A kendo tournament becomes a grudge match when Miyako battles her rival for Donny and Tamaki finally encounters an opponent who can match her skill level.

Tamaki and Rin both love Blade Braver, but their favorite characters are mortal enemies. When the girls visit the show’s set, an animated rivalry spills into reality.

Yuuji invites Tamaki to the amusement park for what may - or may not be - a date. If love is in the air, it’ll have to take a backseat to Blade Braver!

Tamaki joins the kendo team and makes short work of a sadistic bully with a thing for beating up on girls.

Miyako agrees to a Kendo showdown with a pushy American - winner gets Donny! Miya-miya fights from the heart, but the foreigner attacks with a highly advanced technique.

Tamaki uncharacteristically unleashes a devastating attack, and Toraji makes an honorable - but difficult - decision. If the team is destined to win, it will be up to Kirino to make it so.

The opposing team dishonors kendo and the spirit of fair play to keep Tamaki from competing in the final match, but they only succeed in strengthening her will to win.

The kendo team is in top form at the preliminary tournament. They only need to win one more match to advance, but their opponent is notorious for dirty tricks.

Everyone is excited about the upcoming kendo training camp. Well, maybe not everyone. Tamaki’s father is having a tough time letting go of his little girl.

Even though she loves Kendo, Azuma is still hesitant to join the club, but after Miyako pays her a little visit, she may change her mind.

Azuma feels like she’s really becoming part of the team after a practice match with Tamaki rekindles her love of kendo.

Kirino and Sayako literally drag Azuma to the school’s dojo. She proves to be a strong fighter, but there’s a reason she gave up kendo.

Kirino gets a tip that Tamaki isn’t the only kendo prodigy in school. If she can convince the new girl to join the team, it might save the sensei’s job.

The team competes in its first big tournament, and a strange girl’s sudden appearance makes Miyako uneasy.

Down and out kendo instructor Toraji can’t even afford a new light bulb - let alone lunch, but discovering a prodigy like Tamaki might change his fortunes.

Leaving behind the good news that Captain Judith is still alive, the Atra-Hasis continues its journey towards Jupiter. Suddenly, as the ship's power is cut off, hundreds of thousands of Nergals appear out of nowhere. Among them, there's one that is at least ten times larger than normal, and on top of it is...

Back on Earth, the Gandharva was found near the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean. However, the top brass is just concerned about the budget and wants to salvage Gandharva because they consider it's a useful weapon. Not satisfied with their decision, one man decides to organize a rescue team in secret.

As Atra-Hasis entered the Trojan Asteroid Belt, its crew began searching for any traces of survivors from the last war. During one of such duties, the girls found a shining object they named Fluffy. But from that moment, strange things began to happen...

On the way to Jupiter, the girls have to stop by Mars to look for a way to repair the Atra-Hasis' mobile Divine Grace plant. They arrived at the ruins of the ancient alien people who created the White Giant...

After the last Nergal invasion, the energy transmission system connecting the White Giant to Atra-Hasis was badly damaged, which forced them to change course to Mars. Accompanying them is the Destroyer Normandy and its captain, Lieutenant Colonel Peterson, a war hero who fought in the Battle of Mars.
