• Ya Bao accidentally knocked out Quan Gou Baboon, leaving Qiao Sang lamenting the lost points and resolving to control the rest of the battle herself.
• Qiao Sang ordered Ya Bao to attack Bobonari with Flame Claw, but Bobonari dodged and then evaded Ya Bao’s Clones and Air Blades.

• Bobonari broke free of Ya Bao’s clones, but Qiao Sang’s team wore it down with attacks from Ya Bao and the Little Steel Falcon.
