Ep. 45: Naoki and Shingo attempt to reclaim Miyaji Academy from Reversed fighters.

45

After training, Naoki and Shingo build a deck to retake Miyaji Academy from Reversed fighters. They face Maki, who summons most Reversed fighters except Kamui and Kourin. Naoki and Shingo defeat them individually, but Shingo secretly loses to Maki. Naoki then meets Naito and Suwabe, who hide from Reversed fighters and do not know about Maki’s connection to Reverse. Upon finding Shingo, Naoki discovers he has become Reversed. Determined to save his friend, Naoki challenges Reversed Shingo to a cardfight. Although Naoki starts strong, Shingo counters with Covert Demonic Dragon, Hyakki Vogue "Reverse" and its Limit Break. Reversed Shingo rejects their friendship, causing Naoki to lose hope until he hears the real Shingo’s voice, which inspires him to keep fighting.
