Goro shows off he is one of the best at soccer and Sawamura offers him any position he wants as a regular, but Goro turns the offer down saying he's still only serious about one thing. When Komori finally recruits some members he goes to the locker room to learn it has been vandalized. With witnesses having seen Yumane doing it Goro goes to confront them and learn Yamane has hated baseball since he ruined his shoulder. Goro says that hating something is no excuse, and if he really loved the game he would just change hands. The episode ends with Goro throwing a soft baseball with his left hand and stunning everyone on the roof.
