As the episode begins, Shobu and his friends are heading to the temple to finally challenge Hakuoh. As they arrive, however, they discover him lurking behind a tree. He challenges Shobu to his duel, and Shobu accepts. But, just then, a bird swoops down, grabs Hakuoh's hair, and pulls it off! It's a wig! The culprit is, in fact, a VERY short man named Kintaro, who also challenges Shobu to a duel, of which Shobu gladly accepts, as it is the only way he will face Hakuoh.
Meanwhile, Mimi is off in the woods, receiving a call from Master. She is informed that Knight is heading towards the duel to stop it, and that she must stop him at all costs. She agrees, and sets off.
