EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 5 marks the transition from Eiichirō's foundational training arc into actual competitive play, following directly from his eye-opening experience against Takuma's powerful serve. This is the first real test of everything the show has been building — his note-taking methodology, his physical conditioning, and his mental fortitude. It sets the trajectory for the rest of the season, establishing the match-by-match structure that will chart Eiichirō's growth as a legitimate competitor.
