SIGN    That Summer
[02:44] Ch
    We'll need to have
    a meeting when we get back.
[02:46] Is
    I'm gonna explode
    if I can't practice soon.
[02:51] M1
    Do we have everything?
[02:56] M2
    Whose bags are those?
[02:58] M3
    Uh...
[02:59] M3
    Where are the three first-years?
[03:01] M4
    Miyuki-kun took them to the restroom.
[03:04] M3
    He took them?
SIGN    Very Good Job!
[03:09] M3
    As a chaperone?
[03:11] Mi
    Hurry up!
[03:13] Sa
    You didn't have to follow us!
[03:15] Mi
    You guys always get lost.
[03:18] Sa
    Shut up!
[03:19] Sa
    You always have something
    unnecessary to say!
[03:21] Ha
    Eijun-kun, manners!
[03:23] Fu
    I'm going.
[03:24] Sa
    Hey! No cutting!
[03:26] C1
    Narumiya was amazing!
[03:28] C2
    Inashiro's batters are great, too.
[03:30] C1
    They're going to take it again this year.
[03:42] Mi
    Well, that's true.
[03:45] Mi
    Our pitchers need to be able
    to hold down their powerful batters.
[03:50] Mi
    Not to mention...
[03:52] Mi
    We have to score off Mei, or we can't win.
[03:57] Mi
    Either way, it's going to be a tough game.
[04:03] I1
    Hey, it's Miyuki!
[04:09] I2
    What? You guys are still here?
[04:12] I3
    Looking down at us from the bleachers?
[04:16] I4
    Were you able to take valuable data?
[04:18] Mi
    Data?
[04:20] Mi
    I was speechless
    after that perfect pitching.
[04:23] Na
    Wow! Kazuya just complimented me.
[04:27] Mi
    Hurry it up, guys.
[04:29] Mi
    I don't really want to talk
    to people I'm playing in two days.
[04:33] I1
    Oh, hey.
[04:34] I1
    Remember the last time
    all of us got together?
[04:37] Na
    Oh, yeah.
[04:43] (Flashback) Mi
    Well, well...
[04:45] (Flashback) Mi
    What's with the gathering of the all-stars?
[04:48] (Flashback) Mi
    Carlos from Jonan Senior League.
[04:51] (Flashback) Mi
    Shirakawa from Marugame Senior League.
[04:53] (Flashback) Mi
    Yamaoka and Yabe from
    Takahira Senior League.
[04:57] (Flashback) Mi
    Did you call them all here,
[05:00] (Flashback) Mi
    Mei?
[05:02] (Flashback) Na
    Yeah.
[05:03] (Flashback) Na
    And you, Kazuya.
[05:05] (Flashback) Na
    If you come with me,
    I can form my ultimate team.
[05:11] (Flashback) Sh
    I don't really care
    if you're not the catcher.
[05:14] (Flashback) Sh
    But Narumiya wants you.
[05:16] (Flashback) Na
    Inashiro invited you, too. Right, Kazuya?
[05:20] (Flashback) Na
    So why don't we make
    the ultimate team together?
[05:22] (Flashback) Na
    If we all get on the same team,
    we could take nationals.
[05:27] (Flashback) Ca
    Inashiro's coach has a lot has
    a lot of experience under his belt,
[05:30] (Flashback) Ca
    and they have the best equipment in Tokyo.
[05:34] (Flashback) Ca
    It's a great environment, too.
[05:37] (Flashback) Sh
    Not to mention, you won't have
    to play against Narumiya.
[05:41] (Flashback) Sh
    You're in, too. Right, Kazuya Miyuki?
[05:49] (Flashback) Mi
    I'm sorry,
[05:51] (Flashback) Mi
    but I already got an invite
    from Seido a while ago.
[05:54] (Flashback) Mi
    I can't join you guys.
[05:56] (Flashback) Ya
    What?
[05:57] (Flashback) Ya
    Are you being serious right now?
[06:01] (Flashback) Na
    Seido, huh?
[06:03] (Flashback) Na
    They've only gone to nationals
    once since their old coach quit.
[06:08] (Flashback) Na
    Compared to what Coach
    Kunitomo has achieved,
[06:11] (Flashback) Na
    Coach Kataoka is just way too green.
[06:15] (Flashback) Mi
    Well, it's not really about that.
[06:18] (Flashback) Mi
    Inashiro's a team with a bunch
    of all-stars like you guys, right?
[06:24] (Flashback) Mi
    So... I want to face
    you as an opponent.
[06:31] Na
    This is Kazuya.
[06:33] Na
    Despite being on the underdog team,
[06:34] (Flashback) Ya
    Are you stupid?
[06:35] Na
    he's always thinking of ways
    to take down his opponent.
[06:36] (Flashback) Mi
    Oh, you're too kind.
[06:38] (Flashback) Ya
    It's not a compliment!
[06:39] Na
    That's what I like about him.
[06:43] (Flashback) Na
    Kazuya.
[06:46] (Flashback) Na
    I'm gonna ask you one last time.
[06:48] (Flashback) Mi
    Sorry. No.
[06:54] Na
    Damn, you're cool.
[06:56] Na
    But you're gonna regret going there.
[07:03] Na
    In the end, you were the only
    one who didn't join me.
[07:08] Na
    But...
[07:09] Na
    Even without you, we have
    the ultimate team this year.
[07:13] Na
    We're going to nationals.
[07:23] Sh
    Just live with regret for not joining us.
[07:26] Sh
    Ten years, or even
    twenty years, down the line.
[07:31] Na
    Well, see you at the game.
[07:33] Mi
    Yeah.
[07:34] Sa
    I feel so much better.
[07:36] Sa
    It's that white-haired guy!
[07:38] Sa
    What were you talking about with them?
[07:41] Mi
    Nothing.
[07:42] Sa
    Nothing?
[07:44] Sa
    We're playing them in two days!
[07:48] Ha
    Furuya-kun, we're not playing them yet.
[07:52] Mi
    Hey, let's go back to the bus.
[07:55] Mi
    Everyone's waiting.
SIGN    Meiji Jingu Stadium
[07:58] Sa
    D-Don't say you told them all about me!
[08:01] Mi
    Why would I?
[08:06] Sa
    What were you talking about
    with that white-haired guy?
[08:09] Mi
    You're so persistent.
[08:11] Ch
    You saw Narumiya?
[08:13] Sa
    He can't be trusted!
[08:15] Sa
    He might've told Inashiro
    all about our team.
[08:18] Mi
    I'm not you.
[08:20] Ch
    I heard you were also
    invited to go to Inashiro.
[08:27] Sa
    I knew it! You're a spy!
[08:29] Ku
    Sawamura, shut up!
[08:31] Sa
    But it's an emergency!
[08:33] Ku
    Just shut up!
[08:35] Mi
    Yeah, but...
[08:37] Mi
    Chris-senpai.
[08:39] Mi
    Rei-chan.
[08:42] Mi
    If I hadn't met you two,
    I might've gone there, too.
[08:53] Mi
    On that day, if I hadn't said I'd play catcher,
[08:57] Mi
    or if I hadn't meet these two...
[08:59] Mi
    In hindsight,
[09:01] Mi
    maybe it was just destiny.
[09:07] (Flashback) RC
    Anyone in here want to play catcher?
[09:10] (Flashback) R1
    Catcher?
[09:12] (Flashback) R2
    I want to be pitcher!
[09:13] (Flashback) R3
    Why don't you do it?
[09:15] (Flashback) R3
    You look like a catcher.
[09:17] (Flashback) R4
    No way!
[09:18] (Flashback) R4
    It looks boring.
[09:19] (Flashback) R4
    And people can't see your face.
[09:22] (Flashback) RC
    I guess you kiddies
    can't quite understand yet.
[09:25] (Flashback) RC
    Get this.
[09:26] (Flashback) RC
    The catcher is a critical position
    who acts as the leader on the field
[09:30] (Flashback) RC
    and is a key player in fielding.
[09:33] (Flashback) Mi
    Me!
[09:33] (Flashback) Mi
    I want to do it!
[09:38] (Flashback) Mi
    I'll be catcher!
[09:40] Mi
    A catcher's mitt was
    unlike any other gloves,
[09:44] Mi
    and it's the only position
[09:46] Mi
    that squats down on the field,
    looking at everyone.
[09:48] Mi
    I was incredibly enticed by that.
[09:53] Mi
    That was how I became a catcher.
[10:06] (Flashback) Um
    Out!
[10:07] (Flashback) R1
    Wow! Awesome!
[10:08] (Flashback) R2
    It's his first year in junior high, right?
[10:10] (Flashback) R2
    His shoulder is crazy good.
[10:14] (Flashback) Mi
    Two outs!
[10:16] (Flashback) RO
    Wow! He's really good.
[10:20] (Flashback) RO
    With his shoulder,
    maybe he could even play pitcher.
[10:24] (Flashback) RC
    But he's only interested in playing catcher.
[10:27] (Flashback) RO
    I see.
[10:29] (Flashback) RO
    What a strange kid.
[10:34] (Flashback) R1
    What?
[10:35] (Flashback) R1
    What did you just say?
[10:37] (Flashback) R2
    Say that again!
[10:38] (Flashback) Mi
    Okay.
[10:39] (Flashback) Mi
    The base covering for
    second base is too late.
[10:42] (Flashback) Mi
    The pitcher can't throw
    any pick-offs like that.
[10:44] (Flashback) R3
    Hey, Kazuya.
[10:49] (Flashback) R1
    Who made you the coach, first-year?
[10:53] (Flashback) Mi
    On the field, everyone is equal.
[10:57] (Flashback) Mi
    Grade doesn't matter.
[11:03] (Flashback) Mi
    Just kidding!
[11:04] (Flashback) R3
    Stop it, Kazuya!
[11:05] (Flashback) R1
    You little...
[11:07] (Flashback) R1
    You want to fight? Is that it?
[11:09] (Flashback) R2
    Just because you made first-string,
    don't get too cocky!
[11:13] (Flashback) Mi
    Oh, you're too kind.
[11:15] (Flashback) RR
    It wasn't a compliment!
[11:20] (Flashback) R2
    You don't seem to know your manners.
[11:22] (Flashback) R1
    Let us help you understand.
[11:31] (Flashback) R4
    Are you serious?
[11:33] (Flashback) R4
    Why didn't you call us over?
[11:35] (Flashback) R5
    Maybe I'll teach him a lesson today.
[11:38] (Flashback) R1
    I doubt he's here today.
[11:47] (Flashback) Mi
    'Sup!
[11:48] (Flashback) Mi
    You guys are all late.
[11:50] (Flashback) R4
    I-Is he for real?
[11:52] (Flashback) R2
    That little...
[11:56] Mi
    I don't care if I'm a first-year or whatever.
[11:59] Mi
    I made first-string because of my ability.
[12:03] Mi
    Making calls for the pitcher,
[12:06] Mi
    making pick-off plays with the fielders,
[12:09] Mi
    and being a coach-like
    presence on the field.
[12:13] (Flashback) Mi
    Second baseman, you're too slow!
[12:16] (Flashback) R1
    Shut up!
[12:19] Mi
    Like I'd give up such
    a fun position to anyone.
SIGN    Miyuki Steel
[12:25] (Flashback) Mi
    We're playing against Marugame
    Senior League tomorrow, right?
[12:28] (Flashback) R1
    They make regionals almost every year.
[12:31] (Flashback) R1
    I wonder if we'll even stand a chance.
[12:33] (Flashback) RO
    Hey, don't feel like you've lost
    before you've even played.
[12:36] (Flashback) Mi
    I'm super excited.
[12:39] (Flashback) Mi
    It's really fun thinking about
    ways to beat strong teams.
[12:44] (Flashback) Mi
    I guess I can count on you, then.
[12:46] (Flashback) R1
    'Cause he's super serious about baseball.
[12:48] (Flashback) RO
    Don't just admire him.
[12:50] (Flashback) RO
    You should try to be like him.
[12:53] (Flashback) R1
    I can't do that.
[12:55] (Flashback) RO
    You never know until you try!
[12:57] (Flashback) RO
    Let's do some bat swings
    once we get home!
[12:58] (Flashback) R1
    Oh, no.
[12:59] (Flashback) RO
    Not "Oh, no." "Yeah!"
[13:00] (Flashback) R1
    Yeah!
[13:09] (Flashback) Mi
    I'm home.
[13:11] (Flashback) R1
    Toku-san, the deadline's tomorrow.
[13:14] (Flashback) R1
    Can we make it?
[13:15] (Flashback) To
    We don't have a choice.
[13:37] (Flashback) T1
    Now, let's look at the answers.
[13:39] (Flashback) T1
    Animal-san!
[13:40] (Flashback) T2
    Okay.
[13:42] (Flashback) T2
    It's Fried Chicken Ambassador!
[13:45] Mi
    They have the son
    of an ex-pro ball player, right?
[13:49] (Flashback) Mi
    I wonder how I'll beat him.
[13:56] (Flashback) Mi
    Wow! This is good!
[13:58] (Flashback) Mi
    I'm a genius!
[14:07] (Flashback) R1
    That's Animal, right?
[14:08] (Flashback) R2
    Yeah.
[14:09] (Flashback) R2
    I've seen him on TV.
[14:14] Mi
    That's the cleanup and catcher...
[14:18] (Flashback) Ch
    Nice pitch!
[14:20] Mi
    Chris Yu Takigawa.
[14:24] (Flashback) C1
    Oh, so that's Animal-san's son?
[14:27] (Flashback) C2
    He's tall like his father.
[14:36] Re

    and his future looks bright.

    a fastball to the outside.

    What?

    A slow curveball?

    Is that catcher going for the catch?

    Yeah, their catcher
    completely outplayed us.
[18:10] (Flashback) R4
    Yeah, he's a monster.
[18:17] Mi
    He crushed the pitcher with his bat.
[18:21] Mi
    His plays made the best of the pitcher.
[18:24] Mi
    He has a sharp sense for reading
    the momentum of the game.
[18:27] Mi
    There's a ton of great players in this world.

    He's the son of a foreigner?

[18:52] Mi
    Because it means I can be even better.
[18:55] Mi
    Even stronger.
[18:57] Mi
    I don't really care, so long as baseball's fun.

    A catcher-to-catcher battle

    I never thought

    I'd get to see such a high-level game
    at the senior league level.
[19:13] (Flashback) Re
    What decided the game today
[19:16] (Flashback) Re
    was the difference in your teammates.

    You have high ideals
    and a drive to improve.
[19:25] (Flashback) Re
    Have you ever wanted to be
    surrounded by teammates like that?
[19:29] (Flashback) Re
    You should play baseball
    at a much higher level.
[19:34] Mi
    I see.

    That sounds like fun, too.
