During training, the regulars end up running laps. When Inui announces that the last person to cross the finish line has to drink his new drink. Determined not lose, they all end up finishing at the same time. Later, Ryoma and Fuji face off in a practice match, where the two decide to go all out. During the match, Fuji reveals his second Triple Counter, the Higuma Otoshi (Bear Drop), which is able to counter Ryoma's smashes, but the latter is determined to find a way to defeat it.
Inui introduce una mejora penal-té como un castigo para los corredores que corren menos del 55-Segundas vueltas. Inmediatamente después, Echizen y Fuji tienen un partido de práctica. Fuji introduce uno de sus triples contadores de llamadas Higuma Otoshi (oso del descenso) que anula la rotura violenta de Echizen. Echizen desafía repetidamente Fuji en un intento de superar su técnica anti-rotura violenta.
