The first episode of Oblivion Battery, titled I’ll Remind You, began with a flashback that unveiled Kaname and Kiyomine’s dominant battery that left opposing teams feeling hopeless. The animation then delved into Kaname’s amnesia and their subsequent enrollment at Kotesashi High School.

In that place, Kaname and Kiyomine made friends with Tarou Yamada, a boy they had previously defeated. Tarou was amazed by their presence, particularly because Kaname had completely forgotten his knowledge of baseball.

Shortly after, Kiyomine and Tarou joined the baseball club and a series of events unfolded, culminating in Kiyomine pitching to Kaname. This reignited Kiyomine’s passion for the sport and served as a reminder of his love for it.

It is expected that in episode 2 of Oblivion Battery, titled Wanna Play Together?, Haruka Kiyomine and Yamada Tarou will assist Kei Kaname with his baseball training. Despite Kei’s reluctance to continue playing the sport, Haruka remains determined to fulfill his dream of playing baseball with his friend.

Furthermore, in the upcoming anime episode, fans will be introduced to two new characters, Shunpei Chihaya and Aoi Toudou. These two individuals also have a shared background as former junior high baseball players who had retired after facing off against the Kiyomine-Kaname battery. As a result, it is possible that the upcoming episode may depict the pair joining the baseball club following a potential exhibition match.
