Plot
The match of Gassan Kunimitsu and Raimon continue. Matsukaze Tenma uses Majin Pegasus to try to score a goal, to which the opponents Kyoshin Gigantes wasn't able to stop.

Then, after realizing this, Minamisawa tries to get the ball and shoot but fails. Later because of this Minamisawa was pressured on what to do. Then his teammates told that he should do his best and the coach of the opposing team understand the situation. In the end, Gassan Kunimitsu played their "soccer". Kariya Masaki gets the ball and passes it to Tsurugi Kyousuke and he calls his keshin, Kensei Lancelot and uses his keshin hissatsu Lost Angel and scores the third goal for Raimon. The score result was Raimon's win 3-2.

After the match of Gassan Kunitmitsu, Endou sees Kira Hitomiko near Raimon's old soccer club. Hitomiko thanks Endou for helping Kariya Masaki. In Hitomiko's flashback, Kariya's past was revealed. Kariya was an orphan left at the Sun Garden, at the age of 11, where Hitomiko holds the orphanage. Hitomiko sees Kariya's determination for soccer.

The stories then goes to Matsukaze Tenma, Nishizono Shinsuke and Sorano Aoi. Kariya Masaki also comes too with the three of them and eat at Tenma's house. Kariya talks that both Tenma and Shinsuke should make a combination hissatsu. Afterwards, Tenma asks what will they call it, Kariya gives his suggestion(which he called Dokkan Jump) and the three of them laugh at Kariya's suggestion to which Kariya gets embarrassed. Kino Aki watches this and smiles.

Endou Mamoru goes to Fifth Sector's headquarter and talks with Ishido Shuuji. Then, he calls him "Gouenji" and asks what happened and why did he control soccer. Ishido revealed then to be Gouenji Shuuya, states that his name is not Gouenji anymore: it is Ishido Shuuji, and his earrings sparkled. Endou gets angry and confused why Gouenji became like this. Gouenji states his belief of soccer, and soccer is now controlled by him. Afterwards, he turned and left, leaving Endou speechless.

Endou then returns to his house and looks at the FFI photo of Inazuma Japan when they won the tournament and laments that Gouenji has changed and looks closer at the photo, at the part where him and Gouenji were side-by-side in the photo. Natsumi encourages Endou not to be sad and prepares some food for Endou, who, feeling encouraged, eats the food Natsumi prepared, again munching the food with his face turning blue.

The next day, a new person joins the Raimon team, he happily wants to join the Raimon team and introduces himself as "Hikaru". Otonashi Haruna asks what his surname is. Hikaru was having second thoughts of telling his surname, which he stated in the end under the team and the teachers' eyes: "Kageyama Hikaru". After stating that, the Raimon team smiles though, Otonashi Haruna drops her board and the Raimon team is surprised of the shocked faces of Endou, Otonashi and especially Kidou. They knew they were thinking the same thing: Kageyama! The same surname!
