I think Yuto has to win here.
To even have a chance at beating Onoda this time, Hakogaku has to be stronger than it's ever been. If he loses here, Hakogaku losing another interhigh is just a given.
Crazy. Purely a coincidence, but I recently started reading Hell Teacher Nube. And just yesterday I read a chapter about the Kesaran Pasaran, a creature I had never heard of before.
