Episode 8 begins with Team Fox One participating in an intense competition, which unfortunately ends in defeat for them. Seshiru, a character visibly frustrated by the team's repeated losses, observes their performance.
To overcome their streak of bad luck, the team meets later in the evening to develop a strategy for improving their game. Akito tries to boost the team's morale through positive thinking, but they collectively realize that optimism alone is not enough to improve their situation.
Meanwhile, Shun meets Nozomi at a store. Their conversation reveals how much Shun values his new teammates Daneko and Yu. Nozomi, who seems confused about Shun's romantic interests, accidentally confesses her feelings for him while talking to Explosion, another character. This leads to an awkward situation, and Yu, feeling jealous, walks away from the conversation.
At home, Mio, Shun's sister, notices a different scent on Shun's shirt and learns that Nozomi washed it because she had spilled curry on it. Mio then questions Shun about his ambitions of becoming a professional player, and Shun reveals that his primary motivation is to pay off hospital bills. Mio reacts negatively to this revelation and wholeheartedly wishes for him to lose in the games.
At the café where the team practices, Seshiru arrives and criticizes their playstyle. Shun sees this as an opportunity for constructive feedback. Seshiru points out several flaws in their gameplay, emphasizing the need for better communication and unpredictability in their strategies. She also shares her disappointment that her favorite player, Yurukii, is retiring to start a family, revealing a personal connection to the team's past.
Team Fox One takes Seshiru's criticism to heart and implements her advice in their next tournament match, leading to a much-needed victory. After this success, Seshiru takes on the role of coach for the team, helping them regularly work on their weaknesses.
