Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* You will notice an important drop in image quality from the episode 44 and onwards, due to a forced device replacement (the previous phone was stolen). I would suggest then setting the video quality at the max 720p in order to make it bearable.
* The main prep for Quale's battle in this episode consisted of gaining levels for Eiko, Vivi and Quina to make the battle easier.
