Following Kai's defeat, Rei faces Bryan, a ruthless Neo Borg member who blocks emotions except hate. Bryan weaponizes air and stadium debris, easily throwing Rei out of the dish in the first round. Although Rei endures wind attacks in the second round to secure a hold, he faints from exhaustion. In the decisive third round, Rei is pushed out of the dish after repeated hits. Remembering his friends' encouragement and seeing Driger withstand Fallborg, Rei rallies his strength. He commands Driger to shield him before launching a final attack that shatters Fallborg, resulting in a tie for the finals. Severely injured, Rei faints but regains consciousness just before being hospitalized, realizing he has won.
