- Kisara knocks out Ukita and fights Takeda by herself. Kenichi and Miu arrive in time to prevent Koga from breaking Ukita's arm. Kenichi fights every gang member while Miu fights with Kisara. Ending up trapped Kenichi successfully defends himself with one of Sakaki's advanced techniques. Miu knocks out Kisara. Kenichi is then saved by the arrival of Niijima who has been secretly forming his own gang to take on Ragnarok, the Shinpaku Alliance, and plans on making Kenichi his Assault Commander. (en)
- All of Kenichi's attacks seem to have no effect on Shinnosuke. Even though Kenichi is stronger, his opponent has more fighting experience. Kensei stops Miu from interfering because it would hurt Kenichi's pride. Kenichi becomes careless and is knocked to the ground; Shinnosuke prepares to break his leg but Takeda comes to the rescue. Takeda carries Kenichi back to the Ryōzanpaku Dojo while Kensei secretly helps by preventing Shinnosuke's gang from following. To Kenichi's dismay his masters all criticize him for being defeated, because it will lead to further defeats. Niijima continues to spread his manipulated version of the news throughout the whole school. After his defeat has been revealed to everyone, he is constantly chased around by school delinquents. The masters decide that Kenichi should be taken in as a true disciple of the Ryōzanpaku Dojo, meaning he should live there permanently. (en)
