Riding high on their new pro status, Team Persona still needs an official sponsor before they're recognized, and local sushi shop Komaba Sushi looks promising. Owners Meiko Myoden and Taisho Sushiya put each teammate through a test battle, requiring two out of three wins. Persona pulls it off despite Robin's loss, and Komaba Sushi becomes their official sponsor.
