The East-West War Arc
She went to Shimizu Keijo Stadium to participate in a yearly event held by Suruga and their rival, Setouchi Keijo Training School, known as the "East-West War" to prove which one is better between the two. Her friends were engaged in a commotion with Setouchi's students. However the conflict was stopped by Setouchi's teachers, Miku Kobayakawa and Hitomi Hokuto, who apologized to Suruga.[1] A short time later, along with her friends, she went to check Maya Sakashiro, since Maya's clothes were torn by Nozomi Kaminashi. Kurogiri mentioned that the ribbon girl would clash with Maya.[2] On the day of race, Kurogiri got her turn in the second group.
After the end of the first match, she was gathered along with Mai Itoeda, Kei Higuchi, and Sanae Hououin. Their coach told them that they lost the first match because Setouchi's representatives from the first group were indeed talented, but they could see what kind of people they would face off.[3] She entered the match against Setouchi's representatives of the second group, consisting of Usagi Tsukishita, Atsuko Yoshida, Kazane Aoba, and Non Toyoguchi. While heading to the arena she stated that the fairies were whispering quite happy.[4]

As the match started, Mai began fighting Usagi, while Yoshida approached her. Kurogiri prepared her "Fairy Butt" before blocking and countering Yoshida. Shortly after, her teammates also began fighting with their own opponents. Mai stated that they needed to finish them off quickly. But soon, Kazane ordered something to her teammates. Non and Yoshida then jumped to flip the Land over. Thus, Mai and Higuchi lost their balance and fell down to the pool, defeated. On the other hand, Sanae and Kurogiri were able to survive, continued their fight with Setouchi.[5]

Later, Sanae immediately defeated Yoshida, and began fighting Kazane. Kurogiri then attacked Non, pushing her away. Shortly after, Kazane asked Non and Usagi to handle Kurogiri.[6] Sometime later, Sanae was cornered by Kazane, who use her "Hip of Babylon. As such, Sanae decided to use her secret technique, "Pie Pile Piper", pushing Kazane away. However, when Sanae tried to attack Kazane for the second time, Non ambushed her. Sanae noticed that they managed to corner Kurogiri, as Kurogiri's "Fairy Butt" returned to its original shape.[7] Sanae then decided to assist Kurogiri, defeating Usagi. But soon, Kurogiri was defeated by Non and Kazane, leaving Sanae as the last Suruga's player. However, thanks to Sanae, Suruga managed to win the second match.[8]
Suruga lost the first match, but they won the second match. Thus the outcome would depend on the third match. During the final match, Kurogiri cheered Maya up from the bench. However, Maya was ultimately defeated by Nozomi, thus Suruga lost the eleventh East-West War competition.[9]
