Personalities collide after the team’s manager sends Souichirou and Haruka to scout out the competition.

Haruka scouts out Meisei’s next rival: Sankou High School. Meanwhile, Akai comes to an important realization.

It’s the bottom of the eighth, and Meisei is down by one. Will their dream of reaching Koshien once again be crushed in the first round of the East Tokyo Tournament?

Touma puts the first run on the board for Meisei, but Kenjo’s star slugger Akai doesn’t intend to let it go unanswered.

Meisei prepares for their game against Kenjo, but will Haruka's observations be enough to help the Tachibana brothers lead their team to victory?

For info on the history of the Meisei High School Baseball Club, Ramen Dragon is the place to be. Sou and Otomi’s ties to the team go back farther than they knew.

Punch is feeling under the weather. Ooyama learns where Tou picked up his pitching skills. The history of the Tachibana family and Meisei’s number 1 jersey is revealed.

All the boys love Otomi. Touma gets a letter from Haruka, inviting him on “a walk.” They travel for hours to solve a riddle, then get stuck in the middle of nowhere. While everyone else waits at the Tachibana residence, Ooyama reveals that Haruka and Touma met when they were three, and she threw soda in his face.

30 years ago, Meisei High School's baseball team won the much sought after Koshien Tournament, but haven’t come close since. As the new school year at Meisei Junior High School begins, brothers Touma and Souichirou Tachibana start practicing in secret.

Misono and Tetsu go to save Lawless and Licht while Mahiru wanders within Kuro's mind to find a way to save him. Misono realizes how little they know of Tsubaki's intentions and Mahiru realizes just how much resolve it takes to face Kuro head-on.

Kuro has been trapped away in a ball and the others will have to try and rescue Licht and Lawless before midnight without them. As they plan, Mahiru and Kuro head to the shop of a certain antique dealer, to find a way to get Kuro free.

Kuro continues to act strangely ever since Lawless brought up the past. Mahiru steps gingerly around Kuro, unsure whether to ask about his past or not. All the while, Tsubaki moves to take revenge on Lawless and his Eve, Licht.

Mahiru meets with another suspicious character, a visiting pianist from Austria. He comes to find that the pianist, Licht, is actually the Eve of Greed, Lawless. However, Lawless isn't as friendly as the other siblings Mahiru has met so far.

Mahiru continues to meet new people one after another. Next, he meets a strange boy carrying a coffin at the summer festival as he tries to turn in a lost suitcase given to him by a stranger. People start to take action, each with their own reasons.

Mahiru nearly gets consumed by the power that he had asked for, but a stranger with the servamp of Envy comes to save them in the nick of time. Mahiru realizes that just having power doesn't solve anything and struggles to figure out what to do next.

Mahiru finds out that his best friend, Sakuya, is actually one of Tsubaki's subclass. Why did he get close to Mahiru in the first place? Is Sakuya truly Mahiru's friend or is that another one of the lies that Sakuya hates so much?

Mahiru's pet Kuro turns out to be a servant vampire, or servamp. Mahiru rushes back to school to find out what happened, but his friends do not remember. All Mahiru knows is that a person named Tsubaki is after Kuro...

The final battle is here and Mahiru struggles to get to Kuro as he steps forward and tries to face it all. Kuro faces his past, his neglected little brother Tsubaki, and his own actions which may have led to who Tsubaki is now.

Licht and Lawless fight against Higan while Hugh lets his guard down due to the prideful idea that subclass could never be a match against him. Misono panics. Mahiru and Kuro arrive on the scene to help, but perhaps a bit too late.

Licht breaks through the wall to give Lawless a piece of his mind, face-to-face. Licht gets swallowed up by the darkness and the curtain rises on Lawless' past. What is it be unique? How can one become the one and only?
