■The Kehai Giri Showdown Begins: Kensho Ono & Natsuki Hanae vs. Three Staff Members Dressed as "Horses"!

Appearing in yukata for "Summer Cooling Week," Ono wore a navy yukata, and Hanae wore a gray one. Viewers commented, "It suits them too much!", "The yukata is stunning!", and "So cool~!" The talk started with the yukata attire, evolving into a discussion about "unnecessary hair removal," setting a harmonious tone for the program.

This time, drawing from the association of yukata with traditional clothing, traditional clothing with samurai, and samurai with... the "Kehai Giri Challenge" was conducted. "Kehai Giri" is a game where participants, blindfolded, detect the presence of their opponent. Having previously faced Yoshimasa Hosoya in episode #12, Ono expressed enthusiasm, saying, "I've been waiting for this!" Hanae also confidently stated, "I'm quite skilled at Kehai Giri!"

The showdown was structured as a match between the Ono & Hanae team and a team of "three horses" played by staff members. The studio atmosphere remained surreal throughout, with moments like Hanae crashing into a horse. In the three-round one-on-one matches, Ono was defeated by the horse, while Hanae managed to drive one horse away but ended up self-destructing by entering the horse's range with a mysterious stepping move while swinging his sword. Disheartened by the result, Hanae exclaimed, "No way, seriously!?" Viewers also flooded in with reactions such as, "What are you doing, lol," "That's ridiculously funny, lol," and "You just got beaten simply, lol."
