The second episode of 'Days' aired on July 9 on Tokyo MX: Key characters from manga make anime appearance

The second episode of "Days" aired on July 9 on Tokyo MX. The latest episode revealed the rest of the first-year and new members of Seiseki's soccer team.

The episode entitled "I Want to be Part of the Dream" began with lead character Tsukoshi Tsukamoto running laps around the school gate with his fellow first-years.This was upon the order of their upperclassmen. Tsukoshi got called out for being the slowest which then resulted to another round. Jin Kazama joined the upperclassmen in watching the lower years run. The second-years questioned Jin on why he was not running alongside the new members. He reasoned that he was still the best soccer player even without training.

Midway in the group run, some of the freshmen began complaining that the training regimen set out for them was too harsh. It was shown that the sophomores also ordered to clean their club room, fix the equipment and cheer louder among other things. Jin then blurted out that their upperclassmen have the right to give unreasonable demands as it was "the ugly truth of the athletics world."

The first-years finished their laps at nightfall. Jin then offered his drink to his teammates who were sprawled on the floor and panting out of exhaustion. Kurusu stood up and blamed Tsukoshi for being the reason why they were sentenced to jog until they were out of breath. As a result, Tsukoshi asked their team captain if he could run laps for the rest of the team. The other first-years recognized his devotion and later joined him until they finished the course.

When Seiseki arrived at the joint training camp, they were forced to sprint around the camping site. Tsukoshi was teased for his stature at first but when everyone saw that he was leading the run, they had a newfound respect for the hero.

The next episode of "Days" will cover the rest of the joint training camp and will air on July 16.
