[00:00] Yu
    Who are we?
[00:01] Te
    Seido, the champions!
[00:03] Yu
    Who's shed the most sweat?
[00:04] Te
    Seido!
[00:05] Yu
    Shed the most tears?
[00:07] Te
    Seido!
[00:08] Yu
    Are you ready for the fight?
[00:10] Te
    Yes!
[00:11] Yu
    Bearing pride in our hearts,
    we have just one goal!
[00:14] Yu
    The national championship!
[00:16] Yu
    Let's do this!
[00:18] Te
    Yeah!
SIGN    Calling for Attention
[02:04] Yu
    Let's go!
[02:05] Te
    Yeah!
[02:08] An
    We will now begin the second round
     of West Tokyo Qualifiers,
[02:13] An
    between Seido High School
    and Maimon West High School.
[02:21] Ha
    Our summer's finally about to start.
[02:26] Ha
    I really hope no one's nervous
[02:27] Ha
    for this important first game.
[02:31] Um
    You're the one who's nervous.
[02:33] Fu
    Don't worry.
[02:35] Fu
    I'm sure they're fine.
[02:46] Ku
    Dude...
[02:47] Ku
    Number 10?
[02:49] Ku
    Where's the southpaw ace?
[02:52] Ku
    Not to mention...
[02:54] Ku
    ...he's a submarine pitcher.
[02:56] Ch
    Number 10.
[02:58] Ch
    Mamoru Minamidaira,
    third-year.
[03:02] Ch
    He played as a pitcher as a first-year,
[03:06] Ch
    but he hasn't been a pitcher
    in an official game since then.
[03:10] Ch
    It's almost unthinkable,
[03:13] Ch
    but he must have spent two years
     practicing his submarine pitch
[03:18] Ch
    just for this summer.
[03:26] Um
    Play ball!
[03:29] Ma
    Kuramochi! Hit it!
[03:32] Ku
    Let's stir things up with your legs!
[03:35] Ku
    Well, what should I do?
[03:38] Ku
    The lead-off man's job is to get on base.
[03:43] Ku
    But I shouldn't simply hit off
    a pitcher we know nothing about...
[03:53] Um
    Strike!
[03:55] Ku
    That's slow!
[03:58] Ku
    He goes lower than Kawakami.
[04:01] Ku
    The pitch comes up,
    and then it goes back down.
[04:04] Ku
    The lack of speed in his pitch
    really makes this difficult.
[04:10] EC
    Do you see their faces?
[04:12] EC
    Seido is looking completely lost
    when faced with an unknown pitcher.
[04:19] EC
    Chiba's Art of War,
[04:22] EC
    Rule 1.
[04:25] EC
    Make the first move,
    no matter what it takes.
[04:29] EC
    They're nervous playing their first game.
[04:32] EC
    If we can shock them even a little, it's good.
[04:36] Ku
    It's low.
[04:38] Ku
    Is it just barely in?
[04:42] Um
    Strike two!
[04:44] C1
    Hey!
[04:45] C1
    This isn't like you, Kuramochi!
[04:47] C2
    Be more aggressive!
[04:50] Ku
    Crap.
[04:52] Ku
    I'm cornered.
[04:53] Ku
    I can't ignore the close ones anymore...
[04:57] Ku
    I need to show everyone
    what kind of pitcher he is.
[05:05] Ku
    Shoot!
[05:06] Ku
    Was it a curve? A slider?
[05:10] E1
    Batter's running!
[05:11] Ku
    I couldn't tell because it was so slow.
[05:15] ---
    Out!
[05:16] C1
    Wow! A strikeout!
[05:19] C2
    Shouldn't have just stood
    there the entire time!
[05:22] Yu
    The catcher was calm
[05:24] Yu
    in picking up that bouncing throw.
[05:26] Is
    Yeah.
[05:27] E1
    One out!
[05:29] ---
    One out!
[05:32] Is
    These guys definitely didn't
    form their battery overnight.
[05:37] Ku
    I'm sorry, Ryo-san.
[05:39] Ry
    I got to see that last breaking pitch.
[05:41] Ry
    You did your part.
[05:45] Ka
    Focus your hits on the easy throws.
[05:50] Mi
    Hey, Furuya.
[05:52] Mi
    Let's play some catch, just in case.
[05:54] Sa
    Sh-Should I do it as well?
[05:57] Mi
    Why?
[06:05] Mi
    He's got a real poker face, and I can't tell...
[06:08] Mi
    but is he calm or nervous?
[06:14] Mi
    If possible, I want a run here,
[06:18] Mi
    so he can be calm on the mound.
[06:21] Um
    Ball!
[06:24] EC
    He's not swinging at the low ones at all.
[06:29] EC
    Let's throw some to the outside.
[06:33] EC
    No! Too far in!
[06:37] C1
    Wow! Straight to third!
[06:39] C2
    Not a lucky day!
[06:41] ---
    I waited too long.
[06:44] C3
    Are they gonna be okay?
[06:46] C3
    They're getting outs, one after another.
[06:49] C2
    Maybe they're nervous?
[06:55] C1
    Isashiki, you'd better hit it!
[06:58] C2
    Roar!
[06:59] C2
    You're the Spitz of Seido!
[07:02] C2
    Who's a Spitz?
[07:10] ---
    Calm down, Isashiki!
[07:11] C2
    He could hear us?
[07:15] Ku
    From the right box,
    his pitch to the outside...
[07:18] Ku
    ...probably feels really far away.
[07:25] C1
    Yes!
[07:27] C1
    It's going!
[07:29] C2
    Run, Isashiki!
[07:34] C3
    Wow! A three-for-three?
[07:36] C2
    What was the right field doing so far back?
[07:39] C1
    They've really studied the Seido batters.
[07:43] Is
    Damn.
[07:45] Is
    He only threw to the outside.
[07:48] Mi
    Furuya, let's go.
[07:50] Fu
    Yes, sir.
[07:54] Mi
    We didn't underestimate them.
[07:57] Mi
    Our guys were all just trying to do their jobs.
SIGN    Seido Maimon
[08:01] Mi
    But I really wanted that first run.
[08:06] Mi
    Furuya is starting,
    and Kawakami is closing.
[08:09] Mi
    This is our best pitching order right now.
[08:14] Mi
    If Furuya fails to make a good start,
[08:18] Mi
    it's going to be a bad way
    to open the season.
[08:23] EC
    They're underestimating us!
[08:25] EC
    Maybe they think they aren't,
[08:27] EC
    but deep down, they actually are!
[08:31] EC
    We underdogs have got
    to take advantage of that!
[08:36] EC
    And there's the proof!
[08:39] EC
    Their starting pitcher is a first-year.
[08:41] EC
    No matter how prestigious they may be,
[08:43] EC
    they wouldn't use a first-year
    if this first game was important to them.
[08:49] Sa
    Hey, Furuya!
[08:52] Sa
    Even if you get hit, I'll be right behind you!
[08:56] Sa
    So get off the mound!
[08:57] Sa
    You don't have stamina,
    so just leave the rest to—
SIGN    Ignore
[09:02] Sa
    Hey, don't ignore me!
[09:04] Ha
    Good, they're being themselves.
[09:04] Sa
    Look over here, Furuya!
[09:07] Mi
    Furuya.
[09:10] Mi
    I don't plan on playing
    all nine innings today.
[09:15] Mi
    So you can go all out from the start.
[09:20] Mi
    Want to strike out everyone?
[09:26] Fu
    Miyuki-senpai.
[09:29] Fu
    That was the plan all along.
[09:40] Mi
    Sheesh...
[09:43] Mi
    He hasn't changed a single bit.
[09:48] C1
    That pitcher's a first-year.
[09:50] C2
    Where's the ace, Tanba?
[09:53] C3
    This is an important first game.
[09:55] C4
    If they lose here, it's over,
[09:56] C4
    so are they willing to risk it?
[10:06] EC
    He can't even catch properly.
[10:09] EC
    That first-year's so nervous.
[10:12] EC
    He might just knock
    himself out throwing balls.
[10:18] EC
    Listen well.
[10:19] EC
    Don't swing unless it's a meatball.
[10:32] Um
    Play!
[10:35] Mi
    You're standing rather close to the plate.
[10:37] Mi
    I wouldn't do that...
[10:40] Mi
    Now then...
[10:42] Mi
    Will Furuya's start...
[10:45] Mi
    ...turn out well...
[10:47] Mi
    ...or badly?
[11:22] Um
    S-Strike!
[11:26] C1
    Wow! What was that pitch?
[11:28] C2
    Is he really a first-year?
[11:31] C3
    How fast was that?
[11:36] Um
    Strike!
[11:37] EC
    You idiot!
[11:39] EC
    Those are all high balls!
[11:40] EC
    Don't swing!
[11:43] E1
    What in the world?
[11:45] E1
    I've never even seen
    this from a machine.
[11:49] E1
    I'm scared just standing here.
[11:55] EC
    I'm telling you!
[11:59] EC
    Don't swing at the high pitches!
[12:03] Um
    Strike!
[12:04] Um
    Batter out!
[12:09] Ka
    All right!
[12:10] Ka
    Three for three!
[12:11] Ho
    All out from the start!
[12:14] Ka
    Look!
[12:15] Ka
    Our opponent looks lost!
[12:18] Yu
    Nice pitch.
[12:19] Ry
    Nice pitch.
[12:20] Ku
    Nice one, Furuya.
[12:21] Ku
    Though they were mostly balls!
[12:26] Mi
    He's not even nervous.
[12:28] Mi
    He's more fired up than usual.
[12:31] Mi
    Maybe it's thanks to what
    the coach told him.
[12:37] (Flashback) Ka
    Furuya.
[12:38] (Flashback) Ka
    Do you understand what it means
    to have Kawakami behind you?
[12:44] (Flashback) Ka
    Just because you're starting
[12:46] (Flashback) Ka
    doesn't mean you have
    to shoulder everything.
[12:50] (Flashback) Ka
    Just do what you can.
[12:54] (Flashback) Ka
    Throw with confidence.
[12:56] (Flashback) Ka
    You have the strength to be trusted
    with our important first game.
[13:02] Fu
    Have the strength...
[13:05] Fu
    Have the strength.
[13:06] Fu
    Have the strength.
[13:07] Fu
    Have the strength.
[13:08] (Flashback) Sa
    Stop recalling it!
[13:11] Mi
    It's good to have spirit,
[13:13] Mi
    but he's throwing way too high.
[13:16] Mi
    It may be fine today,
[13:18] Mi
    but we'll have trouble later on.
[13:23] E1
    Wh-What is with him?
[13:26] E2
    Is he a monster?
[13:28] EC
    What are you doing?
[13:29] EC
    Hurry up and get out onto the field!
[13:31] EE
    Yes, sir!
[13:36] EC
    You have to switch gears in your heads.
[13:38] EC
    If you defend tenaciously,
[13:40] EC
    a path will open up for you.
[13:44] EC
    Chiba's Art of War,
[13:48] EC
    Final Chapter.
[13:51] EC
    Always be optimistic.
[14:08] Ka
    Hit it long, Yuki!
[14:11] Ka
    Yuki! Yuki!
[14:24] Sa
    The shortstop is right by the second base.
[14:28] Is
    What an extreme right-side shift.
[14:31] Is
    Are they only going to throw
    to the outside for the righties?
[14:35] Sa
    It's possible that they might just walk him.
[14:40] Ka
    Boys, take a good look at Yuki's batting.
[14:56] E1
    Throw to the edge of the strike zone.
[14:59] E1
    If we end up walking him, it's fine.
[15:07] Um
    Ball.
[15:13] E1
    He didn't even bat an eye.
[15:17] E1
    Crap.
[15:18] E1
    It's a little in!
[15:26] E2
    I knew it was coming, but...
[15:30] E2
    ...it was too fast.
[15:33] C1
    It went through the outfield!
[15:35] C2
    A strong hit that went
    between the right-side shift!
[15:38] Ma
    Yeah! First hit!
[15:40] Ma
    Nice hit, Tetsu!
[15:42] Ku
    Tetsu-san!
[15:44] Ka
    We don't need a long fly.
[15:47] Ka
    Hit low and strong,
[15:49] Ka
    and obliterate their defense.
[15:58] Ma
    All right!
[15:59] Ma
    Two hits in a row!
[16:00] Ku
    No outs and runners on first and third!
[16:03] C1
    Miyuki!
[16:05] C1
    Let's do this, Miyuki!
[16:07] C1
    Miyuki!
[16:15] E1
    Damn.
[16:16] E1
    I thought they'd swing wider,
[16:19] E1
    but they're swinging to connect.
[16:22] E1
    They might even make a squeeze play.
[16:27] E1
    A breaking ball for the first pitch.
[16:30] E1
    Throw it inside and low,
    in case they squeeze.
[16:40] Mi
    Aim and swing.
[16:48] E1
    He came to hit the first pitch?
[16:51] E1
    It's a super low ball!
[16:56] Sa
    It's over!
[16:58] C1
    The third base runner is safe at home!
[17:00] C2
    First base runner's
    slowly getting to third!
[17:07] Sa
    Yeah! First run!
[17:09] Ha
    Nice run, Masuko-senpai!
[17:11] Ya
    Three hits in a row!
[17:13] Is
    Miyuki's taking all the spotlight!
[17:17] Ry
    Though he only hits when there are runners.
[17:20] Ku
    Freaking Miyuki.
[17:21] Ku
    He was totally aiming for that pitch...
[17:23] Ku
    ...that I struck out on.
[17:26] E1
    What are they thinking?
[17:29] E1
    Are they a team that just hits hard?
[17:36] E1
    Squeeze on the first pitch?
[17:41] E1
    Ball to first!
[17:48] Ka
    Yeah, second run!
[17:49] Ka
    Nice bunt, Shirasu-senpai!
[17:51] Ho
    And Masuko-senpai
    is faster than he looks!
[17:55] Ha
    Yay!
[18:10] Sa
    Wow!
[18:12] Sa
    Runners are coming home,
    one after another!
[18:15] Sa
    I can't stand around, either.
[18:18] Sa
    Harucchi!
[18:19] Sa
    Let's go play catch!
[18:21] Ha
    Are you playing today?
[18:23] Sa
    That, I don't know!
[18:26] Sa
    But it's hot today,
[18:28] Sa
    and who knows when Furuya might die.
[18:32] Ha
    D-Die?
[18:34] Sa
    Either way...
[18:36] Sa
    It's not like I'll get
    in trouble for warming up.
[18:43] Ha
    What an optimist.
[18:45] Ha
    This is one thing...
[18:47] Ha
    ...I can learn from him.
SIGN    Seido Maimon
[19:17] Ot
    They looked a little
    tense in the beginning,
[19:20] Ot
    but Furuya's pitching and
    Yuki's hit pushed everyone's back.
SIGN    Warm
SIGN    Warm
[19:25] Ot
    The opponents are still
    swinging late to Furuya's pitch.
[19:30] Ot
    So if we have ten runs
    up after five innings,
[19:32] Ot
    the game will be called, right?
[19:34] Ot
    Maybe Furuya can finish the game.
[19:37] Ka
    No.
[19:38] Ka
    Even if we have short games,
[19:40] Ka
    we're cycling pitchers this summer.
[19:43] Ka
    Have Kawakami ready to go anytime.
[19:46] Ot
    Y-Yes, sir.
[19:48] Mi
    Furuya's getting strikes with high balls.
[19:53] Mi
    Once the batters stop swinging at them,
[19:55] Mi
    he'll have to throw more.
[19:58] Mi
    His pitching isn't going to work
    against the higher-level schools
[20:02] Mi
    that practice with 150 km/h machines.
[20:05] Mi
    The coach understands that.
[20:13] Sa
    I feel great!
[20:14] Sa
    I only feel this great
    once every four years!
[20:19] Ha
    As frequent as the Olympics?
[20:21] Ha
    That's not good.
[20:25] Sa
    I'm ready to go anytime!
[20:31] Ot
    There's a boy who's been
    calling for attention.
[20:35] Ch
    I'm sorry.
[20:37] Ka
    Hey, Sawamura!
[20:39] Ka
    Stop idling around when
    you're not playing!
[20:41] Ka
    You're embarrassing the team!
[20:42] Ho
    Go back to the dugout!
[20:45] Ka
    Hey, you're gonna get tired
    if you throw so much here.
[20:48] Sa
    I'll be fine, sir!
[20:50] Sa
    I want to fight!
[20:54] Ha
    I think his pitch is moving more than usual.
[21:06] (Flashback) Ch
    This is going to be the last thing...
[21:09] (Flashback) Ch
    ...I'll be able to teach you.
[21:14] Sa
    I didn't understand what he meant then,
[21:18] Sa
    but now I see.
[21:21] Sa
    This is the last tournament
    for the third-years.
[21:25] Sa
    The moment we lose,
    they're done with the team.
[21:36] Ya
    Sawamura.
[21:38] Ya
    The coach wants you.
[21:41] Sa
    What does he want?
[21:42] Sa
    I was having a nice time throwing.
[21:46] Ka
    You're going in next inning, Sawamura.
[21:50] Is
    Seriously?
SIGN    Shock
[21:53] Ka
    You're ready, right?
[22:01] Sa
    Y-Yes, sir!
[23:35] Mi
    Coach Kataoka is determined to get
    through this summer cycling pitchers,
[23:39] Mi
    and he's sending Sawamura
    out to the mound.
[23:41] EC
    Boys!
[23:42] EC
    Don't give up! Show them
    that we have some spine!
[23:45] Mi
    As the other team plays desperately,
[23:47] Mi
    how will you pitch?
[23:49] Sa
    Now that I'm standing here,
[23:50] Sa
    I can't lose heart!
[23:52] Sa
    Let's go!
[23:53] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Official Game Debut.
SIGN    Official Game Debut
[23:56] Mi
    Let's win the national title!
