    Game set!
[00:04] S1
    He took out the last batter
    with one pitch!
[00:07] S2
    He pitched until the end!
[00:09] S3
    We're in the semifinals!
[00:14] SS
    Good game!
[00:17] Ku
    Hurry up! And don't forget anything!

    Maki.
[00:29] TM
    Hey, Maki!
[00:30] TM
    Don't stand in front of the door.
[00:32] TM
    You're in their way.
[00:34] TM
    Don't space out, big man.
[00:39] TM
    You made the semifinals
    without your ace.
[00:41] TM
    Your team's in great shape.
[00:44] Ka
    Thank you.
[00:45] Ka
    It's the result of the players
    thinking and acting on their own.
[00:49] TM
    Is that so?
[00:51] TM
    Stop bragging to your
    potential next opponent.
[00:56] TM
    I'm so envious.

[02:33] Yu
    Nice calls out there.
[02:34] Yu
    The change-up timing was perfect.
[02:37] Mi
    Tetsu-san.
[02:38] Sa
    M-Master!
[02:40] Sa
    You were here today?
[02:41] Ch
    Yeah.
[02:42] Ch
    I was watching it from the first inning.
[02:44] Sa
    Thank you!
[02:47] Ch
    You've gotten really good.
[02:50] Sa
    Oh, is that so?
[02:51] Sa
    I was thinking maybe I had,
    and I was right.
[02:55] Sa
    I've gotten really good.
[02:57] Sa
    I got Chris-senpai's
    seal of approval!
[03:01] S1
    How about you shut up now, Sawamura?
[03:03] Sa
    In addition to the low-and-away
    you taught me,
[03:06] Sa
    I've got a change-up now!
[03:08] Sa
    Eijun Sawamura is a true man!
[03:10] Sa
    I evolve nonstop every day.
[03:13] Sa
    I don't know what to say.
[03:15] Sa
    In any case, I'm afraid
    of my own talent.
[03:18] S1
    No matter how well you pitch,
    you're still stupid.
[03:21] S2
    Well, that's comforting.
[03:27] Ha
    Who's that?
[03:28] Ha
    Someone you know?
[03:34] To
    Your grandpa?
[03:35] Ha
    He came to watch?
[03:38] Ka
    Wait. From Hokkaido?
[03:40] Re
    Your grandfather
    lives in Tokyo, right?
[03:44] Re
    You moved to Hokkaido
    due to your parents' work,
[03:47] Re
    but you're originally
    from here, right?
[03:49] SS
    I see.
SIGN    I see
[03:51] Re
    I heard he's been to nationals, too.
[03:56] [SONG] On-screen
    Everyone is
    unexpectedly curious.
[03:56] S1
    Huh... Tell me more.
[03:59] S2
    Which school did he attend?
[04:01] To
    So did he teach you baseball?
[04:04] Ku
    It's too bad you couldn't play
    with him watching.
[04:11] Ku
    I'm close with my grandpa, too.
[04:22] (Flashback) FG
    You're just gonna watch from here?
[04:28] (Flashback) FG
    Are you afraid to join them
[04:32] (Flashback) FG
    because you might get
    treated as an outcast?
[04:36] (Flashback) FG
    Don't just stand and wait for someone
    to pull you away from the sidelines.
[04:40] (Flashback) FG
    It doesn't happen.
[04:45] (Flashback) FG
    Don't close your heart.
[04:48] (Flashback) FG
    Express your will.
[04:51] (Flashback) FG
    If you truly want something,
    I'll be on your side.
[05:02] [SONG] On-screen
    Expressing his will
[05:03] Ot
    I get it, Furuya!
[05:05] Ot
    Do your best next game!
[05:06] Ot
    You're our ace, after all!
[05:09] S1
    I see.
[05:10] S1
    He was able to come out to Tokyo
    because of his grandpa.
[05:15] S2
    Yeah! Makes sense!
[05:16] S1
    I guess it makes sense.
[05:18] S1
    His parents wouldn't let him
    come out on his own.
[05:29] Sa
    Grandpa, huh?
[05:32] (Flashback) SG
    Don't get conceited!
[05:34] Sa
    What?
[05:44] C1
    So close!
[05:45] C1
    But not enough!
[05:46] C2
    It was a big hit, though.
[05:48] T1
    Nice, Maki!
[05:49] T2
    That's our ace!
[05:51] T3
    Three for three again!
[05:53] TC
    You're pitching way too hard already.
[05:56] TC
    You're not gonna last until the end.
[05:58] TC
    And it's too soon to be
    pumping your fist.
[06:03] TC
    The game just started,
    but he's dripping wet.
[06:08] U1
    I thought I had it.
[06:10] U1
    So close!
[06:11] U2
    Not even!
[06:13] U2
    I'd hit that far with a love tap!
[06:16] U3
    I'd only need the wind.
[06:18] U1
    Wind? Shut up, stupid!
[06:21] TC
    Those guys have strong builds,
[06:24] TC
    and they're all swinging hard.
[06:27] TC
    He must feel immense pressure.
[06:30] UC
    All right! Stay sharp on defense!
[06:33] UC
    Did I tell you?
[06:34] UC
    Coach Kumakiri's watching
    from the stands today.
[06:37] UC
    If you mess up, you're gonna get it.
[06:42] U1
    Kumamon's here today?
[06:43] U2
    Where? Where?
[06:45] U3
    Are you serious?
[06:46] UC
    Don't get flustered!
[06:47] UC
    Get out there already!
[06:50] C1
    Did Seiko change their style?
[06:53] C2
    Is Coach Kumakiri in the dugout?
[06:56] C2
    I can't hear his voice.
[06:58] C3
    He took responsbility for their loss
    in the summer and stepped down.
[07:03] C4
    Seriously?
[07:04] C5
    Well, the team had
    a bunch of star players.
[07:07] C6
    I heard he was suspended.
[07:09] C7
    Oga-san's in charge of
    the fall tournament.
[07:18] Ha
    That pitch looks heavy.
[07:19] Mi
    Despite his physique,
    his sliders are good.
[07:26] U1
    Nice! Strike out!
[07:29] U2
    Our ace is dead even with their ace!
[07:31] U2
    Three for three!
[07:33] C1
    Is it gonna be a pitchers' battle?
[07:35] TC
    I told them not to swing at that.
[07:38] TC
    What are they doing?
[07:45] TC
    This is a test of endurance, Maki.
[07:48] TC
    Overcome games like this,
    and get even better.
[07:54] Wa
    They're dead even from the start.
SIGN    Seiko Sensen
[07:57] Wa
    The first run could play
    a key role this game.
[08:19] C1
    It's gone!
[08:21] C2
    Wow!
[08:23] U1
    Let's go!
[08:24] C3
    Their cleanup, Nakata,
    hit a huge one!
[08:40] C4
    It's gone!
[08:41] C4
    Three home runs in a row!
[08:43] U2
    Let's go!
[08:45] C5
    They took down the giant!
[08:48] [SONG] On-screen
    Meiji Jingu Sub Stadium
[09:01] C1
    A double play!
[09:03] C2
    Nice play!
[09:03] C3
    What a catch by the second baseman!
[09:06] T1
    Nice!
[09:07] C4
    That's a big help for Maki.
[09:09] TC
    That's it.
[09:11] TC
    Nice catch.
[09:13] TC
    You guys need to support Maki
    with your defense.
[09:16] TC
    Get some runs while you're at it, too.
[09:22] U1
    Damn!
[09:23] U1
    I'll hit it through his glove next time!
[09:25] U2
    No, hit the glove out of the park.
[09:28] C1
    6-3 after the top of the eighth.
[09:31] C1
    Seiko's leading by three.
SIGN    Seiko Sensen
[09:33] C2
    Two more innings.
[09:34] C2
    Can Sensen come back?
[09:36] T1
    It's not over yet.
[09:38] T1
    Let's do this, Yosuke.
[09:40] Mi
    I thought the three home runs
    had settled the game, but...
[09:44] S1
    Three runs are more than possible.
[09:47] S2
    I'm impressed they held their ground.
[09:48] Ka
    The Seiko players are so huge.
[09:52] Ka
    How much do they eat?
SIGN    Seiko Academy has announced a change in players.
[10:00] UC
    Focus here!
SIGN    Ogawa-kun will replace Ihara-kun in center field as pitcher.
SIGN    Kojima-kun, playing pitcher, will play center field.
SIGN    Batting third and center fielder, Kojima-kun.
SIGN    Batting seventh and pitcher, Ogawa-kun.
[10:18] U1
    Easy peasy.
[10:19] Sa
    The new one's even bigger!
[10:22] Ha
    The catcher looks even smaller now.
[10:27] U2
    Sensen's still fighting strong.
[10:29] U2
    Don't take them easy, Yone.
[10:31] U2
    We'll take them out one at a time.
[10:35] U1
    Masu-san, why am I not the starter?
[10:40] U1
    I don't think I get along well
    with Ogacchi.
[10:42] U2
    It's because you messed
    with your eyebrows!
[10:44] U1
    Doesn't it look nice?
[10:45] U2
    No!
[10:48] U2
    Fielders, stay focused!
[10:50] U2
    He's gonna need you!
[10:52] U3
    Yeah!
[10:53] U4
    Leave it to us!
[10:54] U1
    Where's the faith?
[10:56] U2
    If you want faith, then get the outs!
[11:14] S1
    He throws fast.
[11:16] S2
    Seiko still has a pitcher like this?
[11:19] Ku
    He's a first-year, right?
[11:26] Um
    Ball four!
[11:28] U1
    Hey, stupid!
[11:29] U1
    Don't get cocky!
[11:30] U1
    What's with your control?
    It's way too high!
[11:33] U1
    Take it seriously!
[11:35] An
    Batting fifth and pitcher, Maki-kun.
[11:46] U1
    We're up by a few runs.
[11:47] U1
    If you want to be the ace,
    then take him out, Tsune!
[11:51] U2
    Yes, sir.
[11:52] U3
    We've got your back, Tsunematsu!
[11:55] U4
    Come on, Yosuke!
[11:57] T1
    Let's stay focused!
[11:59] T2
    Maki!
[12:01] T3
    I'll take back the runs I give up.
[12:05] T3
    That's how I've always played.
[12:09] T3
    But this time, I'll bat for the team.
[12:13] T3
    And trust the follow-up.
[12:21] T3
    I'm going to nationals with this team.
[12:31] C1
    Straight onto the fence!
[12:34] C2
    He's going for home!
[12:42] Um
    Out!
[12:47] C3
    What a beautiful relay!
[12:50] C4
    Seiko prevented the run!
[12:54] [SONG] On-screen
    Meiji Jingu Sub Stadium
[12:58] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[13:00] Um
    Game set!
[13:01] U1
    Yeah!
[13:02] U2
    Game over!
[13:04] Ma
    So they're our next opponent.
[13:13] R2
    After losing at the first round
    in the summer,
[13:16] R2
    they've bounced back
    to the semifinals.
[13:19] R1
    They took down Maki-kun
    with brute force.
[13:22] R1
    It's the complete opposite of Oya.
[13:25] R1
    It has to be tough for the pitchers
[13:26] R1
    with their batters
    swinging so energetically.
[13:29] R2
    Once they get rolling,
    they could really blow up the game.
[13:33] R2
    The next game will depend on
    breaking ball combinations and control.
[13:44] Mi
    Sawamura gave an impressive
    performance today.
[13:48] Mi
    Furuya and Sawamura.
[13:50] Mi
    How do I make use of those two
    extremely different pitchers?
[13:56] Oc
    The two first-years are
    strong-spirited and aggressive.
[14:00] Oc
    It's up to Miyuki to sway the batters,
[14:04] Oc
    but against batters who swing
    a lot, that one is most effective.
SIGN    The next day
SIGN    Kasuga Yakushi
[14:28] Mi
    Block C, Yakushi High School.
SIGN    Ichidai Saikai Kanda
[14:37] Mi
    Block D, Ichidai Third High School.
[14:40] Mi
    The usual members advanced
    to the semifinals.
SIGN    Seiko Academy
SIGN    Seido High School
SIGN    Yakushi High School
SIGN    Ichidai Third High School
[14:51] Mi
    The top four are finalized.
SIGN    Inashiro Vocational High School
[14:57] R1
    Kokai U Sagara High?
[14:59] R1
    Seriously?
[15:01] R1
    They didn't meet in the fall tournament, but...
[15:04] R2
    The fall tournament's
    busy with the semifinals.
[15:08] R1
    Well, this is an exciting match-up.
[15:18] C1
    Straight to right-center field!
[15:20] C2
    That's the second run
    this inning for Sagara!
[15:25] C3
    It's rare to see Narumiya
    giving up so many hits.
[15:27] C4
    So it was true he hasn't
    been doing well since summer.
[15:31] C5
    He pitched too much at nationals.
[15:33] C5
    He lost the fall tournament early on,
[15:36] C5
    so everyone thought
    he'd play in the sport festival,
[15:38] C5
    but he didn't.
[15:41] C6
    So he must be in really bad shape.
[16:01] Um
    Out!
[16:02] I1
    Yeah!
[16:03] I2
    Nice third!
[16:05] C1
    They somehow ended the inning.
[16:07] C2
    But that was a good hit, too.
[16:12] C3
    Did he change a bit?
[16:14] C4
    He seems more mature.
[16:17] Na
    Itsuki!
[16:19] Na
    Why did you ask for an outside there?
[16:22] It
    Oh, well.
[16:23] It
    The batter was standing
    far from the base,
[16:26] It
    so I thought an inside pitch
    would be easy to hit for him.
[16:30] Na
    He's standing back because
    he's afraid of the inside pitch.
[16:36] Na
    Throw a bunch of insides to batters like him.
[16:40] Na
    Until they get sick of it.
[16:46] Na
    What do you want?
[16:47] It
    Oh, well.
[16:49] It
    You weren't shaking your head
    at my calls at all,
[16:52] It
    so I was wondering why.
[16:59] It
    Are you trying to play on my level?
[17:05] It
    If you are, then please don't.
[17:13] It
    I know I'm not good enough yet,
[17:16] It
    but I'll get to where you are.
[17:20] I1
    Itsuki.
[17:22] It
    So please shake your head
    more selfishly!
[17:26] It
    I'll make the calls you want to see.
[17:33] Na
    Nosy, conceited, and overconfident!
[17:37] Na
    Following your calls
    is why we're down runs.
[17:43] Na
    You'll get to where I am?
[17:45] Na
    Like I'd let you catch me!
[17:47] Na
    No matter how much you improve,
[17:49] Na
    I'm gonna get even better!
[17:52] Na
    Way, way better!
[17:53] Na
    So much so you won't
    even be able to see me!
[17:56] It
    I'll keep chasing!
[17:57] It
    Until I see your back!
[17:58] Na
    What you'll see will
    just be an afterimage!
[18:00] Na
    Too bad, Itsuki!
    Just an afterimage!
[18:03] It
    Why are you being
    stubborn about this?
[18:05] C1
    Is the battery all right?
[18:08] It
    You're not a kid anymore!
[18:09] Na
    Yes, I am!
[18:10] Na
    High schoolers are kids!
[18:13] C1
    Oh, it's nothing unusual.
[18:16] C2
    The Tadano kid's doing his best to keep up.
[18:19] C3
    There aren't many people
    who can talk to Narumiya like that.
[18:37] (Flashback) I1
    Huh? Narumiya?
[18:39] (Flashback) I2
    What? He's back already?
[18:42] (Flashback) I3
    There goes our bet
    on how long he'd cry in bed.
[18:53] (Flashback) Na
    You guys have realized, too, haven't you?
[18:58] (Flashback) Na
    We were only able to do
    as we pleased until now because
[19:01] (Flashback) Na
    the third-years kept
    the whole team in check.
[19:07] (Flashback) Na
    The last team was really strong.
[19:10] (Flashback) Na
    But people might already
    be saying our team is lacking.
[19:22] (Flashback) Na
    So we've just gotta get what's lacking.
[19:25] (Flashback) Na
    We have so much to do,
    I have no time to be depressed.
[19:35] I3
    Well, he sure said it.
[19:39] I4
    Damn.
[19:55] I4
    Yeah!
[20:00] I4
    We came here because of
    Narumiya's invitation.
[20:06] I3
    But we never saw him as our leader.
[20:12] I5
    Yeah!
[20:13] Na
    What's going on now?
[20:16] II
    We can't lose.
[20:27] I1
    You seem to be trying
    some new things.
[20:30] Na
    Yeah.
[20:31] Na
    The coach scheduled a ton of practice
    games before the off-season.
[20:36] Na
    But Itsuki's stubborn,
     and he doesn't listen very well.
[20:41] Na
    It's tough to control
    a cheeky underclassman.
[20:44] I1
    You're one to talk.
[20:47] Na
    I wasn't even on his level
    when I was a first-year.
[20:49] I1
    You're still saying that?
[20:51] Na
    For the draft,
[20:53] Na
    you watch the TV with the coach
    and the principal, right?
[20:56] Na
    I heard a bunch of reporters come, too,
    so it sounds like a pain.
[21:00] I1
    Yeah.
[21:01] I1
    It is a bit of a pain.
[21:06] Na
    Well, wait for me over there.
[21:10] Na
    The national champion pitcher.
[21:13] Na
    I'll join you with that trophy.
[21:20] I1
    It's the path I've chosen.
[21:23] I1
    I'm ready to go to whoever wants me.
[21:26] Na
    Wow! So cool.
[21:30] I1
    I guess I didn't need to worry too much.
[21:34] I1
    He's already looking ahead.
[21:39] Na
    But you know,
[21:40] Na
    why do I end up falling so hard?
[21:44] I1
    What's wrong with it?
[21:46] I1
    Think of it as a learning experience.
[21:48] Na
    But it sucks.
[21:50] Na
    I can see everything
    I don't like about me.
[21:52] I1
    Don't worry.
[21:54] I1
    There's way more than
    what you're seeing.
[23:31] Mi
    The top four have been finalized,
[23:32] Mi
    and our next opponent is
    the batting team, Seiko Academy.
[23:35] Ma
    We gotta worry about our
    next opponent first.
[23:36] Ma
    We can talk about the final after we win.
[23:38] Ku
    Two more!
[23:39] Ku
