Kappei is hard at work, training to get past the preliminary stage of the tournament. He encounters May, a fellow student who is also currently training. May's moves appear to be very slow in the beginning, but once she takes off the weights she was wearing, she shows off her true strength by smashing a large log to pieces. Meanwhile, Genunsai has arrived from Oedo to see how much Kappei has grown as a ninja. Genunsai has brought his twin brother Genryusai's favorite snack as a gift, but he looks away for one minute, and Goro snatches it and takes off.
