Recap of Embers Chapter 8
The previous chapter, titled The Road to Greatness, Part 1, depicted Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani as they integrated into the A-Team. While Haitani aimed to make a significant impact, he found the A-Team remarkably welcoming to the two newcomers.
As training commenced, Yuga faced challenges with the physicality of the sport, while Haitani showcased his lightning-fast reflexes. Yet, he felt dissatisfaction with his overall performance, particularly in areas outside of defense. Recognizing his potential, Hikage volunteered to train him in football tactics, which Haitani hesitantly accepted, realizing it could pave his way to greatness.
Anticipations for Chapter 9
Looking ahead, Chapter 9 is poised to showcase the Kosei High A-Team’s initial preliminary match against Iba Seiryu. With a strong lineup, victory seems likely; however, the focus will be primarily on the debuts of Yuga Takami and Noboru Haitani.
This chapter is also expected to reveal the effectiveness of Noboru’s special training with Hikage. Despite skepticism from Yukizuki and others regarding Haitani’s approach, there remains a chance he could surprise everyone with his performance.
