In this chapter, Tommo and the rest of the team talk about the upcoming match against the Bolingbrokes. Tommo says that the team is going to win, and that he hopes the crowd will come out to cheer them on. He also says that if the crowd turns out to be hostile, then the team will have to go back to Japan and try to win back the crowd. He says that he doesn't have a grudge against Fuwa, but that he likes "fate and grudges" . He tells Tommo that if they lose today, he'll demand that the coach be fired, but if they win, he says, they'll be fighting for the future.
