***SIGN*** Seiko Seido
**[00:07] R1**
A home run off Ogawa-kun,
who was looking a bit unstoppable.
**[00:13] R1**
Miyuki-kun really came through
as the captain of the team.
**[00:19] R2**
Despite the momentum being with Seiko,
**[00:22] R2**
they were able to pitch to their own strengths.
**[00:26] R2**
* This game highlighted how much*
* the pitchers have improved*
**[00:30] R2**
*since the summer tournament.*
**[00:34] C1**
Nice game!
**[00:35] C2**
Seido!
**[00:37] S1**
They won!
**[00:38] S1**
They won! They really did it!
**[00:40] S1**
So this is what it's like to see
a walk-off home run in person.
**[00:43] S1**
I can't contain my excitement!
**[00:53] Oc**
This is a good way for the team to win.
**[00:57] Oc**
The final will be exciting,
no matter who they play.
**[01:01] C1**
Don't cry, Tsune!
**[01:03] C1**
You did great!
**[01:04] C2**
Great job!
**[01:08] Ts**
Damn it!
**[01:11] K1**
Tsune's crying in public.
**[01:13] K2**
He didn't even cry
when we lost in the summer.
**[01:19] Ts**
Was my control off with the last pitch?
**[01:23] Ma**
No, it was fine.
**[01:27] Ts**
Then why?
**[01:30] Ma**
It was my fault.
**[01:32] Ma**
I underestimated him.
**[01:36] Ma**
I got greedy at the end.
**[01:40] Ts**
You're basically saying
I wasn't good enough!
**[01:45] Ts**
Give me some kind
words of encouragement!
**[01:47] Ma**
We both weren't good enough!
**[01:50] Ma**
You wanted to throw that pitch.
**[01:52] Ma**
If you want to win, then get better!
**[01:54] Ma**
Don't be a baby!
**[01:56] KC**
*It's just the beginning, Tsunematsu.*
**[01:58] KC**
*This is your starting point.*
**[02:03] KC**
* How you train from here on out*
* will determine your future.*
**[02:07] KC**
*You have to keep a strong—*
**[02:08] C1**
Coach Kumakiri, it was a close game!
**[02:11] C2**
You're coming back in the spring, right?
**[02:14] C3**
I hope you do!
**[02:15] C4**
Hey, it's the coach!
**[02:16] C5**
You're aiming for nationals, right?
**[02:19] C6**
What? Coach Kumakiri was here?
**[02:22] KC**
I'm just a folk singer
**[02:25] KC**
passing by who just looks like...
**[02:28] C1**
You can't fool anyone with your voice.
**[02:33] C2**
It was a close game.
**[02:35] C2**
The comeback in the second half was great.
**[02:38] KC**
Well...
**[02:39] C3**
We're always on your side.
**[02:41] C4**
Let's go to nationals with your baseball.
**[02:44] C5**
Good luck, Coach!
**[02:47] KC**
*Shut up.*
**[02:49] KC**
*I'm not coaching for you guys.*
**[02:57] KC**
*I'm not, but...*
**[03:02] KC**
I'm sorry for the trouble
I've caused to everyone.
**[03:06] KC**
However, the team practices hard,
even when I'm not there.
**[03:11] KC**
I plan to make a fresh start
with the team, as well.
**[03:16] KC**
Thank you for your continued support.

**[04:56] Ku**
Hurry up!
**[04:58] Ma**
Don't forget that bag.
**[05:00] S1**
Sawamura, shoes!
**[05:02] Sa**
Got it!
**[05:11] Sa**
Congratulations on making it to the final.
**[05:15] Ra**
We can play again!
**[05:16] Ra**
We can have a rematch from summer!
**[05:19] Ku**
You don't think you'll lose?
**[05:21] Ku**
You're playing Ichidai next, you know?
**[05:25] Sa**
We've won every game
after the practice game, too.
**[05:28] Sa**
Thirty-three consecutive wins!
**[05:31] Ma**
Th-Thirty-three?
**[05:34] Sa**
Or was it thirty-four? Thirty-two?
**[05:37] Sa**
Oh, well. We'll win today.
**[05:40] Ts**
Damn it!
**[05:42] Ts**
I'm really frustrated.
**[05:43] Ma**
Tsune, help clean up.
**[05:45] Ts**
I'm so frustrated.
**[05:49] Am**
How does it feel?
**[05:52] Am**
When it's your fault the team lost,
**[05:55] Am**
does it make you want to die?
**[05:57] Am**
From embarrassment?
**[05:59] I1**
Hey!
***SIGN*** Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium
**[06:03] Mi**
Let's watch the game after
you put your stuff in the bus.
***SIGN*** Fall Tokyo High School Baseball Tournament
**[06:05] SS**
Yes, sir!
**[06:07] S1**
Wait! Can you take this, too?
**[06:09] Sa**
Those guys were talking
about tomorrow already.
**[06:12] Ha**
They must be confident.
**[06:15] Mi**
Furuya.
**[06:17] Mi**
You should go to the hospital
with Manager Ota.
***SIGN*** Game two of the semifinals
***SIGN*** between Yakushi High School and Ichidai Third High has been delayed,
***SIGN*** and it will begin at 12:45 PM.
**[06:34] Ra**
I want to play now!
**[06:36] Ra**
I want to hit!
**[06:37] Mi**
Shut up, Raichi!
**[06:40] S1**
Nice home run, Captain.
**[06:41] Ta**
I was worried when you guys
went into extra innings.
**[06:45] S1**
Were you going for it?
**[06:46] Mi**
No.
**[06:47] Mi**
I knew they wouldn't make a bad pitch.
**[06:50] Mi**
I just got lucky.
**[06:53] Mi**
The pitchers really worked hard,
**[06:55] Mi**
so I'm glad it went over the fence.
**[07:00] Ta**
That actually sounded sincere.
**[07:02] S1**
You used to be more calculating.
**[07:04] Mi**
What are you trying to say?
**[07:06] Ma**
He still hasn't changed!
**[07:08] Ma**
He always steals the show in the end.
**[07:10] Ku**
Gets on my nerves, to be honest.
**[07:12] As**
My throw-back home.
**[07:15] Sa**
He's finally starting to act like a captain.
**[07:18] Sa**
Man, it's been a long road.
**[07:21] S1**
Hey, Sawamura!
**[07:22] S1**
You're as annoying as ever.
**[07:24] Ma**
Just you watch!
**[07:25] Ma**
I'll be the hero tomorrow.
**[07:28] S1**
I'm counting on it, Zono-san.
**[07:30] Ma**
Thank you, sir!
**[07:31] Yu**
I've always been looking out for you guys,
**[07:35] Yu**
but you've made it to the final.
**[07:39] Yu**
One more.
**[07:41] Yu**
You'd better get it.
**[07:45] Mi**
Yes, sir. I'll do my best.

You're staying for the game, right?
**[07:55] S1**
We'll bring everyone

**[07:58] Sa**
Thank you!

We'll see you tomorrow!
***SIGN*** Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium
**[08:12] Ku**
Furuya's at the hospital?
**[08:14] Mi**
Yeah, Manager Ota is
taking him to a nearby clinic.
**[08:18] Mi**
It's in the same place.
**[08:21] Mi**
It might affect the game tomorrow.
**[08:23] Mi**
In the worst case scenario,
he won't be able to play.
**[08:27] S1**
Seriously?
**[08:29] Ku**
But I'm sure he'll want to pitch.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Mi**
Furuya.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Mi**
You should go to the hospital
with Manager Ota.
**[08:43] (Flashback) Fu**
Just me?
**[08:44] (Flashback) Fu**
Are you not coming?
**[08:50] (Flashback) Mi**
Why would I?
**[08:53] (Flashback) Mi**
Do you need me to hold your hand?
**[08:56] (Flashback) Fu**
No, that's not what I meant...
**[08:59] (Flashback) Mi**
I want to watch the game.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Mi**
Go on your own!
**[09:06] Re**
Mr. Furuya, would you like to go along?
**[09:09] Fu**
No. He's in your hands.
**[09:12] Fu**
You're not coming?
**[09:22] Fu**
Satoru.
**[09:25] Fu**
Looks like you've finally
found yourself a team.

He came to watch the summer tournament
**[09:42] Ot**
and a lot of the practice games, too.
**[09:49] Ot**
He's been watching you
**[09:53] Ot**
all this time.
***SIGN*** Yakushi High School 1. #1 Kazuma Akiba 2. #4 Atsushi Masuda 3. #2 Yuta Mishima 4. #5 Raichi Todoroki 5. #3 Shunpei Sanada 6. #9 Ryo Hirahata
**[10:05] IC**
So this is the Yakushi lineup.
**[10:08] IC**
They're as unpredictable as ever.
**[10:12] IC**
Their starting pitcher is Kazuma Akiba,
**[10:14] IC**
and he played catcher last game.
**[10:17] I1**
Their ace is, undoubtedly, Sanada,
**[10:20] I1**
but Mishima, Akiba, and Todoroki
have pitched in the practice games.
**[10:26] I1**
They defeated many strong teams
during the summer off-season
**[10:29] I1**
and attracted a lot of attention.
**[10:31] I1**
I heard they're on a thirty-three win streak.
**[10:34] IC**
They don't have many players,
**[10:36] IC**
and they're, by no means,
a team with many resources.
**[10:40] IC**
However, they strengthened
the four core players:
**[10:44] IC**
Sanada, Mishima, Akiba, and Todoroki,
**[10:47] IC**
in order to make a strong team.
**[10:51] IC**
People said we underestimated them
as the underdogs in the summer,
**[10:56] IC**
but it looks like the tables
have turned this time around.
**[11:03] I1**
Kosei, why did you say that stuff?
**[11:06] I2**
The coach came and pacified the situation,
**[11:08] I2**
but their pitcher was super pissed.
**[11:11] Am**
What did I say to piss him off?
**[11:14] Am**
I asked a genuine question out of curiosity.
**[11:18] Am**
Because I've never lost like that.
**[11:22] I1**
*He's an airhead.*
**[11:24] Ts**
Damn it!
**[11:26] Ts**
Who was that guy?
**[11:27] Ts**
I hate him!
**[11:29] Ma**
Shut up, Tsune!
**[11:31] IC**
* The regulars from last year's team*
* are just Hoshida and Miyagawa.*
**[11:36] IC**
*So I'm just testing the waters with this team.*
**[11:39] IC**
* Just when I thought the fall*
* tournament would be tough,*
**[11:43] IC**
*this guy came back on the team.*
**[11:49] Yu**
That's great. You were accepted, too?
**[11:51] Ma**
The school picked me up at their tryouts.
**[11:54] Ma**
Omae was accepted, too.
**[11:57] S1**
Then y'all will be playing Tetsu?
**[12:02] Ma**
You're not gonna stay and watch our team?
**[12:05] Ma**
The one underclassman
I felt I couldn't beat in high school.
**[12:10] Ma**
He's gonna be pitching today.
**[12:13] IC**
*Genius.*
**[12:15] IC**
*I don't like using the word much,*
**[12:18] IC**
* but there's no other word*
* to describe the Amahisa boy.*
**[12:25] IC**
This is not revenge for summer.
**[12:27] IC**
It's a game to prove our strength!
**[12:29] IC**
Are you ready? Okay?
**[12:31] IC**
Go! Go! Go!
**[12:33] Am**
*I've been waiting for this moment.*
**[12:37] Am**
*Raichi Todoroki.*
***SIGN*** We will now begin the second semifinal game,
***SIGN*** between Yakushi High School and Ichidai Third High.
**[12:49] EE**
Let's go!
***SIGN*** Yakushi Ichidai
**[12:57] Y1**
* His pitches are a forkball,*
* a curve ball, and a slider.*
**[13:03] Am**
*The starting pitcher is batting first?*
**[13:06] Am**
*Do they think this is a joke?*
**[13:07] I1**
Kosei! First batter!
**[13:10] I2**
We've got your back!
**[13:11] Am**
*But if they're serious about joking,*
**[13:14] Am**
*then they're actually just being serious.*
**[13:17] Am**
*Like comedians.*
**[13:20] Am**
*Methodically playing the fool,*
**[13:21] Am**
* accurately being the straight man,*
* and calculatingly drawing out laughter.*
**[13:26] Am**
*Masters in the art of the double act.*
**[13:31] Y1**
*It's high.*
**[13:51] Y1**
*I can't make contact.*
**[13:54] C1**
What was that break?
**[13:56] C1**
The catcher can't catch it.
**[14:00] C2**
That's Amahisa's slider?
**[14:03] Am**
*I can't use this today.*
**[14:07] Am**
*It breaks too much, and I can't control it.*
**[14:09] Am**
*Let's not use it for a bit.*
**[14:12] I1**
*Then this one?*
**[14:16] Am**
*Fastball should be good enough.*
***SIGN*** A high fastball, and he swings!
***SIGN*** Strike out!
**[14:23] I1**
Yeah!
**[14:25] I2**
Nice pitch, Kosei!
***SIGN*** Batting second and second baseman, Matsuba-kun.
**[14:33] Am**
*Don't force yourself to get excited.*
**[14:36] Am**
*This isn't the real deal.*
***SIGN*** Batting third and catcher, Mishima-kun.
**[14:44] Mi**
Let's go!
**[14:45] Mi**
*Give me your slider! I'll hit it!*
**[14:48] Am**
*Hey...*
**[14:50] Am**
*He reminds me of something.*
**[14:56] Am**
*That thing with a horn...*
**[14:59] Am**
* It was picked up by the news*
* for looking weird.*
**[15:03] Am**
*That mascot.*
***SIGN*** They're all fastballs!
***SIGN*** And that's the strikeout!
**[15:09] Mi**
*Where was the slider?*
***SIGN*** Kosei Amahisa of Ichidai closes the inning three for three.
**[15:17] I1**
Nice ball!
**[15:18] I2**
Nice work, Kosei!
**[15:20] I3**
Nice pitch, Kosei!
**[15:22] Am**
*Something's off today.*
**[15:25] S1**
He struck out two of Yakushi's core players,
and he's not satisfied.
**[15:32] Am**
*I should throw some in the bullpen.*
**[15:37] Am**
* I want to face you*
* in my best condition, after all,*
**[15:41] Am**
*Todoroki.*
**[15:50] Ma**
A little bit of sidearm pitching.
**[15:53] Ku**
Akiba, with the number two uniform, is pitching,
**[15:56] Ku**
and Mishima, with the number three,
is playing catcher?
**[15:58] Ku**
He has a compact form,
and he pitches with a high tempo.
**[16:10] Y1**
Nice, third!
**[16:10] Y2**
Nice, Raichi!
**[16:12] Y3**
You didn't need to jump!
**[16:15] C1**
What a play.
**[16:17] C1**
He reminds me of Shigeo Nagashima.
**[16:20] Sa**
It's not about looking flashy!
**[16:22] Ka**
The best players make
the hard stuff look easy!
**[16:25] Wa**
They made a lot of errors in the
summer which led to their loss,
**[16:29] Wa**
but they only made one error last game,
**[16:32] Wa**
so they're definitely improving.
**[16:34] Ku**
So they played a lot of games
over the summer and improved.
**[16:38] Ma**
They wouldn't have so many wins, otherwise.
**[16:47] I1**
*Another breaking ball?*
**[16:52] I1**
*When are they exchanging signs?*
***SIGN*** A left fielder catches for the third out!
***SIGN*** Akiba of Yakushi is starting off strong, as well.
**[17:01] Y1**
Nice pitch!
**[17:04] YC**
He got three outs.
**[17:06] Am**
It's just the beginning.
**[17:08] Am**
That kind of pitcher isn't gonna work on us.
***SIGN*** Yakushi Ichidai
***SIGN*** Top of the second, batting first for Yakushi High School
***SIGN*** is the fourth batter and third baseman, Todoroki-kun.
**[17:21] Am**
* Pitching from the side*
* and changing the tempo...*
**[17:26] Am**
*Maybe it's all in order to win,*
**[17:29] Am**
* but I'm not a fan of*
* making a fool of yourself.*
**[17:34] Am**
*Something working by chance...*
**[17:36] Am**
*or winning by luck...*
**[17:38] Am**
* or winning because*
* the opponent played poorly...*
**[17:43] Am**
*What's great about winning like that?*
**[17:58] Am**
*I want to be satisfied when I win.*
**[18:04] Um**
Ball!
**[18:06] Am**
*I still can't control it.*
**[18:14] Ku**
He's going head-on against Todoroki.
**[18:17] Ku**
What a gutsy pitcher.
**[18:20] Ma**
*It's not like you, Kosei.*
**[18:23] Ma**
*Are you getting hot headed?*
**[18:25] Ma**
*Todoroki isn't someone you can beat*
**[18:28] Ma**
*by force.*
***SIGN*** I-It's gone!
***SIGN*** Home run!
***SIGN*** A clean hit off the fastball pitched by Amahisa,
***SIGN*** and Yakushi scores the first run of the game.
**[18:49] Mi**
*He went for the inside too carelessly*
**[18:51] Mi**
*because of the strike in the first pitch.*
**[18:54] YC**
*He looked pretty confident on the mound,*
**[18:57] YC**
*but I wonder if it crushed his confidence.*
**[19:02] Am**
*A line drive into the scoreboard?*
**[19:05] Am**
*Are you serious?*
**[19:07] Am**
*He's the real deal.*
**[19:12] Am**
*He's the real deal!*
**[19:18] Am**
* I thought people like him*
* only existed in manga.*
**[19:26] Am**
*What's this feeling?*
**[19:28] Am**
*I might be in a bad spot.*
**[19:33] Am**
*He's a boy!*
**[19:35] Am**
*Is this what you call a crush?*
***SIGN*** And that's three outs.
***SIGN*** He allowed a run to Todoroki, but cleanly got the next three batters out.
**[19:46] Am**
Let's get it back, guys!
**[19:48] Am**
The game's just starting.
**[19:50] I1**
*Kosei.*
**[19:52] IC**
*Amahisa boy.*
***SIGN*** The fourth and fifth batters' back-to-back doubles tie up the game at 1-1!
***SIGN*** And they turn the game around with ease.
**[20:10] IC**
Good!
**[20:12] YC**
*Raichi's home run lit a fire under them.*
**[20:17] Ku**
Their summer game was a hitting game.
**[20:20] Ku**
I wonder if it'll be the same.
***SIGN*** Yakushi Ichidai
***SIGN*** Yakushi High School has announced a swap in positions.
***SIGN*** Akiba-kun, playing pitcher, will play catcher,
***SIGN*** and Mishima-kun, playing catcher, will play pitcher.
***SIGN*** Yakushi Ichidai
***SIGN*** A double play!
***SIGN*** Yakushi manages to stop Ichidai's offense.
***SIGN*** Both teams are showing up in both offense and defense!
**[20:54] C1**
*Ichidai's batters are good.*
**[20:56] C2**
Yakushi just has Todoroki.
**[20:59] C3**
Yakushi swapped the battery around.
**[21:03] C3**
What a weird team.
**[21:06] I1**
Kosei, you're acting a little weird.
**[21:08] I2**
You looked way too happy in the dugout.
**[21:11] Am**
How can I be happy
after giving up a home run?
**[21:14] I2**
So what's with that smile?
**[21:30] Am**
*Huh?*
**[21:31] Am**
*What am I doing here?*
**[21:36] Am**
* I can only get this excitement*
* and thrill on the field.*
**[21:43] Am**
*I didn't know it was so special.*
**[21:55] Am**
*I'm so glad I could come back here.*
**[23:30] Mi**
Yakushi brings out Sanada,
their ace, in the third inning.
**[23:34] Am**
To be honest, I only need one run.
**[23:37] Mi**
Raichi's behind me?
**[23:39] Mi**
I don't need Raichi's help.
**[23:41] Mi**
I'll close out the game!
**[23:43] Am**
Don't get excited, undercard.
**[23:45] Mi**
Don't treat me like a small fry!
**[23:47] Mi**
Next time on *Ace of the Diamond Season 2*:
Priorities.
***SIGN*** Priorities
**[23:51] Mi**
Let's win the national title!
