Kaido Academy Arc[]

This arc shows Goro in the beginning of high school baseball life. Goro (along with Toshiya) enters Kaido High School after the middle school baseball tournament ends, and has to go through the Dream Island before being accepted into Kaido's prestigious program. He struggles in passing pitcher selection criteria, which conform to rigid guidelines and manuals that contradict his playstyle. He's relegated to outfielder for awhile. Eventually, he completes this test for pitching; however, he's ranked lowest of those who made it through the programme by the evaluator Suo, and Shizuka Saotome, manager of the second string, seeing his attitude, profile, and perceived recklessness, intends to use him sparingly. In defiance, he demands to play in the game against the school's Scholarship Students, leading his team to victory by forming a battery with Toshiya playing catcher. Saotome benches him because she fears that his non-compliance with safety rules could jeopardize lives, like what happened to her brother. Desperately Goro seeks help from the owner of the team, and meets Tetsufumi Egashira, one of the chief villains of the series, instead. Upon seeing Goro's pitches, Egashira plans to make Goro the star and face of Kaido baseball by any means possible. He, manipulating, assures Goro can play moving forward, since he has significant authority and leverage on the team. Saotome and her surviving brother Taizou suspect Egashira will find ways to exploit Goro and skirt the Kaido rules/manual, since they know he engages in ethically dubious behavior. Goro is warned, and extensively trains with the Dream Island Players and Scholarship Students, in order to defeat the varsity Kaido team in an important exhibition game, thus accomplishing his goal to trounce Kaido from within. He strikes out Sengoku, a superb batting ace, and Toshiya and he are able to score runs, leading to a win. Egashira is ecstatic with Goro's capability; however, in a shocking twist Goro quits the team, refusing to become a puppet, and declares that he will defeat Kaido's best players while representing another school's team, to go to Kōshien. This provokes resentment from Egashira, who proves to be vindictive and petty.
