Jo, the water polo captain, proposes that the team creates an original jersey. But emotionally attached to his own, Amihama declines saying, "I don't need a jersey."

The Yamanami water polo club nervously faces the day of the prefectural tournament. Minato spearheads the team as they battle Rikka Gakuen in the first match, but their opponents have come up with a strategy to keep Yamanami from going on the attack.

It's finally time for their second match of prefecturals--the long-awaited showdown with Shogakukan. Minato, Eitaro, Jo, Amihama, Ejiri, Babayaro, and Ushimado join their seven hearts as one and challenge the best team in Japan.
