Episode Title:
The Way of the Rice.Episode Description:
Everybody watches Team Hoshigumi's (formed by Hao, Opacho and Luchist) first match, in which Hao quickly burns his opponents alive and wins the battle alone. Later, as they discuss the fight, Mikihisa emerges and proposes a training match between Team The Ren and Team Funbari Onsen in order to determine who is stronger and in order for them to start figuring ways of fighting Hao. Faust has his Mephisto E. mount Ryu's Yamata no Orochi and wield Yoh's Spirit of Sword while HoroHoro has his Biran Birantte Kamui mount Chocolove's Steel Wheels and wield Ren's Bushin. However, Mikihisa orders two of his spirits to crawl around the combined oversouls, eventually causing them to break down. Mikihisa explains their furyoku is still far from Hao's and that it is not about size or even pure power. He then has them write the names of people or things that are important to them in small rice grains and spread the grains around the vast desert surrounding the village. Their next task is to find their grains, but no one makes it after several hours. Eventually, Team Funbari Onsen's next match is announced and Mikihisa proposes they fight using their ordinary oversouls. However, the team proves unable to defeat their adversaries without resorting to the recently developed oversouls and end up disappointed despite the victory. Later, they head to a restaurant and arrive just in time to find out that Team Lilly Five's first opponent in the second round will be Team Hoshigumi.
