Seido, Inashiro Vocational, and Shuhoku are having a three-way round-robin. Game two of the round-robin is Inashiro vs Shuhoku, and the ace of Inashiro, Mei Narumiya, is pitching this game. He's the one who shut out Seido's batters at the last summer tournament semi-final. To make matters worse, Narumiya shows off a new weapon he didn't have last year. The pitch lights a fire under Seido's ace, Tanba. He too has a new weapon he's been working on.
His overconfident 
face makes me mad!
Sein selbstzufriedenes Gesicht
 macht mich verrückt!
¡Sus caras confiadas me ponen de malas!
¡Sus caras confiadas me ponen de mala leche!
J’aime pas
leur air supérieur.
A confiança dele me irrita!
