Ookiku Furikabutte Episode 6-8
On the train home they boarded the same train Sakitama’s captain and ace player Daichi. Sakitama’s captain asks for training session with Nishiura which Abe strongly suggest accepting. Daichi then went and ask Mihashi to throw “all my at-bats” in the training which Mihashi says no. “All my at-bats” , I wonder is that the correct translation?
Before, Abe intentionally walks Daishi. Mihashi thinks Abe let Daichi off because he was weak. Abe then explain he would walk anyone in future for their game-play strategy. Not because he thinks Mihashi couldn’t handle it. Abe then ask Mihashi not to throw before next game-play and take care of his body. Mihashi understand that Abe cares for him so he’ll do his best to follow everything Abe wants. IMHO I think Mihashi is the best slave for Abe yaoi’s fantasy.
Next fight is Nishiura versus Kounan . If they won this one, which they did – they will fight againts Bijou in the 4th round. Bijou’s coach has been watching Nishiura since their 2nd game. And it seems that they have already figure out the thing goin on with Abe and Mihashi.
Abe finally snaps at Mihashi after Mihashi keep asking will he quit the team. Mihashi explain he thinks he can win only with Abe helping him. When he got home, Mihashi’s dad is waiting. I bet some of you recognize that face.. Yeah he looks exactly like Tajima. The thing about this anime is that everyone looks almost the same. It’s like quadruple of people marrying their cousins or something. Anyway, the next day, reporter came to interview Nishiura’s coach. They finally getting acknowledge by media.
Finally it’s the day to fight Bijou High School. From the beginning they had trouble with Bijou. Bijou batter seems to know every call that Abe made. Abe’s game calling didn’t work with Bijou. And when defending, they position themselves with the kind of pitch Nishiura batter would usually make.Abe finally realize about this after Mihashi figure out that player are hitting differently than what is in data. Because Bijou realize, throwing a Ball into hitter strongest location is Abe’s habit. It seems that Nishiura has been precisely analyzed by Bijou.
In order to save this game, Abe plan is to make fake signal where Mihashi would act like he won’t throw to catcher selection. Everyone in the team now plots revenge against Bijou.
