[00:04] E1
    Straight to the pitcher!
[00:06] E2
    Nice pitch, Shun!
[00:10] Sh
    He followed my breaking ball
    with determination alone.
[00:18] Sh
    You guys live up to
    the prestigious name.
[00:21] Sh
    All of the batters swing with confidence.
[00:29] Sh
    One more run.
[00:32] Sh
    In order to shut down
    this team completely,
[00:35] Sh
    we need another run.
[00:44] Mi
    This is bad.
[00:46] Mi
    It's getting hotter.
SIGN    I'm Not Running
SIGN    Akikawa Seido
[02:38] Ka
    So his pitch count is over sixty now?
[02:41] Ch
    Yes.
[02:42] Ch
    At this rate, he'll reach 100
     by the fifth inning.
[02:44] Ch
    It's a difficult situation.
[02:46] Ch
    It's getting hotter, as well,
[02:48] Ch
    so we don't know how long he'll last.
[02:50] Ot
    We can't give up any more runs.
[02:52] Ot
    Though it's still early on,
[02:53] Ot
    we should think about switching him out.
[02:55] Ot
    I know! Get Kawakami!
[02:56] Ot
    Let's get Kawakami!
[03:04] Mi
    They're starting with the seventh batter.
[03:07] Mi
    Don't put any extra force into it, Furuya.
[03:10] Mi
    No one's hit your fastball yet.
[03:20] Sa
    Safety!
[03:24] Fu
    Or not?
[03:27] Mi
    Damn.
[03:28] Mi
    Not only are they
    making him throw more,
[03:30] Mi
    they're trying to tire
    him out with bunts.
[03:35] Mi
    Are they planning
    to completely crush him?
[03:42] Sh
    Of course.
[03:44] Sh
    A small nation will use whatever
    it takes to defeat a large nation.
[03:48] Sh
    The sooner they switch pitchers,
[03:50] Sh
    the more this game is ours.
[03:55] Sh
    And their ace hasn't
    pitched in any games yet.
[04:00] Sh
    We have to drag their team's
    worry out onto the field.
[04:16] R1
    Every time they try to bunt,
    the pitcher has to run forward.
[04:19] R1
    It's not a pretty strategy,
    but it must be tough for the pitcher.
[04:22] Sa
    Hey, Furuya!
[04:24] Sa
    Stop getting flung around
    by their bunt stance!
[04:26] Ka
    Kokudokan did the same to you,
    if my memory serves me right.
[04:30] Ch
    Even if he knows it in his head,
    his body reacts on its own.
[04:34] Ch
    I just hope it doesn't make him stiff again.
[04:39] Mi
    Throw like you're going to make him bunt!
[04:45] Ka
    If Furuya allows a runner
    this inning, I'm switching him.
[04:50] Ka
    I assume the Ichidai team
    is watching from the bleachers.
[04:54] Ka
    We can't afford to show
    his weakness any further.
[04:59] Ch
    He's right.
[05:01] Ch
    If Furuya gets completely
    crushed in this game,
[05:03] Ch
    it'll be harder to use him
    down the road.
[05:06] Ot
    It's Kawakami, right?
[05:08] Ot
    It'll be a long relief for him,
[05:10] Ot
    but we don't have anyone else.
[05:12] Ka
    No, it's still early in the game.
[05:15] Ka
    If we use Kawakami now,
    we'll fall right into their trap.
[05:19] Ot
    B-But we don't have anyone else
    who could pitch in this...
[05:26] Ot
    D-Don't tell me...
[05:30] Ot
    What?
[05:32] Ot
    Are you serious?
[05:34] Ka
    Yes. I'm sending Sawamura out.
[05:37] Ka
    Kominato, go tell Sawamura.
[05:40] Ha
    Y-Yes, sir.
[05:43] Ha
    Eijun-kun is switching
    with Furuya-kun...
[05:46] Ha
    Wow! This is getting intense!
[05:50] Ch
    He's using Sawamura
    instead of Kawakami.
[05:53] Ch
    When he showed himself last night,
    was he already thinking about this switch?
[05:58] Ch
    Thinking "we still have Kawakami left"
    instead of "we only have Kawakami left"
[06:03] Ch
    will completely change the mentality
    of the players on the field.
[06:07] Ch
    The coach knows that our batters are
    more than capable of taking back this game.
[06:13] Ch
    Now it rests on him to live up
    to the coach's expectations.
[06:18] Sa
    Me?
[06:19] Sa
    Me? Really?
[06:20] Ha
    Once he allows a runner.
[06:22] Sa
    All right! Let's go!
[06:24] Ka
    Wait! Stop!
[06:25] Ha
    Not until he allows a runner!
[06:29] Mi
    The reserves are moving around.
[06:34] Mi
    Is it almost time to switch Furuya?
[06:40] Mi
    Well, we don't really have a choice.
[06:43] Mi
    We can't let him be crushed in this game.
[06:48] E1
    He's already exhausted.
[06:51] E1
    Don't hate us.
[06:53] E1
    We're desperate, too.
[06:59] E1
    Strike!
[07:01] E1
    Batter out!
[07:02] E1
    What the...
[07:04] E1
    He got even faster?
[07:07] Ha
    Look! One out!
[07:08] Ha
    Furuya-kun's not giving up the mound.
[07:11] Mi
    You didn't let him bunt.
[07:13] Mi
    You shut him down by force instead.
[07:17] Mi
    Man, you're really stupid.
[07:24] Is
    You idiot...
[07:29] Sa
    Furuya...
[07:41] Sh
    He's still a dumb first-year.
[07:43] Sh
    It's like he wants us to crush him.
[07:47] Sh
    If that's what you want,
    we're not holding back.
[07:52] Fu
    I can't let this team's summer end here.
[07:58] Fu
    I'm throwing until the end!
[08:05] Um
    Strike!
[08:06] Um
    Batter out!
[08:09] Sa
    Furuya.
[08:18] Mi
    Furuya, just one more.
[08:21] Mi
    Fight it out right here!
[08:29] Um
    Ball four!
[08:35] Mi
    So he can't relax, even with his forkball.
[08:39] C1
    Oh! He gave away a walk!
[08:41] C2
    Such a waste after getting two outs!
[08:44] Sa
    He allowed a runner!
[08:48] Ka
    Time out, please.
[08:52] Ka
    Miyuki, pitcher change.
[08:57] C1
    They're switching him out already?
[08:59] C2
    Isn't it too soon?
[09:01] C2
    It's still the fourth inning.
[09:02] E1
    Yeah!
[09:03] E1
    We sent that fastball pitcher down!
[09:07] E2
    Who's up next?
[09:08] E2
    The side thrower? Or is it the ace?
[09:10] Sh
    No.
[09:12] Sh
    The ace hasn't thrown in the bullpen yet.
[09:19] Sa
    Furuya.
[09:21] Ha
    Hey, Eijun-kun.
[09:23] Ha
    You're up.
[09:24] Sa
    Y-Yeah...
[09:28] Ka
    Sawamura.
[09:31] Ka
    I'm right behind you.
[09:33] Ka
    Go crazy out there.
[09:35] Ha
    Good luck!
[09:39] An
    Seido High School has called
    for a change in players.
[09:44] Ka
    They're bringing in Kawakami-senpai.
[09:46] Ka
    It'll be a long game for him,
[09:48] Ka
    but we don't have a choice in this game.
[09:51] An
    Replacing Number 9, Furuya-kun...
[09:56] An
    ...Sawamura-kun as pitcher.
[09:58] An
    Sawamura-kun as pitcher.
[10:03] Ma
    Hey...
[10:04] Ma
    What are you doing there...
[10:08] Ma
    ...Sawamura?
[10:11] R1
    Another first-year pitcher?
[10:13] R1
    Even the Seido bleachers look quiet.
[10:17] R2
    That pitcher with an interesting form.
[10:21] R2
    A very aggressive player
    when they're behind in runs.
[10:24] R2
    Is he that reliable?
[10:28] R2
    Or are they super tight on pitchers?
[10:34] Sa
    Furuya, the ball.
[10:42] Sa
    Hey! Don't ignore me right now!
[10:48] Yu
    It's an order from the dugout.
[10:50] Yu
    Switch with him, Furuya.
[10:55] Ku
    Hey!
[10:58] Ku
    Furuya!
[11:02] Ka
    Furuya...
[11:04] Ha
    Furuya-kun...
[11:07] Um
    What's wrong?
[11:08] Um
    Hurry up with the switch.
[11:10] Ot
    C-Coach, Furuya's not
    coming off the mound.
[11:15] Ch
    Furuya...
[11:29] Sa
    Furuya, the ball.
[11:32] Yu
    It's an order from the dugout.
[11:34] Yu
    Switch with him, Furuya.
[11:38] Ha
    Furuya-kun...
[11:44] C1
    What's going on?
[11:45] C1
    Are they not switching?
[11:48] Ku
    We'll turn the game around.
[11:51] Ry
    You're way too selfish for a first-year.
[11:53] Ku
    Go rest in the dugout.
[11:56] Ku
    You listening?
[11:58] Mi
    I asked for forkballs,
    but you couldn't relax,
[12:02] Mi
    and your fastballs are only getting higher.
[12:06] Mi
    Even if you keep throwing,
    you'll drag the team down.
[12:10] Mi
    Now hurry up and get off the mound.
[12:20] Sa
    Furuya.
[12:27] Sa
    You can't get off the mound after
    allowing runs because of your mistake.
[12:32] Sa
    That's what you're thinking, right?
[12:35] Sa
    But...
[12:37] Sa
    ...this...
[12:38] Sa
    ...is a team battle.
[12:44] Sa
    I'll carry on your frustration.
[12:49] Sa
    Leave the rest to me!
[13:19] Fu
    I hate you, for some reason.
[13:21] Sa
    Wh-What did you say?
[13:23] Fu
    I hate you!
[13:24] Sa
    Don't repeat it!
[13:26] Fu
    Wow, I'm tired.
[13:30] Mi
    He ended up getting replaced,
[13:32] Mi
    but he didn't let us down.
[13:35] Mi
    No matter how tired he was,
[13:37] Mi
    he tried to throw until the end.
[13:52] Mi
    We've inherited...
[13:54] Mi
    ...your spirit.
[14:00] C1
    Hey, man.
[14:01] C1
    What happened?
[14:02] C2
    Is Seido all right?
[14:04] C3
    Some miscommunication with the dugout?
[14:06] E1
    Damn! A southpaw?
[14:08] E2
    He's a first-year, too.
[14:10] E1
    Damn it.
[14:11] E1
    How many players do they have?
[14:13] E1
    They don't need to use their ace against us?
[14:18] Sh
    No.
[14:20] Sh
    After this switch, I'm certain of it now.
[14:23] Sh
    Their ace won't be playing this game.
[14:33] Ku
    Man, you're pitching in this situation?
[14:36] Ku
    The coach must be a daredevil.
[14:39] Ry
    You sounded too cool just now.
[14:42] Ku
    Don't act like a hero here, you prick!
[14:45] Sa
    Why me?
[14:46] Ry
    But the coach probably
    respects your intensity.
[14:51] Yu
    Most likely.
[14:53] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[14:55] Ku
    What are you guys talking about?
[14:58] Mi
    Well, well. They were all there?
[15:00] Mi
    Last night...
[15:04] (Flashback) Ka
    It's not safe!
[15:06] (Flashback) Ka
    That helmet won't save you!
[15:10] Mi
    I'm glad I came
    to check on him.
[15:11] Mi
    It's looking very interesting.
[15:14] (Flashback) Ka
    What's wrong?
[15:16] (Flashback) Ka
    Hurry up and pitch.
[15:19] (Flashback) Ka
    Are you afraid of hitting me?
[15:23] Ka
    So much pressure.
[15:26] Ka
    I couldn't throw here.
[15:28] Ka
    But if he can throw to the
    inside under this pressure...
[15:35] Ka
    Oh, are you throwing, Sawamura?
[15:41] Sa
    If I run away here,
[15:43] Sa
    there's no way I can throw
    in a first-string game!
[15:47] Sa
    I can't run away!
[15:58] Mi
    Last one!
[15:59] E1
    His speed is a lot slower
    than the last guy's.
[16:04] E2
    What should we do, Coach?
[16:05] E2
    Should we see how he throws first?
[16:08] EC
    No, you've all done enough waiting.
[16:12] EC
    Let's get aggressive from here.
[16:16] Sh
    Nino.
[16:17] ---
    Yeah?
[16:18] Sh
    If you can put a dent in this pitcher,
[16:21] Sh
    it'll help us win even more.
[16:27] E1
    Just tell me to score
    without beating around the bush.
[16:30] E2
    You've got this, Nino!
[16:32] E3
    Don't miss his meatballs!
[16:35] E1
    Leave it all to me!
[16:36] EC
    We sure will! You know...
[16:37] E3
    Hit it!
[16:39] R1
    The Akikawa dugout looks
    energetic, as always.
[16:42] R2
    We're in the mid-game,
    but it's a two-run difference.
[16:46] R2
    Seido must want to end
    this inning quickly
[16:49] R2
    and connect it to their next attack.
[16:52] R2
    Let's see if they can change
    the tides with this new pitcher.
[17:08] E1
    Try to get the pitcher's attention, Takada.
[17:13] E1
    I'll aim for right between first and second.
[17:16] E1
    If he gives me a meatball, I'll pull it hard.
[17:21] Mi
    Hey, you look stiff.
[17:24] Mi
    You didn't need to inherit
    Furuya's stiffness, you know?
[17:27] Mi
    Throw once to first and look around.
[17:31] Sa
    I forgot to stare at the runner.
[17:37] Ka
    You idiot!
[17:45] C1
    That was close!
[17:46] P1
    Hey, what are you doing?
[17:47] Ka
    Where are you throwing?
[17:48] Ma
    Get it together!
[17:50] Is
    Calm down, idiot!
[17:51] Ku
    Or we'll kick you off the mound!
[17:54] R1
    Wow...
[17:55] R1
    His teammates are merciless.
[17:57] Ot
    Look at that!
[17:59] Ot
    He's bound to screw something up for us!
[18:01] Ot
    We should change
    to Kawakami before it happens.
[18:03] Ot
    Coa—
[18:08] Ot
    Why does he trust him so much?
[18:16] Ku
    It's too late to do that now!
[18:18] Ka
    Do that before you throw!
[18:21] Mi
    Wow! That was close.
[18:23] Mi
    He's a real pain in the ass, too.
[18:26] Mi
    But now that you're on the mound,
[18:29] Mi
    I can't just give up on you.
[18:31] Mi
    Give me a four-seamer to the inside.
[18:37] Mi
    You can, can't you?
[18:41] Sa
    Let's see...
[18:42] Mi
    Hey, stop!
[18:43] Mi
    Don't blatantly
    affirm your grip!
[18:47] Mi
    It's the pitch you
    threw to the coach.
[18:59] (Flashback) Ka
    He threw without hesitation...
[19:02] (Flashback) Ka
    ...right into the coach's chest.
[19:05] (Flashback) Ka
    What kind of heart
    does he have?
[19:11] (Flashback) Ka
    So that's the four-seamer?
[19:14] (Flashback) Ch
    Yes, but he still
    misthrows sometimes.
[19:19] (Flashback) Ka
    It's a nice pitch with spirit.
[19:27] Mi
    Come!
[19:30] E1
    The first pitch.
[19:31] E1
    I'll pull it hard!
[19:37] E1
    First pitch!
[19:44] Sh
    He swung late?
[19:46] Sh
    It wasn't even that fast!
[19:48] Um
    Strike!
[19:51] Ka
    Yes!
[19:54] Yu
    Nice pitch.
[19:56] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[19:58] Is
    So you do have it in you!
[20:00] Ku
    Let's get aggressive!
[20:01] Ry
    Nice.
[20:11] E1
    What the hell?
[20:15] E1
    His pitch...
[20:25] E2
    What are you doing, Nino?
[20:27] E3
    His pitch is slow!
[20:29] E4
    Eyes on the ball!
[20:34] E1
    Damn it!
[20:35] E1
    It's seriously hard to time it right.
[20:41] E1
    His left arm is hidden behind his body,
[20:46] E1
    and then...
[20:51] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[20:53] E1
    Did that one... move?
[20:56] Sa
    Yes!
[20:58] MM
    Third!
[21:01] P1
    Wow! He got an out!
[21:04] P2
    S-Sawamura got an out
    without allowing a runner!
[21:08] Sa
    Yes!
[21:11] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[21:13] Sa
    Yes! Yes!
[21:13] Ku
    Shut up!
[21:14] Mi
    A moving right after a fastball.
[21:17] Mi
    Just what I ordered.
[21:19] Mi
    Though his control's
    still weak.
[21:22] Ch
    He carried on Furuya's spirit
    and threw with his heart.
[21:26] Ch
    Shutting them down with
    the first batter here was big.
[21:29] Ka
    That brat!
[21:31] Ka
    He's gaining confidence because
    the coach acknowledged him.
[21:34] Ha
    Nice pitching, Eijun-kun!
[21:38] Ha
    Wow! Sawamura-kun!
[21:42] Ot
    It was his first relief with a runner on base.
[21:46] Ot
    But what guts he has...
[21:54] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[21:56] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[21:57] Sa
    Yes! Yes!
[21:58] Ku
    Shut up!
[23:36] Ha
    Takako-senpai, Sawamura-kun
    got us out of a pinch!
[23:39] Fu
    We can't relax yet, Haruno.
[23:40] Na
    It's still the fourth inning.
[23:42] Sa
    I'll give it all I've got!
[23:43] Sa
    Look how powerful I've become!
[23:45] Um
    Listen to what he's saying...
[23:46] Fu
    Then how about we look back
    and see how much he's grown?
[23:49] Ha
    Okay!
[23:50] Sa
    Wait, what?
[23:51] Ha
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Path, Eijun Sawamura to the Scorching Mound.
SIGN    Path, Eijun Sawamura to the Scorching Mound
[23:56] MM
    Let's win the national title!
