Episode synopsis
Police raided a sports bar in Roppongi, and employees and customers were arrested on suspicion of gambling. JBN was in a panic when they found out that Japan's volleyball ace Nawa (Suzuki Takayuki) and announcer Koike (Tsukishiro Kanato) , who were also there, were voluntarily taken into custody. What's more, E-Stream, who learned of the commotion, said it would withdraw from its role as the main sponsor of the International Volleyball Championship. If that happens, JBN, which sponsors the international volleyball championship, will suffer a huge loss. It could also affect the program budget. Shindo (Abe Hiroshi) goes to meet Nishina (Miyagawa Ichirota), the president of E-Stream, and declares that he will reveal Nawa's innocence.
