After Reading Today's Comments and Previous Ones, Let Me Clarify Something with Everyone!

I have a bit of a cold, so I'm just saying whatever comes to mind. I'll add more when I feel better. I actually thought about a lot of the suggestions when I was preparing to write the book, so I'll address them one by one.

First of all, regarding the school issue, many readers have already figured out that he will definitely go to Seidou.

Personally, I feel that the real protagonist and core of Ace of Diamond is Sawamura. No matter what kind of personality the people at Seidou have, they all like him, possibly stemming from a kind of admiration and a fondness for Sawamura's gentleness, just like his teammates in middle school who didn't play baseball or even participate in sports were willing to endure hardship and train with Sawamura. I can't quite articulate it.

How should I put it? I feel that without this lively guy, Ace of Diamond wouldn't be very interesting.

The passion and humor all come from Sawamura. In the manga, it's like Sawamura alone is carrying the entire Seidou team forward, at least spiritually he is the pillar.

Initially, I considered whether to go to Yakushi or Seidou, but in the end, I decided on Seidou. I feel that although Raichi's personality is very similar to Little Angel's, he lacks the spirit to lead the team in a positive direction.

Secondly, I also considered taking Little Angel out to Nagano to form a team and defeat Nagano's prestigious school to enter Koshien. Coach Nakanishi's character was originally set up to pave the way for this plot, with the ability to join the coaching staff in the Major League. However, on the one hand, the prestigious school coaches in Ace of Diamond are much more powerful than those in real-life Japan. On the other hand, what would happen to Seidou without Sawamura? They might lose miserably in the finals in the first year. In the first year, several innings were held up by Sawamura's big heart. Sawamura's subsequent pitching phobia wasn't about being afraid of hitting people, but rather that the hit-by-pitch became the reason for losing the game. At least, that's what Sawamura subconsciously thinks.

First, let's talk about the coaches. The former two, namely Big Windup! and Mitsuru Adachi's works, are just mimicking commands. Diamond no Ace is closer to the professional level, focusing on psychological warfare, with commanding and taking over the game at key moments as a supplement. The main thing is to let the players think for themselves, which is the way to cultivate professional players and win games. Therefore, this kind of team is much stronger than those that completely rely on the coach to constantly give signals or just watch from the sidelines like a Maitreya Buddha. The teams in Ace of Diamond are completely professionalized, and there is also a gap in intelligence warfare.

The high school篇 will mention that you can actually see a big difference by watching the anime. For example, in Seidou's first year, the practice match with Osaka Toin, and the practice match with Inajitsu the next day, Inajitsu didn't even know that Seidou had played a practice match with Toin. Also, in the practice match between Inajitsu and Shu Bei, Tanba was injured, but no one knew about Tanba's injury except for Inajitsu and Shu Bei. This shows that the confidentiality work was done very well, and there wouldn't be the situation in Adachi's works or Big Windup! where amateur teams can freely scout their opponents.

Then what was it again?

Oh right, the issue of the female lead. There is a female lead, and I am influenced by Adachi's works. The female lead is also a childhood sweetheart. The name and background are slightly adjusted from a female character in a currently updating anime. The rest is confidential.

The high school position is also confidential. Sendou's high school position may be changed, it's a bit like filling in wherever there's a need. The previous chapters introduced his talent.

To summarize, his reaction is faster, so he will be very strong at guarding the infield, but because he is left-handed, there will be some obstacles. The obstacles are also compared to himself.

His reaction is superior, so even if he switches to throwing with his right hand or uses his left hand to turn and pass, he won't be slower than others.

However, I won't let him guard positions that are not suitable for left-handers, such as second base, third base, and shortstop, which are all right-handed positions. The protagonist can receive and defend well, but he won't guard those positions.

Strong explosive power can be a pitcher or catcher, fast foot speed and good spatial awareness make the outfield equally invincible. However, as mentioned in previous chapters, the protagonist prioritizes batting, and this will run through the entire text, even though his batting technique is not very good. That's all for the position issue. His talent is a hexagon warrior, and a hexagon warrior that is completely beyond the standard. These support the protagonist's lifestyle and thinking.

Just like Matsuzaka Daisuke, he didn't practice in middle school, got beaten in high school, and then worked hard for a year to win the spring and summer championships. If his talent wasn't beyond the standard and he didn't work hard, he wouldn't be able to play at all.

Even Narumiya Mei and Raichi don't have the capital to slack off. Narumiya Mei, despite how powerful he seems, is strictly speaking less talented than Little Angel and Jiang Gu. Narumiya Mei, like Miyuki and the others, spent money to go to Little League to learn baseball for 4 to 6 years, then went to youth baseball in middle school, and then high school. He reached that height after so many years of professional training.

Finally, I suddenly remembered Sawamura's batting. I seem to have seen many times that the reason why Sawamura can hit the ball when he puts on a bunt stance is that Sawamura's swing speed is too fast. The reason for the fast swing speed is that Sawamura's whole body joints are flexible, causing his body to explode like a whip, so his swing is very fast, and the bunt is equivalent to indirectly lengthening his swing time.

I don't know what else to say. If you have any questions, discuss them here! If I see something I want to say, I'll add it to this chapter. There are too many advertisements in the comments.

My condition is really bad today. After writing these thousand words, my first feeling is that it's not smooth at all.

I'm going to sleep first, I can't hold on anymore, good night everyone!
