Episode Title:
Runaway Daichi.
Episode Description:
Takao is the first athlete to become beyblade champion for a third time and Daichi is jealous that he is getting all the attention. He decides the only way he can get the respect he deserves is to go on a training mission and come back and defeat Takao on his own. Kyojyu eventually meets him and tells him of an upcoming show of popstar Ming-Ming. Later, he hitches a ride on a truck and falls asleep but wakes up far away from home, alone and hungry. Eventually he runs into Max and his father who invite him back to their house for dinner. During the meal Max squirts mustard on Daichi's steak telling him it will make it taste better. This disgusts Daichi, and in his anger he insults Max and his father. Max is offended and challenges Daichi to a Beyblade battle. The match is a close one and Daichi is confident he can beat Max but he ends up beaten himself. He decides that the only way he can become a better Blader is to start training with Max. Meanwhile, Takao discovers Daichi is gone and wonders why and where his Blading partner has gone.
