Summary

This is Volume 23 of the Taiwanese edition of Ace of Diamond (Part 1). After the summer tournament (Jingu), the Seido High School baseball club is defeated in the final, and the players regroup amid their disappointment: as the trusted third-year seniors retire, new opportunities fall to the first- and second-year players, and the "new" Seido baseball club officially gets underway. Meanwhile, the regional qualifiers reach a fever pitch: Meikawa Academy's pitcher calmly suppresses Seido's lineup, and Seido not only concedes first but also falls into the opponent's carefully designed winning formula, while the scorching heat drains the stamina of starting pitcher Ryo Furuya bit by bit. Furuya grits his teeth wanting to pitch the whole game but is ultimately forced to leave the mound, replaced by Eijun Sawamura; whether this relief pitching change can turn the game around becomes the core suspense of this volume. The work takes youth baseball as its subject, depicting a group of high school students' growth and bonds as they contend repeatedly between advancing and being eliminated.

Editor's review

这一册是《钻石王牌》第一部中剧情转折的重要一段:上部高中棒球赛以失败收尾,把「告别三年级学长」的落寞和「新生青道」的锐气放在同一册里,作者寺嶋裕二在处理球队整体情绪变化上相当老练。明川学园一战的投手调度(降谷体力耗尽、泽村临危受命中继)也是全系列中常被读者提起的名场面之一,能直观看到两位投手技术特点与心理状态的差异。东立方郁仁译本译文流畅,保留了大量棒球术语,人物台词的性格区分也很清楚,适合已经追过前二十余册的老读者补进度,也适合想了解少年运动漫「败战—重建」叙事的读者。

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读完第22册,了解夏日大会决赛的结果,再看本册开篇的情绪落点
  2. 阅读时留意降谷与泽村登板顺序背后的教练意图,这是本册的戏剧核心
  3. 对棒球术语不熟悉可先补「中继」「胜利方程式」等基本概念,再回看比赛段落
  4. 可按册顺序连读第23至25册,完整看完「新生青道」启动后的开季阶段
