Chihaya chases Amakasu while the four Mizusawa players face random matchups. Hokuou splits their cards to guarantee two wins, securing an overall three-win advantage. Chihaya and Taichi attack by forcing opponents into faults. Taichi pushes Retro into a fault, leveling the odds for Mizusawa. In the final card, Chihaya and Amakasu touch the card simultaneously on Amakasu's side, resulting in a Hokuou victory. Amakasu explains to Sudou that he moved only because he sensed Chihaya's movement. Tsukuba, his brothers, and Sumire join the Shiranami Society. Chihaya texts Arata that the final match was both the most fun and the most frustrating loss.
