Major — Season 2

Goro moves back to Mifune. Komori is glad to have the chance to play baseball with him again, only for Goro to reveal he now plays soccer.

The delinquents have left the baseball team, but none of the former members return. Goro's words inspire Komori and Obayashi to recruit new members.

Goro's story inspires the delinquents to get serious about baseball again. Goro goes to see the reborn Mifune East Junior High baseball team play.

Goro joins the baseball team. To gear up for the summer tournament, he seeks a game against Tomonoura Junior High, where he meets his old pal Toshiya.

Mifune East falls behind in round one of the tournament because Goro shows up late, but his off-speed pitches gets hitters out in fine fashion.

Mifune East faces Seibukan in round two. Goro has a perfect game going through 4 2/3 innings, enthralling a high school scout in the crowd.

Toshiya, Tomonoura's captain, proposes a bet to Goro that raises the stakes for their teams' showdown, but Goro gets goaded into a rash of mistakes.

Goro and Yamane hit back-to-back home runs, rattling Toshiya. Seeing his teammates band together, Toshiya realizes he'd forgotten the joy of baseball.

Toshiya takes the mound and freezes Miyamoto with his fastball. After encouragement from Goro, Miyamoto swings the bat, with unexpected results.

Goro is set on getting into Kaido High's baseball club with Toshiya after their junior high affiliate crushes him. The Mifune East boys hit the beach.

Goro, Toshiya and Komori all pass the first two stages of Kaido High's harsh skills test, but Toshiya and Komori are then pitted against each other.

The skills test ends with a five-on-five tournament. Goro is happy to be on Toshiya's team, but is looked down upon for coming from an obscure school.

Goro and Toshiya pass the skills test and must now take an academic exam. But Goro isn't used to studying, and he ends up being late to the exam.

Goro and Toshiya get into Kaido High and proudly join the baseball club. They go to a school facility on a small island for six months hard training.

After three months at the training facility, Goro has grown strong. The coaches announce an aptitude test to determine the players' positions.

In a final exam to decide who will leave the island to join the second team, Goro is as free-spirited as ever. Onuki, who had quit the team, shows up.

Coach Suo declares Goro will pass the test only if he can retire the opposing lineup in order, but Goro has come further than anyone imagined.

The first-year scholarship team intentionally spots the Dream Island team a three-run lead. The insult fills Goro's team with renewed determination.

Goro takes the mound, the team's expectations on his back, and gets back-to-back K's. As the Dream Island team is battling back, Mayumura shows up.

Toshiya hangs in against Akutsu by fouling off his knuckle balls. Shizuka kicks Akutsu off the team for focusing only on his competitive pride.

Down by one with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, Kokubu hits a home run to tie the game. With a walk-off win on the line, Mayumura takes the mound.

Shizuka advises Goro to quit the team based on an incident from her past. When he learns what happened, he takes his appeal straight to the top.

Chief Manager Egashira plots to make Goro into a Koshien star as a prop to boost Kaido's image. When Goro is told, his reaction stuns everyone.

In Goro's second year at Kaido, Momoko gives birth to a girl. With his send-off game against the first team at hand, Goro tells Shigeno his decision.

In his send-off game, Goro is perfect through 6 innings, but starts losing speed on his fastball. In the 7th, he gives up a hit and gets into trouble.

Toshiya's home run ties the game, but in the 8th, the scholarship players refuse to take the field on defense, and the game takes an unexpected turn.
