Arata wonders why he feels so relieved to learn that Taichi lost his match, even as dark memories of a similar feeling at the Yoshino Tournament come back to him, leaving him unable to concentrate fully on his match in the finals. His opponent, Murao, realizes that Arata isn't himself and sees an opportunity, but then...
Murao-kun was in a slump for a while,
but he's back on his feet.
كان موراو-كن يمرّ بفترة هبوط مستوى
لكنه عاد لهيئته
Murao-kun steckte lange Zeit in einem Tief,
aber jetzt ist er wieder voll da.
Murao-kun tuvo problemas un tiempo,
pero se recuperó.
Murao-kun tuvo una mala racha,
pero ya se recuperó.
Murao-kun ha passato un periodo nero,
 ma ora è tornato alla grande.
O Murao-kun esteve em declínio, 
mas agora ele está de volta.
Мурао на время потерял
хватку, но теперь взял себя в руки.
