## Background

Muko was born to Bill Bunburger and his wife, whom Muko loved dearly. She has an older sister named Saniko, who takes care of her since both of their parents are absent.

Not much is known about Muko's past, but hints of it are seen in some chapters. Back when she was younger and more innocent, Muko loved pancakes, adopting them as her comfort food.

Back in her senior year of high school, eighteen months before the events of the series, Muko had a relationship with her teacher, Matroshka, losing her virginity to her. Their relationship was discovered at some point, forcing them to end it. Because of the scandal, Muko dropped out of high school, living with her father and sister.

During the eighteen months prior to the series, Muko tried to make something of herself by pursuing many passions, which ended in failure. One of those passions was competitive eating, which ended badly when Muko vomited in her first tournament. Feeling depressed, Muko locked herself in her room and started binge eating, gaining a huge amount of weight. Saniko was forced to help Muko slim back to her original weight in a process that lasted weeks.

At some point, Saniko got Muko to work in Cafe Carrots. However, Muko was far from a perfect worker. She arrived late, left early, stole food, was a bad waitress, and she peeped on her fellow waitresses. Naturally, Manugo and the other maid waitresses developed a distaste for Muko.

A few weeks before the start of the series, Muko met Mellow, who fell in love at first sight. Muko visited Mellow's shopwith her remaining oblivious to his advances. Eventually, Mellow invited Muko to a furry fighting match featuring Fenny and Roora, starting the events of the series.

## History

### Act 1

Muko is one of the four main characters of Act 1. The story focuses around Muko's journey to become a true Combagal.

#### Part 1

Muko's role in Part 1 has her develop an interest in furry fighting after watching her first match. She's the main character of this part as the chapters narrate her first encounter with Cookie and Kalita.

##### Watching Her First Furry Fight

Muko's first appearance in the comic shows her as a young rabbit girl watching her first furry fighting match. Mellow, a friend of Muko who took her to the match, explains the development of a furry fight since Muko never saw one before.

Muko reacts throughout the match as Fenny and Roora amaze her with their performance. After Fenny wins the match, Muko becomes inspired to become a Combagal.

After the match is over, Muko intends to meet Fenny and Roora so that she can learn how to become a Combagal. She's stopped by many guard, who are barely able to stop her in groups. When one of them mentions Fenny and Roora taking a shower, Muko becomes determined to see them. She uses her leg strength to jump over the guards and races to the shower rooms to meet them. She manages to open the doors just as the guards stop her from fully entering.

Upon seeing Fenny and Roora, Muko fights her lust enough to ask Fenny how to become a Combagal. Fenny is more than happy to answer Muko's questions by telling her everything she needs to know. Unfortunately, Roora is not happy at Muko for looking at her naked body and promptly boots Muko and the guards with a powerful kick. Despite ending with a bump, Muko considers the bump as an autograph from Roora, believing the pain to be worth it.

After getting the information she needed, Muko left the stadium. However, she buys a lot of memorabilia, including a Fenny body pillow that appears recurrently in the comic, at Mellow's expense, as he had to pay for what Muko bought. Before leaving, Muko gave Mellow her phone number, finally acknowledging him as her friend.

##### Meeting Cookie

That same night, Muko did research on how to become a Combagal, but she was dismayed at having to go to school for two years before making her debut. As she kept researching, she found an advertisement of a manager who promised her Combagals the chance of making their debut in a week. Ignoring the bad reviews, Muko hired Cookie as her manager and they arranged to meet at a later date.

The following day, Muko went to Cafe Carrots to quit her job. Despite her blatant disrespect when quitting, Manugodidn't mind since Muko was such a poor worker, gladly kicking her out of his shop. With her job no longer hindering her, Muko followed the directions that Cookie gave her, ending in Tendonchi.

Cookie's directions led Muko to Monyan, a soapland in Tendonchi. Upon entering, a Monyan girl led Muko to the janitor's closet that worked as Cookie's office. Muko introduced herself to Cookie while the squirrel was in her computer, causing her to scream in surprise.

With Cookie having her attention, the two of them exchanged greetings. Muko reveals that she doesn't have fighting experience or knowledge about furry fighting, making it clear that she only wants to fight attractive girls. Realizing that Muko is an amateur, Cookie hires her anyway, giving her a quick course about furry fighting. She tells Muko that she will fight in a tag match with her partner Nyarai, much to Muko's excitement. As they talk more, Muko tells Cookie about her incident with Fenny and Roora, which makes the squirrel think that she does have a talent as a Combagal.

Later that night, Muko tells Saniko about her dream of becoming a furry fighter, to her sister's disapproval. Despite Saniko's thoughts on the matter, Muko cheerfully tells her sister that she quit her job.

The following day, Muko meets with Cookie and is dismayed upon finding out that she's going to promote herself by working at Cafe Carrots.

##### et At Cafe Carrots

Upon entering Cafe Carrots, Manugo is not happy to see Muko again, having remembered her attitude when quitting. Muko is resistant to work again as she got on the staff's bad side with her behavior. Cookie manages to convince Manugoto let Muko work at Cafe Carrots: if Muko wins, then they get the savings of the week. But if Muko loses, she has to work at Cafe Carrots for a month.

Muko is dismayed at the bet, but she pulls through to avoid working at the cafe for a month. During the bet, Muko is unable to serve any client due to social anxiety around men. This allows Shira, Mel, and Tunky to have a big lead on her.

Not willing to lose, Cookie talks with Muko privately and helps her surpass her anxiety with the concept of a persona. She wants Muko to be a working class hero to relate with the average citizens. Muko follows Cookie's advice, allowing her to surpass her anxiety by giving Harry, a suicidal fish, good customer service. Using her agility, Muko is able to dodge the maids trying to stop her progress. She eventually gets the lead.

Unfortunately, as the day is about to end, Kalita and the Roda Kira Gang enter the store and demand a payment to provide protection.

##### Fight With Kalita

Muko tries to stop Kalita from robbing the store by putting on a heroic act. However, she makes it clear how attractive she finds the vixen to be. She rates Kalita a 10 out of 10 and tries to calm her down via her cute act for customer service. Muko grabs Kalita's breasts when she trips, causing the vixen to punch Muko into a chair.

Undeterred, Muko stands up and resolves to fight Kalita, more focused on the chance of fighting a cute girl than saving the store. Kalita then accepts Muko's challenge, much to Muko's joy.

Muko's incoming fight causes the patrons to admire her. This causes Cookie to promote Muko, giving her a custom Combagal outfit for the fight. Muko's fight turns into a disaster as she focuses more on messing around with Kalita than defeating her. Even when she proves to be able to pull a feint, Muko is so focused on Kalita's body that she ends up with trembling legs. Eventually, Kalita reaches her breaking point, beating up Muko and trashing the store. Even with the damage, Muko shows her determination to be a Combagal, which impresses Kalita so much that she spares the store.

Muko's performance ends up making Harry her fan. Furthermore, Cookie is proud of Muko's fighting spirit. Shira, touched by Muko fighting to protect the store gives Cookie the bet's money, much to the dismay of Mel and Tunky. Sadly, Muko's property damage causes Manugo to demand compensation, making Cookie lose the bet money and putting her in bigger debt.

#### Part 2

This part focuses on Muko's debut match as she and Nyarai are scheduled to fight Team Executor. It also details her relationship with her sister Saniko as they come to clash about Muko's decision about being a Combagal.

##### Bonding With Cookie

Following her defeat by Kalita, Muko goes to the hospital to treat her wounds. Upon getting out, she's confronted by Cookie, who scolds her for fighting Kalita despite the gap between them. Cookie lectures Muko about the importance of caring for her body, telling her to not get unnecessarily hurt and demanding her to throw away her painkillers to prevent an addiction.

After the lecture, Cookie gives Muko a gift, an action figure of Donkizari. Muko doesn't understand the importance of the gift, forcing Cookie to educate her about Donkizari, introducing the concept of Face and Heel Combagals along the way. After the lecture, Cookie explains how Donkizari inspired her to be a Combagal, but she was forced to recognize her ambitions as a pipe dream. As a result, Cookie decided to become a manager to help Combagals achieve their dreams.

Muko is moved to tears by Cookie's story, hugging her in gratitude for trusting her. After their scene, Muko is curious about Cafe Carrots, forcing Cookie to lie about her debt to avoid making Muko feel guilty. Muko then wonders about meeting Nyarai, causing Cookie to lie about how she'll love Nyarai and how Nyarai will love her.

##### Meeting Nyarai And Team Executor

The next day, Muko is waiting at Monyan for the meeting that will decide her first match. She hangs out with Zebreastian, who listens as Muko talks about her reasons for being a Combagal and then voices her lust for the Monyan girls. Muko sees a wall of photos with Monyan girls, enjoying the sight until she sees a photo of two beat up men.

Tasha, the boss of Monyan, comes in and explains to Muko that the men are banned customers. Muko gets a crush on Tasha, who explains how Cookie's former Combagal, Skully, saved her workers from a rape attempt, which is the main reason she allowed Cookie to live in the closet for two years. Muko, doesn't hear the whole story since she's distracted by her crush on Tasha. She asks Tasha out on a date, to which the monkey girl tells Muko that she's straight.

Muko gets a call from Cookie, telling her that the meeting is starting. This causes Muko to panic as she realizes that the meeting point is somewhere else. Muko sprints out of Monyan and reaches the club where the meeting takes place. It turns out to be a stripper club, which causes the exhausted Muko to melt out of lust.

Cookie finds Muko outside of the club and orders her to get solid. Muko partially fulfills the order, but she's still too weak to walk, forcing Cookie to drag her. Inside the club, Muko meets Nyarai and is happy that she's beautiful. She hugs Nyaraiand takes a selfie with her, much to Nyarai's annoyance. Muko starts asking Nyarai personal questions, causing the cheetah to fully hate her as she refuses to answer the questions.

Muko meets Team Executor, her opponents in her debut match. While Muko finds Peki to be somewhat attractive, she's dismayed at Adelgund being masculine in appearance.

##### Family Drama With Saniko

After the events of that night, Muko continues her video game training. She gets a call from Mellow, who saw a Spotterarticle talking about her fight with Kalita. He tries to warn Muko about Cookie's bad reputation, but Muko hangs up on him because she got distracted with her game.

Saniko arrives and is horrified by Muko's injuries. Again, she voices her disapproval of furry fighting, reminding Muko of how she picks random passions and then gets depressed when she fails, bringing up how Muko tried to get into competitive eating and turned overweight by binge eating in depression after losing a tournament.

Muko passive-aggressively tells Saniko about how Cookie believes in her. Saniko snaps and breaks a vase, shocking Muko. She voices the stress of taking care of herself and Muko, crying as she reaches her breaking point. Muko coldly tells Saniko that she's not their mother. This causes Saniko to end the conversation. Muko goes to her room and thinks to herself how furry fighting will be different, using the picture she took with Nyarai as a sign of comfort.

##### Debut At The Masato Match

Before her debut match, Muko meets with Cookie, who teaches her some basic wrestling techniques, such as the dropkick, the clothesline, and the cross body pin.

On the day of her debut with Nyarai as Team Deliverance, Muko is overwhelmed with anxiety as she realizes how many people went to the stadium. As she walks into the ring, she notices that the people are booing at her, Cookie, and Nyarai. She then gets distracted by Harry and Mellow, recovering her fighting spirit just as she was about to notice Cookie'sinfamy.

Muko enters the ring, dismayed that Adelgund will be her first opponent. However, when the Masato Champion steps in, Muko feels overwhelmed as she realizes how strong Adelgund is. Despite the fear, Muko rushes to Adelgund once the fight starts.

The match with Adelgund proves to be one-sided since Adelgund is larger, stronger, and more experienced. She easily overwhelms Muko and flirts with her, much to her horror. Muko attempts to tag Nyarai in, who coldly ignores her to watch Adelgund torture her more. When Adelgund pins Muko to the mat, she tauntingly kisses her on the cheek, causing Muko to break out of the hold to kick Adelgund in the face. Muko uses the techniques that Cookie taught her on Adelgund, who receives them and pretends to be hurt. Before Muko can try a cross body pin, Adelgund tags Peki in. Muko is ready to fight Peki when Nyarai demands to be tagged in.

Muko is happy to tag Nyarai in, calling her a friend and witnessing the fight. Before Peki and Nyarai can land their first blows, Shun Gonfano interrupts the match. Muko is curious about Shun, but she gets distracted by the Cyclone Crushers.She loses more focus when  Nyarai and Peki rip off their uniforms, not realizing that they betrayed their own teams to become Team Firestorm.

Muko snaps out of her trance when Adelgund puts a collar on her neck, names her  *Deputy Muko ,* and then tasks her to fight Nyarai. At that moment, Muko realizes that Nyarai betrayed her and Cookie. Muko tries to reason with Nyarai, reminding her that they are friends. Nyarai laughs at Muko and tells her that ideas of furry fighting are wrong. She then rubs her betrayal on her and Cookie's face by revealing she worked as a mole for Shun, waiting for this moment. Muko is heartbroken at Nyarai's betrayal, mainly for Cookie's sake. However, Nyarai points out that Cookie is a liar and has caused a casualty in the ring.

Nyarai spends the whole fight torturing Muko. Regardless of what she does, Muko gets her moves countered by Nyarai. Eventually, the match ends when Nyarai grabs Muko by the hair and slams her head repeatedly in the mat, making her bleed. Broken physically and emotionally, Muko cries for her mother. Recognizing that she made a mistake in forcing an amateur to fight, Adelgund tags in to get revenge on Muko afterwards.

Despite her injuries and having cried at the end of the fight, Muko decides to stay and watch the fight. Muko spends the rest of the Masato Match being an spectator. She reacts with surprise when Adelgund defeats Nyarai with a knee strike,and is then horrified when Adelgund breaks Peki's limbs.

At the end of the Masato Match, with Adelgund fighting a recovered Nyarai, Muko reacts in shock when  Nyarai breaks her own spine to escape Adelgund's best move. She is horrified when Nyarai uses Leg Jet Burst to overwhelm Adelgund. Recognizing that Adelgund will lose, Muko attempts to tag her in. To her dismay, Adelgund refuses to prevent Muko from getting hurt. Muko is forced to watch as Nyarai finishes Adelgund with a kick that breaks her jaw, a sight that leaves Muko traumatized after Nyarai becomes the Masato Champion.

##### Retirement And Return

After Nyarai is crowned the Masato Champion, Muko goes for treatment for her injuries. She talks to Cookie, asking her what happened at Trilamity Day. Cookie explains her history with Freydar and the Cyclone Crushers, causing Muko to feel relief at her manager not being a killer. When Cookie asks if she's mad, Muko tells her that she's mainly disappointed.

Muko voices her dismay at being the only Combagal who didn't contribute to the match, scolding herself for becoming a Combagal out of lust. She then retires, putting Cookie in despair.

After returning home, Muko locked herself in her room for three days. Feeling concerned for her sister, Saniko visited Cookie and threatened the cops on her if she didn't help Muko. Upon arriving, Cookie visits Muko's room, where she finds her masturbating to porn, much to their embarrassment. Muko promptly kicks Cookie out of the room, calling out the squirrel for not knocking.

Muko gets out of her room, asking Cookie why she came. Cookie apologizes to Muko for failing her, acknowledging that she should have trained Muko better. She then tells Muko her story with Shun and the Cyclone Crushers. Muko asks if Cookie overcame her despair, to which the squirrel answers that she still feels it.

Cookie promises Muko that if she gives her another chance, she'll be a better manager. Muko forgives Cookie, hugging her and laughing together. Their reunion is interrupted by Saniko, who disapproves of Muko's return, reminding her of Adelgund having a concussion and a broken jaw.

Both sisters argue with each other about Muko's decision. The argument comes to an end when Muko calls out Saniko on being smothering. Saniko allows Muko to leave, but she tells her that she needs to be independent. As such, Muko needs to leave the house, much to Muko's dismay since she still wanted to live with Saniko.

Muko packed her belongings and moved in to Monyan to live in Cookie's office. Cookie awkwardly points out that she barely has space now that Muko moved in, but Muko assures her that she will move out once she can pay an apartment. Suddenly, Kalita barges into the room. Muko and Cookie think that she wants to be a Combagal, but Kalita tells them that she came for the loan Cookie made to pay the Masato Match, promising violent retribution if they don't comply.

#### Part 3

This part focuses on Muko finally starting her Combagal training shortly after her rematch with Kalita. Muko's past is unveiled in the worst way possible. And yet still, a good thing happens to Muko as she finally finds her tag team partner.

##### Rematch With Kalita

Muko is happy to meet Kalita again, posing as she refers to herself as a new and improved Muko. Kalita ignores her, demanding Cookie to pay her the loan she took by taking a revised contract that forces her to pay earlier than expected. Muko attempts to solve the situation by using the briefcase of money that Shun gave Cookie two years ago. To her shock, it's empty. Cookie lost her money on gambling.

Kalita threatens Cookie with a bat, but Muko refuses to let her hurt her manager without a fight. Muko shows her potential by throwing dildoes at Kalita, distracting her enough to jump into a wall to give her a dropkick. Kalita retaliates by sending Muko flying with a hit of her baseball bat. Muko lands on a hot tub, where Kalita continues the fight. Muko accidentally escapes when she notices naked Monyan girls and has a daydream about them having a threesome with Kalita, causing her to melt.

When Cookie arrives, Muko is disappointed with herself, having realized that she can't be a Combagal if her lust prevents her from focusing. Cookie gives Muko a motivational speech that causes her to fight again. However, Kalita proves that Muko is not ready to fight attractive girls by flashing her breasts at her. Muko is overwhelmed with the sight, falling backwards into the hot tub and melting. A desperate Cookie then calls Muko her last lifeline, inspiring Muko to fight as she remembers everyone who looked down on her. Muko gets out of the hot tub and prepares to finish her fight with Kalita with a new furry fighting outfit Cookie gave her.

Muko feels more confident in her victory now that she got her upgrade. However, Kalita finishes her with a single blow that makes Muko feel like she was hit by lightning. She's sent crashing headfirst into a tiled wall, falling unconscious after the impact. Despite being knocked unconscious, Muko wakes up when Cookie offers Kalita to be her partner. She is dismayed when Kalita refuses, with her and Cookie clinging to her leg. Muko even promises to not grope her, but Kalita kicks her and Cookie away.

Cookie tells Kalita that she needs their help. Winning the Tendonchi Challenges will give Kalita all the money Cookie owes her to pay the debt. She originally intended for Muko and Nyarai to take the Tendonchi Challenges, but she knows that Muko needs a strong partner who can help her defeat the current Tendonchi Champions, Skully and Bolouma.

Kalita refuses, pointing out that Muko is too weak to be her partner in two months. Muko takes offense to Kalita's comment, demanding a rematch where Kalita will become her partner if Muko wins. After Kalita leaves, Muko regrets her choice, but Cookie is happy because Muko allowed her to recover her foresight. She tells Muko that Kalita is the first enemy to beat. Then they will take on Shun Gonfano, Nyarai, and the Cyclone Crushers. And then Muko will keep fighting more Combagals until she faces Donkizari and her tag team partner. With a goal in mind, Cookie decides to train Muko for real.

#### Spotter Article

The following morning, Cookie takes Muko to the Megaton Punch Gym, where Muko is to be trained by Patchwork in boxing, recognizing her as the best trainer in Botaun. Muko gets a crush on Patchwork as she's an attractive bunny like her. However, Patchwork refuses and tells them to train at another gym. Confused, but not willing to give up, Cookiedrags Muko to another gym while Muko cries at losing the chance of being trained by Patchwork.

Muko and Cookie visit a pair of gyms, but they are rejected. Upon the third rejection, Cookie snaps and yells at their exclusion, believing that she's been punished enough. Muko calms down Cookie. The third gym owner tells Cookie that he didn't reject her for Trilamity Day. He rejected Muko because of a Spotter article.

Muko takes her phone and is shell shocked when seeing a video where Miho Barkowitz exposes Muko's perverted deeds throughout the comic. Besides Roora and her former maids at Cafe Carrots talking about her, Muko is hurt when she sees that Matroshka, her first love, incriminated Muko by painting her as a manipulative sexual predator. A silent Muko gives Cookie her phone to watch the Spotter article while she gets some comfort food.

Upon finishing the video, Cookie notices Muko's absence and starts looking for her. She immediately finds her in a burger stand. Muko tells Cookie that fries and milkshakes are her comfort food because they taste like pancakes when mixed together. Cookie tries to talk with Muko about Matroshka, but Muko assures her that the relationship was mutual and that she doesn't want to talk about it.

Cookie then gives an over the top speech about forgetting the past and focusing in the present, starting by having Muko change her diet. She promises to train Muko herself by teaching her the fundamentals. Touched by her manager's support, Muko picks up Cookie and jumps through a window in a moment of passion, much to Cookie's protests.

##### Training With Cookie

Cookie starts Muko's training by teaching her how to do squats, sit-ups, and push-ups. She then follows the training by having Muko do sprints and jogging. Eventually, they use Muko's belongings as makeshift training equipment. To finish the training, Cookie prepares mental training to help Muko overcome her lust. She has the Monyan girls willingly let Muko grab their breasts to desensitize herself from her lust.

After the first day of training, Muko slowly adapts to the training regimen to her daily life. She wakes up, showers, and dresses in sport clothes before waking up Cookie for the training. During the training session, Muko breaks her pants during squats, much to her dismay. By the end of the session, Muko is exhausted since this is the first time she exercises for real. Cookie tells her to recover quickly as she got her a new trainer. Cookie gives Muko a poster, telling her that their new trainer is just like them.

##### New Partner

After her training session is over, Muko is hungry and exhausted. Cookie happily promises a barbecue as they go to meet Muko's trainer. Muko then notices Kalita in front of them, causing Muko and Cookie to panic. Muko recovers her courage and is ready to fight Kalita, who drags her to an alley.

As it turns out, Kalita took the duo into a casino, where she intends to make gambles, exploiting Cookie's bad luck to get big earnings and pay the debts. To Cookie's dismay, Kalita took another loan without her consent, meaning that she will get a double debt if she loses.

When Cookie wins a roulette game by betting 5 Moni, Muko congratulates her for her first win in two years, only to realize that Kalita losing the game while betting 19,995 Moni means that Cookie lost that amount just to get 10 Moni. Feeling scared of making more bets, Cookie can't say anything. Muko bets the 10 Moni in her place, even betting on red despite Cookie's insistence that red is going to lose. Muko believes that Cookie loses because she believes that she will lose, therefore Cookie needs to believe that she will win in order to win. Cookie angrily tells her that's not how it works. Sure enough, the ball lands on black, meaning that they lost.

Muko then comforts a crying Cookie about her double debt, telling her that she will make her fortune in furry fighting. Upon seeing Kalita, Muko angrily demands her to pay back the money she lost, intending to fight her. Muko then faints, making Cookie believe that she's suffering complications from her fight with Nyarai. In reality, Muko fainted out of hunger.

Kalita treats Muko and Cookie to barbecue. Muko happily eats a big share of meat, recovering her energy. After thanking Kalita, she's shocked when the vixen tells her that she wants to be Muko's partner.

A while later, Cookie announced Muko's return to furry fighting by introducing Muko and Kalita as cheerleader Combagals. Unlike Kalita, Muko is clearly enjoying the new look.

##### Meeting Ida and Daikarin

After their return, Cookie takes Muko and Kalita to meet Ida Huggler, the beast seamstress of Tendonchi, and the one who made Muko's maid outfit. Despite her coldness to Cookie, Ida is welcoming to Muko and Kalita, proudly showing her creations they can use for their outfits. As they travel the shop, Muko finds a black lucha libre mask that she wants to use. Cookie then guilt trips her into not buying it, telling her that she will be a Heel Combagal with that outfit and would therefore disrespect Adelgund's sacrifice. Muko tearfully let's go of the mask as she obeys Cookie's instructions.

Cookie has Muko and Kalita dress in bikinis since they are going to take their first gravure shots. Muko enjoys the session as Cookie instructs her to get close to Kalita, to the vixen's annoyance. After the gravure session is over, Muko watches a video of the Tendonchi Challenges Recap Show.

Upon finishing the video, Muko is terrified by Freydar's challenge. Between her and Kalita, Muko is the only one who wants to take the Tendonchi Challenges, believing them to be more fun and less dangerous if Freydar is not there. She's delighted when Cookie tells her that they will take the challenges. Cookie then instructs Muko and Kalita to follow her, as they have to meet their new trainer.

After getting dressed, Muko and Kalita go to a bar with Cookie, where she tells them the story of the Doable Dolls and Daikarin, who is going to be their new trainer.

##### Heel Debut

After a brief time skip. Muko and Kalita have their first match together as Heel Combagals. They show up together to attack the Re-Doable Dolls after they finish fighting each other. Muko makes her entry by thowing herself butt first into Snuggly and groping her. Both her and Kalita pummel Snuggly and Sleepy, with Kalita finishing the two. Muko asks the referee to count, but she deems him too slow, causing her to send him flying with a butt strike and personally do the countdown.

After winning, Cookie shows up with Daikarin, declaring that she will take her challenge. Despite earning a lot of ire from the crowd, Muko is pleased with the current development.

#### Part 4

This part focuses on Muko's most important fight yet.

##### Training With Daikarin

After Cookie's war declaration, she has Kalita drive her, Muko, Daikarin, and Ida to her family farm. Upon reaching there, Muko and Kalita open the doors of the Fortune Factory to reveal used Combagal training equipment. Daikarin then reveals to Muko that Cookie forged legends there, before informing her that Freydar fell into a coma a day before Trilamity Day and then forced her Combagals to fight.

Muko feels conflicted at her manager doing such a thing before getting a headache, which Muko admits to Ida to come occasionally. Upon hearing Cookie express regret for how she acted, as well as Ida and Daikarin supporting her choice because of her professionalism, Muko voices her support for Cookie, making her cry out of happiness.

With the personal revelations over, Cookie has Muko and Kalita steal the ring so that they can take it to Monyan. Once Ida convinces Zebreastian to let her put the ring on the roof, Daikarin tasks Muko and Kalita to bring each piece upstairs and then build the ring on their own.

After a full night, Muko and Kalita succeed in their mission. Daikarin then has them change and practice stepping techniques to improve their mobility. As the two talk, Daikarin tells Ida that she's training Muko and Kalita because she wants them to become the Tendonchi Champions so that way they can fight Snuggly and Sleepy six months later and lose, allowing them to make their comeback.

Daikarin then has Muko learn how to take a bump, instructing Muko to loosen her muscles and spread her arms at the moment of impact to lessen the damage. Muko is initially scared, so Daikarin has Kalita give Muko a surprise body slam. Muko then uses the technique that Daikarin taught her, laughing when she admits how much fun she had. She then passes out from exhaustion as the sun rises.
