Battle B-Daman: Fire Spirits!
Gill Scorpion first debuted with its owner, Haja, in an Ultimate Strike challenge, where they had to knock down a row of pillars, and the player to knock down the most wins. Gill Scorpion showed its quick-reload ability, but was at a disadvantage when loading from that point, due to the fact that it wasn't on the ground and the barrel didn't fill, so the Strike Shot would keep falling out. With the Strike Shot, Gill Scorpion was shown to have immense power, having enough to knock down all but three pillars.
