Gion and Iwashimizu join the Jinko rugby team. Captain Sekizan Takuya imposes a brutal training exercise known as "The Turtle" on Gion, who wants to practice tackling.

The Jinko rugby club's training camp has begun. As the team engages in intense practice, an old man appears and tells them they're wasting their time. The harsh words of former national team coach Komori Shingo leave the team at a loss. Meanwhile, Sekizan asks him what the team is lacking. Will Komori become the savior of the leaderless Jinko rugby team?

For Gion, who joined the rugby team after being charmed by tackling, rugby = tackling. Even during an intrasquad match, Gion neglects teamwork and the basics in favor of tackling and tackling and tackling... Komori has some harsh words for Gion! Gion becomes depressed... Concerned, Iwashimizu tries to cheer him up... Will his voice reach Gion?!

Joint practice with Keijo High. Since meeting Sekito, Gion has begun to see his own path. In order to become a flanker, he chooses to particiate in the fowards' practice. Gion is inspired by the hard work of the fowards of one of the best teams in Kangawa. To wrap things up, a practice game of Jinko & Keijo mixed teams is held!!

Though Gion has decided to become a flanker, he doesn't know what to practice. While watching Iwashimizu offer him advice, Hachioji is reminded of Sekizan's past... The unknown story of how Sekizan, who now leads the Jinko rugby team, joined the rugby team is revealed!

The Sugadaira summer training camp has finally begun!! Strong players from all over the country have gathered at Sugadaira, and every day several practice matches are conducted on the various fields. Naturally, Jinko has a match to play on their first day as well! Their first opponent is one of Osaka's top eight from the year before, the great Tenjiku Tech! Having endured their difficult training and overcome X Day, it's time for Jinko to show its true worth!!

Tenjiku performs as well as expected for a top eight school from the fiercely competitive region of Osaka! Physical ability, speed, and techinque... Tenjiu is a cut above Jinko in all respects. Furthermore, their team even contains Sakura Renpei, a player formerly chosen to play on Osaka's middle school team! But Jinko won't accept defeat!! The difficult training they overcame together wasn't just for show!!!!

"Renpei, you're the height of lame right now." With those words, the Tenjiku team's stagnant atmosphere begins to change. They begin closing the point gap between themselves and Jinko. In order to change the flow of the game, Jinko sends Oharano onto the field. Making ingenious use of Ebumi and Gion, Jinko regains their pace. When Gion scores his first try at the end of the battle, in his eyes are the hint of...

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...
