Chapter 51, titled All-Japan Junior Women's FS (Part 1) (全日本ジュニア女子FS（前編 Zennihon Junia Joshi FS (Zenpen)), is the third chapter in Volume 13.
Synopsis
The chapter starts off with a flashback to when Jun first adopted Hikaru. He brings her to his skating sessions everyday, and Hikaru is inspired by him to skate. However, Jun tells that she shouldn't skate just because she felt that it's what would make the adults around her happy, and warns Hikaru that the skating he would teach would never bring her happiness.
The chapter then returns to the present at the All-Japan Junior's Free Skate, with Hikaru starting her skate. Hikaru starts out by saying that she started skating because she wanted to be like Jun, as she skates in a masculine way. She then suddenly transitions to a feminine style of skating, where she then states that she is now skating as herself instead of hiding behind Jun.
Hikaru jumps a Quad Lutz, an incredibly difficult difficult jump that few women have ever done. She then follows it up with a Quad Toe + Triple Toe + Double Toe combo, a Quad Salchow, a Triple Axel, which was meant to be a combo but failed due to an unstable landing, and then a Triple Lutz + Triple Loop. Tsukasa explains to Inori that Hikaru's method of jumping with her arms above her head, "tano jumping", is what enables her jumps.
Hikaru looks at Inori during the skate, trying to convey that she is skating not for the judges but for her. Inori is inspired by Hikaru's skating, and desire to return to skating.
