The first episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Gekiha Dan
A boy named Dan Bashin is drawn into the world of Grand Rolo.
Summary[]
The episode opens with an announcer introducing Grand Rolo.
In the real world, Dan Bashin and Kajitsu Momose were battling at a tournament, with several other card battlers watching. Many were impressed to see The IronKnight Yggdrasill, a rare and powerful spirit.
During the match, time seemed to freeze, and Dan sensed a battle between The ThunderDragonEmperor Siegwurm and The IronKnight Yggdrasill. During this time, the core started to glow.
Dan lost the battle, but went to chase after Kajitsu once it's over. On his way, he met another boy, Yuuki Momose, who helped lead him to her. Kajitsu summoned green butterflies, which drag Dan into a portal.
In Grand Rolo, a village was under attack by soldiers who follow Otherworld King. Many of the inhabitants were taken captive. Nonbirii, one of its inhabitants, tried pleading to Kazan, who led the attacks. Kazan, however, stated that Nobirii lost a battle to him, and so they must comply to the rules. Magisa, the witch protecting Otherworld, arrived then. However, even she wasn't enough to stop the soldiers.
It was then when Dan fell from the sky. Magisa sensed right away that he was one of the bearers of core's light. Kazan ordered that he be taken to see the king. While Dan sturggled to escape from the soldiers, he overheard Kazan mocking Nonbirii's deck. Believing that a card battler put their life into building a deck, he couldn't accept that. He challenged Kazan to a battle, who accepted under the terms that he use Nonbirii's deck. If Dan won the battle, Kazan would withdraw from the village.
Magisa taught Dan how to enter Grand Rolo's battlefield. There, he was given his battle form, a card battler uniform. Along with Magisa, Nonbirii and his brother Zungurii came to watch the match. As he battled Kazan, Dan was amazed to see how battles in Grand Rolo differed from his world.
Thanks to drawing The ThunderEmperorDragon Siegwurm, he was able to win the battle. Kazan left once he was defeated, asking Dan's name before he went.
