Alrighty folks, here we go again with the sports-romance magic of Blue Box! For those of you who are OBSESSED (and let’s be real, who isn’t?), Episode 4 is just around the corner, landing on October 24, 2024. So get your calendars ready because it’s about to get even more intense. But before we dive into what to expect, let’s rewind a bit and do a quick recap of where things stand. Spoiler alert… it’s getting GOOD!
A Quick Recap – Episodes 1 to 3
So, what’s been happening so far in this emotional rollercoaster of love, sweat, and badminton? In Episode 1, we got introduced to Taiki Inomata, our lovable and slightly awkward badminton player, who—surprise, surprise—has a huge crush on Chinatsu Kano, the basketball star who happens to move in with his family! (Yep, sounds like a teen dream-turned-comedy-of-errors.)
Moving on to Episode 2, titled You Have to Go to Nationals, we see Taiki and Chinatsu working hard to achieve their sports dreams. But let’s be real: while Taiki’s smashing birdies in badminton, he’s also battling some serious heart flutters because of Chinatsu. Oh, and there’s the whole love triangle mess with Hina, who thinks Taiki likes her, and Kengo Haryu, the senior badminton god who Taiki needs to defeat in order to progress. Drama alert, am I right?

By the time we hit Episode 3, Taiki’s feeling the heat! Not only is he trying to balance his growing feelings for Chinatsu, but he’s also struggling with badminton defeats. Haryu even throws Taiki into intense training sessions that push him to the edge. And just when you think things couldn’t get more awkward, Taiki finds out that Haryu isn’t even into Chinatsu, but someone in the entertainment industry. Yeah, mind blown!
What’s Coming in Episode 4? 🎉
So, what can we expect in Episode 4? Well, it’s safe to say that things will continue heating up on the emotional and sports front. Taiki and Haryu will be teaming up (gasp!) for the upcoming nationals, and while their bond is growing stronger, there’s still that tension hanging in the air with Chinatsu in the mix.
Taiki’s growth—both as an athlete and emotionally—will be front and center. Will he FINALLY figure out how to balance his romantic feelings with his intense drive to win in badminton? And will Chinatsu play a larger role in this love-polygon-slash-sports-rivalry dynamic? Guess we’ll have to wait and see!
Expect lots of heart-pounding training montages, awkward encounters, and hilarious moments as Taiki continues to stumble through both his sports and love life. If you’ve been loving the Blue Box formula so far, Episode 4 is shaping up to bring more of the same drama-filled action and emotional moments we crave.
