[19:27] Kanade     You said you were going to win, [19:30] Kanade     so I wanted to be there to see it. [19:37] Kanade     But... [19:38] Kanade     It looks like I'll get to Class B before that. [19:42] Kanade     I'll catch up to you in no time! [19:45] Kanade     Come on, let's go. [19:48] Tsutomu     I'm not the only one with high hopes for me. [19:52] Kanade     I bet it's getting pretty crazy     in the Class A room. [19:56] Tsutomu     I'm not the only one watching me. SIGN    My lack of practice due to studying for entrance exams showed... [20:00] Kanade     Both Chihaya-chan and the Prez     won their matches! SIGN    Amazing. [20:04] Kanade     And Porky-kun... SIGN    Nishida Yusei     20      Sudo Akito [20:08] Chihaya     The fiercest battle of all,     right in the first round: [20:11] Chihaya     Porky-kun versus Sudo-san. [20:14] Sudo     What's with this guy? I took a     ten-card lead in the first half. [20:18] Kitano     Yusei's hanging in there!     He's sticking with it! [20:21] Sudo     When I led him by twenty cards last year, [20:24] Sudo     I was impressed that     he actually knew when to give up... [20:28] Nishida     Don't give up. I can keep fighting. [20:31] Nishida     I can keep struggling     until the very last card! [20:35] Sudo     You've burned off enough fat     to pass for lean meat, huh? [20:44] Sudo     Don't keep fighting when     you're going to lose. [20:46] Sudo     You tired me out in the first match. [20:51] Kitano     Yusei... you've grown so much! [20:55] Nishida     Sudo-san is good. He'll be an obstacle. [20:59] Nishida     He's going to be a major obstacle     for my teammates! [21:04] Nishida     I couldn't win, but I wore     him down as much as I could. [21:08] Nishida     One of my teammates is gonna win! [21:11] Nishida     Just watch! [21:13] (Flashback) Harada     A team match is an individual match. [21:16] (Flashback) Harada     An individual match is a team match. [21:19] Taichi     I always thought [21:20] Taichi     individual matches were where     everyone fought on their own [21:23] Taichi     just to try to raise their own levels... [21:28] Taichi     But they're not. [21:30] Taichi     Individual matches are the real team matches!
