Aired on December 18, 1985

Asuka refuses to cease her flirtatious behavior toward her brother, prompting her mother to propose a decisive wager. The terms dictate that if the brother defeats Asuka in combat, she must abandon her plans to marry him. However, the significant disparity in their martial abilities suggests that Asuka is nearly guaranteed to win the fight. To counter this disadvantage, the brother seeks assistance from Lum. The resulting confrontation takes an unexpected and strange turn as the characters engage in the battle.
