S01E18: How I Win
Kei has been practicing the reverse, which some consider a dishonorable technique. Hinomaru fights head-on, and Kei worries that he'll stain it. Even so, he wants to get one win for the team, and faces an opponent far larger than himself. Knowing that his reverse will be anticipated, Kei unveils a new strategy.
