• A.K.A.-47: The pitch they keep calling a sinker is non a sinker; the pitchers throw it with either a screwball or vulcan changeup grip. A true sinker is a 2-seam fastball that is thrown with the full weight and spin on the summit of the brawl, making it driblet sharply to the arm-side of the bullpen despite the high speed of the pitch. What the evidence calls a sinker is actually another type of breaking ball.

Currently, they are still estranged, simply Ryousuke shows that he still cares and looks out for Haruichi, just not as openly as before.
• Big Blood brother Worship: Haruichi really admired Ryousuke since they were little kids. In fact, information technology'due south his worship of him that makes him decide to use wooden bats, in gild to grab up to Ryousuke, and accept Ryousuke acknowledge him.

  • Tetsu, oh my god.

  (as everybody is getting prepare to victory-toss the passenger vehicle) Tetsu: *Battle Aureola* "What's the Guinness World Record?"

• Confusion Fu: Sawamura's specialty. His pitches lack the speed and control of most of the other pitchers, but because of his unique pitching style, the trajectory of his pitches shift, fifty-fifty if he uses the aforementioned pitch over and over. And the shift can be subtle or wild, depending on how hard he pitches. Thanks to the lower speed of his pitches, he'south easier to get hits off of than, say, Furuya, but because information technology's completely impossible to predict the ball's trajectory shifts, it'southward damn nigh impossible to become a decisive hit off of him. This makes him harder to score off of than the other pitchers, despite them being harder to hit off of.

• Confront Palm: A collective 1 when Sawamura is on the mound.
• Fallen Hero: It has been seven years since Seidou went to Koshien.

  Furuya: I've always idea nearly this, but... Miyuki-senpai, your personality is really nasty.

  Miyuki: Haha. Well said!

• Fragile Speedster:
  • Furuya, who has the fastest fastball of all of Seidou's pitchers, has weak nails and poor stamina, even worse in Summer, as he hails from Hokkaido.
  • Kuramochi is the fastest runner in the Seidou team, simply his batting power is nothing to write home well-nigh.
  • Haruichi is an accommodating amazing baseball histrion, being able to pick where and how far he hits a ball at bat, can jump up and take hold of a brawl and throw it while still in air, and has incredible speed, all in all, his skills surpass his first-string, tertiary yr, older brother, Ryousuke; only like Furuya, he lacks in stamina.
• Friendless Groundwork: In a flashback information technology is seen how no ane wanted to play with Furuya due to his pitches beingness insanely potent.
  • Miyuki didn't spend his childhood exactly surrounded by friends, either.
• Friendly Rivalry: Sawamura and Furuya spend big deal of time fighting each other for a place at the mound, for a sit adjacent to Miyuki, or even for a tire.
• The Gadfly: Miyuki loves to mess with people. Just because he can and it amuses him.
• Game-Breaking Injury: Chris'south shoulder, which he's trying to rehab. Also his quondam teammate from eye schoolhouse Zaizen suffered a leg injury.
  • Correct when Tanba solidifies his spot equally The Ace, he gets striking in the jaw from a wild pitch during a game, the game was called as a consequence from the injury and he was out for several months with a fractured jaw. Equally a result from the injury and recovery process, Tanba was benched for the kickoff few games of the summer tournament.
  • Miyuki was tackled by a player of Seikou during the Fall Tournament semifinals, just continued to play during the finals regardless. He was forced to sit out during the Meiji Jingu tournament, lest that he could go far worse.
  • Furuya was on the border of suffering a back injury during Deed Ii, due to his incorrect pitching course. Thankfully the residue of the team caught on before it happened.
  • The above ended up existence a foreshadow for Kawakami, who'southward been benched for the Summer Tournament vs Ichidaisan while waiting for the MRI results on his injury.
• Glasses Are Sexy: The female person reporter from Baseball Kingdom admits to having a glasses fetish. She gushes over Miyuki, and acquires a Luminescent Blush when she observes the bespectacled pitcher from Akikawa Academy.
• Goggles Do Null: Averted with Miyuki, as Word of God states he uses contact lenses during the games and the goggles to avoid dust.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Mei, especially when people get hits off him in the eighth inning of the Seidou-Inashiro game, Seidou managed to score iii runs, Mei was able to stay at-home on the mound and finish his pitching session of the inning, just as soon as Inashiro was in the dugout, he went into the back expanse and threw a tantrum. His teammates ofttimes worry if his frustration and acrimony will event his playing.

• The Eye: Tetsu'south role as the team captain.
  • Sawamura eventually grows into this by Act Two.
• Hero-Worshipper: Sawamura to Chris.
  • Furuya went to Seidou because he read an article virtually Miyuki.

  • Sawamura also suffers this during the Seidou vs Yakushi practice game, Raichi hit a homerun off him after Sawamura vowed non to let Kataoka down, he manages to stay calm, simply is mentally crushed and is then relieved by Kawakami when he allows two more runners on base of operations. Kawakami also suffers from this in the same game while on the mound, due to the memory of Raichi's homerun scored off of Sawamura replaying listen, affecting his usual control.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: Sawamura and Chris.
  • Tetsu and Isashiki.
• Hoist past His Own Petard: Zaizen. He sends his teammates out to deliberately exacerbate Chris' shoulder injury, before coming out himself to finish the job. But Sawamura, incensed by his inability to help Chris, ends upwards using his confusing pitches to exacerbate Zaizen's injury instead.
• I Can Still Fight!: Miyuki decides to hide his injury from the team and play against Yakushi. Even afterwards they realize he asks the coach to let him keep playing.
  • Similarly with Ryousuke in the Seido-Inashiro game, every bit he had injured his leg in the previous game and his continuing to go all out has worsened it. The just one who knows of it initially is Kuramochi, who allows Ryousuke to still play, and Ryousuke never outright tells anyone of the injury. Kataoka eventually catches on and compliments Ryousuke for his toughness, but pulls him out of the game and subs in Haruichi.
  • Kawakami tries to appeal for this for the upcoming lucifer against Ichidaisan. Kataoka didn't budge.
• Hot-Blooded: Sawamura, even past manga and anime standards.
  • Isashiki, definitely.
• Idiot Hero: Sawamura. Along with the Hot-Blooded trope above, this is what largely causes virtually everyone to write him off thinking that he'due south merely another baseball star wannabe. Furuya too isn't besides vivid, just he'south a lot quieter almost information technology.
• Of import Haircut: Tanba, the Ace of Seidou as penalisation for failing the challenge imposed by his teammates. Though he didn't neglect, he was injured by a dead ball before he could properly attempt challenge.
• Incompletely Trained: At first Sawamura didn't even know how to grip the brawl properly.

  Sawamura: "Four-seam? Is that a foreign rapper."

• Irony: Sawamura initially wanted to class a battery with Miyuki upon arriving at Seidou, and he was borderline furious that he was to form a battery with Chris, however, later bonding with Chris, Sawamura wants to continue the bombardment with Chris alive and is actually upset that he has to partner up with the person he originally wanted to be his catcher; he slowly comes to accept Miyuki, notwithstanding, merely still desires to be in a bombardment with Chris.
  • It takes him a while but he starts remembering more ofttimes that he really only came to Seidou considering Miyuki left such a big impression.
• It's Personal: The Autumn Tournament gets even more dramatic when the team learns of Kataoka leaving if they don't brand it to Koushien.

• The Leader: Tetsu. So Miyuki.
• Losing the Team Spirit: After the third years retire. Fortunately, their farewell game manages to renew their spirit for the Fall Tournament.
• Loads and Loads of Characters: Justified, as a baseball team is commonly formed by twenty members, just from the first string.
• Luminescent Chroma: Haruichi is highly decumbent to this.
• Manly Tears: Sawamura as well equally other members of the team.
  • Also when a Team is defeated in a tournament.
  • Kataoka at the end of the Fall Tournament, as he cheers the retired third years for their continued support of their juniors in the team.
• My God, What Accept I Done?: Sawamura gets this reaction later on finding out nearly Chris' Game-Breaking Injury after he insulted him.
• My Greatest Failure: Mei views his wild pitch from the previous yr's Koshien, which resulted in Inashiro being eliminated, as this; it's so bad that information technology haunts him, keeping him up at night and unable to get proper sleep, and he wants nothing more than to go back to Koshien and redeem himself. He gets the take chances to after Inashiro beats Seido, but Inashiro once more gets eliminated.
• The Napoleon: The Kominato brothers are the shortest two players on the team, Haruichi being marginally taller than Ryousuke, both are below average tiptop for boys their age and they are 164cm or roughly five'4 (Haruichi) and 162cm or 5'3 (Ryousuke) in comparing to the residue of their team who are in the 170+ centimeter range.
  • The captain of Seikou, Shinichirou Masu, is extremely short at 166cm compared to the other players, simply that doesn't deter him in the least.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: Sawamura seems to learn a new pitch ball before every important game. It doesn't always piece of work, though.
• The Nicknamer: Sawamura comes up with a nickname for many members of the team; such every bit:
  • Haruichi - "Harucchi", Ryousuke - "Nii-san", Jun - "Spitz-sempai" and "Bristles-sempai", Tetsu - "Leader", Kataoka - "Coach Shades" and "Boss".
• No Indoor Voice: Sawamura is a very loud kid.

  Miyuki: We'll go with Kawakami and Noisymura~

  • Isashiki cannot tone information technology down, either.

  Isashiki: Who are yous calling, Spitz-sempai?!

• Opposing Gainsay Philosophies: More than like Opposing Training Philosophies. While both Kataoka and Ochiai are good and constructive coaches, their methods differ greatly: Kataoka strives to brand the team grow as a whole, in both practices and with each game, while Ochiai wants to build upwardly an ace bullpen the squad can revolve around, and is perfectly willing to sacrifice victories in important matches or fifty-fifty other players to exercise and so.
• Passing the Torch: With the third years graduating, a lot of first and 2d years took over the empty positions, the well-nigh prominent beingness Haruichi taking his brother's position, number, and batting spot before moving into the clean-upward batters.
  • Tanba'due south ace number is passed to Furuya.
  • Leadership is passed from Tetsu to Miyuki along with his position as clean-up batter.
• Perpetual Smiler: Ryousuke.
• Pintsized Powerhouse: The Kominato brothers.
  • Raichi Todoroki is probably the all-time example. His father trained him from an early age with a heavy bat to build up his force.

  Miyuki: We're not the Kings. We're the Challengers.

• Put on a Coach: The third years after the summer tournament, justified as they are graduating.
  • The Bus Came Back: Most of the retired tertiary years are seen during the new team preparation and matches.
• Reaction Shot: More oftentimes than not.
• Real Men Cook: It is stated in the Official Guide Book that Miyuki can cook. Information technology is after confirmed in the anime he learnt to cook at an early historic period because of reasons.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: In the anime, Seidou and their opposing team are depicted with red or blue coloring, it's used to show both state of mind of the individual showcased players and the squad's personalities in comparing to the other.
  • It was best shown during Raichi's 2nd at-bat against Eijun; Eijun was blue and Raichi was red, Eijun was calm, collected, and focused on doing well for his jitney and squad while Raichi was eager and focused on hitting the ball considering he wanted the claiming rather than doing it for the team.
• Rousing Speech: Kataoka is a chief of this.
• Running Gag: Despite Sawamura being awful at batting, he is amazingly good with bunts. He even gives tips to his teammates. And no, they're not exactly thrilled well-nigh information technology either.

  Sawamura: Where are you lot bunting the ball?? You have to be like this and hitting it right on the line!!

  Kuramochi: Shut up! Hearing this from you really pisses me off!

  • Furuya has an astonishing ability to fall asleep anywhere.
  • In the Leap Tournament, Miyuki's disability to bat without runners in base.
• Say My Proper noun

  "MIYUKI KAZUYAAA!", anyone?

• Scary Shiny Glasses: Miyuki. Rei too has her moments.
• 2d Identify Is for Losers: There's no glory for those who stay at Koshien'due south gates.
• Sempai Kouhai: Miyuki doesn't seem to give a rat'southward ass about seniority when he's giving advice or calling a game (though he would complain occasionally when Eijun shows alot of respect to the residual of his seniors except him). This seems to tick a off-white number of people off; Tanba merely seems irritated by it, but a few of Miyuki'southward seniors in junior loftier were planning to beat him up over it. Only Chris is an exception.
• Serious Business: Teenagers with an merely concern- baseball game.
• She'due south Non My Girlfriend: Sawamura says this word for word whenever Wakana is mentioned.
• Shout-Out: In episode 45, Narumiya laughs going "Upupupu" and talks about instilling despair into Sakurazawa, conspicuously he is a fan of Monobear
  • Raichi's "Kahahaha" likewise qualifies every bit this.
  • Whenever it's Yuki's turn at bat, Seido's band, other non-first cord players, and crowd members in support of them volition sing "Lupin the Fire" by SEAMO.
  • To get his pitching rolling, Ogawa Tsunematsu sings the theme of Anpanman.
  • Maki Yousuke of Sensen has "A Cruel Affections'southward Thesis" as his walk upwards song.
• Shrinking Violet: Haruichi is the shyest and least outgoing member on the team off the field, and surprisingly, Tanba was this during his first year.
  • Raichi besides. Some of his classmates were shocked to see him on the field being so loud and pumped up, wondering if information technology was actually him.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Ryousuke and Haruichi; Haruichi is the shy, sweet, kind, and mellow younger brother in comparison to Ryousuke who is borderline sadistic, violent, and condescending at times; they also seem to have a Cerise Oni, Blueish Oni kind of bond.
• Spoiler Opening: There are a couple, merely "Last Victory" is probably the most jarring instance.
  • The offset opening (Go Exceed) shows Sawamura wearing the #xx jersey, which makes his getting into the showtime string a foregone determination.
  • The third opening (Hashire Mirai) is first used during the Seido vs. Inashiro game. Information technology features some clever foreshadowing, merely also the fact that Yakushi appears at all, after having been defeated by Seido in the preliminaries, makes it pretty obvious that the protagonists won't exist playing at Nationals.
  • The sixth ending (Terminal Victory) starts later on the Inashiro game. Furuya is clearly wearing the ace number, which makes Sawamura'southward function in the recent loss and his mounting mental bug that much more than painful.
• Southpaw Advantage: The series has many lefties amidst its ranks. Protagonist Sawamura Eijun and major antagonist Narumiya Mei are the two most of import examples. However, oddly, at that place'southward no real advantage to existence a Southpaw in-series aside from the standard "slight advantage confronting left-handed batters"; of the strongest pitchers, fully one-half are right-handed, including the Ace of the dorsum-to-back National Champion Komadai Fujimaki High, Hongou Masamune.
• Stealth Mentor: Chris.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Haruichi looks similar a younger Ryousuke, simply with bangs. Both boys also resemble their female parent, Ryousuke looking nigh like a male carbon copy.
• Supporting Leader: Tetsu.
• Taught by Experience: Sawamura has no formal baseball game preparation. Whatsoever. In fact, he hardly knows some of the basics of the game, merely this lack of instruction actually helped him to develop a unique pitching style.
• Tears of Joy: Sawamura.
• Teen Genius: Narumiya.
• Those Two Guys: It's easy to forget that Kadota and Shirasu are in the starting lineup; especially since Kadota oftentimes gets pulled out of games one time Furuya is done his end of the pitching cycle. Eijun fifty-fifty lampshades this with Shirasu when he compliments him for his operation at bat early on in the series and has to inquire for his proper name.
  • The other members of the first cord that don't regularly play.
  • Literally everyone outside the showtime cord from Seido are easy to forget, particularly since there are so many; the only really memorable member in the stand is Kanemaru and he gets upgraded to first string after the summer tournament.
• Took a Level in Jerkass:
  • Furuya when he was given the ace number. At some point, he believes that his teammates need him more.
  • Haruichi starts acting a lot more similar his blood brother Ryosuke during the second year.
• Tournament Arc: Every team dreams with reaching Koushien. They take to win every match in the Preliminaries to go in that location.
• Under Dogs Never Lose: Except when they practise.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Miyuki and Kuramochi.
  • Sawamura and Okumura, in Human action ii. The vitriol comes from their polar opposite personalities and how Okumura hates virtually of Sawamura's traits. The best buds part comes from their almost-identical passion for baseball itself.
• Worthy Opponent: Sawamura is getting there.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Kuramochi sure does know how to apply a good Boston Crab, along with other submissions and techniques. Word of God says he learned how to wrestle when he was younger and used to do it before baseball.
• Years As well Early on: Miyuki to Sawamura during a practise game against some third years.

  Sawamura: And here I thought I'd able to play against you.
  Miyuki: Haha. Yous're nevertheless a hundred years too early.

  • Okumura in Human activity 2.

  Okumura: As frustrating as it is, they way I am now, I can't reach it...the place where they are...damn...information technology'due south and then vexing that I'm simply a first year...

• You Are in Command Now: Tetsu to Miyuki after the 3rd years retire.
