Golden age 365: An Unlosable Battle

Sengoku launches a Dragon Cannon at Ryoma, but Ryoma manages to block the shot and score. He wins 6-1.
Atobe and Oshitari reflect on their three years at Hyoutei and conclude that joining the school marked the real start of their tennis lives. In the end, Atobe wins 6-3.
In the second D1 match, Kimijima/Tohno and Ochi/Mouri are tied at 5-5. A flashback shows how Tohno approached Kimijima. Tohno knew that Kite rejected Kimijima's invitation to pair up. He also asked Mifune to let him and Kimijima team up.

Golden age 366: The Decision to Play Doubles

In a flashback, Kirihara asked Yukimura and Yanagi to enter the S2 competition together with him. However, Yukimura wasn't sure if he could reach the same level of concentration as against Germany and wanted to play doubles instead. Yanagi invited Yukimura to play doubles together, saying that this way they can try to make use of the data Yanagi had gathered on Yukimura during Yukimura's match with Tezuka. The two of them end up facing Ohmagari and Kintarou.
Another flashback reveals that when Kintarou told Shiraishi about wanting to compete with Ryoma for the S2 position, Shiraishi asked him to play doubles instead. To convince Kintarou, Shiraishi explained that their goal is to defeat Spain and not Seigaku. To complete the pairing, Shiraishi negotiated with Ohmagari. Even though Ohmagari claimed that Kimijima's negotations don't have any effect on him, he appears alongside Kintarou in the end.
The second match of the S1 bracket is also underway. Niou plays without using illusions. When he copied others with Illusion, he would copy not only their play styles and abilities, but also their spirits. By experiencing the efforts and setbacks of all the others, he felt like he was going crazy, so he wanted to start fighting on his own. Ultimately, Duke defeats Niou 6-0, setting up a clash with Tokugawa.

Golden age 367: Desire

The D1 match between Kimijima/Tohno and Ochi/Mouri enters a tiebreak. Ochi tells Mouri not to be fooled by Kimijima's lyrics and to follow his instincts instead. In response, Mouri goes to sleep to enter his zone state.
Resuming the flashback from before, Kimijima said that if he pairs up with Tohno, he won't be able to play in the finals even if they win. That's because Tohno isn't registered to play in the tournament anymore. Tohno responded that if playing strong opponents now will help the team win, he can't idly sit by as Japan's no. 8. Kimijima responded that Tohno really has no idea how to negotiate a deal because there's nothing in it for Kimijima himself. But Tohno was persistent and Kimijima ultimately gave in. The two of them asked Date, Nakagauchi and Hakamada to give up one of their spots for Tohno and Date agreed.
In the end, Ochi and Mouri win the tiebreak. Oishi is surprised that the two of them have beat the higher-ranked pair. Tohno realizes that Ochi's sleeping fighting spirit has awoken, revealing that Ochi used to be the team's no. 4 player.
On the singles courts, the finals are about to start.
