Takumi did not exert his full pitching potential during the match against Yokoteni Junior High's slugger Kadowaki, which left Go with complicated emotions regarding the performance. In a separate development, Kadowaki approaches his teammate Mizukaki to express his desire to organize an unsanctioned game against Nitta Higashi. Mizukaki appears intrigued by Kadowaki's intense enthusiasm for this proposed match, setting the stage for further interactions between the players as they consider the implications of playing outside official channels.
