Ken and Ai spent the first week down in Osaka, upon which they got to witness Osaka Toin complete their back to back Summer Koshien win. This was the first time in over 60 years that a team had managed to achieve this, skyrocketing Daichi's status in Japan.

The news sent the Japanese baseball world into a frenzy with many media outlets calling him the next big prospect. There was speculation on whether he would remain in Japan after High School or take his talents overseas.

Of course, the overwhelming consensus was that the Japanese media wished for him to stay, with many hinting that he owed it to his country. This sort of thing was not uncommon for the Japanese media who liked to leverage public opinions.
