[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! SIGN    The Kings' Roar [03:10] I1     You're still practicing? [03:12] I1     You guys sure love to practice. [03:15] I2     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. SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm [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.

[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!
