Ep. 22: Team Q4 travels to the Hong Kong Stage of the VF Circuit for tag battles against Team Lao.

22

Team Q4 arrives at the Hong Kong Stage of the VF Circuit, aiming to advance and meet Takuto. Before the matches begin, they encounter three males of varying sizes, whom Shin vaguely recognizes, followed by two identical girls who warn them about the group's strength. The stage features 2-on-2 tag battles where the first team to deal 9 points of damage wins. Kamui struggles with the rules, so Aichi and Misaki pair up to face Team Lao in the first round. The unique rules require fighters to attack only the front player, prohibit consulting partners or showing cards, but allow "tag guards" to block and share Counterblast damage. Team Lao’s Terence and Felix use Tachikaze decks, with Terence’s Raptor units dealing significant early damage to Aichi. Misaki utilizes her new Witch deck, riding Scarlet Witch and CoCo to draw cards and exploit her vanguard’s soul. Shin realizes Team Lao consists of three brothers with strong synergy. The episode questions whether Aichi and Misaki can defeat the Lao brothers' teamwork.
