The final set starts.
Romeo refuses to take a break because Atobe is already waiting for him.
Atobe smiles at Romeo, saying he noticed he’s getting a lot of endorphins. Not only that, but dopamine, adrenaline, and a huge etc because he has trained his body to perform at its maximum potential whenever he feels challenged.
The Spanish rep wonders when did Atobe notice that and what else does he know. Keigo then reveals he had him investigated from the very beginning: Romeo is a top-class student that has national recognition with his work on several fields; and he’s the acting head of his family in social environments, which has allowed the Fernandez household’s influence to grow exponentially in recent years.
Romeo congratulates him on his research and serves. A high paced set ensues, that overwhelms even the highschoolers watching. Both players manage to consistently keep their serves, and the score is eventually levelled at 5-5.
Ryoga points out that, as it has turned into a war of attrition, Romeo has the clear advantage thanks to his infinite reset. On the other hand, Mares indicates that Romeo hasn’t reset his stamina for a long while. Neither player has rested at all, serving immediately every time they switched courts.
Medanore explains that using the reset now would only prolong the match and with it, Atobe’s super-evolution. Romeo's rest can only be used at the right time.
Pasta la vista.
Just as Romeo says he won’t give up, the ever-evolving Atobe humbles him seeing his future moves and attack patterns and breaks his serve.

The Japanese reps roar as Romeo’s serve has finally been broken and now they only need Atobe to keep his serve to win the first match in the finals.
The crowd is shocked to find out Japan had kept a player this strong hidden. The German reps are party poopers and say the hardest part is about to begin, to the point QP points out that this sort of situation takes 5 times more mental toll and can end with the player self-destructing; but Tezuka counters saying Atobe has been in this place several times already. He’s the kind of player that thrives overcoming mental pressure.
Atobe does an ace straight through the centre. Tezuka sneakily celebrates closing his fist (lol).
A second ace follows, now to the corner.
Romeo predicts the next serve will go to the corner and as he thinks he’s got it… his racket flies away. Twist Serve!
Everyone celebrates Atobe reaching match point, even Mifune. Surprised by Keigo’s Mental, Mouri thinks Atobe had been playing around when he played against him.
A shocked Romeo stares at the ground. Is this the last serve?
ROMIFER FLASHBACK.
“A desperate situation?”
“Yes, a message from our coach. A final mission before the finals, he wants you to crawl on your own from a desperate situation. But I’m on my way… ...he’ll chew me up…”
“A tight spot. This will be fun, it’s my… speciality”
“Uh, can you do it?”
“I’ve got an idea. If I fail… I’ll miss the finals… Bye.”
“What? Hey, Romifer!?”
Back in the present, Romeo smiles and thanks Atobe, as he’ll now be finally able to evolve.
