Episode 3: "The Final Illusion"

In the semifinals, the Doubles 2 match features Duke and Niou from Japan up against a formidable pair: Schneider, a pro player, and Bertie, the younger brother of Volk. Niou takes on the challenge by using his "Illusion" technique to mimic Byodoin’s playstyle.

However, the duo faces unexpected hurdles—Bertie has input data on all the top players, and Schneider unleashes a surprising skill that catches Niou and Duke off guard.

Meanwhile, Ryoma’s former team, the U.S. national team, struggles against the mighty Spain. With no other options, the Americans send Ralph to compete in Singles 2. But emerging from the Spanish bench is Ryoga Echizen—Ryoma’s brother—ready to face off in this high-stakes match!
