As the summer cleansing ceremony approaches, Tatsuo tells Satoru to invite some friends, which leaves him flustered. He continues to practice hard as a member of the kendo club, but he hasn't managed to break the ice with the other members. One day, he gets in a fight with Kosugi, another member, and ends up in a kendo match against Kinugawa, the captain.
It's not like I enjoy fighting 
people bigger than me.
Es ist ja nicht so,
 dass ich gerne gegen Größere kämpfe.
Y yo no soy bueno peleando 
contra oponentes grandes.
Y a mí no se me da bien enfrentarme 
a oponentes grandes.
Moi aussi, j’ai du mal 
avec les grands.
Anche a me non piacciono 
gli avversari più grossi di me.
Eu também não gosto de lutar
com gente maior que eu.
