Kerja sama Recca dan Tokiya diuji saat mereka bertempur dengan dua anggota Uruha Oto: Miki dan Neon. Pertempuran diadakan dengan sistem tag team. Sayangnya Tokiya dan Recca baru saja bertengkar semalam sebelum turnamen hari kedua. Akibatnya ketidakkompakan mereka jadi senjata bagi Neon dan Miki.

68 - Kurei visits his adoptive mother Tsukino. Koran had implanted a
bomb inside her, and Kurei, not wanting her to die, is controlled by Koran this way.

69 - Recca trains outside while the others are sleeping. He sees Yanagi and Mikagami walking. Mikagami asks Yanagi if she likes Recca and realizes she really does. That morning, Team Hokage battles Uruha Oto.

70 - There is clearly strife between Recca and Mikagami and everyone notices this. First round is Domon vs Aki, who uses Kotodama to create illusions just by saying them.

71 - Domon tries to use Aki's Kotodama against her. Fuuko helps him break out of the illusions by telling him it's not real or that she'll give him a kiss if he wins. He uses the Kuchibashi on Aki.

72 - Neon and Miki challenge Recca and Mikagami to a tandem fight, knowing there is hostility between the two Hokage members. Miki moves at lightning speed because of her Idaten madougu. Neon uses Fukyo Waon with her flute to attack.

73 - Miki also uses Yamabiki to reflect Neon's sound, letting them get more hits. Recca and Mikagami's inability to cooperate is even more of advantage to Miki and Neon.

74 - Domon stepped into the ring to save Recca and Mikagami from imminent death. He gets disqualified and loses his previous win. Domon and Fuuko smack some sense in Recca and Mikagami anyway, reminding them that Yanagi is at stake. They finally cooperate.

75 - Mikagami figured out Neon's attacks just by experiencing them once. Neon decides to use all her life force to destroy the arena.

76 - Mikagami uses Tsurara Mai, icicles that pop out from the ground, to destroy Neon's Fukyo Waon. Recca uses Madoka to create a barrier around Neon to save her since he feels bad for her. Team Hokage wins against Uruha Oto.

77 - Neon warns them that their next opponent is Uruha Kurogane, headed by Jisho, the strongest guy in Uruha. Hokage watches Uruha Kurogane vs Uruha Ma, where Jisho is battling a masked fighter named Magensha, who has defeated three members of Kurogane. Magensha has a canon madougu that uses corpses as ammunition; it kills Jisho.
