## Summary

The chapter starts with the Tendonchi Masters presenting themselves as the Tendonchi Challenges Recap Show. They explain that twice a year, many Combagals participate to fight against the Tendonchi Champions. However, only one team gets the honor every six months. The youngest member states his desire to show his challenge in the future, but the female member cover his lips with a finger, teasingly telling him to not reveal spoilers.

Golgadoo, the Tendonchi Master of Gastronomy, reveals his previous challenge since it was the first one the previous year. It was a tag team eating competition. One Combagal was going to make meals for her partner, while her partner kept eating until time stopped. Those who survived were sent to the next round. The young member of the Tendonchi Masters insults Golgadoo by calling his challenge boring, stating that all Combagals stood in the same place.

The kid introduces himself as Stonk, the Tendonchi Master of Arcade. His challenge had Combagals participate in a crane game competitiom. Golgadoo angrily states that the Combagals stand around barely doing anything, calling out Stonk for hypocritically insulting his challenge for the same reason. Stonk continues by revealing that the balls collected in the crane game contain ammunition. The Combagals will participate in a paintball match, with the last team standing out of six moving to the third round. Additionally, the losers of the previous round return as zombies to eliminate the competition. Stonk calls this challenge Paintball Apocalypse.

The female panda calls Stonk's challenge undignified. She presents herself as the Tendonchi Master of Pink Businesses. Her challenge had a soapland theme where Combagals put on their bikinis and then climbed into a body oil volcano. Golgadoo and Stonk call out Brida for making the most undignified of their challenges. The team who will face the Tendonchi Champions are the first tag team who reaches the top and stays there for three minutes. Having said all of the challenges, Brida prepares to say who won the Tendonchi Challenges and went to face the Tendonchi Champions.

Before they can reveal the winner of the previous Tendonchi Challenges, Freydar arrives to make her own challenge. The Tendonchi Masters are surprised by Freydar's surprise appearance, as Brida faints for the shock. The audience reacts with cheer at Freydar's return. Freydar then declares a challenge towards Cookie. She dares her Combagals to fight her, stating that she'll let them skip the Tendonchi Challenges if they win. However, losing her challenge means that Cookie and her Combagals need to leave Botaun, which is considered a career ending event.

Golgadoo calls out Freydar for trying to bypass the Tendonchi Challenges. He also reminds her that she can't fight because of her injury or she'll get blind if she gets hit in the head. Freydar grabs Golgadoo by the neck and throws him into the audience, telling him that she's been waiting to confront Cookie for two years by training nonstop since her rehabilitation, making her stronger than she was two years before. Shun Gonfano arrives, telling Freydar to follow her doctor's orders. Annoyed, Freydar changes her challenge to have Muko and Kalita fight two mystery Combagals she will train in a month. She swears to bring Cookie down as the show ends.

Back in Ida's place, Muko is scared upon seeing Freydar while Kalita stands bravely. Cookie is haunted by her past self as she realizes that she'll have to face her old Combagal in the future. Ida states that Cookie can have Muko and Kalita face three unknown Tendonchi Challenges in the future or have them fight Freydar's team to face the Tendonchi Champions directly. Muko wants to face the challenges while Kalita wants to fight Freydar's Combagals. Ultimately, Cookie decides to take the Tendonchi Challenges, rationalizing that Freydar's Combagals may be stronger than Skully and Bolouma.

Ida discusses the possibility of Shun Gonfano arranging the Tendonchi Challenges against Cookie, but the squirrel decides to take the chance than facing Freydar. She then asks Muko and Kalita to follow her to the Sanpyon District. The chapter ends with Cookie promising to tell Muko and Kalita a story about idol Combagals. An extra page shows Brida waking up later, asking what did she miss.
