed, and she uses the terrain as a shield. Billy decides to narrow things down and uses his quick draw to eliminate most of the mountains Jessica has been using as a shield. He then shoots her shield out of her hand, leading to a one-on-one quick draw competition. Hiro decides to use his Cosmo Swords finisher to eliminate the rest of the land mines, and as the smokescreen reaches Jessica and Billy shots are fired. Bill walks out the winner and turns his eyes towards Hiro. Billy's speed proves to be too much for Hiro at first, but Hiro remembers what it was like fighting with a lance. He decides to turn Perseus's entire body into a lance. He manages to knock away Billy's guns, and after him and Billy regain their weapons of choice they face down each other. Hiro gains new speed and manages to make it a close fight that Billy cannot keep up with. Billy is defeated, and Hiro becomes the Anga Texas champion.

Cobra hears the argument outside and gives them the afternoon off to cool their heads. The groups divide into sets of two to go have some fun or contemplate events. Hiro and Yuuya head to Geek Street where Hiro hopes to collect rare Senshiman action figures. Yuuya tags along hoping to learn about some of the shows he has never seen, having had no real childhood. They get what Hiro wanted to get, but some of the geeks present recognize them and ask them to battle. As neither of them had brought their LBX's they get couple of loaners to do battle. Meanwhile Jin talks with Ban and helps him realize he cannot control all attacking and force someone else to adjust their pace. Back at the geek shop all 5 people that recognized Yuuya and Hiro participate in a 5-on-2 battle. Without having Perseus Hiro begins to realize what true teamwork is. Yuuya leads 4 of the guys in a distraction maneuver while Hiro takes out the lone shark. 4-on-2 seems a little more reasonable as Hiro and Yuuya each are able to dispose of 2 of their opponents. As everyone returns to NICS both Ban and Hiro ask for one more battle to end the day. It's a 3-on-1 battle of Jeanne D, Triton, and Liu Bei against Sigma Ovis.

He then gives everyone 6-hours to surrender or he will destroy their nations one-by-one. Secretary Kaios and the President think about what they should do when the NICS main headquarter computer goes into lockdown and traps 1,000 of people in the facility. Alfeld comes on and announces the President has been kidnapped by Detector but that A Nation will continue to fight the terrorists. The people rally and support his words. Secretary Kaios learns that the direct communication with Duck Shuttle is still active and contacts the group. Doctor Oozora informs him that the lockdown probably means NICS will be the next target.

Otacross comes up with the idea that they can create a dodging program and avoid the lasers successfully so they can infiltrate Paradise. Otacross and Doctor Oozora begin working on the new program. Meanwhile the kids are reminded that their LBX's will need to remain on the Flying Sousa's and use various long range guns or they will lose their LBX's to space forever. The exception to this is Achilles Deed and the newly remodeled Minerva Kai, which is presented back to Ran. After giving Ran Minerva Kai Professor Yamano returns to working on new LBX's for Ban and Hiro. Enemy LBX's begin to attack, and everyone launches except Ban and Hiro. The damage Elysion and Perseus suffered from the sacrifice of their Flying Sousa's has penetrated their cores, making them unable to be used. Minerva Kai and Achilles Deed do their best to take out any enemy LBX's that get too close while the others fly out further, but Duck Shuttle comes under attack. Too much damage to Duck Shuttle would make it unable to reenter Earth's atmposphere. Professor Yamano completes the modifications to the Proto I's, and Ban and Hiro launch Ikaros Zero and Ikaros Force. Ikaros Zero and Ikaros Force easily dispose of the enemy LBX's while debuting anew mode they have- weapon form.

He traps Ban, Hiro, and Ran in a D-Egg and sends out his Dequoo OZ, Hakai-O Kirito Custom, and Joker Kirito Custom to battle Ikaros Zero, Ikaros Force, and Minerva Kai. We see a Kirito flashback. Kirito had a girlfriend named Amy. One day Kirito was running late to a date and a truck slid and killed Amy right in front of his eyes. Kirito built an android of Amy, but without the perfect brain it lacked the feeling that it was Amy. Alan Worthen offered Kirito the perfect brain is he would become Omegadain's test player. That perfect brain is part of Cyclops AI and sits now at 97%. The group begins to battle, and Ikaros Zero destroys Hakai-O Kirito Custom with Cosmo Slash. Minerva Kai destroys Joker Kirito Custom with Blaze Destruction Extreme. Just before Ban can unleash Ikaros Force's finisher the download reaches 100%. Dequo-Oz powers up. Ikaros Zero transforms into weapon mode and they unleash the Meteor Breaker to counter Dequoo-OZ's strength from the finisher X Blade. The two powerful finishers make the D-Egg go unstable and allow a mysterious LBX to infiltrate the battlefield. The mysterious LBX stabs Dequoo-Oz through the chest and steals the perfect brain, Alfeld comes on and thanks Kirito for his hardwork and relieves him of his duties, announcing that the perfect brain can only work in LBX's and could never work in an android. Alfeld's LBX flees with the perfect brain, and the kids are able to move on. Kirito collapses to the ground heartbroken. As the group moves on they divide into teams. Ami goes with Kazu, Jin with Yuuya, Jessica with Asuka, and Ban, Hiro, and Ran travel with Professor Yamano and Doctor Oozora. They destroy the limiters and activate the emergency elevators. As the groups arrive in the control corridor hallway an alarm sounds. The emergency doors to the control center close with only Ban's team making it through to the elevator. Seeing no other choice Ban's group takes the elevator to the control room where they are welcomed by Alfeld, Doctor Mummy, and Bishop with only 15 minutes left until the satellite can fire again. | ||

A mysterious girl named San controls the LBX's, but she decides to save her wildcards for another day. Ban communicates with Tenma, and the two come up with a plan to destroy the enemy LBX's. Once the enemy LBX's are destroyed another new girl appears. She casts some sort of spell that causes everyone in the world to start disappearing. Luckily Fei arrives in the Inazuma Bus and saves Shunsei Inazuma Japan. They follow the Duck Ship to the woods where they introduce themselves and quickly become friends. A little later on a scream is heard in the woods. Ban, Hiro, and Tenma rush to the scene where they save a girl named Fran from two LBX's. The group quickly begins to know Fran and thinks she is becoming their friend. It is all a setup though. Fran tries to make them all disappear in the night, but their hope and goals protect them. Fran realizes the only way to defeat them is by causing dissent within the ranks. Slowly dissent is caused. First Fran has a killer droid destroy Pandora and Achilles Deed, which causes Kazu and Ami to disappear. Then she plants evidence that will turn the two groups against each other. What she had not counted on was Shinsuke seeing her plant the evidence. He reveals this to everyone, and they turn against Fran. Fran summons Asta and San, and the three challenge everyone to a soccer and LBX match at coordinates G223. Of course everyone rushes off to do the battle. Asta and San use techniques which cause the teams to turn against each other, but Ban, Hiro, and Tenma use their various speeches to again focus the group. Inazuma Japan ends up defeating Asta's The Destructchers 3-2, and Ban and his friends destroy all of San's LBX's. Fran goes ballistic when she sees her friends lose and attacks both groups. The groups unite to create God Hand W which engulfs Fran and turns her back into her light hearted good self. With Fran and her friends defeated the worlds are restored to normal. The groups say goodbye before disappearing and go back to their worlds where they can once again enjoy soccer, LBX battles, and for Fran she can be reunited with her siblings and create a world full of flowers and joy. | ||
