A middle-aged man watches the intrasquad game. He is none other than Eijiro Sakaki, the man who made Seido's baseball team famous. He was also Kataoka's high school coach. "You used to be such a demon child." Sakaki reminisces on the past.
Maybe it was the weight of the ace number,
Vielleicht war es die Verantwortung als Ace,
Tal vez fuera el peso de la estrella
 o su incomparable espíritu,
Tal vez fuera por el peso de la
 estrella o por su incomparable espíritu,
Son éclosion en tant que nº 1
Non so se sia stato il peso 
della maglia del campione
Talvez tenha sido o fardo do número 1
