Episode Title:
Victory is Pink, Pink, Pink!.
Episode Description:
As is the case with the United States, there is the misguided perception of sports prowess equalling ethical competence worth a college scholarship or even a professional career as an athlete when demonstrated at certain highly publicized venues -- id est, the upcoming summer soccer tournament preliminaries; while a practice game is an excellent vehicle for the soccer team to polish its techniques much to Meirin's noisy delight, it soon becomes apparent that a crucial deviant diagnostic demands immediate attention when Asuka lashes out at Daisuke for an honest mistake prior to storming away. Upon having explained the cause of Asuka's frustration and recalling Takashi's near-fatal motor coach sabotage, Meirin takes it upon herself to prosecute a feng-shui divination that evening -- its pink underwear counsel translating very poorly to real life starting from her interjection into Asuka's solo practice. Much to the relief of all involved parties, Takashi's harsh objurgation ultimately drives home a dose of much-needed humility; Daisuke and Keima now rescued from their misadventure, it is a simple matter to pervert the bullies' arrogance to their disadvantage and demonstrate that Meirin's earlier pink underwear counsel has contributed to the team's cohesiveness.
