Chihaya chooses to go on her class trip in hopes to come closer to fulfilling her dream of being a teacher, but she spends the entire time lost in space, wondering how Taichi is doing at the Master tournament qualifiers. Harada and Inokuma are also participating in the East Japan qualifiers, but as Taichi tries to quietly psych himself up, someone unexpected shows up to get in his way. Meanwhile, at the West Japan qualifiers, Master Suo makes a surprising comment to Arata.
If you want to bring down the general,
shoot his horse first.
إن أردت الإطاحة بالقائد العسكري، فأطح بفرسه أوّلاً
„Wer den General zu Fall bringen will,
muss beim Pferd anfangen.“
Si quieres derribar al general,
primero ve por su caballo.
Si quieres derribar al general,
primero ve a por el caballo.
Si je veux le fils,
je dois plaire à la mère.
Se vuoi sconfiggere un generale,
 punta prima al cavallo...
Se quer acabar com o general, 
comece pelo cavalo.
Хочешь убить генерала,
стреляй в его лошадь.
