i also think its just a plot element to get sawamura think beyond being the ace of seido (although he still needs to prove that he is the true ace coz... cmon, seido cant even tell him genuinely that he did great as if they're waiting for furuya to get the ace number back) i just hope that convo wont fuck up his game in the finals

Eijun is indeed the true ace, but since he just recently got the ace number and didn't do well in his first game as the ace, some members still is unsure of him but just like Zono said, they just have to score lots so Eijun can relax a bit more. He proved his worth as the true ace during his performance against Sankou.
Ch 255 is out. Who will start pitcher in first inning? I am curious! Sawamura was shocked in last panel. Maybe I feel that Miyuki wants Furuya against him because he asked him. I don’t like what he do it to my baby! I hate you, author.
