[tracingdreams]

A lot of words get said about Furuya. This is literally the only one you need to understand him.

信頼 (shinrai)

The word has various interpretations: faith, confidence, belief, trust.

Shinrai is written with the characters 

信 - to believe in, to have faith in

頼 - to rely on, to have confidence in.

In those two characters are everything that Furuya came to Seidou to find, and which, even now, in Act II, he still seeks.

As he writes in his notebook, Japan’s number one pitcher is one who is needed by his team.
