SIGN    Money Tree
[00:05] R1
    How heavy is this bat?
[00:07] R1
    This is heavier than the common heavy bats.
SIGN    Money Tree
[00:10] R1
    Raichi-kun's been swinging
    this bat every day?
[00:14] YC
    I didn't have money to send him
    to little or senior league,
[00:17] YC
    and his junior high school
    didn't have a baseball team.
[00:23] YC
    The only thing I could
    give him without a job
[00:26] YC
    was that bat and the strongest
    pitchers in his imagination.
[00:31] YC
    There's no limit to imagination.
[00:34] YC
    What he got out of that was
    the ultimate image training.
[00:39] YC
    A 160 km/h fastball.
[00:42] YC
    A slider that breaks right in front of you.
[00:44] YC
    A cutter.
[00:46] YC
    A knuckleball that falls like a leaf.
[00:53] YC
    He's been swinging every day without rest
[00:56] YC
    against the monstrous pitchers
    he imagined in his head.
[01:03] YC
    His hunger isn't like
    your average little boy.
[01:07] YC
    He'll make money.
[01:10] YC
    Unlike me, he'll make millions
    with just a single bat.
SIGN    We will now begin the quarterfinal
SIGN    between Seido High School and Yakushi High School.
[01:29] Mi
    If we can hold him down this inning,
[01:31] Mi
    we can take the upper hand.
[01:33] Mi
    You understand that, Furuya?
[01:43] (Flashback) YC
    The only other pitcher who's
    worth your time in West Tokyo...
[01:48] (Flashback) YC
    ...is Mei Narumiya from Inashiro.
[01:51] (Flashback) YC
    That's probably it.
[01:55] Sa
    Furuya.
[01:57] Ka
    Destroy...
[01:59] Ta
    ...him!
[02:04] Um
    Play ball!
SIGN    Reliable Teammates
SIGN    Yakushi
    
    Seido
[03:58] Ch
    He took down Ichidai Third High's ace,
     Manaka, fair and square.
[04:03] Ch
    How will Furuya fare against him?
[04:06] Re
    They brought Raichi Todoroki-kun to the front?
[04:10] Re
    Furuya-kun, be careful in the beginning.
[04:14] Sa
    Furuya, the people behind you
    are tougher than they look!
[04:20] Mi
    Let's go.
[04:42] C1
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[04:43] C2
    That's the pitch!
[04:44] C2
    That's what we're here to see!
[04:46] Ka
    Furuya's here to fight today!
[04:49] Ma
    Though that was a ball.
[04:53] Ra
    The ball just went "graaah."
[04:56] Ra
    It was so much more awesome
    than I imagined!
[05:00] Mi
    He didn't get scared.
[05:03] Ka
    You're throwing well, Furuya!
[05:05] Ma
    Keep it up!
[05:09] Mi
    Let's go with this next.
[05:11] Mi
    I don't care if it's a ball. Throw it low.
[05:17] Um
    Ball.
[05:19] Ra
    It dropped.
[05:20] Ra
    Wow! Wow! Wow!
[05:23] Mi
    Damn.
[05:24] Mi
    This is difficult.
[05:26] Mi
    He's not swinging.
[05:29] Ch
    I thought he'd be more aggressive,
[05:33] Ch
    but he's not swinging.
[05:34] Ka
    Yeah.
[05:36] Ch
    They decided to use him as the leadoff man,
[05:40] Ch
    so I doubt they're taking
    the Akikawa strategy.
[05:45] Y1
    Raichi, hit it hard!
[05:47] Y2
    We don't need a walk!
[05:49] Y3
    Hey, you ate my banana, didn't you?
[05:52] YC
    Get on base, Raichi!
[05:54] YC
    If you don't, I put you
    in the front for nothing!
[05:59] Mi
    2 balls, no strikes.
[06:02] Mi
    Even if it puts us at 3-0,
    I want another high fastball here.
[06:07] Mi
    Swing your arm down hard.
[06:11] Mi
    Let's push him away by force.
[06:23] Is
    Wait a minute!
[06:24] Is
    You're kidding, right?
[06:30] C1
    Straight to the right-center fence!
[06:33] Sa
    Straight to the fence?
[06:34] Y1
    Damn, so close!
[06:36] Y1
    It was almost a homer!
[06:38] Y2
    Run, Raichi! Run!
[06:42] Ra
    I got a double!
[06:43] Y1
    You didn't need to slide there!
[06:45] Y2
    You should've gone for third base!
[06:47] Y3
    Idiot!
[06:51] Mi
    He swung the bat from above,
[06:54] Mi
    so he can fight against the pitch's power.
[06:57] Mi
    That little...
[06:58] Ra
    Like this?
[06:59] Ra
    More like this?
[07:06] Sa
    I can't stand watching this anymore!
[07:07] Mi
    Pipe down.
[07:08] Sa
    Move aside!
[07:09] Sa
    Furuya!
[07:12] Fu
    I gave up a hit.
[07:14] Ma
    Don't worry about it!
[07:15] Ku
    Let's focus on the next one!
[07:16] Ry
    Put away your aura.
[07:18] YC
    Akiba!
[07:21] YC
    You know what to go for?
[07:29] Mi
    Furuya.
[07:31] Mi
    Let's relax a little bit.
[07:36] Mi
    The game's just begun.
[07:51] Y1
    A splitter?
[07:52] Ka
    Nice one, Furuya!
[07:54] Ma
    Let's stay calm!
[07:58] Mi
    That's good.
[07:59] Mi
    Just take out the batters after him.
[08:11] YC
    Akiba's a pretty good actor, it seems.
[08:14] YC
    Wouldn't you say, Sanada?
[08:15] Sa
    Coach, they can hear you.
[08:19] YC
    Yeah, we don't care about his splitters.
[08:23] YC
    We're going after...
[08:25] YC
    ...the pitcher's best pitch.
[08:31] Y1
    Swing from above...
[08:35] Y1
    ...about two
    ball-heights higher.
[08:37] Y2
    It's gonna land on the line!
[08:39] Y3
    Run for it, Raichi!
[08:44] Ra
    Nice batting, Aki!
[08:45] Y1
    Ow! My hands.
[08:47] Y1
    How did Raichi hit it so far?
[08:49] Mi
    Home!
[08:56] Y1
    Yeah!
[08:57] Y2
    He made it home!
[08:58] Y3
    First run!
[09:00] Y4
    Nice batting, Akiba!
[09:05] Ha
    They're hitting Furuya-kun's fastball.
[09:08] Ha
    Yakushi High got the first run.
[09:23] Mi
    Damn.
[09:25] Mi
    They're going after the high fastballs.
[09:30] YC
    His fastball slows down
    when he throws from the stretch.
[09:35] YC
    Our top batters won't have
    trouble hitting those pitches.
[09:39] YC
    That's why I put Raichi to the front.
[09:43] Re
    If Todoroki-kun gets on base,
[09:45] Re
    Furuya-kun has to throw from the stretch.
[09:49] Re
    So this is why they used
    him as the leadoff man.
[09:52] Ra
    Don't stop the flow here, Mishima!
[09:54] Y1
    Don't say my name like that!
[09:57] YC
    Hit 'em, boys!
[09:58] YC
    Hit 'em all!
[09:59] YC
    If you don't score, you can't win!
[10:02] Ot
    Furuya's fastball got hit twice in a row.
[10:05] Ot
    And the hits are actually flying forward.
[10:09] Ot
    Should we assume their batters
SIGN    Kiryu Seido
[10:13] Ot
    are as good as Osaka Kiryu?
[10:17] Ka
    No.
[10:20] Ch
    He's not exhausted from
    a training camp this time.
[10:23] Ch
    Furuya's condition isn't bad at all.
[10:28] Ma
    You've got to relax.
[10:31] Ku
    Don't ignore him, idiot!
[10:34] Yu
    They've sure done it.
[10:36] Yu
    They're going after the high fastballs.
[10:39] Ry
    Well, his high and low balls are
    a strike zone apart, so it's not that hard.
[10:45] Yu
    But...
[10:47] Yu
    We really have to acknowledge it now.
[10:51] Yu
    This team...
[10:53] Yu
    ...is strong.
SIGN    Yakushi
    
    Seido
[11:06] Sa
    I can't just watch anymore!
[11:08] Sa
    Please let me go, Muscle-senpai!
[11:11] Mi
    Just keep it cool.
[11:14] Mi
    They're not the type to just take a beating.
[11:19] Mi
    Furuya definitely isn't,
[11:21] Mi
    but especially that guy.
[11:25] Mi
    I'll make plays centered around the splitter,
[11:28] Mi
    but your fastball is still our best weapon.
[11:32] Mi
    Stop getting mad over every hit, man.
[11:34] Fu
    I'm not.
[11:36] Ku
    Yeah, you are.
[11:38] Mi
    If you're about to snap, look behind you.
[11:42] Mi
    You've got reliable teammates behind you.
[11:51] Yu
    Don't worry about the runners.
[11:53] Ma
    Just focus on the batters.
[12:00] Ry
    Where's the "yes, sir"?
[12:01] Ku
    Don't get mad again!
[12:04] Ku
    Hey, say something!
[12:08] Sa
    Don't tense up, Furuya!
[12:10] Sa
    I'm ready to go anytime!
[12:13] R1
    Just like the Akikawa game,
[12:15] R1
    he's allowed the first run of the game.
[12:19] R1
    Is Furuya-kun a slow starter?
[12:24] R2
    He may have allowed a run again,
[12:26] R2
    but it's nothing like the Akikawa game
    where he gave up a bunch of walks.
[12:32] R2
    Furthermore, Yakushi doesn't bunt,
[12:34] R2
    so they're going to try
    to shake things up with steals.
[12:38] R2
    If he can't hold his ground here,
[12:40] R2
    Seido might keep losing runs like Ichidai did.
[12:45] Sa
    Oh, no!
[12:46] Sa
    There it goes!
[12:49] Um
    Foul!
[12:54] Sa
    That was a close one.
[12:57] Mi
    Hurry up and throw.
[12:59] YC
    A fastball from the start?
[13:02] YC
    They know what we're up to, don't they?
[13:05] Sa
    Most likely.
[13:08] YC
    The catcher must have a lot of confidence.
[13:13] Mi
    He has a lot of power.
[13:16] Mi
    He also swings fast.
[13:18] Mi
    It makes sense that he was one
    of the cleanups in the Ichidai game.
[13:23] Fu
    A splitter.
[13:26] Mi
    Let's get a strike, Furuya.
[13:39] Yu
    A steal!
[13:41] Mi
    Damn, he's running now?
[13:44] Mi
    It's a breaking ball,
    and it's going low enough to bounce.
[13:47] Mi
    If I just catch it normally,
    I won't make it.
[13:57] Ku
    Too bad.
[13:59] Um
    Out!
[14:04] Y1
    Are you serious?
[14:05] Y1
    That one bounced!
[14:11] YC
    He wouldn't have made it
    if he had caught a slower breaking ball
[14:14] YC
    from the seated position.
[14:16] YC
    He quickly realized and switched
    to a position he could throw from quickly.
[14:23] Mi
    That's one out.
[14:30] Mi
    Furuya.
[14:33] Mi
    You've got one in front of you, too.
[14:35] Mi
    A reliable teammate.
[14:46] [SONG] On-screen
    startled
[14:49] S1
    Nice play, Miyuki!
[14:51] S2
    That was an insane catch, right there!
[14:53] S3
    If you'd missed that one,
    it would've been a passed ball!
[14:56] S4
    You've done it!
[14:58] S4
    You've really done it!
[15:00] Mi
    Calm down, folks.
[15:02] Ch
    Man, you daredevil.
[15:06] Ch
    That was a big play.
[15:08] Ka
    Yeah.
[15:09] Ka
    Now, they can't steal so easily.
[15:12] YC
    Man, that catcher's awesome.
[15:14] YC
    Nabe, you should do that, too!
[15:17] Y1
    I can't!
SIGN    Yakushi
    
    
    Seido
[15:31] Y1
    Steal!
[15:50] S1
    That's revenge for Furuya!
[15:52] S2
    Runner's home!
[15:54] S3
    The game's tied now!
[15:56] S4
    Jun-san!
[15:57] Is
    Damn right!
[15:59] Is
    We're not gonna lose a scoring battle!
[16:01] Is
    You'd better be prepared!
[16:05] Sa
    You said it, Spitz-senpai!
[16:08] Is
    Who's a spitz?
[16:13] YC
    I didn't think we'd get only
    one run in the first inning.
[16:17] YC
    Looks like you might have to play
    sooner than we planned, Sanada.
[16:40] YC
    That's one scary swing.
[16:42] YC
    I can smell a ton of money from him, too.
[16:46] Sa
    We're lucky it went straight into a glove.
[16:48] YC
    Yeah.
[16:50] YC
    The only other batter we have
    to watch out for is the catcher.
[16:54] YC
    Kazuya Miyuki.
[17:00] Ma
    It's in!
[17:02] S1
    Two-run homer!
[17:03] S2
    Nice batting, Masuko-senpai!
[17:07] Sa
    He doesn't bat in the
    five-hole for nothing.
[17:12] Sa
    Masuko!
[17:14] Sa
    Masuko!
[17:15] Ma
    No honorific for me, Sawamura-chan?
[17:20] Ch
    He didn't swing wide that time.
[17:23] Ka
    Yeah.
[17:24] Ka
    If he swings like that, he'll even
    be able to hit breaking balls.
[17:28] Mi
    Since we're on a roll,
[17:30] Mi
    I guess I'll follow suit.
[17:34] Mi
    Oops, I did it again.
[17:36] Ku
    You suck!
[17:37] Ma
    What was that, Miyuki?
[17:38] S1
    Why can't you hit when
    there's isn't a runner?
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[17:47] Y1
    Wow! What's with that pitch?
[17:50] Y1
    Is he seriously a first-year?
[17:53] Mi
    He is, indeed.
[17:55] Mi
    Though he acts like a third-year.
[17:57] Y2
    Bring it on!
[17:58] Y2
    I'll hit your fastball!
[18:02] Mi
    Though it doesn't look
    like he'll swing.
[18:07] Mi
    Is he giving separate instructions
    for less capable batters?
[18:15] YC
    Akikawa showed us
    how to beat that pitcher,
[18:19] YC
    so we're just gonna use that.
[18:22] Mi
    You're more cunning than you look.
[18:25] Mi
    What an annoying old man.
[18:28] Mi
    If that's the case...
[18:37] YC
    The stretch?
[18:39] YC
    Without a runner?
[18:45] Y1
    Slide step?
[18:52] Um
    Strike!
[18:56] Y1
    A low fastball?
[18:59] Sa
    So he can throw low!
[19:01] Sa
    When did he learn to do that?
[19:05] Mi
    Are you even trying
    to warm up your shoulder?
[19:09] Mi
    Nice pitch!
[19:12] YC
    They abandoned the speed and
    put more emphasis on control.
[19:16] YC
    Fast and sound judgment, catcher.
[19:20] YC
    But your judgment
[19:22] YC
    might cost you against us.
[19:27] Y1
    You little...
[19:29] Y1
    You don't think I can hit that?
[19:32] Mi
    Don't be afraid of him hitting.
[19:35] Mi
    What you need in this slide step is courage.
[19:46] Mi
    The courage to trust
    your teammates.
[19:48] Y1
    I'm not that bad, first-year!
[19:55] Mi
    Furuya, cover first!
[20:03] Yu
    Furuya!
[20:05] Fu
    I have to catch.
[20:18] Ha
    Nice cover!
[20:20] Ka
    Nice cover, Furuya!
[20:21] Ma
    Tetsu-san, nice play!
[20:25] Yu
    Nice cover.
[20:27] Ry
    So you didn't forget.
[20:30] Ku
    Is this the first time
    you've done that in a real game?
[20:32] Is
    That's right!
[20:34] Is
    Let's kill them one by one!
[20:41] Sa
    I'll have to hand it to you on that one.
[20:43] Sa
    Nice play.
[20:46] Mi
    I'm gonna punch you!
[20:48] Ha
    You did it like in practice.
[20:52] Mi
    You reacted before I said it.
[20:57] Mi
    You're starting to get better.
[21:02] Ch
    You can only get experience
    from playing real games.
[21:06] Ch
    Being the starting pitcher
    for four games early in his first year
[21:10] Ch
    will be a big investment.
[21:12] [SONG] On-screen
    touched
[21:13] Is
    Stop reminiscing about the moment!
[21:15] Ku
    Hurry up and pitch!
[21:19] Ka
    This is a requirement for a pitcher.
[21:24] Ka
    He still has many things he lacks as a pitcher.
[21:29] Um
    Strike!
[21:32] Mi
    Okay.
[21:33] Mi
    Nice throw!
[21:34] Mi
    You're finally getting into the groove!
[21:40] YC
    Man, they're owning us.
[21:43] Sa
    Not to mention he's still a first-year.
[21:49] YC
    Looks like I'll have to break his heart.
[21:56] YC
    When Raichi's second at-bat comes around.
[22:01] Ra
    I want meat...
[23:36] Mi
    We're in the lead against Yakushi,
[23:38] Mi
    but Raichi Todoroki comes at-bat once more.
[23:41] YC
    Raichi, break that pitcher's heart.
[23:44] Ch
    Don't get too tense.
[23:45] Ch
    Go do your own pitching.
[23:47] Fu
    I don't want to give up a hit!
[23:48] Sa
    Not to him!
