The episode begins with a look back at Team Kenjo Meisei's last game. Despite the loss, one member insists on preserving the scoreboard through a photo and envisions a future where they would play in a packed Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium.

Soon, attention shifts to the whereabouts of Tou, a central figure on the team who had been hanging around with Koma and the others. An open conversation unfolds, touching on belief in Tou's talent and the controversies surrounding his playing style. Striking in this interaction is the revelation that one of them intentionally tipped off opponents about Tou's pitches to prevent him from becoming overconfident.

As the narrative progresses, we delve into the past—the story of the Meisei High School baseball team's victory at the 1986 Koshien tournament, with the echo of the school anthem in the background.

The focus then shifts to Touma Tachibana, the much-talked-about pitcher at the East Tokyo Tournament. From classroom banter to his autograph sessions and speculation about his pitching speed, his character continues to fascinate. The climax arrives as concerns arise about a possible curse surrounding Meisei High's promising aces, triggered by past tragic events.

By the end of the episode, a trial game takes center stage, where team members are evaluated and the starting lineup for upcoming matches is decided. The announcement of the team roster brings surprises, and the friendly rivalry over a bowl of ramen adds a lighthearted touch.
