Plot[]
Tokyo Nationals Arc[]
During the match, Yamaguchi serves, aiming at Teradomari but fails and instead gets to where Maiko and Kaikake are. Maiko tries to receive it but it ends up messy since he hesitated. After this, Ōsado scowls at them for taking so much time.[1] As the match progresses, Kinoshita is sent in as Karasuno's pinch server and not long after Tsubakihara does the same, benching Iwamuro for Himekawa. In the distance, Kaikake is seen supporting his teammate.
During Himekawa's first serve, he messes up and hits Teradomari's head but when serves once more, he manages to score two service aces in a row, and at his third serve, he is still able to put up a good defense. During this, Tsubakihara gloriously congratulates Himekawa for his success which puts their hopes up to win. After Tsubakihara's loss, Echigo shakes Daichi's hand as they are the two opposing team's captains, and Maruyama, Echigo and Teradomari break into tears. Right after, Ōsado tries to comfort his team by offering them lunch.
