EPISODE CONTEXT

Positioned at episode 9 of 13, this installment marks a clear narrative pivot — the Raitai Tournament's conclusion in the preceding episodes gives way to a more character-driven stretch that introduces personal rivalries and emotional stakes outside the bracket. It functions as a bridge episode, establishing the conflicts and interpersonal dynamics that will fuel the season's final act. The groundwork laid here around Mohammad Alai Jr. and Kozue is essential setup for the confrontations that close out the saga.
