With the central romance finally on solid ground, the narrative pivots fully to the badminton court, just as fans had hoped.

This new antagonist's condescending belief—that if he couldn't achieve a certain goal, then Taiki certainly can't—sets the stage for a classic sports showdown. Free from the turmoil of the love triangle and secure in his relationship, Taiki is now positioned to channel his focus and prove his detractor wrong in a future match.
