Terror of the Sphere of Control! A Dragon Descends!.Kenichi fights Ryuto but he is on a completely different level and knocks Kenichi down without touching him. Sakaki and Apachai take Honoka to a restaurant where Sakaki knocks out a thug also without touching him, explaining to Honoka that he used his Qi to knock out his opponent with his powerful killing intent, the same move Ryuto used on Kenichi. Despite being injured Kenichi uses his own Qi to stand, shocking Ryuto.Miu explains, as Kenichi is routinely beaten up by masters who are far stronger than Ryuto, he has gained a tremendous level of resistance to physical damage. Despite this Kenichi is unable to get past Ryuto's "Seikuken", the area around his body over which Ryuto has perfect control, allowing for perfect defence and offense everywhere within the reach of his arms and legs, and as Kenichi has no real killing intent he is unable to break the Seikuken, even with his death blow. Ryuto steals his Yin-yang badge and replaces it with his own identical Yin-yang badge he also bought 10 years ago after Kenichi did something he found unforgivable, claiming it to be the badge of a loser. He leaves with Kenichi's badge. Niijima starts a rumour that Tanimoto has joined Shinpaku Alliance, when in reality it was Siegfried, now a member of Shinpaku Alliance, wearing Tanimoto's Hermit clothes. At Ryozanpaku Dojo the masters mercilessly tease Kenichi over his defeat until he regains his fighting spirit. The Elder reassures Kenichi that even though he lost he learned more about himself than he would have done had he won.
