<p>In episode 31, we were in the middle of the fight between Hien and Senkuu which ends with Hien dying and Genji Togashi preparing to take his place in the fight.</p>

<p>Suddenly we are shown Tazawa and Matsuo who survived the fall in the river and met the principle Edajima Heihachi who tells them that they are in the middle of the 4th battle.</p>

<p>This is followed by a brief summary of the missed fights in a short time.</p>

<p>Why did they skip the battles and fast forward to the final battle between Momotarou and Daigouin Jaki?</p>

Why did they skip the battles and fast forward to the final battle between Momotarou and Daigouin Jaki?
