In the second round of the regional tournament, Chrono has a rematch with the wandering warrior, Takeru Baba! But Takeru has a lot of motivation for his travels, and when Chrono finds out what it is, it weakens his fighting skill!

After Chrono`s win, their second match with Team Demise pits Tokoha against the nasty Rin Hashima, who has an old grudge against Mamoru. During the fight, Rin exploits Tokoha`s weakness, getting under her skin by calling her "Mamoru`s little sister."
