One of Remi's friends wonders aloud why the only photos she had taken during the practice kendo match was of Miyako. Remi answers by saying that everything else was meaningless, and her friend suggests that she introduce Miyako to him. This angers Remi to a great extent. Satori continues denying that she wants to join the kendo club, but as she leaves the room, Kirino and Sayako can see yearning in her eyes. In the meantime, Ishida is playing a video game which he keeps losing at. Yoshikawa sees his failure and so she shows him how to play it properly. Then she says they should have a match, but she's interrupted when Kirino and Sayako enter the office. They show off their list of various nicknames for Satori, but Ishia waves if off and tells them once more that Satori can't join the club. The girls disagree and describe Satori's crave to participate in kendo, but Ishida is hardly convinced. This saddens them and Kirino and Sayako cry as they dash out of the room.  Miyako sees this and decides something on her own.

Later Dan asks if Miyako wants to go to the club with him, but she refuses because she has to do cleaning chores. It was a lie so that she could talk to Satori alone. She goes into Satori's homeroom to see her cleaning all by herself, and offers a hand because she had helped her previously. When Satori mentions how much she enjoys kendo, Miyako jumps straight to the point by ordering her to join the club. Satori says no because she still has a lot of studying to do in order to get into a university, but Miyako informs her that if she doesn't join kendo, she will never become any smarter. Miyako then takes Dan, Yuuji and Kirino as examples because their intelligence is very high and top-notch. After exposing the last and best benefits of joining the kendo club, Miyako has Satori completely hooked, thus caught in her web. Hence, Satori signs up for the kendo club and this pleases everyone on the team, especially Kirino and Sayako. Later Ishida tells Kenzaburo that he now has an official kendo club team, but the matters of preparing for a national tournament are suddenly mentioned.

After a while, Ishida tells everyone in the kendo club how happy he is and how much things have changed since it was just him and Kirino. Then Satori enters the room, telling everyone that she has finally convinced her parents to let her join the kendo club, and that Yoshikawa helped her. Dan and Kirino instantly decide to help her study, naturally becoming her tutor. Shortly afterwards, Ishida introduces his students to a new program he had been planning: a training camp. However, Kirino and Satori's motivation plummets once they find out that it will be happening in the kendo club room. But Ishida comforts their depression by telling them that Kenzaburo's club members will be coming to help out. While taking the usual route home, Yuji tells Tamaki that he had been to a training camp before as well. When Tamaki returns home, she tells her father about the training camp. However, her father easily becomes unsettled when she says that Yuji will be there too. Before Tamaki falls asleep, she tells herself that she is glad that she will not be missing her favourite anime series, and dreams of what will take place at the training camp.

Thoughts: Oh, I've missed Bamboo Blade so much, even though it didn't air for only one week. Seriously, Bamboo Blade has got to be one of the best sport anime ever. This episode was truly hilarious, especially since we were able to see more of Kirino and Sayako antics. I wonder why Tamaki's father grew worried because Yuji was going to be at the camp as well? Hopefully we find out in the next episode. And I wonder why he left the Kawazoe kendo club in the first place. Anyway, I'm never really fond of anime that have too many girls in them, but I think my opinion on that had changed ever since I started watching Bamboo Blade.
