Ep. 8: First-year Ban Nobutaka applies to join the kabaddi team with friends Seki Ryuta and Hitomi Yuki.
Aired on May 22, 2021
First-year student Ban Nobutaka arrives at the gym with a club application form, expressing his desire to join the kabaddi team. He is accompanied by fellow first-years Seki Ryuta and Hitomi Yuki, who claim he invited them. Ban has a distinctive appearance, featuring a pompadour hairstyle and a stern expression, yet he speaks in a surprisingly quiet voice. The group’s connection stems from Ban’s past acquaintance with Yoigoshi, dating back to their second-grade year. The narrative hints at a significant event that occurred on a particularly hot day during that time, which serves as the foundation for their current interaction and Ban’s unexpected interest in the sport.
