Meanwhile at the Vongola base, Yamamoto forces his teammates to form a circle again to get them pumped up. Shoichi devises a plan with Tsuna and Yamamoto on offense while Gokudera is in defense and that he and Spanner are to be in their base to locate their foes with which Tsuna agrees and the three head out on their motorcycles.
As Tsuna, Yamamoto and Gokudera go their separate ways, Shoichi and Spanner release some decoys that scatters, causing the Millefiore team to separate in order to eliminate the decoys one by one. With their plan a success, Shoichi and Spanner instruct the other three on what to do. With Shoichi's help, Tsuna is able to fool Torikabuto with a dummy which gives him an opening to attack...
