Chihaya chooses to go on her class trip in hopes to come closer to fulfilling her dream of being a teacher, but she spends the entire time lost in space, wondering how Taichi is doing at the Master tournament qualifiers. Harada and Inokuma are also participating in the East Japan qualifiers, but as Taichi tries to quietly psych himself up, someone unexpected shows up to get in his way. Meanwhile, at the West Japan qualifiers, Master Suo makes a surprising comment to Arata.
Of course you did! That old dude's
 just been getting by on beginner's luck!
بالطبع فزت! ذاك المُسن مجرد مُبتدئ
صعد على موجة اندفاع للوصول هنا
Klar hast du das! Der alte Sack
war bloß ein Anfänger mit zu viel Glück!
Claro. Ese tipo es un novato
que solo tuvo suerte.
Claro. Ese tío es un novato
que solo tuvo suerte.
Bien sûr, la chance du débutant
du vioc a pris fin.
Ma certo che hai vinto! Quel tizio è arrivato
 fin qui grazie all'entusiasmo dei principianti!
Claro que sim, né! Ele é só 
um velhote iniciante com sorte!
Разумеется! Тот старик
ведь зелёный новичок!
