Nasa has started his job teaching, but it's at an all girls high school, which Tsukasa didn't think would make her jealous until other people started pointing out how much he's around cute, young girls all day, and how young he is. One day, Nasa finds a lot of advanced calculations on a board in one of the classrooms, and he realizes, as a space fan himself, that someone is calculating a trajectory to the moon. The person responsible for the advanced math seems to also know something about Tsukasa that she hasn't told Nasa. In other realms, Aya has met a nice guy, Ginga, who everyone else knows is probably a Yakuza guy, but she just doesn't see it.

A young girl flees her war-torn home in the hopes of finding gold in a cold wilderness of what seems like Alaska.

The young lady befriends a three-legged dog that has also been disfigured and abandoned by a treasure hunter, and seems to have a giant wolf spirit watching her and the treasure hunters. Despite nearly starving, an even harsher winter coming, and finding no gold, she decides to partner with some of the Native women to enact revenge on the exploitive men and finally stand up for her village as well.

Team Z is fighting against elimination from Blue Lock in an intense match against Team V. They've been betrayed by one of their own, Kuon, who has decided that, as their top scorer, he will go on no matter what, so he'll save his efforts for when it matters more in later fights. Team V also has a superstar who started playing soccer only a few months ago, Seishiro Nagi, who is sort of bored with everything and takes all his cues from another teammate, Reo Mikage. Isagi uses his spacial awareness technique to see when Reo is going to use Nagi's insane speed, which negates both of them as threats on the field. Team Z fights back from a 0-3 score to tie the game at 3-3 and stun both Team V and Kuon, who thought Team Z had no chance in heck without him. ![]()
