Summary[]
Having cleared his head, Shiraishi steps back onto the court and the 2nd set begins. Once again, Tristan serves first. Shiraishi returns the ball cross-court and Tristan also attempts to go back cross-court, but Kimijima intercepts the ball by catching it with the frame of his racket.
Timothée smashes the high ball, but Kimijima gets it back once again. The French launch one attack after the other, but Kimijima holds his ground and blocks them back again and again. After a few more blocks, Tristan smashes Kimijima's racket out of his hand. The racket flies up in the air and the French aim to drop the ball next to the defenseless Kimijima.
Kimijima takes his jersey from his waist, swings it up like a whip and grabs his racket once again. He aims a volley into the open space behind Tristan. Timothée catches up to Kimijima's attack and throws up a lob. However, instead of going for a smash, Kimijima thinks back to his match against Marui and Kite and lets it pass.
From the back, Shiraishi launches a Hadokyuu. Even though the ball was hidden by Kimijima's castle's walls, Tristan manages to block the shot. However, he gets launched backwards and it's another high ball for Japan.
Kimijima casually winds up for the smash. Tristan grabs his racket again and the French tighten their defenses. However, Kimijima once again ducks under the ball and Shiraishi hits a smash winner. Ecstasy!
