The twenty-seventh episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
My Sunshine is going through artists block, so her manager hires a music critic for her.
Summary[]
My Sunshine is recording a new single, "dear-dear DREAM". Though she's proud of her performance, she still feels depressed, enough that she doesn't even want to play Battle Spirits. Pink is very worried upon learning of her artists block.
Meanwhile, Bashin is wondering how to improve his deck. Aibou suggests that he mix in some colors, such as the yellow magic, Royal Potion, but Bashin is still against that idea.
Back at the studio, My Sunshine's manager introduces her to Amade Us, a music critic. Also a rapper, Amade disturbs everyone with his performance, but My Sunshine starts to think he may be her only hope.
Pink goes to see Bashin, who gets together with all hi friends at the Battle Spirits Center. Upon learning of My Sunshine's problems, they decide to try and help out. Bashin, Meganeko and Striker get into the studio with backstage passes, where they meet J. He came to help too, but was embarrassed to admit it. When they finally find My Sunshine, she's been completely converted to a rapper. My Sunshine's manager learns that Amade wasn't the person they sent for.
Bashin and the others confront Amade Us, who turns out to be a Nazo-Otona. He knows that My Sunshine is Suiren, and wants to keep her from battling. Somehow, Meganeko, Striker and J are infected by his rapping, and also turn into rappers. Bashin is unaffected. The pets, who believe this is some kind of rap curse, want to stop this. Pink raps against Amade, until he can break the others free.
Next, Bashin battles with Amade. He's unhappy with the way Amade treats all of his spirits as disposable. Still, he nearly loses until drawing Royal Potion, which he slipped into his deck by accident after grabbing it from Aibou. After losing, instead of giving away an X-Rare card like he's supposed to, Amade gives Bashin a fake "eclair" card and runs off.
My Sunshine is thankful to everyone for helping her. She decides she'll just have to face her problems.
Meanwhile, Number Nine meets with Number Eight. They decide to have a brief battle, which Nine wins. Because Eight loses, she has to take the role of watching over the chosen card battlers. She decides to become Bashin's new teacher.
Later, My Sunshine is about to perform her new song. She first comes out in her rap look, but it was just a joke, and she performs normally.
Battle Spirits Lecture Segment[]
The red magic, Double Hearts is featured. This can add an additional symbol to a spirit, meaning it can take an additional life when it attacks.
