3. Episode 7 Recap
I. Shuusaku Shida, Hakumei’s Arrogant Ace
Episode 7 takes us back to the high school days of Coach Shuusaku Shida when he was nothing less than a prodigy. But eventually, his unrivalled calibre filled him up with arrogance, pride, and a sense of superiority.
He used to look down upon his teammates and often took responsibility for a group performance upon himself. On one such competition when his leg was injured, he restrained from informing his teammates and kept pushing his body.
As a result, he collapsed during his final performance and incurred a grave injury that forced him to step down from the world of rhythmic gymnastics.
II. A Fresh Start
At the hospital, he met a nurse who completely changed his perspective of life. She showed him that life is beautiful and it’s never too late for a fresh start.
Later they ended up getting married, and finally, we get to see Shida’s wife, whom he always speaks of.
Shida then decided to pass on the thrill of rhythmic gymnastics to the next generation and searched for students who are interested in the sport. Sadly, he didn’t get much response and ended up becoming an English teacher in Ao High.
III. Foundation of Ao High’s Rhythmic Gymnastics Club
One fine morning, when Shida was performing some basic backflips in the playground, Shichigahama saw him and got inspired. He asked Shida to teach him this amazing sport, and later Onagawa and Tsukidate joined them.
However, convincing the vice-principal to start this club wasn’t an easy task. The old man rejected the idea without even looking into it properly. With no other option left, Shida performs some complex gymnastics moves to show him the beauty of this sport.
Impressed by those moves, the vice principal agrees, and Shida laid the foundation of Ao High’s rhythmic gymnastics club. Now that Futaba and Misato have come to know about the club’s history, they will be giving their best to live up to their coach’s legacy.
