Ranking matches for the prefectural tournament are being held again this year. As usual, it's a round robin involving the entire team. During lunch on the day of the matches, the second-years hype themselves up by eating dishes such as tonkatsu for good luck. Later, while Ryo and Matsuda are returning to their classroom together, they overhear the third-years' conversation and learn how they truly feel as they complain about the second-years bound to place well in the ranking matches. Ryo ignores their complaints and focuses on the matches, but Matsuda's expression remains overcast--
it's possible Matsuda-kun is 
trying to shed his current self.
.من الممكن أنّ ماتسودا-كن يحاول تمزيق نفسه الحالية
könnte Matsuda versuchen,
es posible que Matsuda
esté saliendo de su capullo.
es posible que Matsuda
esté saliendo de su capullo.
Matsuda tente peut-être
de changer sa façon d’être.
magari Matsuda sta cercando
di trasformare il vecchio se stesso.
pode ser que o Matsuda esteja
tentando se livrar do casulo.
так и Мацуда сейчас 
проходит тяжёлый этап.
