Tokyo Metropolis League has opened. Ashito and others have their first official match against Seikyo High, but the mood of the team has been awful since the fight on the day of the entrance ceremony. The Esperion Youth B team struggles to coordinate, despite being chosen as a starter, Ashito hasn't found the answer to Date's assignment. Frustrated, Taira suggests that the first-year players switched out.
No matter how tight the defense might be,
،مهما كان دفاع الخصم محكمًا
Egal, wie eng sie decken,
Por muy férrea que sea su defensa,
Por muy férrea que sea su defensa,
Une défense aura beau être compacte,
trois joueurs en parfaite harmonie
Per quanto la difesa sia impenetrabile,
Não importa quantos estão na defesa,
Какой бы крепкой ни была защита…
