strategy against him in the spring ranking matches, where shots are made deep to
the baseline taking away an opponents stamina. Wakato finally realizes this
when Kaidou does a Boomerang Snake which Wakato attempts to return with a
Boomerang Snake. However, he cannot do it because he does not have refined
wrist technique like Kaidou. Kaidou wins 7-6. Winner: Seigaku
