Еп. 9: Мінато стикається зі своїм минулим «я» і майже кидає водне поло

Eitarou tries to convince Minato to return to practicing with Yamanami's team, but Minato refuses and leaves the conversation convinced that the Yamanami team is beneath him. Minato visits Riku, who reveals that Coach Bizen often compares him to Minato and that he wants to defeat Minato at the prefectural tournament to prove that he is better than Minato. It is also implied that the reason Minato became so arrogant was because Coach Bizen instructed him that an ace "has to be selfish." Discontent with Riku's statement of determination to be victorious, Minato announces that he's quit water polo and leaves Riku grimacing with anger. After overhearing his family's discussion of his regaining his memories, Minato angrily screams at them before running to his room, where he discovers a video that he recorded for himself in case he regained his old memories but lost his new ones. In the video, Minato's previous self introduces him to the Yamanami water polo team and explains the meaningful friendship that he shares with them. Moved by the team's seriousness about winning, Minato decides not to quit. Though he is condescending toward the other members at the start of practice, they still support him when he discovers that his loss of muscle has stopped his body from moving with the same strength that he used to possess. Despite this display of camaraderie, however, Minato remains determined to prove that he alone can win against any team. After Chinu discovers that Minato has regained his middle-school memories and become much the same person he was back then, she says she wants nothing more to do with him. (Source: Wikipedia)
