Meanwhile, Bokuto was seen throwing tantrums as he wanted to play in the bigger arena. According to Bokuto’s team members, he loses motivation pretty quickly. However, the white-haired Bokuto from Fukurodani Academy is known for his energy on the court.

The next match was between Eiwa High School and Fukurodani Academy. Eiwa was leading in the beginning, but Fukurodani came back strongly after Bokuto was inspired by his teammates. He was unstoppable and took down Eiwa. After beating them, Fukurodani proceeded to the next round.
