The story begins with a practice game between Meisei High School and Kaiou Nishi High School. Meisei High School wins the game, led by their amazing pitcher. Not a single ball from the opposing team makes it into the field, thanks to the strong pitcher and the strategic play-calling by Souichirou.
However, the manager of the opposing team is not satisfied and proposes a duel between the second pitchers of both teams. This puts Natsuno, a tenth grader, in the spotlight. Despite some initial struggles, Natsuno pitches four innings without a hit, though with eight walks and three runs, resulting in a unique no-hitter with three runs!
Meanwhile, the mysterious man who saved Otomi in an earlier episode continues to puzzle the Tachibana family. They try to learn more about him, but he suffers from memory loss. His only clue? A fragmented memory of a café that no longer exists. He befriends the owner of a ramen shop and recalls the café that stood in its place 30 years ago, as well as the regulars it attracted.
Back at Meisei High, Mita, the baseball team’s manager, continues to push the team forward. Despite her harshness, the team appreciates her dedication, and it’s hinted that Akai might think better of her if he saw this side of her.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as the ramen shop owner recognizes the amnesiac man from an old rivalry. He gathers his old gang and prepares to confront the man who made his school life a nightmare. The man’s identity is finally revealed as Shohei Harada, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown in the next episode.
