6

Seigaku defeats Shintenhouji to secure their spot in the finals. Rikkaidai members explain that their initial losses were intentional to demonstrate Akaya Kirihara’s full capabilities. Kirihara undergoes a transformation to prepare for the upcoming final match against Seigaku. Meanwhile, Kintarou refuses to wait a year to challenge Ryoma, whom he refers to as Koshimae. He requests an immediate one-point match to test his skills against Ryoma before the tournament concludes. This confrontation arises from Kintarou’s impatience to face his rival directly rather than waiting for the next year’s competition.
