Gion joined the rugby team because he was fascinated by tackling, leading him to believe that rugby is solely about tackling. During an intrasquad match, he ignores teamwork and basic skills, focusing entirely on tackling repeatedly. This behavior draws harsh criticism from Komori, which causes Gion to become depressed. Iwashimizu notices his distress and attempts to cheer him up. The episode explores whether Iwashimizu’s words can successfully reach Gion and help him overcome his depression.
