Arata needs to play in the individual tournament, so that he can request for his dad to transfer to Chihaya's and Taichi's school. If he can't play, that might mean that they will be on opposing teams the following year, which will be a disappointment.
Also, will Arata be able to watch Chihaya's team play? Chihaya is very perspective of her team members, and it shows again this episode when she calmed Taichi down. Also, what Taichi said to Chihaya about focusing and not looking for Arata is sort of correct (he could have let her look for a minute, it wouldn't hurt), but his motivation for doing so is in question again. Did he say it truly and only because he wanted Chihaya to focus, or did he do that because he was upset at Chihaya being excited to look for Arata? In this case, I think it is a bit of both.
