This information involved the medals being created by an ancient civilization that existed before humankind did. This information was also discovered by the Rubberobo Gang's leader. Miss Caviar informs Dr. Aki about a strong transmission coming from the Miyami Ruins and the use of the Terakado satellites that are broadcasting the transmission across the world. The transmission is coming from the pulses done to the Hercules Beetle Medal that is affecting the clone medals as the transmission causes Brass, Kantaroth, and the Medabot Corporation's Tankars to go on a rampage causing Dr. Aki to postulate that someone is trying to recreate a terrible event that occurred eight years ago. The Rubberobo Gang's leader gives a transmission revealing his motive and will give the world leaders 30 minutes to decide to surrender the world to him or else humanity will be wiped out. As Ikki and his allies arrive in the lair, they learn that the Rubberobo Gang's leader is called Dr. Meta-Evil who used to work with Professor Hushi.

Mr. Referee holds a press conference regarding the final eight matches. Team USA will be going up against Team Egypt, Team USA will be going up against Team Czech Republic, Team Kenya will be going up against Team Canada, and Team Iceland will be going up against Team England. Patra of Team Egypt claims that Team Japan has a weak link. Koji thinks that the weak link is Spike who is the latest person to pose as Space Medafighter X. His training on Spyke and Krosserdog does not go well. In his latest encounter with Patra, Ikki learns of an event called the Ten Days of Darkness that happened years ago. When Ikki asks Henry of it, he gives him a video of the World Robattle Tournament that led to the Ten Days of Darkness. To Ikki's dismay, someone taped over it with a gardening show. Before the match, Patra is visited by Joe Swihan of Team USA as they know each other. During the match between Metabee, Sumilodon, and Krosserdog against Patra's Cleopatra-type Medabot Cleobattler and Al and Hassan's mummy-type Medabot T-Mummy, Spyke struggles to help Koji and Ikki. It is during this time that Patra reveals that Koji is the true weakest link. With Koji shocked by this revelation, Krosserdog takes down the T-Mummy while Metabee uses the Medaforce to defeat Cleobattler winning Team Japan the match. When Ikki demands that Patra answers his question about the Ten Days of Darkness, Joe arrives and informs him that the Henry that Patra and Joe know and his Metabee were responsible.

Continuing from the last episode, Joe Swihan has mentioned that Henry and his Metabee were responsible as a flashback was seen where Joe, Patra, and her previously-owned Egyptian-type Medabot Kingpharaoh witnessed this. Afterwards, Team USA goes into their match against Team Czech Republic consisting of Čapek and his tin toy-type Medabot Mokusei Dai-Oh and his two unnamed teammates who each own retro-type Medabots R-Robby. As Ikki asks Dr. Aki if he has seen Henry around, Dr. Aki states that he hasn't and that the Robo-Emperor that's in his house was stolen by the Rubberobo Gang. Back at the World Robattle Cup, Team USA has come out on top. In the parking lot, Čapek asks Joe for his medal back. He does so only for it to be snatched by the unnamed Rubberobo Gang members. Joe goes after them while having Patra tend to Čapek. As Koji does some training by the seashore, he is confronted by Karin in her Rubberobo Gang alias of Guppy as she brings out Robo-Emperor as she claims that she took Karin hostage using a dummy of her to play the real Karin. Joe arrives and mistakes Karin as an actual Rubberobo Gang member as he and his native-type Medabot Wigwamo attack Karin and Robo-Emperor (who was housing Neutranurse's medal). In the nick of time, Space Medafighter X arrives and saves Karin. Recognizing Space Medafighter X as the Henry he knows, Joe challenges him to a Robattle while blaming him for the Ten Days of Darkness as Space Medafighter X states that he will be at the tournament. When it comes to the match against Team Japan and Team USA, the Select Corps is present to prevent Space Medafighter X from fleeing after the match as Victor and the mysterious woman he interacted with watch the match. Joe, J-Girl, and Glen unleash their Wigwamo against Metabee, Sumilodon, and Arcbeetle where the Wigwamo use their high speed abilities on them. With two of the Wigwamo defeated, Joe's Wigwamo uses its Destroy Mirage move which Joe was saving in the event that he faces off against Victor. Metabee summons the Medaforce in order to attack it only for Wigwamo to evade it. Though Joe's Wigwamo was caught off guard when Sumilodon summons the Medaforce and scores victory for Team Japan. As the Select Corps prepare to arrest Space Medafighter X for causing the Ten Days of Darkness, Space Medafighter X does a disappearing act. Joe plans to learn the truth behind the Ten Days of Darkness someday.

Erika decides to interview Team Iceland who will be going up against Team Kenya after their respectful victories. She meets Belmont, his killer whale-type Medabot Orkamar, and his teammates Heckla and Batona and their giant squid-type Medabots Aviking where they are working on digging up a hot spring. Two different incidents have caused Belmont to fall into the water. The next day, Belmont has come down with a fever. Erika tries to speak to Victor in order to get him to postpone the match until Belmont recovers only to decline and that Belmont should forfeit instead. Afterwards, Brass is approached by Warbandit who has some information for her. When it comes to the match between Team Iceland and Team Kenya, the stage is set to include a half-water stage. During the match, both Aviking managed to subdue Rhinorush and Goriongo. Because of Belmont's illness, Orkamar struggles against Warbandit and is defeated. Victor claims Orkamar's medal much to Erika's dismay as Victor states that he's only following the rules. When the chairman of the World Medabot Federation and three of its members arrive to give a speech that will lead into Team Japan's match against Team Kenya, Ikki is surprised that they are actually Seaslug, Gillgirl, Squidguts, and Shrimplips in disguise.

Dr. Aki is not sure why Sumilodon is able to summon the Medaforce and hopes that it will be enough to defeat the Rubberobo Gang. After visiting Belmont at the hospital, he finds that his school is going to cheer him on. Victor meets with the disguised Rubberobo Gang members where he gives them the medals he won in exchange for cash which is witnessed by Rokusho who fails at reasoning with Victor. With Seaslug not answering her contacts, Miss Caviar stumbles into Dr. Aki's meeting with the Phantom Renegade and blackmails them to let her be the next person who poses as Space Medafighter X. After accidentally splashing Victor, Chidori invites him and Warbandit to her home as a guest. Following their meeting with Rokusho, Ikki and Metabee find Victor and Warbandit in their home. With Chidori excusing herself, Victor tells Ikki his experience during the Ten Days of Darkness where he lost his family and village when the local Medabots went on a rampage. This led Victor to be bitter from the experience and consider the Medabots as tools. After Victor leaves the Tenryou residence, everyone prepares for the big match.

Continuing from the last episode, Metabee and Warbandit have stopped moving for a moment. Despite being in critical condition, Metabee continues his fight with Warbandit. Just then, all the medals of the Medabots in the stadium start lighting up. Dr. Aki notes that the fail-safes in the tin pets should be preventing a repeat of the Ten Days of Darkness. Meanwhile, Rokusho and the Phantom Renegade find an antennae similar to the one that Dr. Meta-Evil's Medabot clone used. They get spotted by some unnamed Rubberobo Gang grunts and their Whitesword as Rokusho buys the Phantom Renegade time to get away. When Dr. Aki begs the disguised Rubberobo Gang members to stop the match, they will only do that if Ikki surrenders Metabee's medal to Victor. Warbandit prefers to finish his match with Metabee before he can help Victor retaliate. When Metabee and Warbandit bring out their Medaforce again, all the Medabots enter a trance. Seaslug, Gillgirl, Squidguts, and Shrimplips shed their disguises. Realizing that he has been played, Mr. Referee flees. As Dr. Meta-Evil also arrives with his cat Michael, Dr. Aki recognizes Dr. Meta-Evil as his and Professor Hushi's old colleague Dr. Armond. With Dr. Armond planning to take over the world, Dr. Aki tries to flee back to the Medabot Corporation only to discover that the Medadome has transformed into a flying fortress and now everyone is a hostage to the Rubberobo Gang.
"Waking to a Dream"

June 23, 2000
October 26, 2002
Metabee is in a dream state where a Sailor-Multi calls him Kyumo and takes him to a Samurai that informs him that the leader of an unnamed army is approaching with an army of several beetle-type Medabots Bayonet and several stag beetle-type Medabots Zorin. This dream involves the Medabots' past when it came to the ancient Medalorian civilization. Metabee fights several enemy Medalorians led by a Rokusho to the death at the cost of the Sailor-Multi he knows and other Medalorians on his side. While outlining his scheme for world domination, Dr. Armond dismisses Seaslug, Gillgirl, Squidguts, and Shrimplips from his services while also mentioning that he is a descendant of the Medalorians. Trying to wake Metabee up, Ikki ends up in the dream world where he successfully gets Metabee to wake up. Once that was done, all the Medabots come out of their trance as even the Whitesword used by the Rubberobo Gang revolt. Dr. Meta-Evil unleashes similar Medabot clones of himself to fight the assorted Medabots that also involve the Phantom Renegade's Arcbeetle, Patra's Cleobattler, and Joe Swihan's Wigwamo. When one Dr. Meta-Evil clone tries to hit Victor, Warbandit takes the blow and his body is destroyed. As Dr. Armond escapes, the Medadome crash-lands as everyone escapes. Dr. Armond returns in a giant-size baby-type Medabot Babbyblu.
"Metabee's Last Stand"

June 30, 2000
November 2, 2002
The Select Corps and their Air-Ptera are no match for the giant Babbyblu. Everyone else tries to take it down to no avail. Initiating a tactical retreat, Dr. Aki instructs Barton to initiate Plan G. This unleashes a giant Metabee that would run on the larger Medawatch that Dr. Aki gives Ikki. With Metabee not being strong enough to move the Giant Metabee, Brass, Sumilodon, Neutranurse, Peppercat, Krosserdog, Totalizer, and Kantaroth enter the cockpit to help run it. While still feeling down from being played, Mr. Referee receives some words of wisdom from the chick salesman as Mr. Referee begins the Robattle. Giant Metabee fights against Giant Babbyblu which is witnessed by Hannah and Oceana, Natalie and Octoclam, Paco and Pingen, Tom and Snowbro, the Ninja Park's presenter, the Old Master of the Sea, the Principal, Coach Mountain, Miss Mimosa, Mrs. Pimply, the Ankle Biters and Churleybear, Ainsley, Joe Swihan, Patra, the Rockers, the Gangster from "Running Scared" and his underlings, Mr. Richards, Kailey, Robinson, Baron von Banish, Kareem, Kintaro, the Student Council, Nathan, and Mr. Dragon. Rokusho recovers all the medals as Victor finds Warbandit's medal. All the Medaforce power is given to Giant Metabee, but it was unable to phase Giant Babbyblu. Metabee ejects the other Medabots and has Giant Metabee do a kamikaze strike on Giant Babbyblu enough to defeat it. After Dr. Armond and Michael had ejected at the last minute and plans to build a bigger robot, the same passerby shows up and tells him to admit defeat. Just then, an alien spaceship arrives. Professor Hushi shows up stating that the Medabots being consumed by Robattles is over as Michael sheds his helmet which contained a medal that was the descendant of the Medalorians. The passerby reveals himself to be an alien as Professor Hushi invites Dr. Armond to travel with him as Professor Hushi tells Rokusho that he will be away from Earth longer. He agrees as the passerby was revealed to have saved Metabee. After the aliens left with Professor Hushi and Dr. Amond, the Rubberobo Gang begins to disband. Seaslug is approached by Miss Caviar and wins him over as she dons a Rubberobo suit and takes up the alias of Miss Starfish where they both plan to open a supervillain consulting agency with Gillgirl, Squidguts, and Shrimplips watching from around the corner. Victor tells Ikki that he will Robattle him with honor next time. Henry provides the opportunity by giving Victor a new Warbandit tin pet and parts. Mr. Referee then prepares to officiate the Robattle between Metabee and Warbandit. During the credits not seen in the English dub, Victor has breakfast at Ikki's house, Erika's newspaper mentions Ikki's defeat implying that Victor defeated him, Metabee and Brass are studying in a classroom with Dr. Bokchoy as their teacher, Seaslug and Miss Starfish cause trouble, Belmont and Čapek are among those who get their medals back from Ikki and his friends, the Hop Mart closes, Henry and Arcbeetle move away, and Mr. Referee and the chick salesman are shown one final time.

Blu-ray Region A (North America)
The license was transferred to Discotek Media, a company known for rescuing other anime from other distributors. All of the following are SD Blu-rays that are meant to play the show in Standard Definition on a Blu-ray Disc, albeit the decreased amount of discs meaning convenience for collectors, thus it would be lower in price than the DVD release. They released all three seasons of the dub version (in the order Nelvana presented) from 2019 to 2021 with optional English SDH subtitles, and then release the sub version (in its order) later in the future.
On June 11, 2020, Justin Sevakis said Discotek Media were unable to find the masters for the English version of Medabots Spirits which has prevented the anime from being released on home video in North America.[8] Discotek Media has asked fans to help find the masters, and on September 14, 2020, they have found suitable masters, meaning Medabots Spirits would get its first-ever North American physical release on May 25, 2021.
