This week’s episode is: Each of Their Decision.
So Akira tells Hikaru that their schools will be playing each other second round if they both make it and Akira is third board to play Hikaru. Kaio’s first board goads Mitani, though surprisingly enough Tsutsui defends him. It is true that (minus Sai) Matani is the strongest player from Haze. So the first round starts. Mitani easily wins. It is more of a struggle for Tsutsui and Hikaru is losing for a while. But in the end they both manage to win their games too, even though the guy Hikaru plays laughs. He laughed too soon. While waiting Mitani looks at the game Kaio’s first board is playing. Even he is impressed and he decides to prove he is good enough to go against him without cheating. Then it is lunch break. Hikaru goes out and overhears the nice girl who stopped the idiot trio from bullying Akira and Kaio’s first board talking about Akira and how he was bullied and how he will quit the Kaio Go club after the tournament. Hearing all of this, Hikaru knows this is all because Akira wants to play Hikaru or rather Sai so badly. Hikaru tells Sai he can play the match with Akira.
