Ep. 8: Genzo recruits beastmen for matches while Wolfgang replaces Heat Haze in a tag team bout

Genzo attempts to include beasts in the matches, but Clause suggests beast men instead. Genzo sees the kobold he always flirts with and decides to ask her husband to participate. The husband, believing Genzo wants to steal his wife, fights him, and though he loses he recalls his youth as a warrior. The kobold wife is confused that Genzo appears to have stolen her husband. Genzo then tries to ask Wolfgang, but he is still traumatized so Misha decides to participate instead. Genzo also recruits orcs and hunters, though he knocks out Heat Haze for trying to use weapons. A hooded figure watches the tournament from a distance. Meanwhile, Princess Altena learns about the tournament and recognizes Genzo on the flyer. As the matches begin, they are hugely popular. Genzo and Carmilla form a tag team against Misha and Heat Haze. The hooded figure is revealed to be Wolfgang and he is coerced into replacing Heat Haze. As the crowd grows rowdier, Shigure admits the drama of Wolfgang and Genzo's rivalry is good entertainment. Genzo ultimately declares the tournament a success. Shigure is later furious after all the tournament profits have been wasted.
