There Are Wounds in the Past

Oga becomes tired of practicing and walks out of the gym, itching for a fight. He finds Miki training in a nearby Dojo, and challenges him to a fight. Oga takes all of Miki's attacks head on, and is clearly damaged from the strength of the attacks. Miki claims his technique is only at 70% power, but will be ready by the time the school festival arrives. Miki has a flashback to a time when Oga betrayed him in the past, where Miki followed Oga to fight alongside him, but Oga turned on him, knocking him down and kicking him on the floor. Oga finds Tojo and challenges him to a fight, looking for some insight into what his own special technique should be. Oga appears to be quite beaten up after fighting Tojo, but not deterred from it at all. He claims that it is all a matter of fighting spirit, and that he is ready to win at volleyball and any fights he gets into.
