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...
but I'm still not familiar
with your home base.
لكني لم أستطع تذكر موقع قاعدتكم
aber mir wollte nicht einfallen,
wo eure Basis ist.
pero aún no conozco
muy bien su territorio.
pero aún no conozco
muy bien vuestro territorio.
mais je me souvenais plus
où était votre base.
ma non sono ancora pratico
 del vostro quartier generale.
mas ainda não me familiarizei
com o lugar da base de vocês.
но не знал, где ваша база.
