In the third match of the mini tournament Kuwabara goes against Musashi, a four degree black belt from a Kendo school.

However, what Kuwabara lacks in the other categories he makes up in pure toughness, determination and heart. In the mist of the fight Kuwabara in response to a near fatal attack, he materializes a sword made of spirit energy but it my not be enough to save his life. Next in the tournament is Yusuke as he faces down Kibano, a master of every martial art there is.
