**[00:00] Ka**
I have one more thing to say.
**[00:04] Ka**
You are your own worst enemy.
**[00:09] Ka**
The quickest way to win
is to play like you practice.
**[00:14] Ka**
Did anyone quit during
the summer off-season training?
**[00:18] Ka**
No.
**[00:19] Ka**
You guys practiced just as hard
as the third-years did.
**[00:23] Ka**
No matter what, never give up.
**[00:27] Ka**
Have pride in the sweat you've dropped.
***SIGN*** National Champions
**[00:32] Ka**
I have faith in you.
**[00:35] Mi**
* It was like he was speaking*
* his final words.*
**[00:40] Ka**
Do the best you can tomorrow.
**[00:44] Mi**
* Words to push each and*
* every one of us forward.*
**[00:49] Mi**
*You're not quitting.*
**[00:52] Mi**
*We have reasons why we can't lose.*
**[00:57] Ka**
Meeting adjourned.
**[01:01] SS**
*We have to take him to nationals.*
***SIGN*** The Cold Rain
**[02:40] R1**
This is only the first round.
**[02:43] R1**
Why are there so many people
out here in this rain?
**[02:47] R2**
It's not surprising.
**[02:49] R2**
It's a game you can't watch
in the summer tournament.
**[02:53] R2**
Top teams from the east
and west are playing.
**[02:56] TT**
Let's go, Teito! Let's go, Teito!
**[02:59] TT**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Teito!
**[03:03] TT**
Let's go, Teito! Let's go, Teito!
***SIGN*** Teito Seido
**[03:06] TT**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Teito!
**[03:07] R1**
Top of the first,
**[03:08] R1**
two outs and a runner on second
after a walk and a bunt.
**[03:11] R1**
Inui-kun, the cleanup, is up at bat.
**[03:14] R2**
Furuya-kun has a weak early game,
**[03:17] R2**
so I'm sure Teito wants
to take advantage of that.
**[03:44] Mi**
Left!
**[03:48] S1**
Awesome!
**[03:49] S2**
Nice pitch, Furuya!
**[03:51] R1**
He overpowered Inui-kun.
**[03:54] R2**
Yeah. He only pitched fastballs.
**[03:56] R2**
He must be feeling pretty good.
**[03:58] R1**
His early game
**[04:00] R1**
seems to have improved,
considering he overpowered the cleanup.
**[04:04] Mi**
That flew pretty far.
**[04:07] Sa**
They're not fazed by
Furuya's pitch at all!
**[04:09] Sa**
It's only a matter of time!
**[04:12] Ta**
How was it?
**[04:15] In**
It felt like lead.
**[04:19] In**
When I stood in the box
and experienced the pitch,
**[04:23] In**
I thought I was struck by lightning!
**[04:26] Ta**
You got struck by lightning again?
**[04:29] TC**
Kengo, Taiyo!
**[04:32] TC**
That kid's a monster.
**[04:34] TC**
If he gets going,
**[04:37] TC**
he'll have the entire crowd on his side!
**[04:42] Ta**
*You two give him way too much credit.*
**[04:45] TC**
Don't give him the upper hand!
**[04:47] TC**
Show him up, Taiyo!
**[04:49] TC**
Show the greenhorns what you're made of!
**[04:55] Ka**
Wait for the pitch,
then hit toward the right.
**[04:59] Ka**
Don't expect many freebies from him.
**[05:01] Ka**
So don't swing at whatever
comes your way until you're cornered.
**[05:06] Ka**
On your first at-bat,
**[05:08] Ka**
be bold and ignore the low pitches.
**[05:15] R2**
* He's a first-year like Furuya-kun,*
* but he's been to nationals.*
**[05:19] R2**
* After pitching at nationals,*
* how has he grown?*
**[05:30] Um**
Strike!
**[05:35] Ku**
*He has good control.*
**[05:43] Ku**
*That was close, stupid!*
**[05:46] Ta**
My bad.
**[05:51] Um**
Strike!
**[05:54] Ku**
*Wow! That's far.*
**[05:57] R2**
From in-low to in-high,
and then out-low.
**[06:02] R2**
With the ball going to so many corners,
**[06:04] R2**
the strike zone must
seem bigger than usual.
**[06:12] Ku**
*The out-low corner.*
**[06:17] Ku**
*A screwball?*
**[06:19] Um**
Strike!
**[06:21] Um**
Batter out!
**[06:22] R1**
He couldn't help swinging at that one.
**[06:25] R2**
Yeah.
**[06:26] R2**
But I'm sure Seido has a plan
against his low breaking balls.
**[06:30] Ku**
His screwball drops quite a bit.
**[06:33] Ta**
* You knew it in your head,*
* but your body just reacted.*
**[06:37] Ta**
*Right?*
**[06:38] Ta**
*I love having that control over you.*
**[06:42] SS**
Let's get a big one, Furuya! Let's go!
***SIGN*** Teito Seido
**[06:47] S1**
Come on, Furuya!
**[06:49] S2**
You've got this!
**[06:59] Um**
Strike! Batter out!
**[07:03] In**
Two outs!
**[07:05] Fu**
*I thought that was a ball.*
**[07:10] S1**
Isn't the umpire a little
lenient with the low balls?
**[07:16] Mi**
* The mitt doesn't move,*
* and the ball sounds dry on the mitt.*
**[07:21] Mi**
*It's not just about Mukai's control.*
**[07:24] Mi**
*That catcher's really good at catching.*
**[07:31] (Flashback) TC**
Kengo, that Mukai's got
an impressive pitch.
**[07:37] (Flashback) TC**
He's fresh out of junior high, but he's smart.
**[07:40] (Flashback) TC**
He knows to pitch
where batters hate the most.
**[07:43] (Flashback) TC**
Though he's a little bit narcissistic.
**[07:48] (Flashback) TC**
He's very good at using the corners,
**[07:51] (Flashback) TC**
but if the catcher sucks at catching,
**[07:54] (Flashback) TC**
he'll never make it big.
**[07:58] (Flashback) TC**
Whether or not he makes it
**[08:01] (Flashback) TC**
is all on you, Kengo.
***SIGN*** ° This practice method isn't for everyone.
**[08:12] Um**
Strike two!
**[08:18] In**
Nice pitch!
**[08:19] R1**
He's only pitching low.
**[08:23] R2**
Yeah.
**[08:24] R2**
I'm sure Seido's waiting
for an easy pitch,
**[08:28] R2**
but they're not getting it.
**[08:31] R2**
*The batters put up a good fight,*
**[08:33] R2**
* but they all get jammed*
* on a tricky pitch.*
**[08:39] Um**
Out!
**[08:40] Um**
Three outs! Change!
**[08:43] T1**
Nice pitch, Taiyo!
**[08:45] T2**
Keep 'em coming!
**[08:47] R2**
Mukai-kun's use of the corners is superb,
**[08:51] R2**
and their fielders look impenetrable.
**[08:54] R2**
It won't be easy to take out Teito.
***SIGN*** Top of the 3rd
**[09:10] Ta**
*Ow.*
**[09:14] Mi**
One out!
**[09:16] R1**
Furuya-kun overpowers
the batters, unlike Mukai-kun.
**[09:20] R2**
Yeah.
**[09:21] R2**
I don't think he's thrown
any breaking balls yet.
**[09:24] R2**
Miyuki-kun's making
very aggressive calls today.
**[09:34] T1**
Let's go!
**[09:35] TT**
Kaji! Kaji! Kaji! Kaji!
**[09:38] C1**
Ohh.
**[09:39] C1**
Teito's second hit today.
**[09:41] C2**
That pitcher's pretty tough.
**[09:44] C1**
They used a bunt in the first inning.
**[09:47] C2**
You think they'll do something
during their second at-bats?
**[09:51] TT**
Let's go, Teito! Let's go, Teito!
**[09:54] TT**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Teito!
**[09:57] (Flashback) Mi**
Teito isn't a team you can
take down with tricky plays.
**[10:01] (Flashback) Mi**
You just need to focus
on the batter at all times.
**[10:05] Mi**
*On top that, it's raining.*
**[10:07] Mi**
*I don't want Furuya to think.*
**[10:11] Mi**
*Overpower him with your pitch.*
**[10:17] R1**
They're aggressive, even with a runner.
**[10:20] R2**
Yeah.
**[10:21] R2**
They're prioritizing
the batter over the runner.
**[10:25] R2**
*The battery looks confident in their plays.*
**[10:35] R1**
A steal!
**[10:37] R2**
*No, a hit and run.*
**[10:42] T1**
He missed!
**[10:43] Mi**
*Focus on the batter.*
**[10:46] ---**
Out!
**[10:51] Mi**
*I'll take care of the runner.*
***SIGN*** Teito Seido
**[10:57] C1**
I thought it was going
to clear up after lunch.
**[11:00] C1**
So much for that forecast.
**[11:03] C2**
*What a shame.*
***SIGN*** Top of the 4th
**[11:10] S1**
Two outs!
**[11:12] Ku**
Two outs!
**[11:14] Ma**
We've got your back!
**[11:30] Um**
Strike!
**[11:31] Um**
Batter out!
**[11:33] Ha**
Nice pitch, Furuya-kun!
**[11:35] Ha**
You held them off again!
**[11:37] M1**
Way to go, monster!
**[11:39] S1**
Nice pitch, Furuya!
**[11:41] S2**
Keep it up, Furuya!
**[11:44] Fu**
*I want to change my undershirt.*
**[11:47] Ta**
*So forceful and unelegant.*
**[11:51] C1**
I came to see Mukai-san,
but that guy's good, too.
**[11:55] C1**
He's the polar opposite of Mukai-san.
**[11:58] C1**
This is a great pitchers' game.
**[12:02] C1**
Koshu, whose pitch
do you want to catch?
**[12:12] C2**
Wow! That defense!
**[12:14] C3**
Did you see how fast he threw
that after he caught it?
**[12:18] C2**
Seido doesn't have a hit yet.
**[12:32] Sa**
Right to the fielder!
**[12:34] Sa**
It must be karma!
**[12:36] Ha**
For what?!
**[12:39] R1**
The hits are starting to fly.
**[12:42] R2**
They hit the corner pitches,
so the balls only fly to the fielders.
**[12:47] Ma**
* Wait for the ball,*
* then smack it head on.*
**[12:53] Um**
Strike!
**[12:54] Um**
Batter out!
**[12:55] Ta**
*What a scary swing.*
**[13:00] Ta**
*If only you could hit the ball.*
**[13:04] Oc**
*Why is he back in the three-hole?*
**[13:08] Oc**
*I'd take him out of the lineup.*
**[13:11] Ka**
Switch gears.
**[13:13] Ka**
We just have to be persistent
until we get the pitch we want.
**[13:18] Ma**
Yes, sir!
***SIGN*** Top of the 5th
**[13:23] TT**
Let's go, Teito! Let's go, Teito!
**[13:26] TT**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Teito!
**[13:30] TT**
Let's go, Teito! Let's go, Teito!
**[13:32] R1**
The rain is getting stronger again.
**[13:33] TT**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Teito!
**[13:35] R2**
Yeah.
**[13:36] Fu**
*I only just changed my undershirt.*
**[13:39] Mi**
Furuya!
**[13:41] Mi**
Swing your arm all the way!
**[13:43] Fu**
*How many undershirts did I bring?*
**[13:47] Mi**
Are you listening?
**[13:48] C1**
How many innings are required
to validate the game?
**[13:50] C2**
Seven in the rain.
**[13:53] C3**
If the rain gets any stronger,
maybe they'll stop the game.
**[13:57] Sa**
Damn this rain!
**[14:00] S1**
Didn't you say you
could call out the sun?
**[14:03] Sa**
I hate this weather!
**[14:09] C1**
A bunt!
**[14:12] S1**
*Right on the line.*
**[14:14] S1**
*Will it cross?*
**[14:17] S1**
*It stopped 'cause of the rain!*
**[14:19] C1**
He made it to first!
**[14:21] C2**
Teito has a runner with no outs!
**[14:28] Fu**
*Damn.*
**[14:30] Fu**
*The rosin bag doesn't help at all.*
**[14:34] Ha**
*The rain seems to get stronger...*
**[14:37] Ku**
*...only when we're defending.*
**[14:40] Ma**
*I need to grip tight when I throw,*
**[14:42] Ma**
*or the ball might fly out.*
**[14:45] Mi**
* We're all playing under*
* the same conditions.*
**[14:48] Mi**
*Focus.*
**[14:49] Mi**
*If you lose focus, they'll punish you.*
**[14:51] Mi**
*Stay focused!*
**[14:59] Um**
Ball four!
**[15:07] Ot**
*The rain's getting stronger.*
**[15:10] Mi**
*The ball's starting to rise.*
**[15:13] Mi**
Can we get a new rosin bag?
**[15:14] TC**
*Sorry, kiddos.*
**[15:16] TC**
*Looks like the weather's on our side.*
**[15:23] Fu**
*Damn!*
**[15:25] Fu**
*Dumb rain.*
**[15:29] [SONG] On-screen**
Edogawa City Baseball Stadium
**[15:39] Um**
Ball two!
**[15:41] R1**
Is that a breaking ball?
**[15:43] R2**
No, it's a fastball.
**[15:46] R2**
The rain's making it
hard to grip the ball.
**[15:51] Mi**
Does the rain bother you?
**[15:53] Mi**
But you threw that one
into the ground,
**[15:56] Mi**
so the ball wouldn't rise, right?
**[15:58] Fu**
Yes.
**[15:59] Fu**
I didn't want the ball to fly out.
**[16:02] Fu**
That's good.
***SIGN*** Teito Seido
**[16:05] Mi**
I can't do anything if it goes over my head,
**[16:09] Mi**
but if it bounces, I'll catch it.
**[16:13] Mi**
Stay aggressive.
**[16:17] C1**
They're not pausing the game with this rain?
**[16:20] C2**
No outs and runners on first and second.
**[16:23] C2**
Teito really wants to get
a runner on third here.
**[16:28] C2**
Maybe a passed ball, even.
**[16:35] Ta**
*Ball two.*
**[16:36] Ta**
*I'll just go if it comes down the middle.*
**[16:40] Ma**
One at a time!
**[16:41] Ku**
We've got your back!
**[16:43] Ma**
Let's get one out first!
**[16:51] Mi**
*Let's do this.*
**[16:59] Ta**
*Is that too strong?*
**[17:01] Mi**
Third!
**[17:05] Um**
Out!
**[17:09] S1**
Nice out at third!
**[17:11] S2**
That's how we do it!
**[17:13] S1**
Furuya! Nice fielding!
**[17:16] TC**
*It's too bad we couldn't get to third,*
**[17:19] TC**
*but that's that.*
**[17:22] TC**
* Kajiyama, he hasn't thrown*
* any breaking balls yet.*
**[17:27] TC**
*They're all fastballs.*
**[17:30] TC**
*Let's go big!*
**[17:37] TC**
*A splitter?*
**[17:40] TC**
* Are they not afraid*
* of a passed ball?*
**[17:45] Mi**
* If you let it bounce,*
* I'll catch it.*
**[17:49] Mi**
*Be aggressive.*
**[17:58] Ot**
Two outs!
**[18:19] Fu**
*The rain is not the enemy.*
**[18:22] Fu**
*I am.*
**[18:37] S1**
Yeah! Strikeout!
**[18:40] S2**
He held them off from no outs
and runners on first and second?
**[18:43] S2**
That last out was incredible!
**[18:50] TC**
*Th...*
**[18:51] TC**
*This kid...*
**[18:57] C1**
Wow!
**[18:59] Ka**
Nice pitch, Furuya!
**[19:01] S1**
I got goosebumps, dude!
**[19:03] Ka**
Good focus.
**[19:05] Ka**
Good fight.
**[19:11] Ka**
All right, let's go this inning!
**[19:15] Mi**
Let's put some pressure
on them this inning.
***SIGN*** Due to the heavy rain, we have paused the game.
***SIGN*** Thank you for your patience.
**[19:39] T1**
Seriously? Can I borrow that DVD?
**[19:43] T2**
Sorry. Mine's on Blu-ray.
**[19:45] T1**
Are you serious?
**[19:47] T1**
What am I supposed to do with all my DVDs?
**[19:50] T2**
I don't know.
**[19:53] R1**
This is a long pause.
**[19:55] R2**
With the field in such bad condition,
**[19:58] R2**
they can't resume the game so quickly.
**[20:01] R2**
But it would be a pain
to reschedule the game, too.
**[20:07] R2**
*Both pitchers are putting up a good fight.*
**[20:11] R2**
*How will this pause affect them?*
**[20:18] Sa**
Let's go!
**[20:20] S1**
Sawamura, let's go back to the dugout—
**[20:22] Sa**
Not yet!
**[20:24] Sa**
Thank you!
**[20:25] T1**
That guy's pitching during the pause.
**[20:28] T2**
We don't even know
when the rain will clear up.
**[20:31] T2**
What an idiot, huh, Mukai?
**[20:34] Ta**
Yeah.
**[20:36] Ta**
*I didn't mind continuing the game.*
**[20:40] S1**
Sawamura, you're still pitching?
**[20:43] S1**
Everyone's looking at you.
**[20:45] S1**
You're so good at selling yourself.
**[20:48] S1**
I should learn from you.
**[20:49] Sa**
I'm not trying to sell myself!
**[20:54] Sa**
I just can't sit around doing nothing!
**[21:01] Sa**
*Damn.*
**[21:03] Sa**
*He stepped it up another notch.*
**[21:09] Ka**
*Furuya's looking really good today.*
**[21:12] Ka**
* After the rain got heavier,*
* he was really shining.*
***SIGN*** Zzzz
**[21:16] Ka**
He's sleeping?
**[21:19] Mi**
You're way too relaxed, stupid.
**[21:22] Mi**
Can you get your focus back
when we resume?
**[21:25] Mi**
How many undershirts
do you have left?
**[21:28] Fu**
Just this and one more.
**[21:31] Mi**
Then you can use mine.
**[21:34] Mi**
We resume on the offense,
so keep your shoulder warm.
**[21:42] Mi**
*That momentum...*
**[21:51] Mi**
*To be frank, this was an unfavorable pause.*
**[23:30] Sa**
The rain's letting up,
so we're back in the game.
**[23:32] Sa**
But Furuya seems to be off his game.
**[23:35] Fu**
Something's off.
**[23:36] Fu**
We're in a pinch,
but I can't get my spirits up.
**[23:39] Sa**
Get ahold of yourself!
**[23:40] Sa**
Remember one thing!
**[23:41] Sa**
Run for your life when you're covering!
**[23:43] Sa**
If your head's not in the game,
then I'm going in!
**[23:46] Sa**
Next time on *Ace of the Diamond Season 2*:
Out of Order.
**[23:50] Sa**
Let's win the national title!
