With one month remaining before Artemis, Ban, Kazu, and Ami enter the tournament to prevent the Innovators from acquiring the Metanus GX. After Blue Cats coffee closes, they relocate training to Kitajima's and Gouda's hideout, practicing frequently to refine their LBX battle skills and maintenance. At school, Jin announces his transfer to another institution, while Yoshimitsu continues experiments on a mysterious young man in a secret lab. One week before the event, Lex instructs Ban to meet at a secret location to learn the Super Plasma Burst finisher, intended for top-class fighters. Gouda joins as Lex's partner, forming two Seekers teams. On the tournament day, the group arrives at Artemis Stadium alongside Ryuu and familiar faces like Daiki and Jin. They encounter the mysterious boy, who follows Jin until he reveals his name is Yuuya Haibara. The episode concludes with the start of the opening ceremonies.
