    Tanba.
[00:03] Ka
    We're up by three runs.
[00:06] Ka
    It's in your hands now.
[00:11] Yu
    Let's go!
[00:13] SS
    Yeah!
[00:15] Sa
    Three more outs!
[00:17] Sa
    Let's stay focused this last inning!
[00:21] S1
    Let's go, Tanba!
[00:23] Ka
    Tanba-san, you've got this!
[00:25] S1
    Tanba-san!
[00:27] S2
    One at a time! One at a time!
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[00:32] YC
    Three runs down?
[00:35] YC
    The perfect number
    to turn the game around.
[00:38] YC
    The crowd will love it, too.
[00:44] YC
    Get some guys on base
    and bring Raichi to bat.
[00:48] YC
    You guys have faith in Raichi, too, right?
[00:52] YC
    I haven't even thought
    for a second that we'll lose.
SIGN    The Winning Shot
[02:46] Y1
    Yeah!
[02:46] Y2
    That one's a hit!
[02:54] Um
    Out!
[02:59] S1
    Two outs!
[03:00] S2
    Two outs!
[03:02] S3
    Two outs!
[03:03] S4
    Two outs!
[03:04] S1
    Just one more!
[03:08] SS
    Just one more!
[03:12] Sa
    You're looking good, Tanba-san!
[03:14] Ha
    Let's stay focused!
SIGN    Batting ninth, center fielder, Ota-kun.
[03:20] Y1
    Let's go!
[03:36] Mi
    Tanba-san!
[03:39] Mi
    One more out.
[03:41] Mi
    If you can get him out,
[03:43] Mi
    Todoroki won't make it to bat.
[03:49] Y1
    We can't let it end.
[03:53] Y1
    I have to get on base.
[03:55] Y1
    No matter what!
[04:16] Mi
    Yes!
[04:17] Mi
    Third base!
[04:28] Ma
    The bounce changed!
[04:30] R1
    A hit straight to third bounced irregularly!
[04:37] YC
    Dive for it, Ota!
[04:49] Y1
    We've got our foot in the door!
[05:00] YC
    Hit it hard, Raichi.
[05:02] YC
    The god of baseball
    wants to see you hit, too.
[05:07] R1
    Two outs and a runner on first.
[05:09] R1
    Seido is up by three,
[05:10] R1
    but they can't be happy
    about facing this batter.
[05:13] R2
    Yeah.
[05:14] R2
    If he gets a hit,
     the tide will definitely change.
[05:19] C1
    Todoroki!
[05:20] C2
    Show us a big one!
[05:21] Y1
    Raichi!
[05:23] I1
    The next two batters are both good, too,
[05:26] I1
    so they can't let him hit anything big.
[05:29] I2
    They're up by three.
[05:31] I2
    They just need to shut him out head-on.
[05:34] I3
    Don't be afraid, Tanba!
[05:41] Mi
    Let's take him on, Tanba-san.
[05:44] Mi
    If we don't take him out,
[05:47] Mi
    there'll be no way for us
    to stop Yakushi's momentum.
[06:03] I1
    Don't fight him.
[06:09] I1
    Don't fight him, Koichiro.
[06:18] C1
    Tanba!
[06:19] C2
    Raichi!
[06:21] Ma
    Seido!
[06:22] C3
    Yakushi!
[06:26] SS
     Seido! Seido! Seido!
[06:31] Y1
    Raichi!
[06:32] Y1
    Smash it!
[06:34] Y2
    No banana for you, otherwise!
[06:36] Y3
    Hit it!
[06:38] Mi
    In the past four at-bats,
[06:39] Mi
    he's had two hits.
[06:42] Mi
    Furuya's fastball and
    Sawamura's high ball.
[06:46] Mi
    Let's collect the balls low.
[06:57] Um
    Ball.
[06:58] Mi
    Okay! Okay!
[07:00] Mi
    Nice ball!
[07:01] Mi
    That was a good one!
[07:05] Mi
    He didn't even move.
[07:10] Ma
    Let's go aggressive!
[07:11] Ka
    You've got this, Tanba-san!
[07:16] Um
    Ball!
[07:18] Ka
    So close!
[07:19] S1
    That was fine!
[07:20] Ma
    Your pitch has power!
[07:22] Ka
    Your fastball's looking good!
[07:26] I1
    A curve ball followed by a fastball.
[07:28] I1
    He didn't even move
    for the two outside balls.
[07:32] I2
    He's been swinging
    at close ones before,
[07:35] I2
    so it's a little bit scary.
[07:36] I3
    Maybe he's waiting for an inside pitch?
[07:44] Mi
    It would've helped if he
    had swung at one of them.
[07:48] Mi
    At this point,
[07:50] Mi
    we just need to make sure
    we don't feed him anything easy.
[07:53] Y1
    Smash it away!
[07:55] Y1
    Raichi!
[07:56] Y2
    Eyes on the ball!
[07:58] Y3
    Swing for it!
[07:59] Y4
    Raichi!
[08:11] Ra
    I'll get a hit.
[08:13] Ra
    I have to.
[08:15] Ra
    No matter what,
[08:17] Ra
    I have to get on base.
[08:20] Ra
    I need to get a hit.
[08:23] Ra
    That's what the team wants from me!
[08:31] Mi
    It's weak!
[08:35] Mi
    It's over!
[08:43] Mi
    It's weak!
[08:46] Mi
    It's over!
[08:55] Um
    Foul!
[09:00] Mi
    He messed up?
[09:02] Y1
    What's wrong, Raichi?
[09:04] Y1
    You tense?
[09:07] Ra
    I'll hit.
[09:09] Ra
    I must!
[09:12] Mi
    He's...
[09:15] Mi
    Give me a strong fastball, Tanba-san!
[09:20] Mi
    It's Tanba-san's first
    appearance this summer,
[09:24] Mi
    and he's only thrown
    curve balls and fastballs.
[09:29] Mi
    We still have...
[09:32] Mi
    ...a secret weapon
    they don't know about.
[09:39] Um
    Foul!
[09:41] SS
    We've got him cornered.
[09:43] YC
    His swing doesn't have its usual energy.
[09:47] YC
    Don't tell me...
[09:48] YC
    ...that idiot's...
[09:50] YC
    Raichi!
[09:52] YC
    Don't think!
[09:54] YC
    Just do your usual thing!
[09:57] YC
    Enjoy your battle with the pitcher!
[10:02] Ra
    Hit!
[10:04] Ra
    Hit!
[10:06] Ra
    The entire team's depending on me.
[10:13] YC
    No!
[10:14] YC
    He can't hear me!
[10:16] Mi
    Let's end this, Tanba-san.
[10:20] Mi
    With this.
[10:27] R2
    Top of the ninth,
[10:29] R2
    two outs and a runner on first.
[10:31] R2
    The count is 2-2.
[10:34] R1
    The winning team will advance
     to the semifinal.
[10:37] Sa
    Tanba-san!
[10:39] Yu
    Pitch to contact, Tanba!
[10:41] Ku
    Let's end this!
[10:42] Ry
    You've got him cornered.
[10:44] ---
    Yeah!
[10:45] Is
    Kill him!
[10:47] Ta
    All this time,
[10:49] Ta
    I've been nothing but
    a nuisance for the team.
[10:56] Ta
    I'll end this game right here.
[11:08] Ta
    Right here!
[11:12] YY
    Raichi!
[11:18] Ra
    It's the same pitch.
[11:21] Ra
    Fastball!
[11:24] Ra
    This time...
[11:28] Ra
    I'll smash it away!
[11:48] YC
    A forkball?
[11:50] YC
    Where did that come from?
[11:55] YC
    No.
[11:57] YC
    When we were cornered,
[12:01] YC
    the game was already over.
[12:04] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[12:08] Um
    Game set!
[12:19] I1
    That last pitch...
[12:22] I2
    Yeah.
[12:23] I2
    When did he learn to throw that?
[12:27] Mi
    Nice pitch, Tanba-san!
[12:31] Yu
    Nice pitch!
[12:34] Ch
    Tanba.
[12:35] Ta
    Ouch.
[12:36] Ku
    Excuse me, too!
[12:39] I1
    Koichiro.
[12:41] R1
    T-Todoroki-kun struck out.
[12:46] R2
    Yeah.
[12:47] R2
    Who would've expected
    a forkball to come out here?
[12:51] R1
    But didn't Todoroki-kun's
    swing look sluggish this time?
[13:00] R2
    He couldn't take the pressure.
[13:07] R2
    He usually looks like he's enjoying
    the battle against the pitcher.
[13:14] R2
    But this time, in the last inning,
[13:18] R2
    he tried to swing for his team.
[13:23] R2
    Not for himself,
[13:26] R2
    but for the team.
[13:31] R1
    I see.
[13:32] R1
    He was never part of
    a team until high school,
[13:36] R1
    and always just practiced by himself.
[13:40] R2
    He wanted to swing for the team.
[13:43] R2
    Ironically,
[13:45] R2
    that pressure made his bat heavier.
[13:54] Um
    Line up!
SIGN    Yakushi Seido
[14:12] Um
    Bow!
[14:13] EE
    Good game!
[14:27] C1
    Nice fight!
[14:28] C2
    Good luck next year!
[14:34] Y1
    Don't cry, Raichi.
[14:36] Y1
    If you couldn't hit it,
    none of us could've.
[14:39] Y2
    No one blames you.
[14:45] Y3
    Coach!
[14:51] Y3
    Thank you very much for
    these past eighteen months!
[14:55] YY
    Thank you!
[14:58] Y3
    You told us complicated things,
    and were never easy on us,
[15:02] Y3
    but you made every day meaningful.
[15:06] Y4
    Don't rely on others.
[15:08] Y4
    Think for yourself.
[15:10] Y5
    Have responsibility for your own plays.
[15:13] Y6
    These are all things you taught us.
[15:15] Y6
    You also taught us—
[15:17] YC
    Doesn't matter if you lose.
[15:19] YC
    In a game, it's over if you lose.
[15:30] Y3
    Still, thank you so much
    for teaching us baseball!
[15:33] Y4
    You gave us something new every day!
[15:36] Y5
    And these past eighteen months
     flew by in a second.
[15:40] Y3
    Thank you so much, Coach Todoroki!
[15:43] YY
    Thank you!
[15:49] Y3
    Sanada!
[15:50] Y3
    You've gotta take the coach
    to nationals next year.
[15:54] Sa
    Yes, sir.
[15:55] Y3
    Akiba, Mishima.
[15:57] Y3
    You, too.
[15:58] Y3
    You guys are monsters compared to us.
[16:01] Y3
    Good luck.
[16:03] Y4
    Raichi.
[16:06] Y4
    We'll be waiting.
[16:08] Y5
    Waiting for the day
    everyone knows your name.
[16:16] YC
    Back to square one.
[16:19] YC
    Both you and I...
[16:23] YC
    ...are still learning
    so much from these guys.
[16:33] YC
    Let's get stronger, Raichi.
[16:37] YC
    With everyone on this team.
[16:45] C1
    Miyuki!
[16:47] C2
    Tetsu!
[16:48] C3
    Nice game!
[16:49] C4
    Nice pitch, Tanba!
[16:51] C5
    Boss!
[16:53] C6
    Kataoka-san!
[16:54] C7
    Just two more!
[16:56] C8
    Let's go to nationals this year!
[16:58] C9
    You guys have the power!
[17:00] C1
    Seido is the best!
[17:03] C2
    Tetsu-san!
[17:04] C3
    Furuya-kun!
[17:06] C4
    Isashiki!
[17:09] Ha
    Something wrong, Eijun-kun?
[17:12] Sa
    Oh, well...
[17:20] (Flashback) Um
    Bow!
[17:21] (Flashback) EE
    Good game!
[17:26] (Flashback) Sa
    Todoroki!
[17:29] (Flashback) Sa
    I won't lose next time!
[17:31] (Flashback) Ha
    Hey, Eijun-kun!
[17:33] (Flashback) Y1
    What?
[17:34] (Flashback) Y1
    You guys won!
[17:36] (Flashback) Y1
    Are you being sarcastic?
[17:37] (Flashback) Ha
    Sorry, he's an idiot.
[17:40] (Flashback) Sa
    I won't lose!
[17:42] (Flashback) Sa
    Give me your hand.
[17:43] (Flashback) Sa
    Let's shake!
[17:55] Sa
    His hand...
[17:57] Sa
    ...was as hard as a rock.
[18:04] Sa
    How much do you have to swing...
[18:06] Sa
    ...for your hands to be like that?
[18:11] Sa
    Just how much...
[18:14] Sa
    I can't lose, no matter what.
[18:23] Is
    Sucks for you guys.
[18:25] Is
    You've got three years with that monster.
[18:29] Ry
    That team's gonna get even stronger.
[18:32] Mi
    Though we have to analyze
    today's game first.
[18:35] Ch
    Sawamura especially has a lot to look at.
[18:39] Sa
    A lot?
[18:40] Mi
    You're not off the hook, either, Furuya.
[19:17] R1
    In the end, Seido advanced to the semifinal.
[19:20] R1
    They need two more wins
    to make it to nationals.
[19:23] R1
    They have an aggressive batting
    line-up around Yuki-kun
[19:27] R1
    and a four-man pitching line-up.
[19:31] R1
    What's more, with their ace,
    Tanba-kun's appearance,
[19:35] R1
    they stopped Yakushi's momentum.
[19:38] R1
    They may be stronger than Inashiro.
[19:43] R2
    A first-year felt everyone's
    expectations as pressure,
[19:48] R2
    but a third-year turned them into strength.
[19:54] R2
    What turned out to be
    the key to the final showdown...
[19:57] R2
    ...was the amount of time they had
    spent with their teammates.
[20:03] R2
    Your high school baseball career
    is only two-and-a-half years long.
[20:08] R2
    However, even in that small time frame,
[20:12] R2
    people can show incredible growth.
[20:17] (Flashback) Ta
    Kacchan, I think I'll go to Seido.
[20:21] (Flashback) Ta
    I-I can't just...
[20:23] (Flashback) Ta
    ...keep walking behind you, Kacchan.
[20:28] (Flashback) Ta
    I want...
[20:29] (Flashback) Ta
    ...to be a pitcher who
    can walk beside you.
[20:34] (Flashback) Ta
    I want to change at Seido.
[20:45] I1
    Tanba learned a forkball.
[20:50] I1
    It was a nice pitch.
[20:53] I2
    Yeah.
[20:54] I2
    It was a great pitch.
[20:56] I3
    I hate to admit it,
[20:59] I3
    but Seido is strong this year.
[21:01] I4
    With the two first-year pitchers,
[21:04] I4
    their pitching line-up has greatly improved.
[21:07] I5
    They're all different types, too.
[21:12] I3
    Damn it!
[21:14] I3
    I'm really itching for some action now!
[21:18] I1
    How about we go see practice tomorrow?
[21:22] I1
    I'm sure the coach will love it.
[21:26] I3
    I'm busy studying.
[21:28] I3
    I want to go to the beach, too.
[21:31] I1
    Don't lie about studying.
[21:33] I3
    Shut up!
[21:34] I1
    Twelve o' clock tomorrow then, okay?
[21:37] I3
    Who put you in charge?
[21:38] I1
    You're coming anyway, aren't you?
[21:41] I4
    Let's talk to the other guys, too.
[21:48] I2
    You've come this far,
[21:51] I2
    so go all the way.
[21:54] I2
    Go to nationals...
[21:58] I2
    ...Koichiro.
[23:36] Mi
    We've advanced to the semifinal.
[23:38] Mi
    We're up against
    the prestigious Sensen Academy.
[23:40] Ch
    Their ace, Maki, is a good, tall pitcher
     with a fastball from up high
[23:43] Ch
    and a curve ball with a large drop.
[23:45] Ch
    How do we overcome this?
[23:47] Fu
    And then, Masuko-senpai...
[23:49] Sa
    Furuya!
[23:50] Sa
    You need to be louder when
    you're saying something important!
[23:52] Fu
    Masuko-senpai...
[23:53] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    It's the Semifinal.
SIGN    It's the Semifinal
[23:57] Mi
    Let's win the national title!
