    I knew we were gonna win!
[05:27] R1
    Your eyes are red.
[05:30] IC
    Our opponent was strong.
[05:34] IC
    We only won because
    the players never gave up.
[05:48] C1
    Masa-san!
[05:49] C1
    Way to go!
[05:50] C2
    I'll go cheer at nationals, too!

    Good luck at nationals.
[06:35] I1
    Wow, that's heavy.
[06:37] I2
    Yeah.
[06:40] I2
    Especially if you think of all 120 schools.
[06:45] (Flashback) EE
    Thank you for a great game!

[07:09] Ma
    As the representatives of West Tokyo,
[07:12] Ma
    we can't do a half-decent job.
[07:16] Ma

[07:28] R2
    You got four runs from Narumiya-kun
    with hits and a squeeze bunt.
[07:32] R2
    You were one step away from beating them.
[07:36] Ka
    The guys all played very well.
[07:40] Ka
    They all did their best out there.
[07:47] Ka
    I couldn't get them to nationals.
[07:52] Ka
    That's my biggest regret right now.
[07:57] C1
    Nice game!
[07:58] C2
    Yuki-kun!
[07:59] C3
    Be proud!
[08:00] C4

    Thank you!
[08:21] C1
    Don't apologize, Yuki!
[08:22] C1
    You were great!
[08:25] C2
    We'll come to cheer again!
[08:38] 31
    They were an out away from nationals,
[08:40] 31
    but they lost in the end.
[08:42] 32
    We lost in a similar manner.
[08:45] 32
    It's a really hard loss.
[08:48] 33
    It gets harder as time passes, too.
[08:55] 31
    I think I'll go home.
[08:58] 32
    You have something to do?
[08:59] 31
    I need to study! Damn it!
[09:01] 31
    I've gotta get ahead while
    the Inashiro guys party at nationals.
[09:07] 32
    But I'm sure they'll get scholarships
    for going to nationals.
[09:09] 31
    Shut up!
[09:10] 31
    I was making a joke!
[09:13] 31
    No matter how the losers feel on the inside,
[09:16] 31
    we have to move on to the next chapter.
[09:24] 31
    The guys at Seido will realize it
    sooner or later.
[09:31] R1
    Mine-san, I may not be fit
     to be a journalist.
[09:35] R1
    I have no words.
[09:38] R1
    They were both very high-level teams,
[09:40] R1
    and the game was incredible.
[09:45] R1
    But...
[09:46] R1
    What was the defining factor today?
[09:53] R2
    That's difficult.
[09:55] R2
    It wasn't a game ridden with errors,
[09:59] R2
    and both teams played
    their own respective styles.
[10:02] R1
    Right.
[10:04] R2
    Seido could've kept going
    and won that game.
[10:12] R2
    But if I really have to say why,
[10:17] R2
    then perhaps it was due to
    Seido's lack of pitchers
[10:20] R2
    that they had to use a first-year pitcher
     in the last inning of the final.
[10:27] R2
    That pitch definitely
    stopped Seido's momentum,
[10:31] R2
    but his prior pitches gave them momentum.
[10:34] R2
    It was also the result of pitching to win.
[10:39] R2
    No one can blame him.
[10:41] R2
    The risk was well calculated.
[10:45] R2
    They'd been winning with relays, after all.
[10:50] R2
    Do you know how many walks
     each team gave?
[10:52] R1
    Y-Yes.
[10:55] R1
    Narumiya-kun gave two for Inashiro.
[10:58] R1
    And for Seido...
[11:02] R1
    Eight walks from four pitchers?
SIGN    Seido Inashiro
[11:06] R2
    Seido managed to win each game
     with four pitchers.
[11:11] R2
    Whereas Inashiro put all
    their faith in their ace.
[11:16] R2
    The lack of an indisputable ace.
[11:19] R2
    Perhaps that's what cost them
     the game in the end.
[11:47] Sa
    Wh-Why?
[11:50] Sa
    We were an out away.
[11:54] Sa
    We were...
[11:56] Sa
    winning.
[11:59] Sa
    It's...
[12:02] Sa
    over?
[12:07] Sa
    It's...
[12:25] (Flashback) Sa
    We'll make nationals if we win one more?
[12:29] (Flashback) Sa
    I didn't even realize that, to be honest!
[12:33] (Flashback) Sa
    What?
[12:35] (Flashback) Sa
    I do what I'm asked to do every game.
[12:40] (Flashback) Sa
    I didn't have the luxury
    of thinking about anything more.
[12:50] (Flashback) Sa
    All my upperclassmen are just so amazing.
[12:55] (Flashback) Sa
    I respect them,
[12:59] (Flashback) Sa
    and they're super cool.
[13:03] (Flashback) Sa
    Well, a few I don't like.
[13:08] (Flashback) Sa
    I'm not really sure how to put it,
[13:10] (Flashback) Sa
    but I just want to keep
    playing with this team.
[13:17] Sa
    We lost.
[13:21] Sa
    This team lost.

    W-Well.
[13:43] Ma
    I'm leaving this room,
    but I'll still live in the dorm.
[13:47] Ma
    I'll come back for my stuff, too.
[13:50] Ma
    But I need to go home
    and talk to my parents first.
[13:55] Ma
    Some of us are doing
    baseball tryouts for college,
[13:59] Ma
    so you'll still see us around.
[14:07] Ma
    Kuramochi.
[14:18] Ma
    Good luck.
[14:49] Ku
    Man, this room feels so big now.
[14:53] Ku
    But there's nothing to rejoice about now.
[14:57] Ku
    I should go see the other rooms.
[14:59] Ku
    Wanna come?
[15:04] Ku
    Hey.
[15:05] Ku
    You can go home, too, you know?
[15:07] ---
    We have the next two days off, Kuramochi-senpai.
[15:11] Ku
    I don't have anything to do back home.
[15:15] Sa
    Well, me neither.
[15:20] Ku
    Hey!
[15:21] Ku
    If you still look like that when
    I get back, you can eat my fist!
[15:33] Ku
    Damn it.
[15:35] Ku
    What am I supposed to tell him?
[15:38] Ku
    I'm still not over it myself!
[15:42] Ku
    The upperclassmen aren't around anymore.
[15:46] Ku
    How am I gonna lead
    the underclassmen like this?
SIGN    — Last Night —
[15:57] Sa
    That night, we came back from a loss.
[16:04] Sa
    No one could touch the food
    that had been prepared for our victory,
[16:08] Sa
    and tears streamed endlessly down
    the third-years' cheeks.
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[16:18] Sa
    And...
[16:21] Sa
    it wasn't better the next morning.
[16:25] Sa
    The moment they saw someone,
[16:27] Sa
    tears overflowed their eyes.
[16:33] Sa
    Their tears were much heavier than ours.
[16:39] Sa
    Much heavier.
[16:42] Sa
    We couldn't cry the way the third-years did.
[16:49] Sa
    That was the only thing we could do
[16:54] Sa
    as the first and second-years.
SIGN    Principal's Office
[16:59] Pr
    I see.
[17:01] Pr
    You'll take two days off.
[17:04] Ka
    Yes, sir.
[17:05] Pr
    I must say, it was a very close game.
[17:09] Pr
    You really gave Inashiro
    a run for their money.
[17:13] Pr
    I was yelling by the end.
[17:17] VP
    However, it's all the more reason why...
[17:22] VP
    ...it's unfortunate.
[17:23] VP
    A real shame.
[17:26] Ka
    The players all fought hard until the end.
[17:32] Ka
    I'm sorry I couldn't bring home the win.
[17:38] Pr
    Oh, please!
[17:40] Pr
    We're not asking for an apology.
[17:43] Pr
    Making it to the final is a feat on its own.
[17:49] Re
    Including the kids who aren't
    trying out for college,
[17:52] Re
    there are still many who
    haven't decided where to go.
[17:57] Re
    I'd like to talk with the team manager
[18:00] Re
    and set up meetings as soon as possible.
[18:05] Ka
    Yeah.

    Sawamura didn't look like himself at all.
[18:40] Mi
    Why didn't I walk up and talk to him?
[18:44] Mi
    Was I rushing to win?

    You're already reviewing yesterday's game?
SIGN    Let's go to the nationals!
[19:01] Ku
    That's great and all,
[19:03] Ku
    but do you have to do it now?
[19:06] Ku
    The upperclassmen have
    already retired, and—
[19:09] Mi
    We weren't good enough.
[19:13] Mi
    I wasn't.
[19:14] Mi
    And the team wasn't.
SIGN    Over the glove!

    Even with such unbelievable upperclassmen,

    we couldn't win.
[19:38] Ku
    He's...
[19:40] Mi
    We don't have the indisputable
    cleanup, anymore.
[19:43] Mi
    We don't have an ace.
[19:46] Mi
    As it stands now,
[19:47] Mi
    going to the nationals next year
    will be nothing but a pipe dream.

    Were you running the entire day?

    Hey!

    I don't want to feel like that, anymore.
[21:17] Fu
    The game ended before my eyes,
[21:20] Fu
    and I was stuck in the dugout.
[21:30] Fu
    If only I...
[21:32] Fu
    If only I had been much better.
[21:40] Fu
    I'll take
[21:42] Fu
    the mound for myself.
[21:56] Fu
    I'll become the ace of this team.
[23:36] Mi
    We're still having a hard time taking the loss,
[23:38] Mi
    but we have to start
    moving on to the next phase.
[23:42] Ha
    I wonder who's going to be the next captain.
[23:45] Ka
    They say having a natural leader
    in your year makes everyone better.
[23:48] Ku
    They want to talk to me?
[23:51] Ku
    Could it be?
[23:52] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Restart.
SIGN    Restart
[23:55] Ka
    Sawamoron, who do you think
     will be the captain?
