Narumiya and Mukai both played at Koshien Stadium as first-years, and then received their powerhouse school's ace number as second-years, and they'll both be pitching. Meanwhile, Seido High School is analyzing their game against Ichidai Third High, focusing on Coach Kataoka. Then, Miyuki remembers a certain thought...
For better or worse...
...بغضّ النّظر عن كلّ شيء
Ob es gut oder schlecht war …
Para bien o para mal,
Para bien o para mal…

Beh, in un modo o nell'altro...
Querendo ou não...
Будь то к лучшему или нет...
