The Requirements for a Hero.Ichika searches for Kanzashi, who starts developing the fear of incompetence. Tatenashi announces the tag match tournament at the opening ceremony. However, the arena is suddenly attacked by five advanced Golems. Ichika and Kanzashi take on a Golem, while Houki and Tatenashi charge against another Golem. Tatenashi fails to penetrate its armor, causing an explosion and rendering her weak. This enrages Kanzashi to fight the Golem until her weapon power is depleted. Kanzashi feels hopeless until she is then protected by Tatenashi, who ends up gravely injured. Deep within her subconscious, Kanzashi is encouraged by Ichika and Tatenashi to never run away and always accept her weaknesses. After Houki replenishes Ichika's shield energy, Kanzashi uses Tatenashi's aqua crystal as a good luck charm, allowing them to destroy all five Golems. Recuperating in the infirmary, Tatenashi contemplates how reliable Ichika can be, as she and Kanzashi have a friendly sister-to-sister talk. Meanwhile, Maya manages to recover two of the Golems, as Chifuyu plans to notify the government. Kanzashi gives Ichika an anime movie as a gift, and she confesses her love to him before running off. She later realizes that she accidentally blurted out by saying that she loves anime instead.
