第 18 集: Eiichirou 尋求父母批准以成為職業選手，並面對 Ike Souji

Eiichirou investigates going Pro, but his reaction from his parents is less than he expected. Eiichirou joins Natsu at the first round of the All Japan Pro to watch the debut match of Ike Souji. Afterwards he puts together a presentation for his parents on going Pro and asks for one year where he won't have to study or attend cram school so he can make the All Japan Junior. Should he fail to win the All Japan Junior, Eiichirou will turn his entire focus to studying. After gaining approval Eiichirou informs his coaches at STC, who come up with a hellacious schedule, both for practice and for tournaments, that will qualify him for the All Japan Junior. At the end of the episode Ike Souji appears to greet his old friends at STC, and after getting approval from his coach, manager, and doctor he gets 10 minutes of practice time with each STC member who volunteers to face him. When his doctor, coach, and manager disappear, Ike grabs a hold of the ball and asks Eiichirou to play a practice match with him during the remaining time instead of just hitting the ball back and forth.
