Dark Clouds Rolls In! World Congress Kicks Off! !. Matsukaze Tenma is excited for practice and as he arrives along with Tsurugi Kyousuke and Shindou Takuto for practice, they seem to learn a lot more about the other players. Like how Matatagi Hayato has siblings, to whom Tenma says that their brother is fast. Shindou is still angry about the new players, to the extent that he talks with Kuroiwa Ryuusei, saying the plan for the match against Fire Dragon will be just him defending, Tsurugi shooting, and Tenma passing the ball. Ibuki Munemasa overhears this and gets angry. Ibuki then keeps training hard, even though he still doesn't succeed in catching Shindou's and Tsurugi's shoots. Near night, Hayato and Tenma have another conversation but it seems that it wasn't entirely enough to encourage Hayato. On the day of the match, more shocking revelations happen as Manabe Jinichirou accuses Hayato of stealing his wallet, but Minaho Kazuto counter-claims Manabe of not having enough evidence, saying his accusation was full of holes. Manabe then asks Minaho on which side he was, but before Minaho could answer, they get interrupted by Shindou. Manabe then reveals to the Raimon trio that all of the eight players are getting paid to play, which frustrates Shindou even more. During the match, Lee Chyun-Yun shoots, and Shindou blocks it, even though Ibuki was anticipating the shoot, making the two have a heated glare at each other. Will the match work out or will they lose the first match already?
