The peaks and the valleys. Find the essential episodes — and the ones to skip.
Nagara attends the opening ceremony of his technical school, but feels out of place. He sees Mizuho leaving her all-girls' school, but she brushes him off. He recalls what happened after blasting off into space, questioning if he ever really went adrift.
While traveling the wilderness, Mizuho asks Yamabiko how he became a dog. Yamabiko then relates how, 5000 years ago, he wandered different worlds all alone, until meeting a girl to whom he gradually opened his heart. But their happiness was short-lived.
After learning of Nozomi's death from Kossetsu's letter, Nagara and Mizuho hold a memorial service for her. While advancing the project to return home, they are visited by an old friend, who tells them the story of when he met the man who invented death.
As the castaways swim in a mysterious sinkhole, they seem to be momentarily taken back home. Cap invites Nagara to practice baseball with him, leading to him telling about the Monkey League, and how its star pitcher, Blue, missed out on a perfect game.
