Golden age 331: A Skilled Hawk Hides Its Talons
- Japan's bench marvels at Tanegashima's lob stopping in mid-air for a moment. It's 1-1. Bismarck says that Tanegashima is the type to hide his talons, just like him. Tanegashima responds he feels honored that they're similar.
- Since Siegfried and Kirihara are still out of commission, the tiebreak quickly progresses to 4-4. Faced with another Bismarck serve, Tanegashima thinks this next point is a big one. He wants to earn a mini-break by putting up an impenetrable defense.
- As he moves to return the serve, Tanegashima thinks that he has a handle on the ball, but to his surprise, Bismarck's shot bounces high over his head.
- Siegfried cheers from the bench. In doing so, he notices that the paralysis starts to wear off. Tohno notices this too, saying it's only a matter of time until Siegfried is back in the game.
- Irie says that Tanegashima could've returned Bismarck's last serve if he had guessed the type correctly.
- It's Tanegashima's turn to serve against Bismarck and the first serve goes into the net. While Tanegashima will win the set if the tiebreak stays on the serve, Volk says that the situation will be reserved instantly if he loses this one point
- it would decide Japan's WC defeat.
- Bismarck gets ready to receive again and snickers that Tanegashima shouldn't go down with a double fault. But Tanegashima isn't intimidated by the situation and goes for another first serve. Q.P. praises Tanegashima for making a strong play while backed into a corner. Bismarck returns the serve, however Tanegashima is already at the net, ready to void the return. Bismarck dives for the ball and barely picks it up...
- Tanegashima can't reach Bismarck's shot and Germany earns the mini-break for a 6-4 lead.
- Winning this point all but confirms Germany's victory. First, Tanegashima serves into the undefended court to close the gap to one point. Then, Siegfried's and Kirihara's service points pass. And then it's time for Bismarck's next serve. With an 8-7 lead, he serves towards Kirihara's side of the court, meaning Tanegashima can do nothing except watch. It's the end; Japan's World Cup campaign ends prematurely...
- Tanegashima thinks back to the WC in France two years ago. When Byoudouin was all beaten up and even Mifune no longer believed in victory, Tanegashima kept cheering him on with a smile.
- In the present, Byoudouin thanks the other high schoolers for fighting alongside him for the past two years.
- But there's one person who still hasn't given up
- out of nowhere, Kirihara sprints onto the court and blocks Bismarck's serve.
- Kirihara jumps out and returns Bismarck's serve. The spectators wonder if he woke up or reacted unconsciously. Tanegashima thanks Kirihara for giving him another chance. He didn't think he could beat Bismarck before, but it's different now.
- Bismarck challenges Tanegashima to come at him, but as he's returning the ball, he notices that Tanegashima has disappeared. Suddenly, Bismarck's shot is struck back from a position even though nobody's there
- it's the Ultimate Void.
- Ohmagari explains that Tanegashima has worked on Void techniques for the past two years. Just now, he was able to void his own existence.
- Tanegashima and the other high schoolers are ecstatic. With this, the flow of the match has been reversed. Both Bismarck and Tanegashima hold on to their remaining service points. As a result, Japan wins the second set 7-6.
- Whereas the Japanese bench celebrates, Bismarck apologizes to Siegfried. However, Siegfried thanks Bismarck for giving him the chance to pay back Kirihara.
