The Tokei Sword Bearers' Association announced on the 29th that the final, fifth round of the Autumn Five-Match Tournament will be held November 15 at the training hall near the wall course in Kameido. Tokei (2-1 overall), whose winning streak was snapped by Hokuto at the third round on October 18th as previously reported, is set to face Owari in a fourth-round rematch at the Owari training hall on November 8th, putting one week between that match and the final round. Chitose Kaname, 41, head of the Tokei association, previously reported, offered a brief comment: "It will be back-to-back matches, but I think the interval is enough to prepare properly." Soichi Gamo, 66, chairman of the Hinokuni Sword Bearers' Association, also previously reported, said, "All five rounds will be settled by mid-November. It has turned into an autumn with no shortage of milestones."
