The crowd cheers on yamamo as he continues his two-stick technique with ease. He has finished all 50 skewers of hoto and is on his way to the fire in the second set. Meanwhile, the other competitor, Ohara, is lagging behind yamamoto with 10 minutes to go. clink says that he won't worry about the speed of the amateur who ignores eating pace. Ohara is eating two hoto at a time, and clink notes that he has stopped eating two of the hoto in order to eat one of the remaining hoto. The other competitor is trying to imitate him, but clink points out that he is imitating a real contest, not a fake one.
