[00:01] Na
    So that's where the
    National Stadium used to be.
[00:04] I1
    Hurry up, please!
[00:05] I1
    The game's already started.
[00:08] Na
    I wonder what kind of life
    I would've had if I'd played soccer first.
[00:12] Na
    Would I have been
    in Italy or Spain right now?
[00:14] I1
    Stop joking around.
[00:16] Na
    I'm dead serious.
[00:18] Na
    The weather's great today.
[00:20] Na
    Let's take a nap.
[00:21] I1
    No!
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
SIGN    Fastball,
    Featuring Todoroki
SIGN    Top of the second. Seido is up to bat.
SIGN    Batting fifth and first baseman, Maezono-kun.
[02:01] Is
    Zono! Go for it!
[02:04] Is
    I helped you practice last night!
    You'd better show up!
[02:08] Ry
    I saw him hitting by himself.
SIGN    Mishima winds up big!
SIGN    A strike on the outside!
[02:23] Y1
    We know he's strong with the inside,
[02:26] Y1
    but we have to pitch it
    somewhere down the line.
[02:31] Y1
    Let's pitch a tough one right here
[02:33] Y1
    and finish him with an outside.
[02:36] Ry
    He's swinging big.
[02:38] Ry
    I think he tightened up trying to show off.
[02:41] Ry
    It's your fault, Jun.
[02:44] Is
    He's always tight.
[02:47] (Flashback) Ma
    Jun-san, could you look at my swing soon?
[02:52] (Flashback) Is
    You swing every day, so why should I?
[02:54] (Flashback) Ma
    But I have a game tomorrow!
[02:56] (Flashback) Is
    That's exactly why!
[02:58] (Flashback) Is
    Swinging the bat mindlessly
    isn't going to get you anywhere.
[03:05] (Flashback) Ma
    I know.
[03:06] (Flashback) Ma
    There's no point in trying
    something new and breaking my form.
[03:09] (Flashback) Ma
    I'm going to stick to my
    usual swing until the end.
[03:15] (Flashback) Is
    Then my job here is done.
[03:18] (Flashback) Is
    I'm glad you're so confident.
[03:20] (Flashback) Ma
    Jun-san, aren't you gonna give me pointers?
[03:22] (Flashback) Is
    Shut up! I'm busy studying for my tests!
[03:30] Is
    His eyes were brimming with confidence.
[03:34] Is
    Go ahead and show me your style.
[03:41] Y1
    You swung at that?
[03:43] Mi
    Left field!
[03:48] Y2
    Wait.
[03:49] Y3
    It's way up front!
[03:51] Y3
    Don't get confused by his face and swing!
[03:53] Y3
    It barely flew!
SIGN    Weak
[04:02] Ry
    Even for that?
[04:05] Is
    Don't celebrate like you just won the game!
[04:08] Is
    I'm getting embarrassed!
[04:10] Ry
    What a weak hit. Reminds me of you.
[04:13] Yu
    Yeah.
[04:13] Sa
    I should roar like him from now on!
[04:16] Ry
    Please don't become even more annoying.
[04:20] Y1
    There's no way someone
    can be that good with the inside.
[04:23] Y1
    We can't pitch any to him.
SIGN    Seido's Shirasu is looking to bunt.
SIGN    It's a slug bunt and run!
[04:41] ---
    What?
SIGN    First base runner goes to third!
SIGN    They've put themselves in scoring position!
[04:53] S1
    Yeah!
[04:54] S1
    Nice one, Shirasu!
[04:55] S2
    You're so reliable!
[04:58] Ka
    He's really amazing.
[05:00] To
    Yeah.
[05:02] To
    He's not flashy, but he's very consistent.
[05:05] To
    No one's as reliable as he is on the field.
[05:11] To
    He's someone to look up to as an outfielder.
[05:16] Sa
    A flying squirrel!
[05:17] Sa
    Shirasu-senpai is a flying squirrel!
[05:19] Fu
    Or maybe a giant flying squirrel.
    They can glide longer—
[05:22] Sa
    Stop butting in!
[05:24] Sh
    I can't fly.
SIGN    Batting seventh and third baseman, Higasa-kun.
SIGN    Higasa is back in the starting roster after five games.
[05:34] S1
    Let's get a run here.
[05:37] S2
    Higasa, let's get it!
[05:39] YC
    Infield! Watch out for their squeeze bunt!
[05:41] YC
    I'm not too concerned about a run,
    but don't give it to them for free!
SIGN    The middle infielders are in position to make a double play.
SIGN    Higasa is aggressive from the first pitch!
SIGN    A foul over the third base line!
[06:03] Y1
    He's not bunting?
[06:05] YC
    They're on the offensive.
[06:07] YC
    They're looking for more
    than just a run here.
[06:10] S1
    He swings with no hesitation.
[06:13] S1
    That's his strong point.
[06:16] Ka
    Higasa-senpai, good timing!
[06:18] Ka
    Good swing!
[06:19] Ka
    You've got this!
[06:22] Hi
    Kanemaru...
[06:24] Hi
    That's right.
[06:26] Hi
    Fighting over the roster isn't
    what's important right now.
[06:32] Hi
    We'll go to nationals if we win!
SIGN    A big hit to left field!
SIGN    This should make it easy for Maezono.
SIGN    He's going for the tag up!
SIGN    Seido scores the first run of the Fall Tokyo Tournament Final!
SIGN    A great gift to Kawakami from his fellow second-year teammates.
[06:59] Ma
    Let's go!
[07:02] Hi
    Damn! It was a bit short.
[07:05] S1
    Just a bit.
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
SIGN    Batting ninth and left fielder, Aso-kun.
[07:27] Sa
    A blue marlin!
[07:28] Fu
    A black marlin.
[07:30] Is
    That was close.
SIGN    What a catch!
SIGN    Todoroki catches Aso's hit to retire the side!
[07:37] Y1
    Your hat!
SIGN    Seido advanced their runner to third, but couldn't score another!
SIGN    Their innings ends with one run!
[07:45] Y1
    Wait! Todoroki, as in...
[07:47] Y2
    Yeah!
[07:49] YC
    Raichi! I love you!
[07:52] Y1
    Seriously?
[07:53] Y1
    The one in our class?
[07:55] Y2
    He jumped ultra high!
[07:57] Y3
    So that's how he is when he isn't shy?
[08:00] Y4
    That's so crazy!
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
SIGN    Bottom of the second, Yakushi is up to bat.
SIGN    Batting sixth and right fielder, Hirahata-kun.
[08:19] Is
    He's looking sharp.
[08:21] Ry
    Yeah. Real sharp.
[08:28] (Flashback) Ka
    Raichi Todoroki is Yakushi's ace batter.
[08:32] (Flashback) Ka
    Depending on the situation,
    we may have to walk him.
[08:37] (Flashback) Ka
    However, we can't win if
    we go into it with a weak mindset.
[08:41] (Flashback) Ka
    In this game, no matter
    who you're up against,
[08:44] (Flashback) Ka
    don't run away.
[08:49] Mi
    Okay, let's go!
[08:51] (Flashback) Ka
    Pitch with a strong will
    and reach for the win!
[08:58] (Flashback) Ka
    You guys are capable of that.
[09:00] Ka
    Yeah!
SIGN    Strikeout!
SIGN    Kawakami easily takes out their six-, seven-, and eight-holes.
[09:08] S1
    Nice pitch!
[09:09] S2
    Nice, Nori!
[09:12] Ka
    Nice pitch.
[09:13] Ka
    Pitch just like that
    to the top of their lineup, too.
[09:16] Ka
    Yes, sir!
[09:18] Mi
    Being told to be ready to fight
    is a lot more exciting as a pitcher
[09:22] Mi
    than being told to walk Todoroki every time.
[09:27] Mi
    Nori's playing with a strong mindset today.
[09:33] SF
    Here you go!
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
SIGN    Top of the third. Seido is up to bat.
SIGN    Batting first and shortstop, Kuramochi-kun.
[09:50] Mi
    I'll go three for three
    this inning to turn the tide.
[09:56] Mi
    In order to pitch nine innings,
    I want to keep my pitch count low.
SIGN    Kuramochi hits!
SIGN    It goes over and behind the shortstop!
SIGN    Yoichi Kuramochi manages to get on base again!
[10:15] Is
    He's on a roll!
[10:17] Ry
    He's reacting well.
[10:19] Sa
    That's our weasel!
[10:20] Sa
    Weasel on base!
[10:22] Fu
    You took my suggestion?
[10:24] Ku
    Just call me cheetah!
[10:26] Sh
    You liked that name?
[10:28] Sa
    What's with the animal nicknames?
SIGN    Batting second and center fielder, Tojo-kun.
[10:36] Y1
    Worrying about the runner
    won't get us anywhere.
[10:40] Y1
    Let's focus on the batter, Yuta.
[10:42] Y1
    Frankly, I don't think we can get him out.
[10:46] Mi
    So we're just gonna give it to him for free?
[10:51] Mi
    Die!
[10:55] Mi
    Die again!
[10:56] Y1
    Yuta!
[10:58] Ka
    Yakushi's starter, Yuta Mishima.
[11:01] Ka
    He hates losing, and he has
    qualities of a good pitcher.
[11:06] Ka
    In order to drag Sanada
    out as soon as possible,
[11:10] Ka
    we can't let him perform.
[11:15] Sa
    Steal!
[11:18] Ka
    Swing at every easy strike.
[11:23] Ka
    As a runner, go as far as you can.
[11:28] Y1
    Damn! I won't make third.
[11:31] Y1
    Yone!
[11:43] Y2
    Home!
SIGN    He's not stopping at third!
[11:46] Y3
    Seriously?
SIGN    He scores!
SIGN    That's their second run!
[11:59] Sa
    That's our weasel!
SIGN    Kuramochi scores from first off of a base hit!
[12:07] I1
    He didn't slow down for a second.
[12:10] Ca
    He must have a lot of faith
    in the third base coach.
[12:14] S1
    That play.
[12:15] S2
    Yeah.
[12:16] S2
    They saw the positioning of the
    center fielder and second baseman.
[12:19] S1
    Mimura was looking for that play.
[12:22] (Flashback) Mi
    Yakushi's defense looked significantly
    better compared to the summer...
[12:27] (Flashback) Mi
    ...but their team synergy
    wasn't exactly top notch.
[12:31] (Flashback) Mi
    Depending on the situation,
    I'll be sending runners to the next base,
[12:33] (Flashback) Mi
    so please keep that in mind when running.
[12:36] Ot
    This is Seido!
[12:41] Ku
    Mimura and I were looking for that play!
[12:43] Ku
    We got them good, all right!
[12:46] Ry
    Nice cheetah run.
[12:47] Ku
    I bet they're still shocked.
[12:49] Ku
    Go finish them before they
    figure out what happened, Haruichi.
[12:53] Ku
    Let's go!
[12:54] Sa
    Nice job, leg ghost!
[12:57] Ha
    He called me by name.
[13:00] Is
    Nice damn run, Kuramochi!
SIGN    Batting third and second baseman, Kominato-kun.
[13:06] Sa
    Haruo! Just swing!
[13:08] Sa
    Swing and pray!
[13:12] (Flashback) Ha
    There's something I wanted to ask you.
[13:16] (Flashback) Ry
    Oh?
[13:18] (Flashback) Ha
    Can I borrow your glove?
[13:22] (Flashback) Ha
    We couldn't go to nationals together,
[13:26] (Flashback) Ha
    but we can still play together.
[13:34] (Flashback) Ry
    No.
[13:36] (Flashback) Ha
    What?
[13:37] (Flashback) Ry
    You'll make the fit awkward.
[13:41] (Flashback) Ry
    Why would you say that now?
[13:44] (Flashback) Ry
    Are you dumb?
[13:48] (Flashback) Ry
    You should be using your own glove
    for tomorrow's important game.
[13:54] (Flashback) Ry
    I bet your glove is super surprised right now.
[13:58] (Flashback) Ry
    Even crying because of your betrayal.
[14:01] (Flashback) Ry
    Don't be so sentimental.
[14:05] (Flashback) Ry
    I'm already looking ahead to playing in college.
[14:11] S1
    Ryo-san.
[14:14] (Flashback) Ry
    Fine, then.
[14:17] (Flashback) Ry
    I'll let you use these.
[14:20] (Flashback) Ry
    They're practically brand new,
[14:22] (Flashback) Ry
    so I haven't broken them in yet.
[14:26] Ry
    It's an impossible dream for me now,
[14:30] Ry
    but you still have years ahead of you.
[14:34] Ry
    It's right in front of you.
[14:37] Ry
    Reach for it.
[14:40] Ry
    Go get it.
SIGN    He smacks it!
SIGN    It's going left and center!
[14:51] Is
    Yeah!
SIGN    It's a double!
SIGN    Seido batters are on a roll!
SIGN    With no outs and runners on second and third, Miyuki, the cleanup, is at bat!
[15:03] Sa
    That's my boy, Haruo!
    Just like I told you!
[15:07] Fu
    What did you tell him?
[15:09] Y1
    They got his forkball again.
[15:12] YC
    I guess it's time.
[15:20] S1
    Nice!
[15:21] S1
    We got Mishima out!
[15:23] S2
    Is it Sanada next?
[15:25] S3
    That was quick.
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[15:27] S4
    It's still the third inning.
[15:29] S5
    If we can get Sanada out here, it'd be great.
[15:33] Sa
    What?
SIGN    Top of the third.
SIGN    Yakushi High School has announced a change in positions.
SIGN    Todoroki-kun, playing third baseman, will now play pitcher.
[15:47] Y1
    Yuta.
SIGN    Mishima-kun, playing pitcher, will now play third baseman.
SIGN    Batting third and third baseman, Mishima-kun.
SIGN    Batting fourth and pitcher, Todoroki-kun.
SIGN    Those are the new positions.
[15:58] Mi
    I'll let you have it today.
[16:03] Y1
    He can pitch, too?
[16:07] Mi
    They used him, Nabe.
[16:12] (Flashback) Na
    So it's very likely that
    Raichi Todoroki will start.
[16:18] (Flashback) Na
    He takes a big step and
    pitches from a low point.
[16:29] (Flashback) Na
    A lot of batters popped flies off of him,
[16:31] (Flashback) Na
    so it's likely that the pitch
    doesn't slow down.
[16:34] Mi
    I see.
[16:40] Mi
    I'll see for myself.
SIGN    No outs and runners on second and third in the top of the third!
SIGN    Raichi Todoroki stands on the mound to get Yakushi out of this pinch.
SIGN    Let's see how he'll pitch today.
[16:54] Y1
    Raichi, let's pitch strikes!
[16:56] Mi
    I won't hold it against you!
[16:59] Sa
    First base is open! Let's go all out!
[17:02] R1
    They're putting in a relief pitcher?
[17:04] R1
    It's a little too risky
    to be making a surprise attack.
[17:08] R2
    Yeah.
[17:09] R2
    If this relief works, they can turn the tide.
[17:15] R2
    But otherwise...
[17:34] Is
    Right into his head!
[17:36] Is
    That's not safe!
SIGN    Sorry!
[17:46] Yu
    A hard inside pitch.
[17:48] Ma
    It's tough being a cleanup.
[17:52] Ma
    But I think that one was an accident.
[17:57] Sa
    Don't worry about it.
SIGN    Okay!
[18:01] Y1
    Raichi! Look at the mitt!
[18:03] Sa
    Pitch a strike!
[18:05] Mi
    Let him hit it!
[18:07] Sa
    How can they use such an amateur pitcher!
[18:10] Sa
    What if our captain gets hurt?
[18:14] Fu
    Hurt?
[18:20] Mi
    That was close to my head, so I fell over,
[18:24] Mi
    but I was more surprised
    by the strength of his pitch.
[18:30] Mi
    His lower body is strong enough to support him,
[18:33] Mi
    even with his large stride.
[18:38] Mi
    Moreover,
[18:40] Mi
    I hate pitchers like him
[18:42] Mi
    because I can't read their next pitch.
[18:47] Mi
    See?
[18:48] Mi
    What's with that low and away?
[18:50] Mi
    He's not trying to pitch there.
[18:55] C1
    That looks pretty fast.
[18:57] C2
    Hey, it's 140 km/h.
[19:02] YC
    For their intelligent, good-looking catcher,
[19:05] YC
    I bet Raichi's pitches are hard to read.
[19:10] Mi
    He's a tough opponent,
[19:12] Mi
    but I can't go down against him.
[19:15] Mi
    The team worked hard to create
    this second opportunity.
[19:20] Mi
    If I don't hit here, I'm not a cleanup.
[19:24] Mi
    I know Tetsu-san...
[19:27] Mi
    ...would!
[19:41] Ra
    Shortstop!
[19:45] S1
    He outpowered Miyuki!
[19:48] S2
    He underperformed in two clutch situations.
[19:51] S3
    That's not like him at all.
[19:55] Sa
    I hate to say it, but this is his limit.
[19:57] Mi
    Shirasu. It's fast at the plate.
[20:03] Ca
    It's hard to hit off of pitchers like him.
[20:06] I1
    A cleanup should at least hit to the outfield.
[20:10] Is
    He just got outpowered by the pitch.
[20:15] Is
    Is Kazuya hurt or something?
[20:19] Ca
    You're late, Mei.
[20:21] Na
    Itsuki wanted to make detours.
[20:25] It
    Mei-san!
[20:26] I1
    Thanks for being his gofer.
[20:30] C1
    Hey, look.
[20:32] Ma
    He's finally here.
[20:41] Ma
    His pitch has power.
[20:44] Y1
    Raichi.
[20:45] Y1
    Avoid pitching to the inside.
[20:49] To
    The infield is defending in.
[20:51] To
    If it bounces, I'm going for it.
[20:53] Ma
    I can't pop a fly here.
[20:56] Ma
    I have to smack it down.
[21:01] Y1
    Stupid.
[21:02] Y1
    That's an inside!
[21:15] Is
    Zono missed an inside pitch?
[21:18] Ry
    Well, it was pretty fast.
[21:23] Sa
    The ball's not slipping out today.
[21:26] Sa
    He might give Seido
    a run for their money.
[21:36] Ma
    What the heck?
[21:39] Ma
    Is it getting faster every pitch?
[21:50] Um
    Strike!
[21:51] Um
    Batter out!
SIGN    A swinging strikeout!
[23:30] Mi
    We're not wasting any pitches, Nori.
[23:33] Ka
    I'm not star material.
[23:34] Ka
    I knew that long ago,
    but I couldn't give up.
[23:39] Ra
    A battle of the wills!
[23:41] Ra
    That's what it's about!
[23:42] Ka
    I couldn't sit out and watch.
    I wanted to be in the light.
[23:46] Ka
    I wanted to play!
[23:47] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond Season 2:
    To This Side.
SIGN    To This Side
[23:51] Mi
    Let's win the national title!
