Synopsis

As Arata plays, his style subtly echoes that of Eternal Master Wataya Hajime, granting him command of the match's tempo. Harada is struck by a memory: a single bout against Hajime in his youth, and the sharp contrast to his current state. The clarity of his game sense has dulled with time. Yet, he persists with the offensive approach championed by the Shiranami Society, turning the tide with a move that silences the hall.
