17

Tsurugi struggles with whether to assist Raimon, recalling events from Episode 16. Raimon faces Teikoku's Sargasso and Britannia Cross, losing possession to Kurama and Hayami. Mikado scores using his Keshin, but Sangoku fails to block the shot with Burning Catch, making it 0-2 due to Koutei Penguin 7 from Episode 16. At the hospital, Tsurugi Yuuichi overhears Kyousuke discussing making Raimon lose with his former coach. Yuuichi cries, leaving Kyousuke guilty. After the first half, Kyousuke joins Raimon despite Kurama's distrust, supported by Matsukaze. Tsurugi attempts Ultimate Thunder twice unsuccessfully due to worry about Yuuichi, but succeeds on the third try after recalling their happy soccer moments. Matsukaze scores with Mach Wind against Power Spike, bringing the score to 1-2. Mikado and Shindou use their Keshin, with Shindou breaking through. Nishizono scores with Buttobi Jump, and Tsurugi secures the win with Death Drop. Yuuichi watches happily. Endou questions Kidou about his Teikoku coaching and Fifth Sector ties.
