Thank you handsome @Friss for the RAWs!

Atobe points out that Mental Assassin works even against opponents who are as good or even better than Ochi. It's then explained that, by closing his eyes and not looking at the course of his serve, Ochi creates an opening in his opponent's mind and attacks with amplified mental pressure.
Japan win the game and the score is 1-0
In the next rally, Spain seemingly has an advantage and forces a lob. Julio then hits a smash... but the ball goes straight at the net since he's still under the effects of the Mental Assassin. And it's not just Julio, Medanore notices that even Bambieri's Parkour Tennis is affected. Since their attacks cannot pass the net, the Spaniards quickly find themselves at 0-3.
Bambieri realises that, if they fail to win this game, they'll
surely drop to 0-5 since Ochi's service game is next... and they'll have no chance. Julio calls him over:
"Bambi... this is a desperate situation".
Flashback to their training with Nanjirou, they are left on the ground while the badass Japanese gets a sick panel with a samurai shadow.
"Mada mada dana"
We then see that Julio is playing blindfolded while Bambieri is restrained by balls and chains. Nanjirou says that when in a pinch, players are divided into two groups: those that give up and lose, and those that achieve a dramatic growth and climb their way up. Which one will the teenagers be?
The reps stand up: they don't see this desperate situation as some sort of crisis, they are actually happy to be able to overcome it together.
In the present, the Spanish players have started a comeback, they share one wish! They evolve and somehow defeat the Mental Assassin, and after some swift games the score is now leveled 3-3.
...and just as everyone thinks Japan is cornered, Spain quickly loses a point.
"What was that?"
"Was it the Moonlit Night of Dreams?"
Mouri shows being in a pinch has also made him evolve.
"I've been waiting".

Volk is surprised by Mouri's tennis sense. He evolved his Sleep into Dream, and then this new ability resonated with Ochi's Silence. This ability to control your Dreams is called Lucid Dreaming.
Saito observes that Mouri pulled off a new trick at the perfect moment, right after Spain's wake-up call, changing the flow of the match. Just as he thinks that Jusaburou has an outstanding ability to adapt, he remembers someone's words: "He is a gifted player that will one day surpass me".
Bambieri attacks with the Resonance of the Moon, Lasting Moonlight, but Ochi counters with the same move and scores. Japan keeps their service game and they now lead 4-3.
Julio screams at the Japanese telling them they are amazing, that they exceeded their expectations over and over again. Bambieri says that he never felt this way playing doubles, and attacks the net jumping very high, winning the game for Spain.
Both teams manage to keep their following service games and the score is now 5-5. The American reps watch surprised, while Ludovic comments that whoever believes in themselves and their pair the most will be closer to victory. Volk then says that everyone should pay attention, doubles players or not, as they are witnessing the Miracle of the Best Doubles.
A totally not gay song starts playing, with all the main pairs we know cutting in to tell how glad they are they found their partner of all players in the world and the experiences they shared together. As the song ends, we reach the climax of the match, which will finish in the next chapter.
