Blue Box episode 7 recap
In episode 7 of Blue Box, titled Can I Have One?, fans see Taiki, Chinatsu, and their teams preparing for their prefectural tournaments. The episode begins with Taiki heading to badminton practice and noticing that Chinatsu’s basketball qualifiers are coming up soon.
Taiki loses a match against Haryu at practice, who tells him not to get used to losing. Meanwhile, Nishida jokingly reminds Haryu of his own past defeat against Hyodo from Sajikawa, but Haryu brushes it off and reminds Taiki they’ll face each other in the singles tournament too.
On his way home, Taiki sees Chinatsu carrying some bags and offers to help. They turn it into a playful game, pretending to be mere acquaintances who know each other from school. Taiki “meets” her again, offering to carry her bags, and they walk to a shrine together, where Taiki prays for them both to reach the Nationals.
The next day, Chinatsu’s basketball team wins their first prefectural match. However, she and her friend Nagisa overhear members of the rival Kagohara Academy team saying that Chinatsu won’t be a challenge. Chinatsu stays calm, saying it’s normal for opponents to think that way.
At practice, Taiki notices Chinatsu seems less happy after the match. Later, Taiki overhears Nagisa defending Chinatsu’s hard work. Chinatsu stays determined, saying she’ll let her playing prove them wrong, impressing Taiki with her focus and resilience.
Meanwhile, Taiki keeps practicing and finally wins a set against Haryu, but Haryu quickly adjusts and wins the next set using a new move. Haryu thanks Taiki for helping him practice it just in time for the tournament and encourages Taiki not to lose until they meet again on the court.
The episode wraps up with Taiki and Kyo running into their teammates and their teacher at a store. Taiki shares a snack with Chinatsu, who teasingly says she was “jealous” of Hina for taking a piece earlier. This leaves Taiki blushing and wondering about what she meant when she said "jealous."
What to expect from Blue Box episode 8?
Following the emotional highs and intense preparations of episode 7, fans can expect episode 8 to dive deeper into the upcoming tournaments for both the badminton and basketball teams.

Meanwhile, Chinatsu’s resolve to prove herself against Kagohara Academy promises an intense showdown. Her calm response to overhearing their ridicule shows her maturity, but the pressure is mounting. Fans can look forward to seeing how Chinatsu’s leadership and skill will shine on the court as she fights to take her team further in the qualifiers.
On the personal front, Taiki’s interactions with Chinatsu continue to evolve, especially after her unexpected confession of jealousy. With subtle romantic tension and their mutual support for each other, viewers can expect more heartwarming moments.
