Ranking matches for the prefectural tournament are being held again this year. As usual, it's a round robin involving the entire team. During lunch on the day of the matches, the second-years hype themselves up by eating dishes such as tonkatsu for good luck. Later, while Ryo and Matsuda are returning to their classroom together, they overhear the third-years' conversation and learn how they truly feel as they complain about the second-years bound to place well in the ranking matches. Ryo ignores their complaints and focuses on the matches, but Matsuda's expression remains overcast--
I thought he was on his way 
to beating Tamura-san, too.
.ظننت انه سيقوم بهزيمة تامورا-سان أنا أيضا
Ich hab auch gedacht,
dass er gegen Tamura gewinnt.
Vu comme il était parti,
je pensais qu’il battrait Tamura.
Anche io pensavo che avrebbe vinto 
facilmente contro Tamura.
Achei que ele ia vencer o Tamura.
Мне казалось, что Тамуру-то
 он должен победить.
