Hikaru discovers an arrogant player, said to be the best amateur in Japan. The amateur challenges Hikaru, even knowing he is a professional, because he thinks Hikaru is weak due to the overplays made against Toya in the past. Hikaru is told that there is another memorial of Shusaku in Tokyo, which gives him the motivation to win his match against the amateur with great speed. Hikaru fails to find Sai even after returning to Tokyo.
