With Koji back on the right track again, Tsunemori's game became smoother instantly. Slowly but surely, they started pushing their opponent to the edge of the cliff, gaining every advantage their opponent gave. Even without Yuki defending their back, in this set, all the Tsunemori players showed that they are not just a one-man team, but everyone could contribute the same or even better than the glasses boy.
Here, in this set, Kaede took over the back line and commanded the whole team to defend like a veteran. It seemed he was a man on a mission after his horrible performance against Tsukiji High in the last round. Even though his game-reading ability wasn't as good or as quick as Yuki usually did, he made it up by constantly communicating with each other to close any leak that the opponent could potentially target.
