Hikaru is given a phone call asking him to appear in the Japan/China/Korea Junior's Tournament but he finds out he will have to take place in a preliminary tournament to choose Japan's three contestants. Upon discussing this with Akira, he discovers that Akira has already been chosen for the tournament and will not be taking place in the preliminaries. Hikaru then decides not to visit Akira's Go Salon until he takes his place on the team with Akira. That may be tougher than originally planned, as not only does Hikaru have to battle with old friends for one of two coveted spots, but he may have a new challenger, in a promising player from the Kansai Go Institute.

Where it came from
Released in 2004, Hikaru no Go: Hokuto Hai e no Michi serves as a television special that functions as a follow-up to the celebrated anime series based on the manga by Yumi Hotta and Takeshi Obata. Produced by Studio Pierrot, the special was created to bridge the narrative gap left by the conclusion of the main series, specifically focusing on the selection process and team formation for the Hokuto Cup, a fictional youth tournament between Japan, China, and Korea.
The animation and character design maintain the aesthetic established in the original series, emphasizing the strategic intensity of Go through dynamic framing and focused character expressions. Directed to provide closure for fans who felt the initial anime adaptation ended abruptly, the special was well-received for finally showcasing the team-based competitive dynamics that were teased in the final chapters of the source material.
