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--
I focused solely on doing all I could to
 chase down the shuttle in front of me.
.ركّزت على القيام بكل ما يمكنني لمطاردة الكرة التي أمامي
Ich hab mich nur darauf konzentriert,
dem Federball nachzujagen.
Solo me centré en perseguir el volante.
Solo me centré en perseguir el volante.
J’essayais désespérément
de rattraper le volant.
Mi sono concentrato nel fare qualsiasi cosa
in mio potere per respingere il volano.
Me concentrei apenas em fazer o que pudesse
para ir atrás da peteca na minha frente.
Тогда я полностью сконцентрировался
 на волане перед собой.
