The Spiders are playing the Osaka Tempters. Bonda Natsunosuke is brought in but he has to pitch to a right-handed batter. The batter failed and was ruled out and later demoted to the Minor Leagues. Bonda considers it a statement on his own lack of worth. Tokunaga invites Bonda out for a drink. He is worried about his ratings and tries to get Bonda to tell him who will be the starter in The Spiders' next game. At the day of the game he is very relieved that Bonda is the starter because he knows everything about him.
