A new challenger with mysterious motivations approaches Tobi for a game of one-on-one. Meanwhile, Sora returns, but the basketball team isn’t the same club he left behind.

It may be raining, but nothing can douse Sora and his teammates’ fiery passion for basketball. Proving that passion to the administration, however, is another matter entirely.

Chiba is determined to take Maru High to the top! And with only one more chance to reach the inter-high, they’ll have to pull out all the stops to beat Yokohama Taiei.

Yokohama Taiei is a force to be reckoned with, but not everyone is suited for a spot on this infamous team. Elsewhere, Sora seeks out a previous opponent for guidance.

The day of the match against Yokohama Taiei descends along with a wave of unprecedented heat… and Tobi is nowhere to be found.

After a rocky start, Kuzu plays surprisingly well again Yokohama Taiei — but when a new player enters the game, the tide abruptly turns.

At rock bottom, the only way to go is up. Tobi knows this all too well, and he’s determined to take Kuzu High all the way to the top! But first they need to take Taiei down…

What’s a pint-sized point guard to do when the opposition shuts down every play? Advice on the matter comes from an unexpected source, but it may do more harm than good.

Tobi and Sora have something in common: rivalries with other players. Too bad Tobi’s rivalry seems so one-sided… for now, at least.

Once they find the spark that sets them alight, Kuzu High will not be stopped. The spark that sets Sora ablaze? Another player who will bring out his full potential.

Sora gets a run for his money when a pokerfaced new player leaps onto the court — and into the role of the opposition’s point guard.

Some players run toward the finish line; others stop or slow down along the way. With Chiaki’s help, Tobi intends to sprint straight to winning against Yokohama Taiei!

It’s the final period of their match against Yokohama, and the fate of the Kuzu High basketball team hangs entirely upon their performance in the last few seconds of the game.

The match is finally over, and one question remains: Have the players of Kuzu High done enough to save the basketball club, or have their inter-high dreams come to an end?
