[00:01] R1
    The one- and two-holes
    sparked a fire in the seventh inning,
[00:03] R1
    and the Seido batters
    took off from there.
[00:07] R1
    Seven to two.
[00:09] R1
    In the end, Seido won by a large margin.
[00:13] R1
    The difference in team strengths
    were definitely there,
[00:16] R1
    but a big factor in Seido's favor
[00:20] R1
    was how their two first-years
    lasted for seven innings.
[00:25] Ka
    Seido!
[00:26] Ho
    Tetsu-san!
[00:28] C1
    Kataoka-san!
[00:29] C2
    You can make nationals this year!
[00:31] C3
    You guys can do it!
[00:32] C4
    We'll come watch again!
[00:35] Yu
    Thank you for your support.

    Thank you!

[02:21] Is
    Hey, hurry up with the cleaning!
[02:24] Is
    Don't forget anything!
[02:25] PP
    Yes, sir.
[02:26] Ha
    You were great out there today.
[02:30] Ha
    It was huge how you managed
    to hold out the mid-game
[02:33] Ha
    after Furuya-kun.
[02:36] Sa
    I was just desperate.
[02:38] Sa
    We were down by runs,
    so I knew I had to push with my will.
[02:41] Ha
    No, you really pitched well.
[02:44] Ha
    You kept a good rhythm, too.
[02:46] Sa
    Y-You think so?
[02:47] Sa
    I think so, too!
[02:49] Mi
    The only reason you were effective today
[02:52] Mi
    was because Akikawa
    batters swung carelessly.
[02:56] Mi
    Most of your throws
    were right down the middle.
[02:59] Mi
    It'll take you years
    before you become like Yeung.
[03:03] Sa
    He has nothing nice to say.
[03:05] Sa
    I'll show you!
[03:07] Sa
    One day, I'll claim the title of "Clockwork!"
[03:10] Mi
    Impossible!
[03:11] Ha
    Yeah, that's not happening.
[03:12] Ha
    Know your limits.
[03:14] Sa
    You, too, Harucchi?
[03:16] Mi
    Furuya.
[03:18] Mi
    The team saved you today.
[03:21] Mi
    You both have a lot of
    reflecting to do today.
[03:26] Sa
    You're not the boss of me!
[03:35] Ch
    The harder he tries to play
    for the team, the stiffer he gets.
[03:40] Ch
    It's his lack of experience that's showing.
[03:45] Ch
    He may not be able
    to resolve that this summer.
[03:50] Ch
    However, it was these two
    who made the game.
[03:56] Ch
    No one hit Furuya's fastballs until the end.
[04:00] Ch
    Sawamura's well-paced pitching
    connected to the offense.
[04:05] Ch
    And Kawakami closed out
    the last two innings.
[04:10] Ch
    If Tanba comes back and adds to this...
[04:13] Ku
    Sawamura, hurry up and get out!
[04:16] Sa
    Y-Yes, sir!
[04:27] Sa
    Weird.
[04:28] Sa
    We won, but there's tension in the air...
[04:36] IC
    Congratulations.
[04:38] IC
    First team to make the quarterfinals.
[04:44] Sa
    I-Ichidai Third High?
[04:57] Sa
    O-Of course.
[05:00] Sa
    They're all looking at the next game.
[05:04] Sa
    We don't have time to celebrate.
[05:08] Sa
    The winners have to continue advancing.
SIGN    We will now begin the game
SIGN    between Ichidai and Yakushi.
SIGN    Ichidai, please begin your warm-up.
SIGN    You have seven minutes.
[05:28] II
    Let's go!
[05:30] C1
    Manaka!
[05:31] C2
    Ichidai!
[05:33] C3
    Manaka-san!
[05:36] R1
    They seem to be really popular.
[05:38] R2
    Well, they made the quarterfinals
    at the invitational.
[05:43] R2
    They didn't perform well in spring
    due to fatigue from the invitational,
[05:46] R2
    but they've regained their strength
    as of late with their ace, Manaka.
[05:51] C1
    Omae!
[05:52] C2
    Omae!
[05:56] R2
    Captain, cleanup, and third baseman
    of the hard-hitting Ichidai team,
[05:59] R2
    Omae.
[06:02] R2
    Leadoff hitter with fast legs
    and a great contacting ability,
[06:05] R2
    Hirakawa.
[06:08] R2
    Powerful second-years of the cleanup trio,
    Miyagawa and Hoshida.
[06:14] R1
    Ichidai's batters sound as scary as Seido's.
[06:18] R1
    I'm sure they're bound to win this bracket.
[06:23] R2
    Well, we can't say for sure
    until the game is over,
[06:27] R2
    but we can be certain the quarterfinal
    will be a Seido-Ichidai match-up.
[06:32] C1
    Manaka!
[06:33] C2
    Ichidai!
[06:34] C3
    Omae!
[06:36] Mi
    Boys, keep a close watch
    on the Ichidai batters.
[06:40] Mi
    They're not like Akikawa,
    who only had Yeung.
[06:46] Sa
    I-Is Ichidai really that strong?
[06:49] Ha
    Y-Yeah.
[06:50] Ha
    They went to the invitational.
[06:52] Ha
    We played them in the spring tournament.
[06:55] Sa
    I was at school practicing,
     and didn't watch.
[06:58] Sa
    And what about Yakushi?
[07:01] Ch
    They haven't bunted a single time, so far.
[07:03] Ch
    They seem to be super offensive.
[07:05] Sa
    Chris-senpai!
SIGN    Chris memo
[07:07] Ch
    Their first game was a called game.
[07:11] Ch
    They got a new coach last spring,
    and they've been gaining power.
[07:16] Ch
    Their ability to score once they
    pick up momentum is uncanny.
[07:19] Ch
    However, Ichidai is still stronger as a whole.
[07:24] Ha
    What's up?
[07:25] Sa
    Yakushi's cleanup.
[07:26] Sa
    How do you read that?
[07:29] Sa
    Car? Three cars?
[07:32] Sa
    Three... Three... Tricycle!
[07:36] Sa
    I think it's Todoroki.
[07:43] Ch
    Mishima, Todoroki, Akiba.
[07:46] Ch
    The cleanup trio is completely different.
[07:49] Mi
    They're on the players list.
[07:51] Mi
    They're all first-years.
[07:54] Sa
    First-years?
[07:55] Mi
    Oh, the coach's name is Todoroki, too.
[07:59] Ch
    They're using a first-year
    as cleanup against Ichidai?

    gonna keep swinging?
[08:22] Y1
    The game's already...
[08:29] Ra
    The pitcher today...
[08:31] Ra
    He pitched in nationals, right?
[08:34] Ra
    I bet he's good.
[08:36] Ra
    I bet he has amazing pitches.
[08:48] Ra

[09:16] C3
    Ichidai is amazing!
[09:19] C4
    Omae-san!
[09:24] Is
    A three-run homer off the bat.
[09:26] Is
    Way to show spirit.
[09:28] Is
    Is he seriously the same age as us?
[09:32] Mi
    They have an unparalleled cleanup,
    hit hard, and use little tricks.
[09:36] Mi
    If you think of it as pitching against us,
    you should get an idea.
[09:40] Sa
    O-Our...
[09:43] Fu
    ...batters?
[09:45] IC
    Nice batting, Omae boy.
[09:47] IC
    Good job.
[09:48] Om
    Thank you.
[09:50] IC
    Let's go, Ichidai!
[09:52] IC
    Get as many runs as you can while you can!
[10:01] C1
    Whoa! The third baseman stopped it!
[10:02] Sa
    I-It's him!
[10:07] Ra
    Here!
[10:09] C2
    A wide throw!
[10:12] C1
    What's that third baseman doing?
[10:14] C1
    Is he a newbie?
[10:15] Y1
    Raichi, you idiot!
[10:17] Y1
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[10:18] Y2
    Get your head in the game!
[10:19] Fu
    His teammates are yelling at him.
[10:21] Ha
    Where have I seen that before?
[10:25] Sa
    Hey, maybe he sucks!
[10:28] Ch
    So that's the first-year cleanup,
[10:31] Ch
    Raichi Todoroki.
[10:37] Y1
    Don't laugh it off!
[10:42] IC
    They changed their cleanup batters
    with players we don't know about.
[10:48] IC
    Are they just being desperate, or...
[10:53] IC
    No matter what tricks they use,
    they'll be no match for our baseball.
[10:58] IC
    Isn't that right, Manaka boy?
[11:00] Ma
    Yes, sir.
[11:03] IC
    Seeing Seido make
    the quarterfinals before him
[11:06] IC
    has started a fire under him.
[11:11] IC
    I hear that Seido's ace, Tanba boy,
    is his childhood friend.
[11:18] IC
    They started baseball together,
    both playing pitcher.
[11:23] IC
    Manaka boy always had the ace number,
[11:27] IC
    but they parted ways after junior high.
[11:34] IC
    The promise they made at graduation
    was to play against each other
[11:38] IC
    at nationals, both as aces.
[11:41] Ma
    How do you know so much?
[11:44] IC
    I wanted Tanba boy
    to come to my school, too.
[11:48] IC
    I wanted to make you two the pitcher duo.
[11:55] Ma
    That's how I felt at first as well, but...
[12:01] Ma
    He chose to go to Seido on his own.
[12:07] (Flashback) Ta
    Kacchan, I think I'll go to Seido.
[12:10] (Flashback) Ma
    Why?
[12:11] (Flashback) Ma
    You were invited to Ichidai, too, right?
[12:15] (Flashback) Ta
    I-I can't just...
[12:17] (Flashback) Ta
    ...keep walking behind you, Kacchan.
[12:22] (Flashback) Ta
    I want...
[12:23] (Flashback) Ta
    ...to be a pitcher who
    can walk beside you.
[12:28] (Flashback) Ta
    I want to change at Seido.
[12:38] Ma
    I didn't know that was how he felt.
[12:42] Ma
    It just shows how much
    of a pitcher he really was.
[12:45] Ma
    But that's why I was able
    to work so hard at this school.
[12:51] IC
    You two are both
    childhood friends and rivals.
[12:57] IC
    You're being a little too sentimental.
[13:00] IC
    First, we have to beat
    our opponents for this game.
[13:03] IC
    Isn't that right?
[13:05] IC
    Ace Manaka, are you ready?

    Yes! First hit!

    practicing their swing.

    should we use a bunt here?

    Go hit.

[16:38] Mi
    It's 11-8 in the bottom of sixth.
[16:40] Mi
    Ichidai are still in the lead,
[16:43] Mi
    but I never thought this game
    would turn out like this.
[16:46] Ch
    The two-run homer in the first-inning.
[16:53] Ch
    Manaka lost his rhythm with that hit.
[17:00] Ch
    He took another homer
[17:02] Ch
    from the five-hole immediately after.
[17:06] Ch
    In order to get his head back in the game,
[17:08] Ch
    the coach had to send him to the outfield.
[17:13] Ch
    The first-year slugger who shattered
    his heart with one swing
[17:17] Ch
    is something to fear.
[17:19] Ch
    And so is the coach who gave
    the cleanup to the three first-years
[17:24] Ch
    who've never played a game so far.
[17:28] YC
    Hey, Raichi.
[17:30] YC
    Don't eat bananas whenever you have time.
[17:33] YC
    If you hit another homer,
    I'll let you eat tonkatsu.

    Wh-Where do we have the money
    to buy something so expensive?
[17:47] YC
    Don't say that.

    Either way, we won't have dinner if we lose.

    I might get fired here.

    Feed me at least, you stupid dad!
