The prefectural tournament begins. Yokohama Minato is off to a smooth start as they win their matches. However, Matsuda is shut out by Hojo High School's Okazaki in the quarterfinals. Okazaki burns with a fierce fighting spirit. This is his last year to get revenge on Yusa. His sharp and determined eyes have the intensity of a beast pursuing its prey. It's up to Ryo to avenge Matsuda as he takes on Okazaki in the semifinals. Ryo attempts to ignore Okazaki's provocation and focus on playing his way, but...
Matsuda-kun's the better player, 
but he's on the back foot.

só que está numa pior.
У Мацуды лучше техника, 
но он не может разыграться.
