Synopsis[]
Ryotaro and Hana pursue two Imagin attacking martial artists, one to eliminate rivals while another only to prove its own strength against other opponents.
Plot[]
Ryotaro encounters a person possessed by an Imagin who was strong enough to defeat Momotaros. The next day, Ryotaro and Hana arrive at the Milk Dipper, learning from Ozaki that there have been mysterious attacks on martial artists, all who were involved in last year's karate tournament.
Their search leads them to the dojo of Shinji Kikuchi, the winner of last year's tournament. Ryotaro later faces Masaru Honjo, the host of the Imagin who was able to defeat him earlier, with a match between Den-O and the gold Imagin.
