40

As competitors from around the world gather for the start of the World Robattle Championships, Mr Referee is shocked to be informed of a new rule for the contest. As Ikki and Kouji meet up, they worry that Space Medafighter X might not turn up for the competition and that they will be disqualified, however Ikki and Metabee have more important things to worry about when they immediately get off on the wrong foot with world champion Victor of Team Kenya. When Ikki learns that an exhibition match between Team Kenya and Team Japan will be held during the opening ceremonies, he and Metabee look forward to taking Victor on, until Space Medafighter X fails to turn up for the opening ceremony. As the teams are all introduced, Mr Referee reluctantly announces the new ruling for the championship, that the loser of each robattle must give up their medal to the winner. The stunned players take in the news as the exhibition match begins, but with Space Medafighter X still a no show, Team Japan is about to be disqualified as Karen turns up in his place. As the exhibition match starts, Team Japan is no match for the power of Victor and the rest of Team Kenya, but the time limit runs out and the three friends narrowly avoid defeat. But after such a shocking first bout is there any hope for Team Japan once the contest gets started for real. (Source: TV.com)
