Synopsis: It's Ranma and J Genesis's Match next. While Ranma studied what he could on J Genesis Play Style...J Genesis, however, has an ability called Mirror.....
Gar Trio appears.
Gar Trio: We're The Gar Trio!!!
Garcat: In the previous match, Rouga tried to overthrow Hou by increasing his life points and destroying his hand.
Gardog: But then, out of nowhere, Hou summons two monsters, which confused everyone in shock.
Garbird: It was then revealed that it's to build up for his final spell, Immortal Draknight. Enabling Hou to survive the turn.
Gardog: Our leader withstood the onslaught like a man before summoning us into battle and crushing him.
Garcat: It was a sight to see, but we must also focus on today's match. It's Ranma vs J Genesis. Say it with me. Buddy...
Gar Trio: FIGHT.
OP: Jo No Ka.
In one of the waiting rooms, Ranma is adjusting his deck. While doing so, he studies J Genesis's playstyle through videos on his phone.
Ranma: Impact Monsters, huh? Of all things I've seen, this is something I never thought I would see with my own eyes.
He then heard his door being knocked on. He opens it, and Hou & Garga are outside.
Ranma: Hey, what's good, man?
Hou: Nothing much. Came to wish you good luck. (Notices his deck) Oh, I shouldn't have come.
Ranma: (looks back) About my deck? That's okay, man. Come In.
As the three of them observed Ranma's deck.
Ranma: I studied what I could on J Genesis. Not just his playstyle but his info too.
Hou Ren: He is the former head of the Gaen Financial Group. He was once arrested for using the previous WBC cup to Auction Off an instrument of war.
Garga: A merchant of death, so to speak.
Ranma: (surprised) How did you... Never mind. Still, how did he go back to Kyoya's side?
Garga: I don't know. But... if my assumptions are correct, they probably made a deal between each other.
Hou: He's tough.
Ranma: Yeah... Aside from that, one more thing.
Hou Ren: What is it?
Ranma: Should we both make it to the SEMIs, I want to face you again with all my might. No drama whatsoever. Just me and you. Buddyfight. (holds up a fist)
Hou Ren: (Mesmerized at first, but smiles) It's a promise then. (fists bump his best friend)
Destroyer then appears in his cloud form.
Destroyer: Don't forget about me as well, Gargantua Dragon. You and I may have beaten each other in the past, but I will not lose if we win.
Garga: Destroyer...
Destroyer: But... as I'm Ranma's buddy, I share the same reason with him. I have no intentions for world annihilation.
Garga: By all means, may fortune smile upon you both, and we'll see you in the SemiFinals.
Meanwhile, on J Genesis's side, J Genesis was observing Kyoya's whereabouts and plans.
J: Change the world, he says... I should consider myself lucky that I am still here... but this plan of his... Aragami is right... should I? (remembers the deal he made with Kyoya)...Hmmmm.
Gemclone's SD form appears beside him.
J: What's wrong, Gemclone?
Gemclone: Father, if we should lose....what's going to happen to both of us?
J: Don't worry, we'll be fine. To be honest, when you look up to me as your father, I was very stunned, but in the end, I now see your love for me, and I look at you as my own son.
Gemclone: (Touched) Father...
J: Come, we have a match to settle. We'll decide what to do later.
Gemclone: Okay.
J Genesis: (Thought) Funny thing is, I already decided. (Thought)
And now outcomes the main event. Ion once again appears.
Ion: ALRIGHT, folks. It's time for today's match. Am I pumped or what? Is Everyone Ready to watch today's intensive fight?

Ranma: Hou, I'll see you soon, man. (fist out) Wait for me.
Hou Ren: (fist back) I hear you. Don't hold back, okay.
Ranma: You got it. (Turns to Vile Ranma) Now let's get started.

Hou Ren: (Holding his phone in landscape manner) How is this? Can you see?
It is revealed that Hou Ren is showing Tasuku the match live through a video call.
Tasuku: Yes, I can. Thank you, Hou. J Genesis, huh? I never thought I would see him again.
Jack: He was once arrested, and now he's back. Why is he working with Kyoya again?
Tasuku: Moreover, New Impact Monsters, too. Did he copy even more cards?
Hou Ren: If I'm not mistaken, he calls it "Hard Impact Tactics," correct?
Jack: Indeed. A strategy that only uses Impact Cards.
Tasuku: Let's just hope Ranma knows what he's doing.
Back to the fight.
Vile Ranma: (Pays 2 gauge and holds up his flag) BEHOLD....Cover The Flag....Lost World Reborn!!!!
Ranma's Flag is changed.

J Genesis: (Chuckles) Cast. Artificial Talisman: ARMS REST. Iregeit is forced to rest. And since I'm Impact Transformed, I also rest your remaining cards.
Vile Ranma: What?
All of Vile Ranma's cards are forced to rest.
Ion: Unbelievable, Ranma's cards are immobilized right before attacking.
J Genesis: You're pathetic. I've seen your fights a lot of times, and you expect me to be like the ones you defeat? You shouldn't even be worthy of the Lost World Flag.
Destroyer & Vile Ranma: (Angry) What did you say?
Vile Ranma: Don't make light of me. Cast. Dimension Wave. I destroy Destroyer.
Destroyer is destroyed.
Ion: With Destroyer destroyed, that means...
Vile Ranma: Vile Demonic Deity Dragon, Vanity Epoch Destroyer REB to the center.
Vanity Epoch Destroyer REB enters.
Vile Ranma: Ability activates.
Destroyer: Dimension Door, Impetus Break. Fall From Sight, Origin Cloak. (Destroys Origin Cloak)
J Genesis: Curse You.
Vile Ranma: Even if you Impact Transformed, it still counts as a card. Sounds like you're unworthy of yourself.
Ion: Unbelievable. J Genesis's Origin Cloak just went Kaput. Incredible.
Vile Ranma: Cast. Dimension Jamming. Discard 2 cards from your hand. Destroyer, attack the fighter.
Destroyer: I shall grant that wish. (Attacks)
J Genesis's Life: 8 -> 5
Destroyer: Double Attack. Take this. (Attacks)
J Genesis: Cast. I've seen through your moves. (Blocks)
Ranma: Tch. My turn is over.
Ion: Despite the disadvantage, Vile Ranma was able to wipe out J Genesis's cornerstone of attacks. And now he has the advantage of having more life points than him. Now let's see how J Genesis responds.
J Genesis: You seem to be handling yourself just fine. But not for long. (Holds out a card) Final Phase.
Vile Ranma notices something bad.
J Genesis: Once again, Impact Transform. (Transformed) Origin Cloak.
Ion: Wowowowowowow. J Genesis just transformed back.
Vile Ranma: Cast. Dragotrap. Origin Cloak cannot attack.
J Genesis: Waste of time. (Holds a card) Fake Replica Weapon, Gemclone REB. Impact Buddycall to the right.
Gemclone REB appears.
J Genesis: Attribute Null. Size 0. Power 0. Defense 1000. Critical of 0.
Ion: Here it is. Gemclone.
Hou Ren: In terms of Material used, Gemclone was built using a rare metal known as "Gem".
Shiloh: Huh?
Garga: A rare metal that can ONLY be found in the far reaches of Hero World.
Shiloh: Whoa...
Vile Ranma: I've been waiting for this. Come.
J Genesis: Cast. Hyper Energy. (Ability) I gain 4 gauge. I pay 1 gauge and activate Gemclone REB's ability. I transform Gemclone... into Bal Burst Smasher.
Jack & Tasuku: Wha???
Gemclone just transformed into Bal Burst Smasher. Everyone's surprised.
Hou: Bal Burst Smasher???
Jack & Tasuku: BAL !!!
Tasuku: No. It's not him. In fact, the real Bal is currently in slumber.
J Genesis: Gemclone REB's ability. Impact Monsters that were transformed by it gain 5000 power & defense. Critical + 1. Now, to activate Origin Cloak's ability. Once Again, Impact Transform.
J Genesis is wrapped in a whirlwind and all of a sudden, he comes out as....
J Genesis: Mirror Hero, Mukuro "Infinite Death Crest"
Everyone's shocked.
Vile Ranma: How do you Impact Transform twice in one turn???
Tasuku: Moreover, Mukuro's an Omni Lord. So why?
Garga: It's strange...I sense no life in it. It's just a mere shell.
Hou: An Impostor? But how?
J Genesis: Origin Cloak allows me to transform twice in one turn. And by twice, I meant into Super Warriors only. And what you see right now is me inheriting Lord Mukuro's power. But first, Bal Burst Smasher. Attack the fighter.
Ion: Bal Burst Smasher's attack cannot be nullified. What will Vile Ranma do?
Vile Ranma: Cast. Dimension Life Stream. I gain 10 life.
Vile Ranma's Life: 5 -> 15 -> 10
J Genesis: I...Have No Enemies. (Attacks)
Vile Ranma's Life: 10 -> 7
Vile Ranma: I survived.
J Genesis: Pride goes before a fall. Mukuro's ability. Smasher and I....STAND.
All: WHAT?
J Genesis: I admit, you aren't a waste of time. But compared to your Lost World, you're only wielding a toy when facing raw power. You're a waste of space, and you're not worthy of being the user of Lost World.
Vile Ranma: Why you...
J Genesis: Face the facts. Why do you think your friend beat you? Why weren't you able to evolve like him? It's simple. You're weak.
Destroyer: That's Enough. If you want to insult my buddy further, I won't let you.
J Genesis: Insulting? I'm merely speaking the facts. In fact, how are you going to defend him? I'm going to guess that his last hand card is not a defense spell. Thus, enabling you to be unable to defend.
Destroyer: No...
J Genesis: Ranma Kakogawa...You really should take better care next time.
Bal Burst Smasher and Genesis lands the final blow. And thus, Vile Ranma yells as he loses and his flag is destroyed.
Hou Ren & Garga & Destroyer: RANMA!!!!!!
Ion: Game End. Winner. J Genesis.
The crowd cheers.
Ion: Amazing. J Genesis destroyed Ranma in just two turns. He unleashed new Impact Monsters and won against Vile Ranma like no tomorrow.
While everyone is surprised, Hou Ren, Garga & Destroyer immediately go check on the knocked out and wounded Ranma.
Hou Ren: Are you okay?
Garga: Come On, Say Something.
Destroyer then softly touched his chest.
Destroyer: He's still alive, but he needs to heal first.
Hou Ren: Oh...Oh my goodness...
Meanwhile, J Genesis looked at the four and walked away without looking back.
Hou Ren: (Calm Anger) J Genesis...
Genesis and Gemclone then met up with Kyoya.
Kyoya: You did well, Mister J. I expected nothing less.
J Genesis: Yeah....whatever. I hope what I did pleases you. (Walks away in annoyance)
In a flashback, it is revealed that Kyoya wants J Genesis to absolutely go tryhard and demolish his opponent so that he can gather energy for him. When J Genesis refused, he offered to fire him and make sure he would never amount to anything in life.
Kyoya: Yes....it was. (Laughs calmly)
At One Of The Hospital Wards, Ranma slowly wakes up from his coma in his bed. Hou is standing beside the bed.
Hou Ren: You alright?
Ranma: Hou... I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise.
Hou Ren: (Softly taps his shoulder) It's okay. You did well.
Ranma: Yeah... I was sure I knew his strategy, and then poof. I was defeated.
Hou Ren: The worst part is that he mocked you. Unbelievable.
Ranma: Kinda reminds me of you back at that sanctuary of yours.
Hou Ren: (Blushes) Hey. You don't have to rub it in.
Ranma: (Chuckles) My bad. But what am I going to do? I'm knocked out and well...
Hou Ren: Just lay low. We're still on the job, but for now, leave the rest to me.
Ranma feels slightly stunned, but then...
Ranma: Win this tournament. Okay?
Hou Ren: Sure thing. (Clenching his fists) J Genesis... He's going to pay...
Garga: (In worry) Hou...
ED: B.O.F.
