[00:05] Narrator
    Only twenty players were given a
    roster spot and a chance to battle.
[00:17] Narrator
    For the third-years who
    didn't make the roster,
[00:20] Narrator
    it was effectively the end of their careers.
[00:25] Narrator
    Their summer was over before
    the tournament even started.
[00:30] Narrator
    The chosen twenty now renew their vow
[00:38] Narrator
    to fight!

[02:13] Takashima
    Yes, during practice should be fine.
[02:17] Takashima
    Yes.
[02:18] Takashima
    Yes, thank you.
[02:22] Ota
    Was that a press request to cover our team?
[02:25] Takashima
    They said they'd be here a few days,
    and they want to hear from the players.
[02:29] Ota
    It feels great to have
    people interested in us.
[02:32] Takashima
    Yes, and the players will
    get used to media attention.
[02:36] Ota
    We have our roster,
    and training camp starts today.
[02:39] Ota
    The tournament draw is this Saturday, too.
[02:41] Ota
    There's a lot of tension in the air.
[02:44] Takashima
    Yes, indeed.
[02:49] Akane
    I can't get it right!
[02:50] Haruno
    It's okay. They'll eat practically anything.
[02:54] Sachiko
    Yeah, but that one's still too big!
[03:00] Akane
    It's like they're sparkling!
[03:02] Akane
    Your rice balls are so handsome!
[03:07] @Ochiai
    That was a moving speech you gave yesterday.
[03:11] @Ochiai
    I was on the verge of tears.
[03:14] @Ochiai
    The players are certainly pleased
    when the coach thanks them like that.
[03:19] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    Please continue to make me proud.
[03:23] @Ochiai
    The third-years who didn't make the roster
    are all here for practice.
[03:29] @Ochiai
    Seeing that is giving me goosebumps again.
[03:33] @Ochiai
    I'd like to make a speech like that someday.
[03:36] @Kataoka
    There is still much for them to do here,
[03:40] @Kataoka
    from supporting the team to
    advising the junior players.
[03:44] @Kataoka
    They may not sit on the bench,
    but they are still members of the team.
[03:53] @int_Ochiai
    Once again, he's given me chills.
[04:03] Mimura
    Nice try, Yuki!
[04:05] Mimura
    But this is my territory!
[04:07] Mimura
    If you want to get through here,
    it had better be over my head!
[04:11] Seki
    Mine, too!
[04:15] Kawashima
    You can keep hitting to your heart's content!
[04:17] Kawashima
    Here comes another!
[04:24] int_Mimura
    That's the stuff.
[04:26] int_Mimura
    Go on, hit it!
[04:28] int_Mimura
    Hit it more!
[04:33] int_Mimura
    Show us why you deserve to be here!
[04:36] _Player
    Man, they sure can hit!
[04:39] _Player
    Okay! Nice batting, Okumura!
[04:41] _Player
    You're on a roll!
[04:43] @Okumura
    Thank you! This has been a helpful practice!
[04:47] _Player
    Done already? You can hit some more.
[04:50] @int_Seto
    Nice, Koshu. You're doing it.
[04:53] @int_Seto
    Let them know that you're grateful.

    Okay! Nice play, Sawamura!

    You can't always hear
    each other during a game!
[05:15] @Kataoka
    Make sure you know what the
    third-base runner is doing!
[05:18] @Sawamura
    Yes, sir!
[05:20] @int_Okumura
    From basics to detailed plays,
[05:23] @int_Okumura
    and even situations we may
    only see once in ten games,
[05:26] @int_Okumura
    we're tackling everything,
    including base covers.
[05:31] @Miyuki
    It's the top of the ninth,
    and we have a one-run lead!
[05:33] @Miyuki
    Two outs, with runners on first and third!
[05:36] @int_Both
    I don't want to be
    the weak link in the chain!

    Yeah.
[05:56] @Okumura
    Will this count towards dinner?
[05:59] @Miyuki
    Nope!
[06:00] @Kanemaru
    Great, they have ones with natto!
[06:03] Tojo
    I'll take one of those!
[06:04] Higasa
    Me, too!
[06:04] Yamaguchi
    Me, too!
[06:05] Yamaguchi
    Natto rocks!
[06:10] Haruno
    Here's one for you, Sawamura-kun.
[06:13] Haruno
    This will help keep up
    your energy in the summer!
[06:15] @Sawamura
    I know... I read it in a book yesterday...
[06:19] @Miyuki
    Wait, couldn't you not eat natto?
[06:22] @Kominato
    It's the one food he doesn't like.
[06:25] Tojo
    He kept trying to eat it,
    but failed every time.
[06:29] Haruno
    R-Really? Then I'll take it back.
[06:35] @int_Sawamura
    The theme is dominance!
[06:37] @int_Sawamura
    Cultivating a body that lets me pitch
    for nine innings without getting tired!
[06:42] @Sawamura
    I'll eat it.
[06:45] @Sawamura
    It helps my stamina recover
    and boosts my immune system!
[06:48] @Sawamura
    The B vitamins in it will
    help make me stronger!
[06:52] @Sawamura
    It's also loaded with calcium
    and promotes intestinal health!
[06:56] @Sawamura
    There's no reason not to eat it!
[06:58] @Kuramochi
    Enough trivia, just eat it!
[07:00] Kishima
    How long are you going to keep mixing it?
[07:02] @Sawamura
    All of a sudden, I'm surrounded!
[07:04] @Kanemaru
    We have base running after this.
[07:05] @Miyuki
    Don't force yourself.
[07:07] Kawakami
    Today's the day! You can do it!
[07:09] @Sawamura
    Okay, then!
[07:13] Ono
    All at once!
[07:17] @Kuramochi
    Keep your mouth closed, idiot!
[07:19] Ono
    Someone bring some water!
[07:20] @Kanemaru
    Keep it in! I'm warning you!
[07:22] @Kanemaru
    Swallow it!
[07:24] @int_Okumura
    So there are things he doesn't like.
[07:30] @Kanemaru
    I see you're eating well, Yuki!
[07:33] @Kanemaru
    Go on and have some more.
[07:34] @Yuki
    Can I?
[07:35] @Kanemaru
    Don't be shy. Here's a bomb one!
SIGN    Base running
[07:43] @Kanemaru
    Hey!
[07:44] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[07:49] Yamaguchi
    What's wrong? Go, first-years!
[07:51] Yamaguchi
    You're holding up the line!
[07:52] @Yui
    Yes, sir!
[07:53] Shirasu
    Go, go!
[07:54] Seki
    We're just getting started!
[07:56] Mimura
    Keep up the pace!
[07:58] @int_Yui
    There are fewer of us,
    so we have to run more!
[08:01] Seki
    You're slowing down, Yuki!
[08:03] Mimura
    Keep those legs up, Okumura!
[08:13] @int_Yui
    Th-This base running drill is killer.
[08:16] @int_Okumura

[08:45] @int_Yui
    My whole body is cracking.
[08:47] _Student
    Are they okay?
[08:50] _Student
    I don't see him moving.
[08:53] _Student
    Is Okumura dead?
[08:54] _Student
    Maybe he's off fighting
    in an alternate dimension.
[08:57] _Teacher
    Fujiwara no Fuhito moved the capital
    to Heijo-kyo in the year 710.
[09:01] _Teacher
    Some people remember that with
    "what a splendid castle, Heijo-kyo,"
[09:03] _Teacher
    but I prefer "natto-loving Heijo-kyo."
[09:06] _Teacher
    At this time, Fujiwara no
    Fuhito's four sons,
[09:10] _Teacher
    Nanke, Hokke, Shikike and Kyoke
    held power in the capital.
[09:14] _Teacher
    Four of them, so it's not quite
    the three dango brothers.
[09:16] _Teacher
    That one's a little stale.
[09:19] int_Teacher
    Those two are actually
    paying attention in class.
[09:21] int_Teacher
    I must say, I'm impressed.
[09:24] @int_Sawamura
    It wouldn't do...
[09:26] @int_Sawamura
    for a player on the roster
    to fail a test and have to make it up.
[09:30] @int_Sawamura
    It wouldn't do...
[09:35] _Teacher
    I'll reward the baseball
    players for their hard work.
[09:39] _Teacher
    Oh, what's this? This part
    has a particular smell to it!
[09:44] _Teacher
    Especially this! Very interesting.
    This, right here!
[09:46] _Teacher
    Yes, this will be on the test!
[09:48] _Teacher
    Write it down!
[10:02] @Okumura
    Why are you smiling like that?
[10:05] @int_Sawamura
    Even if I overdid it in the first half,
[10:07] @int_Sawamura
    getting tired from just a hundred pitches
[10:09] @int_Sawamura
    means I'm too tense.
[10:12] @int_Sawamura
    Go back to the source.
[10:14] @int_Sawamura
    Stay relaxed in any situation.
[10:17] @Okumura
    What are you doing?
[10:19] @int_Sawamura
    Start relaxed...
[10:22] @int_Sawamura
    and put everything into my fingertips!
[10:31] @Okumura
    Nice pitch!
[10:33] @Okumura
    Everything was perfect, except your face.
[10:35] @Okumura
    Are you trying catch the batter off guard?
[10:38] Ota
    That was...
[10:39] @Miyuki
    It doesn't look like he's throwing very hard,
[10:43] @Miyuki
    but he could break 140 km/h
    in the tournament.
[10:47] Ota
    He's grown so much since the spring.
[10:49] Ota
    Now it makes sense
    why he's been so reliable lately.
[10:53] Ota
    He might like to hear that from you.
[10:57] @Miyuki
    No, he threw that without neglecting his control.
[11:01] @Miyuki
    I don't want him to be
    preoccupied with numbers.
[11:09] @Yui
    Nice pitch!
[11:11] @Furuya
    Next is a slider.
[11:13] ---
    Right!
[11:14] Ota
    And Furuya has gotten back into his
    rhythm over the past four games.
[11:18] @Miyuki
    He's working on his
    communication with Yui, too.
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Fields
[11:43] @Kataoka
    Split up into infield and
    outfield for fielding practice!
[11:45] @Kataoka
    Tojo, go to the outfield
     after pitcher fielding drills!
[11:48] Tojo
    Yes, sir!
[11:48] @Kataoka
    Furuya, Sawamura, and Yui!
[11:51] @Kataoka
    You go the outfield once you're done, too!
[11:53] @Sawamura
    Yes, sir!
[11:54] @Yui
    Yes, sir!
[11:55] @Kataoka
    Wheel plays, charges, and pick-offs!
[11:57] @Kataoka
    Make your plays quickly,
    like it's a real game!
[12:00] @Kataoka
    This will be worthless if you
    can't make decisive plays!
[12:07] Mimura
    Too slow! You took too long to throw!
[12:10] Seki
    High throws from the outfield let the
    third-base coach wave a runner home.
[12:15] Mimura
    Even if you don't have a strong arm,
[12:17] Mimura
    throwing quickly after you catch
    the ball makes it harder for them!
[12:21] int_Ono
    I see. So that's what an outfielder
    base coach looks for.
[12:24] Mimura
    Get the ball to a cutoff man
     quickly and accurately.
[12:27] Mimura
    Now try it!
[12:29] Seki
    Watch Aso closely!
[12:30] Seki
    He's got the fastest throw on the team!
[12:39] Aso
    You're embarrassing me, idiots!
[12:45] @Sawamura
    Like this?
[12:46] Mimura
    Find the best throwing motion for you
    by the end of training camp!
[12:53] Mimura
    Don't just jump!
[12:54] Mimura
    Move forward as you throw.
[12:57] Seki
    You can do that while playing catch, right?
[13:01] Mimura
    Don't let anyone say that Seido's
    left fielder is a weak link!
[13:07] @Miyuki
    Bow!

    Thank you!

    Guys on the gauge,
    we're turning up the speed today!

    I'm on it!
[13:21] @Kuramochi
    I'll bat from the long tee.

    How do they have so much energy?
[13:33] @Yuki
    Can I hit, too?

    Thank you!

[14:22] Yamaguchi
    The Kokonoe game really
    stands out this weekend.
[14:26] Higasa
    Their third and fourth batters
    are from Machi Senior,
[14:30] Higasa
    where a lot of former pros coach.
[14:33] Higasa
    Their defense will be solid, too.
[14:35] Yamaguchi
    So whoever is picked as the starting pitcher
[14:38] Yamaguchi
    is the most likely to get
    the ace number, then?
[14:41] Higasa
    Yeah, I suppose.
[14:43] Higasa
    It depends how the game goes, too.
[14:46] Yamaguchi
    Sawamura's been starting in
    a lot of important games...
[14:50] Yamaguchi
    Furuya's almost back to
    full strength after his injury...
[14:53] Higasa
    I'm a third-year, so I favor Kawakami...
[14:59] Yamaguchi
    Huh? Was someone there?
[15:03] @int_Sawamura
    Hey, why am I hiding?
[15:12] @Furuya
    That was fast. You took your bath already?

    No, I'm going in now.
[15:33] @Furuya
    This year's training camp...

    seems so short.

    I wish I could, too.

    What's wrong? Come in.
[16:53] Asada
    Come on in.
[16:55] Asada
    The senior players got together
    to play games yesterday, too.
[16:58] @Okumura
    Pardon us.

    Okumura, do you play video games?
[17:02] @Okumura
    A little.
[17:03] @Kuramochi
    Okay, we'll do last man standing
    in Smash Brothers!
[17:06] @Kuramochi
    Asada, Seto, grab a controller!
[17:07] Asada
    All right!
[17:08] @Seto
    You mean it?
[17:09] @Miyuki
    We're at training camp, after all.
[17:11] @Miyuki
    It'll do you good to hang out
    with the third-years.
[17:16] @Kuramochi
    We want to get to know the first-years
    who made the roster, too.
[17:21] Shirasu
    What kind of music do you listen to?
[17:23] Kawakami
    What bands do you like?
[17:24] @Sawamura
    See? They're here!
[17:26] @Miyuki
    The loudmouth is back.
[17:29] @Sawamura
    So you're here, Cap!
[17:32] @Sawamura
    I see you've captured the wolf-boy!

    What do you mean, "captured"?

    Grr...

    Let's see how well you play video games!

    It's cramped and you're too loud!
[17:42] Aso
    Sawamura, go outside.
[17:43] @Sawamura
    But this is my room, Aso-senpai!
[17:46] @Kuramochi
    Let me warn you, this guy's a beast.
[17:48] @Kuramochi
    It doesn't matter if you're
    a junior or senior player.
[17:51] @Kominato
    In games, it's kill or be killed.
[17:54] @Okumura
    Taku here is a genius gamer, too.
[17:58] @Kominato
    I'd love to see a genius play.
[18:01] @Seto
    Don't go too hard on me.
[18:04] @Sawamura
    Don't let his cute face fool you, Seto!
[18:06] @Sawamura
    When he's playing video games,
    he's Dark Haruichi!
[18:11] @Kuramochi
    If you beat him, you really are a genius!
[18:12] @Seto
    I'm a little intimidated.
[18:14] @Kominato
    But you're gonna play, right?
[18:15] @bg_Okumura
    Taku is a genius.
[18:16] @Miyuki
    Are you gonna play?
[18:17] @bg_Seto
    Don't provoke him, Koshu!
[18:20] @bg_Kuramochi
    It's the battle of the second
    basemen! Let's see it!
[18:22] @bg_Sawamura
    Okay, then I'll jump in!
[18:23] @bg_Kuramochi
    You're not a second baseman!
[18:24] @bg_Kominato

[18:26] @bg_Okumura
    Yes, you are.

    Um, I'm not that good. Really.

    Tetsu-san, what did you tell your brother?
[18:58] @Yuki
    Please!
[18:59] @Miyuki
    Okay, fine!
[19:00] @Kuramochi
    Furuya, we're out of drinks.
[19:02] @Sawamura
    Go buy some! I'll have 100% orange juice!
[19:05] @Furuya
    Okay.

    You're going, Furuya-san?
[19:08] @Furuya
    Yeah.
[19:09] @Yui
    Then, I'll go instead.
[19:11] @Furuya
    Why?
[19:11] @Yui
    Wait, "why?"
[19:15] @Sawamura
    Young Yui, Furuya's not that kind of guy.

    You've probably heard the

[21:14] @Miyuki
    Understood.
[21:15] @Ochiai
    We have our seed, so I'll go to the draw.
[21:20] @Kataoka
    Thank you.
[21:21] @Kataoka
    I'm well aware that the players
    are tired from the training camp.
[21:25] @Kataoka
    I want to see if they can make sound
    judgments and plays while they are tired.
