[00:09] YC
    So young.
[00:11] YC
    I can see right through...
[00:13] ---
    Work harder!
[00:14] ---
    ...your heart.
[00:17] Um
    Ball four!
[00:22] Sa
    We're still up by two runs.
[00:28] Sa
    I just need to pitch how I always...
[00:35] Sa
    How I...
[00:37] Ka
    Pitcher change!
[00:39] Ka
    Kawakami!
SIGN    Roles
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[02:38] Ha
    A home run!
[02:39] S1
    We're up by two runs again!
[02:41] Ot
    Yes! That's why you're the captain, Yuki!
[02:51] Sa
    That one was too close to the middle.
[02:53] Sa
    I guess he's not nice enough
    to give me a pass.
[02:56] Ku
    Tetsu-san!
[02:57] Is
    You've gotta be kidding me, man!
[03:00] ---
    Wow...
[03:03] Sa
    Raichi's a monster,
[03:06] Sa
    but they have a monster of their own, too.
[03:09] Ch
    He occasionally throws meatballs.
[03:13] Ka
    Yeah.
[03:14] Ch
    He's never been a starter in this tournament,
[03:17] Ch
    so perhaps he has an endurance problem.
[03:21] Y1
    Sanada-senpai.
[03:23] Y2
    Sanada.
[03:24] Y3
    Shunpei.
[03:28] Sa
    Wow! They're really strong.
[03:35] Sa
    I'll probably cause you a little more trouble,
[03:38] Sa
    but forgive me in advance.
[03:44] Y1
    Sanada.
[03:46] Ra
    Don't worry about a thing, Sanada-senpai!
[03:48] Ra
    You can cause us as much
    trouble as you want!
[03:50] Sa
    Oh, I don't want to hear it from you.
[03:52] Ra
    Why?
[03:53] Sa
    Raichi, don't drag him down!
[03:56] Ra
    Shut up, old man!
[04:03] (Flashback) Ch
    Yes, he hit a home run,
[04:05] (Flashback) Ch
    but what's important
    is how you handled it.
[04:33] Sa
    This...
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[04:36] Sa
    ...is how an ace pitches.
[04:39] Y1
    Nice throw!
[04:40] Y2
    Nice pitch.
[04:47] R1
    After seven innings,
    Yakushi is down by two runs.
[04:49] R1
    They got a run from Yuki-kun,
[04:52] R1
    but their pitcher stayed strong
     afterward and held the score.
[04:55] R2
    Yeah.
[04:57] R2
    Kawakami-kun barely managed
    to get through the seventh inning,
[05:01] R2
    and it doesn't look like he's doing well.
[05:03] R2
    This game is so close that it's going
    to come down to the wire.
[05:18] YC
    This is bad.
[05:20] YC
    He's breathing heavily.
[05:23] YC
    When he throws, he pulls
    the ground with his left foot,
[05:28] YC
    and he transfers all of his power
    from the ground to his upper body.
[05:33] YC
    By doing so, his pitch speed increases,
[05:36] YC
    but the burden on his left leg
[05:39] YC
    is several times the amount
    the average pitcher feels.
[05:41] YC
    The left calf he injured
    in spring hasn't fully healed yet.
[05:46] YC
    Even so, he uses every ounce of power he can
[05:48] YC
    to keep the team strong when he walks on.
[05:51] YC
    His existence
[05:53] YC
    is such a huge part of our team.
[06:00] YC
    Guys, go turn the game around this inning.
[06:05] YC
    Let's score like crazy
[06:07] YC
    and give Sanada an easy time
    for the rest of the game!
[06:10] YY
    Yeah!
[06:18] Y1
    Knock the cover off!
[06:20] Y2
    You've got this!
[06:30] Is
    Put some heart into it, Kawakami!
[06:32] Ku
    Let's get aggressive!
[06:37] Mi
    Nori has a stiff face today,
[06:40] Mi
    and his usual ball control
    is nowhere to be seen.
[06:43] Mi
    Don't tell me...
[06:48] Mi
    Is the home run Sawamura gave up
[06:51] Mi
    replaying in your mind?
[06:56] Ka
    Furuya,
[06:58] Ka
    have your shoulder and mindset ready.
[07:00] Ka
    Depending on how Kawakami plays,
[07:02] Ka
    I might put you back on the mound.
[07:05] Fu
    I can throw one more time!
[07:08] Ta
    It's in your head.
[07:09] Ta
    It's all in your head, Kawakami.
[07:11] Ka
    Four runs allowed in seven innings.
[07:14] Ka
    Furuya, Sawamura, and Kawakami
    have been throwing very well.
[07:18] Ka
    Now, it's up to how calmly
    you can pitch on the mound.
[07:28] Um
    Ball!
[07:29] Ka
    We're up by two runs with two innings to go.
[07:32] Ka
    In this game, there will come
    a time when you are needed,
[07:36] Ka
    as a third-year,
    and more importantly, as the ace.
[07:45] Um
    Ball four!
[07:50] YC
    Damn! They didn't want to fight.
[07:52] Mi
    This is fine.
[07:54] Mi
    If your head isn't sorted,
    we should let him walk.
[08:02] S1
    Keep it strong, Nori!
[08:03] S2
    You've got this!
[08:05] S3
    One at a time, Kawakami!
[08:08] Y1
    He ran away from Raichi!
[08:10] Y2
    Hey, don't run away!
[08:12] Y3
    The pitcher's scared!
[08:16] Sa
    Kawakami-senpai.
[08:24] R1
    The count is 1 ball, 1 strike.
[08:26] R1
    They're down by two runs,
[08:28] R1
    but will they be doing a bunt here?
[08:30] R2
    I'm not so sure.
[08:34] R2
    By showing the bunt once,
[08:36] R2
    they can greatly expand
    their offensive strategy.
[08:45] R1
    A steal?
[08:47] R2
    No, a slash and steal.
[08:50] ---
    Don't look at the runner, Nori.
[08:52] ---
    Swing your arm fully!
[08:54] ---
    Slam it, Akiba!
[09:09] Um
    Safe!
[09:10] C1
    That was close!
[09:11] C2
    He just barely made it!
[09:16] YC
    That was close.
[09:19] YC
    That catcher.
[09:20] YC
    He took a few years off my life.
[09:26] Mi
    Damn.
[09:27] Mi
    I didn't make it in time.
[09:29] Mi
    The runner advanced to second,
[09:32] Mi
    but I managed to make him swing
    into a strike when he thought he had it.
[09:36] Mi
    You swung your arm well,
    and your control was good.
[09:40] Mi
    Walking Todoroki has let him clear his head.
[09:45] R2
    The count is 1 ball, 2 strikes with no outs
    and a runner on second.
[09:50] R2
    How will Seido get through this?
[09:54] Y1
    If that pitch comes again,
[09:57] Y1
    I have to swing even
    if it might go out.
[09:59] Y1
    I have to get Raichi to third, no matter what.
[10:02] YC
    Smash it down, Akiba.
[10:05] Mi
    Let's go.
[10:06] Mi
    Low and away.
[10:11] (Flashback) Ka
    I'm not letting Tanba throw tomorrow.
[10:15] (Flashback) Ka
    Keep that in mind and
    carry out your duties tomorrow.
[10:19] Ka
    That's right.
[10:21] Ka
    My duty is to connect with those behind me.
[10:25] ---
    Safe!
[10:27] Ka
    I need to throw until the end of the game,
[10:32] Ka
    and connect to Tanba-san's next game.
[10:38] Ka
    I can't let Tanba-san's summer end with...
[10:44] Ka
    ...this game!
[10:50] Ka
    I can't let Tanba-san's summer end with...
[10:55] Ka
    ...this game!
[10:57] Mi
    Yes, nice height.
[11:03] Mi
    He pulled it by force.
[11:05] Mi
    Can we get third?
[11:06] Mi
    No.
[11:07] Mi
    Ball first!
[11:12] Y1
    Yes! The runner went to third!
[11:14] Y2
    Nice hit!
[11:15] Y3
    Nice hit, Akiba!
[11:17] Mi
    Are these guys really first-years?
[11:21] Mi
    Their batting is really well polished.
[11:24] YC
    These guys are special.
[11:26] YC
    I've had my eyes on them
    since they were kids,
[11:28] YC
    and I trained them by the river.
[11:32] YC
    Though his parents reported me once.
SIGN    Batting third, first baseman, Mishima-kun.
[11:40] YC
    He's also my son's first friend.
[11:44] Ra
    Hit the ball, Mishima!
[11:45] Y1
    Shut up!
[11:46] Y1
    Stop saying it like that!
[11:50] I1
    One out, runner on third.
[11:51] I1
    Even with a single, they can score a run.
[11:56] I2
    They might make a surefire squeeze play.
[11:59] I3
    No, there are only a few innings left.
[12:02] I3
    I'm sure Yakushi is trying to turn
    the game around this inning.
[12:07] I3
    Even if they score with a squeeze play,
[12:08] I3
    they'll have two outs with no runners on base.
[12:10] I3
    They have to hit and score if they
    want to keep the pressure on Seido.
[12:15] Sa
    Focus on the batter!
[12:19] Sa
    Don't worry about the runner!
[12:22] Sa
    One out at a time!
[12:24] Sa
    Five more outs!
[12:26] Ot
    Sawamura.
[12:30] Ha
    Eijun-kun.
[12:31] Sa
    Kawakami-senpai is gonna
    let some hits through,
[12:34] Sa
    so fielders, thank you beforehand!
[12:38] (Flashback) Ka
    You've gained valuable experience.
[12:39] (Flashback) Ka
    Now, make something of it.
[12:41] Sa
    The coach was kind enough
    to tell me that,
[12:44] Sa
    but I'm the one who
    started this negativity.
[12:49] Sa
    The only thing I can do
    from the bench is cheer them on.
[13:03] Ma
    The batter looks strong,
[13:05] Ma
    but the outfield hasn't moved out.
[13:07] Ka
    The infield hasn't, either.
[13:10] Ka
    No, they're moving up.
[13:12] Ma
    They're putting pressure on the batter
    with an offensive defense.
[13:16] R1
    They made a double play
    in the sixth inning like this,
[13:19] R1
    so that should give the runner some hesitation.
[13:23] Y1
    They don't plan on running away
     with the advantage.
[13:25] Y1
    They're going to beat them fair and square.
[13:32] YC
    Idiots!
[13:34] YC
    Offensive baseball is our forte!
[13:36] YC
    Hit the ball over the infield, Mishima!
[13:39] Y1
    Why do they both say my name like that?
[13:45] Mi
    Let's hold him off, Nori.
[14:04] Y1
    Mishima!
[14:05] Y2
    Let's go, Mishima!
[14:08] R1
    He's hanging on with fouls.
[14:09] R2
    Yeah.
[14:10] R2
    It's not exactly easy to pitch
     to those spots.
[14:13] Ra
    I could've made that one a hit, Mishima!
[14:16] Y1
    Shut up! You just shut up!
[14:19] Y1
    They've been pitching to the outside.
[14:21] Y1
    The count is 2 balls, 2 strikes.
[14:23] Y1
    What's next?
[14:31] Y1
    A high and inside ball?
[14:33] Y1
    That was close.
[14:35] Ra
    That one, you hit like this.
[14:36] Y1
    Shut up!
[14:38] Mi
    You're finally looking calm.
[14:41] Mi
    A low slider.
[14:43] Mi
    Even if it bounces,
    I won't let the ball go behind me.
[14:48] Ka
    I know you'd never let a ball go behind you.
[14:56] Ra
    If I can distract the pitcher a little,
[14:58] Ra
    maybe he'll mess up a little.
[15:01] Ka
    Ignore that.
[15:02] Y1
    Stop moving around, Raichi.
[15:04] Y1
    I'll bring you home with my bat.
[15:10] Y1
    Ever since I was a kid,
[15:12] Y1
    I was the ace and clean-up.
[15:14] Y1
    I was always number one.
[15:17] Y1
    I wasn't going to lose
    to anyone my age as a batter.
[15:21] Y1
    But...
[15:24] Y1
    You and your dad
    completely changed that.
SIGN    Baseball Classes 100 Yen/Class
[15:30] Y1
    Everything.
[15:32] Y1
    Everything!
[15:34] YC
    Let's see.
[15:35] YC
    How about 1,000 swings
    every day from you?
[15:38] YC
    You should do 1,500.
[15:40] Y1
    What?
[15:43] Y1
    1,000 swings every day,
[15:45] Y1
    and I'll get a little closer to Raichi?
[15:48] Y1
    You've gotta be kidding.
[15:50] Y1
    I don't want to be closer to him!
[15:52] Y1
    I chose this school to beat him!
[16:03] Y2
    It's a hit!
[16:04] Y2
    An RBI to center field!
[16:09] Y3
    Just one more run now!
[16:11] R1
    He got that low slider?
[16:13] R2
    You have to give that one to the batter.
[16:18] Y1
    Nice one, again!
[16:19] Y2
    Nice one, Mishima!
[16:20] Y3
    Mishima!
[16:23] S1
    One at a time, Kawakami!
[16:25] S2
    Don't lose focus!
[16:27] Sa
    Focus on the batter!
[16:28] Ha
    Switch gears right here!
[16:30] YC
    Focus, captain.
[16:32] YC
    Don't bother about
    where the ball comes.
[16:34] YC
    Swing at the first pitch.
[16:36] YC
    Your defining quality
    is your wholehearted swing!
[16:42] ---
    He hit the first pitch!
[16:46] Mi
    They just hit balls, too?
[16:48] Y1
    It's going long!
[16:56] M1
    Yeah!
[16:57] M2
    Isashiki-kun!
[16:58] M3
    Nice catch!
[17:00] Is
    Don't get cocky with us!
[17:08] Um
    Safe!
[17:10] Ma
    Wow! That was close.
[17:11] Ka
    But that was amazing, Izashiki-senpai.
[17:14] S1
    Nice catch, Jun-san!
[17:16] Is
    Damn.
[17:18] C1
    One more run!
[17:23] Sa
    Beard!
[17:24] Sa
    Beard-senpai!
[17:26] Mi
    You've got everyone behind you!
[17:29] Mi
    Let's not give up, Nori!
[17:31] Ma
    Hold it together, Nori!
[17:32] Ry
    Two outs!
[17:34] Y1
    They were defending toward the right,
    accordingly to Miyuki's plays.
[17:40] Y1
    The fielders always answer
    when they're needed most.
[17:44] Y1
    Should make the pitchers feel strong.
SIGN    Batting fifth, second baseman, Fukuda-kun.
[17:55] Sa
    Let's swing like we mean it!
[17:58] Y1
    Yeah.
[17:59] Y1
    One more run.
[18:02] Y1
    No,
[18:03] Y1
    we want two, three,
    even ten more runs.
[18:08] Y1
    For Sanada who's doing such a good job.
[18:14] YC
    Hey, Fuku!
[18:15] YC
    Stop looking so tense!
[18:19] YC
    Enjoy this moment!
[18:21] YC
    It won't be easy to find
[18:23] YC
    another intense situation
    like this in your life!
[18:31] Y1
    Coach.
[18:34] (Flashback) YC
    Why do you guys play baseball?
[18:37] (Flashback) YC
    You want to go to nationals or something?
[18:41] (Flashback) Y1
    Nationals?
[18:42] (Flashback) Y1
    Us?
[18:44] (Flashback) Y2
    No way.
[18:45] (Flashback) YC
    What, you guys were doing
    this without a goal?
[18:50] (Flashback) YC
    If you're going to do something, have a goal.
[18:52] (Flashback) YC
    Then you'll like it more,
[18:55] (Flashback) YC
    and it'll excite you more.
[18:58] (Flashback) YC
    Next year, we'll have
    my special players joining us.
[19:01] (Flashback) YC
    Along with my super cute son.
[19:04] (Flashback) YC
    So your goal is to take me to nationals.
[19:10] (Flashback) YC
    You guys are the ones playing on the field.
[19:13] (Flashback) YC
    So do me that favor, okay?
[19:18] Y1
    "Take me to nationals."
[19:21] Y1
    A normal coach wouldn't have said that.
[19:24] Y1
    He increased our practice hours,
[19:28] Y1
    and he made us swing till we dropped.
[19:32] Y1
    But...
[19:33] Y1
    The more I practiced seriously,
[19:39] Y1
    the more I wanted to play baseball.
[19:44] C1
    It's a hit!
[19:51] Um
    Safe!
[19:55] Y1
    Runners on first and third!
[19:57] Y2
    You're the man, Fukuda!
[20:01] Sa
    Nice hit, Fuku-san.
[20:07] Sa
    And now, I'm up?
SIGN    Batting sixth, pitcher, Sanada-kun.
[20:19] Sa
    That's intense.
[20:25] Sa
    I wonder if the baseball gods
    are telling me to hit.
[20:32] R1
    In the moment that may
    turn the game around,
[20:34] R1
    the ace is up at bat.
[20:37] R2
    Yeah.
[20:38] R2
    This is another thing about baseball.
[20:43] R1
    Seido is making a move!
[20:50] R2
    So Seido knows this is
    the turning point, too.
SIGN    Seido High School has announced a change in players.
[20:59] R2
    The right men for the right moments.
SIGN    Replacing the eighth batter and pitcher, Kawakami-kun...
SIGN    ...is Tanba-kun.
SIGN    Batting eighth and pitcher, Tanba-kun.

    Top of the eighth.

    Two outs and runners on first and third.
[21:22] R1
    The ace walks on for the
    first time in this tournament.
[21:31] YC
    This is intense.
[21:33] YC
    You really know how to make things exciting.
[21:38] YC
    You're the best.
[21:41] I1
    This is a difficult situation,
[21:43] I1
    but there's no one else
    better for this moment.
[21:53] Ka
    Tanba-san.
[23:36] Sa
    The game-changing runners are on base.
[23:38] Sa
    In this situation,
    Tanba-san takes the mound.
[23:40] Sa
    He may be the ace,
    but it's his first show this tournament.
[23:43] Sa
    I'm sure he wants to know how he'll fare.
[23:45] Mi
    Tanba-san, Yakushi's batters
    swing from the first pitch.
[23:48] Mi
    Let's focus on the first pitch.
[23:50] Sa
    The coach told me
    to swing at the first pitch.
[23:52] Mi
    Give me a strong one!
[23:54] Sa
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Expectations of an Ace.
