## Synopsis

Upa and Qi keep missing Nico's attacks. He says a reference, making Jyugo, Uno and Rock get ready the censors. Hajime almost destroys Samon's top, but not before Upa uses a kikou to block his move. Nico wants to try one too, but Hajime keeps him occupied with Upa and Qi. Eventually, Samon confronts Hajime with his suspicions which annoys the latter, so they start to fight even more.

## Summary

Nico kicks Upa and Qi but they manage to miss, with Upa saying that Nico is so reckless and has been attacking nonstop, and Qi saying cell 13 is scary. Nico asks why they are avoiding it, saying it isn't cool if he misses and Upa responds that if they don't, they'll die. Nico just tells him to avoid it by floating earlier and Upa doesn't understand until he realizes that Nico saw him training, so Nico asks how he floats like that through his training. Upa explains that he used the power of chi, and is a qigong master who can control his own chi. Nico makes a reference, which annoys Upa, so Rock, Uno and Jyugo prepare the censors while Seitarou says he had a bad feeling.

Meanwhile, Samon fights Hajime and Hajime asks why he is attacking him because it isn't following the rules. Samon answers that he will take care of it after he gets rid of him as he prefers getting rid of the most painful task first, and because he doesn't like him. Hajime mocks Samon on his real motive and says he isn't in the mood to entertain an idiot, while Samon trembles in anger and attacks him, only for Hajime to escape. While Hajime is planning his attack, Upa tells Samon to get a hold of himself because he is the only one who can stop Hajime.

Nico gets excited from Upa's attack while Hajime compliments Upa's kikou, which makes Upa suspicious of Hajime. Nico says another reference, but Hajime tells him censorship has its limits. Nico wonders if he can do the same move as Upa, and Hajime tells him to go play with the other inmates while he destroys Samon's top. Nico goes, while in the crowd Seitarou remarks on Upa's skills, Jyugo says the fictional stuff is exhilarating, Uno, Rock and Yamato make more references, prompting them to be shouted at for it.

Upa and Nico meet, and Nico asks Upa to teach him the move, but Upa says that he isn't nice enough to teach it to him so Nico asks him to teach it if he ends up winning. Nico copies Liang's kick, which surprises Upa, and asks if he made his move similar to Liang. Upa responds that he had the incorrect form while Jyugo and Uno comment on his memory and Rock and Yamato wonder where Qi is. Qi is sleeping lazily, saying it is dangerous, he is a pharmacist, does not like exercising, only attacked Nico to go with the flow, and the only thing he will give him is advice and medical treatment, wishing them good luck. Samon calls him useless and says that he would have had Liang participate if he wasn't out.

Hajime calls Samon talkative, and Samon says he finds it ironic because he does not believe he was truthful when giving his report to the warden. Samon explains that from the tournament, Hajime is too accustomed when handling them, saying that he can tell he was lying when he said there was no problem with his sixth sense, and asks him what he is hiding. He continues on, until Hajime says that he is only doing job and has no other reason to deal with them. He says that he hates being asked the same question, but hates when someone doubts him even more and tells Samon to not waste any of his time, letting him go. Samon retorts and tells him to not mess with him, that his threat was useless and that he will destroy him, prompting Hajime to let him try, before calling him a monkey.
