The ninth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Gekiha Dan
The purple soldier Mai seeks a rematch with a card battler she once lost to.
Summary[]
At a card stand, a girl is taking on various opponents.
Meanwhile, Clackey is getting tired of walking, so Zungurii decides to just carry him and Dan. The ride ends abruptly when they discover a card stand. This is the same stand where the girl, Mai, is battling, and Dan wants to be her next opponent. However, she'll only face an opponent with a green deck.
It turns out, Clackey is a fan of Mai, a famous Battle Spirits blogger. Dan isn't familiar with her. He wonders what she's doing in Grand Rolo, and Magisa answers that she's the purple soldier.
Mai and her butler, Serge, allow Dan and the others to ride in their ship, the Violet. There, Mai explains to them the opponent she wants to beat. His name is Kousuke, and he uses The HeavyArmoredBug Caterbarga. He defeated her in the last tournament.
The group arrives at a new card stand, where Mai finds an opponent who uses Caterbarga. She agrees to battle him. The two begin to have a normal battle, but when she realizes this might be Kousuke, Mai decides they'll continue their battle on the real battlefield. There, Kousuke removes his mask and confirms his identity.
Kousuke reveals that he's an obsessive fan of Mai. He actually wanted Mai to seek revenge on him, so that she would give more focus to him than any of her other fans.
Using her curse deck, Mai turns the battle around, and defeats Kousuke this time. Afterwards, Dan invites Mai to join with them, to save Zungurii's family. She agrees that she'll accompany them to their destination.
