With the departure of third-years Kinjou, Makishima, and Tadokoro, the first-year members - Onoda Sakamichi, Imaizumi Shunsuke, and Naruko Shoukichi - join forces with new captain Teshima Junta and vice-captain Aoyagi Hajime to form a "new team" and gear up for their second consecutive championship. However, their competitors, including Hakone Academy with fresh faces in their roster, are also training to dethrone Sohoku High.
