[00:09] (Flashback) Sa
    A-As a relief pitcher?
[00:44] Fu
    Only this place matters.
[00:53] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[00:56] Fu
    It's my place.
[01:00] Fu
    And only mine.
SIGN    Can't Lose!
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[02:45] Um
    Out!
[02:46] C1
    A 4-6-3 double play to close the inning!
[02:49] C2
    From no outs with runners
    on first and second,
[02:52] C2
    he closed it right before
     their third-hole.
[02:56] Ra
    Wow!
[02:57] Ra
    Wow!
[03:00] S1
    Nice pitch!
[03:01] C1
    Furuya kept Yakushi down again!
[03:05] C2
    Two hits and two walks
    in six innings with no runs.
[03:10] C3
    Seido's finally getting a real ace.
[03:21] C4
    No! No!
[03:22] C4
    Too soon to say that.
[03:24] C5
    He's already exhausted.
[03:26] Ka
    Kanemaru, we'll send Sawamura in next inning.
[03:31] Ka
    Yes, sir.
[03:32] Ka
    I'll let him know.
[03:35] Ka
    You've shown me your
    determination as a pitcher.
[03:39] Ka
    I've got high hopes for you in the fall.
[03:45] Fu
    Then can I pitch three more—
[03:47] Ka
    Go into left field.
[03:51] S1
    Let's go, Tojo!
[03:53] S1
    Get on base!
[04:03] To
    Wait.
[04:04] To
    Has he always...
[04:06] To
    ...looked so scary?
[04:14] To
    Did he just throw to hit me?
[04:20] Um
    Out!
[04:22] Y1
    All right!
[04:23] Y1
    One out!
[04:24] Y2
    One out! One out!
[04:26] Y2
    Nice pitch, Sanada!
[04:28] Ra
    Sanada-senpai, nice pitch!
[04:31] YC
    Raichi, don't give him problems
    with your bad fielding!
[04:35] Ha
    Does the Yakushi team look more lively
[04:38] Ha
    now that he's pitching?
[04:42] M1
    Yeah.
[04:52] Um
    Foul!
[04:54] Ku
    A cutter?
[04:57] Ku
    It breaks way more now, too.
[05:01] Mi
    Shootballs to the righties
    and cutters to the lefties.
[05:08] Mi
    He's as aggressive as ever,
    focusing on pitching inside.
[05:16] Mi
    You're up against the third-hole next inning.
[05:20] Mi
    You'd better be just as aggressive as him.
[05:24] Mi
    They don't know that you can throw a cutter.
[05:28] Mi
    Let's show them how much you've grown.
[05:39] Um
    Out!
[05:41] Y1
    And that's two!
[05:43] Y2
    Two outs!
[05:44] Y2
    Sanada, nice pitch!
[05:47] Ra
    Sanada Ball Mark 2!
[05:50] Mi
    Everyone's so energetic from just two outs.
[05:54] Y1
    Two outs! Two outs!
[05:57] Ra
    One! Two!
[05:58] YC
    Raichi, did you hear me?
[06:01] Mi
    This is what makes an ace.
[06:14] (Flashback) Ka
    Assessing the situation and warming up
[06:17] (Flashback) Ka
    are important jobs for a relief pitcher.
[06:20] Sa
    No runs conceded in six innings.
[06:25] Sa
    A job as a relief pitcher?
[06:27] Sa
    Give me a break!
[06:29] Sa
    Stop thinking you're better!
[06:33] Sa
    I'm going to be the ace!
[06:38] Um
    Out!
[06:41] Um
    Three outs! Change!
[06:43] YC
    Very nice!
[06:44] YC
    That's what I wanted.
[06:47] Ra
    Man, you're great!
[06:48] Y1
    Senpai, I have no words.
[06:50] C1
    Their ace is good.
[06:52] C2
    He went three for three
    against our top batters.
[06:56] YC
    So...
[06:57] YC
    ...how many runs are you
    gonna get in the next three innings?
[07:01] YC
    Well?
[07:03] YC
    If you guys don't score,
[07:06] YC
    I'm not gonna coach you guys anymore.
[07:09] YC
    I'm gonna throw a fit, and I'm gonna leave!
[07:12] Mi
    Let's go.
[07:17] Sa
    I'll make him acknowledge me.
[07:28] Sa
    For sure!
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
[07:32] C1
    So they're switching pitchers
    at the bottom of the seventh.
[07:36] C1
    I wanted to see Furuya
    pitch three more innings.
[07:40] C2
    Well, I'm fine with this.
[07:42] C2
    I like Sawamura's head-on style of pitching.
[07:46] C2
    He's fearless and reckless.
[07:49] C1
    Yeah, he's an important southpaw on the team.
[07:52] C1
    He couldn't close out the game in the final,
[07:54] C1
    but he still pitched really well.
[08:09] (Flashback) Sa
    Coach!
[08:10] (Flashback) Sa
    I've been ready to go!
[08:13] (Flashback) Sa
    Can I go out this inning?
[08:18] Oc
    So we have another zealous pitcher.
[08:22] Oc
    We're two runs up with three innings left.
[08:25] Oc
    Since Kataoka-san's using him here,
[08:28] Oc
    he must have high hopes for him.
[08:33] YC
    That moving-fastball southpaw's up?
[08:36] YC
    Thanks to you guys dilly-dallying,
[08:38] YC
    the fastball pitcher ran away!
[08:41] YC
    You've gotta be kidding me.
[08:44] Fu
    I didn't run away.
[08:46] Y1
    He's pretty hard to hit, right?
[08:49] Y2
    Yeah.
[08:50] Y2
    Less speed but more break.
[08:52] Ra
    Not enough.
[08:54] Ra
    I haven't hit enough!
[08:57] Ra
    I want to hit Sawamura's pitch,
[09:00] Ra
    but I want to hit Furuya's pitch a lot, too!
[09:04] Ra
    Okay!
[09:05] Ra
    Let's have five more games!
[09:06] Y1
    Gross!
[09:07] Y2
    That's impossible!
[09:10] Ha
    Eijun-kun.
[09:12] Ha
    One at a time.
[09:13] Ha
    Let's go one at a time, like always.
[09:18] Ma
    Sawamura, pitch to contact!
[09:20] Ku
    Sawamura, third-hole is next!
[09:22] Ku
    Focus on the first pitch, Sawamura!
[09:26] Ha
    Is he not gonna do his usual thing?
[09:29] (Flashback) Sa
    Balls will go flying, so let's get busy!
[09:32] (Flashback) Sa
    Thank you!
[09:34] Ha
    That's a bummer.
[09:38] Ka
    Is he okay?
[09:40] Ka
    He was pitching a lot in the pen.
[09:44] Y1
    Swing for the first pitch!
[09:47] Mi
    We're up against Yakushi.
[09:50] Mi
    And I can't blame him for being
    fired up after seeing Furuya like that.
[09:55] Mi
    But...
[09:56] Mi
    ...he might be a little too tense.
[10:00] Um
    Play!
[10:14] Mi
    The higher the expectations,
[10:16] Mi
    the greater the pressure.
[10:19] Mi
    But standing on the mound above all else...
[10:22] Mi
    ...makes a pitcher.
[10:25] Mi
    You want to be the ace, too, right?
[10:31] Mi
    Then you'd better stick to your style.
[10:36] Mi
    Let's get aggressive! To the inside!
[10:39] Y1
    Gotta swing clean.
[10:41] Y1
    His pitch isn't very heavy.
[10:51] Ka
    Y-You're way too tense!
[10:54] Ka
    Relax your face!
[10:56] S1
    Pitch to contact, Sawamura!
[10:57] Ka
    Relax, man!
[11:00] Mi
    Your shoulder's way too stiff!
[11:03] Sa
    Damn.
[11:04] Sa
    Calm down.
[11:06] Y1
    Damn.
[11:07] Y1
    I can't see his throwing arm.
[11:10] Ha
    We'll catch the hits!
[11:16] Um
    Ball two!
[11:17] Y1
    He can't throw strikes!
[11:19] YC
    Focus on a strike, Akiba!
[11:21] Ka
    Sawamura! One at a time!
[11:24] Mi
    Can't do anything if he can't throw a strike.
[11:28] Mi
    Should I ask for an outside pitch
    and grab a strike?
[11:32] Mi
    No.
[11:33] Mi
    He's a third-hole at Yakushi.
[11:36] Mi
    It won't be that easy to get a strike.
[11:40] Mi
    You have to be aggressive!
[11:45] Sa
    Walking the first batter is really bad.
[11:49] Sa
    Pitching a meatball is really bad.
[11:52] Sa
    But feeling weak is the worst of all!
[11:56] Mi
    In the middle?
[12:01] Y1
    Nice! Right to center!
[12:07] Y2
    What a surprise.
[12:09] Y2
    It was so easy, I only got a single.
[12:13] Oc
    He cornered himself against the batter,
    then gave away an easy hit.
[12:18] Oc
    Not something you want your pitcher to do.
[12:24] Sa
    Damn it!
[12:25] Ku
    Switch gears!
[12:27] Mi
    I can feel his aggression from here,
[12:30] Mi
    but he threw a meatball again?
[12:34] Sa
    Shut up over there!
[12:36] YC
    And you're up!
[12:38] YC
    Launch a big one!
[12:41] YC
    A big explosion!
[12:42] YC
    Make it go bang!
[12:47] Y1
    Smack it!
[12:49] Y2
    Raichi!
[13:27] Y1
    He's so persistent.
[13:29] Y1
    No need to look so mean.
[13:31] Y1
    I won't run.
[13:33] Y1
    Don't need to.
[13:48] C1
    A ball to the outside.
[13:51] C1
    You don't usually see
    Sawamura starting outside.
[13:54] C1
    Are they running away from the fight?
[13:56] C2
    They're probably being careful,
    since this batter's a monster.
[14:02] Mi
    Okay.
[14:03] Mi
    His pitch has power.
[14:06] Mi
    His control isn't that bad.
[14:10] Mi
    Now can we get it to the inside?
[14:14] Mi
    Torodoki doesn't know
    about this pitch.
[14:18] Mi
    Give me a cutter to his chest!
[14:28] Mi
    If you can't throw it now,
[14:30] Mi
    you won't get him out.
[14:38] (Flashback) Mi
    I know you've never been good at control,
[14:41] (Flashback) Mi
    so I won't ask for too much,
[14:43] (Flashback) Mi
    but you've had way too many
     wide pitches lately.
[14:47] (Flashback) Mi
    Against Yakushi, it won't be that easy.
[14:52] Sa
    Damn.
[14:53] Sa
    Shut up.
[14:55] Sa
    Stop beating so loud.
[15:03] Sa
    Fight or run...
[15:08] Sa
    That's obvious.
[15:19] Sa
    The ace never runs!
[15:52] Y1
    Yeah!
[15:54] Y1
    Tied the game!
[15:55] Y2
    What a clean home run!
[16:01] YC
    Thank you! Thank you!
[16:04] Sa
    Raichi, don't forget to step on the base!
[16:08] Y1
    What the hell?
[16:09] Y1
    What do you eat to hit so far?
[16:11] Y1
    Is it the banana?
    Is that the secret?
[16:13] Y1
    Nice hit. Damn it!
[16:16] Mi
    Time out, please.
[16:18] Um
    Time out!
[16:20] Oc
    That was a bad pitch all around.
[16:23] Oc
    How careless of him.
[16:26] YC
    Come here, my son!
[16:28] Ra
    I thought he'd pitch more inside,
[16:32] Ra
    but it never came.
[16:43] Ha
    Another one off Todoroki-kun.
[16:44] Ku
    Maybe he's his Achilles heel.
[16:47] Mi
    Wow! What a hit!
[16:50] Mi
    Gotta say, that home run felt good,
    even though it was theirs.
[16:54] Mi
    Feels good to have the bases open, too.
[16:59] Mi
    Wait! Is that just me?
[17:02] Sa
    Yes, it's just you!
[17:03] Ku
    Well, it was a nice home run.
[17:06] Sa
    What?
[17:07] Ha
    The batter's really good.
[17:09] Ma
    Okay.
[17:10] Ma
    Switch gears and focus on the next batter.
[17:12] Ma
    You've got this.
[17:14] Ma
    Do you have this?
[17:15] Sa
    Yes, sir.
[17:17] Sa
    I guess.
[17:18] Ku
    Let's give some hits!
[17:21] Sa
    Give some hits?
[17:23] Mi
    The next one's a rightie.
[17:24] Mi
    Let's be aggressive.
[17:26] Sa
    Yes, sir! Of course I will!
[17:28] Sa
    That's all I can do, anyway!
[17:31] Mi
    True.
[17:31] Sa
    Don't agree with me!
[17:34] Sa
    No outs!
[17:35] Sa
    Still no outs!
[17:37] Ha
    Is that necessary?
[17:50] Y1
    All right!
[17:51] Y1
    Yeah!
[17:52] Y2
    Nice power.
[17:53] Y1
    A hit is a hit!
[17:55] C1
    Three hits in a row?
[17:57] C2
    At least he jammed him.
[17:59] C1
    We could use an out now.
[18:02] Ha
    Let's get an out!
[18:05] Y1
    Sanada!
[18:07] Y1
    Let's shut him down!
[18:09] Sa
    I won't go easy on you.
[18:11] Sa
    We've gotta get score when we can.
[18:18] Sa
    There's only one thing I can do.
[18:22] Sa
    I just pitch into that mitt.
[18:30] Sa
    Into that mitt!
[18:34] Oc
    He's not pitching to the mitt at all.
[18:38] Oc
    How's the catcher supposed to do anything?
[18:47] Oc
    He looked mentally strong,
    so I had my hopes up, but...
[18:51] Oc
    It looks like he's afraid of throwing inside.
[18:59] Sa
    A crossfire pitch...
[19:02] Sa
    ...into his chest.
[19:05] Sa
    Take this!
[19:13] Y1
    And right between right and center!
[19:15] Y2
    Four consecutive hits!
[19:17] Ra
    Nice hit, Sanada-senpai!
[19:24] Mi
    It's not just to the lefties.
[19:27] Mi
    He hasn't thrown a single
    inside pitch to the righties.
[19:38] Mi
    Sawamura, don't tell me you...
[19:43] Oc
    A southpaw with a unique form.
[19:46] Oc
    A first-year like Furuya.
[19:49] Oc
    I can see why Kataoka-san
    has high hopes for him,
[19:54] Oc
    but if he can't throw inside pitches,
[19:56] Oc
    he can't ever be the ace.
[20:04] Um
    Ball!
[20:14] Um
    Ball four!
[20:16] Ka
    Bases loaded.
[20:18] Ka
    He hasn't gotten a single out yet.
[20:35] YC
    Hey, you've gotta be kidding me.
[20:38] YC
    There's no fun in seeing
    a pitcher crumble on his own.
[20:42] YC
    We want to destroy him with our bats.
[20:45] Mi
    Sawamura, don't worry about control.
[20:48] Mi
    Your pitch still has power.
[20:59] Mi
    Don't worry.
[21:01] Mi
    We're here.
[21:04] Ma
    Sawamura!
[21:05] Ma
    Have some faith in us!
[21:07] Ha
    Let's relax!
[21:09] Ku
    Let's get the out at the plate!
[21:10] Ka
    Look around you, Sawamura!
[21:12] Ka
    You're not alone!
[21:14] S1
    Be aggressive!
[21:15] Ku
    One at a time!
[21:16] To
    Focus on the batter!
[21:21] Sa
    I can't...
[21:23] Sa
    I can't let it end like this.
[21:27] Sa
    I haven't done...
[21:30] Sa
    I haven't done a single thing yet.
[21:45] Mi
    Are you serious?
[21:48] Ku
    Sawamura, cover!
[21:57] Ku
    Sawamura!
[23:36] Mi
    His pitch has power,
[23:37] Mi
    and he has the will to fight, but...
[23:39] Sa
    I can't get a single out,
    and I want to start?
[23:42] Sa
    What kind of ace is that?
[23:43] Oc
    Does this pitcher have...
[23:45] Oc
    If that's the case,
    then he'll be useless for the fall.
[23:49] Sa
    What am I doing, with fall
    right around the corner?
[23:53] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Next Stage.
[23:56] Sa
    I'm so useless.
