Kyosuke Kuga returns to the Honan Stride Club to cover for the injured Ayumu. The Honan team face off against Ichijokan, but before they face their opponent, they must first face their own emotions.

Before the EOS final, Honan and Saisei are having joint practice in Saisei's stride facility.

EOS time trial. Saisei vs Tsubakimachi and Honan vs Kakyoin in Sapporo Dome. Will Honan get intimated by their former runner?
