Furuya had been growing since day 1, this is his first roadblock and he is on his way to overcome it, he didnt strained when runner on the base anymore and his pitch is on the usual speed. I dont think there is any tension bout furuya growth, its different story with sawamura cuz sawamura had history with inashiro not only that since he came to seidou, his life basically roadblock after roadblock and now he harvesting all the seed he plant in the beginning, all the basic, patient, tenacitybthat he learn, hence why dna reader always hype up when sawamura showed his growth
Furuya will be the starting pitcher most probably, as Kataoka coach will try to rest Sawamura. Sawamura might play close the match. Kawakami playing or not depends on the test results- how bad his injury is.
Actually furuya hit a slump after senbatsu and Narumiya said that Furuya lost his ace number because he wasn't able to overcome the wall. However, I think Furuya will so more potential and growth in this final match that will leave the Inashiro bench in awe, probs. All prayers. And he will pass the baton to Sawamura. Sawamura better prove himself as the best unparalleled ace of Seido and shut them up.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Thank goodness the match of inashiro vs other school ended so early, or its gonna take forever for it to end.
And i don't think sawamura will start the game with inashiro, maybe they start with furuya then kawakami, i meant mangaka love furuya, and he haven't show any growth in furuya, match with inashiro will probably be the time for it.
