Synopsis

The Ojo Knights found themselves in a precarious situation. Sakuraba inquired about entering the game, but his request was denied; he was deemed essential for the second half. Hiruma opted to deploy the Gunmen’s Shotgun Formation against Ojo. Following a successful play by Monta against a towering Ojo defender, Sakuraba, with Shin’s assistance, finally gained permission from his coach to join the defense. He began intercepting passes and blocking Monta's catches.
