The qualifiers for the summer tournament at Koshien are finally underway. Due to being seeded, Meisei High gets a bye for the first and second rounds, meaning they have to wait to find out who their first opponent will be.
But of course, what should've been 
their place to shine is all muddied up.
بالطبع، ما كان ينبغي أن يكون مكان
تألّقهم مليء بالوحل
Doch statt eines strahlenden Auftritts
liefern sie sich eine Schlammschlacht.
Aunque su momento decisivo
está bien pasado por agua hoy.
Eso sí: su momento decisivo
está bien pasado por agua hoy.
Caramba, era para ser o lugar para brilharem,
mas estão todos enlameados!
Жаль только, что место, где они должны 
сиять, всё в слякоти и грязи.
