As the Seishu team members sit dejected and disappointed in their changing room after the game, they are visited by several members of their school's baseball club. While some of the members offer words of encouragement and support, others criticize and blame the team for losing the game.

One of the club members, Eiji Kashii, suggests that the team should adopt a more aggressive playing style in future games, which prompts Ko to speak up and voice his disagreement.
