The Battle Arena Tournament Grand Finale pits Shobu against Bucketman, who remains under Zakira’s control. While the duel proceeds, Boy George urges Mimi to rescue the children from Miss Kirumi. Mimi, Aizen, and Mikuni attempt a rear rescue but are trapped by Kirumi’s armor missiles. The children refuse to flee, having allied with the rescuers, shocking Yumama. Zakira offers them freedom or continued service. Kirumi orders Bura to block interruptions. Yumama tries to intervene in the duel but is stopped by Peeskwhy Perfect. Meanwhile, an injured Kokujo duels Bura. Shobu wins without using Soul Phoenix or Avatar of Unity. Zakira orders Hendrix to steal the card, but Knight defends Shobu. Dr. Root advises Zakira to leave, but he attacks Hakuoh. Mimi breaks free to push Zakira back, forcing his retreat. When Shobu wakes Hakuoh, he does not recognize him.
