Mamori furiously chastises Hiruma and tries to take Sena away with her to find a different club. But Sena has a moment of clarity, slips his hand out from Mamori's grip, and states that he wants to stay with the Devil Bats, much to Kurita's relief and her confused dismay. Noticing how much Mamori frets over Sena's safety, Hiruma slyly convinces her to take on some of the managerial work, to which she happily agrees.
Meanwhile, at Oujou High School, White Knights coach Shouji "Shogun" Gunpei chews out Shin and Sakuraba for failing to tape the whole Cupids game. Shin accepts full responsibility, along with Shogun's penalty of not starting for their upcoming game against the Devil Bats. In the workout room, Shin admonishes himself for his mistake while exercising tirelessly.
