[00:04] Yu
    There's only one thing we can do.
[00:08] Yu
    We have to get stronger,
[00:10] Yu
    so we can fight for those who can't!
[00:16] Mi
    Stronger.
SIGN     Training Camp Begins!
[01:52] Ta
    So your shoulder wasn't
    fully healed yet, huh?
[01:56] Ch
    Yeah, I think it'll take some time until it is.
[02:01] Ch
    But I don't regret anything.
[02:03] Ch
    I'm grateful for the coach
    who used me as a player.
[02:10] Ch
    Now, it's your turn.
[02:12] Ch
    It's up to you to make our summer long.
[02:16] Ch
    I'll support the team
    from behind the scenes.
[02:23] Ta
    Idiot...
[02:24] Ta
    Don't tell me you don't
    regret anything...
[02:28] Ta
    In my last summer,
[02:30] Ta
    I wanted to form
    a battery with you.*
[02:39] P1*
    I understand Ryosuke-san's
    brother making the first-string,
[02:41] P1
    but how did Sawamura get in?
[02:44] P1
    He was basically trash without
    Chris-senpai in that game,
[02:48] P1
    and he's so bad at pick-offs.
[02:50] P2
    There were other more qualified
    second and third-years.
[02:55] P3
    The coach is so mean.
[02:57] P2
    I bet we'll eventually
    be tossed aside, too.
[03:00] Ma
    Are you guys stupid?
[03:04] P1
    Zono...
[03:05] Ma
    We're a team that's always
    playing to make the nationals.
[03:08] Ma
    It's not uncommon to promote key
    players in preparation for next year.
[03:13] P2
    Yeah, we know!
[03:16] P2
    But... don't you wish it had been you instead?
[03:19] Ma
    Of course I do!
[03:21] Ma
    But...
[03:23] Ma
    All the third-years who
    wanted it even more
[03:26] Ma
    showed up to practice this morning,
    and I mean all of them.
[03:32] Ma
    We still have another year of opportunities,
[03:34] Ma
    and you're still talking about the past?
[03:37] Ma
    If you want it, you gotta work for it!
[03:43] Ma
    I gotta work for it.
[03:45] Ma
    Just watch!
[03:46] Ma
    I'll definitely make the cut next year!
[03:59] Ku
    Miyuki!
[04:00] Ku
    What are you looking at so seriously?
[04:05] Ku
    The score book record
    of that Kokudokan game?
[04:08] Ku
    Is reading that your favorite pastime?
[04:11] Mi
    Well, it's part of my job.
[04:13] Ku
    Honestly,
[04:15] Ku
    I didn't expect Sawamura to get
    so good in such a short time.
[04:20] Ku
    Though I'm sure it's all
    thanks to Chris-senpai.
[04:25] Ku
    I'm more worried that he won't
    recover from the damage.
[04:29] Ku
    He was still crying all night last night.
[04:33] (Flashback) Ku
    Shut it!
[04:34] (Flashback) Ku
    Quit crying, already!
[04:36] Ku
    He's the type who throws
    well when he feels well.
[04:41] Ku
    I just hope it doesn't affect how he plays.
[04:44] Mi
    He'll have to recover.
[04:47] Mi
    I'm the catcher.
[04:51] Ku
    You're so cocky!
[04:53] Ku
    That's what I can't stand about you.
[04:56] Mi
    Thanks.
[04:57] Ku
    It wasn't a compliment!
[05:00] Mr
    Whoever's in charge today,
    I'm low on red chalk.
[05:03] Mr
    Tsurezuregusa, written by Yoshida Kenko,
    whose real name was Urabe Kaneyoshi,
[05:06] Mr
    is one of the top three zuihitsu works,
[05:08] Mr
    along with Makura no Soshi and Hojoki.
[05:11] Mr
    This is classical Japanese literature.
[05:14] Ha
    It feels like Sawamura-kun has changed
    a bit since making the first-string.
[05:18] Ha
    He's always been yelling
    about becoming the ace,
[05:21] Ha
    so I thought he'd look more happy...
[05:24] Ha
    But he's been in class since morning,
[05:26] Ha
    and he isn't sleeping like always.
[05:29] Mr
    Looks like my passion in teaching
    has finally gotten to him.
[05:37] (Flashback) Yu
    There's only one thing we can do.
[05:41] (Flashback) Yu
    We have to get stronger,
[05:44] (Flashback) Yu
    so we can fight for those who can't!
[05:57] Sa
    Stronger...
[06:02] Sa
    Stronger...
[06:10] Sa
    I have to do everything
    I can right now.
[06:12] Sa
    It's the only way to express
    my gratitude for Chris-senpai!
[06:18] Sa
    I can't lose!
[06:20] Sa
    Not to myself!
[06:22] Sa
    And not to baseball!
[06:24] Ha
    Eijun-kun's so motivated.
[06:26] Ha
    Once his mind is set on something,
    he goes through with it.
[06:29] Ha
    That's what I admire about him.
[06:35] Ha
    Hey, he got a little faster.
[06:39] Ha
    I can't lose either.
[06:45] Ha
    In the end, my brother didn't
    once look me in the eyes.
[06:50] Ha
    Is he saying that I'm not
    ready for the first-string?
[06:55] Sa
    Let's go!
[06:56] Sa
    Ten more!
[06:59] Mi
    Looks like you were worried for nothing.
[07:02] Mi
    He's even more motivated than ever.
[07:05] Ku
    Damn.
[07:06] Ch
    It'd be a problem if he weren't.
[07:08] Ch
    Always having a positive attitude.
[07:12] Ch
    That's his strongest quality.
[07:15] Mi
    Chris-senpai.
[07:18] Ch
    But he's going a bit overboard.
[07:20] Ch
    There are still a plethora
    of things he needs to learn.
[07:26] Ch
    We have to keep him on a leash,
[07:29] Ch
    or he'll push himself
    until he breaks.
[07:31] Mi
    Absolutely.
[07:33] Mi
    He's too stupid to know how to hold back.
[07:35] Ch
    Yeah.
[07:36] Ch
    He's an idiot who can't hold back.
[07:39] Ku
    Is that supposed to be a compliment?
[07:43] Ot
    Coach Kataoka,
[07:45] Ot
    is it because Tanba isn't doing so hot
[07:48] Ot
    that you took another pitcher
    into the first-string?
[07:52] Ka
    The number of strikeouts...
[07:54] Ka
    or the number of hits is irrelevant.
[07:57] Ka
    In high school baseball,
    where one loss is the end,
[07:59] Ka
    we're not looking for the numbers.
[08:02] Ka
    No matter how bad the pitching looks,
[08:05] Ka
    it's fine if it makes us win.
[08:07] Ka
    That's the kind of ace I'm looking for.
[08:09] Ka
    So if you ask me, we don't
    have an ace on our team.
[08:14] Ka
    We'll have to turn them into aces
    during the upcoming camp
[08:17] Ka
    and throughout the tournament.
[08:20] Ka
    If the pitcher's on a roll,
[08:21] Ka
    I'll let him play, regardless of his age.
SIGN    Seidou Spirit Dorm
[08:35] Ku
    You running today, too?
[08:38] Ku
    Don't. It's raining outside.
[08:41] Ku
    You've been overworking yourself lately.
[08:45] Ku
    The camp starts tomorrow,
[08:47] Ku
    so you gotta know when to rest.
[08:53] Sa
    I'll be back.
[08:54] Ku
    Hey!
[08:55] Ku
    Did you hear what I just said?
[08:59] Sa
    Don't worry.
[09:01] Sa
    The rain can't beat me down.
[09:03] Ku
    Stupid!
[09:04] Ku
    That's not what I'm—
[09:07] Ku
    It's exactly as Chris-senpai said.
[09:11] (Flashback) Ch
    ...he'll push himself until he breaks.
[09:13] Ku
    Shoot.
[09:14] Ku
    He's really going overboard.
[09:22] Ch
    Is your finger better now?
[09:24] Fu
    Oh. Yes.
[09:25] Fu
    It's healed.
[09:27] Fu
    I want to start pitching immediately,
    but the coach won't...
[09:31] Ch
    You keep a cool face,
    but you're not hiding anything...
[09:34] Ch
    I'm sure Miyuki's already told you,
[09:36] Ch
    but if you don't take care of your nails,
    it'll happen again and again.
[09:39] Fu
    Yes, sir.
[09:40] Ch
    Also... you need to build
    stamina and ball control.
[09:43] Fu
    Stamina...
[09:45] Fu
    I hear it everywhere I go.
[09:48] Sa
    I have to push myself.
[09:50] Sa
    I don't have a choice.
[09:51] Mi
    Hey.
[09:55] Mi
    Come with me for a bit, Sawamura.
[09:59] Mi
    Don't run away.
[10:01] Sa
    What do you want from me?
[10:02] Sa
    I want to go run right now!
[10:05] Mi
    Just follow me.
[10:07] Sa
    Follow you where?
[10:09] Sa
    Oh, no!
[10:10] Sa
    Are you guys mad about me taking
    Chris-senpai's spot on the team,
[10:14] Sa
    and you're all going to jump me?
[10:17] Mi
    Yep, you're spot on.
[10:19] Sa
    I knew this day would come!
[10:22] Sa
    No!
[10:23] Sa
    I know very well that
    I'm far from being worthy!
[10:29] Mi
    Hey, I brought him over.
[10:31] Mi
    He was trying to run
    in the rain like you predicted.
[10:35] Sa
    I'll take you all on!
[10:39] Ch
    I'm not surprised.
[10:47] Sa
    G-Good morning, Chris-senpai!
[10:50] Mi
    Wow, you didn't treat me
    with the same respect.
[10:53] [SONG] On-screen
    Devote every moment
[10:53] Sa
    I wasn't expecting you
    to personally teach me a lesson!
[10:57] Sa
    So this is what being in a strictly
    hierarchical society is like!
[10:57] [SONG] On-screen
    Learn today
[11:00] Ch
    What are you talking about?
[11:03] Ch
    I called you here because I wanted to tell you
    what you need to do before summer.
[11:10] Ch
    Furuya, Sawamura, listen.
[11:12] Ch
    Every play in baseball starts at the pitcher.
[11:17] Ch
    That's why it's such an important role.
[11:19] Ch
    Pick-offs with the infield,
[11:21] Ch
    late base covering,
[11:23] Ch
    or any other little mistake
    could cost the game.
[11:30] Ch
    Basically, as the ones who have
    the ball longer than anyone else,
[11:35] Ch
    you have to be more familiar with
    baseball than anyone on the team.
[11:42] Sa
    M-More familiar...
[11:45] Fu
    Than anyone...
[11:47] 2p
    On this team?
[11:51] Ch
    You can't win the summer
    tournament on momentum alone.
[11:57] Mi
    Relax.
[11:59] Mi
    That's why we're here.
[12:02] Mi
    You can't practice team plays by yourself.
[12:05] Mi
    Sorry for making you help, Zono.
[12:07] Ma
    You crazy?
[12:08] Ma
    I can't say no to Chris-senpai.
[12:11] Ma
    I'm not doing this for you!
[12:12] Ha
    I came along, too.
[12:17] Ch
    Sawamura, I told you, didn't I?
[12:21] Ch
    Practice isn't about aimlessly working hard.
[12:24] Ch
    You have to learn to rest.
[12:27] Ch
    Do you want to end up like me?
[12:35] Sa
    N-No...
SIGN    National Champion
[12:39] Ch
    It's not bad to have the responsibility
    of a first-string player.
[12:43] Ch
    However, you don't need to
    shoulder everything by yourself.
[12:48] Ch
    So do a light workout today.
[12:52] Ch
    Okay?
[12:58] Ch
    Geez, you're quite a handful.
[13:03] Sa
    Chris-senpai...
[13:05] Sa
    I...
[13:07] Sa
    I...
[13:31] Ku
    You crying again, Sawamura?
[13:34] Ku
    Man, you're so hard to work with!
[13:37] Ku
    Fine, we'll help you out, too.
[13:41] Ma
    For five cups of pudding, that is.
[13:43] Sa
    Kuramochi-senpai!
[13:45] Sa
    Masuko-senpai!
[13:47] Ku
    All right, let's start with pick-offs.
[13:50] Ku
    You gotta get the slide stepping down.
[13:55] Ch
    Sawamura, don't get the wrong idea.
[13:58] Ch
    Training you two to be full-fledged pitchers
[14:02] Ch
    is something I'm doing for the team.
[14:04] Ch
    I haven't given up on
    being a baseball player.
[14:10] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[14:11] Sa
    I'm looking forward to working with you!
[14:13] Ch
    Just a heads-up, but it'll
    be hell starting tomorrow.
[14:15] Sa
    Y-Yes, sir!
[14:17] Mi
    Damn...
[14:19] Mi
    I wish I could've competed
    with him for the catcher position.
[14:25] Ku
    Thai kick out of the blue!
[14:27] Sa
    Why?
[14:29] Sa
    Ow! What the hell was—
[14:31] Ku
    Oh, are you talking back?
[14:33] Mi
    What are you doing?
[14:35] Mi
    Can't get into their circle?
[14:39] Mi
    Well, he's surprisingly
    always surrounded by people,
[14:43] Mi
    and you're always off doing your own thing,
    so you two are different.
[14:53] Mi
    But...
[14:55] Mi
    Well, I think you're fine the way you are.
[14:57] Mi
    You lead the team with strength.
[15:00] Mi
    That's your style.
[15:07] Mi
    To be frank,
[15:08] Mi
    I can't have fun if you all
    have the same pitching style!
[15:13] Fu
    Um...
[15:14] Fu
    I've been thinking this for a while, but...
[15:17] [SONG] On-screen
    Learn today
[15:18] Fu
    you have a twisted personality.
[15:22] Mi
    I get that a lot.
[15:53] Ta
    I won't give up the ace number to anyone.
[15:57] Ta
    Miyauchi.
[16:00] Ta
    Can you join me at the bullpen later?
[16:03] Mi
    You gonna throw today?
[16:05] Ta
    Yeah, there's a pitch I want to try.
SIGN    Second Week of June ー First Day of Training Camp
[16:32] Ma
    You hit so cleanly.
[16:35] Yu
    You okay, Makihara?
[16:37] Ma
    Shut up!
[16:38] Ma
    Don't be concerned.
[16:39] Sa
    Yeah, Tetsu.
[16:41] Ku
    We're on standby, too.
[16:42] Ku
    Just hit until you've had enough.
[16:44] Ma
    You ready?
[16:46] Yu
    Guys...
[16:48] Yu
    Thanks for your thoughts,
    but can you throw harder?
[16:52] Ma
    Merciless!
[16:59] P1
    Wow! Look at those two.
[17:00] P1
    They move like ninjas.
[17:02] P2
    He's a first-year, and he's
    keeping up with Ryosuke-san.
[17:11] Ku
    I bet it's not fun for Ryosuke-san
    to be competing with his brother.
[17:15] Ku
    But...
[17:17] Ku
    We should be able
    to see a difference later.
[17:21] Ma
    Hey! Sawamura!
[17:23] Ma
    Do you have any idea
    where the runners are?
[17:27] Ma
    Tell me!
[17:28] Sa
    First and second.
[17:29] Ma
    Then you gotta cover
    the plate for outfield hits!
[17:32] Sa
    That's right!
[17:34] Ma
    So don't just stand there on the mound!
[17:36] Ma
    Don't look lost!
[17:40] Ma
    Furuya, don't miss such an easy catch!
[17:43] Ma
    Are these guys going to be okay?
[17:45] Ma
    They haven't improved one bit.
[17:47] Ch
    They won't get any better
    when they have to think about it.
[17:51] Fu
    Don't worry about it.
[17:52] Sa
    That's not for you to say!
[17:53] Ch
    They need to be able to imagine
    multiple scenarios before throwing,
[17:56] Ch
    then act accordingly,
    like it's second nature.
[18:00] Ch
    Tanba, Kawakami,
[18:01] Ch
    go in the bullpen first.
[18:05] Sa
    What about us?
[18:06] Ch
    You two are going to do
    this until you perfect it.
[18:11] Ch
    Shouldn't surprise you.
[18:12] Ch
    After this, you're going
    to catch outfield flies.
[18:16] Sa
    Outfield?
[18:17] Fu
    I didn't sign up for this.
[18:18] Ch
    It doesn't end at catching.
[18:20] Ch
    You have to throw back
    to the plate afterward.
[18:21] Ch
    Got it?
[18:22] Mi
    Makes sense.
[18:24] Mi
    They have to run to catch flies,
    and then have to throw far.
[18:27] Mi
    They'll need to throw
    dynamically to throw far.
[18:32] Mi
    What a perfect menu for them.
[18:35] Mi
    Though they don't
    seem to understand.
[18:37] Mi
    Both the coach and Chris-senpai
    are thinking with open minds.
[18:41] Mi
    Furuya's batting skills are
    too good to keep in the dugout.
[18:46] Mi
    Oh, Tanba-san,
[18:48] Mi
    if you're going to the bullpen, I'm open.
[18:49] Ta
    No.
[18:51] Ta
    I'll ask Miyauchi to catch.
[18:54] Ta
    I want to focus on that pitch again today.
[18:55] Mi
    Okay.
[18:59] Ot
    With this camp happening,
[19:00] Ot
    it really feels like summer's approaching.
[19:03] Ot
    I sure hope there won't be
    any quitters again this year.
[19:06] Re
    That would be best.
[19:08] Ka
    Becoming one with the team.
[19:10] Ka
    That's the goal of this camp.
[19:15] Ma
    What are you doing?
[19:17] Ma
    You'd better not do that in a game!
[19:20] Sa
    Damn it!

    Crying won't get you off the hook!

[19:32] Sa
    Wow, food!
[19:35] Sa
    Did you make all of this?
[19:38] Sa
    Awesome!
[19:39] Sa
    Well, time to dig...
[19:41] Ku
    Don't start before your upperclassmen!
[19:46] Ka
    Where's my fried chicken?
[19:48] Sa
    This training camp doesn't feel that
    much different from normal practice.
[19:51] Ku
    The only difference is that people
    who commute also stay in the dorms.
[19:55] Ku
    But the practice amount more than doubles
[19:58] Ku
    since we use two fields
    for only twenty people.
[20:01] Ku
    You better thank everyone
    for helping us out!
[20:05] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[20:06] Ku
    Also, don't hold back on eating.
[20:08] Ku
    We have practice even after the sun sets.
[20:11] Sa
    Oh, awesome!
[20:13] Ha
    Oh, then here.
[20:14] Ha
    We made plenty, so eat up!

    Thanks to this, I can go all night long!

    He's gonna barf.

    For sure.

    He's dead.
[20:31] Ry
    Poor thing.
[20:33] Ku
    Jun-san made me eat
    until I died last year.
[20:36] Ku
    The training camp of hell
     has only just begun!
