During the quarter finals of the summer tournament, where the Dolphins face off against the powerhouse, Touto boys, Nagai's run on an uncaught third strike brings the team back from the brink of death.
Then, in the bottom of the 7th inning, Urabe is under pressure by Touto, with 2 outs and loaded bases, so Hikaru gets up on the mound again.
Back in form, Hikaru throws incredibly fast balls, but while trying to catch an easy fly ball, he collides with Daigo and the game is irrevocably lost.
The week after the match, worried about Hikaru's condition, Daigo heads to Gunma...
I wanted to wait until we had 
a clearer picture before talking to you,
.أردت الانتظار إلى أن تتضح الصورة قبل التحدث إليكما

Quería esperar a que se calmaran

Quería esperar a que se calmaran
las cosas para deciros esto,

avant d’en parler,
Volevo aspettare che le cose fossero 
più chiare per parlare con voi,
Eu queria esperar até tudo estar
mais claro pra falar com vocês,
Я хотел подождать, пока всё прояснится,
