Episode Title:
Ball Game Tournament Time.
Episode Description:
As a baseball tournament is to be held, the male students of Class 3-E are forced to play an exhibition match against the top players of the boys baseball club. Despite knowing the odds are against them, particularly when pitted against baseball club captain Kazutaka Shindō, Koro-sensei is prompted to coach the students for the match. On the day of the match, the students of Class 3-E use a bunting strategy to load the bases, allowing Sugino to help the team get an early lead. Not willing to let this slide, Gakuhō takes over as the baseball club's coach to put a stop to the bunting strategy, using the power of hypnosis to turn Shindō into a bloodthirsty warrior. With the bases now loaded against Class 3-E, Karma uses previous provocations he made concerning some unfair play to his own advantage, placing himself and class president Yūma Isogai very close to Shindō, who breaks down from trying to swing his baseball bat without hurting them. This allows the students of Class 3-E to win the match. Afterwards, Sugino expresses how he wanted to show off the friends he made in Class 3-E, managing to rekindle his old friendship with Shindō.
