[00:02] Az
    I have to say, his pitch is peculiar,
[00:05] Az
    and he's a different kid from a year ago.
[00:08] Az
    But he's still very rough.
[00:10] Az
    I can't imagine him
    wearing the ace number.
[00:16] Ch
    You're quite a harsh judge.
[00:17] Az
    Are you kidding?
[00:18] Az
    Do you even know what the third-years
    were like in their first year?
[00:24] Az
    You were head and shoulders above the rest,
[00:26] Az
    but everyone else was just trash.
[00:30] Ch
    Compared to you, everyone's trash—
[00:32] Az
    No way.
[00:33] Az
    They were actually really bad.
[00:36] Fu
    The third-years used to be trash?
[00:40] Az
    How much you can improve is really up to you.
[00:50] Az
    Tell him I said that.

[02:46] Sa
    I haven't apologized for hitting him yet.
[02:51] Ch
    Kawakami.
[02:52] Ch
    He left you words, too.
[02:54] (Flashback) Az
    I only yell at people I like.
[02:58] (Flashback) Az
    He's a good pitcher,
[03:00] (Flashback) Az
    so he should pitch with more confidence.

    You can't believe what
    Azuma-kun said, can you?

    When they joined our team,
[05:23] Re
