LatestŌarai's team manages to defeat the Maus through a team effort, but Turtle Team's tank is damaged and disabled. The main Kuromorimine force descends on the town. In the fierce fighting, Ōarai's tanks are picked off, but Leopon's team blocks off a doorway, cutting off Miho and Maho's tanks from the rest of Black Forest's forces. A tank duel ensues between them, and Miho barely emerges victorious, winning the match in the process. The Ōarai crew and their fans celebrate their victory, ending with a parade through the town.
In this world, Sensha-do (戦車道), the art of tank-combat, is a traditional Japanese martial art for girls. Miho, a girl who just transferred into the Ōrai Girls' Academy in Ibaraki Prefecture, has been ordered by the academy's student council chairperson to join the school team and compete in the national Sensha-do championships.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show consulted actual tank museums and military historians; every vehicle's movement physics are surprisingly accurate for anime.
Sensha-do parodies the real Japanese concept of 'moe anthropomorphism' applied to weapons, plus the national obsession with high school club competitions.
