Exhibition Match

The **Exhibition Match** (エキシビションマッチ, *Ekishibishon Matchi*) is event within the Rosengarten Schlacht proceeding the qualifiers.

## Overview

In the event no teams passed the qualifiers, two seeded teams were arranged so the tournament may continue. Since the original six teams had already revealed most of their skills and exhausted themselves in the previous rounds, for fairness an exhibition match was held for the two seeded teams. Anyone may challenge any of the seeded players for their place in the tournament, including those previously eliminated and those without teams. All combatants are active at once, with fights taking place simultaneously within the arena. This event was seemingly arranged by Gernot without the seeded players' knowledge as Hagen was unaware the event would be taking place.

## Event Summary

As Gernot unveils the event, Say! Hi! JUMP lead by Galahad make their debut and announce their participation in the match. More extraordinary individuals soon follow, including Alwilda and Bodhidharma, prompting more audience members to rush in to participate, officially starting the event.

Fafnir quickly dispatches of several challengers by summoning giant golden blades form the ground, causing large scale damage to the arena. Empowered by Say! Hi! JUMP's music, some of the challengers get back up to continue fighting. Hagen uses Balmung on them, prompting Galahad to attack Hagen.

Alwilda captures several men to be her potential husband including Witege who is unfazed by her.

Hildebrand defeats several challengers using his unique ability to have heart-to-heart conversations through his attacks, convincing his attackers to reflect on their ways. Intrigued by this ability, Bodhidharma challenges Hildebrand to battle and is first to land an attack on Hildebrand. The two battle, ultimately resulting in Hildebrand's victory as he sends Bodhidharma flying out of the arena. Meanwhile Witege has escaped and defeated Alwilda. Dietrich von Bern waves to mentor and countrymen only for them to threaten him with a warning shot.

Hagen is overwhelmed by the Say! Hi! JUMP's simultaneous attacks, forcing him to use his Tarnkappe Cloak to boost his own power. Quickly gaining the upper hand, Hagen defeats the band and turns them into men. As Hagen is about to breast feed Galahad, Arthur Pendragon intervenes and rescues Galahad. Gernot calls Arthur out for interfering despite already qualifying for the main event, but Arthur argues Gernot stated anyone could participate. Hagen gets back up to attack Arthur but in turn is ambushed by Siegfried and Lynn. Fafnir protects Hagen but is also attacked by Lyng and Lofn. Gernot tries to get the intervening players to stop, threatening disqualification, but Alibaba and his crew start bombing the battlefield from above. Kay and Gawain jump in to protect Arthur from the explosion. Orochi runs to Gawain and asks to have sex again but Yamato Takeru unleashes a powerful attack, hitting her and forcing everyone to dodge out of the way. The energy from his attack reaches the audience in the stands but they are protected by Beowulf and Hildebrand who tank the hit. Dietrich asks Hildebrand why he attacked him earlier but Heime and Witege clothesline him. Gernot continues and fails at trying to get the fighters to stop until his brother King Gunther intervenes, forcing everyone to freeze with his voice.

Gunther forces everyone to calm down and Gernot concludes the exhibition match with the seeded players claiming victory and retaining their position in the tournament. An hour break is adjourned in order to repair the arena.

## Aftermath

Arthur Pendragon and Merlin recruit Say! Hi! JUMP to join KRT13. Their producer, Lancelot, agrees but joins as an idol as well.
