On the train home after the Tokyo Invitational game, Miyuki meets Narumiya and gives him some honest advice. They promise an intense battle in the summer tournament. Meanwhile, the fierce game against Seiho on Seido’s practice field has come to an end. The Seido nine reflect on their challenges to address, including those from their loss to Yamamori Academy. It’s now time to decide the twenty players who will make the roster for the summer tournament.
But having a cripple just 
there to sit on the bench...
لكنّ وجود أعرج جالسًا
...على الدّكّة فحسب
Na ja, bringt ja nix, jemanden zu haben,
der sich nicht bewegen kann.
Aunque nadie quiere a alguien
que no puede moverse en la banca.
Aunque nadie quiere a uno
que no puede moverse en el banquillo.
Enfin, j’aurais pas servi
à grand-chose, sur le banc…
Certo, non so quanto un mezzo storpio
vi sarebbe stato utile, in panchina...
Mas ter um aleijado só
pra ficar no banco...
Хотя... что толку от калеки
 на скамейке запасных...
