History[]
2 Years Prior to the Storyline[]
A representative of the French U-17 at the time named Duke Watanabe is taking a walk with Chloe and they seem to be talking about the upcoming WC match against Japan. Chloe then runs off to get some food from a nearby store. Hōō Byōdōin is sitting on a bench near that same store, reading a magazine. The headline says "Roi du destruction" ("King of destruction") and a picture of Duke is shown underneath.
When Chloe finishes buying the food, a part of the store roof suddenly collapses, threatening to crush her. Duke yells a warning at her and runs over, but he's too late. When he arrives at the scene and throws the roof parts out of the way it is revealed that Byodoin protected Chloe from the rubble. Duke is relieved that his sister isn't injured, but before he can talk to her savior, Byodoin walks away.
Chloe is audience to the France vs Japan match. As Byodoin steps onto the court she recognizes him, as does Duke.
Byodoin loses the match and is about to leave the venue when Duke approaches him. Duke announces he will join Japan U-17 and fight alongside him for protecting his sister.
