Sawamura goes to tell Miyuki about Okumura's outburst, but remembers his own conflict with upperclassmen and judging Chris before knowing his situation. In the spring tournament, Teito's game against Ugumori finishes and Seido will face Kasgua First High in the quarterfinals. Will Furuya start, or Sawamura?

If we trip up now, we won't 
stand a chance at nationals!
إن تعثّرنا الآن فلن تكون لنا فرصة 
في البطولة الوطنية
¡Si tropezamos ahora,
no lo lograremos en el nacional!
¡Si tropezamos ahora,
no lo lograremos en el nacional!
Si je me plante ici, je pourrai pas
prétendre au titre national !
Non possiamo esitare ora
o non avremo speranze, al campionato nazionale!
Se pisarmos na bola agora,
não teremos chance no nacional!
Если сдуемся сейчас, 
национальных нам не видать!
