Synopsis
Tsuna's ring is taken from him for having interfered in Lambo's fight. As such, the result of the battles between the Varia and Tsuna's Family is at 2 to the Varia because of Tsuna's interruption and 1 to Tsuna and his Guardians. The fight of the Storm Guardians starts between Gokudera and Belphegor, who battle inside Nanimori High. Belphegor uses "flying" knives to stop all of Gokudera's dynamites. However, Gokudera discovers that all the knives are attached to threads, and manages to injure Bel by improving the movements of his bombs. When the school starts exploding, Gokudera heeds Tsuna's advice of escaping which results in his loss. As Xanxus hints that something happened to the 9th boss, Iemitsu returns to Italy to see what happened to the boss. Meanwhile, the fight between Yamamoto and Superbi Squalo, the swordsman who attacked Basil to get the Half Vongola Rings, starts at the underground level of Namimori Middle School.
