Yes, back in canon! This episode was nostalgic, as we see the characters that have a great impact on Goro's baseball life. Felt the nostalgic vibes seeing them once more, that it truly remind myself that this is the "Major series" that I know. The tone was sentimental, as each of them had their own goals to achieve. The visuals were somber as we go back in time, particularly that rooftop baseball field.
