<p>Sawamura is not yet ready to be ace. He needs more time to perfect arsenal which he owns. Furia will make a blunder in this game but will not be removed from the position of an ace. This match is a test for him.Next match will be a test for Sawamura and Kawakami, because the last time they made a blunder.Sawamura until the summer there is plenty of time to improve on his arsenal.Koshu will be with him. Miyuki will be behind them and monitor their work.Yui and Furia have plenty of time to correct their frustration. Miyuki will follow them.I think the story goes in the right direction.Sawamura, his progress is very much under scrutiny the whole team. He is already a big part of the team. Their eyes see everything.The main big boss has the same high expectations of Sawamura although it does not sufficiently show.Sawamura is the clown of the team for now. The clown who is the driving force of the team. His time is yet to come.  </p>

I also though that...hope not I still want to see miyuki and the other 2nd year who are now 3rd year

<p>i'm so into this manga now, is there maybe any chance to hope for international tournament tho? like they are all united as japan and well we got to see so many battery and yeah it will be so cool to thing about what's gonna happen in the team  </p>

<p>The only chances of the international tournament happening is if Terajima includes the U-18 national baseball team and the U-18 Baseball World Cup, U-18 Asian Baseball Championship. The only other international related game you'll see is the US-Tokyo friendship game that Terajima already hinted at in Act I. </p>

<p>Chapter 43 Spoilers/Raw http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4695283575?pn=0& </p><p>This chapter is flawless. Eijun striking out the 4th and 5th batters with 6 pitches made me feel goosebumps. His eyes and mannerism remind me do much of Hongo. MadEijun is my new kink. </p><p>Okay, that Kataoka gesture bring me so many feels. He's finally owning up to his mistakes so I expect a lot of good things from now on. </p>

<p>lol, furuya is damn selfish pitcher. seido lose because of him, if sawaru play from the beginning seido will win the match. so just put useless pitcher (fuckuya) at bench. super fast ball  without controll and self-control = piles of shit. </p>

<p>seido lose at ch 46 (act.2) because of fuckuya </p>

sawamura was the team ace long time again. furuya is just an ace by himself. he is far from being the team ace

<p>I hope Seidou lost this time so i can see Sawamura in 3rd year and Okumura/Sawamura battery, this series is fine without Miyuki and i think TJ didn't portray Miyuki that deep anymore in this Act.II dunno why, his relationship with both pitcher (Sawamura & Furuya) are not explored either compared with first years. </p>

It's sad but the author will probably make Inashiro win the game and Narumiya beat Raichi. I hope not, because I really like Yakushi. Just wondering but does anyone who watch this anime actually plays baseball?</i></div>
<p>Thank you for this interesting question.  I'd like to know, too. </p>
