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.
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!
Tamaki doesn't know what to do when some freshmen show up to check out the kendo club. Kirino ponders life after high school, and a familiar face returns to the dojo.
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.
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.
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 make it so.
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'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.
Toraji tries to devise a strategy for winning the practice match, but all he can think of is sushi, so Tamaki teaches the team some basic kendo fundamentals.
