Yes! Sawamura ownage time! This is how you get out of a rough situation. 6 pitches, 6 strikes, two outs!

Favorite moment is when Kataoka patted Sawamura telling him "Sorry that we had to rely on you". Looks like the tide is turning finally.

Best chapter in Act 2 to date.

Goosebumps. I don't know if because it's been long overdue but the reactions and faces of everyone, their commentaries felt so satisfyingly good. Like, this is Sawamura Eijun! Now bask in his awesomeness.

What made the whole situation so badass is because we all know what he's been through so this is momentous. I love all his ragefaces, especially that blazing sun look. He also seems to be so into it he's talking to himself in one panel! Oh, Eijun.

The moment with Kataoka is straight up heartwarming. Sure Eijun is angry but he still called him boss so we know he's not angry at Kataoka but it's weird he hasn't spoken a single word to Miyuki yet. Well, the flashbacks last chapter features Miyuki prominently so I'd say the blame is on him.

Eijun's atbat, I'm expecting a homerun (unlikely but still would be so cool to witness) or an RBI. Come on, Eijun! Show them the results of talent plus hardwork!

His eyes was pretty like Hongo's eyes when they fought his team. It's giving me some chills.

The true ace emerges. Eijun is imperious. All that tenacity and anger focused and channeled into his pitching.

Kataoka, you do not deserve to have Eijun pitching for you. He is the true No. 1 of Seidou.

Okumura is looking again at Eijun with fresh new eyes. You still think he is just a loud mouth of no skill? You know you want to be his personal catcher now. It's not too late.

Finally Eijun doesn't get shafted or made into comedic relief. This is finally a turning point for him and hopefully the Coach will finally notice that.

it seems the coach and Miziyuki still are surprised that when he gets into form, he's better than Furuya. Starting to really be a tease an I'm getting tired of the whole "Sawamura, you're amazing, thanks for saving our asses. Now Furuya you're our ace and we need you to... blah blah blah." I hope the Coach realizes it because it seems like everyone else except him sees it
"If you really wanna know, then go see it with your own eyes, you bastard."

"You must really, really, try hard, huh?"

"Now that's shameful of you, brother. What is it that you've remembered that made you cry like that.."

"All you selfish bastards keep going on without me..."

"I thought that if I'd die, that's fine with me; anytime at all."

I think this is the first time when I read a DnA chapter so many times ! I love the "new" Sawamura.. The dude is not making funny reactions after succesful pitches as usual.
And the look of Kataoka coach in the last page looking at Eijun, I love it :D

Terajima Yuuji-shi, please i beg of you, let Sawamura hit at bat, even if it's a fluke I wanna see everyone's jaws drop xD Don't end his epicness with a lame strikeout that everyone will just laugh off.

I think Sawamura might get a hit, but not a home run. The other batters will help him scoring a point, though. ;)
I honestly expect Seido to loose, but Sawamura will be going out with a bam and make everyone understand the game could have been won, if he would've been switched in sooner. Nobody will blame Sawamura, because he's not going to loose any more runs and pitching the game of his life right now. That's the scenario I have in my head.
After the game Kataokawi ll have a serious talk with Miyuki, as both of them let Furuya pitch for too long and after that Miyuki also needs to give Sawamura some feedback/praise. He's probably not going to talk to him much during the game, but as his catcher and captain he needs to get his mouth open.

I really doubt they will lose. This is the final year of Kazuya. So, I'm pretty sure they want to have a Sawamura-Kazuya battery at Koushien.

It really feels the tides are about to change because Eijun showed up so gloriously and prove himself in front of all those people. Heck, the amount of praise he received in a single chapter was so much that I'm pleasantly surprised.

Since both Miyuki and Kataoka was sorely disappointed with Furuya, we know something will happen. I sure Furuya will not pitch in the finals if Seidou wins this.

Here's quite a useful statistics;

even if they win this tournament , they won't go to Koushien .this isn't the summer tournament which decide it . so , I doubt they will win , author probably will save showoff of Seidou vs Inajitsu for summer , and well , with the way this game carry on , I really doubt there will be a comeback .

Eijun really did great though , he owned their batters so badly , he's on fire !!! he may hit something .Show them the results of your batting practice !!! and I like seeing Teitou's coach and boss reaction .Seriously , without Eijun , Furuya won't even go to Koushien !!! how many times now that he save Furuya's ass

I'm pretty sure it will go like this. Seido manages to get a run this inning (Sawamura's at bat inning). Sawamura manages to stop the batters not giving them runs. But because the lead difference is to big the batters fail to catch up and Seido loses. So we lose because Kataoka didn't put in Sawamura earlier. And then in the summer it's the revenge final against Inashiro.

Pitching was beastly but as much as I enjoyed it right now the next chapter seems even more interesting.

I don't know whatever the author is trolling us or not but so far, other than bunts and a fluke or two Sawamura never did anything at batting and yet here it's somewhat the last panel builds it up with him picking up the bat.

It shouldn't end with 3x woisho!! Right?

It would be incredible to see him actually do something at batting.

Truly if he were to do well at batting and then score some points and generally make the game turn around with Seidou at the top no one would ever be able to look down on him which I truly would want to see.

Even though he is really good and accomplished a lot everyone has been always been looking down on him and I really would want to see Sawamura slap them in the face in this game.

Then again, Amashita was build up to be OP for a long time so the only way this happens is if he looks down on Sawamura because if Sawamura actually win in full on out fight then it would be really strange.

True ace should have the ability to SAVE HIS TEAM, NOT DRAGGING HIS TEAM DOWN. This is a clear difference between sawamura and furuya. It`s clear who is truly the ace of seido. It would be a disappointment if after this game the coach still trust Furuya, I mean what`s the point of this chapter after showing this difference? It would be the author`s failure.

It would be nice for Sawamura to get a hit at his next at-bat. Can't see it being a homerun, but could be a grounder with a mistake in the fielders that get's him on base. Nothing too conspicuous.

I'm glad Sawamura is mad and is taking this EXTREMELY seriously
I really don't understand how the entire team just forgets how amazing Eijun's plays always are
He NEVER wavers despite the odds. Yes, he's very easily distracted but and gets excited and throws a ball.
But, he's by far the most consistent pitcher in Seido!

Love seeing him get the recognition that he deserves
Kataoka saying sorry was infuriating but I also loved the headpat 
He was SHOCKED with Eijun's strikeouts.

JUST LOVED THIS CHAPTER
