| - Momoshiro's wrists have been broken by Oni's Jack Knife. Believing that the match is over, Oni is about to walk off the court, but Momoshiro picks up his racket with his mouth, lets it fall into his arms and calls him back. Oni responds that Momoshiro is an idiot, but continues the match. As the match goes on, Momoshiro is hit by Oni's Black Jack Knife over and over, but stands up again every time. Sanada and Yanagi comment how unfortunate it is for Momoshiro, who specializes in the Jack Knife, to have to face a master of that move, however Yukimura replies that this must have been specifically set up by the coaches. According to Atobe, it is to silence the middle schoolers. Determined to score just a single point, Momoshiro grips his racket normally on the final point and hits another Jack Knife, but it is returned. Oni wins 6-0. Some high schoolers say that the middle schoolers are pushovers after all, but Oni notices that Momoshiro's last Jack Knife broke his strings and encourages him to crawl up and become stronger. After some practice, the mental coach, SaitÅ Itaru, greets the middle schoolers. He praises them for their strength and says they could become even stronger if their mental states improved. He then orders them to form pairs. The middle schoolers assume they will play doubles matches, but after everyone has found a partner, Saitou explains that they will face their partners in singles matches - the losers are forced to leave the camp.
