Samu's tail was wagging furiously when he saw the Turtle student lose.  "Yeah!  Eno, you can take out all of the competition, especially stupid Roshi's students!"  He wasn't upset that he didn't make fight any of the Turtle students because he figured he would fight them in the tournament.  Overall, Samu felt amazing just because his best friend Eno was competing with him.

Akita felt an excitement course through her when he asked the eight finalists to come back later.  "Kiro, that's us!" Akita said, voice full of enthusiasm, "Oh, Shin, that means you too, huh?  Congrats!"  She knew how hard Kiro had worked for his place in the tournament and was happy that he made it.  Frankly, the shock from her making it to the tournament still didn't wear off.  Then she realized everyone was being kicked out, or at least they were just leaving.  "Come on, Kiro, we should head back to Master Roshi," Akita told him.  "You can tag along too, Shin."  The boy didn't seem like he came with anyone else, so she figured inviting him couldn't hurt.  "By the way, where did you get the tail?" she asked as they exited.

Once Ally heard the announcement about the finalists and got her nose all patched up, she looked up to see Kiro, Akita, and some boy all leaving the building together.  She figured it was time for her to join them and stop feeling sorry for herself.  "I have to go, Gin, but listen while you fight, I'll be rooting for you," Ally said, flashing him a smile before catching up with the other Turtles.  "I can't believe you two really did it!" Ally told her friends, genuinely proud of them.  She then recognized Shin as another finalist and said, "Oh yeah, you made it too, huh?  Congratulations!"
