Battle Club

The series follows Mokichi and Tamako, two high school students who are members of the Swan Academy Wrestling Club.

Mokichi attempts to become the "dominant male" at Swan Academy Senior High School by beating everyone with a baseball bat.

Mokichi challenges Tamako, who soundly beats him, after which he is stripped of his pants and tied to a fence half-naked.

Embarrassed, he enters the Swan Wrestling Club where he witnesses Tamako being punished for failing an errand.

Unable to move her with traditional means, he strips her panties, startling Tamako, and then flips her.

In a match, she immediately proves herself capable of living up to this claim, easily outclassing Vice-Captain Higuchi and winning in points.

Higuchi suddenly breaks free of Mukoda's pin, followed by a quick maneuver in an attempt to suplex the latter.

She proceeds to finish Higuchi off while simultaneously telling her that she's the weakest member of Black Dragon Academy Club, completely ignoring Tondemon's protests.

This forces Mukoda to apply a butterfly suplex, causing a significant amount of damage to the gym.

Tamako is inspired to get stronger for the sake of Higuchi and she sets off with Mokichi to find Higashi, the coach of the club, at Ihi Peak.

Mokichi gives up easily, but Tamako does not and eventually plucks a few hairs from the panda before she collapses unconscious.

On land, she learns from Kongoa that Koumoku has become like a fish because of an event with her father and an axe that holds his spirit.

He beats her and forces her to join the Wrestling Club by blackmailing her with a compromising picture he took of her while unconscious.

However, she has fallen from the tower and grabs a small ledge on the side of a cliff and catapults herself back to the top to finish the fight.

A fight starts and Mokichi realizes that he has indeed become stronger, but immediately cowers when a thug reveals a dagger and intimidated him with it.

The Swan Academy Wrestling Club has their first practice match with Shark Island High School.

The school is in bad shape, students do drugs and a girl is having sex with three boys in the men's bathroom.

Mokichi is determined to raise Tamako's spirit by bringing her to the movies, dinner and a romantic roof top.

It is revealed that Komouku and other members of NOB practice collective martial arts and not simply wrestling.

Rather than fight her, Dazai tells her about NOB's plot to destroy the Swan Academy Wrestling Club and advises her to leave.

In the flashback, Mokouda was a student of Tondemon's where he was grooming her to be the next champion in the spirit of Tamami, Tamako's mother.

Contented with this explanation, Tamako and (a not-so-convinced) Mokichi invite Shiba to join them at the Community Sports Center for some physical rehab.

Tamako challenges Shiba to see who can stay in the sauna the longest, with the loser joining the other's club.

Tamako "wins" (not really, on account that she fainted) and Shiba joins the Wrestling Club (after recovering from trauma brought about by the experience).

Tamako, Mokichi and Shiba go to a restaurant to eat to find it is owned by Akutagawa's family and he works there.

Also, a similar business across the street, called Kanna Miller's, is using large breasted waitresses to attract customers.

Akutagawa's restaurant hosts a contest where if the customer eats a bowl of soba faster than Tamako, you get 5,000 yen or she sheds a piece of clothing.

Mokichi gets to remove words he translates correctly, but seeing Tamako naked makes him tackle her.

Mokichi poses naked in front of the entire school based on a joke Higuchi perpetrated.

Later, Taki and Mokichi confront the ghost as an evil spirit, attempting to release Tamako of its spell.
