According to the series’ official synopsis, the episode likely opens with a recap of events where Sakura earns his title as Grade Captain—a pivotal moment from the season one finale where he selects Nirei and Sou as his vice captains.
Subsequently, the focus shifts to Anzai, whose recent behavior raises red flags among the first-year students. Pressured to uncover the issue, Sakura learns that Anzai’s childhood friend, Nagato, has been coerced into joining the gang KEEL.
