The episode begins with a tense conversation among members of Kenjo High School about the upcoming practice game against Meisei High. The Kenjo team is suspicious of Meisei's potential, especially regarding the younger Tachibana siblings, and plans to use this game to bring them to their knees. However, it's clear that they are underestimating their opponent.
In a humorous twist, the team manager of Meisei High accidentally accepts the practice match. He mistakenly marks an X on the proposal, thinking it means rejecting the offer. When the misunderstanding comes to light, a sense of foreboding lingers within the Meisei team.
An interesting subplot is the introduction of Gorou Ooyama, a brash, larger-than-life character who draws attention with his boisterous behavior. His lively presence adds some comedy, but his potential as a player isn’t fully explored in this episode.
At the same time, we get a glimpse into the Tachibana family’s private life. The older Tachibana has strained his back and is being cared for by a family friend with a mysterious past. The domestic scene provides a contrast to the tension of the upcoming battle.
The episode culminates in the practice game, where the underdog Meisei High team proves its skills. Their lead-off hitter aims to force the Kenjo pitcher to throw as many pitches as possible. Although he strikes out on the first pitch, his hit sparks a sense of hope in the Meisei team.
Meanwhile, the older Tachibana is asked about his brother, who is conspicuously absent from the game. We learn that he got involved in a minor criminal incident while jogging, which is why he’s missing. This twist adds another layer of intrigue to the episode.
The game continues, and Meisei holds its own despite the absence of their best pitcher. Their determination and the strategic advice from the older Tachibana help them put up a good fight.
