Ep. 49: Takezono faces Kainan while Oda plays through a hidden injury
Aired on December 24, 1994
The game between Takezono and Kainan begins with Kainan deploying only two starters, a strategy that appears sufficient to defeat their opponents. Takezono faces additional difficulties due to Oda, whose injury is known only to Yohko and Sakuragi. This undisclosed physical issue is visibly impairing Oda's performance on the court, creating a significant challenge for his team as they struggle against Kainan's efficient lineup.
