Medalist episode 6 recap

Medalist episode 6, titled First Match Night, commenced with a focus on Tsukasa and Inori standing outside the ice rink, waiting for the latter's parents to arrive and pick her up. As the atmosphere got awkward, Inori asked Tsukasa to rush things because her gap with Hikaru was tremendous, and it would keep getting bigger unless she kept getting better.

As expected, Tsukasa complied with her request and was reminded of her past. Inori then asked about Tsukasa's past as the series put light on Tsukasa's origins for the first time. In the middle of high school, Tsukasa developed a keen interest in ice skating but as expected, it was too late. However, he didn't give up and traveled to another prefecture to compete.

Here, he met Meiko Koga during a chance encounter and her family gave Tsukasa a place to live while he practiced ice skating. However, Meiko soon passed away. Added to the disappointment from his ice skating career, Tsukasa hung his shoes forever. This was where the conversation ended as Inori's mother arrived to pick her up.

As Tsukasa was leaving, Koga arrived and asked where he had been since he left their side. He then pushed Tsukasa to a local sushi bar where Koga learned how awful life Tsukasa was living. Despite offering to stay with the Koga family, Tsukasa refused because Meiko was no longer there. However, to honor her memory, he finally decided to accept the offer of the Koga family.

What to expect from Medalist episode 7? (speculative)

Medalist episode 7 title is yet to be revealed. The next episode might see Inori and Tsukasa striving for a new adventure in the Kyoto Tournament, which was mentioned in the previous episode.

Moreover, Medalist episode 7 might also see the introduction of some new characters, specifically young ice skaters that might give Inori a run for her money. With Inori and Tsukasa now rushing, how long will it take to reach the same level as Hikaru?
