The twenty-first episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin.
Noticing how off Bashin, who still hasn't apologized to Meganeko has been, Striker decides he needs Valentines chocolate to feel better.
Summary[]
Bashin drops Meganeko's diary off at her house, but leaves before she can see him.
The next day, Bashin and Striker meet at the park to have a battle. Similarly to in Bashin's last battle with Suiren, his playing is off. This time, he's not able to save himself, and loses the match. Striker finds his behavior odd, and even more so after the battle, when Bashin forgets how to get back to his house.
Later, Striker talks to Suiren and the pets about Bashin. Wanting to do something for Bashin, he suggests that Suiren give him chocolates, because Valentine's Day is coming up. None of the pets really think that will help though, and Suiren points out that she never intended to give anyone chocolate.
Striker puts a plan into motion, and Bashin finds mass amounts of chocolate falling from the sky, which he realizes is from J's family. He hopes that Kyouka gave them to him, but actually, it was J. Striker, who was unhappy with the way J handled it, starts to get into a fight with him, and Bashin is left alone with the pile of chocolate.
Suiren appears, as she got out of work just to battle Bashin (and defeat him) as a Valentines present. She does defeat Bashin, but afterwards, she's still upset over Bashin's attitude. Bashin thinks that he can't apologize to Meganeko, however, because she's not a card battler, and they wouldn't be able to understand each other.
Back at the studio, Suiren, who became My Sunshine again, thinks about what Bashin said, and wonders how he and Meganeko could make up. She's called out to appear on Battle Spirits TV.
Meganeko is at home, depressed. Her grandfather finds her, and using an unopened book as an example, tries to show her that there are still things about herself that she can discover. This gives her an idea.
Bashin goes to watch Battle Spirits TV, where Commentator-san rants on over the fact that he's single and got nothing for Valentine's Day. My Sunshine then comes on, and says that she wasn't thinking about Valentine's Day, because she got into a fight with her manager. She states that she wants to keep trying to communicate with him until they can come to an understanding. Realizing she was actually referring to him and Meganeko, Bashin decides to go out and talk to her. When he gets to her house though, she isn't there.
Meganeko, actually, went to Card Sensei's house. She gives him chocolate and comes inside. Meganeko reveals that she knows he's a Nazo-Otona, and therefore, wants him to teach her Battle Spirits. Card Sensei wants to object to her, but Guraguri reveals to Meganeko that he can speak, and accepts for Card Sensei.
As for Bashin, though he couldn't find Meganeko, he's determined to face her eventually.
Battle Spirits Lecture Segment[]
