Summary

While Duke attacks from the back of the court, Niou moves back and forth to hide the path of the ball. But, Bertie still manages to block back the shot. He thinks Niou's plan is pointless. If it's a player at Niou's level, Bertie can grasp their data instantly and attack right away.

In response, Niou launches a Meteor Drive into the sky. Inui is shocked that the move from his nightmare has become reality. Meteor Drive targets the weak spot in Germany's Howling. By forcing them to shift their line of sight upwards, Satellitenperspektive stops working. Bertie wonders if this was Niou's aim. He's also impressed by the speed at which the ball drops back down, but being a pro, he manages to smash it back anyway.

Niou didn't expect this, but Duke comes in at the last second to block the shot back. Despite this, both Duke and Niou are sent flying.

Schneider hits a delicate drop shot. Niou calls out to Duke and gets into position. Duke uses a Homerun to launch Niou towards the front of the court. In flight, Niou smacks the ball back across the net, leaving the Germans unable to react.

The match ends in Japan's victory. Yagyuu is impressed by Niou's performance. Amongst the cheers of the crowd, he says that Niou has shocked the world.

With one win a piece, the one who steps on the court to represent Germany in S2 is Tezuka.
