Bamboo Blade

Kojiro, coach of Muroe High's kendo club, makes a bet with another coach on a match between their teams, but the fighters must be five girls.

Tamaki's relationships with other club members develop when they start having lunch together and sharing their boxed lunches.

Toraj nicknames Sayako Kuwahara as the team's Blue; the club members go shopping for protective gear; a painful encounter with Miyako's Black.

Miyako learns that the girl she had thrown in the lake was actually her senpai in the club; Sayako is convinced to rejoin the team.

The day of the match arrives, but the Machido High Kendo Club is awfully delayed; Toraji tries to think of a strategy, but he is distracted.

After the club wins the kendo tournament, Tamaki is challenged by Ishibashi; Toraji's thoughts of sushi tempt him to taint his match.
