    In that case, I'll put some spin on
    my shots to catch them off-guard.
[04:37] Hayato
    Even if they hit attack lobs,
    I'll force the smash!
[04:45] Tatsuru
    They're not making this easy.
[04:51] Mikoto
    In this game, we've focused
    our shots on Kirishima Hayato.
[04:55] Mikoto
    They'll assume we'll do the same
    thing again, but we'll outwit them.

    Perfect.

    So that's what you meant when
    you said the gym would favor us.

    If he smashes, you have to
    return it, no matter what.

    played an actual match.
[20:30] Ono
    You're not especially young, either.
[20:35] Ono
    So you'd better play like
    your life depends on it.
[20:39] Ono
    You got that, Usuyama?
[20:42] Usuyama
    Yes, sir!
[20:43] Tatsuru
    You made us wait long enough.
[20:47] Ono
    Out in the sixth round. That's how
    strong you guys are right now.
[20:52] Ono
    Based on that, I've gotta ask:
    how far do you want to go?
[20:55] Mikoto
    Winning the S/J League.
[20:57] Mikoto
    What other answer is there?
[20:58] Toya
    Wow, so confident.
[21:00] Tatsuru
    It's worth a shot.
[21:02] Takeda
    It'd be nice to win.
[21:05] Sota
    Let's go with that, then.
[21:08] Ono
    Then that's the team's goal.
[21:10] Ono
    We've got five months until the S/J League.
[21:13] Ono
    There isn't a moment to waste. Got it?!
[21:16] All
    Yes, sir!
[22:56] Managing Director
    I see. So they lost.
[23:03] Managing Director
    A weak team is a useless team.
[23:08] Managing Director
    We must discard anything that's
    a burden to the company.
