Battle 201 is also called "Night of Determination"
Summary
After Sakaki hit the Shinpaku Alliance for recklessly coming to the island, Diego was seemingly angry at the Shinpaku for ruining his show. But, he seemed to like them for trespassing with nice methods and allowed the Shinpaku Alliance to participate in the tournament. However, Diego warned him that in the tournament there'll always be people that would die. Kenichi and Niijima were fighting over the mistake Niijima may have have caused until one of the teams called, Pankration, showed up. The leader shook Kenichi's hand, but it was to test Kenichi's strength. Kenichi and Ma were then approached by another tem in the tournament called the Three Headed Dragon, made up of the 3 Biggest Chinese Martial Arts. The leader insulted Kenichi and Shinpaku Alliance for looking so weak. Ma explained that a millenium ago, his ancestors killed 10 of the Three Headed Dragon's chiefs. The Three Heade held a deep grudge, so Ma suggested to Kenichi that he should exterminate them.
In Kenichi's room, the Shinpaku Alliance was enjoying the luxuries even though they had their own rooms. Kenichi noticed that Natsu didn't come. Matsui explained that when the island's missiles locked onto them, Natsu sacrificed himself to get everyone into the fort's blind spot.
Kenichi ran outside to the balcony thinking what happened to Tanimoto until he saw Ukita. Ukita was scared of a fight, since he wasn't training as hard as the others, but still decided to fight. Kenichi sort of comforted Ukita how scared he was as well. Ukita then told Kenichi to keep it a secret for Kisara, even though she and Freya were eavesdropping. Freya thought that Ukita was putting his body on the line for Kisara.
In another room, Sakaki got back to the other masters from viewing the security and concluded that Ryouzanpaku can't search unless they defeat 20-30 guards. The elder noticed that the Intruder Defense Systems are located in the middle of Despair Island. The elder then told everyone to prepare for tommorrow.
In the morning, Kenichi, Miu, and the Shinpaku Alliance got ready and headed to the coliseum for the DofD Tournament.
