SIGN    Seidou Spirit Dorm
[00:01] Sawamura
    Another bowl!
[00:02] Sawamura
    Please!
[00:06] Miyuki
    What do you know...
[00:07] Miyuki
    You're eating now.
[00:10] Miyuki
    You were throwing up on the first day.
[00:14] Miyuki
    You youngsters are
    lucky you grow so fast.
[00:17] Sawamura
    Shut up.
[00:18] Miyuki
    You've gotta chew more.
[00:19] Miyuki
    It's bad to just swallow.
[00:25] Sawamura
    Everyone's so quiet.
[00:27] Sawamura
    Did something happen?
[00:29] Miyuki
    You haven't heard?
[00:31] Miyuki
    The first-years and the
    upperclassmen are having a game.
[00:35] Sawamura
    What?
[00:36] Sawamura
    I haven't heard anything about that!
[00:38] Sawamura
    Can I play?
[00:39] Sawamura
    Can I?
[00:40] Miyuki
    Umm, dude...
[00:41] Miyuki
    I'm an upperclassman.
SIGN    Seidou Spirit Dorm
SIGN    A Clash
[02:14] Miyuki
    Usually, the first-years only
    do basic strength training.
[02:18] Miyuki
    They don't participate
    in the first-string tryouts.
[02:21] Miyuki
    But after our last game,
    we're a little desperate.
[02:25] Furuya
    Excuse me.
[02:26] Furuya
    Can I sit next to you?
[02:30] Sawamura
    It's you!
[02:34] Furuya
    Excuse me.
[02:37] Sawamura
    Why are you sitting there?
[02:39] Sawamura
    Sit on the other side!
[02:41] Furuya
    Miyuki.
[02:43] Furuya
    During tomorrow's scrimmage,
[02:45] Furuya
    I don't plan on letting anyone hit my pitch.
[02:49] Furuya
    If I manage,
[02:50] Furuya
    will you catch...
[02:52] Furyua
    my pitch?
[03:01] Player1
    Hey, rookie.
[03:02] Player1
    You won't let
    anyone hit your pitch?
[03:04] Player1
    Do you have any idea where you are?
[03:07] Player1
    You think you're big even though
    you're still fresh out of junior high.
[03:10] Maezono
    If you want Miyuki to catch your pitch,
    you need to prove your strength.
[03:16] Tanba
    Stop ganging up on him.
[03:18] Maezono
    Tanba.
[03:19] Tanba
    The only way we fight is on the baseball field.
[03:23] Maezono
    Y-Yes, sir.
[03:33] Miyuki
    I see.
[03:34] Miyuki
    So that's what the coach is after.
[03:37] Miyuki
    He's trying to pump up the upperclassmen
[03:39] Miyuki
    by putting them up against the first-years.

[03:49] Sawamura
    God damn it!
[03:51] Sawamura
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[03:52] Sawamura
    Why was I kept out of the loop?
[03:55] Sawamura
    Stupid Shades!
[03:56] Sawamura
    Did he forget about me?
[03:59] Sawamura
    Why does he have to wear shades, anyway?
[04:01] Sawamrua
    Does he plan on scaring
    the opponent's team with his face—
SIGN    Ahhhhhhhhh!
[04:11] Sawamura
    Why is Shades in the bath now?
[04:15] Sawamura
    I'm the last guy to take a bath.
[04:18] Sawamura
    I bet he heard what I said.
[04:21] Sawamura
    Someone please kill me!
[04:24] Sawamura
    E-Excuse me.
[04:34] Sawamura
    My only time of peaceful rest is ruined...
[04:38] Sawamura
    And take off your shades in the bath!
[04:42] Kataoka
    Hey.
[04:43] Kataoka
    How many days have you
    been running with tires?
[04:46] Sawamura
    Th-Three weeks, I guess.
[04:49] Sawamura
    Actually, I'm thinking about running
    with four tires from now on.
[04:53] Sawamura
    Man, I improve scarily fast.
[04:58] Kataoka
    When I was in high school,
    I ran with truck tires.
SIGN    Sawamura's Tire
[05:03] Sawamura
    T-Truck?
SIGN    Shades's Tire
[05:07] Kataoka
    You've never come to cheer for a single game.
[05:11] Kataoka
    Why?
[05:16] Sawamura
    Crap! Is he mad?
[05:18] Sawamura
    What's gonna happen if he hates me more?
[05:21] Kataoka
    Just tell me why.
[05:33] Sawamura
    I-I don't want to see anybody else
    but me standing on the mound.
[05:38] Sawamura
    I betrayed my junior high friends
    to test how far I can go.
[05:43] Sawamura
    So can I sincerely
    cheer on a different pitcher?
[05:52] Sawamura
    I don't think I can.
[05:54] Sawamura
    If I can't, then I figured it was best not to go.
[06:03] (Flashback) Sawamura
    I'm here to become the ace!
[06:07] (Flashback) Sawamura
    And I'm confident that
    I want it more than anyone here!
[06:19] Kataoka
    You naïve little boy.
[06:21] Kataoka
    You certainly have the heart of an ace.
[06:28] Kataoka
    The greed to monopolize the mound.
[06:31] Kataoka
    Maybe that's what
    the current pitchers are missing.
[06:37] Kataoka
    Show up at the field with a glove tomorrow.
[06:41] Kataoka
    I'll give you another chance,
[06:43] Kataoka
    since you were so honest with me.
[06:52] Crowd
    Hey! Over here!
[06:54] Kanemaru
    We always have a crowd on Sundays.
[06:58] Kanemaru
    The alumni, the press...
     So many people come to watch.
[07:02] Hosoyamada
    Crap! I'm getting really nervous.
[07:04] Kanemaru
    I couldn't sleep last night, either.
[07:07] Kanemaru
    Never thought I'd have to face the
    upperclassmen after a month in high school.
[07:12] Kataoka
    All the first-years will be able to play.
[07:16] Kataoka
    Make sure you're all warmed up.
[07:18] Kataoka
    Yes, sir!
[07:21] Sawamura
    All the first-years...
[07:23] Sawamura
    I'll do it!
[07:24] Sawamura
    I'm gonna make it!
[07:26] Sawamura
    There's no way I'm letting this one slip by!
[07:30] Miyuki
    You crying again?
[07:33] Miyuki
    Good for you.
[07:34] Miyuki
    You get to practice with the team now, right?
[07:37] Miyuki
    What strings did you pull?
[07:38] Sawamura
    Shut up!
[07:39] Sawamura
    Shouldn't you be in that dugout?
[07:42] Miyuki
    The first-string players have a break today.
[07:44] Miyuki
    We have the Kanto tournaments coming up.
[07:46] Sawamura
    Damn! How unfortunate.
[07:48] Sawamura
    I was hoping to play against you.
[07:51] Miyuki
    Wait another hundred years.
[07:53] Miyuki
    So when are you pitching?
[07:55] Sawamura
    I don't know, but probably last.
[07:57] Sawamura
    Knowing Shades...
[08:00] Miyuki
    Then I'll help you warm up,
    as a special service.
[08:07] Kataoka
    Strike!
[08:11] Miyauchi
    What's wrong, rookie?
[08:12] Miyauchi
    You can't swing a bat
    if you're on your butt.
[08:15] Hosoyamada
    What in the world was that?
[08:18] Hosoyamada
    The ball just stopped in front of me,
[08:20] Hosoyamada
    then went straight
    into the catcher's mitt.
[08:24] Hosoyamada
    I've never seen a curve like that.
[08:30] Alumnus1
    Tanba's looking fierce today.
[08:32] Alumnus2
    Maybe revoking his ace title fired him up.
[08:36] Alumnus2
    Once that huge vertical curve
    starts going to the right places,
[08:40] Alumnus2
    he'll be back to 100% in no time.
[08:46] Takaoka
    Strike! Batter out!
[08:49] Tanba
    Yeah!
[08:50] Alumnus1
    Whoa! He's usually really quiet!
[08:52] Alumnus2
    Three for three right off the bat.
SIGN    1st Year
SIGN    2nd-3rd Year
[09:04] Ota
    I'm still against having this scrimmage.
[09:07] Ota
    At this rate,
[09:08] Ota
    the first-years will have their pride
    from junior high torn to shreds.
[09:14] Rei
    We're well aware this game will be one-sided.
[09:17] Rei
    But if they can't give their all
    in a completely disadvantageous game,
[09:21] Rei
    they won't be useful to us.
[09:26] Ota
    She's like a demon when it comes to baseball.
[09:33] Makihara
    Oh? What?
[09:34] Makihara
    Furuya isn't pitching?
[09:37] Yamazaki
    We'll draw him out in no time.
[09:52] Kanemaru
    What the hell?
[09:54] Kanemaru
    I thought this was just a scrimmage.
[09:57] Kanemaru
    They're all dead serious!
[10:01] Alumnus1
    The first-years won't stand a chance.
[10:04] Alumnus2
    Seriously.
[10:05] Alumnus2
    The upperclassmen can be so immature.
[10:08] Miyuki
    Do you think they're immature?
[10:12] Miyuki
    True.
[10:13] Miyuki
    To a fresh first-year, the pitch
    of a third-year is completely new,
[10:18] Miyuki
    and the speed of a batted
    ball is on a different level.
[10:23] Miyuki
    But to the third-years,
    this is a huge chance.
[10:27] Miyuki
    No matter what happens,
    the next game is the last.
[10:30] Miyuki
    If they don't make the first-string,
    it's over for them.
[10:39] Umpire3
    Safe!
[10:49] Miyuki
    You're gonna have it tough.
[10:51] Miyuki
    You'll need to be strong-minded
    enough to shut them up by force,
[10:55] Miyuki
    or you'll never become the ace...
[10:58] Miyuki
    Whoa, there!
[11:02] Sawamura
    I'm even more sure now.
[11:04] Sawamura
    I can't watch baseball.
[11:06] Sawamura
    I have to be playing.
[11:11] Sawamura
    I'm so glad I came to this school.
[11:13] Sawamura
    There are so many amazing
    people I can duel with!
[11:21] Sawamura
    I can't wait to go out on the mound.
[11:30] Miyuki
    Well said.
SIGN    1st Year
SIGN    2nd-3rd Year
[11:42] Kanemaru
    We're finally switching.
[11:45] Player1
    The pitcher who made it to the
    semi-finals in the junior high nationals
[11:48] Player1
    is nothing to them.
[11:52] Sawamura
    What's wrong, guys?
[11:53] Sawamura
    What's with the gloomy faces?
[11:56] Sawamura
    We only just finished the third inning!
[11:59] Sawamura
    We still have six innings to reverse the score!
[12:02] Sawamura
    Let's not lose spirit!
[12:03] Player1
    Reverse the score?
[12:05] Player2
    We're worried about how
    many more runs we'll give up.
[12:08] Kanemaru
    You won't know unless you actually play.
[12:13] Kanemaru
    The speed of the batted balls,
    their runs, their slides...
[12:17] Kanemaru
    I've never felt so much
    pressure being on defense.
[12:21] Kanemaru
    Damn it!
[12:30] Sawamura
    If you're overwhelmed by the
    opponent before you even play,
[12:33] Sawamura
    you can't play like you usually do.
[12:36] Sawamura
    I want to test my strength against them!
[12:40] Sawamura
    That's why I came to this school
    in the first place!
[12:47] Kanemaru
    Shut up.
[12:49] Kanemaru
    You're not even officially in the club.
[12:52] Kataoka
    Strike! Batter out!
[12:56] Player1
    Oh! We're switching already?
[12:59] Miyuki
    That's it. Keep suffering.
[13:01] Miyuki
    If you can't pick yourselves up from here,
    you won't make it to the top.
[13:05] Takaoka
    All right, first-years.
[13:06] Takaoka
    We're switching out the
    outfielders and the pitcher.
[13:17] Takaoka
    Very well. You can go
    out to the field, too.
[13:29] Sawamura
    It's here!
[13:32] Sawamura
    My time has finally come!
[13:35] Sawamura
    Sir Master Coach!
[13:36] Sawamura
    Thank you for your wise decision!
[13:38] Sawamura
    I will definitely meet your expectations!
[13:44] Alumnus1
    There's a first-year with energy.
[13:46] Alumnus2
    Is he actually going to be good?
[13:48] Sawamura
    The mound I've dreamed of for so long!
[13:51] Sawamura
    This is it!
[13:53] Sawamura
    I'm gonna make it!
[13:55] Kataoka
    Where are you going?
[13:56] Kataoka
    You're going to right field.
[14:05] Catcher
    Nice throw!
[14:08] Yamazaki
    Damn.
[14:12] Yamazaki
    He's not up yet?
[14:19] Sawamura
    Why am I an outfielder?
[14:21] Sawamura
    I mean, he never said
    I could play pitcher, but...
[14:25] Sawamura
    I was a fool for even
    thinking he had a heart.
[14:29] Player1
    Hey, right field! Ball!
[14:33] Player1
    You idiot! Go back!
[14:35] Player1
    The hardballs go far,
    unlike the rubber ones!
[14:39] Alumnus1
    Wow! Over the head!
[14:41] Alumnus2
    I've never seen anyone
    fail so hard at Seidou.
[14:44] Player1
    Pick up the ball! Hurry to third!
[14:47] Sawamura
    Damn it.
[14:48] Sawamura
    Look, I've never ever played outfield!
[14:53] Alumnus1
    Whoa! That's fast!
[14:54] Sawamura
    Go!
[15:05] Umpire3
    Safe!
[15:07] Alumnus1
    Didn't that... curve?
[15:09] Alumnus2
    Yeah. Into the runner.
[15:12] Alumnus1
    Did he aim for the runner?
[15:14] Alumnus2
    Crazy!
[15:16] Alumnus2
    That first-year is a cold-blooded fiend!
[15:20] Sawamura
    No way!
[15:22] Miyuki
    My stomach hurts.
[15:24] Kanemaru
    A-Are you okay?
[15:26] Makihara
    If you've got time to worry about me,
[15:28] Makihara
    you should be worried about your team.
[15:31] Makihara
    That was a fly to the right field...
[15:32] Makihara
    that turned into a triple.
[15:35] Makihara
    We're gonna win this
    game by a hundred runs!
[15:39] Makihara
    We've been training frantically
    for the past two years.
[15:44] Makihara
    We're not gonna let the first-year babies...
[15:47] Makihara
    make the first-string ahead of us!
[15:57] Player1
    How long is their
     offense going to last?
[16:00] Player2
    Please just give me a break.
[16:03] Sawamura
    W-Wow...
[16:05] Sawamura
    So this is high school baseball.
[16:15] Kataoka
    Pitcher change.
[16:16] Kataoka
    Satoru Furuya.
[16:17] Kataoka
    Come up to the mound.
[16:32] Alumnus1
    Who's that?
[16:33] Alumnus1
    I've never seen him before.
[16:35] Alumnus2
    Which junior high is he from?
[16:40] Miyauchi
    Finally, he's up.
[16:42] Yamazaki
    We'll destroy you, super rookie.
[16:45] Sawamura
    How's he...
[16:46] Sawamura
    going to pitch...
[16:49] Sawamura
    against these fearsome batters?
[16:58] (Flashback) Furuya
    At tomorrow's scrim,
[17:00] (Flashback) Furuya
    I don't plan on letting anyone hit my pitch.
[17:04] (Flashback) Furuya
    If I manage,
[17:05] (Flashback) Furuya
    will you catch...
[17:07] (Flashback) Furyua
    my pitch?
[17:12] Kataoka
    Play!
[17:18] Tanaka
    That's a windup!
[17:49] Hosoyamada
    What... in the world was that?
[17:52] Hosoyamada
    I thought it was low when
    he threw the ball...
[17:56] Hosoyamada
    but the ball rose...
[18:00] Yamazaki
    C-Coach!
[18:01] Yamazaki
    Are you okay?
[18:07] Kataoka
    You pass, Furuya.
[18:09] Kataoka
    You can practice with the
    first-string starting tomorrow.
[18:13] Sawamura
    The first-string?
[18:15] Haruichi
    Lucky him...
[18:17] Haruichi
    He passed.
[18:18] Kataoka
    Pitcher change!
[18:21] Yamazaki
    Please let him continue, Coach!
[18:22] Yamazaki
    I'll can hit his pitch!
[18:24] Miyauchi
    Coach!
[18:25] Makihara
    Coach!
[18:26] Kataoka
    There's no first-year who can catch his pitch.
[18:32] Furuya
    Now I can have Miyuki catch my pitch.
[18:36] Miyuki
    Won't let anyone hit, huh?
[18:39] Miyuki
    I guess it was technically true.
[18:43] Takaoka
    Tanba, you're done, too.
[18:47] Takaoka
    If you can pitch without being overwhelmed,
[18:49] Takaoka
    you can do well at the nationals.
[18:52] Takaoka
    Be more confident.
[18:58] Tanba
    Sir!
[19:03] Alumnus1
    The upperclassmen aren't
    doing so hot anymore.
[19:06] Alumnus2
    So that kid changed the
    momentum with just one pitch.
[19:10] Takaoka
    I got the results I wanted.
[19:12] Takaoka
    No point in continuing the game.
[19:14] Sawamura
    We still have four innings left!
[19:19] Sawamura
    We're not going down without a fight!
[19:24] Sawamura
    I'll lead the way!
[19:26] Sawamura
    Let's start by taking a run back!
[19:29] Haruno
    Sawamura-kun...
[19:31] Player1
    Is he crazy?
[19:33] Player2
    It's not like playing well now
    will get us into the first-string.
[19:37] Sawamura
    All right!
[19:41] Takaoka
    I guess I'll see what happens
    for one more inning.
[19:45] ---
    Let's have a good game!
[19:56] Kawakami
    He hasn't changed.
[19:59] Kawakami
    He's glaring, without a hint of respect.
[20:16] Takaoka
    Strike two!
[20:18] Kanemaru
    Well, look at that!
[20:19] Kanemaru
    Yeah, right. He'll lead the way!
[20:21] Hosoyamada
    He's all talk!
[20:22] Sawamura
    Damn! I was so close!
[20:24] Miyauchi
    He stepped toward the ball...
[20:27] Miyauchi
    Is he not afraid of an inside pitch
    at his first high school at-bat?
[20:35] Kawakami
    He is the guy who picked
    a fight with Azuma.
[20:38] Kawakami
    Those who can't be serious in practice
    don't deserve to play in a real game.
[20:42] Kawakami
    That's what Azuma taught me.
[20:45] Kawakami
    I'll teach you, too.
[20:47] Kawakami
    I'll strike you out with my best pitch!
[20:50] Sawamura
    I'm gonna hit it!
[20:57] Sawamura
    Damn it!
[20:58] Sawamura
    Didn't even graze it.
[21:00] Haruichi
    Don't give up!
[21:01] Haruichi
    The catcher dropped the ball!
[21:08] Miyauchi
    No point in running!
[21:10] Miyauchi
    Even if you get on base like this,
    the coach won't give you a better score.
[21:13] Sawamura
    So long as the play hasn't
    stopped, I won't give up.
[21:16] Sawamura
    I don't care about the ace stuff
    or the first-string stuff right now!
[21:22] Sawamura
    I just don't want to let it end
    without doing a single thing!
[21:31] Haruichi
    Run through!
[21:37] Umpire1
    Safe!
[21:40] Alumnus1
    Wow! That's the first guy to be on base!
[21:45] Miyuki
    Though it's just an uncaught third strike.
[22:02] Haruichi
    Nice run.
[23:35] Miyuki
    Sawamura managed to be
    the first man on base on his team.
[23:38] Miyuki
    A first-year
[23:40] Miyuki
    calls himself into the game as a pinch
    hitter and swears to bring Sawamura home.
[23:43] Miyuki
    Who is he?
[23:44] Sawamura
