The episode begins with Team Fox One, consisting of Shun, Akito, Nozomi, Yu (Phantom Ninja), and Big Bang Infinity (Daneko), facing their dreaded rivals Sleeping Owl in the playoffs of the Xaxxerion Championship. The team initially finds itself on the defensive, struggling to keep up with Sleeping Owl's tactics. Jonathan, their former teammate, is now part of Sleeping Owl and serves as their in-game leader (IGL).

After several lost rounds, the team's morale is at an all-time low. Shun's father, who is also their coach, offers little strategic guidance, leaving the team to figure out their own game plan. Despite the odds, they decide to stick together and focus on teamwork.

As the match progresses, Team Fox One finds its rhythm. They switch from defense to offense and start winning rounds. Shun takes the lead, coordinating the team's movements and making crucial plays. Akito and Nozomi provide valuable support, while Yu and Big Bang Infinity adapt to their roles.

The team's unconventional strategies and unpredictable movements confuse Sleeping Owl. Shun and his teammates manage to turn the tables, ultimately winning the match and advancing to the semifinals. The victory comes as a huge surprise, and even Sleeping Owl's coach admits they underestimated Team Fox One.

After the match, Shun's father suggests that the team should consider going pro, as a new professional league is being established. Akito, Nozomi, and Yu are excited by the idea, but Shun hesitates. He is reminded of his family's financial struggles and the need to focus on his studies.

The episode ends with Shun at home, where his younger sister Mio congratulates him on his victory. His mother, however, is less enthusiastic and reminds him of his responsibilities. Shun is left alone, pondering his future, torn between his love for the game and his obligations to his family.
