Washizu is determined to confess to Ibuki using a love letter. Washizu walks into a shop to buy something to drink, only to see Ayame choosing the same bottle. They argue over it. After training in Ibuki's dojo, Washizu fails to give the love letter to Ibuki. Ayame also fails to give Yoichi a towel. Washizu's love letter falls out of his keikogi and Ayame picks it up. Washizu tears the letter up before she can read it and falls on top of her. At the same time, Tsubasa is on a ramen delivery run for the dojo and opens the dojo door to see Washizu on top of Ayame. Tsubasa gets flustered, drops the boxes of ramen and flees. While eating ramen, Yoichi comments on Washizu's mellowness. It is revealed that Washizu has beaten up the toughest high school gang in the area. The gang walks into the dojo and kidnaps Ayame to use her as a hostage. The gang confronts Washizu and, threatening to rape Ayame, they beat Washizu up. Yoichi intervenes and together they beat up the members of the gang.
