第 12 集: 挑戰者季後賽開打，原田擊敗新田，促使井熊戰勝惠與新田，從而獲得棄權勝。
The first round of the Challenger playoffs begins. Harada-sensei takes control of the match early on, with a consecutive take. Arata counters with his flexible style and speedy takes. Tsuboguchi remarks that Harada-sensei had been studying the old Arata too well, as the new Arata slowly puts the pressure on Harada-sensei. Meanwhile, Megumu also takes the lead against Inokuma. Inokuma wonders if her time really has passed, when Megumu sends the Chiha card, apparently unaware that Inokuma's maiden name was Chihara. Harada-sensei uses his vast experience, both as a teacher and a veteran player, to level the score and eventually win the first round. Inspired by Harada-sensei's win, Inokuma turns the table on Megumu and wins the first round by 2 cards. Harada-sensei then withdraws from the second round, giving Arata a win by default, which visibly upsets Arata. Chihaya then whispers something important to Arata. (Source: Wikipedia)
