After the match, Aka says that he's glad that he was able to use his left arm to return the ball. He thinks that this will help him in the future because he'll be able to hit forehands with both hands instead of just using his left hand for backhands. Aka also thinks that the opponent will look pitiful if he loses because he can't hit with both his hands. He wonders who will end up looking pathetic when he faces the opponent with only one hand. He's sure that rumi is the best player in the world when it comes to fighting with her own power, and he thinks that Aka can use this to his advantage. Akai thinks that he should think about a way to beat this opponent with his own power instead of relying on his opponent's power. He says that the drop volley looked like a hard hit, and that he used this trick right there. He finally realizes that he can use his base ball to help him out. He doesn't realize that this is just a game, and it's not like he has to play against people with different styles all the time. In fact, he can learn almost all of the techniques he needs to master in a real-life match. He goes on to say that if Aka were to play in the 100 man kumite, he'd master almost all the important techniques. He also says that if he were to fight in the real world, he wouldn't have to wait for his opponent to catch up to him, because he would have the advantage of being able to do so in a short amount of time
