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...
Up against the other team's ace, 
who had yet to hit,
،أمام اللّاعب الأوّل لدى الفريق الآخر
،والذي لم يكن قد أحرز ضربة بعد
Er warf sein ganzes Repertoire
Contra la estrella de otro equipo
que no batea,
Contra la estrella
de otro equipo que no batea,
Il a dévoilé chacune de ses balles
Certo è che Narumiya affronta l'asso avversario,
para o ás do outro time,
que ainda não acertou,
он показал наилучшие подачи против аса,
