In this chapter, we learn that the alternates have been instructed to play a no-name team, which means that they've been given twenty minutes to prepare for the upcoming encounter with the B team. The alternates are psyched to be playing, but they're also a little worried about how they'll be able to keep up with the "beast of himself," ryujin, who's been playing with such a high energy that he's able to "suck the air" from the room and "crush the momentum" of the opposing team. Biff is all, "we can't allow ryoin to get their hand on the ball" . He's convinced that they have to win this battle now.
