Golden age 337: Dual Activation
- Irie explains Germany's Howling. He calls it Existence Boundary and says Bismarck and Siegfried could achieve it because they synchronized.
- Kirihara is struggling to keep up in the 1v2 battle. His inner devil tells Kirihara to release the hatred that sleeps within him, that Kirihara can win if he releases his inner devil. It'll come with a risk, but since he can win that way, why hesitate? Before Kirihara can respond, his inner angel stops him. She says that while Kirihara can win by releasing his inner devil, his body and mind will suffer tremendously. If he wants to keep playing tennis, he mustn't release it.
- Kirihara tells both of them to shut up. He's had his answer ever since losing to Rikkai's three monsters. He orders both angel and devil to obey his orders, making both of them play doubles together.
- Meanwhile, Tanegashima is struggling to keep up in his own battle vs the German pair. His Unborn Void no longer seems to have any effect. Just when he seems to be at the end of his wits, Kirihara breaks through the Existence Boundary to back Tanegashima up, both angel and devil visible and with his eyes glowing blue.
- Kirihara's new form allows him to keep his super focus forever and further increases his speed. Rikkai theorizes that Kirihara's focus burst was the result his inner angel and devil competing against each other.
- Germany had evened the score, but Japan has pulled ahead again for a 6-5 lead and now holds the advantage in Siegfried's service game. Bismarck tells Siegfried not to think about winning too much since he's already seen through Japan's movements. Germany resolves to turn the tides again.
- Kirihara is running out of energy. At the same time, he can no longer break through Bismarck's defense and the rally drags on. Sanada tries to push Kirihara, but it's useless. Kirihara is about to collapse when Tanegashima breaks formation to catch him. Germany recognizes that this is their chance to go on the offensive. Tanegashima says to Kirihara that he stopped him from falling once, but it's up to Kirihara from here on out. Tanegashima dives to return Bismarck's smash.
- As long as Tanegashima gets his racket on the ball, he can return to a location his opponent can't reach. But, while Tanegashima's return goes past Bismarck, Siegfried is there to cover, insisting that Germany will win in the end. After diving, Tanegashima is in no position to return the ball, but he has one more trump card up his sleeve, the Reciprocal Void.
- Kirihara had entered the void instead of Tanegashima and converted the opportunity. While Siegfried and Bismarck are shocked, Japan wins the match.
- Oni explains that Germany probably couldn't see Kirihara. Tanegashima used Ultimate Void the entire time and only now finally showed himself. At the same time, Kirihara showed his killing intent the entire time and only lost it in the end. Their victory is the result of their splendid combination and not a fluke. But if they hadn't gotten the timing right here, they might not have succeeded.
- The Japanese bench praises Kirihara. Yanagi says Kirihara has grown. He asks Yukimura if they'll make Kirihara into Rikkai's next captain. But Yukimura says that Kirihara will only ever fight for himself, so leaving the club in his hands would only slow down his growth, just like with Sanada. Ryoma says Kirihara still has a ways to go.
- Byoudouin asks if the last move was the Reciprocal Void. He's impressed by Tanegashima completing four Void techniques during this match and concludes that Tanegashima hasn't given up on the No. 1 spot. Tanegashima asks Byoudouin if he's still frustrated as hell about dying two years ago. If so, Byoudouin should win the next match, even if the opponent is the strongest in the world.
