Musashino’s team was confused by Ashito’s free-flowing movement, while Esperion was gaining momentum with the aim of winning the game. Striker Kaneda, too, could not hide his annoyance at Ashito’s success and growth…. Esperion is the challenger to Musashino, who reigns at the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan League. What will happen in the deadly battle between the two?”

Fans flooded social media sites to pour in their reviews of the season finale. One user on Twitter wrote, “Amazing episode to finish off the season. Makes me want to reread the manga again.
