Chapter 352

This Summary is based on machine translated content. Thanks @Kaoz for proofreading and avoiding me sending nonsense.

Golden age 352: Those who fight may lose. Those who don't fight have already lost.

As Byoudouin falls, he asks himself if this is really the end. Is he really about to lose?
No! Shocked, Volk notices Byoudouin actually returned the ball. As Volk tries to return the ball in any way he can, he sees Byoudouin already at the net. This man that keeps dying is coming back again and again. This is exactly the tennis Volk was looking for!
Even if his life is over, his soul won't perish. Byoudouin scores!
Byoudouin asks Volk what does he want to do in this fight, because from now on they'll both risk their lives.
People in the stands can't believe there is a man more than evenly matched to the best pro in the world.
Byoudouin acknowledges that the philosopher of victory... is a real piece of work, a monster!
Volk had sensed a potential resonance between his waffles and the tezuka zone. And now he finally found it. The "Infinite Tornado".
Byoudouin tries to strategise. The tornado doubles the power of the balls, and Volk is immune to them. Aiming at the last moment, he tries to break through them... but his shot is still caught...
No, this time it's actually Tezuka Phantom, the ball flies out! Byoudouin is at the ropes. A little mistake and it's all over. Tezuka declares that Volk is actually showing an evolution of the Ultimate Zone.
There might be a difference in level, but it's still a match to the death, whether it's Germany's or Japan's.
Cute scene of all of Japan's selected Hsers (except for Hakamada, Nakagauchi, Date and Kaji, I love you guys) fighting against a typhoon.
Byoudouin defeated the Infinite Tornado!
Volk admits his opponent is brilliant. He had no idea he was being inspired by the great national team he had built. However, he goes ahead and tries to ignore the problem and focus on a solution, for the glory of the German National Team. He manages to return the ball, that hits the net and slowly starts to climb it.
Oishi begs for the ball not to cross the net... but it does. As tears drop from his eyes, the Pirate gives Byoudouin a final hand and moves him to return the ball, that falls on Volk's side.
Flashback to the aftermath of Volk's match against the number 1 player in the world, Novak Brenner, in Germany. He is talking to some of his teammates. He's immediately congratulated, though he admits he never thought he'd win the match.
The Pro Doubles says that of course they'll join the U-17 WC team, as promised.
Next comes Bismarck. He teases Volk, asking him what a superstar is doing there. He says that next year he'll also turn into a professional, and jokingly asks for Volk to go easy on him.
Looking at the enviroment, Volk asks Bismarck if is unable of letting his racer dream go. Bismarck doesn't reply. Volk then requests, before Bismarck goes pro, if he can give him everything he has learnt in his tennis career for Germany.
Finally, Q.P. is invited too. Demolished on the floor and lacking confidence, he apologises and rejects. However, Lendoll interrupts "bluebird" and encourages him.
Back in the present, Volk wonders, "Even like this, am I going to lose?"... The ball stops moving.
Game and match, won by... Byoudouin Houou, Japan!
Byoudouin, almost unconscious asks Volk if it's over. The German tells Byoudouin he won, if he can hear him.
Lendoll congratulates the performance despite the defeat. "In tennis there are always winners and loser, and this time we'll celebrate their victory, just as you have always been celebrated." (~~This time, they are the winners. There's always winners and losers in tennis, that's why it's so interesting.~~) Was the wrong published line.
Some time later, Tokugawa requests Byoudouin for help becoming stronger, hesitantly. He observes Byoudouin: "He was involved in Medanore's injury. What was it?"
"All right Tokugawa, the Divine Path of the Asura... the end of the line. Have you ever seen that?"
Japan has now advanced to the finals against Spain. 2 days to go until the final match.
