Beyblade

The Gargole's Trap (7x17)

Air date: Jul 29, 2012

After the merciless taunts by Akuya, Zero engages him in battle to prove who will really win. As the Bladers "Go Shoot!" the members of Akuya's group join as well. They intend on helping out Akuya and taking down Zero, even it means an unfair fight for the Blader of Fire. As they're battling the Zero-G Stadium, every Beyblade assaults and barrages Samurai Ifraid. Hitting Ifraid that it is thrown back by force and still can't seem to find anywhere to go. The pressure builds onto Zero, with Mal attempting to figure out just what is going wrong this time. Any direction that Ifraid takes, it is attacked. One by one, every Beyblade keeps attacking Ifraid that Zero needs something, something to change the odds. Desperate for help, with Mal still researching, Zero needs to fight back, hard. Meanwhile, outside BeyPark are Shinobu Hiryūin and Sakyo Kuroyami. Upon a challenge requested by Sakyo, Shinobu does battle as they lauch their Beyblades into combat. With Shinobi Saramanda armed against Dark Knight Dragooon. Zero is still having a very difficult time in his Beybattle. The Beys just keep on coming, all armed and ready to destroy Ifraid. All of a sudden, Mal figures out the motives behind the beys. Akuya's bey, Archer Gargole, performance tip appears to allow the Stadium in its advantage, yet Zero can still win by using a comeback from force. Thankful for the tip, Zero uses it as Ifraid is knocked up in the air by an opposing Bey; then the real match begins. Ifraid quickly hits the other bey and forces it back, using the same strategy. It does the same for every other beyblades, intending to use their own strategy against them. Ifraid then dashes in one direction and uses Burning Upper to defeat Gargole giving Zero the win. Shinobu is expiericng similar difficulty to what Zero had in his own. Dragooon just seems so full of power that Saramanda is trying to hold on, but just can't. Takanosuke spectates and amazed at Dragooon's power, yet also fearing Saramanda's loss. Upon the advent of the battle, Zero and Mal exit and sprint away to the battle of Shinobu versus Sakyo. Having the urge to get there to find out just who Sakyo is, Zero needs to be there and support Shinobu with Mal by his side as well. Unfortunately, as they arrive they see Shinobu and Sakyo use all their power and fury and command their respective beys to attack one another. A huge dust storm appears and when it clears, Zero and Mal find the beast of Dragooon, roaring in the terrifying dusk.
