In Episode 9, Misato learned to trust his teammates. It not only sharpened his moves but also improved his relationship with his teammates.
It seems Shida has prevented Misata from making the same mistakes that he did in his peak days. Can Misato live up to the faith that his idol has put in him? We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 10 Speculation
Misato and Futaba’s combined set was just a small part of the performance. In Episode 10, Ao High boys will be working on the other moves.
The Northeast Japan Sports Tournament is knocking at the door, and they just have few weeks left to perfect everything. Instead of practicing one part at a time, they will try to pull off the entire performance in one go.
Moreover, we have seen much character development from Watari and Tsukidate yet. It’s something I am looking forward to seeing in future episodes.

3. Episode 9 Recap
I. The Perfect Ace Struggles
In Episode 9, Misato struggles with the rechoreographed moves, especially in a part where he and Futaba have to perform a combined set together.
Although the stunt feels pretty doable for a veteran like Misato, he struggles with the timing. After every failure, he gets back on his feet with an expressionless face and attempts again.
It seems he cannot trust his teammates completely; he fears that he will crash with Futaba. After multiple failed attempts, Watari finally asks him directly if he trusts his team.
II. Misato Goes Missing
Watari’s words shake Misato, and he suddenly disappears without informing anyone. The fact that Misato didn’t even return to the dorm worries Coach Shida, so he takes Futaba with him to pay a visit to Misato.
They meet Misato’s aunt on the doorstep. She explains how Misato has always been unable to trust anyone and takes it upon himself to perfect everything. Maybe this is the result of taking too much responsibility from a young age.
She also reveals that Misato has been a huge fan of Shuusaku Shida since his childhood. He is the only person who inspired him to step into the world of rhythmic gymnastics.
Coming to Misato’s fear in combined set, he injured himself and his teammate while performing the stunt in his early days of rhythmic gymnastics.
III. A Way to Trust the Team
Just when they were about to leave, Misato comes back home. Deep down, he is happy to see his team checking on him. Shida departs, leaving Misato and Futaba alone for a talk.
Futaba and Misato have completely different personalities. So, it’s best for them to learn from each other. Moreover, the future of Ao High’s rhythmic gymnastics club resides upon their shoulder, making it essential for them to form a strong bond.
Futaba explains Misato the essence of trusting his teammates. He advises him to drop this cold attitude and act cute instead. It’s a way of putting faith in his teammates.
IV. Combined Set Achieved
The next day, Misato continues with his practice session. Surprisingly, he shows a lot more emotions than he used to. He was on the verge of perfecting the complicated stunt when Shida’s inspiring words give him a final push.
Shida asks him not to make the same mistake that he made in his peak days. He believes that his incapability of trusting his teammates cost him his career.
He even admits that Misato has already surpassed him, so he wants Misato to live the dream he had to abandon. After this, Misato attempts the stunt again, and pulls it off perfectly this time.
