Ep. 22: Seiseki's Captain Amidst Crisis as Keiou Equalizes After First Half Survival
Aired on December 4, 2016
Seiseki faces a critical disadvantage after Nitobe receives a red card, leaving the team with only ten players. Keiou exploits this vulnerability by deploying their top two players, Kai and Maruoka, to apply intense pressure on Seiseki's goal. Despite the numerical deficit, Seiseki manages to survive the first half thanks to Usui's defensive efforts and Inohara's exceptional save. However, the respite is short-lived. Immediately following the start of the second half, Keiou launches a barrage of attacks that ultimately break through Seiseki's defense, resulting in the score being tied.
