Episode 2 Plot: Chinu explains that she kissed Minato because of a deal they'd made before Minato won the Momotaro Cup; she had agreed to kiss him if he could become Japan's best middle-school water polo player. However, Chinu reveals that there was a second half of the deal: she'd promised to start dating Minato if he became Japan's best high-school player, though he agreed to pay her 220,000 yen if he was unable to fulfill this goal. Hearing this, Minato decides to get back into the sport and work toward being the best. Jou uses the story of Minato's previous successes in water polo to attract new members to the club, but all but two boys in the crowd of interested students disperse after learning Minato has lost his memories of how to play. The two remaining boys, Yutaka Inomata and Yoshiharu Ushimado, agree to join the water polo team. Additionally, a student named Takekazu Ejiri expresses interest in joining, though he asks to be assigned the position of keeper, which Jou says he has already assigned to himself. To decide who gets the position, Takekazu and Jou compete in a penalty shootout with Minato as the shooter. While Minato seems initially unskilled, he demonstrates slight potential during the contest but pulls a muscle before the shootout can conclude. After witnessing Jou's remarkable skill, Takekazu becomes discouraged and prepares to resign from the team, though Jou ultimately convinces him to stay. As the episode concludes, Jou announces plans to recruit ace swimmer Shugo Amihama right before the team subsequently discovers that Amihama has already signed up for the track team.
