in any case Terajima with all his hunting better show sawamura and furuya in their third year
I’ve been curious how seidou will look after the current third years graduate
Here are my theories of eijun as a third year
He as ace will beat Narumiya and Inashiro in the summer tournament and become the biggest pitcher in the high school league in his third year
How will Seido survive without the current 3rd years who are basically the strength and support of the whole team - the majority of the 1st string is made of third years
The current second years on the first string will continue their spots in their third years -
Eijun will probably stay as the ace and considering his show of being able to unite and inspire the team he will probably be captain after miyuki
Furuya will continue being a pillar of the team as a pitcher alongside eijun
Like how miyuki and kuramochi’s friendship blossomed in their 3rd yr - we will probably see the same with eijun and furuya
Tho tbh eijun and furuya have showcased that they are quite close currently with furuya calling eijun by his first name
Terajima has been highlighting two current 2nd yrs who will probably shine in their third yr - kaneda (current 1st string relief pitcher) and Takatsu (who has been showing ability but not enough to be picked for the 1st string yet)
there have been 1st years highlighted this season tho we’ve barely seen their abilities
The 2 pitchers Asada (who rooms with eijun) and Kuki
Seto Tokuma joined the 1st string but we haven’t really seen him play yet
Mogami who so far has been comedic relief
The only 1st year abilities we have seen are yui, Yuki masashi, and okumura
Here’s hoping kaneda and the 1st yr pitchers are able to support the team as relief pitchers just like nori
Nori is really capable and has been the support pillar of the team
He has been the necessary support and relief for aces eijun and furuya and Seido needs that
Or do they?
Sawamura has proven his goal of ace is to play the whole game so maybe the team won’t need a relief pitcher as much as they did with the less capable and younger eijun and furuya
Obviously a huge pillar to the team is miyuki
And tho it’s clear yui and okumura will take up the absence in main catcher (with current 2nd year catcher kariba pulling up into ono’s supporting position nct yr prob)
Not sure anyone can replace the sheer ability and intelligence of miyuki for seidou
But clear that tho yui and okumura have comfortable batteries with all the pitchers
There will be clear (preferred) battery partnerships
Okumura + Eijun
Furuya + Yui
So they’re hinting that Tojo will probably become a key relief pitcher in his 3rd year?
And they’re hinting that current 1st yr kuki will be the second coming of eijun in his 2nd yr (as a uniting force with a solid slider but prob no one can copy eijun’s breaking balls yet)
Can someone tell me did Takatsu make the 1st string or is he still stuck in the 2nd string for his 2nd yr?
Also my theory is seidou always places a key player as their captain
So it’s almost certain eijun will be captain in his 3rd yr
With Haruichi and Kanemaru becoming his vice captains since those 2 from early on have been his emotional/mental supports
Its pretty clear that Takatsu and oka (who are stuck on the 2nd string currently) will prob move up to the 1st string in their 3rd yr
And I’m curious but idt eijun will face conflict in becoming captain (unlike miyuki did)
Lol this is just becoming my diamond no ace thread
Okay so miyuki said eijun has up to numbers 7 under control but how is it that we haven’t even seen number 3 and 6? Also what about in between number 7 and 11? What are numbers 8-10? When will we see these? Will miyuki and sawamura complete these numbers before miyuki graduates?
Also does eijun have pitches above number 11? Legit eijun May become a pitching god if he’s able to do more than 11 types of breaking balls??
Lol is furuya really the sasuke to sawamura’s naruto
it just sends that Kanemaru is surprised that Takatsu says anything supportive to eijun
Lol Kanemaru just wants to be friends with Takatsu
lol Takatsu seems to only like and respect one 2nd year on the 1st string and that is eijun
Yo eijun better beat Hongo and Komadai
Literally would be the best story for them all
A chance for Hongō to face his (personality) faults
A win for our fav Seido third years at Koshien
A friggin win for eijun as ace which would essentially make him legendary
wait is eijun going to end up playing the next game as a relief pitcher? Because Chris sempai is finally watching and furuya still isn’t the best condition
Sawamura vs amahisa hasn’t even happened yet and I can’t wait to see it

It needs to happen soon!!
Also I have a lot of respect to the diamond no ace series because they don’t have any fillers and willingly waited for the manga to get far enough so they could start releasing the anime (tho they’re pretty close to where is the manga currently is)
okay so new chapter 204 . . .
is ominously hinting that sawamura will sub furuya in the game just so their sempais (CHRIS SEMPAI) can see eijun's pitching as ace?!
wow the ominous hinting that sawamura may need to relief for furuya for this game
they really making us feel uneasy about furuya's tendency to be fragile on base
honestly is makes sense that sawamura is ace and not furuya
furuya's goal is to be an amazing pitcher with his power and ability
but the pressure of supporting the team is too much for him to handle since thinking about a lot gets him to frazzled
that being said not sure how sawamura will get to play if they have kawakami (and sometimes kaneda) on stand by for relief
are they insinuating that the situation on field will get so dire that coach kataoka will see it necessary that the only way to stop momentum and save the game is to send their ace (SAWAMURA)?!?!?!?!?!?!
AWWWW SHITT
lol im writing reactions while reading the chapter
but man it's turning exactly like i thought
they hit his first pitch of the whole game and now furuya will (most likely) get too tense
i'm excited to see the sempais watch sawamura in all his glory
but hopefully if sawamura relief pitches for this game that it won't effect sawamura's ability to battle amahisa in the next round
and also i hope that this whole situation won't negatively affect furuya
seidou needs all three of their main pitchers in top shape if they want to win the national championship
and we all want them to win and start seidou's golden age!
side note - it's so clear that amahisa really enjoys the friendship of baseball when he tried to reach out to sanada after sankou beat yakushi
my favorite chapter so far is chapter 188
when the whole seidou team finds out sawamura and amahisa are friends talking on LINE
idt any of the readers realized that the team at seidou had no idea of their blooming friendship
but in fact it makes sense lol
at the time when amahisa basically forces sawamura to give his contact info after seidou's loss to sankou in the spring tournament
the rest of the 1st string had already ascended to find seats to watch the inashiro vs teito match
so in actuality the only ones to realize the contact info exchange were okumura and seto (1st yrs from seidou) and a few sankou teammates who were hanging with amahisa (not sure who they were tho so who knows how many sankou members know)
and the best part is when nabe publicly announces amahisa and sawamura's friendship in front of the whole 1st string and okumura is looking so sly on the side like "you deserve all the criticism how could you be in contact with a rival school"
and then it takes forever for sawamura to realize that it was okumura that let nabe know that he was talking to amahisa lollllll
Look okumura just passing judgement towards sawamura’s friendship with amahisa
back to chapter 204
it was mighty ballsy for coach kataoka to put furuya as the starting pitcher for their quarter final match
but i guess it makes sense - he wants his ace to prepare for the bigger, more difficult teams (ichidai and inashiro)
also i love that eijun is finally hinting at his other pitches in chapter 203
we basically hadn't heard any info on the rest of his numbers/pitches since they were created during the winter off-season
so if eijun has "nasty" sliders and curveballs in his repertoire and he can master them to use them in the ichidai and inashiro matches i mean he'll have a full arsenal to take down hongo and komadai
also in chapter 202 when eijun is able to watch the ichidai and inashiro quarterfinal matches and come up with a plan on how he can fight the ichidai batters when he's on the mound
thats just such ace material! he's grown so much!
i guess terajima is hinting that if narumiya was able to add a "slutter" type of pitch to repertoire with ease
that eijun with his natural breaking balls can also get one to
meaning eijun and amahisa's match is going to be LIT
Lol is okumura low-key jealous of eijun and Chris’s friendship
This whole team clowning eijun for his friendship with amahisa
They’re keeping tabs on his LINE messages aren’t they
wait no wonder seidou is so shocked at eijun and amahisa's friendship
not only is amahisa the reason they lost the spring tournament
but none of the batters except for eijun (basically) could hit off of him
i think diamond no ace needs to take a page from the kuroko no basuke / prince of tennis playbook and just a have a special where all the special players from act ii get a chance to play each other again and again (before they ever "graduate")
idt terajima would but
Yes friggin ace material eijun!
Yes Terajima get us excited for the Ichidai vs seidou match!
watching old episodes and just seeing sawamura eijun’s growth
He went from having basically no breaking ball to having a full arsenal of ones that he has numbered 😭
https://twitter.com/afridaylight/status/1237768491199074308?s=20
or terajima can take a page from the haikyu playbook and have some of the special characters meet up and play in new team lineups in the college pro division/japan major league
like seeing a miyuki and narumiya battery?

following up on this theory
tetsu, miyuki, and eijun all have the same eye color
so i'm pretty sure eijun will be the next captain of seidou https://twitter.com/afridaylight/status/1236399505039405056?s=20

wait chapter 205 is delayed till next week? please say no!!! http://TT.TT 
wait online ppl informing that the end of season 1 of act ii in the anime will probably come soon (since it's really close to where the manga is at the moment) and idt i can handle not having new anime content to watch
like waiting 2-3 years i'm just going to #cry
Eijun is such ace material 😭😭😭😭
look at him leading his team from the friggin dugout
But on a side note I’m really hoping for sawamura to switched in during the sousei game
Like I know there are other relievers but it’s obvious sousei is good at batting and the one to hold them down is eijun’s breaking balls obviously
Let Chris sempai watch ace eijun pitchhhhh
wow a disc on miyuki as a catcher
i have never really thought that miyuki was a bad catcher - highly due to the series continually stating he's one of the best catchers in the high school circuit
but even so i still think you can't discount his ability https://www.reddit.com/r/AceOfTheDiamond/comments/fk509m/miyuki/
lol i am a high amount of shook that diamond no ace is super popular in japan
and i love reading in the reddit discussions that other fans of this manga/anime are shook too
haha who knew ppl would be interested in a sports anime that doesn't have players with superpowers
for those fans wishing for eijun to get injured - like whyyyy
you want to get in his rise to becoming the best ace ever TT
tbh i doubt eijun would get injured since he's been noted to be quite flexible and he puts a lot of effort into taking care of his condition (never overworks himself for the sake of the team a for a chance to pitch)
honestly eijun has already struggled the majority of the series
from legit inexperience in real baseball, the yips, etc
i mean how can you wish for him to suffer again when he's finally where he's supposed to be
plus not many huge "aces" in this series have gotten injured
narumiya mei, amahisa, and hongou haven't been injured this whole time
let eijun play them TT

yo wait if the recent episode is so close to where the manga currently is

man i hope the season doesn't end TT
maybe they'll do what some animes have done when close to where the manga is
the author actually lets the anime studio know their future plans for the story and the anime just creates based on it

but considering that daiya no ace anime is 99% canon i doubt-

new chapter (206)
i think it's interesting how slow terajima is building up the seidou vs sousei match
in comparison to the how fast terajima went through the norikane match
terajima is making it clear that this will be a difficult match for seidou . . . .
soooo - eijun better end up relief pitching in this match so all his sempais can watch his growth
he's the embodiment of hope let him play and save his teammmmmm
Best comeback ever fight me
