KEY POINTS

  • Ren Takaya strikes back after Yoigushi Tatsuya’s exceptional attacks
  • Takaya wants to target Noukin High’s captain
  • "Burning Kabaddi" Episode 6 is airing Thursday

Noukin High School's match against Souwa High School continues in "Burning Kabaddi" ("Shakunetsu Kabaddi") Episode 6. The episode is titled "Chase X Counterattack."

Barely a minute into the match and both the teams are showing the intent to win. The official website released spoiler stills and synopsis for "Burning Kabaddi" Episode 6. After obtaining three points for Noukin High, it appears Yoigoshi Tatsuya has set the bar high for the other players.

However, Ren Takaya of Souwa High is likely going to give stiff competition to Noukin's star raider. Later, Takaya will shift his focus from Tatsuya to the captain of Noukin High, Masato.

In the previous episode, Masato asks Tatsuya about the kind of players who make it to the Nationals. Tatsuya reveals only a handful of exceptional geniuses make it that far.

Tatsuya remembers his soccer days and how he made it to the final four. He asks Masato when he started playing kabaddi.

Masato reveals that an association invited him to join the team in middle school. He also shares that he made a few overseas tours in Asia afterward.

However, Masato adds that it's not like soccer. Masato tells Tatsuya that kabaddi is in its nascent stage in Japan but he will win his way to the top. He wants Tatsuya to join him and become number one in Japan.

"Yoigoshi Tatsuya was a star soccer player known as 'Yoigoshi the Unstoppable', but when he entered high school, he severed all involvement with sports. Now, he has been invited to a certain sports team. In these matches, victory is achieved through teammates working together to catch and defeat the opponents invading their territory... You could call it a sort of running combat sport. And the name of this game is…Kabaddi," the series synopsis on Crunchyroll reads.
