**[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!*

You're still practicing?
**[03:12] I1**
You guys sure love to practice.

Kosei.
***SIGN*** Practice Bats Game Bats Knocking Bats
**[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**
*...I'd been on the field during that game.*
**[04:31] Ko**
I'm going back to my room.
**[04:33] Ko**
*Yakushi High School.*
**[04:36] Ko**
*Raichi Todoroki.*
**[04:39] Ko**
*I'll take you down*
**[04:40] Ko**
*and become the ace of this team.*
***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.*

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?

Both games today are gonna be exciting.

Ichidai's got a rematch against Yakushi.

It's not that I'm running away from baseball.

It's a big decision for me

I'll stay at the school.
