Seido stays to watch Ichidai's game to prepare for the upcoming quarterfinal. Ichidai's opponent is Yakushi, a nameless school. Yakushi's clean-ups were completely different from their previous games and were played by first-years. Ichidai scores in the first inning making it look like an easy win, but...
I hear that Seido's ace, Tanba boy, 
is his childhood friend.
Ich habe gehört, dass Seidos Ace, Tanba boy,
 sein Kindheitsfreund war.
Escuché que la estrella de Seidou, Tanba, 
es su amigo de la infancia.
He oído que la estrella de Seidou, 
Tanba, es su amigo de la infancia.
J’ai entendu dire
Parece que Tanba boy, o ás do 
Seidou, é amigo de infância dele.
