[00:01] Sa
    On the final day of camp,
SIGN    Seido
    Inashiro
[00:03] Sa
    we held a three-way round robin
     between Seido, Inashiro, and Shukoku.
[00:11] Um
    Ball!
[00:12] Ka
    Damn.
[00:14] Ka
    He's so intimidating.
[00:44] Mi
    Kawakami.
[00:45] C1
    Put some heart into it!
[00:46] C2
    Five runs in the eighth inning alone.
[00:49] C2
    They've finally caught up.
[00:52] C3
    Summer's right around the corner.
[00:54] C3
    We lost to Kiryu yesterday, too.
[00:56] C3
    Are we going to be okay?
[00:58] C2
    Not to mention, this isn't
    just a practice game.
[01:01] C2
    It's against our biggest rival in the West District,
    Inashiro Vocational High School,
[01:06] C2
    led by Coach
    Hiroshige Kunitomo.
SIGN    Fate
[02:40] C1
    Inashiro and Ichidai 3rd
[02:42] C1
    have robbed us of our chances
    at the nationals for the past five years.
[02:46] C1
    If we keep playing like this,
    we're definitely not going this year.
[02:50] Sa
    Coach!
[02:51] Sa
    Kawakami-senpai's
    at his limit!
[02:54] Sa
    He's tired from camp, too!
[02:56] Ku
    Sawamura, stop!
[02:57] Sa
    If you give me the green light,
    I'll happily go out there!
[03:00] Ka
    I don't have any plans for you today.
[03:02] Ka
    Go away.
[03:04] Sa
    No plans?
[03:05] Sa
    I'm not doing anything today?
[03:07] Ma
    Come with me, Sawamura-chan.
SIGN    drag
SIGN    drag
[03:09] Ku
    You idiot!
[03:12] Ku
    The coach knows Kawakami's
    at his limit.
[03:16] Ku
    He's seeing if Kawakami has the spirit
    to finish a game even in his exhausted state.
[03:21] Sa
    But that team's strong!
[03:24] Sa
    So I have to go out there!
[03:26] Ma
    Where do you find so much confidence?
[03:29] Ku
    You seriously don't understand anything.
[03:33] Ku
    They don't have their best
    players playing today.
[03:38] Ku
    No one's stupid enough to show his
     entire hand right before the season.
[03:43] Ku
    We have our non-starters playing, too.
[03:46] Sa
    Th-That much thought went into this?
[03:48] Sa
    So complicated.
[03:49] Ku
    We all have each other
[03:52] Ku
    on our minds.
[03:53] Ku
    Also, Kawakami has the skills
[03:57] Ku
    but lacks the heart.
[03:59] Ku
    Throwing an entire game against
    Inashiro should give him confidence.
[04:04] Ku
    He's been doing well so far.
[04:07] Ku
    I'm sure you're
    exhausted, but...
[04:09] Ku
    don't give up, Kawakami.
[04:11] Mi
    Hey.
[04:15] Ka
    Wh-Where are you touching,
    Miyauchi-senpai?
[04:20] Mi
    Seems like you've still
    got a pair down here.
[04:23] Mi
    Then your should be fine.
[04:26] Mi
    Your pitching is getting slower,
[04:28] Mi
    but you've made it
    this far on your own.
[04:32] Mi
    Throw with more confidence.
[04:35] Ka
    Um... Sir...
[04:36] Ka
    Can you please let go?
[04:38] Mi
    Yeah, you'll be fine.
[04:42] Mi
    Just throw your arm down
    as hard as you can.
[04:45] Mi
    I'll catch whatever
    you throw at me.
[04:49] Mi
    Don't lose heart.
[04:51] Ka
    Yes, sir!
[04:59] (Flashback) Mi
    I'm playing in the
    first game, sir?
[05:01] (Flashback) Ka
    Yeah.
[05:02] (Flashback) Ka
    We'll be up against Inashiro.
[05:04] (Flashback) Ka
    Support Kawakami
    with offensive calls.
[05:07] (Flashback) Mi
    What about...
[05:09] (Flashback) Ka
    Tanba will form a battery with
    Miyuki for the second game.
[05:14] (Flashback) Ka
    Okay?
[05:20] (Flashback) Mi
    Yes, sir.
[05:22] (Flashback) Mi
    I'll do my best.
[05:27] Mi
    I can't call plays like Miyuki,
    nor can I hit like him.
[05:33] Mi
    I figured that out long ago.
[05:35] Mi
    But if I admit it, I'll...
[05:40] Mi
    I'll...
[05:44] Mi
    never allow a ball to pass.
[05:50] Mi
    This is the only
    thing I can do.
[05:59] Ka
    The mitt looks bigger than usual.
[06:02] Ka
    That's more than enough
    for me, Miyauchi-senpai.
[06:08] Um
    Strike!
[06:10] E1
    Outside on the frame?
[06:12] E1
    He's regained his strength.
[06:15] Ka
    Nice throw, Kawakami!
[06:17] Ka
    Let's be confident!
[06:18] Hi
    Pull it together, Nori!
[06:20] Hi
    We've got your back!
[06:22] Ue
    Throw with confidence!
[06:24] Ue
    We'll turn this game around!
[06:26] Ka
    Let's do this, Kawakami!
[06:31] EC
    So they get back on their feet
    without the help of their coach.
[06:35] EC
    They're well-trained.
[06:38] EC
    They'll be a tough team
    to beat, yet again, this year.
SIGN    Seido
    Inashiro
[06:45] EE
    Thank you!
[06:47] Ku
    Hey, Sawamura.
[06:49] Ku
    Hurry up and clean up the dugout.
[06:50] Sa
    Yes, sir.
[06:52] Ku
    We're all watching the game
    between Inashiro and Shuhoku.
[06:56] Ku
    Inashiro's probably bringing
    out their best next game.
[07:00] Sa
    A three-way round robin...
[07:03] Sa
    This is a first for me.
SIGN    Shuhoku
    
    
    
    Inashiro
[07:06] Sa
    I'm getting really excited.
[07:12] Sa
    I want to play, too!
[07:14] Sa
    Furuya and Harucchi
    are playing!
[07:16] Na
    Hey, you there
    with the energy.
[07:19] Na
    Yeah, you.
[07:21] Na
    Is Furuya throwing today?
[07:24] Na
    I hear he throws like a monster
     even though he's a first-year.
[07:28] Sa
    Inashiro?
[07:30] Sa
    He wasn't in the previous game.
[07:33] Na
    I figured I'll check out
    how fast he actually throws.
[07:36] Ha
    You're just worried he might
    throw faster than you.
[07:41] Ha
    You're such a small guy.
[07:43] Na
    Shut up!
[07:44] Na
    I'm just genuinely curious!
[07:46] Ha
    So small.
[07:49] Sa
    What's up with these two?
[07:51] Sa
    He's not throwing today.
[07:53] Na
    Seriously?
[07:55] Na
    That was all I came here to see.
[07:57] Na
    He got six strikeouts against
     Yokohama Academy, right?
[08:01] Sa
    Yeah, I guess.
[08:02] Na
    Hey, how'd he do it?
[08:03] Na
    What's his top speed?
[08:05] Na
    What breaking ball does he throw?
[08:06] Sa
    Man, shut up...
[08:08] Na
    Why isn't he throwing?
[08:10] Na
    Is he not feeling well?
[08:11] Na
    Or are you just keeping him secret?
[08:15] Sa
    All he cares about is Furuya!
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Field
[08:18] Sa
    Don't you two know about
[08:20] Sa
    Seido's other new amazing pitcher?
[08:24] Na
    Who's that?
[08:26] Sa
    Well, you see.
[08:28] Sa
    We had a game against
    Osaka Kiryu yesterday, and...
[08:31] Na
    Against Kiryu?
[08:32] Sa
    Indeed.
[08:33] Sa
    And Furuya pitched in the game.
[08:36] Sa
    But the result was horrible.
[08:38] Sa
    He lost eleven runs in five innings.
[08:41] Sa
    That's eleven runs!
[08:43] Na
    You're lying.
[08:45] Sa
    Not at all.
[08:46] Sa
    It's the truth.
[08:49] Sa
    And when everyone thought it was over,
    a hero came to the rescue.
[08:53] Sa
    Me! Sawa—
[08:54] Ku
    Thai kick!
[08:58] Ku
    Stop talking about our team, you idiot!
[09:02] Na
    Wait! That was all true?
[09:05] Na
    He just gave away secrets
    to a rival team.
[09:08] Ha
    Is he an idiot?
[09:10] Mi
    Yeah, it's the truth.
[09:13] Mi
    Furuya's not doing very well right now.
[09:16] Na
    Kazuya.
[09:17] Na
    When you say it,
    it sounds like a total lie.
[09:21] Mi
    So you're pitching today, right?
[09:24] Na
    I sure am.
[09:25] Mi
    Time to get some valuable data, then.
[09:29] Sa
    Are you all friends?
[09:30] Ha
    Let's go, Mei.
[09:32] Ha
    I don't like him.
[09:34] Na
    Oh, yeah.
[09:36] Na
    Last summer, Kazuya's calls
    completely shut you—
[09:39] Ha
    Shut up.
[09:39] Ha
    Let's go.
[09:41] Na
    Well, see ya.
[09:44] Mi
    Sawamura.
[09:45] Mi
    As a fellow southpaw,
    don't miss his pitching.
[09:50] Ku
    Last summer, in the semi-finals...
SIGN    National High School Baseball Championship, Tokyo Qualifier
SIGN    Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium
[10:06] Az
    You little...
[10:09] Um
    Strike!
[10:11] Um
    Batter out!
[10:26] Mi
    He's our fated rival.
[10:29] Mi
    If we don't take him down,
[10:32] Mi
    we can't go to nationals.
[10:38] Um
    Strike!
[10:41] Mi
    He's the second-year ace
    of Inashiro Vocational High School.
[10:44] Mi
    Mei Narumiya.
[10:48] Um
    Strike!
[10:55] SC
    Wh-What are you doing?
[10:57] SC
    You've gotta swing to hit it!
[11:00] S1
    Even if you say that,
    what pitch do I aim at?
[11:09] C1
    Shuhoku have been picking up speed in the
    East District, but they're being dominated.
SIGN    Shuhoku
     Inashiro
[11:14] C2
    He's given up five hits in six innings,
[11:17] C2
    but he gets outs when he needs them.
[11:19] C3
    He really has the presence of an ace.
[11:23] Is
    That annoying brat...
[11:25] Is
    He wasn't going
    all out in the first half.
[11:27] Is
    He just stepped up his game.
[11:30] Yu
    Yeah.
[11:34] Yu
    A sharp slider,
[11:37] Yu
    a forkball that almost
    goes into the ground,
[11:39] Yu
    and what makes those
     breaking balls come to life...
[11:46] Yu
    is his fastball with a top speed of 148 km/h.
[11:56] Yu
    Vertical and horizontal breaks,
    in addition to a powerful fastball.
[12:01] Yu
    A truly exemplary pitcher.
[12:10] Mi
    Hey, watch closely.
[12:13] Ch
    Looks like they understand how
    complete his pitching style is.
[12:19] Mi
    As an opponent,
[12:22] Mi
    there really isn't anyone
    worse to play against.
[12:27] Na
    They're watching.
[12:29] Na
    They're watching with
    hilarious faces.
[12:33] Na
    I really want to play them.
[12:36] Na
    There's nothing better than
    surprising the batter before me.
[12:43] Ha
    Hey, now.
[12:44] Ha
    You're throwing that here?
[12:46] Ha
    The coach told us not
    to throw it, you know?
SIGN    Let me throw
SIGN    I'm throwing
SIGN    I want to throw
[12:57] Ha
    He's not changing his mind.
[12:59] Ha
    Don't blame me...
[13:01] Ha
    ...if the coach gets mad.
[13:05] S1
    Damn.
[13:06] S1
    I'm just going to go for his fastball.
[13:11] Na
    Here's a little special gift.
[13:13] Na
    Watch closely.
[13:24] S1
    The ball isn't...
[13:27] S1
    here yet.
[13:29] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[13:35] Is
    A...
[13:36] Is
    ...changeup?
[13:38] Na
    Yay!
[13:41] Sa
    What was that half-assed throw?
[13:45] Fu
    How did he miss that slow pitch?
[13:51] Sa
    Huh?
[13:53] Sa
    What's wrong, guys?
[13:55] I1
    Nice, Mei.
[13:56] Na
    Thanks!
[13:57] I2
    Nice pitch, Mei.
[14:04] IC
    I thought I told you not
    to give away any new information.
[14:09] IC
    I'm switching you out this inning.
[14:11] Na
    What?
[14:12] Na
    Seriously?
[14:15] Is
    Damn, that wasn't even funny.
[14:18] Is
    He already has a good fastball,
[14:20] Is
    and both vertical and
    horizontal breaks.
[14:22] Is
    Now he has an off-speed pitch?
[14:26] Is
    That brat.
[14:27] Is
    Just how good is he going to get?
[14:32] Na
    Masa-san.
[14:34] Na
    I'm getting replaced.
[14:36] Na
    But I'm the ace.
[14:37] Ha
    Of course you are, stupid.
[14:40] Ha
    Didn't you throw it knowing
    this would happen?
[14:44] Ha
    You've been working hard
    this past year to win nationals.
[14:49] Ha
    I don't think it was wrong of you
    to show Seido your determination.
[14:54] Na
    Right?
[14:56] Na
    I've been working hard.
[14:58] Ha
    But don't say so yourself.
[15:01] Ha
    Man, you're so small.
[15:03] Ha
    But we've gotten better because
    of experience from last year.
[15:08] Na
    And we'll continue to get even better.
[15:12] Ha
    Those guys haven't even
    gone up on stage yet.
[15:18] Ha
    But we've experienced
    it first-hand.
[15:21] Na
    The stage of nationals.
[15:27] Is
    I want to hit him.
[15:28] Is
    His overconfident
    face makes me mad!
[15:30] Ry
    Make sure you hit him with a ball.
[15:33] Ma
    I'm going to hit in today's game.
[15:37] Ku
    I'm getting excited.
[15:39] Ch
    There has to be
    a weakness somewhere.
[15:42] Ch
    I have to find it.
[15:43] Mi
    You probably threw it to scare us,
    but it's not that easy, Mei.
[15:49] Mi
    We don't get scared that easily.
[15:55] Sa
    We haven't lost!
[15:56] Sa
    I don't quite know exactly what,
    but we haven't lost!
[15:59] Sa
    I really need to hurry up and
    become a part of this team!
[16:03] Ha
    I need to train even harder.
[16:06] Fu
    I won't lose.
[16:12] Ta
    Miyuki.
[16:13] Ta
    Let's go warm up.
[16:15] Ta
    You should check out how I'm
    throwing today in the bullpen.
[16:21] Ta
    So you'll know how to call the plays.
[16:31] Mi
    Tanba-san.
SIGN    Seido
    Shuhoku
SIGN    Round Robin Game 3
[16:48] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[16:50] Mi
    Nice pitch.
[16:53] Ha
    Have to say, it's gonna be hard to hit
    a curve ball that drops so much.
[16:57] Na
    Not to mention, there aren't many
    pitchers who can throw that.
[17:02] Mi
    He's doing really well.
[17:04] Mi
    He's controlling his curve ball
    almost perfectly.
[17:08] Mi
    We don't need any balls.
[17:09] Mi
    Let's let him hit, Tanba-san.
[17:15] Ku
    Ryo-san!
[17:17] Um
    Out!
[17:18] Ma
    All right! A double play!
[17:20] Ku
    Nice, shortstop!
[17:21] Sa
    Nice pitch, Tanba!
[17:23] IC
    He's throwing efficiently
    without any unnecessary balls.
[17:27] Ha
    Yes.
[17:28] Ha
    He's throwing his curve ball
    at all the right moments.
[17:31] IC
    And the one behind his pitching is...
[17:34] IC
    ...that catcher, who's making the calls.
[17:37] Re
    After five innings,
    he's thrown forty-three pitches.
[17:41] Re
    He's pacing well, so far.
[17:45] Ch
    Nice pitch, Tanba.
[17:53] (Flashback) Ta
    Miyuki.
[17:54] (Flashback) Ta
    Let's go warm up.
[17:58] (Flashback) Ta
    So you'll know how
    to call the plays.
[18:02] Ch
    Did Inashiro's game
    light a fire under you?
[18:05] Ch
    Did you feel that Miyuki's calls
    were necessary for you to pitch well?
[18:10] Ch
    It was the first time
    you approached him.
[18:17] Mi
    He's definitely throwing
    with a good rhythm,
[18:20] Mi
    but Miyuki hasn't asked
    for a forkball even once, so far.
[18:24] Mi
    Does he not see any use for it?
[18:29] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[18:32] Mi
    I think...
[18:33] Mi
    ...they're going to start focusing
    on a certain pitch soon.
[18:37] Mi
    I'll start asking for forkballs next inning.
[18:42] Mi
    One of the objectives in today's game
    is to throw a complete game.
[18:47] Mi
    We've been able to keep
    your pitch count low,
[18:50] Mi
    so let's take this chance
    to make this game ours.
[18:53] Mi
    He's been...
[18:54] Mi
    ...planning this from the start?
[18:57] Mi
    The second half is the real battle.
[19:02] Sa
    He sounds like an actual catcher.
[19:04] Sa
    Is he the same guy who only
    asked for inside throws?
[19:07] Fu
    He didn't make any calls to me.
[19:10] Ha
    I guess it depends on the pitcher.
[19:14] Ta
    I thought you weren't asking for it
[19:16] Ta
    because you weren't confident
    you could catch it.
[19:20] Ta
    Try and catch it, if you can.
[19:35] C1
    Can't Isashiki hit without a roar?
[19:38] C2
    The batters are doing well, like always.
[19:41] C3
    They're doing better than usual
    because of Inashiro's last game.
SIGN    Seido
    Shuhoku
[19:46] S1
    Damn.
[19:51] S1
    Just where am I supposed to throw?
SIGN    Seido
    Shuhoku
[19:57] Na
    Man, it's so boring.
[19:59] Na
    I already know that Seido can hit.
[20:03] Na
    I wish I could see Furuya throw.
[20:06] Na
    You're not working
    hard enough, Shuhoku!
[20:08] Na
    Make Seido bring out
    the pitcher I want!
[20:11] Ha
    You're still talking about him?
[20:14] Ha
    People have the impression
    that Seido doesn't have good pitchers,
[20:17] Ha
    but both Tanba and Kawakami
    are good pitchers.
[20:20] Ha
    Stay focused and watch until the end.
[20:23] Na
    But he self-destructs in the second half...
[20:26] Na
    ...even though he can throw really well.
[20:29] Na
    It's hard to watch as a pitcher myself.
[20:37] Na
    He just made eye contact.
[20:38] Ha
    Stop hiding.
[20:40] SC
    Okay, go for the fastballs.
[20:43] SC
    Do not swing at his curve balls.
[21:01] Ta
    Right off the bat?
[21:03] Ta
    You little!
[21:07] S1
    Yes! A fastball!
[21:15] S1
    It dropped?
[21:20] Mi
    Following the same
    path as a fastball,
[21:22] Mi
    it drops right in front of
    the batter like a sinker.
[21:26] Mi
    To be honest,
[21:27] Mi
    I didn't think it would be this amazing
    until I caught it personally,
[21:31] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[21:33] I1
    Hey, who knew he could
    throw a forkball?
[21:36] I2
    It was pretty fast, too.
[21:41] Ha
    I told you to stay focused.
[21:44] Ha
    Everyone who wants to go
    to the nationals is desperate.
[21:50] Ha
    If you take them lightly,
[21:52] Ha
    we just might end up
    getting preyed upon.
[23:36] Mi
    I wasn't expecting your forkball
[23:37] Mi
    to be at such a high level.
[23:39] Ta
    Miyuki, can we focus on
    throwing more forkballs?
[23:42] Ta
    I want to have it down before summer.
[23:44] Sa
    Wow.
[23:45] Sa
    The third-years are putting so much
    into their last tournament.
[23:49] Mi
    But then, something terrible happens.
[23:52] Sa
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Emergency.
SIGN     Emergency
[23:55] Sa
    Let's win the national title!
