### Background

#### Encounter with Hyūma and Samon (飛雄馬・左門との出会い)

After Hōsaku Samon was beaten by Mitsuru Hanagata in the race to defeat Hyūma Hoshi's Dai League Ball No. 2 first, Hōsaku Samon goes to a movie theatre to watch a film late at night by himself. During the middle of the film, a girl named Kyōko (who was sitting beside him), attempts to provoke him in the darkness by placing her hand on his inner thigh, which causes a huge scene to happen. Both Kyōko and Samon take the drama outside in the hallways. Kyōko and the Tornado Group then attempt to blackmail him by calling him a pervert. (In the anime version, Kyōko grabs Samon's hand while he is walking downtown in an attempt to steal his wallet from his pants pocket, and once she is caught, she accuses him of being a pervert.) Hyūma Hoshi who happened to be there at the theatres, saves Samon's life. At that moment in time, Kyōko then called professional baseball "Match fixing / 八百長" which enraged Hyūma and caused him to aggressively slap her. Kyōko fell in love with Hyūma, but at the same time, Samon fell in love with Kyōko, and an odd love triangle ensued.

#### Injury of the Pinky Finger (小指の負傷)

In desperation after Hanagata defeated the Dai League Ball No. 2, Hyūma attempted to stick a knife into his own left hand. Kyōko, who defended him, was forced by a yakuza boss to commit "Yubitsume" but was saved by Hyūma, who rushed into the yakuza boss's office, but during the altercation, the nerve in her pinky finger was severed and became immobilized. In the anime version, the reason why her pinky finger stopped moving was changed to the form of being injured as a substitute for Hyūma.

#### Hospitalization and Blackmail (入院と恐喝)

Hyūma took Kyōko to the hospital, but due to fear of a possible scandal occurring, she asked him to leave her at the hospital's entrance. However, he is shocked when the doctor explains to him that Kyōko's pinky finger has been immobilized. He later on visits her at the hospital and witnesses Kyōko and her friends having a wild party in the hospital room and sees their efforts to blackmail the hospital. Hyūma is then reminded that they live in two completely different worlds, so he offers to compensate Kyōko for all her medical expenses and, as a consolation prize, to freely dispose of the apartment, her bank account, and all her other assets, and he hands over a key to his apartment to Kyōko and leaves.

#### A Letter Left Behind (置き手紙)

Hyūma, who participated in the All-Star Tournament, could not bear to see Samon (who was also participating in the tournament) in agony over his love for Kyōko, so he decided to relieve Samon's feelings for Kyōko by showing Samon the devastation of his room, where everything would have been taken away and ransacked by her. After the match, Samon also went along with Hyūma, hoping that he could escape this suffering. However, Hyūma, determined, opened the door, but to his surprise nothing was taken from his room. A leftover letter containing Kyōko's true feelings was tucked in the door along with the key, and the letter ended with the words "Onegai / オネガイ" which urged him to reemerge as a baseball player. The letter was a shock to Hyūma, and he was determined to fight for a second chance. He also gave a push to Samon, who he had tried to make him give up his feelings for her, by saying that he was sure that he had a good eye for choosing the right ball for women.

#### The Apple Incident and the Major League Ball No. 3 (リンゴ事件と大リーグボール3号)

In order to escape pursuit by the yakuza organization, Kyōko and the rest of the Tornado group boarded a bullet train to Osaka. On the train, they met Samon and his friends who happened to be on the same train to participate in the All-Star Tournament. Kyōko tries to throw an apple to Samon with her injured pinky hand, but Samon fails to catch it. While watching her, Hyūma got a big hint for the development of the Dai League Ball No. 3.

#### Marriage to Hōsaku (左門との結婚)

After learning of Kyōko's inner beauty through the pinky finger incident, Hyūma advised Samon, who was passionately in love with Kyōko, that she was "a suitable partner" and that she should "confess her love to a man," likening it to a samurai's admonition to die. Although not directly depicted in the original story, Samon accepted this advice and proposed to Kyōko, who accepted and married Samon. The wedding ceremony at the church was attended by Samon's younger brothers and sisters, as well as Ittetsu, Akiko, Ban, Hanagata, and Makiba. Outside of the church, Hyūma Hoshi secretly congratulates them from outside the window and quietly walks away.

#### Afterwards (その後)

In the "New Star of the Giants," Kyōko is depicted living a happy life with Samon and his younger siblings. When asked by Samon if she still likes Hyūma Hoshi, she replies with a smile, "As much as you do," and they seem to be very comfortable with each other. The rough and abusive tone of her former days as the Tornado Group leader has disappeared, and she now speaks like a polite young lady, and her hair, which was almost blonde, has now turned black.
