Miyuki finds out that Sawamura's talent is a natural breaking pitch that changes its course at random. With Miyuki's help, Sawamura defeats Azuma in the end.
Sawamura is totally overwhelmed by this experience, but back in his hometown he feels guilty towards his former teammates.
He needs some time, the encouragements of his friends and a punch from his grandfather to realize, that it’s not a betrayal of his friends to leave his hometown to join Seidou to get better. So he decides to take on his new journey.
At the day of his departure, after Sawamura gets on the train, his friends reveal that they really loved to play with Sawamura and secretly wanted him to stay and play again with them together. They never told him about their reluctant feelings before – because they knew that Sawamura wouldn't go otherwise. It's a tearful farewell.
