[00:01] Ta
    I want to change.
[00:03] Ta
    I need to change myself.
[00:05] Ta
    I want to be a better pitcher!
[00:13] (Flashback) Ka
    If you feel that way,
    then you'll be fine.
[00:20] (Flashback) Ka
    You're a much better pitcher
    than you give yourself credit for.
[00:28] (Flashback) Ka
    Have some faith in your abilities.
[00:45] (Flashback) Ka
    Have faith!
SIGN    Believe
[01:05] (Flashback) Ka
    Have some faith in your abilities.
SIGN    Out!
[01:22] M1
    All right!
[01:24] M3
    Nice pitch, Tanba-kun!
SIGN    A pop fly straight to third base!
SIGN    Tanba's power came through!
[01:34] S1
    Nice pitch!
[01:35] Ha
    One more!
[01:37] R2
    He's shown talent since he was a first-year,
[01:41] R2
    but he didn't look that reliable.
[01:44] R2
    In his final summer,
[01:46] R2
    he's finally...
SIGN    He swung!
SIGN    Strike three!
SIGN    The ace, Tanba, is showing great tenacity!
SIGN    He pulled through with a strikeout!
[02:05] Yu
    Nice pitch!
[02:07] Ry
    Nice!
[02:09] Ku
    You're shining!
[02:12] Is
    Nice, Tanba!
[02:13] R1
    This could change the game.
[02:16] R2
    Yeah.
[02:17] R2
    That was some pitching.
SIGN    Strong Men
SIGN    Seido Inashiro
[04:04] Na
    He's tough.
[04:06] Na
    I thought he'd be more fragile.
[04:09] Ma
    Don't be surprised.
[04:11] Ma
    We're not the only ones
[04:14] Ma
    who've worked hard and improved.
[04:18] Ma
    Let's use more change-ups next inning.
[04:22] Ma
    I want to shift their focus
[04:25] Ma
    to the change-up as we move
    into the late game.
[04:32] Na
    Wow! You're so thoughtful.
    Despite how you look.
[04:35] Ma
    Shut up!
[04:37] Yu
    Let's turn the game around!
[04:38] SS
    Yeah!
[04:41] Ma
    Crush their efforts to turn this game around.
[04:45] Ma
    If you can't do that,
[04:48] Ma
    we don't deserve to go to the nationals.
[04:53] Na
    I'll just crush everyone who gets in my way.
[04:59] An
    Tanba walked three men this inning.
[05:01] A1
    After five innings,
    Seido is two runs behind.
[05:02] An
    He was faced with
    two outs and bases loaded,
[05:06] An
    but he struck out the
    third batter, Yoshizawa,
[05:06] A2
    We'll know who the winner is...
[05:08] An
    proving himself as the ace.
[05:10] A2
    ...in four innings.
[05:19] C1
    Seido's starting from their
    first batter this inning.
[05:24] C2
    Their offense this inning
    will be the turning point.
[05:27] C2
    They need to get at least one run here.
[05:32] C3
    If Inashiro can defend this inning,
[05:34] C3
    it's going to be hard to turn it around.
[05:37] C4
    It's Seido's third time through their lineup.
[05:39] C4
    I'm sure they'll start
    to hit off Narumiya now.
[05:43] C5
    But...
[05:45] C5
    Narumiya hasn't thrown
    very many change-ups yet.
[06:01] C5
    That pitch will make or break the game.
[06:07] CC
    Keep on moving!
[06:11] CC
    Don't ever stop!
SIGN    Top of the sixth.
SIGN    Seido is at bat.
SIGN    First batter and shortstop, Kuramochi-kun.
[06:23] CC
    Don't ever stop!
[06:26] CC
    Keep on moving!
[06:29] CC
    Don't ever stop!
[06:31] CC
    Hit it away!
[06:33] Sa
    Kuramochi!
[06:34] Sa
    Kuramochi!
[06:43] Na
    On your right this time?
[06:46] Na
    I see you're using your brain, but...
[06:58] Ku
    A change-up?
[07:01] I1
    Mei!
[07:06] Um
    Out!
[07:11] Ku
    Damn it.
[07:14] Sa
    Kuramochi-senpai, nice try!
[07:16] Sa
    But I wish you'd actually gotten on base!
[07:18] Sa
    I know you're not a failure!
[07:20] Ku
    I just want to kill him.
SIGN    Batting second, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato-kun.
[07:41] Ma
    Ryo-san!
[07:43] C1
    Kominato!
[08:02] Ch
    Another change-up?
[08:06] Ch
    He only threw it four times
    in the first five innings,
[08:10] Ch
    and that's his third pitch this inning.
[08:15] Ch
    They've changed their pattern.
[08:21] R1
    These are Seido's best batters.
[08:23] R1
    If no one can get on base
    this inning, then...
[08:29] R2
    They're well prepared.
[08:31] R2
    They don't want to give Seido any chance.
[08:48] Ka
    You've got this!
[08:49] Ma
    Just one hit!
[09:03] Na
    Tsubasa-kun!
[09:14] Um
    Out!
[09:24] Na
    Two outs! Two outs!
[09:28] C1
    Wow! They're strong.
[09:30] C2
    Narumiya's too good.
[09:33] C3
    I think this is the game.
SIGN    Two outs already for Seido!
SIGN    They've been unable put a man on base.
[09:42] C1
    Mei!
[09:44] C2
    Nice pitch, Narumiya!
[09:48] Ku
    Ryo-san.
[09:54] Ku
    His leg...
[09:56] Ku
    ...must be really bad.
[10:01] (Flashback) Ku
    Ryo-san, your leg.
[10:05] (Flashback) Ku
    Did you hurt it when you
    slid for home last game?
[10:11] (Flashback) Ry
    What's your point?
[10:15] (Flashback) Ry
    I hit the catcher's leg guard with my shin,
[10:18] (Flashback) Ry
    so it's just a little swollen.
[10:21] (Flashback) Ku
    A little?
[10:22] (Flashback) Ry
    Don't worry.
[10:24] (Flashback) Ry
    I'll have plenty of adrenaline
    flowing in a game.
[10:28] (Flashback) Ry
    Everyone hides minor injuries like this.
[10:32] (Flashback) Ry
    But...
[10:34] (Flashback) Ry
    If you think I'm dragging the team down,
[10:37] (Flashback) Ry
    you should tell the coach.
[10:40] (Flashback) Ry
    If it comes from my year-long partner,
[10:43] (Flashback) Ry
    then I can't disagree.
[10:56] Ka
    Jun-san!
[10:57] Ma
    Let's do this!
[11:02] Is
    I'll destroy you.
[11:06] Na
    It's too late.
[11:08] Na
    Your doom is inevitable.
[11:12] Ma
    Keep it low.
[11:13] Ma
    Low.
[11:26] Um
    Strike!
[11:28] Ch
    That's his fifth change-up this inning.
[11:32] Ch
    That's too many even if
    they've changed their pattern.
[11:36] ---
    Stay alert!
[11:37] S1
    Isashiki!
[11:38] S2
    Let's go, Jun-san!
[11:48] S3
    Come on!
[11:49] S4
    Let's get a hit!
[11:51] S5
    You've got this!
SIGN    Foul!
SIGN    The count is 2-2.
SIGN    He caught the change-up!
[12:22] An
    Yeah!
[12:24] An
    Blast off!
SIGN    But the ball's slowing down.
SIGN    Straight to the outfield.
[12:37] Is
    Damn it!
SIGN    And we go into the bottom.
SIGN    Narumiya completely dominated Seido's top batters!
[12:49] Ma
    That was close.
[12:50] Ma
    The last one came a bit high.
[12:54] Ma
    But now, we've got Seido
    worried about the change-up.
[13:05] Ch
    Was he upset about the ball
    going to the outfield?
[13:10] Ch
    Or...
[13:14] Yu
    Let's go!
[13:15] Is
    Damn straight!
[13:18] Ku
    Ryo-san.
SIGN    Seido Inashiro
SIGN    Bottom of the sixth. Inashiro's up to bat.
SIGN    Their cleanup, Harada, got a base hit.
SIGN    Narumiya, who hit an RBI earlier, is up now,
SIGN    and Seido's ace, Tanba, is slowly being cornered.
[14:06] Ta
    I got it, Tetsu!
[14:07] Mi
    First base!
[14:10] Um
    Out!
[14:12] Sa
    That was a good bunt.
[14:14] I1
    Nice, Mei!
[14:15] I1
    Great bunt!
[14:16] I2
    Mei-san, nice bunt.
[14:18] Na
    Nice bunt?
[14:21] Na
    I could've hit, too, ya know.
[14:26] Na
    Now we have a man on second.
[14:28] Na
    What now, Kazuya?
[14:37] Yu
    Tanba, one out now.
[14:39] Yu
    One batter at a time.
[14:44] Ha
    Tanba-san! One out!
[14:47] C1
    Stay calm!
SIGN    Batting sixth, third baseman, Yamaoka-kun.
[14:52] C1
    Yamaoka, one more!
[14:56] CC
    Yamaoka!
[14:59] CC
    Yamaoka!
[15:11] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[15:12] Mi
    Focus on the batter.
[15:26] Um
    Ball four!
SIGN    Did the last home run cross his mind?
SIGN    Yamaoka goes to first with four balls.
[15:33] An
    Inashiro is in a position to score yet again.
[15:36] A1
    Another walk?
[15:38] A1
    Give me a break, Tanba!
[15:40] An
    Seido can't concede another run here.
[15:40] A2
    He was pitching offensively.
[15:47] R1
    They're not giving Tanba-kun a break.
[15:50] R2
    It's not just that Tanba-kun's
    not at his best.
[15:53] R2
    Inashiro's batters are simply very good.
[15:58] R2
    Every pitch requires a lot of focus.
[16:05] Mi
    Your pitch is looking good.
[16:07] Mi
    Let's go aggressive, Tanba-san.
[16:24] S1
    Yeah!
[16:26] Ha
    A liner to second!
[16:28] C1
    Nice, second!
[16:31] Is
    Two outs! Two outs!
[16:32] Ma
    Ryo-san!
[16:34] Ku
    Ryo-san!
SIGN    Tanba's pitching with tenacity, and the fielders have his back
SIGN    with a tight defense!
SIGN    Can Seido defend this inning
SIGN    and open up their next inning strong?
SIGN    He hits the first pitch!
SIGN    Between the third baseman and shortstop!
SIGN    Soyogi, batting eighth, hits to left field!
SIGN    The runner on second is heading home!
[17:03] I1
    Stop!
SIGN    From the left, Furuya threw directly to home!
SIGN    The runner's stuck on third!
[17:20] Ka
    Furuya!
[17:21] Ma
    Nice one, Furuya!
[17:23] Ha
    That was awesome, Furuya-kun!
[17:25] M1
    Way to go, monster!
[17:26] M1
    Monster prince!
[17:28] M2
    Let's go, Furuya!
[17:30] Sa
    Nice job, Furuya!
[17:32] Sa
    Even if it's a fluke!
[17:35] Na
    No!
[17:37] Na
    Stop taking all of the spotlight!
[17:39] Is
    Stupid!
[17:40] Is
    Let it bounce once!
[17:42] Fu
    I'll take your spot any time.
SIGN    Seido prevented another run, but they're still in a tight spot.
SIGN    Bases are loaded, yet again.
[17:58] Ma
    Send it our way.
[17:59] Yu
    Let's stay aggressive.
[18:00] Is
    Kill them!
[18:03] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[18:04] Mi
    Low and carefully.
[18:08] Mi
    Trust the team.
[18:14] I1
    Let's go, Fujikawa!
[18:16] I2
    You've got this!
[18:19] IC
    We still have the momentum,
[18:22] IC
    but if we can't get another run here...
[18:27] Um
    Play!
[18:29] Ka
    This is the moment.
[18:32] Ka
    This is where you stop their momentum.
[18:51] (Flashback) Ku
    Ryo-san.
[19:00] (Flashback) Ku
    I can't
[19:03] (Flashback) Ku
    make you stop, Ryo-san.
[19:07] (Flashback) Ku
    You're irreplaceable to this team.
[19:13] (Flashback) Ku
    Let's...
[19:17] (Flashback) Ku
    Let's definitely go...
[19:21] (Flashback) Ku
    ...to nationals.
SIGN    Out!
SIGN    And we go into the seventh!
SIGN    Inashiro failed to score in the bottom of the sixth!
SIGN    They couldn't score with the bases loaded!
[20:13] Ma
    Let's go!
SIGN    Second baseman, Kominato, tapped the ball with his glove,
SIGN    and Kuramochi, at shortstop, came in to catch it.
SIGN    What a play by these two to keep Seido alive!
[20:26] Ha
    Wow.
[20:28] Ot
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[20:30] Ch
    If that had gone through,
[20:32] Ch
    we could've conceded two runs.
[20:36] Ka
    Yeah.
[20:39] Ka
    He's tough, that one.
[20:47] M1
    That's our unstoppable duo!
[20:49] M2
    Kuramochi-kun, nice cover!
[20:51] Ha
    Kuramochi-senpai!
[20:53] M3
    Kuramochi!
[20:54] M3
    Kuramochi!
[20:56] Ry
    Good reaction there.
[21:00] Ku
    Oh, no.
[21:02] Ku
    I got lucky you tapped it in my direction.
[21:04] Ku
    I was desperate.
[21:08] Ry
    You saved us.
[21:11] Ry
    Me. And the team.
[21:17] Ry
    Nice cover.
[21:23] Ku
    Thanks!
SIGN    Seido Inashiro
[21:29] R1
    Inashiro had the bases loaded
    two innings in a row, but couldn't score.
[21:33] R1
    I don't think they're too happy with that.
[21:36] R2
    After a storm comes a rainbow.
[21:39] R2
    Seido could really use
    a run here to fight back.
[21:45] IC
    Harada.
[21:48] Ma
    Yes, sir.
[21:50] IC
    This is an important inning.
[21:58] IC
    Don't give them a fighting chance.
[23:36] Mi
    Mei's continuing to pitch at his best.
[23:38] Mi
    We can't give up any more runs,
[23:39] Mi
    but something terrible happens to Tanba-san.
[23:41] Mi
    In the worst possible scenario,
    Inashiro's cleanup is up.
[23:44] Na
    He's at his limit.
[23:45] Na
    Put an end to him, Masa-san.
[23:47] Sa
    We're not done yet!
[23:49] Sa
    The game's just beginning!
[23:51] Ta
    Kawakami, Sawamura.
[23:52] Ta
    Prepare yourselves.
[23:54] Sa
    Boss?
[23:54] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Decision.
SIGN    Decision
[23:57] Mi
    Let's win the national title!
