[00:04] @int_Sawamura
There was no room for me in that game.
[00:12] @int_Sawamura
Reflecting, preparing...
[00:14] @int_Sawamura
If you don't perform when you need to,
[00:19] @int_Sawamura
you won't get any chances.
[00:23] @int_Sawamura
All you can do is watch from here.
[00:29] @int_Sawamura
I won't forget how much this hurt...
[00:33] @int_Sawamura
Because I want to stand
on that mound again!

Haruno, is this newspaper from Osaka?
[03:21] Haruno
Yes, Sachi-senpai!
[03:23] Haruno
I bought all the newspapers available

Furuya-kun!
[03:42] Sachiko
Hongo-kun!
[03:43] ---
Huh?
[03:44] Yui
From the other team?
[03:45] Sachiko
I mean, he was really good.
[03:48] Yui
Sure, but...
[03:49] Sachiko
He's one of the best
pitchers in the country.
[03:52] Yui
Furuya-kun did just as well.

And Yakushi has a game at
Koshien Stadium tomorrow.
[04:24] Sachiko
That'll be right after they get back!
[04:26] Yui
Doesn't this mean one of them
won't get a seed for the summer?
[04:29] Sachiko
The non-seeds are scarier
if they get into a rhythm!
[04:32] Sachiko
They've just come home, but they've
already dressed and gotten out there.
[04:36] Sachiko
They don't want to rest at all.
[04:37] Yui
They didn't have much time
to practice in Osaka.
[04:40] Sachiko
I heard Yamaguchi-kun and Ono-kun
have gained weight, too.
[04:43] Yui
We need to get ready, too.
[04:46] Sachiko
Yeah.
[04:48] Sachiko
It's our last summer.
[04:57] @Maezono
You sure, Kominato? I'll go on ahead.
[05:00] @Kominato
Oh, yeah.
[05:01] @Kominato
I have something to take care of.
[05:04] @Maezono
Okay, then. See you later.
[05:09] @int_Maezono
He didn't get many good
plays at Koshien Stadium.
[05:13] @int_Maezono
He probably needs to get over that.
[05:19] (Flashback) @fb_Kominato
Mom and Dad said they'd come
to Koshien Stadium to watch.
[05:25] (Flashback) @fb_Kominato
You're walking a different
path than mine.
[05:28] (Flashback) @fb_Kominato
You don't need to follow me any more.
[05:31] (Flashback) @fb_Kominato
Just stick to your own path, Haruichi.
[05:42] Ota
Another interview request?
[05:44] Ota
That's the fourth one since we came back.
[05:47] Rei
We've been invited to
several friendlies, too.
[05:50] Rei
We'll have to adjust the schedule.
[05:53] Ochiai
You're going to play in those games?
[05:55] Rei
Yes, as many as we can.
[05:58] Rei
Facing strong opponents will be
stimulating for the boys, too.
[06:02] Ochiai
Well, given Furuya's
pitching at Koshien Stadium,
[06:06] Ochiai
I guess teams can't leave him alone.
[06:09] Ochiai
I imagine Kataoka-san will get more invites
from the alumni and the boosters, too.
[06:14] Rei
We do rely on their funding
to run the team.
[06:17] Rei
I imagine he'll be
quite busy for a while.
[06:20] Vice
You made it to the quarterfinals!
[06:22] Principal
It was a very close game!
[06:25] Principal
This summer, you'll make the semifinals!
[06:26] Vice
No, even further!
[06:30] Ochiai
We have the spring tournament coming up.
[06:32] Ochiai
I'll watch the team for him.
[06:37] Rei
That will be a great help.
[06:38] Ochiai
Not at all. Coaches need to be
able to handle all kinds of jobs.
[06:43] Ota
Koshien Stadium is a really special place.
[06:47] Ota
I feel like the boys look different
since they came back.
SIGN Egosearching
[07:06] Sachiko
Wh-Why are you trembling, Haruno?
[07:09] Yui
Are you crying?
[07:10] Haruno
But Sachi-senpai said
it's your last summer...
[07:15] Sachiko
Oh, you...
[07:16] Sachiko
We still have four months, right?
[07:18] ---
That's right.
[07:19] Haruno
Just four months!
[07:20] Sachiko
Four whole months!
[07:24] @Sawamura
Don't you have an interview or something?
[07:27] @Sawamura
How come you're out here, running?
[07:29] @Furuya
I'm tired of interviews.
[07:31] @Furuya
They keep asking the same questions.
[07:33] @Sawamura
Don't try to get everything your way!
[07:35] @Furuya
I'm not.
[07:36] @Sawamura
Let me go instead!
[07:38] @Kawakami
Furuya, you're done with
practice for today!
[07:41] @Furuya
But I just started.
[07:42] @Kawakami
You're done! No more, period!
[07:46] @Kawakami
You pitched in consecutive games,
[07:47] @Kawakami
so you need to prioritize recovering
from the Koshien games.
[07:50] @Sawamura
That's right!
[07:51] @Sawamura
Go find a quiet corner to practice
your interview skills!
[07:52] @Ono
Nori...
[07:55] Rei
Those who shone at Koshien Stadium
and those who didn't
[07:59] Rei
all want to go back.
[08:02] Rei
I think they feel it strongly.
[08:06] Ochiai
Well, I imagine they'll get greedy now.
[08:09] @Kawakami
Let's go!
[08:10] Rei
This is the third-years'
last summer on the team.
[08:13] Rei
What changes will the
new first-years bring?
[08:19] Ota
With our performance last year and
the showing at the Spring Invitational,
[08:22] Ota
we'll attract some strong talent!
[08:25] Ochiai
I looked at the list,
and it's quite impressive.
[08:29] Ochiai
Our starters will need to stay on their toes.
[08:33] Rei
We're going to be targeted
by a lot of other teams in the summer.
[08:37] Rei
It will be even harder to get
to Koshien Stadium this time.
[08:42] Rei
One advantage we do have...
[08:44] Rei
is experience.
[08:47] Rei
Having competed at Koshien Stadium,
[08:49] Rei
every player has a clearer idea
of what they want to accomplish.
[08:54] Rei
They know what worked for them, what didn't,
[08:59] Rei
and what they need to do to get stronger.
[09:05] Rei
That's the road to winning
the national title.
SIGN Tremble
[09:14] Ochiai
But darkness follows the light.
[09:17] Ochiai
To truly soar, we'll need
to strengthen our base.
[09:24] Rei
Yes, sir. This is where the going gets tough.
[09:27] Rei
Please lead us.
[09:31] Sachiko
See you tomorrow.
[09:32] Haruno
Right!
[09:38] Haruno
Was that Kominato-kun?
[09:43] @Maezono
Hey, Kominato.
[09:44] @Maezono
So you decided to come...
[10:07] @Maezono
I like those eyes.
[10:09] @Maezono
Want to bat?
[10:14] Kofuji
It's true!
[10:16] _Guy
He cut his hair!
[10:18] _Guy
I can see his eyes!
[10:19] _Guy
He's turning red!
[10:20] @Tojo
I heard he cut it himself.
[10:29] @Kominato
What? If you've got
something to say, say it!
[10:32] @Sawamura
He's breaking bad!
[10:33] @Sawamura
Harucchi's a delinquent now!
[10:35] @Sawamura
Koshien Stadium has changed Harucchi!
[10:39] @Kominato
So that's what you were thinking.
[10:40] @Miyuki
That should make it easier to see the ball.
[10:43] @Kuramochi
It's long overdue if you ask me.
[10:46] @Aso
An image makeover...
[10:48] @Sawamura
What's happened to you?!
[10:50] @Kominato
Don't over-exaggerate!
[10:51] @Sawamura
Were you suffering alone?!
[10:54] @Sawamura
Or are you a body double?!
[10:56] @Sawamura
Or a first-year impersonating him?!
[10:57] @Sawamura
Could you be the third Kominato
brother, Haruhiko-kun?!
[11:01] @Sawamura
Come back, Harucchi!
[11:04] @Kominato
Eijun-kun...
SIGN Smile
[11:07] @Kominato
Maybe it's time to shut up.
[11:11] @Sawamura
I-It's his older brother!
[11:13] @Kominato
That's it, no more talking.
[11:14] @Sawamura
It's the mighty Kominato genes!
[11:17] @Tojo
Did you see that?
[11:17] @bg_Sawamura
Should I be formal or casual?
How should I talk to you?!
[11:18] Kishima
Yeah.
[11:22] @Kuramochi
That was surprising.
[11:23] @Tojo
They do look alike.
[11:26] @Kominato
I won't say anything.
[11:27] @Kanemaru
Just ignore the idiots.
[11:31] @Sawamura

Oh, but Sawamura-kun is with him,
so I guess he'll be okay.

It's an honor to be in the

If you ever want to throw

Oh, really? Then let's go...

You've already had your massage!
[17:02] (Flashback) fb_Ono
Besides, he's a new recruit.
[17:04] (Flashback) fb_Ono
You'd be too rough on him!
[17:06] (Flashback) fb_Yui
That's fine by me.
[17:08] (Flashback) fb_Yui

The rest of my time here
will be a lot of fun!
[20:03] @Sawamura
The first-years are here
introducing themselves!
[20:06] @Sawamura
Why are you smirking like that?!
[20:06] @Miyuki
I'm the captain.
[20:08] @Miyuki
E-Everybody's watching.
[20:10] @Kataoka
Is that everyone?
[20:12] Rei
There's one more.
[20:13] Rei
He fractured his leg and hasn't
made it to the dorm yet.
[20:18] Rei
Including him, there are thirty-five.
[20:20] Rei
There are several applicants
for support staff as well.
[20:23] @Kataoka
I see.
[20:24] Yui
That's good to hear, right, Haruno?
[20:25] Haruno
Yes.
[20:28] @Kataoka
I'm Coach Kataoka!
[20:30] Ochiai
I'm Ochiai, also a coach.
[20:36] @Kataoka
As you all know,
[20:38] @Kataoka
we were playing at Koshien
Stadium just a few days ago.
[20:43] @Kataoka
Getting used to high school baseball
practice is important, of course,
[20:47] @Kataoka
but I want you to notice
[20:49] @Kataoka
the attitude and approach with
which this team practices.
[20:56] @Kataoka
What they experienced in Koshien Stadium,
what they learned from it,
[21:00] @Kataoka
and what they'll need from here on out...
[21:04] @Kataoka
They've all been steeped in it.
[21:12] @Kataoka
Start by looking for
and feeling with your skin
[21:15] @Kataoka
the kind of baseball we want to play.
[21:19] _All
Yes, sir!
[21:20] int_Ochiai
He's firing them up, I see.
[21:24] int_Ochiai
Those words of encouragement
for the new recruits
[21:28] int_Ochiai
lit a fire under the current team as well.
[21:32] @Kataoka
First-years will have a physical
skills test on Field B!
[21:35] @Kataoka
Second and third-years will
practice on Field A!
[21:38] @Kataoka
After a break, there will be
fielding practice with runners!
[21:41] @Kataoka
Pitchers will be fielding as well!
[21:44] _All
Yes, sir!
[21:46] Narrator
The 59 second- and third-years
[21:48] Narrator
received 35 new recruits.
[21:51] Narrator
The team now has 94 members.
[21:55] Narrator
Seeking to make consecutive
Koshien appearances...
[21:59] @Miyuki
Let's go!
[22:00] _All
Yeah!
[22:02] Narrator
...the new Seido High School
baseball team is now setting off.

Please, everyone!
[23:51] @Kominato
Eijun-kun, focus on the lead-off batter.
[23:56] @Sawamura
You've finally opened your mouth!
[23:58] @Sawamura
Let's use this chance to settle
our differences, Haruichi-kun!
[24:01] @Miyuki
At least he's headed
in the right direction.
[24:03] @Miyuki
This could work.
[24:04] @Miyuki
Show everyone your presence.
[24:06] @Sawamura
I need a winning shot
that only I can throw.
[24:09] @Sawamura
I need to go higher, and then some!
