Oh and the Sawamura now, doesn't he remind us of Kataoka in his high school days too? "Diamond no Ace" ch.324 pg.10 - "the highlight of his career was the summer of his second year" and his coach then also had Kataoka to shoulder the ace number even when there are players better than him. So I am definitely positive that this time round, Sawamura will surely shine and truly gain the acknowledgement from his teammates! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Sawamura's current situation reminds me of what he had said many chapters ago - ch.44 pg.3 - if he pitched the way Furuya did that time when he self-destruct, Kataoka would have pulled him out in a flash. Seriously. Ffuu.. It's alright, we've waited hundreds of chapters all this time, we can wait a little longer to see him truly shine as an ace on that mound. Though I seriously hope it's really a LITTLE longer.

Yeah, and even though the spotlight is (still) on Furuya, tbh I really like the rivalry-friendship between Furuya and Sawamura. They influence each other in a really positive way and it feels like watching their rival in their best forms at the moment inspires them. So I'm guessing Sawamura will be less strained when it's finally his turn to take the mound ^^ Really look forward to him leading a good game!
