Next up for the reunited kendo club is a tournament ripe for revenge. Miyako gets a chance to silence her rival, and Tamaki is destined for a rematch with Rin!

After Miyako and Tamaki resign, Kirino does her best to hold the kendo club together. But even she can’t handle a downtrodden sensei and a looming suspension.

Tamaki’s stunning loss to Rin crushed the morale of the kendo club, and things only get worse when the principal summons Toraji to his office for a less-than-pleasant chat.

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.
