anime episode summaries

More training. Kirihara seems to be going crazy (it looks like he’s changed now and his old evil self is bothering him). Echizen confronts Ann and tells her he found her hair clip by the vending machine. Kamio and several other players overhear them and they confront Ann as well. Echizen challenges Kirihara to a match. Ann tells Kamio and company what really happened that night. Ann met Kirihara by the corridor and they got into an argument. Kirihara insulted Tachibana and as Ann approached to slap him, Kirihara dodged but he slipped and fell down the stairs. That’s when Horio found Kirihara lying on the floor. Apparently, Kirihara protected Ann by not telling on her. Back to Echizen and Kirihara’s match: people conclude that Kirihara has really changed since he didn’t aim for Echizen’s knee even though he had the chance to. Ryuzaki-sensei spots them playing and commends them for practicing during their break time but suddenly, she drops to her knees and clutches at her chest in pain.

Mini-matches at the Junior Camp. Everybody, except for Ryuzaki-sensei’s group, was training. Nobody still knows who pushed Kirihara. When Horio-kun was asked to sketch the face of the man he allegedly saw push Kirihara, he drew a monster which kinda resembles Momoshiro (who listens to Horio-kun anyway?). Everybody looks for clues (as if they know what they’re looking for! duh!). A bling-bling under the vending machine catches Echizen’s eye which leads him to declare that he knows who the culprit is.
