One Year Ago
**[00:07] Az**
Yamada!
**[00:09] Az**
You've got this!
**[00:11] Is**
We're just getting started!
**[00:13] Mi**
He's going to throw it low!
**[00:15] Ry**
Eyes on the ball!
**[00:16] Ta**
Please get a hit!
**[00:22] Ya**
Come on!
**[00:23] Ya**
Bring it on!
**[00:25] Na**
*There's no point.*
**[00:26] Na**
*The game's already over.*
**[01:03] Na**
I told you.
**[01:07] Na**
You'd regret going over there.
***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**
* His father is a former pro,*
* and his future looks bright.*
**[14:42] Re**
*I'd love to have him on our team.*

Careful not to get the runner out!
**[15:02] (Flashback) Um**
Strike!
**[15:04] Sh**
*Another one to the inside?*
**[15:06] Sh**
*Will the next one be to the outside?*
**[15:09] (Flashback) R1**
He's leading!
**[15:11] (Flashback) R1**
He's running!
**[15:14] (Flashback) Um**
Strike! Batter out!
**[15:17] (Flashback) Um**
Out!
**[15:26] Ch**
*What an aggressive play.*
**[15:28] Ch**
*He has a good shoulder, too.*
**[15:30] (Flashback) Mi**
Two outs!
***SIGN*** Kazuya Miyuki
**[15:31] (Flashback) Mi**
Let's stay focused!
**[15:33] Ch**
*Kazuya Miyuki, huh?*
**[15:40] Mi**
* I bet the next one will be*
* a fastball to the outside.*
**[15:49] Mi**
*I knew it!*
**[15:50] Mi**
*What?*
**[15:52] Mi**
*A slow curveball?*
**[15:55] (Flashback) Um**
Strike!
**[15:56] (Flashback) Um**
Batter out!
**[16:02] (Flashback) Ch**
Figured you were gunning
for that outside fastball.

Good luck.

*Just you watch.*

* You won't win just*
* 'cause you're bigger.*
**[16:36] (Flashback) C1**
Wow!
**[16:36] (Flashback) C1**
A home run!
**[16:40] Mi**
*He took a low and outside ball that far?*
**[16:44] (Flashback) An**
Nice one, Yu!
**[16:49] Mi**
*Damn it.*
**[16:50] Mi**
*It's not over yet.*
**[17:06] Mi**
*He made me swing.*
**[17:11] (Flashback) C1**
Is that catcher going for the catch?
**[17:14] (Flashback) An**
No!
**[17:27] (Flashback) C1**
He caught it!
**[17:30] (Flashback) C2**
Right at the fence!
**[17:31] (Flashback) C2**
He dove for it with no hesitation!
**[17:33] (Flashback) C3**
He could've gotten hurt!

**[17:39] (Flashback) EE**
Thank you for the game.
**[17:50] Ch**
* He makes aggressive calls and tries*
* to read the catcher when he's at bat.*
**[17:54] Ch**
*What an interesting kid.*
**[18:01] (Flashback) R1**
Marugame Senior League was strong.
**[18:03] (Flashback) R2**
We didn't even stand a chance.
**[18:07] (Flashback) R3**
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.*
**[18:38] (Flashback) Mi**
I completely lost today.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Mi**
I mean, what's with his name?
**[18:42] (Flashback) Mi**
Chris?
**[18:43] (Flashback) Mi**
He's the son of a foreigner?
**[18:45] (Flashback) Mi**
I was born and raised in Old Town Tokyo!
**[18:49] Mi**
*For now, I'm glad I lost today.*
**[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.*
**[19:04] (Flashback) Re**
A catcher-to-catcher battle
of reading each other's minds.
**[19:08] (Flashback) Re**
I never thought
**[19:09] (Flashback) Re**
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.
**[19:22] (Flashback) Re**
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.*
**[19:35] Mi**
*That sounds like fun, too.*
**[19:38] (Flashback) Mi**
Wait! Who are you, Miss?

I'm a soon-to-be associate manager

Baseball Team, Rei Takashima!
**[19:46] (Flashback) Re**
To be direct with you,
**[19:48] (Flashback) Re**
I came here to scout you for our team.
**[19:51] Re**
* Though I originally came*
* to watch Chris-kun.*
**[19:56] (Flashback) Mi**
You're scouting me?
**[19:58] (Flashback) Mi**
I think you're rushing it a bit.
**[20:00] (Flashback) Mi**
I'm only a first-year.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Re**
You're only a first-year?
**[20:07] (Flashback) Re**
No wonder you're so short!
**[20:09] (Flashback) Re**
Look!
**[20:12] (Flashback) Mi**
Are you really a scout?
**[20:18] Mi**
*Four years since I met them...*
**[20:22] Mi**
*Maybe it was destiny*
**[20:24] Mi**
*that I'd end up here.*
**[20:28] Mi**
*And maybe...*
**[20:30] Mi**
*...me playing...*
**[20:32] Mi**
*...with these guys at my side...*
**[20:36] Mi**
*...was destiny, too.*
