Designated for Assignment.Episode Description:
Both Nishigo'uchi, a 38 year old starter for the Sapporo Purple Shadows and the Spiders' Tōkō —previously seen in episode 7— have been "DFA'd" by their teams. Neither of them want to quit playing, Tōkō because he believes he still has the ability to play well and Nishigo'uchi for financial reasons (paying hefty taxes from last year's inflated salary). Both of them enter tryouts on the slim chance that some other teams will pick them up. Eventually no Japanese teams are interested but both of them get signed by a team in Taiwan.
