**[00:09] Ch**
That's not the swing of a first-year.
**[00:15] Sa**
Who is he?
**[00:27] Ma**
I caused you guys trouble again.
**[00:29] Ma**
I'm sorry.
**[00:34] Ma**
But we're in this together as one.
**[00:38] Ma**
We're going to nationals again.
**[00:41] Ma**
With every single one of us here.

*We don't have...*
**[02:23] Ma**
*...the time to be...*
**[02:26] Ma**
*...messing around here!*
**[02:33] Ma**
*Don't get in our way!*
**[02:35] C1**
Yes!
**[02:36] C1**
Nice throw!
**[02:37] C2**
Manaka-san!
**[02:39] I1**
Nice, Manaka!
**[02:41] I2**
Nice pitch, Manaka!
**[02:42] CC**
Manaka! Manaka! Manaka!
**[02:46] Y1**
Listen to the crowd cheering for one strikeout.
**[02:50] Y1**
Be careful, Raichi.
**[02:52] Y1**
He's not the same guy
from the first inning.
**[03:00] Ra**
I can't stop shaking!
**[03:04] YC**
* Look at them showing off*
* their pride as champions.*
**[03:07] YC**
Sanada, you're going in next inning.
**[03:10] YC**
I hope you're ready.
**[03:12] Sa**
You couldn't use me sooner, Coach?
**[03:15] YC**
You're the trick up my sleeve.
**[03:19] Sa**
But... we're losing.
**[03:23] YC**
*Champions' pride?*
**[03:25] YC**
*Smash it away, Raichi.*
**[03:28] YC**
*With your bat.*
**[03:38] IC**
*Okay, Manaka boy.*
**[03:40] IC**
*That's the pitch.*
**[03:41] IC**
*That is your winning pitch.*
**[03:45] IC**
*If you throw there, no one can hit it.*
**[03:50] IC**
*Throw with confidence.*
**[03:57] Sa**
*Two strikes.*
**[04:01] Ra**
Amazing!
**[04:03] Yu**
He's not throwing any easy pitches.
**[04:06] Is**
The batter must be a monster.
**[04:10] Mi**
* Can they strike out the man*
* who hit a homer in the first inning,*
**[04:14] Mi**
* and turn the momentum*
* of the game into their favor?*
**[04:20] Ra**
Awesome!
**[04:23] I1**
*Let's go, Kaname.*
**[04:27] I1**
*Take him out...*
**[04:28] I1**
*...with force!*
**[04:34] Mi**
*Nice.*
**[04:35] Ch**
* After making him swing*
* at a breaking ball outside the zone,*
**[04:38] Ch**
*they're finishing him off with a fastball.*
**[04:40] Ch**
*There's no way he has timing for that.*
**[04:54] Ma**
*We're...*
**[04:56] Ma**
* ...Ichidai Third High*
* who went to the Spring Invitational.*
**[05:02] Ma**
*We don't have...*
**[05:06] Ma**
*We don't have...*
**[05:10] Ma**
*...the time to be...*
**[05:14] Ma**
*...messing around here!*
**[05:23] Ma**
*That stage is waiting...*
**[05:27] Ma**
*...for us!*
**[05:41] C1**
M-Manaka-san!
**[05:42] C2**
Didn't that hit him?
**[05:44] C2**
Was it his glove?
**[05:50] IC**
*Manaka boy!*
**[05:52] I1**
Manaka!
**[05:53] I2**
Manaka-san!
**[05:54] I3**
Where did it hit you?
**[05:56] I3**
Your shoulder? Your arm?
**[05:57] I4**
Manaka-san!
**[06:00] C1**
That was a clean hit.
**[06:02] C2**
Is he all right?
**[06:03] IC**
Ishikawa boy, warm up right now!
**[06:05] IC**
Right now!
**[06:07] I1**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[06:08] IC**
Hurry up!
**[06:10] IC**
*This is bad.*
**[06:13] IC**
*Very bad.*
**[06:15] Um**
Go see the trainer.
**[06:18] Ma**
I'm fine.
**[06:19] I1**
Manaka.
**[06:22] IC**
*I've already used two pitchers*
**[06:25] IC**
*while Manaka boy was in the outfield.*
**[06:29] IC**
*If he steps down from the mound now...*
***SIGN*** - Hachioji Municipal Stadium -
**[06:46] C1**
Narumiya-kun!
**[06:47] C2**
Narumiya, nice pitch!
**[06:49] C2**
Go all the way to the finals!
**[06:52] Ha**
Hey.
**[06:53] Ha**
You're still sore about that?
**[06:55] Ha**
You're such a small man.
**[06:59] Na**
I can't believe you switched me out again!
**[07:01] Na**
If I'd pitched until the end,
I could've pitched a no-hitter!
**[07:05] Ha**
Who cares?
**[07:06] Ha**
We were up by a lot.
**[07:08] Ha**
The coach did it so you could rest.
**[07:11] Na**
I wasn't tired!
**[07:12] Na**
I could've finished it!
**[07:14] Na**
Unbelievable!
**[07:16] Ha**
You're making me want to strangle you.
**[07:20] Ha**
Three more until nationals.
**[07:24] Ha**
If we lose, we're done for good, Mei.
**[07:29] Ha**
You need to have strength in reserve
**[07:31] Ha**
for all the upcoming hellish matches.
**[07:35] Na**
*I know.*
**[07:38] I1**
C-Coach!
**[07:40] Ha**
What happened?
**[07:41] Ha**
You look concerned.
**[07:43] Na**
How was the game in the other stadium?
**[07:48] I1**
Ichidai...
**[07:50] I1**
Ichidai Third High lost to Yakushi.
**[07:55] I1**
In the bottom of seventh,
Yakushi cleanup batter...
**[07:59] I1**
...hit the ball right at the ace, Manaka.
**[08:02] I1**
He tenaciously managed
to get the out at first base,
**[08:05] I1**
but the injury forced him to step down.
**[08:08] I1**
Ichidai showed great strengths,
even without their ace,
**[08:11] I1**
and finished the inning
without giving away any runs,
**[08:14] I1**
but Yakushi, with the momentum,
slowly closed in on them.
**[08:18] I1**
Yakushi took the game with a walk-off
RBI in the bottom of the ninth.
**[08:27] Om**
Murakami, stand up.
**[08:30] Om**
We need to line up.
**[08:40] IC**
Stand up.
**[08:42] IC**
Stand up, Manaka boy.
***SIGN*** Ichidai
Yakushi
**[08:49] R1**
N-No way...
**[08:52] R1**
Ichidai lost a hitting game.
**[08:56] R1**
Everyone on the starting
line-up hit, and no one bunted.
**[09:00] R1**
Seventeen hits and thirteen runs.
**[09:04] R2**
*Manaka-kun's accident played a big role,*
**[09:08] R2**
* but in the end, they outhit*
* the Spring Invitational team.*
**[09:14] EE**
Thank you!
**[09:16] R2**
* Everyone thought this bracket*
* would be taken by Ichidai or Seido,*
**[09:20] R2**
*but here's a dark horse no one saw coming.*
**[09:27] Sa**
H-Hey.
**[09:28] Sa**
Ichidai lost!
**[09:31] Ha**
Y-Yeah.
**[09:32] Ha**
Todoroki-kun was amazing.
**[09:37] Sa**
He's not a true cleanup yet, though.
**[09:40] Sa**
He's way too inconsistent.
**[09:42] Ha**
So you see him as your rival.
**[09:45] Ka**
It's a good thing we were all here for this.
**[09:49] Sa**
B-Boss!
**[09:51] Ka**
We can figure out how to beat
them before the next game.
**[09:58] Mi**
*He threw a fastball to the inside,*
**[10:00] Mi**
* after making the batter*
* focus on a breaking ball.*
**[10:03] Mi**
* There was nothing wrong*
* with his pitching.*
**[10:08] Mi**
* But instead of swinging*
* late for the fastball,*
**[10:11] Mi**
*he managed to hit it back at the pitcher.*
**[10:14] Mi**
*His swing speed is fearsome.*
**[10:31] Is**
Let's go, Tanba.
**[10:40] (Flashback) Ta**
Kacchan, I think I'll go to Seido.
**[10:44] (Flashback) Ma**
Why?
**[10:45] (Flashback) Ma**
You were invited to Ichidai, too, right?
**[10:49] (Flashback) Ta**
I-I can't just...
**[10:51] (Flashback) Ta**
...keep walking behind you, Kacchan.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Ta**
I want...
**[10:57] (Flashback) Ta**
...to be a pitcher who
can walk beside you.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Ta**
I want to change at Seido.
**[11:24] Sa**
Wait! Where's our bus?
**[11:26] Fu**
This way.
**[11:26] Ha**
This way.
**[11:27] Sa**
Which way?
**[11:30] Sa**
If we don't hurry, they'll leave us behind.
**[11:33] Sa**
Knowing our boss, he'll really do it!
**[11:35] Ha**
Don't call him "boss."
**[11:38] Fu**
Water...
**[11:39] Sa**
This isn't a desert, Furuya!
**[11:54] Sa**
It's Raichi Car!
**[11:55] Ha**
It's read "Todoroki"!
**[11:58] Fu**
* He's already swinging*
* right after the game?*
**[12:07] YC**
Another hundred.
**[12:09] YC**
Make sure the batting you did today
completely sinks into your body.
**[12:13] YC**
You're running home after you're done.
**[12:17] Ha**
Seeing his swing up close is really scary.
**[12:20] Ha**
He's not even that big.
**[12:23] Ha**
* I wonder how much he's been*
* practicing to get to where he is.*
**[12:35] YC**
Hey! No slacking!
**[12:38] Ra**
The pitcher today...
**[12:40] Ra**
...had so much energy.
**[12:44] Ra**
That pitcher had so much aggression,
**[12:47] Ra**
and there are a lot more
like him in this country, right?
**[12:52] Ra**
I want to hit and hit and hit and hit.
**[12:58] Ra**
I want to play against
every pitcher in the country!
**[13:01] Ra**
I want to blow them all away!
**[13:08] YC**
You want to be a pro, right, Raichi?
**[13:12] YC**
If you become a pro,
you can do that every day.
**[13:21] Ha**
Wow! He talks real big.
**[13:25] Ha**
And he's only a first-year.
**[13:30] YC**
Well, you took down Manaka
who went to the invitational.
**[13:33] YC**
The only other pitcher who's
worth your time in West Tokyo...
**[13:39] YC**
...is Mei Narumiya from Inashiro.
**[13:43] YC**
That's probably it.
**[13:48] YC**
If you beat Inashiro
and do well at nationals,
**[13:51] YC**
you'll be a star overnight.
**[13:54] YC**
If you do that,
**[13:56] YC**
you can get a huge offer
in the draft in two years,
**[13:58] YC**
and I can say good-bye to my debt.
**[14:01] Ra**
Narumiya...
**[14:03] Ra**
Mei Narumiya.
**[14:07] Ra**
Inashiro Narumiya!
**[14:11] Ra**
Inashiro Narumiya!
**[14:13] Ra**
Blow him away!
**[14:16] Sa**
*W-Wait a minute.*
**[14:18] Sa**
*They face us before Inashiro.*
**[14:23] Sa**
*Do they think we're not worth their time?*
**[14:31] Ot**
Okay.
**[14:32] Ot**
Is everyone here?
**[14:35] S1**
Oh, the first-year trio isn't back yet.
**[14:38] Ot**
Sawamura!
**[14:39] Ot**
Him again?
**[14:42] Ku**
I can't believe we have
to wait for measly first-years!
**[14:45] Ku**
Gonna have to teach him a big lesson.
**[14:49] Ch**
Are you busy...
**[14:51] Ch**
...picturing our game against Yakushi?
**[14:54] Mi**
Oh, yeah.
**[14:55] Mi**
Like...
**[14:56] Mi**
I'm really glad we got to see them.
**[14:59] Mi**
If we had faced them before Ichidai...
**[15:06] Mi**
Their batters managed to hit
off the Ichidai pitchers.
**[15:11] Mi**
How we stop them will be
the key to our victory.

Hey, there's a huge article in the paper.
**[15:31] S1**
With a picture, too.
**[15:33] S2**
Well, of course.
**[15:35] S2**
The favorite disappeared
in the third round.
**[15:39] S3**
This is what's so scary about
a single-elimination tournament.
**[15:44] S2**
Inashiro got another shutout.

We're gonna win!

Th-Those guys are looking
super motivated.
**[16:18] Ku**
I guess yesterday's game
had a huge impact on them.
**[16:22] Ku**
Since Todoroki's also a first-year.
**[16:25] Mi**
*I told them to do a light practice today.*

**[16:57] Ha**
No, not directly.
**[17:00] Is**
But they did!

Let's show them the answer on the field.

Something completely out of this
world is coming out of you.
**[17:46] Mi**
*The only team worth playing is Inashiro, huh?*
**[17:51] Mi**
*That's a bold statement...*
**[17:54] Mi**

Stop resting in the shade!

Tetsu.

**[18:15] Ta**
These three days we have until the game,
**[18:17] Ta**
can you bat against me
in a simulated batting practice?
**[18:23] Ta**
I want to get the feeling of a game back.
**[18:30] Is**
You want to pitch against us?
**[18:31] Is**
You've got some guts!

I'm totally down!
**[18:35] Is**
But I don't know how to hold back!
**[18:38] Is**
And this guy, too!
**[18:40] Ta**
Yeah, I know.
**[18:44] Ta**
Go all out.
**[18:46] Is**
All right!
**[18:48] Is**
We have an hour until practice!
**[18:49] Is**
Let's do this right now!

Whoever's free, get on defense!

Yes, sir!

*I was worried about Tanba-san's motivation*

*but it looks like it'll be fine.*
**[19:07] Mi**
*I just hope his pitching is good.*
**[19:28] Ku**
If you want a simulated practice,
you want a runner, too.
**[19:31] Ma**
Leave the fielding to us!
**[19:34] P1**
Feel free to let them hit, Tanba!
**[19:36] Sa**
I'll be in the left field!
**[19:38] Mi**
Tanba-san, first pitch.
**[19:40] Mi**
Let's go carefully.
**[19:45] Sa**
Hey, what's happening?
**[19:48] Sa**
If you're having fun, I want in, too!
**[19:51] Is**
Sawamura!
**[19:54] Is**
If you want to stand
on the mound, I'll take you on.
**[19:58] Is**
Though I'll turn you both into ground meat!
**[20:01] Sa**
G-Ground meat?
**[20:05] Is**
Let's go, Tanba!
**[20:06] Is**
No outs, runner on first!
**[20:16] Ku**
Your pickoff is looking
as good as ever!
**[20:20] Ku**
*Though in my case,*
**[20:22] Ku**
*I can run without a lead!*

You idiot!

Hit and run?

H-How can they do that
without any sign exchange?
**[20:36] Is**
Yakushi's not gonna bunt!
**[20:38] Is**
If you throw anything funny,
they're going to take it all!
**[20:43] Is**
You'd better listen up, too!
**[20:46] FT**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[20:50] Yu**
No outs, runners on first and third.

Ground meat...

You guys want to pitch next?
**[21:08] Ch**
You could learn a lot.
**[21:10] P1**
Tanba-san!
**[21:11] P1**
Be careful, Tanba!

Tetsu's not holding back.

Yakushi High School beat Ichidai...
**[21:29] Re**
We have very little information on them, so they're quite a scary opponent.

The key to this game will be whether
Tanba-kun can make a comeback or not.
