SIGN    Outsider
[01:51] An
    We're quickly approaching
    the end of the summer nationals.
[01:54] An
    In game one of the semifinals,
[01:56] An
    the ace at Inashiro, Narumiya, pitched well
[01:59] An
    and took down Ikuei 7-4.
[02:01] An
    Just one game away from the top.
[02:04] I1
    They're only focusing on you!
[02:06] I1
    What's with that face?
[02:08] Ma
    Hey, Mei.
[02:09] Ma
    Why are you still up?
[02:10] Ma
    You need to rest for tomorrow.
[02:12] Ma
    You're going to be pitching
    two days in a row.
[02:14] Na
    It's not even eight yet.
[02:16] Na
    I can't sleep yet.
[02:18] Ma
    I'm saying you need to rest your body.
[02:20] Na
    That's no fun.
[02:22] Na
    It's our last day staying here.
[02:25] Na
    I bet you were one of those people
    who slept early on school field trips.
[02:28] Ma
    Shut up!
[02:30] I1
    The upperclassmen aren't acting
    any different, even at nationals.
[02:34] I1
    I've been feeling like I'm up in the clouds.
[02:37] I2
    I know!
[02:38] I2
    The crowd is so huge here!
[02:40] I2
    And all the teams we've played
     are so famous.
[02:43] I1
    And we've made it to the final.
[02:44] I1
    One more win,
    and we'll be national champions.
[02:47] I1
    But for some reason,
[02:48] I1
    when I'm with these guys,
[02:50] I1
    I'm not surprised we've made this far.
[02:58] I1
    They should be feeling more exhaustion
    compared to us who aren't playing, yet...
[03:03] I3
    I'm sure they'll do it.
[03:05] I3
    I can't imagine them losing.
[03:09] Na
    Oh, man!
SIGN    tension
[03:10] Na
    Maybe I'll go to bed since you're so loud!
SIGN    jitter
[03:12] Ma
    Yes! Go to sleep!
[03:13] Ma
    Sleep like a pool of mud!
[03:15] I3
    I think.
[03:17] Na
    Oh, I forgot to say one thing.
[03:20] Na
    Iguchi-san.
[03:22] Na
    With so many hot days,
[03:25] Na
    I couldn't have made it here alone.
[03:28] Na
    I'm really grateful.
[03:31] Na
    Yoshi-san and Tsubasa-kun.
[03:33] Na
    I can feel relaxed
    with you defending behind me.
[03:37] Na
    I think the team we have this year
    is the strongest team ever.
[03:43] Na
    Please bear with me for one more day.
[03:48] I1
    It was just for a moment,
    but Mei lowered his head!
[03:52] Na
    Masa-san.
[03:56] Na
    Let's take the top.
[03:57] Ma
    Of course.
[03:59] Ma
    We've already made it this far.
[04:03] Ma
    Don't strain your neck sleeping.
[04:06] Na
    Okay.
[04:06] Na
    Well, good night!
[04:08] II
    Good night!
[04:11] I1
    I bet it's not that he can't go to sleep.
[04:15] I1
    He doesn't want to.
[04:16] ---
    You know?
[04:18] I1
    Okay! I'll take tomorrow's game by storm!
[04:22] I1
    Tomorrow's game will be
    the last game we'll play together.
[04:26] I1
    It's the last game he'll pitch to you.
[04:30] Ma
    Win or lose,
[04:32] Ma
    we just give our very best tomorrow.
[04:37] Ma
    I think the team is more
    than happy already...
SIGN    August 21
[04:41] Ma
    ...for being able to go into
    our last game like this.
SIGN    Hanshin Koshien Stadium
[04:46] Ma
    This summer, only one school
    can go without losing once,
[04:52] Ma
    and be at the top of 4,059 schools.
[04:56] Ma
    Let's go!
[04:57] II
    Yeah!
SIGN    Both teams are looking energetic today.
SIGN    This is the national tournament final!
SIGN    Will Inashiro from West Tokyo take it?
SIGN    Or will Komadai Fujimaki from South Hokkaido take it?
[05:08] 3C
    Okay, okay.
SIGN    Ichidai Third High
[05:10] 3C
    Let's watch this game closely today.
[05:12] 3C
    We will be the ones standing there next year.
SIGN    The starting pitcher for Inashiro is the Tokyo Prince!
SIGN    Mei Narumiya!

    Going all the way to the final means
    they'll have a late start for the new team.
SIGN    Sensen Academy
SIGN    Mutter Mutter
[05:27] EC
    Though I'm sure Kunitomo-san
    has some sort of a plan,
[05:31] EC
    this could be our chance to go
    to the fall invitiational, Maki.
[05:35] YC
    I'm sure he's exhausted from
    pitching so much at the nationals.
SIGN    Yakushi High School
[05:39] YC
    It's your chance to destroy him
    in the fall prelims and get famous, Raichi!
SIGN    Akikawa Academy
SIGN    The entire nation has its eyes on this second-year ace!
SIGN    What will he show us today at the national final?
SIGN    And it's play ball!
[05:56] Sa
    The national final...
[06:00] Sa
    What is it like to stand on the mound there?
[06:11] Na
    Just like any other game,
[06:13] Na
    the target is so big.
[06:17] Na
    Now, let's go look at...
[06:23] Na
    ...the scene from the top.
[06:27] 31
    Yeah!
[06:29] 32
    It's the beach!
[06:31] 33
    Let's swim, baby!
[06:33] 31
    I'm gonna get a real tan!
[06:38] 32
    There aren't many people here.
[06:40] 32
    Even though it's the beach.
[06:41] 34
    No surprise there.
[06:43] 34
    It's past the Bon Festival.
[06:45] 34
    No one swims at the beach, anymore.
[06:47] 34
    Jellyfish also come out.
[06:49] 31
    You didn't change?
[06:50] 32
    What?
[06:51] 32
    I wanted to do something
    summer-like for once!
[06:53] 34
    Your fault for wanting
    to come to the beach.
[06:56] 32
    Hot!
[06:56] 33
    Damn it.
[06:57] 33
    I should've suggested the pool.
SIGN    Idiot!
[06:59] 3A
    Idiot!
[07:02] B1
    Mom, why are only their
    arms and faces tanned?
[07:07] M1
    They're baseball boys.
[07:09] M1
    They're here to try to make summer memories.
[07:15] 31
    Sorry, Koichiro.
[07:17] 31
    For inviting you out of the blue.
[07:19] 31
    You're stuck with these guys, too.
[07:21] Ta
    Well, I hadn't been out lately,
[07:23] Ta
    so it's a nice change.
[07:27] 31
    You haven't been practicing?
[07:29] 31
    What about tryouts?
[07:30] Ta
    I applied for one tryout,
[07:32] Ta
    but I don't really have high hopes for that.
[07:35] Ta
    I didn't even do much the last tournament.
[07:39] Ta
    So I'll probably just take the exam.
[07:42] 31
    I see.
[07:44] 31
    Well, our guys are in the same shoes.
[07:48] 31
    We lost pretty early, so some
    started focusing to studying early.
[07:53] 31
    I got hit by a line drive
    and forfeited the mound.
[07:56] 31
    You got switched out from a leg cramp.
[08:00] 31
    In the end, we had nothing but regrets.
[08:06] 32
    Come back!
[08:09] 33
    A ukulele?
[08:13] 31
    I wonder if...
[08:15] 31
    ...the national final is done yet.
[08:25] 31
    I can't quit.
[08:29] 31
    I can't quit baseball like this.
[08:32] 31
    Can you?

    Good luck, guys!
[09:16] C2
    You guys are the only team that
    took four runs from Narumiya!
[09:20] C3
    We're counting on you, Seido batters!
[09:23] Mi
    I see.
[09:24] Mi
    So that's what's going on.
[09:25] Ma
    That was only because of the third-years...
[09:27] Ku
    Sheesh.
[09:28] Ku
    Why couldn't they just win nationals?
[09:31] Ku
    It might've demotivated Narumiya
    for next year.
[09:34] Mi
    Yeah, right. He's not the type.
[09:37] Mi
    I'm sure he'll come back even bigger.
[09:40] Ku
    Why are you so happy?
[09:46] S1
    Hey, look!
[09:47] S2
    They came early, and they're running!
[09:49] S3
    We're practicing all day today.
[09:51] S3
    Do they want to die?
[09:57] (Flashback) Na
    Come on!
[10:03] Ma
    Narumiya was pitching, and we couldn't win.
[10:05] Ma
    Everyone accepts the loss.
[10:09] Ma
    Regrettably, we couldn't help
    Narumiya by scoring more runs.
[10:14] Ma
    He was our ace until the very end.
[10:17] Ma
    I'm sure he wouldn't accept my thanks,
[10:19] Ma
    but I want to tell him, "Thank you."
[10:24] Sa
    Nationals...
[10:27] Sa
    I want to stand on that mound, too.

    Sawamura is as loud as ever.
[10:42] C2
    It just means he's healthy again.
[10:45] C2
    I was a little worried for a bit.
[10:47] C3
    Excuse me.
[10:48] C3
    Are those two first-years?
[10:51] C4
    What?
[10:52] C4
    Did you not watch the final?

    No.
[10:56] C4
    The taller one's Satoru Furuya.

SIGN    Wait...
[10:58] C4
    His fastball is monstrous,
     despite being just a first-year.
SIGN    huff huff
[11:02] C4
    And the loud one is Eijun Sawamura.
[11:06] C4
    He's a valuable southpaw for the team.
[11:09] C4
    And Norifumi Kawakami is our
    right-handed sidearm pitcher.
[11:12] C4
    If these three grow,
    the new team should do pretty well.
[11:18] C3
    Three pitchers, each with a unique style.
[11:21] C4
    You're not a Seido alumnus, are you?
[11:24] C3
    Yeah, sorry.

    I'm an outsider.

    Our average score in scrimmages
    is less than three.
[12:20] I1
    Compared to last year's team,
    we definitely don't sound like a batting team.

    Idiot.
[12:26] Ka
    We've gotta take advantage of that.

    The bottom of the order is always changing.

    We'll start game-simulated
    batting practice at 1:30 PM!

    Let's stay focused

    Yes, sir!
[12:44] Mi
    Nori, can you warm up your shoulders?
[12:48] Mi
    I want the batters to be
    able to hit cleanly today.
[12:51] Mi
    You can go a little easy on the control,
    but I need strong, live pitching.

    Just between you and me, I can't ask
    the first-years to do something so hard.
[13:02] Mi
    Okay?
[13:05] Ka
    Okay, I'll try.

    Thanks.

    Kawakami will be fine.

    His form isn't broken,
    and he knows the position he's in.
[13:31] Re
    He's a keen observer.
[13:33] Re
    He keeps the perfect distance
    between himself and the players.
[13:36] Re
    He's the only coach I know
    who's so good at doing that.
[13:42] Sa
    All right! Time for lunch!

    I-I'm gonna melt.
[13:46] Ha

[13:48] O1
    Hey, boys.
[13:50] O1
    What time do you practice until?
[13:52] Sa
    Until six, I believe.
[13:54] O1
    From nine in the morning?
[13:56] O1
    That's long.
[13:59] O1
    Isn't it tough?
[14:02] Sa
    Well...
[14:03] Sa
    It's hot, and I don't get to pitch much,
[14:07] Sa
    so I do have complaints.
[14:09] O1
    Yet this team is so energetic.
[14:13] Sa
    Well, of course.
[14:15] Sa
    We're practicing because
    we don't want to lose.
[14:18] Sa
    We can't complain about
     the weather or being tired.
[14:21] Sa
    Excuse us!
[14:24] O1
    But you'll lose.
[14:27] O1
    In a competition, most people lose.

[14:36] O1
    You train so hard,
    sweating gallons every day,
[14:39] O1
    and I have to say it's commendable.
[14:43] O1
    But you guys are, you know...
[14:46] O1
    ...huge masochists.
[14:47] Sa
    What?
[14:48] O1
    Athletes are all masochists and narcissists.
[14:53] O1
    You just like the idea of working hard.
[14:55] O1
    Otherwise, you're all just idiots.
SIGN    Idiots!
[14:57] O1

[15:07] Ha
    Eijun-kun, let's go.

    Damn it.
[15:11] Sa
    Who was that old man?
[15:12] Sa
    He got on my nerves really fast!
[15:14] Ha
    Don't worry about him.
[15:16] Ha
    Some people are just like that.
[15:19] Ma
    A new assistant coach, sir?
[15:22] Ka
    Yes.
[15:23] Ka
    He's not an alumnus coach
    like the ones who come sometimes.
[15:26] Ka
    He'll be here as an official assistant coach.
[15:29] Sa
    What are we talking about?
[15:32] Ka
    We're getting a new coach.
[15:34] Ka
    He taught for twenty years
    at Kokaidai Sagara in Kanagawa,
[15:39] Ka
    and he left the team with the head coach,
    Yamamoto, when he retired.
[15:44] S1
    Kokaidai's a regular at nationals.
[15:47] S2
    Yeah.
[15:47] Mi
    I'd heard that both assistant and
    head coaches here were mostly alumni.
[15:55] Mi
    And why now?
[15:55] Ka
    He has a lot of experience
    in conditioning exercises.
[16:00] Ka
    I plan to incorporate any good ideas he has.

    The principal is so quick to find someone,
    or should I say, underhanded?
[16:06] Pr
    I'm so glad I found someone for the job.
[16:09] Ot
    He'd been asking this guy
    to come for two years already.
[16:14] Ka
    All in all, the plan is to get
    the team stronger during the summer.
[16:18] Ka
    Make sure you tackle your weaknesses
    before the fall tournament!
[16:22] SS
    Yes, sir!
[16:23] Sa
    A new assistant coach?
[16:27] Pr
    I see.
[16:28] Pr
    So you were observing the practice today.
[16:32] O1
    Yes.
[16:33] Pr
    So what do you think of
     our team, Ochiai-san?
[16:37] Oc
    You have a very nice facility
    and a lot of good players.

    Yet you haven't made nationals.

    to us during this season.

    during the summer season.

    they're still high schoolers.

    If they can't play to the best
    of their ability on the field,
[17:53] Ka
    they'll be the ones
     with the bitter memories.
[17:58] Oc
    I think I'll just observe for now.
[18:02] Oc
    I haven't memorized anyone's
    faces and names yet,
[18:05] Oc
    and I want to get a feel
    for the kind of practice you do.
[18:08] Ka
    Okay.

    Feel free to bring me any remarks you have.
[18:12] Ka
    If it'll help the team improve,
[18:15] Ka
    I'll set up as many meetings as possible.
[18:17] Oc
    Are you sure about that?
[18:20] Oc
    Can I change this team however I see fit?
[18:27] Oc
    Just kidding.
[18:29] Oc
    I'm actually pretty shy.
[18:31] Ot
    What?
[18:32] Oc
    Yes.
[18:32] Oc
    I'm sorry.
[18:39] S1
    Wow.
[18:40] Ka
    Tojo's hitting pretty well.
[18:45] To
    Thank you for the nice pitching,
    Kawakami-senpai!
[18:48] Ka
    Crap.
[18:49] Ka
    I'm getting depressed.
[18:51] Ka
    He's got talent.
[18:53] Ka
    I was pretty serious.
[18:55] Oc
    Is that batter a first-year?
[18:57] Re
    Yes, he's Hideaki Tojo.
[19:00] Re
    He came here as a pitcher,
[19:02] Re
    but he asked to switch to the outfield.
[19:04] Re
    Still, he was a good pitcher
    in junior high,
[19:06] Ka
    You look good.
[19:06] Re
    so he still has potential
    as a pitcher in the long run.
[19:07] To
    I can do better.
[19:13] To
    After five months at Seido,
[19:17] To
    I've already gotten a good welcome
    from high school baseball.
[19:22] To
    What I did in junior high
    doesn't mean anything here.
[19:27] To
    This is the only way
    I can rise up in this team.
[19:33] To
    It's the only way.
[19:35] S1
    Tojo, huh?
[19:37] S1
    He has a knack for batting,
[19:38] S1
    and he also has a strong shoulder
    since he used to pitch.
[19:41] S2
    Yeah! Yeah!
[19:42] S2
    Gotta watch out for him!
[19:43] S1
    He should've just stayed a pitcher.
[19:46] S2
    Yeah.
[19:47] S1
    The only definitive outfielder is Shirasu.
SIGN    Shirasu, Right Fielder, Batting Sixth 21 At BAts, 7 Hits (BA .333)
[19:51] S1
    Furuya usually goes into the left field, too.
[19:53] Sa
    What's that hand on your hip?
[19:56] S1
    Which means...
[19:57] S2
    Only one spot left for the outfielder spot.
SIGN    Naomichi Seki
SIGN    Takeru Aso
SIGN    Hideaki Tojo
[20:06] S1
    It's going to be mine!
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Field
[20:08] S2
    Right?
[20:08] S1
    I'm taking it!
[20:10] S3
    Outfield! Catch the flies!
[20:14] Mi
    August.
SIGN    Seido Baseball
[20:15] Mi
    Our game results so far,
    including the second-string games,
[20:17] Mi
    have been 8 wins and 4 losses.
[20:20] Mi
    We have more wins,
    but we lack scoring power,
[20:24] Mi
    and all the games have been close.
[20:26] Ot
    I'm still not sure about this new team.
[20:30] Mi
    However, the poor results...
[20:33] Mi
    ...gave the first-years hope
    to make the first-string.
SIGN    Higasa, Third Baseman, Batting Seventh 20 At BAts, 5 Hits (BA .250)
[20:39] S1
    Can I do another box?
[20:41] M1
    Yeah. Got it.
[20:44] Mi
    Not everything's meshing perfectly yet,
[20:47] Mi
    but the hungry first-years are also
    pushing the second-years to strive.
[20:51] Mi
    The overall atmosphere
    isn't actually bad.
[20:51] Sa
    Let's get in the bullpen!
SIGN    Saturday: Chiba at Seido Sunday: Arita at Seido
[20:54] Mi
    We only have three more
    scrimmages in the summer.
[20:58] Mi
    We need something.
[21:00] Mi
    Something that'll ignite the team.
[21:04] Ot
    What?
[21:06] Ot
    You accepted the offer?
[21:08] Ka
    Yes.
[21:09] Ot
    Why?
[21:10] Ot
    It was a sudden request from them.
[21:12] Ot
    You could've declined!
[21:14] Ot
    Especially since we could be
    playing against them in the fall!
[21:19] Oc
    I see no problem with the game.
[21:21] Oc
    I'm sure the players would rather
    play a game than do boring practice.
[21:26] Ot
    But...
[21:27] Ot
    Our team still isn't complete.
[21:29] Ot
    The word is that they've been going around
    defeating strong teams, one after another.
[21:36] Ot
    I-If our pitchers end up getting destroyed...
[21:39] Oc
    Why are you so worried?
[21:42] Ka
    What every team wants more than a win
    right now is experience.
[21:46] Ka
    If we may end up fighting
    them in a tournament,
[21:49] Ka
    all the more reason to play them.
[21:51] Ot
    But...
[21:56] Ka
    There's no better opponent...
SIGN    Yakushi
[22:01] Ka
    ...to see where they're at right now.
[23:36] Mi
    A scrimmage with Yakushi?
[23:37] Mi
    This could be the
     kick in the rear we needed.
[23:41] Sa
    If we win today,
    it'll be twenty wins in a row!
[23:43] Sa
    Yeah.
[23:43] Sa
    Furuya, how many consecutive wins are we at?
[23:46] Fu
    I forget.
[23:46] Sa
    This is so frustrating!
[23:49] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    The Kick.
[23:51] Ra
    Furuya, Sawamura, Kawakami,
     and... Tanba.
SIGN    The Kick
[23:55] Ra
    I'll destroy you all with my bat!
[23:57] YC
    Tanba's already gone.
