After losing the final, things are looking grim at Seido. Haruichi has locked himself in his room. "Somewhere in my heart, I was waiting for this day." Maezono tells him how he feels. After Maezono's eye-opening remark, Haruichi rises and grabs a bat.
but somewhere in my heart, 
I was waiting for this day.
aber irgendwo tief drinnen,
habe ich auf diesen Tag gewartet.
pero, en alguna parte de mi corazón, 
estaba esperando este día.
pero, en alguna parte de mi corazón, 
estaba esperando este día.
Quelque part, j’attendais
ce jour avec impatience.
mas, de alguma forma, eu 
estava esperando este dia.
