After their own semifinal game the nine Seido players watch Inashiro's semifinal against Teito. 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...
I'm not one to talk, having told him he 
could be the best pitcher in Japan myself.
أنا بحدّ ذاتي لا يحقّ لي أن أقول له أنّ بمقدوره
أن يصبح الرّامي الأفضل في اليابان
Aber ich habe ihn ja selbst angespornt,
weil er der beste Japans werden könnte.
Aunque yo no soy mejor al haberle dicho
que podría ser el mejor de Japón.
Aunque no soy mejor al haberle dicho
que podría ser el mejor de Japón.
Enfin, après avoir moi-même
mis le feu aux poudres,
Non che io possa parlare, visto che gli ho detto che
potrebbe diventare il miglior lanciatore del Giappone.
Não posso dizer muito,
já que eu mesmo disse que ele
Не мне, конечно, говорить. Сам заявил,
 что он может стать лучшим в стране.
