Seido sticks around to watch the next game and sees Akikawa Academy's Shunshin Yeung and his clockwork control. The match between Seido and Puplic Murata East ends with Seido getting another called game, 10-0 after 5 innings. Seido opens its first match against Maimon West, who is about to see what Furuya's fastball is all about. Realizing it's time to boost Kawakami's confidence, the Coach takes him aside and announces he will be their ace closer and to not worry about having to start. We see Furuya and Sawamura getting used to the fielding, but Kawakami appears to be struggling. After the Opening Ceremony, Seido returns to their practice facility. Only two schools, those whom make the championship game, will be able to go on to the National Tournament. The opening ceremonies are held for the Tokyo Tournament. Furuya isn't as lucky and is forced to take the makeup test. As Chris watches Sawamura pitch into the net, he secretky thinks how he can fine tune Sawamura's grip into a great weapon that no one will be able to defeat. After a few practices, he manages to get a 30, two 35's, and a 36 on his test making him eligible for the tourney. Until Sawamura passes all his exams, he will be ineligible to play in a game. Kanemaru helps Sawamura get ready for the exams. With the addition of these talented new players to an already powerful lineup, the Seidou baseball team aims to become the best in Japan, facing off against a number of formidable foes that stand in their way. He declares that he will one day become the team's ace, but that's only if fellow first year Satoru Furuya doesn't take the title first, with his breakneck fastballs that earn him a coveted spot on the starting roster. However, now surrounded by a large number of skilled players, Eijun struggles to find his place on the team. Encouraged by his teammates, Eijun accepts the offer, ready to improve his skills and play at a much more competitive level of baseball. But everything changes when a scout unexpectedly invites him to Tokyo's prestigious Seidou High School after seeing the potential in his unusual pitching style.
