[00:03] Y1
    Red!
[00:05] Y1
    Good.
[00:05] Y2
    White!
[00:07] Y3
    Blue!
[00:09] YC
    Nice.
[00:10] YC
    You guys are getting the hang of it.
[00:13] YC
    Don't try to think about it.
[00:14] YC
    Just react to it.
[00:16] Y4
    White!
[00:18] YC
    That was just luck, Miss-shima!
[00:20] Y4
    N-No, it wasn't!
[00:22] YC
    Totally was.
[00:24] Y5
    Blue!
[00:25] Y6
    Red!
[00:34] Y7
    His swing always sounds so fearsome.
[00:38] YC
    Everyone's gonna have data
    on Raichi from now on,
[00:42] YC
    so it'll come down to you guys
    to make the difference.
[00:46] YC
    Akiba,
[00:48] YC
    Mishima,
[00:50] YC
    and this guy.
[00:56] Y1
    Blue!
[00:56] Sa
    'Kay.
[00:58] Y1
    Wow! Sanada-san!
[00:59] Y1
    How are you hitting them so easily?
[01:01] Y1
    It took us a month to get it down.
[01:04] Sa
    What?
[01:05] Sa
    This isn't hard.
[01:06] Y1
    It's hard for normal people!
[01:09] YC
    When Sanada gets in the zone,
[01:12] YC
    he can easily bat better than
    Akiba and Mishima.
[01:15] YC
    Though he can't beat my Raichi.
[01:21] Ra
    It's different this time.
[01:31] Ra
    I've overcome the past!

[03:17] Ko
    Oh, do you guys sleep with your bats?
[03:20] I2
    Of course not!
[03:22] I3
    What?
[03:22] I3
    I sometimes do.
[03:24] I2
    Are you serious?!
[03:25] I3
    You seriously don't?
[03:26] I3
    It's nice and cool during the summer.
[03:30] Ko
    Damn, I have nothing
    but respect for you guys.
[03:33] Ko
    I don't really like working hard.
[03:36] I2
    Then why are you drenched?
[03:38] I2
    You were running.
[03:39] Ko
    No, I wasn't.
[03:40] I3
    So you're the type
    that likes studying in secret.
[03:44] Ko
    But seriously, thanks.
[03:46] Ko
    Thanks for taking me in
    without a word after coming back.
[03:52] I2
    You should thank the coach.
[03:56] (Flashback) IC
    Sorry, but...
[03:58] I2
    He's the one who politely asked us
[04:00] I2
    to forgive you about leaving the team.
[04:04] I2
    We've got nothing to say
    if it's what the coach wants.
[04:08] Ko
    Toshi-chan did that?
[04:10] I2
    Though we knew you'd come back.
[04:14] Ko
    That day.
[04:16] Ko
    All I could do was just watch.
[04:20] Ko
    I couldn't forgive myself.
[04:22] Ko
    If only...
[04:25] Ko

SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[04:47] Sa
    Oh, a weakness?
[04:48] Wa
    Yeah.
[04:49] Wa
    I can only talk about statistics,
[04:52] Wa
    but left-handed batters
    frequently hit your change-up.
[04:55] Sa
    What... did... you... say?!
[04:58] Wa
    It's an off-speed pitch, after all,
[05:02] Wa
    so if it goes a little high,
    it's just a meatball.
[05:04] Wa
    When you pitch the change-up
    to left-handed batters,
[05:07] Wa
    really focus on pitching low.
[05:09] Sa
    Left-handed batters.
[05:11] Sa
    Low.
[05:12] Wa
    But it's incredible that you only gave
    one run to the first-string.
[05:17] Sa
    Oh?
[05:19] Wa
    Furuya, your problems are
    the early game and base on balls.
[05:23] Wa
    But you quickly recovered in
    the second inning, so you're improving.
[05:28] Wa
    There were a few good sliders in there, too.
[05:30] Wa
    You've gotten tough.
[05:35] Sa
    It's not easy to get
    a compliment out of Nabe-san.
[05:38] Wa
    Now, let's talk about you.
[05:41] Wa
    It looked like your sinkers were effective,
[05:45] Wa
    but you aren't swinging your arm fully.
[05:48] Wa
    So it wasn't effective the second time around,
[05:50] Wa
    which is why you gave up a run at the end.
[05:53] Wa
    We're the same grade, so I won't sugarcoat it.
[05:59] Wa
    Your pitching wasn't as good as the result.
[06:07] S1
    Kuramochi, are you gonna quit being
    a switch-hitter, like Coach Ochiai said?
[06:12] Ku
    What? Of course not.
[06:13] Ku
    I'm not gonna let him change my style.
[06:17] S1
    But it was an order.
[06:19] Ma
    Oh, yeah.
[06:20] Ma
    You tried only going left before.
[06:23] Ma
    It dropped your batting average.
[06:25] Ku
    Shut up!
[06:26] Mi
    You've gotten on base more when you bat left,
[06:30] Mi
    so maybe taking advantage
    of that is a good idea.
[06:33] Ku
    I guess so.
[06:35] Ku
    What are you gonna do?
[06:37] Ku
    The bat.
[06:39] Ha
    To be honest, I haven't adjusted.
[06:41] Ha
    Using a metal bat just feels so awkward.
[06:45] Mi
    Your body's used to using
    the flexibility of the wood.
[06:49] Mi
    You don't have to force yourself to change.
[06:52] Mi
    The coach knows that, and that's
    why he hasn't said anything.
[06:59] Mi
    We have two days until the semifinals.
[07:01] Mi
    Let's do what we can to help us play better.
[07:12] K1
    I'm so hot.
[07:14] K2
    My thighs are on fire.
[07:26] K3
    Hey!
[07:28] K3
    I told you to put some clothes on!
[07:31] K3
    We've gotten complaints
    from the other teams, too!
[07:33] K4
    But Masu!
[07:35] K4
    I can't help showing off after lifting.
[07:37] K5
    I can't help taking my clothes off.
[07:38] K3
    I don't care!
    And don't strike a pose!
[07:42] K3
    Don't tell me...
[07:43] K3
    ...you guys are satisfied with just
    getting to the semifinals.
[07:57] K3
    In order to make up for the summer,
[08:00] K3
    we have to win the tournament.
[08:05] R1
    The draft yesterday was intense.
[08:08] R2
    Sano-kun from Seiho went to Chunichi,
[08:10] R2
    Tachi-kun from Osaka Kiryu
    went to Hiroshima,
SIGN    Harada at Nippon Ham
[08:14] R2
    and Harada-kun from Inashiro
    went to Hokkaido.
[08:18] R2
    Many kids also went to college,
    like Yuki-kun from Seido.
[08:23] R2
    It'll be an exciting four years.
[08:25] R1
    Yeah.
SIGN    Seiko Academy
[08:36] R1
    Wow!
[08:38] R1
    The ball draws a beautiful arc.
[08:40] R2
    Their swing isn't as big as I thought.
[08:43] R2
    They wait for the ball until
    the last second and swing quickly.
[08:47] R2
    It's only possible if they have power
    and a fast swing speed.
[08:52] R1
    Even if they swing a little late,
    they just overpower the pitch.
[08:56] R1
    This lineup might be a big threat
    to pitchers like Sawamura-kun.
[09:00] R2
    Their first three games were called,
[09:03] R2
    and they've scored a total of
    forty-five runs this tournament.
[09:07] R2
    If we ranked the top four
    in terms of offensive explosiveness,
[09:10] R2
    these guys might take the top spot.
[09:14] KC
    Good question.
SIGN    Seiko Academy Coach
    Kazuyuki Oga
[09:15] KC
    We probably lift more than the average team.
[09:20] KC
    More muscle means increased performance.
[09:23] KC
    They can throw faster and swing faster.
[09:27] KC
    Muscle is very important.
[09:30] KC
    So diet is part of training, as well.
[09:34] KC
    You have to replenish the energy
    you lose during practice,
[09:38] KC
    while maintaining an agile body
    with a well-balanced meal.
[09:42] R2
    Do you have a nutritionist, then?
[09:45] KC
    Yes.
[09:46] KC
    In order to drive a large body,
[09:48] KC
    the engine is important,
    but so are the battery and gas.
[09:53] R1
    Maintaining a large build
    despite a lot of movement...
[09:56] R1
    I wonder if it's similar to
    wrestling or sumo wrestling.
[10:03] KC
    However, this is all done under
    Coach Kumakiri's instructions.
[10:09] KC
    I'm a figurehead filling in for him.
[10:12] KC
    I'm simply doing what he's always done.
[10:17] R1
    Seiko's famous coach,
[10:19] R1
    Jin Kumakiri, left the team
    after the summer tournament.
[10:24] R1
    In order to fill the hole he left,
    Coach Oga became the head coach.
[10:28] R2
    If I recall, Coach Kumakiri was suspended...
[10:32] KC
    Yes.
[10:34] KC
    Until next spring.
[10:41] K1
    Not a bad pitch.
[10:43] K1
    But...
[10:46] K1
    What's with those eyebrows?
[10:48] K1
    You have hardly any left!
[10:50] K2
    Don't I look good?
[10:52] K1
    Not in the slightest!
[10:54] K2
    Oh, I don't?
[10:56] K1
    Besides, you've got more
    important things to be doing.
[11:00] K1
    Did you look through Seido's data?
[11:02] K2
    I didn't.
[11:03] K1
    Then do it!
[11:06] K2
    Masu-san, you always yell at me,
[11:09] K2
    but I'm always thinking, too.
[11:11] K1
    Oh? About what?
[11:13] K2
    About what we need to do to make nationals.
[11:19] K1
    Tsune, you...
[11:22] K2
    And after thinking and thinking,
[11:26] K2
    it's up to me.
[11:28] K1
    Say what?
[11:30] K2
    I have to awaken my full potential
    and take the team to nationals!
[11:34] K1
    Quit dreaming, stupid!
[11:52] C1
    Oh, man.
[11:54] (Flashback) C1
    That bases-loaded walk...
[11:56] (Flashback) C2
    I'd heard really good things
    about this year's team.
[11:59] (Flashback) C1
    Why'd he use a first-year pitcher there?
[12:03] (Flashback) KC
    Quit crying!
[12:05] (Flashback) KC
    Stand up already!
[12:06] (Flashback) C2
    That's Coach Kumakiri's poor decision making.
[12:09] (Flashback) C1
    I've always thought this, but...
[12:12] (Flashback) KC
    Stand up!
[12:13] (Flashback) KC
    Let's go home!
[12:15] (Flashback) C2
    Yeah, he does have those moments.
[12:19] (Flashback) K1
    What? Suspended?
[12:21] (Flashback) K1
    Coach Kumakiri?
[12:22] (Flashback) KC
    One of the third-years' parents
[12:24] (Flashback) KC
    called the school to report
    that he kicked a player in the dugout
[12:27] (Flashback) KC
    during a practice game last spring.
[12:32] (Flashback) K1
    Last spring?
[12:34] (Flashback) KC
    I struck a student
    due to my carelessness.
[12:39] (Flashback) KC
    I have no excuse.
[12:41] (Flashback) KC
    I'm sorry.
[12:43] (Flashback) KC
    Moreover, I can't apologize
    enough to the third-years
[12:47] (Flashback) KC
    who couldn't prove themselves.
[12:57] (Flashback) KC
    Oga, Masu.
[12:59] (Flashback) KC
    It's about Ogawa.
[13:02] (Flashback) KC
    No matter how talented he is,
[13:05] (Flashback) KC
    his heart is still frail.
[13:08] (Flashback) KC
    He may put himself down because of the loss.
[13:12] (Flashback) KC
    Please help him stay strong.
[13:17] (Flashback) KC
    I'm really sorry I have to leave
    at such an important time.
[13:24] K1
    Okay!
[13:26] K1
    The browless pitch looks good!
[13:28] K2
    Browless?
[13:30] K2
    What's that?
[13:31] K2
    That sounds cool.
[13:32] K1
    I was making fun of you, stupid!
[13:34] K1
    Sheesh.
[13:37] K1
    In the summer tournament,
[13:38] K1
    we lost in the first round
    because we weren't good enough.
[13:42] K1
    I didn't like
[13:44] K1
    how everyone placed the blame
    on how the coach does baseball.
[13:48] K1
    We're not here because of someone else.
[13:54] K1
    We're here because we chose it ourselves.
[13:57] K1
    We'll take Coach Kumakiri
[14:00] K1
    to nationals.
[14:06] K1
    We have to prove to everyone
[14:10] K1
    that his baseball isn't wrong.

[14:25] (Flashback) Sa
    Two more wins until we make nationals!
[14:27] (Flashback) Sa
    We won't let you leave after we win!
[14:34] (Flashback) Sa
    Don't run away, Tesshin.
[14:42] Re
    Did you already
[14:44] Re
    tell the captain who's starting tomorrow?
[14:51] Re
    It's just two more games,
    however you look at it.
[14:54] Re
    The bitter defeat in the summer
[14:57] Re
    kept the team strong
    against tough competition.
[15:01] Re
    They're only
[15:02] Re
    looking ahead.
[15:05] Re
    And what Sawamura-kun said.
[15:09] Re
    I'm sure it's what everyone
    on the team thinks.
[15:32] Ku
    What's that?
[15:34] Ku
    It's rare to see them talking.
[15:36] Ku
    Are they exchanging information
    about their newly learned breaking balls?
[15:41] Sa
    Wait. That's it?
[15:43] Fu
    Yeah, you don't want to try to break it.
[15:46] Sa
    I throw like this.
[15:48] Fu
    With all your fingers?
[15:50] Mi
    Hey, boys!
[15:53] Mi
    Being curious is good,
    but the game's tomorrow.
[15:57] Mi
    I won't ask for anything
    you can't use effectively.
[16:02] Sa
    Of course I know that!
[16:04] Sa
    I know I have no dexterity!
[16:07] Fu
    Do you think we were born yesterday?
[16:11] Sa
    We're using our heads, too!
[16:14] Sa
    You're like a mom, Captain!
[16:16] Mi
    Oh? Good for you, then.
[16:18] Sa
    We'll shut him up tomorrow.
[16:20] Sa
    Right?
[16:22] Mi
    Oh, I forgot.
[16:24] Mi
    The coach told me to tell you.
[16:26] Sa
    What do you want?
[16:27] Mi
    Furuya's starting tomorrow.
[16:37] Ku
    H-Hey!
[16:38] Mi
    Your ankle looked healed
    in the intra-squad.
[16:43] Mi
    Height and control will be important.
[16:46] Mi
    Everyone on their team swings at full speed,
[16:48] Mi
    so we have to be wary of big hits.
[16:50] Mi
    It would be ideal to get
    the first batter of every inning out.
[16:55] Fu
    Yeah.
[16:58] Mi
    Oh, Sawamura.
[17:00] Mi
    Make sure you're somewhat ready, too!
[17:02] Sa
    Somewhat?
[17:03] Mi
    Not just tomorrow,
    but looking ahead to the final,
[17:06] Mi
    we're definitely going to need you.
[17:08] Sa
    I can start tomorrow, if you'd like!
[17:11] Mi
    Don't stay up too long tonight.
[17:15] Sa
    How can I sleep after such regrettable news?
[17:17] Ku
    You didn't have to say that
    when they were together.
[17:23] Mi
    I didn't like how those rivals
    were getting along.
[17:27] Ku
    You're so mean!
[17:29] Ma
    You want to swing some later?
[17:30] Ha
    Yes, sir.
[17:31] Sa
    Somewhat?
[17:38] Fu
    To be honest...
[17:42] Fu
    When all I could do was watch
    from the dugout in the Oya game,
[17:46] Fu
    I was really frustrated.
[17:51] Fu
    In fact, I was a little scared.
[17:58] Fu
    I've only been looking forward,
[18:02] Fu
    and I didn't realize...
[18:04] Fu
    ...he's right behind me now.
[18:09] Fu
    I can do it.
[18:11] Fu
    This isn't my limit.
[18:14] Fu
    With this team, I can get even better.
[18:20] Fu
    I'm glad I came to this school.
[18:28] Fu
    I'm glad.
[18:33] Sa
    I... I don't exactly feel that way!
[18:36] Fu
    Oh, you don't?
[18:38] Sa
    You'd better play a good first inning
     tomorrow, Mr. Ace!
[18:41] Sa
    I'll be somewhat ready
    so I won't drag you down!
[18:45] Sa
    Why am I so frustrated?
