With Naoki's entry, the club works towards gaining official approval. However, Naoki senses that he's being watched. The culprit is none other than Shingo Komoi, who is interested to join the club.

Misaki is feared as the Backstage Boss of Miyaji Academy. She keeps declining Aichi's invitations to join the Cardfight Club to avoid troubling him, until Kourin can bear it no longer and challenges her to a fight.
