While walking home with Musa, Kakeru runs into reigning champion Rikudo's Fujioka Kazuma.
When Kakeru can't let go of the inconsiderate remarks made by some passers-by, Fujioka methodically and without faltering shows him the answer.
Then Fujioka tells them about his shared history with Haiji.
The burden Haiji has borne alone. The response he gave to Fujioka.
In Fujioka's words, Kakeru begins to sense the meaning of the "strength" Haiji once described to him.
Meanwhile, Haiji is at a consultation with his doctor.
His eyes are glued to the harsh reality they see...
we'll know Rikudo's strategy
is to wait out the first half
سنعرف أن استراتيجية ريكودو هي انتظار النصف الأوّل
können wir davon ausgehen, dass die Rikudō
statt auf den Hinweg alles auf die zweite Hälfte setzt.
sabremos que Rikudo se tomará
la primera mitad con calma
sabremos que Rikudo se tomará
la primera mitad con calma
leur tactique sera donc
sapremo che la loro strategia
saberemos que a estratégia da
Rikudo é esperar o primeiro tempo
значит, «Рикудо» перейдёт в нападение
только во второй половине.
