Synopsis

The match between Tenshinhan and Cyborg Tao Pai-pai begins!! Tao Pai-pai commences a preemptive attack, but Tenshinhan easily parries him. Tenshinhan's ability is far above Tao Pai-pai's!! With that, Tao Pai-pai willingly breaks the rules and attacks with a sword sheathed inside his arm. He furthermore tries to fire a Super Dodonpa! But Tenshinhan, angry at last, takes him out with a single punch!! Tenshinhan gives Tao Pai-pai to Tsuru-Sen'nin, who had been observing the match, and tells him to never show his face again.
