"The Grand King" (Japanese:
Overview[]
Returning to school from a relaxing holiday, the members of Aoba Johsai have gained a little weight. However, one player in particular has put on more than anyone else.
Plot[]
Kindaichi happily welcomes everyone back to school as they return from celebrating New Year's. Iwaizumi approaches the group and bluntly points out how several of them have gained a few pounds. He scolds them for not having taken his warning not to get too comfortable seriously during their time off when Oikawa tries to assure the ace that he shouldn't be too hard on them. However, when everyone looks at their captain, he is shown to have gained the most weight out of all of them.
The team questions if the person before them really is Oikawa, comparing his appearance to that of a mochi. When a girl enters the gym asking for Oikawa, she doesn't take Oikawa seriously when he says that he is Oikawa and others begin to mistake him for the mascot Vabo-chan. Realizing that his appearance is worse than he thought, Oikawa begins plans to start working out right away to lose the extra weight and Iwaizumi declares that he will owe the team ramen if he fails.
After several tries to keep up with the team workouts, Oikawa collapses and starts to admit he might not be able to accomplish his task. Iwaizumi tries numerous times to get the setter back on his feet but Oikawa refuses to do so. Finally fed up, Iwaizumi reminds Oikawa of his motto: "If you're going to hit it, hit it until it breaks", and dons a pair of boxing gloves. He declares that he will break Oikawa's terrible attitude until he is able to lose weight.
Under Iwaizumi's guidance, Oikawa has returned to his slim and sleek self in almost no time at all. Seeing the results, Kunimi suggests to Iwaizumi that he should become a physical trainer.
