SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[00:06] Um
    Out!
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[00:12] Yu
    Nice pitch.
[00:13] Is
    Keep it up, Furuya!
[00:14] Ku
    Ryo-san, nice play!
[00:19] Mi
    Pitching to contact isn't so bad, is it?
[00:26] Mi
    Hey...
[00:27] Mi
    Don't ignore me.
SIGN    Potential
[02:14] C1
    Straight to the screen!
[02:16] C2
    He's a good batter, too!
[02:18] C3
    What a beast!
[02:19] C3
    Is he really a first-year?
[02:21] Mi
    Oh.
[02:23] Mi
    He wanted to score a run
    to make up for his pitch.
[02:26] R1
    It's 4-1 now.
[02:28] R1
    Furuya-kun's on a roll now that
    he's shut down two innings straight.
[02:33] R1
    He threw from a slide step
    with no runners on base.
[02:39] R2
    His speed drops a little,
    but his base speed is fast.
[02:42] R2
    I can see they're working out the
    problems they had against Akikawa.
[02:46] R2
    The next inning will be the key,
[02:49] R2
    as the Yakushi batters come
    around for the second time.
[02:55] Ra
    You're amazing!
[02:57] Ra
    Amazing!
[02:58] Ra
    I can't wait to face you next...
[03:03] Ra
    Huh?
[03:07] Is
    We're not gonna lose a scoring battle!
[03:09] Is
    You'd better be prepared!
[03:11] Mi
    You've got one in front of you, too.
[03:14] Mi
    A reliable teammate.
[03:17] Ka
    Nice cover, Furuya!
[03:20] Fu
    This is fun.
[03:22] Fu
    Baseball is fun.
[03:25] Ku
    Stop taking all the fun!
[03:27] Yu
    Nice swing.
[03:30] Ha
    Nice batting, Furuya-kun!
[03:34] YC
    That was a fluke!
[03:36] YC
    Right, Sanada?
[03:38] YC
    My Raichi is so much better!
[03:40] Sa
    You're not biased at all.
[03:47] Fu
    I don't want to
    get off the mound.
[03:50] Fu
    I don't want to be out
    after three innings.
[03:54] Fu
    I want to pitch more.
[03:56] Fu
    I want to enjoy the game.
[04:00] Ka
    Miyuki, it's sooner than we planned,
[04:04] Ka
    but I'm switching Furuya
    from their second cycle.
SIGN    Shock
[04:06] Mi
    Oh, okay.
[04:11] Ka
    Furuya.
[04:13] Ka
    Yakushi's eight and nine-holes
[04:15] Ka
    were cleanups before their
    first-years stepped in.
[04:20] Ka
    Go take them out fair and square.
[04:25] Ka
    After that, you'll go into
    left field in place of Sakai.
[04:29] Ka
    So you can go back to the mound at any time.
[04:32] Mi
    Well, it'd be a shame to take him
     out of the game right now.
[04:38] Mi
    Even though he has stamina problems.
[04:42] Sa
    I'm sorry.
[04:44] Sa
    I couldn't expand on our chance.
[04:47] Ot
    Sa-Sakai!
[04:49] Ot
    When did you get out?
[04:51] Ot
    Did you just hear that?
[04:58] Sa
    Furuya.
[05:01] Sa
    You don't have an outfield glove, do you?
[05:05] Sa
    You can use mine when you go out.
[05:11] Sa
    It has a deep pocket,
     and I take good care of it.
[05:17] Sa
    It may look old,
    but I think it'll be easy to use.
[05:26] Is
    Sakai.
[05:31] Sa
    Well, I can't do anything
    about it smelling like sweat.
[05:37] Mi
    Sakai-senpai.
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[05:59] Um
    Out!
[06:04] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[06:07] C1
    Nice pitch, Furuya!
[06:09] C2
    Nice pitch!
[06:10] YC
    Damn.
[06:11] YC
    It's not a pitch they can't hit...
[06:18] YC
    It's all on you, Raichi.
[06:21] YC
    You've got the power to change
    the game with one swing.
[06:38] An
    Number 1, third baseman, Todoroki-kun.
[06:50] Mi
    Time out!
[06:51] Mi
    Pitcher change, please.
[06:56] C1
    They're switching him out now?
[06:58] C2
    He was just getting started.
[07:03] R1
    They switched him out
    after one cycle.
[07:06] R2
    Yeah.
[07:07] R2
    This is a surprise.
[07:10] YC
    Hey...
[07:12] YC
    It's only the second cycle.
[07:14] YC
    You're playing
    aggressively, aren't you?
[07:17] YC
    You're not gonna give our
    batters room to work with?
[07:25] Mi
    This is the pitcher
    relay for victory.
[07:29] Mi
    I hope you're ready.
[07:33] Ka
    Sawamura!
[07:34] Ka
    Take a good deep breath, right now!
[07:36] Ma
    Don't get nervous!
[07:39] Fu
    Thank you for the glove.
[07:40] Sa
    Sure.
[07:41] Sa
    Good luck.
[07:46] Ch
    Don't get too nervous.
[07:48] Ch
    Just do your own pitching.
[07:52] Ch
    Sawamura.
[07:56] An
    Seido High School has announced
    a change of players.
[08:02] An
    Number 8, Sakai-kun, will be replaced
     by Sawamura-kun, as pitcher.
[08:09] An
    Number 8, pitcher, Sawamura-kun.
[08:14] C1
    The first-year southpaw?
[08:16] C2
    He did pretty well against Akikawa, right?
[08:20] C3
    Lefty vs lefty.
[08:22] C3
    Might be a secret weapon
    against Todoroki.
[08:28] Sa
    I'll be pitching to contact, so thank you—
[08:38] Sa
    Actually, I think I'll focus on the batter!
[08:41] Sa
    What do you think?
[08:42] Sa
    Since there are two outs,
    and the bases are empty!
[08:45] Ku
    You don't have to think out loud!
[08:47] Ku
    People will know you're stupid!
[08:49] Ka
    Is he nervous?
[08:52] Ma
    Take another deep breath!
[08:54] Fu
    I'll be fine.
[08:55] Ma
    No! Do it!
[08:58] YC
    Well, look at that stupid pitcher—
[09:01] Ra
    Wow.
[09:02] Ra
    He's telling everyone what he's thinking.
[09:06] Ra
    Amazing.
[09:07] YC
    That's not something to be amazed about!
[09:10] YC
    They'll know you're stupid!
[09:13] Mi
    Sawamura.
[09:15] Mi
    Furuya shut out their eight and
    nine-holes and connected to you.
[09:21] Fu
    It's easy to use.
[09:25] Mi
    Now, it's your turn.
[09:31] Mi
    All right. Let's go.
[09:34] YC
    The Akikawa batters
[09:36] YC
    were completely beaten by his pitch.
[09:40] YC
    It doesn't look like
    he has great control,
[09:44] YC
    nor does he have any power.
[09:47] YC
    So why couldn't they hit it?
[09:52] YC
    I assume it's a very tricky ball movement.
[09:58] Sa
    A moving fastball.
[10:01] Sa
    Is he the same as me?
[10:03] YC
    Not nearly as good as yours.
[10:05] YC
    His is a wild horse.
[10:09] YC
    Is it wild enough
    to be a good weapon?
[10:12] YC
    Or is it hardly useful at all?
[10:16] YC
    Go check it out, Raichi.
[10:22] Ra
    I wanted to hit that
    fastball again,
[10:26] Ra
    but ever since I saw their video,
[10:28] Ra
    I've wanted to hit his pitch, too.
[10:32] Ra
    And they have two more
    pitchers beside them.
[10:35] Ra
    I can hit multiple kinds
    of pitches in one game.
[10:41] Ra
    This team is a lot of fun!
[10:49] I1
    Yes! I got it!
[10:51] I1
    Almost!
[10:53] I1
    Damn it!
[10:54] I1
    The arm's too loose.
[10:57] I2
    That's enough, Hirakawa.
[10:58] I1
    Shut up!
[10:59] I1
    I'm not giving up!
[11:06] I2
    What are we doing?
[11:08] I1
    What's that?!
[11:12] I2
    What are we doing...
[11:15] I2
    ...here?
[11:24] I2
    In reality, we should be playing Seido.
[11:30] I2
    All we've done in life is baseball,
[11:33] I2
    so what are we supposed to do now
     with so much free time?
[11:42] I1
    What's done is done!
[11:45] I1
    If you don't know what to do,
[11:47] I1
    then go to practice and help
     the underclassmen.
[11:49] I1
    I'm sure the coach
    will be happy, too.
[11:51] I1
    He was looking pretty down.
[11:55] I2
    Want to go check it out?
[11:56] I1
    What, practice?
[11:58] I2
    No, the Seido vs Yakushi game.
[12:01] I1
    What?
[12:02] I1
    The outcome doesn't matter to us anymore!
SIGN    Yakushi
    Seido
[12:06] I2
    Sure it does.
[12:08] I2
    We can see how good Yakushi really are.
[12:11] I2
    And how Seido plays against them.
[12:16] I2
    Until I see that for myself,
[12:19] I2
    I can't move on with my life.
[12:22] I3
    Hiro.
[12:27] I2
    You baseball nut!
[12:29] I2
    If you're going, then go alone!
[12:30] I2
    I'm not going!
[12:45] Mi
    First, let's see how he reacts.
[12:48] Mi
    Let's start with a ball
    and figure out what to do.
[12:56] Sa
    I don't want
[12:58] Sa
    to let him hit.
[13:01] Sa
    Not him.
[13:11] Mi
    Right down the middle?
[13:23] Um
    Strike!
[13:28] Ra
    A shoot ball spin.
[13:29] Ra
    The ball moved a bit.
[13:51] C1
    What was that throw back?
[13:53] C2
    He threw back as hard as he could?
[14:03] Mi
    When you said to focus on the batter,
    is this what you meant?
[14:08] Mi
    If you can't see my mitt.
[14:11] Mi
    I'm not gonna call plays for you.
[14:17] R1
    I wonder if he didn't get what he wanted.
[14:20] R1
    That throw back could mean a lot of things.
[14:24] R2
    In order to keep Yakushi from
    getting used to the pitcher,
[14:27] R2
    they change the pitcher
    after one cycle.
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[14:30] R2
    They're certainly taking the initiative,
[14:34] R2
    but their strategy also means
     they fear the Yakushi line-up quite a bit.
[14:38] R2
    If they can succeed with the relay,
    they can pick up the rhythm.
[14:43] R2
    But if they fail to do so...
[14:45] R2
    I'm sure Miyuki-kun realizes
[14:48] R2
    the high risk in this aggressive relay.
[15:00] Ka
    I'm not letting Tanba throw tomorrow.
[15:04] Ka
    Keep that in mind,
    and carry out your duties tomorrow.
[15:08] Mi
    Remember what the coach said.
[15:10] Mi
    Our pitch relay is to win.
[15:12] Mi
    Just think about connecting
    to the next pitcher today.
[15:17] Sa
    That's right.
[15:20] Sa
    This isn't a one-on-one.
[15:36] Sa
    This is a team battle.
[15:41] Mi
    Finally awake?
[15:45] Mi
    Low and outside.
[15:48] Mi
    I don't care if it's a ball,
[15:49] Mi
    but keep it low.
SIGN    nod nod
[15:58] Ra
    The ball moved just like we thought!
[16:00] Ra
    And his form is very unique!
[16:04] YC
    Good job!
[16:05] YC
    Check his pitch one more time.
[16:06] Sa
    You're so close!
[16:11] Ra
    This is fun!
[16:13] Ra
    His arm hides behind his body,
    and then suddenly...
[16:19] Um
    Ball!
[16:22] Ra
    It moved like it escaped
    to the outside.
[16:27] Ra
    He has so much potential!
[16:29] Ra
    He's got an amazing weapon!
[16:40] Ra
    I want to hit it.
[16:43] Ra
    I want to smash it away!
[16:59] Um
    Foul!
[17:01] Sa
    That was close.
[17:04] Ot
    This isn't good for my heart.
[17:07] Ot
    Sawamura's not suited for this.
[17:13] Ra
    Damn.
[17:14] Ra
    I waited a little too long.
[17:16] Ra
    If the ball comes in,
[17:19] Ra
    I wait a bit, then bang.
[17:23] Ra
    Like this?
[17:25] Ra
    No.
[17:26] Ra
    This!
[17:29] YC
    We're not gonna let them have their way.
[17:33] YC
    Boys, if you want to hit a moving ball,
[17:36] YC
    you've gotta wait till
    the last second to swing.
[17:38] YC
    I don't care if you get jammed.
[17:40] YC
    You guys would still hit over the infield.
[17:42] YC
    Shut that pitcher down completely!
[17:48] Sa
    I need more control.
[17:50] Sa
    I have to be perfect.
[17:55] Mi
    He waited to swing late?
[17:57] Mi
    These guys know what Sawamura's throwing.
[18:01] Mi
    One ball, two strikes.
[18:03] Mi
    We got the moving fastball in his head.
[18:06] Mi
    No need to play around anymore.
[18:11] Mi
    Take him on with this, Sawamura!
[18:19] Mi
    Put your heart into it.
[18:21] Mi
    If it's not perfect, he'll get you.
[18:38] Mi
    Let's go!
[18:39] Mi
    The pitch you're most confident with!
[18:44] Mi
    A fastball to the inside!
[18:48] Ra
    Crap.
[18:49] Ra
    This pitch.
[18:50] Ra
    I'm gonna lose.
[18:56] Mi
    Sawamura!
[18:57] Y1
    Raichi got jammed?
[18:59] Sa
    Got it! Got it!
[19:08] Sa
    I got it!
[19:14] Ka
    Nice, Sawamura!
[19:16] Ma
    H-He shut down Todoroki!
[19:19] Is
    I knew you had it in you!
[19:21] Is
    Back to the dugout, Furuya!
[19:24] Ha
    Nice play!
[19:25] Mi
    Baiting with the moving pitch,
[19:27] Mi
    then finishing him off with a four-seam.
[19:29] Mi
    His fastball's slowly becoming a powerful weapon.
[19:34] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[19:36] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[19:41] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[19:43] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[19:45] R1
    Their pitcher relay worked magnificently.
[19:49] R1
    Seido has the upper hand now.
[19:53] YC
    Damn.
[19:54] YC
    This is turning into a problem.
[19:57] YC
    Hey, Sanada.
[19:58] YC
    You should get—
[19:59] YM
    He already left.
[20:02] YC
    He's quick.
[20:05] Sa
    Not bad, pitcher.
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[20:10] C1
    Only one run after three innings.
[20:13] C1
    I thought the Yakushi batters
    would be more explosive.
[20:16] C2
    It's going in Seido's favor so far.
[20:19] C3
    Who would've expected a pitcher relay?
[20:23] C1
    But Yakushi's not going down that easily.
[20:26] C2
    They took down Manaka from Ichidai!
[20:29] C1
    Yeah.
[20:30] C1
    That was some intense stuff!
[20:38] Ry
    Another nice bunt.
[20:40] Sa
    Nice sacrifice hit, Beard-senpai!
[20:42] Sa
    That was some great pathetic hit!
[20:44] Sa
    You're so reliable!
[20:48] Is
    I connected, sorta.
[20:50] Is
    So it's up to you, Tetsu.
[21:15] C1
    Nice batting, Tetsu!
[21:17] C2
    Tetsu-san!
[21:21] YC
    We're four runs down.
[21:23] YC
    It's a little early, but we have no choice.
[21:27] YC
    Nabe!
[21:30] An
    Yakushi High School has announced
    a change in players.
[21:35] An
    Replacing Mino-kun as pitcher is Sanada-kun.
[21:42] An
    Pitcher, Sanada-kun.
[21:47] Is
    Here he comes.
[21:51] YC
    Don't let them get ahead any further, Sanada!
[21:59] Sa
    That guy's... the ace!
[23:36] Ch
    Shunpei Sanada.
[23:37] Ch
    So he's the ace.
[23:38] Ka
    Yeah. He's the ace of the team.
[23:40] Sa
    One out, and a runner on second.
[23:42] Sa
    Plus a power hitter five-hole at-bat.
[23:44] Sa
    My job is to stop their momentum.
[23:47] Sa
    What an exciting situation!
[23:48] Mi
    He's a lot more wild than I thought.
[23:51] Sa
    H-He actually looks serious for once!
[23:53] Ha
    Hey, that's not nice.
[23:54] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    The Ace Walks On.
SIGN    The Ace Walks On
[23:57] Mi
    Let's win the national title!
