"The Crazy 8's Tournament"

In one adrenaline-pumping arc, the Knight Cards entered the thrilling - and deadly - Crazy 8's tournament. With competitors like the nan-weapon-wielding "Masterinish" and the giant, unstoppable "Tanktop", our heroes had to bring their A-game. This high-stakes adventure delivered all the martial arts action fans were craving, with a healthy dose of humor and camaraderie.
