Encouraged by Komori and his friends, Sekizan begins practicing even harder. Though everything appears to be going well for Jinko, X Day isn't over yet!! Ise is unable to focus on rugby because of his situation at home. HaChioji does his best to be considerate of him, but he's spurned by Ise's older brother Haruki... Will another team member be leaving the Jinko rugby club?

The whistle sounds and the curtains close on a fierce battle. In their fight against Tenjiku, Jinko has achieved victory. At dinner after the game, Jinko finds themselves unable to celebrate their victory. However, when Komori asks the team, "Aren't you happy?", Sekizan and the others boil over with delight. Later Komori makes good on his promise to take Yoshida drinking, but at the bar they encounter...!

During a moment after their match has ended, Gion and his teammates run into a group of Ryoin players at a crepe shope. Yoshida's request pays off, and Ryoin agrees to play against Jinko in two days. With the upcoming match against Ryoin, Gion heads out to the field at night to get in some "secret training." However, someone has beaten him to the field... Kifune is already practicing there!

With the Ryoin match coming up, the stagnating Gion practices tackling with Kasuga, Hyosu, and Ise! On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is Susa. Susa tells Oharano he doesn't know how it feels to just barely make the cut. Oharano becomes enraged by Susa's words, and the two end up in an argument...
