Beyblade

Beybattle at the Bit Beast Corral (2x37)

Air date: Sep 23, 2002

Fed up with all the recent attempts by Zagart and others to acquire the BladeBreakers Bit Beasts for sinister purposes, The Saint Shields decide to take action. Having already acquired Ray's Bit-Beast Driger in an earlier match, the Saint Shields confront our heroes again. They challenge the BladeBreakers to a match at an abandoned amusement park. The BladeBreakers know that if they lose, The Saint Shields will seal their Bit Beasts away forever in a mysterious rock to prevent them from being used for evil. Despite this, the team accepts the challenge. In the amusement park's Wild West area, Mariam and Max are the first to engage in battle. The match goes back and forth as their Bit Beasts take giant form and thrash about the Wild West saloon. It ends in a draw, and the combatants try again. Over the course of the second battle, Max's bond with Draciel makes Mariam realize she and her Bit Beast Sharkrash share an equal closeness. Max's determination not just to win, but to fight for the return of Ray's Bit Beast Driger culminates in Mariam's defeat. But she's not as upset as losing as she thought she'd be. Mariam realizes how much Max has taught her about treating her own Bit-Beast with respect, and how the determination of an entire team can overcome any obstacle.
