Tamakoma Second 19

Short Summary
Round 6 of Rank Battle ends with Tamakoma Second's victory.

Long Summary
Ōji is forced to Bail Out, but not before crippling Yūma; regardless, Tamakoma Second earns the point. Ikoma begins pursuing Yūma, who proceeds to cut down Oki since the latter has been pinned down by Chika's Lead Bullet. This gives Tamakoma Second yet another point. Yūma tries to jump away from Ikoma, but Ikoma uses Senkū Kogetsu to slash Yūma in midair. Yūma Bails Out, giving Ikoma Unit one point. Chika voluntarily Bails Out, leaving Ikoma as the sole survivor. However, Tamakoma Second claims the victory as it garnered the most points. Tōma, Kunichika, and Kitazoe discuss the match; the verdict being that Tamakoma Second's strategy hinged on the completion of the wire formation. Also, the team is heavily dependent on Yūma. According to Tōma, what Tamakoma Second needs is a fighter who can hold their own against opponents.

Trivia

 * To commemorate the ending of Kochikame's 40 year serialization, Kankichi's characteristic eyebrows can be seen on the scope of Oki's Lightning during the rooftop scene where he is aiming at Chika. This was later removed in the tankōbon version of the chapter.
