The second half of the match begins. Ojo and Takaya battle furiously, switching from offense to defense and back again. Noukin closes the point gap to four points. Then, Iura tells Ojo he can't go out on the next raid. If Ojo, tired as he is, gets injured, they won't be able to enter the upcoming tournament. It's a decision made to keep Noukin's dreams from ending. Once Ojo understands Iura's true intentions, he entrusts the task of sending Takaya out to Yoigoshi.
Saying that the weak tried their 
hardest is just pretty words.
Dem Schwächeren zu sagen, dass er alles
versucht hat, ist nett. Aber verloren ist verloren.
Aunque nos digan que nos esforzamos,
Aunque nos digan que nos esforzamos,
Même si c’est bien
pour une petite équipe,
"Il novellino ce l'ha messa tutta"
 sono solo belle parole.
Dizer que os fracos se esforçaram ao 
máximo são apenas palavras bonitas.
Говорить, что слабые сделали всё, 
что могли, — пустые слова.
