[00:02] Ka
I'm a bit greedy, or maybe selfish.
[00:06] Ka
When I stand on the mound,
[00:09] Ka
it makes me want to pitch more.
[00:11] Sh
That's good.
[00:13] Ka
I just wish Miyuki would make
the call to pitch a sinker soon.
[00:16] Ka
Even if he says it's good,
he won't make the call unless he trusts it.
[00:20] Sh
At least he's straightforward.
[00:22] S1
So I should make extra rice
for a late-night snack?
[00:25] Ha
Yes, thank you!
[00:26] S1
Sounds good.
[00:28] S1
We're just one win away.
[00:29] S1
Gotta do everything we can.
[00:33] M2
Watanabe-kun.
[00:35] M2
Do you need the score book?
[00:36] Wa
Thank you!
[00:38] Wa
I'm sure they have a lot of data on us, too.
[00:40] Wa
We'll probably be reading
each other like open books.
[00:43] Ha
Zono-san, are you hitting the cages?
[00:46] Ma
Yeah, I definitely am.
[00:47] Ma
Miyuki made all the highlight plays today.
[00:50] S1
Aso, what are you gonna do
until the meeting?
[00:53] S2
I'm gonna sit back and relax.
[00:55] S2
I made a lot of good plays today!
[00:56] S3
Yeah, that's Aso! Right?
[01:00] Sa
What's so funny?
[01:02] Ku
You want to learn a two-seamer next?
[01:03] Ku
You're so easily influenced.
[01:05] Sa
What's wrong with that?
[01:07] Sa
I want to try everything I can!
[01:09] Mi
Todoroki's hit a home run
off you in both games,
[01:12] Mi
so I get that you want
to do something about it.
[01:15] Mi
Oh! You gave up one today, too.
[01:17] Sa
Can't you talk to your underclassmen
without being mean?
[01:20] Ku
He's only saying the truth.
[01:21] Sa
You, too!
[01:30] Mi
Don't make me laugh so much.
[01:32] Mi
I'm gonna pull a muscle.
[01:33] Sa
Enough with that!
[01:34] Sa
I didn't even make you laugh!
[01:36] Sa
Maybe you need to strengthen your core!
[01:40] Mi
Sheesh! Shut up!
[01:43] Sa
What's wrong with being influenced?
[01:47] (Flashback) Is
Why don't you go figure that out yourself?
[01:50] (Flashback) Is
Idiot.
[01:52] Sa
The nationals are on the line tomorrow.
[01:56] Sa
I want to do everything I can.
SIGN Meeting Expectations
[03:36] S1
She was definitely in the stands!
[03:37] S2
She wasn't there to see you!
[03:41] Ka
Furuya?
[03:43] To
How's your ankle?
[03:45] Fu
It's fine.
[03:47] To
So you're playing tomorrow?
[03:49] Fu
Definitely.
[03:49] Ka
Really?
[03:50] Ka
I'm glad it wasn't anything serious!
[03:55] Re
The doctor said no?
[03:57] Ot
I think the injury is
lighter than the last one,
[04:00] Ot
but it's a fresh injury,
[04:02] Ot
so the doctor said it could take
a while to recover if it gets worse.
[04:07] Oc
It's going to be difficult
if Furuya can't pitch.
[04:10] Oc
In the summer practice game,
he was the only one
[04:14] Oc
who could shut down Yakushi.
[04:16] Ot
Well, he's ignoring the doctor's opinion,
[04:20] Ot
and he's obstinate
about pitching tomorrow.
[04:22] Oc
Well, doctors tend to exaggerate a lot.
[04:25] Oc
Should I take him to a good doctor I know?
[04:29] Oc
Regardless of how bad the injury is,
[04:31] Oc
sprained ankles can be a repeating injury.
[04:35] Oc
It's better to let him rest for the long run.
[04:39] Oc
The ace stepping down in the game,
with nationals on the line,
[04:42] Oc
could affect the team greatly.
[04:47] (Flashback) Ka
The players aren't heartless chess pieces.
[04:51] Oc
Now...
[04:52] Oc
How do we break the news to the team?
[04:56] Ot
There you are, Furuya.
[04:59] Ot
Hey! Doctor Higuchi told you not to practice.
[05:05] Fu
I won't say it doesn't hurt,
[05:07] Fu
but it doesn't feel that bad
when I have it taped up.
[05:11] Fu
I can play.
[05:14] Fu
No. I will play.
[05:18] Ot
I knew he'd say that.
[05:20] Re
At least he was honest about the pain.
[05:24] Ka
Okay.
[05:25] Ka
Let's have Doctor Higuchi
take another look tomorrow morning.
[05:29] Ot
Then he can play,
depending on what he says?
[05:32] Ka
Furuya is our ace, after all.
[05:34] Ka
We need him.
[05:38] Ka
Ace, after all.
[05:41] Ka
Our ace, after all.
[05:45] Ka
I want you to know.
[05:46] Ka
I'll decide after hearing
what the doctor has to say.
[05:49] Ka
Got it?
[05:50] Fu
It doesn't hurt anymore.
[05:51] Ka
Shut up!
[05:53] [SONG] On-screen
Learn today Devote every moment
[05:53] Ka
Rest up and hope it gets better.
[05:56] Ka
That's the only thing you can do right now.
[05:58] Ka
Sleep with your foot above the heart, too.
[06:00] Fu
Yes, sir!
[06:01] Oc
He didn't say he won't let him pitch,
[06:04] Oc
but he convinced him, nonetheless.
[06:07] Oc
Telling the team to play without Furuya
[06:10] Oc
could affect the team negatively, as well.
[06:13] Oc
I see. I see.
[06:15] Oc
This should keep the team's morale high.
[06:25] Mi
I see. That's good.
[06:27] Mi
If they're deciding tomorrow,
it must not be too bad.
[06:31] Ka
For tomorrow's starting pitcher,
[06:34] Ka
I want to ask you to do it, Kawakami.
[06:39] Ka
You only faced the cleanup, Nagata, today,
[06:42] Ka
but I want to see more pitching
like that for the final.
[06:47] Ka
Yes, sir!
[06:48] Sh
You got your chance.
[06:50] Mi
I could tell he wanted to pitch more
from catching his pitches.
[06:54] Mi
I think we can expect
a lot from him tomorrow.
[06:59] Ha
This is rare.
[07:00] Ha
You're not complaining.
[07:02] Sa
I have no right to complain
when I gave up the tying runs.
[07:06] Ha
Your eyes...
[07:08] Sa
However! I won't let it end like this!
[07:10] Sa
I'm a man who never gives up!
[07:12] Sa
I will be getting ready in the bullpen!
[07:15] Ku
Shut up!
[07:16] Ka
Stop talking to yourself out loud!
[07:18] Sa
Boss!
[07:18] Sa
Does this work for you?
[07:21] Ka
Yeah.
[07:21] Sa
Yes, Boss!
[07:23] S1
He sells himself well.
[07:25] Ka
Wamura, you're so reliably stupid.
[07:28] Sa
There are still things I can do, too.
[07:30] To
When he takes it this far,
it's pretty admirable.
[07:36] Wa
I think you already know
after watching it from the stands.
SIGN Nabe Time
[07:40] Wa
Todoroki and Sanada are the two
we have to really be careful of.
[07:44] Wa
Sanada relieved in the third inning today,
[07:48] Wa
so I doubt he'll be starting tomorrow.
[07:50] Wa
It's probably going to be Mishima or Akiba,
[07:53] Wa
but Yakushi is known for
doing unexpected things.
[07:56] Wa
So it's very likely that
Raichi Todoroki will start.
[08:00] Sa
What?
[08:01] Wa
He pitched two innings in both
their second game and the quarterfinal.
[08:06] Wa
He's a power pitcher who pitches fastballs.
[08:09] Sa
I don't think it's that easy to be a pitcher!
[08:12] Wa
Yeah.
[08:13] Wa
Let me finish, Sawamura.
[08:15] Wa
He takes a big step and
pitches from a low point,
[08:19] Wa
so his trajectory might feel unfamiliar.
[08:22] Wa
We can all take a look at the video later.
[08:26] S1
May I say something as a base coach?
SIGN Third base coach: Ryota Mimura
[08:28] S1
Yakushi's defense looked significantly
better compared to the summer...
[08:33] (Flashback) Y1
Over here?
[08:33] (Flashback) Y2
Over there!
[08:35] S1
...but their team synergy
wasn't exactly top notch.
[08:38] S1
Depending on the situation,
I'll be sending runners to the next base,
[08:40] S1
so please keep that in mind when running.
SIGN First base coach: Rei Kijima
[08:43] S2
I want to comment on
their fielding positions.
[08:45] S2
They may change their positions drastically,
depending on the batter,
[08:49] S2
so please double check their positions
before your turn to bat.
[08:52] Ot
Is that all?
[08:53] S1
Yes, sir.
[08:55] Ot
Then, captains and vice captains...
[08:56] Ot
You guys wanna make a closing statement?
[08:58] Ma
Y-Yes, sir.
[09:01] Ma
Um... After the creation
of the new team... Um...
[09:05] Ma
it's been a long, but seemingly short,
[09:07] Ma
yet not exactly fast, and... Um...
[09:09] M1
You can do it.
[09:11] M2
This is painful.
[09:13] Ma
Anyway, let's do our best tomorrow!
[09:16] S1
Way to end the speech.
[09:18] S2
You said "um" too much, Zono-san!
[09:20] Ma
Shut up!
[09:21] Ku
For a team that previously lost,
the word "revenge" means
[09:26] Ku
to defeat the opponent that
previously defeated them.
[09:29] Sa
Wow! You sound like an honor student!
[09:32] Ku
Kill anyone who gets in our way.
[09:34] [SONG] On-screen
Learn today Devote every moment
[09:34] Sa
Thank you for your honest words in the end.
[09:37] Ku
Come see me later, Sawamura.
[09:40] Ot
Now, Captain, please!
[09:41] Ot
Let's end it cleanly.
[09:42] Mi
You seem to be having fun.
[09:47] Mi
I don't know if I've been
doing a good job as a captain,
[09:51] Mi
but in my inauguration speech,
I said that results matter.
[09:55] Mi
Every game has been a trial,
but with every win,
[09:59] Mi
I felt that the team was getting stronger.
[10:03] Mi
I want to see what it's like
to play at nationals.
[10:07] Mi
The breadth,
[10:09] Mi
the sound, and the smell of the stadium.
[10:12] Mi
I want to go there and see for myself.
[10:15] Mi
I want to stand there.
[10:19] Mi
Let's win and go to the nationals!
[10:22] SS
Yeah!
[10:27] S1
What? Seriously?
[10:29] S2
The circuit training in the morning
is enough to crush your heart.
[10:33] S3
Yeah, it's bad.
[10:35] S4
The winter camp's basically hell.
[10:37] S5
The third day is the worst.
[10:39] S5
Makes you think it'll never end.
[10:40] S6
People stop talking, too.
[10:43] S7
It wasn't bad as a first-year,
not knowing what was coming.
[10:47] Is
You guys still have one more camp!
[10:49] Is
I'm so jealous.
[10:52] Ku
Don't joke around, please!
[10:53] Ma
Wh-Why are you telling us before the final?
[10:55] Is
Are you stupid?
[10:56] Is
If you make nationals, you'll have
something to look forward to.
[10:59] SS
What goes on at the winter camp?
[11:02] Ry
Well, the off-season menu might
change if the coach leaves.
[11:09] SS
That actually doesn't...
SIGN sound too bad...
[11:11] Is
Don't even think that for a second!
[11:13] Ry
Did that make you want to lose?
[11:14] Ku
That's not funny, Ryo-san.
[11:16] Is
You just need one more win!
[11:18] Is
Give the coach a ticket to nationals,
[11:21] Is
and tell him to his face to try and quit!
[11:24] Sa
Isashiki-senpai, that sounds super cool!
[11:26] Sa
Please let me do the honors!
[11:28] Sa
I'll smack it into his face!
[11:30] Is
It was an expression, stupid.
You don't actually get a ticket!
[11:33] Is
It doesn't matter if it's spring or summer.
[11:35] Is
Win!
[11:36] Is
You'd better win and go to nationals!
[11:38] SS
Yes, sir!
[11:39] Is
And I hope you all die in the winter camp!
[11:41] Ma
I thought you came to encourage us!
[11:44] Is
Of course we did!
[11:46] M1
That's his way of saying good luck.
[11:48] M2
Yeah.
[11:48] Ry
So how are you and Haruichi doing?
[11:52] Ry
Are you meshing well?
[11:53] Ku
No, we still have a long way to go.
[11:56] Ku
I think I'm being way too nice
compared to you.
[12:00] Ry
Was I that harsh?
[12:02] Ku
Of course you were!
[12:04] Ku
Do you not remember
the first thing you told me?
[12:07] Ry
Why would I remember
something like that?
[12:09] Ku
Seriously?
[12:10] Ku
I'll never forget it.
[12:14] Ta
Kawakami, the inside slider
you pitched last game.
[12:17] Ta
Was that coordinated beforehand?
[12:18] Ka
No, Miyuki asked for it out of the blue.
[12:21] Ka
I chuckled on the mound, thanks to that.
[12:23] Ta
The batter was confused, too.
[12:26] Mi
You're starting tomorrow, right?
[12:28] Ka
Yes, sir!
[12:29] Mi
Make sure it's not shriveled up
from being nervous—
[12:36] Mi
Nice block.
[12:38] Mi
You've improved.
[12:39] Ka
I still have a ways to go.
[12:41] Mi
I'm excited for tomorrow.
[12:42] Ta
What are you doing?
[12:44] S1
Hey, where's the hero in the shadows?
[12:47] S2
Yeah, where is he?
[12:49] S1
It was overshadowed
by Miyuki's heroic block,
[12:51] S1
but Aso's throw back home was good.
[12:53] Is
Oh?
[12:54] S3
It was perfect.
[12:55] Is
He throws super quick after he catches,
and it's not really his shoulder strength.
[12:59] M1
He's been involved in runs
two games in a row,
[13:01] M1
so he's on an upswing.
[13:03] M2
It's great he's doing well.
[13:04] Is
So where is he?
[13:06] S1
He went to the restroom a bit ago.
[13:08] S2
Uh... I wanna play games.
[13:10] S3
Yeah! He leaves at the worst times.
[13:13] M1
I think this should be enough for everyone.
[13:15] M2
I don't know.
[13:17] M3
We always think it's too much,
but they always go through it quickly.
[13:20] M4
Everyone's been practicing
overtime since the third-years left.
[13:26] M3
So I'm sure it'll be no different tonight.
[13:31] M1
Two consecutive finals.
[13:34] M1
It's impressive.
[13:38] Ch
How is your ankle feeling?
[13:40] Fu
F-Fine.
[13:42] Yu
You had an aura in the second half.
[13:45] Yu
I'm sure you looked reliable to the fielders.
[13:49] Yu
The ace number is starting to fit you.
[13:55] Ry
Oh? Since when?
[13:57] Is
Furuya must've been really
good today if Tetsu approves.
[14:02] Ry
What about his early game?
[14:03] Yu
It was good today.
[14:04] Yu
His presence on the mound, too.
[14:07] Ta
Why are you sweating?
[14:09] Is
I'm jealous you guys
already got into colleges.
[14:13] Is
You can go watch every game.
[14:15] Is
If you guys don't want
to study, go to nationals.
[14:18] Is
It'll help you big time in going to college.
[14:20] Ma
Jun-san, that's not a joke.
[14:23] Is
When you're on the field,
your age doesn't matter.
[14:26] SS
Yes, sir!
[14:29] S1
Good luck at the final!
[14:31] Sh
Thank you!
[14:35] Ku
Y-You're so round!
[14:39] Ch
Will you be ready for tomorrow?
[14:44] Mi
Oh, he means the team.
[14:46] Mi
I don't know.
[14:48] Mi
It's been a rough road this far.
[14:51] (Flashback) S1
What are you doing?
[14:52] (Flashback) Mi
But does being the captain mean
I can't say what I want?
[14:56] (Flashback) Mi
If you truly don't want to be on the team,
[14:59] (Flashback) Mi
and you want to focus on studying,
I won't stop you.
[15:02] (Flashback) Ka
If you can't play every
game as one team,
[15:06] (Flashback) Ka
how do you think you'll get to nationals?
SIGN October 24 (Sun), 12:00 Jingu Stadium
[15:08] Mi
You know how they say...
[15:10] Mi
The fastest way to bring
a team together is to win.
[15:14] Mi
If we'd made a wrong turn somewhere,
it could've destroyed our team.
[15:18] Mi
Even so,
[15:20] Mi
we want revenge for summer.
[15:21] Mi
We all came together easily
under one objective.
[15:31] Mi
We'll win.
[15:38] YC
You have a game tomorrow!
Don't overdo it!
[15:41] Y1
We know, but it's been our daily routine.
[15:44] Y1
We can't stop now.
[15:46] YC
Wow!
[15:47] YC
You sound like a good player.
[15:50] YC
Raichi!
[15:51] YC
You have two hundred more to go.
[15:54] YC
You struck out in an important situation.
[15:57] YC
He got completely shut down.
[16:00] YC
It's better to get him tired than
to have it on his mind tomorrow.
[16:06] Y1
See? They're practicing.
[16:08] Y2
Hey, Coach!
[16:16] YC
I told you to focus on studying.
[16:18] Y1
What? You did?
[16:19] YC
Yeah, multiple times!
[16:21] YC
If you don't study, you'll end up like me.
[16:24] Y1
Crap.
[16:25] YC
What do you mean by "crap"?
[16:26] YC
Where do you wanna go, anyway?
[16:28] YC
You haven't been studying,
so don't aim too high.
[16:31] YC
But be sure to come watch tomorrow.
[16:33] YC
I'll show you the moment we make nationals.
[16:36] Y1
You're so confident.
[16:39] YC
Well, I'm not the one playing.
[16:41] YC
Don't let me down, boys.
[16:43] YC
Take me to nationals.
[16:46] Y1
He's still saying it.
[16:47] YC
Everyone, say your goal for tomorrow.
[16:49] YC
Tell it to the third-years
for bringing some snacks.
[16:52] YY
Yes, sir!
SIGN Six-hole, Right fielder: Ryo Hirahata (Second-year)
[16:54] Y1
I was appointed as the captain,
but our team revolves around Sanada.
[16:58] Y1
I believe my job as the captain
is to help Sanada get going.
[17:03] Y1
I want to score early tomorrow
to be useful to the team!
[17:06] Y2
Said like a true captain.
[17:08] YC
Let me tell you!
[17:10] YC
He's a weirdo who always
makes his own goals
[17:13] YC
and diligently swings his bat every day.
[17:17] Y1
Am I weird?
[17:18] YC
Has anyone seen his notebook?
[17:20] YC
He has his whole life
planned out until he's fifty!
[17:23] Y1
You saw my notebook?
[17:25] YC
It didn't say he was gonna be
a captain on his plan,
[17:28] YC
so I wanted to see what'd happen.
[17:31] YC
I destroyed your plan, didn't I?
[17:33] Y1
Th-That was your reasoning?
[17:36] YC
But you're doing well.
[17:38] YC
Well, you sometimes fail big time.
SIGN Former Captain
[17:41] Y1
I know how you feel.
It was like that for me, too.
SIGN Two-hole, Second baseman: Atsushi Masuda (First-year)
[17:44] Y2
I think my job is to connect to the next player.
[17:47] Y2
I want to support
my team from the shadows.
[17:51] YC
Hey, don't try to play in the shadow.
[17:54] YC
You can try to hit home runs, too.
[17:56] Y2
But if I tried hitting home runs
and struck out every time,
[18:00] Y2
you wouldn't use me.
[18:02] YC
Right.
[18:02] Y2
So I'll stick to doing what I can.
[18:06] YC
I'm sorry.
[18:07] YC
Kids these days are so independent.
SIGN Eight-hole, Shortstop:
Yu Yonehara (Second-year)
[18:10] Y1
I won't be greedy about hitting many times.
[18:12] Y1
I want to hit one in an important situation.
SIGN Seven-hole, Center field:
Hideo Abe (Second-year)
[18:15] Y2
Surprisingly, he said my goal word-for-word.
[18:18] YC
Think for yourself!
SIGN Nine-hole, Left field: Makoto Moriyama (First-year)
[18:20] Y1
I haven't made any errors this tournament,
[18:22] Y1
so I want to play error-free
tomorrow, as well.
[18:25] YC
Please, no!
[18:26] YC
You'll be less nervous
if you make an error ASAP.
[18:29] Y1
I'll play perfectly!
SIGN One-hole, Catcher: Kazuma Akiba (First-year)
[18:31] Y2
I've been enjoying the difficult
tasks the coach gives me,
[18:36] Y2
I won't be surprised if he asks me
to start as a pitcher tomorrow.
[18:40] Y2
I want to do the tasks I'm given perfectly.
[18:42] YC
You're so reliable!
[18:44] YC
I'm gonna cry as a coach hearing that.
[18:47] Mi
As the ace and cleanup,
SIGN Three-hole, First baseman: Yuta Mishima (First-year)
[18:49] Mi
the title "dual-wielder" suits me well.
[18:53] Mi
Coach, give me the green light!
[18:55] YC
I'm tired of hearing that.
SIGN Five-hole, Pitcher: Shunpei Sanada (Second-year)
[18:56] Sa
I don't really have anything to say,
[19:00] Sa
but I have a feeling we'll win tomorrow.
[19:02] Y1
You have a feeling?
[19:04] Sa
Yeah. Just a feeling, though.
[19:06] YC
He has good intuition.
[19:08] YC
I think we've got this game won, boys!
[19:10] Sa
Please don't do that to me.
[19:12] YC
Hey, Raichi! Stop eating already.
[19:14] YC
Say something!
SIGN Four-hole, third baseman: Raichi Todoroki (First-year)
[19:34] Y1
Say something already, Raichi!
[19:36] Y2
You're bright red!
[19:38] Y3
You're so shy!
[19:39] Y4
You're a different person on the field!
[19:41] Sa
He's unbeliveably slow outside of baseball.
[19:44] Mi
Get it together, Raichi!
[19:47] Mi
It's your fault that the playboys
in class make fun of us!
[19:51] Ra
I'll smack them!
[19:52] Y1
There's his baseball mode!
[19:53] Mi
There's no in-between.
[19:55] YC
You can't be good at everything.
[19:57] Mi
It's basically impossible for him!
[20:01] Ra
I want...
[20:03] Ra
I want to play against
many different pitchers,
[20:07] Ra
so I want to go.
[20:13] Ra
I want to go...
[20:15] Ra
...to nationals with everyone here.
[20:24] (Flashback) Y1
We'll be waiting.
[20:26] (Flashback) Y1
Waiting for the day
everyone knows your name.
[20:31] Y2
Hit tomorrow!
[20:32] Y3
Raichi!
[20:40] Sa
It's basically my duty.
[20:43] Sa
I can't let an amazing batter
like him disappear.
[20:51] YC
You know...
[20:54] YC
The word "effort" has never
really stuck with me.
[20:57] YC
People make it sound like
it's about overcoming boring hardships.
[21:02] YC
But it's not about that.
[21:04] YC
When you're addicted to something,
[21:07] YC
you put in the work,
regardless of your peers.
[21:11] YC
It's luck or a fluke?
[21:14] YC
Who cares if someone says that?
[21:16] YC
We're the ones on the field!
[21:18] YC
We're the ones addicted to baseball!
[21:21] YC
It wasn't anyone else.
[21:23] YC
We got here with our own legs.
[21:26] YC
Win and take me to nationals!
[21:28] YY
Yes, sir!
[21:30] Y1
That's how it ends?
[21:33] Y2
Beautiful speech.
[21:34] YC
Shut up!
[21:37] Ra
I don't want to let...
[21:39] Ra
...my team down.
[21:48] Ra
I want to meet...
[21:50] Ra
...my own expectations.
[21:55] Ra
I want to...
[23:30] Ka
I don't consider Furuya
as a potential player.
[23:33] Oc
It's easy if Kataoka-san's saying that much.
[23:36] Ot
But with Sawamura's
track record against Yakushi,
[23:38] Ot
we can't trust him
with an important situation.
[23:42] Sa
Which one of my pitches can strike him out?
[23:43] Mi
If he can pitch this into
Todoroki's chest, then...
[23:48] Mi
Next time on Ace of the Diamond Season 2:
