Kin-chan and Koshimae are initially in the lead, thanks to the fact that the Taipei locals are charmed by the jungle boy from Japan, but their lead is quickly derailed by the fact that Kin-chan also has the sense of direction of a blind hummingbird. His strategy - if you can call it that - of calling Kenya-senpai for help doesn't do anything except get Team Battling Oshitaris just as lost as they are. Yuushi puts up with it for half an hour, and then makes Kenya abandon them.

It takes them another 45 minutes to figure out where the hell they're going.

Atobe, teamed with Kabaji, spends a lovely day in Taipei being ferried about on a litter while Kabaji does all the work more quickly and efficiently than the other teams combined. They win, naturally, and Atobe isn't even forced to open one of his Louis Vuitton bags.

Meanwhile, Ohtori and Shishido strike an unholy alliance with Team Fujis, and make it to the pitstop with almost no problems whatsoever. Ohtori says blandly to Sakaki that it was a very nice tour of Taipei. Team The Real Damn Golden Pair and Team Fujis come in third and second respectively. This annoys Shishido to no end.

Tezuka and Miyuki ONLY come in fourth, and its all oniichan's fault (he and Tachibana are in fifth, and he found...um. An herbal merchant.) They're followed, respectively, by Team Goya, Team Strawberry Custard Cake, and Team Data (Inui got distracted at the same merchant as Chitose, but for entirely different reasons.) Then it's Yuushi and Kenya, and Kin-chan and Koshimae, who make it barely before the final team, and 5 hours after Yuushi and Kenya.

Akutsu and Kawamura are last. The goddamn locals pissed Akutsu the hell off, and he had to kick their asses. It took a while.
