Ep. 46: Naoki Defeats Maki to Clear Miyaji Academy of Reversed Fighters

46

Naoki employs the Tempest Bolt Dragon to defeat Shingo, reversing his condition and allowing the group to return to school. Aichi reflects on Leon’s words while heading to Card Capital, where Misaki deduces Naoki and Shingo are handling Reversed opponents independently. At Miyaji Academy, Naoki confronts Maki in a secret room, resisting her attempts to sway him toward Link Joker’s darkness. Shingo’s reminder that Naoki is not alone breaks Maki’s influence, leading to her defeat. This victory clears the final Reversed fighters at the school, causing the floating gate to vanish. Maki regains consciousness, and Naito and Suwabe develop a new appreciation for the game. Aichi and Misaki reunite with the group, witnessing Naoki collapse from exhaustion. Upon learning Naoki’s motivations, Aichi resolves to confront his remaining Reversed friends and heads toward Takuto’s location.
