Tsuji Kirihito has joined the club as a supervisor. The club's first step on the road to the national tournament is facing Eiga University High School in a practice match. The club members don't fully trust Kirihito, but they still go to Eiga High. There, Hinomaru encounters his former rival, National Treasure Kusunagi Sword, Kuze Sosuke.
But I've always felt like I've never 
faced a truly strong opponent.
.لكن لطالما شعرت أنّي لم أواجه خصمًا قويًّا بحقّ
Aber ich hatte seitdem keine
wirklich starken Gegner mehr.
Pero siempre sentí
que nunca tuve un oponente fuerte.
Pero siempre sentí
que nunca tuve un oponente fuerte.
mais si j’avais pas affronté
d’adversaire puissant,
Però ho sempre avuto l'impressione
di non aver mai affrontato
Mas nunca senti que tinha um
oponente forte de verdade.
Только мне казалось, что у меня никогда
не было по-настоящему сильного противника.
