Haruichi has become a true bishounen, but I'll miss his hentai protagonist hairstyle.
Excited to see all those first-years although not sure on Okumura and Yui being a catcher as that position is almost never switched during a match especially since we got genius Miyuki.

they have the same one scenario like furuya and sawamura tho.
at least they're guaranteed to have 2 good catcher in sawamura's 3rd year arc.

i suppose ima put it in a spoiler, but they are both gonna be there for a potential third year, while its being hinted okumura one day gonna overtake miyuki and make the ultimate ultimate battery with sawamura when its time

wait really? I really don't mind spoiler, but that's a nice info.

really??? when?? in which chapter??

To be honest, it would have been much much more interesting if someone(either coach or whoever) from another school baseball team had seen Sawamura's unwavering talent/potential and dedication and thought it would be a waste to only have him as a relief pitcher and invited him to that school. That would have been fu**ing AWESOME. That way they could have a showdown later and know who is the true ACE pitcher. I would have loved to see Seidou being beaten by Sawamura's team where he is the ACE.

HARUCCHI!!!!! 😳😭🥺

i think it finally started huh

I think Sawamura can be a good captain in his senior year hurm

I think kanemaru would get it
and the 3rd year arc would be

THIS IS JUST THEORY definitely not canon

leadoff Seto
2nd tojo
3rd kominato
4th masashi (tetsu's bro)
5th kanemaru
6th furuya/sawamura
7th okumura/yui
8th 2nd year/yui (if yui plays non-catcher role)
9th 2nd year

just realized
there are like few known players at sawamura's generation
tojo, kanemaru, sawamura, furuya, kominato, kariba (catcher)

hope they introduced more of them in time.

AAHHHH I LUV THIS

kominato's blushing is now more viewable!

kantoku speech was awsome, he was so proud on the team making it on koshien sheesh

At least there's no more pitching competition or Eijun would lose to them too lol.

-_- another one who underestimates our mc , furuya will get his lose too lol .

NIce

there is one or two tho. that glasses one and that injured guy.
tho they're subpar to current beast furuya and dark horse sawamura
but I think they'll be a better player in their 2nd year.

My man Kanemaru is a SIMP

2 new catchers for furuya and sawamura

i dont enjoy the anime like before

What are they gonna do with so many catchers. I wanna see more first string vs second string matches, but theroetically, now nobody should be able to bat Furuya smh.

this is setting for their 3rd year arc. why are you all trying to find another pitcher when there's no catcher on sawamura's generation? i think kariba is on sawamura's generation but he's not really that good

Eh? Not really. A pitcher has one good outing once and people think he's god lmao. Pitchers have highs and lows. For Furuya, the high is really high and the low is hella low, watch ep 15. Don't mind though, he's getting better and better.
