Episode Title: "Coldhearted Foes"
Description: Zatch is stricken with a fever yet accompanies Kiyo to school. Friction abounds between the two over that decision and during the argument, Zatch passes out due to complications from the fever and is admitted to the school nurse. Kiyo is then visited by Apollo, who informs him that he has inherited his father's company as CEO after Rops had returned to the Mamodo world. The backstory shows that he and Rops were confronted by the Zatch lookalike in Holland. The enemy and his partner were able to outsmart them move for move, making Apollo suspect that the human partner can somehow foresee his actions. Ultimately, the Mamodo eliminated Rops without penitence. Apollo concludes with Zeno being the lookalike's name, and Kiyo shares his vow to defeat Zeno and his partner in Rops' honor. Zatch is startled awake after enduring a premonition of Zeno and returns to Kiyo, who obliquely regards it as a fever dream yet tells him to maintain his push through the tournament.
