Jiro Takes A Stand is the thirty-first episode aired in the Blue Dragon (anime).
Synopsis[]
Upon learning about Blue Dragon gaining a new move, Nene sends General Szabo to the capital of Galga to attack Shu and co. while General Logi is off duty. The next destination is the Minotaur Ruins, but Jiro said that his village was burned to the ground and he leaves for a walk. While looking out near a lake, he is attacked by General Szabo. This time, General Szabo unleashes his Mighty Quartet to assist him. Minotaur manages to pull off a retreat to get Jiro out of there. After a brief talk with Kluke, Jiro gets attacked General Szabo and his Mighty Quartet. Shu and Kluke arrive at the scene of the attack as General Szabo merges with his Mighty Quartet to form Ultimate Szabo. As Shu unleashes Blue Dragon, General Szabo unleashes a giant robot to fight Blue Dragon. Zola, Marumaro, and Bouquet arrive just as Blue Dragon breaks the giant robot's left hand. Jiro and Minotaur knock Ultimate Szabo into the lake. After some attacks from Ultimate Szabo, Jiro and Minotaur create their own whirlpool and eventually destroys Ultimate Szabo (with the Minotaur statue in its ruins breaking) as Shu and Blue Dragon destroy the giant robot. Delphinium tells General Logi that Blue Dragon and Minotaur have gotten stronger and part of the Extra Seven has been deciphered by Shu and Co.
