Tsukasa Akeuraji has vowed to make Inori a gold medalist, and with that promise echoing in her heart, she takes the ice. While her program may appear straightforward at first glance, there is more to it than meets the eye. Tsukasa has crafted a strategy that plays to Inori's strengths, with a trump card for the final stretch. After the performance, Inori and Tsukasa sit together in the kiss and cry, waiting to see if their efforts have paid off.

The second group, including Inori, take their turn at the championship. With only three skaters to go, Yuna Yagi steps onto the ice. Despite promising her coach she will stick to their planned program, she finds herself hesitating mid-performance.

A training session with jump specialist Kakeru Uobuchi brings remarkable results, and Tsukasa is so impressed he decides to invest in his own harness equipment. He brings it to the ice rink intending to help Inori master jumps.

Inori and Tsukasa arrive at Niigata skating rink in the early morning, seeking Coach Uobuchi's guidance. After observing Inori's skating, Uobuchi presents them with an unexpected proposition.

Inori joins an intensive training session with the Chubu Block competitors heading to the All-Japans. Reuniting with Hikaru and the other skaters, she quickly realises there is a gap in her abilities that she had not anticipated.

Tsukasa finds himself in an unexpected situation skating alongside legends Jun Yodaka and Shinichiro Sonidori. As he watches Jun move across the ice with breathtaking skill, something stirs within him.

At the Niigata rink, Inori and Tsukasa cross paths with Miku Ahiru, a formidable competitor, along with her coach Kohei Kamogawa and choreographer Juna Shiratori, both former clubmates of Tsukasa's. When Inori speaks with Miku, she discovers something unexpected about her rival's future in skating. Meanwhile, Tsukasa finds himself confronting uncomfortable truths about his abilities as a coach. With the competition approaching, both Inori and Tsukasa face questions that could reshape their path forward.

Inori faces the level one badge test, setting her next step of competing in a championship. A successful double jump will be essential for a high score.

Tsukasa and Hitomi encourage Inori to take the Badge Test, a certification exam for figure skating which will allow Inori to qualify for competitions. On the day of the test, Inori meets a beautiful girl who looks like a princess.

Hikaru is one of the best performers of Inori's generation, and Inori is eager to catch up. However, she worries about how far behind she is in terms of her skill level compared to others her age. Tsukasa suggests Inori compete in a competition immediately after passing the level one badge test.

On the way to a competition, Inori leaves her skates on a train by accident. Tsukasa goes on a mad hunt for the skates ten stations away.

When former figure skater Tsukasa Akeuraji meets a self-taught skater, Inori Yuitsuka, he tries to persuade her to join a formal ice skating club. Unfortunately, Inori's mother wants her clumsy daughter to give up skating altogether.

Tsukasa decides to enter Inori into the Meikoh Cup to build up her record of success. When Inori feels shy dancing in front of others, Tsukasa gets her to dance in his shadow to conquer her nerves. During skating practice, Inori also meets a girl named Miké at the rink.

Inori competes in her second Meikoh cup, but she will need to perfect the extremely difficult double Axel if she is to progress to the next level. Meanwhile, Tsukasa is asked by Olympic silver medalist Shinichiro Sonidori to mentor his son, Rioh.
