NOW, THE BATTLE IS BETWEEN THE REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH SCHOOLS IN A 7-ON-7, 30-MINUTE DEATHMATCH! WHICHEVER SCHOOL HAS THE MOST PEOPLE REMAINING WILL BE THE WINNER.
Chagecha: 7-on-7...hidden weapons? WHAT IS ALL THIS? SHOULDN'T RANK BE DECIDED BY A TAIMAN MATCH WITH THE HEADS OF THE TEAMS?
(TN: A bit later "Taiman" is revealed as a "one-on-one" match, combining "tai" which is the Japanese word for "versus" and "man")

Doraji: I'VE BROKEN OFF FROM THAT INSISTENT MAN.
Masato: DEMON...
Doraji: AT ANY RATE, IT'S BIZARRE...MY FIRST DEBUT IN A RANK BATTLE SHOULD HAVE CLEARLY BEEN A GREAT ONE-MAN ACTIVITY. MY SCENARIO WAS A VIVDLY LARGE NEWCOMER DEBUT WITH A SPOTLIGHT BATHING ME IN A STORM OF SWARMING FLASHES AND THE SOUNDS OF THE DELIGHTFUL SHELLS OF OTTERS...

12.
Yamauchi: KU...CHAGECHA IS THAT MUCH A MAN...LET'S USE OUR FIRST PLAN: OPERATION SV
Helmet: HA! THE ARRANGEMENTS BELOW HAVE BEEN PREPARED.
Kabu.........STUPID IDIOTS. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF THEY USED IT FROM THE BEGINNING.
Tomoko: You've overestimated their power.
Kabu: That's why they're B-grade. I know they were at the bottom.
Kabu: ...HOWEVER FROM HERE ON IT'S THE TRUE NEW RANK-BATTLE...CHAGECHA WILL BE DESTROYED.

Yamauchi: WELCOME, CHAGECHA TO THE UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE. I WELCOME YOU HERE.

Helmet: AND HERE'S...
Helmet: YAN-DEADLY TECHNIQUE, UNDERWATER-SERIES: MAGNUM ROCKETEER
Chagecha: !!

15.
Yamauchi: IT'S TOO LATE, YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN OUR YAN-DEADLY TECHNIQUE RUIN COMBO. EVEN IF YOU CAN MAXIMIZE YOUR YANKI, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
Chagecha: GABAA (to himself) HE'S SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS...
Yamauchi: THIS BATTLE IS MERELY THE POWER OF STRONG GUYS, BUT ISN'T JUST A SIMPLE THING WHERE YOU JUST STICK TO A WIN IN A TAIMAN. YOU HAVE TO GRASP THE KEYS OF THE BATTLE BY THINKING OF FIELD CHARACTERISTICS, ABILITIES AND THE COMBINATION OF YAN-DEADLY TECHNIQUES AND PUT TOGETHER A RATIONAL STRATEGY OF HOW TO USE THEM.
Washio: ...! WHERE'S CHAGECHA-SENPAI?
Yamauchi: DRINK TO DEATH THE WAVES OF THE NEW ERA
Yamauchi: !!
Doraji: I SEE IT, I SEE IT--CHAGECHA. YOU ALONE AREN'T SUITABLE FOR TAKING ON A BOSS BATTLE
Caption: AN ESCAPE FROM HIS CRISIS!?
Yankee 6: End

Next Time: Doraji and Chagecha's Combo-Tecnique will make the shopping district explode!!

TN: Somehow the more I see Doraji, the more I like him. He's just an egotistical little kid who thinks he's better than anyone else due to his advanced skills at such a young age...but he's still just an arrogant brat who doesn't think of anyone else unless his own status is on the line. On the other hand...why is Onizawa even fighting? Outside those two, I really like we get a lot more from both Himawari and finally get a bit on Washio's style (it's like he's using bamboo sticks for sword techniques...how cool is that?) while Chagecha is slowly discovering that a brutal one-on-one melee like he's use to...doesn't quite work. (it's a bit like many of the later Bo-bobo fights: you have to use everything and anything within your realm as well as the teamwork with your weird teammates to win) I sort of wish we get a bit more info on the other team...espcially that weird "Frankenstein's monster who fights with traffic cones"...but hey, it was neat seeing some of them in action...even the fill-ins :p
