Odc. 26: Festiwale są straszne! Baseball też jest straszny!!

26

Kousaku learns Suzume is frightened of festivals, and the upcoming Kotobuki Shrine Festival makes Ibari so angry he has another heart attack. Hibari explains that the border between the Oozora's and the Umiushi's territories passes through Kotobuki Shrine and every year they fight over who owns the festival. Ibari and the Umiushi boss are summoned by the Zenigame Groups boss who orders them to settle the matter with a baseball game. It soon becomes clear the Oozora soldiers are useless at baseball while the Umiushi's hire Geronimo, a Native Indian major league baseball player. Tsugumi decides to play to get revenge against Umiushi's son, Bunta, for dumping her, so Kousaku, Hibari and Tsubame decide to play as well. During the game the players employ typical yakuza violence and rampant cheating. Seiji gets in a fight with Geronimo and Sabu is injured, meaning he cannot pitch so Hibari pitches instead. She throws the ball so hard she breaks Geronimo's bat. Zenigame, who has a crush on Hibari, decides to personally take over the festival so the Oozora's and Umiushi's have no reason to fight. Ibari fears that if Zenigame learns Hibari was assigned male at birth, he will have Ibari assassinated, causing another heart attack. (Source: Wikipedia)
