After that, another "online news-worthy" incident occurred during "Sports Shinken Shirahadori," where you win if you can catch a sword using cymbals. Taking turns as the attacker and defender, Yashiro, who had gotten the hang of it, held the sword in a pitcher's stance and swung his arm with full force as if throwing a ball. Yashiro, who showed magnificent pitching befitting someone with baseball experience, was stopped by Namikawa with astonishing reflexes. Even Namikawa himself was surprised, saying "Did I... stop it?"

When they checked the VTR again due to this unexpected development and confirmed that Namikawa had indeed stopped it, the two burst into laughter. As Yashiro showed his frustration saying "This is amazing, (Namikawa-san) really stopped it," a shocking statement came from Yashiro's mouth. He said "It's torn though..." and it was revealed that the sponge part of the toy sword had split. When the program staff confessed "This is borrowed from Yo Asobi Saturday..." Namikawa desperately tried to cover by saying "We can stick some scotch tape on it (to fix it)..."
