Ep. 7: Amihama akzeptiert die Team-Trikots, nachdem er Jous Motivation für die Wiederbelebung des Wasserballclubs erfahren hat.

After an exhausting practice, Jou announces that Yamanami is getting official team tracksuits, a decision that disinterests Amihama, who says that he already has a tracksuit and has no desire to match with the other members of the team. Minato catches up with Amihama later, at which point the latter reveals that he's so adamant about using his own tracksuit because it was handed down to him by Riku. To Amihama, his tracksuit represents the possibility that he might one day beat Riku—and that Riku might finally view him as a rival and an equal again, a status Amihama lost when Riku was on Minato's team in middle school and began to view Minato as his rival instead. Later that day at practice, as the team is brainstorming slogans, Jou tells the team that his father used to be the captain of Yamanami's water polo club and that he and his father used to be very close; but after the death of his mother, the two have grown distant due to lack of communication. Jou also tells the team that he restarted the water polo club because he hoped it would give him and his father something to talk about again. After hearing Jou's motivation and learning that the idea behind matching tracksuits was to bring the team together, Amihama relents from his original position and agrees to wear the team tracksuit. When Minato returns home and reviews more DVDs of his middle-school practices, he happens across a recording of his being severely cruel to a teammate, leading him to question the kind of person he used to be.
