Episode Title:
There's No One in Our Way! Now is the Time to Settle the Fight!.
Episode Description:
Odin greets Kenichi as an old friend, though Kenichi does not remember him, and promises that soon the promise they made as children will be kept. He then admonishes Loki for lying about Sage Fist, who had not actually given any orders. Loki flees with Number 20. Odin offers to let Tanimoto stay in Ragnarok, but he refuses. Odin leaves, promising they will be enemies the next time they met. With Honoka safe Tanimoto insists on finishing their fight. The knife wound Tanimoto got from Number 20 weakens him and Kenichi is able to perform a counterattack. Through sheer willpower Tanimoto is able to remain standing. Kenichi realises Tanimoto had passed out even though he was still standing. Akisame and Sakaki reveal themselves and take Kenichi and Tanimoto to Ryozanpaku Dojo for treatment. Kensei learns from Tanimoto that his brother Sougetsu was a brutal master who used only the harshest methods to train Tanimoto how to kill without remorse, though he was always happy that Kensei was living a good life where he could not. Tanimoto bumps into Honoka while leaving and forbids her from visiting his house again, though he smiles when she once again teases him over his fighting face. He also meets the Elder who advises him not to go through life alone. At school Tanimoto returns to class and clears up the rumours about Kenichi beating up the delinquents, though he insists he will only stay at school until he defeats Kenichi.
