Masquerade delivers a Doom card to a mysterious brawler, prompting Dan to train with Drago for a rematch. Although the duo continues to argue, Marucho suggests their previous encounter was a draw caused by field destruction from Drago’s ability. Their relationship improves when Runo discovers Tigrera, another talking Bakugan. Dan subsequently faces the brawler, identified as Rikimaru, and secures a narrow victory through Drago’s clever tactics. Despite the win, the pair disputes the result, leading Dan to throw Drago into the river.
