Plot
Buster Bros!!! arranged a meeting, however, since Jiro messed up and told Ichiro a wrong location, he and Saburo are alone. Suddenly, they are confronted by Tender Loinz and their leader, Samedzuka Koroishi, who was previously defeated by Ichiro. Tender Loinz prepare to get back at Buster Bros!!! by taking down Jiro and Saburo, however, Ichiro arrives at the scene, scaring off Samedzuka and his men.

Later, Ichiro comes to a cafe to finish a request and collect his payment. However, a bank robber breaks into a cafe and takes all customer hostages, while threatening to use his illegal Hypnosis Mics against them. Learning about the situation from a breaking news report, Jiro and Saburo rush to a cafe to help Ichiro, since he left his mic at home. Hifumi and Doppo watch a TV report about the incident and inform Jakurai and he tells them not to worry, since Ichiro is able to deal with it by himself.

The police officers surround a cafe, while Ichiro tries to confront the robber himself, without a mic. Although the robber doesn't have the proper skills, he's able to damage Ichiro badly. Meanwhile, Saburo hacks into a cafe's security systems to watch the situation from cameras. Ichiro, knowing that Saburo might've watched him, quietly signals him about the window, which Jiro and Saburo decide to use as an entrance point to give Ichiro his mic.

Jiro breaks a window with a football, so Saburo throws the mic to Ichiro and together, Buster Bros!!! defeat the robber. They leave the scene, leaving the police to apprehend the robber and help the hostages. Meanwhile, Tom, Iris and T. Rex watch over Buster Bros!!!, the Division Rap Battle candidates and Tom notices that they're sure interesting.
