[00:00] Sawamura
    It may be a waste of time for you
    to practice with someone like me.
[00:06] Sawamura
    But I have an impossible request.
[00:12] Sawamura
    Please...
[00:13] Sawamura
    Please...
[00:15] Sawamura
    Please teach me baseball.
[00:23] Animal
    Who is this crazy boy?
[00:26] Animal
    Is he someone from your high school team?
[00:28] Animal
    Yu, I've told you to stop going to practice.
[00:31] Animal
    If you break your shoulder again,
    you'll never be able to play again.
[00:35] Animal
    Hey, boy! Don't come near my son.
[00:38] Animal
    If you want to learn baseball, read this first.
SIGN    This is how
    I succeeded in Japan!!
[00:42] Animal
    It's written by Jorge Animal,
    a former major leaguer.
[00:47] Sawamura
    Who needs this crap!?
[00:49] Animal
    No!
[00:51] Sawamura
    I'm speaking with Chris-senpai!
[00:54] Animal
    Do you not know who Animal is?
[00:57] Sawamura
    Not even a bit!
SIGN    With Chagrin In His Heart
[02:38] Chris
    What's this for?
SIGN    Masuko Spirits
[02:41] Sawamura
    Well, sir...
[02:43] Sawamura
    I thought you'd need to eat a lot to heal?
[02:47] Chris
    Don't do anything unnecessary.
[02:48] Chris
    It's gross.
[02:49] Sawamura
    Gross?
[02:51] Chris
    Though I'll still eat it.
[02:52] Sawamura
    You will?
[02:56] Sawamura
    Good morning, sir.
[02:58] Sawamura
    It's an honor to—
[03:05] Sawamura
    Shall I wash your back?
[03:11] Sawamura
    Do you have enough paper?
[03:14] Sawamura
    Good day, Chris-senpai!
[03:17] Student1
    Is he Chris-kun's follower?
[03:18] Student2
    This is the third-years' floor.
[03:23] Sawamura
    I'd like to get a third scroll soon.
[03:26] Chris
    They're quite dirty.
[03:29] Chris
    Did you throw them, by any chance?
[03:32] Sawamura
    That's impossible.
[03:34] Chris
    Twice a week.
[03:37] Chris
    You still don't know how
    to use your body well.
[03:41] Chris
    You should do those menus
    interchangeably twice a week.
[03:46] Sawamura
    Twice.
[03:47] Chris
    Overworking yourself is ineffective.
[03:50] Chris
    Practice isn't about aimlessly working hard.
[03:54] Chris
    Learn to rest.
[03:58] Sawamura
    Yes, sir!
[03:59] Chris
    Also...
[04:00] Chris
    Don't follow me around anymore.
[04:02] Chris
    You're a pest.
[04:03] Sawamura
    A pest?
[04:05] Sawamura
    I know I deserve this,
    but he's a tough one to crack.
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[04:11] Masuko
    I'll hide them somewhere,
    so no one will eat them.
[04:17] Masuko
    What's up?
[04:23] Kuramochi
    Hey, what happened?
[04:25] Kuramochi
    Did your girlfriend back home dump you?
[04:27] Masuko
    What are you doing sitting
    in a desk, Sawamura-chan?
[04:31] Sawamura
    It's finally come to me.
[04:33] Sawamura
    I can't get better just
    because I like the sport.

[04:36] Sawamura
    I have to learn way more about baseball.
SIGN    Strike Zone
[04:41] Kuramochi
    A little late?
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[04:44] Sawamura
    Did you know?
[04:45] Sawamura
    The Japanese word for "shortstop"
    was named by Shiki Masaoka.
[04:49] Sawamura
    But who exactly is Shiki Masaoka?
[04:51] Kuramochi
    What are you studying?
[05:01] Other1
    So he's Satoru Furuya.
[05:04] Other2
    His fastball really looks scary up close.
[05:08] Other3
    Tanba's looking better, too.
[05:10] Other3
    His sidearms are looking really good.
[05:14] Other2
    They've got some strong pitchers.
[05:16] Other1
    Guess it wasn't a fluke that they
    fought well against Yokohama Academy.
[05:20] Other3
    Seido is going to be
    a tough team this year.
[05:24] Miyuki
    We're done for today.
[05:27] Furuya
    A little more?
[05:29] Miyuki
    Nope.
[05:30] Miyuki
    You don't have cardio, so go run.
[05:35] Miyuki
    Thanks for ignoring me!
[05:44] Kanemaru
    What's he doing by himself?
[05:47] Kanemaru
    Did he finally get
    kicked out of practice?
[05:49] Hosoyamada
    Apparently, he asked if he could watch.
[05:53] Kanemaru
    What's up with that?
[05:54] Kanemaru
    Is he quitting?
[06:02] Ono
    Ball to second!
[06:07] Maezono
    Hey, you said that too late!
[06:10] Maezono
    The pitcher can't see the runner,
    so you gotta be his eyes!
[06:14] Ono
    S-Sorry.
[06:16] Maezono
    And, shortstop, your coverage was late!
[06:19] Nakata
    I know!
[06:21] Sawamura
    They're so amazing.
[06:24] Sawamura
    They all move together
    to make one single play.
[06:31] Sawamura
    So this is...
[06:32] Sawamura
    the play to defend the team.
[06:38] Rei
    I wonder if getting yelled
    at by Miyuki-kun got to him.
[06:42] Rei
    He's finally realized what he's
    missing and is trying to learn.
[06:47] Rei
    Now, he just needs to
    communicate with the catcher.
SIGN    National Training Center
[06:51] Animal
    Damn!
[06:53] Animal
    Don't be influenced by that twerp.
[06:56] Animal
    Forget about high school baseball and
    just build your body in time for graduation.
[07:00] Animal
    You have a long baseball career ahead.
[07:18] Miyuki
    Good evening, sir.
[07:20] Miyuki
    Just coming back?
[07:23] Miyuki
    I hear Sawamura's been
    following you around every day.
[07:26] Chris
    Yeah, and I'm quite tired of it.
[07:31] Miyuki
    But he's really trying to learn
    baseball despite how dumb he is.
[07:36] Miyuki
    He was carefully observing
    people's plays today.
[07:39] Miyuki
    How do you see him, Chris-senpai?
[07:43] Miyuki
    He's a gem in the rough,
    and he throws moving fastballs.
[07:46] Miyuki
    From the catcher's point of view,
[07:48] Miyuki
    I don't think there's any pitcher
    as difficult but attractive.
[07:52] Miyuki
    Drawing out his true potential
    is really up to us catchers.
[07:59] Chris
    True, I acknowledge his talent.
[08:02] Chris
    But I'm not mature enough
    to be able to help him grow.
[08:08] Chris
    Tanba and Furuya...
[08:10] Chris
    How you lead those two pitchers...
[08:13] Chris
    That's what will determine
    the team's performance this year.
[08:19] Chris
    Good luck, first-string catcher.
[08:25] Miyuki
    Chris-senpai...
[08:31] (Flashback) Sawamura
    Why did you let a stupid first-year like me
     mouth off to you and not say anything?
[08:35] (Flashback) Animal
    Forget about high school baseball and
    just build your body in time for graduation.
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[08:46] Sawamura
    Good morning, Chris-senpai!
[08:48] Sawamura
    What another lovely day today!
[08:53] Sawamura
    What do you say?
[08:54] Sawamura
    Let's play some catch before breakfast!
[08:59] Sawamura
    It feels great to wake up early.
[09:01] Sawamura
    And I'd really like to throw.
[09:04] Chris
    You're so noisy, so early.
[09:06] Chris
    I'll play catch with you
    for a bit, so go warm up.
[09:09] Sawamura
    I know. You're busy, right?
[09:12] Sawamura
    Huh?
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Field
[09:19] Sawamura
    How long should I be warming up?
[09:22] Sawamura
    I'm going to burn up before I even throw!
[09:26] Chris
    If you have a problem, then I'm leaving.
[09:29] Chris
    Don't think you'll always be in
    top-notch condition when you throw.
[09:33] Sawamura
    I can't hear anything you say.
[09:36] Chris
    Okay, do 20 sprints, then stretch.
[09:41] Sawamura
    But everyone's already eating breakfast!
[09:45] Sawamura
    Fine, I'll do it! I will!
[09:53] Sawamura
    I'm done.
[09:54] Chris
    Okay, let's throw.
[09:58] Chris
    Bottom of the ninth,
    two outs and bases loaded.
[10:00] Chris
    A full count.
[10:01] Chris
    A hit will cost us the game.
[10:04] Chris
    What would you throw?
[10:06] Sawamura
    I'd throw my best pitch right
    down the middle. No question!
[10:11] Sawamura
    In fact, that's all I can do.
[10:14] Chris
    That one pitch determines
    whether the team wins or loses.
[10:18] Chris
    That's what you'd throw, knowing that?
[10:28] Chris
    Okay, then throw.
[10:32] Sawamura
    You don't need protectors?
[10:34] Chris
    Relax.
[10:36] Chris
    I'm not asking you to throw
    to where the mitt is.
[10:40] Sawamura
    A full count at the bottom of the ninth,
    two outs and bases loaded.
[10:43] Sawamura
    In that situation, the only thing I can do
[10:47] Sawamura
    is to believe in my fielders
[10:48] Sawamura
    and throw as hard as I can!
[10:54] Sawamura
    That was a nice sound.
[10:57] Chris
    That was a home run.
[11:00] Sawamura
    Why?
[11:01] Sawamura
    That was a nice throw!
[11:03] Chris
    The batter was Matsui.
[11:05] Sawamura
    That's not fair!
[11:07] Chris
    Why did you throw without
    asking about the batter?
[11:12] Chris
    Did you already forget the home run
    Masuko got off you?
[11:17] Chris
    You don't have fastballs like Furuya
    or breaking balls like Tanba.
[11:24] Chris
    What are your distinctive qualities?
[11:28] Sawamura
    I don't know.
[11:31] Sawamura
    What are they?
[11:34] Chris
    That's for you to figure out.
[11:41] ---
    My distinctive qualities...
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[11:46] Kuramochi
    Your distinctive qualities?
[11:48] Kuramochi
    Your stupidity, of course.
[11:51] Masuko
    You lack the common sense
    not to eat other people's pudding.
[11:56] Sawamura
    I see... So I have no common
    sense, and I'm stupid.
[11:58] Kuramochi
    Also, you suck at video games,
    and your wrestling moves don't work.
[12:01] Masuko
    You don't know baseball.
[12:02] Kuramochi
    You won't tell me Wakana-chan's email.
[12:05] Sawamura
    Wakana's email...
[12:07] Sawamura
    Wait! That's irrelevant!
[12:09] Kuramochi
    Cross chop!
[12:11] Kuramochi
    You lose your cool too easily
    and forget to speak with respect!
[12:18] Haruichi
    Your distinctive qualities?
[12:22] Haruichi
    It's fun to field for you, I guess.
[12:24] Haruichi
    You send a lot of balls flying.
[12:26] Haruichi
    Also, there weren't any
     foul balls last time, right?
[12:30] Haruichi
    That's a pretty good feat.
[12:33] Haruichi
    It doesn't mess up the fielders' rhythm.
[12:36] Sawamura
    Foul balls?
[12:37] Sawamura
    Rhythm?
[12:39] Sawamura
    Wait a minute.
[12:40] Sawamura
    Is that why he...
[12:42] (Flashback) Chris
    This is where my... mitt is.
[12:46] Haruichi
    By the way, did you hear the word
     about the first-string team?
[12:49] Haruichi
    As of now, there are eighteen
    players on the first-string.
SIGN    Super Baseball Theory: The Logic of Batting
[12:52] Haruichi
    And those eighteen players are all fighting
    for the spots on the active roster,
[12:56] Haruichi
    but twenty players can be registered
    for the summer Tokyo District tournament.
[12:59] Haruichi
    Basically, two second-string players
    will be moved up by the summer.
[13:04] Sawamura
    You serious?
[13:06] Haruichi
    So the scrimmages will be good
    opportunites to show off.
[13:11] Sawamura
    Two players?
[13:12] Haruichi
    Yep, two players.
[13:14] Sawamura
    So we're moving up to the first-string!
[13:16] Haruichi
    No, nothing's final yet...
[13:20] Sawamura
    All right! Let's do this!
[13:23] Furuya
    I want to eat a crab omelet.
SIGN    Seido High School Practice Field
[13:36] Crowd1
    There it goes!
[13:37] Crowd1
    Three consecutive doubles!
[13:39] Crowd2
    The third-years are on fire!
[13:41] Crowd1
    Looks like they've gotten better
    since the Kanto tournament.
SIGN    Teito Seido
SIGN    Field B
[13:48] Koma1
    They're sending the first-string to Teito,
    but the second-string to us?
[13:51] Koma2
    Way to make a fool out of us.
[13:54] Koma1
    That pitcher is also a first-year.
[13:56] Koma2
    You serious?
[13:57] Koma2
    They're blatantly looking down on us!
[13:59] Ono
    What?
[14:00] Ono
    You'll throw as I tell you to?
[14:02] Sawamura
    Yes, sir.
[14:03] Sawamura
    I'll throw wherever you want me to.
[14:05] Ono
    Okay.
[14:08] Sawamura
    I can't throw amazing
    fastballs or breaking balls.
[14:10] Sawamura
    So in order to get to the
    top of the pyramid...
[14:13] Sawamura
    I can only rely on my good control.
[14:20] Sawamrua
    In this game, I'll step up
    to a whole new level.
[14:30] Ono
    Throw where my mitt is? Yeah, right!
[14:33] Ono
    That was an easy pitch down the middle!
[14:36] Sawamura
    Why?
[14:36] Koma
    Yeah! He sucks!
[14:39] Rei
    Where is the power in your pitch?
[14:50] Crowd1
    He threw in the trials the other day, right?
[14:53] Crowd2
    He looks smaller today.
[14:55] Crowd2
    Also, he's taking too many hits.
[14:57] Crowd1
    He's really doing badly today.
[15:00] Sawamura
    What the hell?
[15:03] Sawamura
    So long as I throw to where the
    mitt is, I shouldn't get hit!
[15:08] Sawamura
    Aim for the mitt.
[15:11] Koma1
    A perfect pitch!
[15:14] Koma2
    It's going!
[15:15] Koma3
    Run! Run!
[15:17] Koma3
    Seido's not as good as we thought!
[15:19] Koma2
    They've got a crappy
    pitcher on the mound!
[15:21] Koma2
    Don't take us lightly just
    because we're a public school!
[15:24] Rei
    What an outcome...
[15:26] Rei
    He's completely lost himself.
[15:30] Ono
    Time out, please.
[15:32] Umpire
    Time out!
[15:35] Maezono
    What's with that lazy pitching today?
[15:39] Sawamura
    Maezono-senpai...
[15:41] Sawamura
    But I'm just throwing to where
    the catcher's holding his mitt.
[15:44] Maezono
    You think those slow balls won't get hit?
[15:47] Maezono
    Hurry up and take this uniform off!
[15:50] Maezono
    You're not the only pitcher on our team!
[15:52] Ono
    That's enough, Zono.
[15:54] Nakata
    By wearing this uniform, we bear the
    pride and the glories of our past players.
[15:59] Nakata
    Just because we're the second-string
    doesn't mean we can have a pathetic game.
[16:03] Haruichi
    Nakata-senpai is right.
[16:05] Sawamura
    Harucchi.
[16:07] Haruichi
    I don't like fielding behind you today.
[16:11] Haruichi
    I think you should cool
    your head in the dugout.
[16:13] Sawamura
    Wait a minute!
[16:15] Sawamura
    I'm thinking the best I can,
    and seriously—
[16:17] Rei
    Sawamura-kun.
[16:20] Rei
    Pitcher change.
[16:22] Rei
    Get off the mound, right now.
SIGN    Koma Sei
[16:33] Chris
    You focused too much on control,
    and your pitches had no power.
[16:38] Chris
    Your fastballs maxed out at 130 km/h.
[16:43] Chris
    It's no surprise you gave up hits.
[16:47] Chris
    Didn't I tell you?
[16:48] Chris
    You're not like Furuya or Tanba.
[16:52] Sawamura
    Then...
[16:53] Sawamura
    what's something I have that they don't?
[16:56] Chris
    Bear the loss you had today in your heart.
[16:59] Chris
    If you do, you can go much higher.
[17:05] Chris
    Good ball control and faster pitches...
[17:08] Chris
    aren't something you
    can achieve overnight.
[17:12] Chris
    But if you can be patient and
    focus on building the foundation,
[17:17] Chris
    you'll slowly but surely
    set yourself apart.
[17:30] Teito1
    Another strikeout?
[17:32] Teito2
    That's a first-year?
[17:34] Teito3
    He's definitely throwing 150 km/h.
[17:37] Crowd1
    Hey, are you guys putting this down?
[17:40] Crowd2
    He only has this fastball.
[17:41] Crowd2
    We can figure something out.
[17:44] Miyuki
    We're getting more scouts by the day.
[17:48] Miyuki
    Guess everyone's hearing
    the news about Furuya.
[17:51] Furuya
    Excuse me.
[17:53] Furuya
    Time out, please.
[17:55] Umpire
    Time out!
[17:57] Ota
    Did something happen?
[18:02] Miyuki
    What's up?
[18:03] Miyuki
    We're not even in a pinch.
[18:08] Miyuki
    Your finger...
[18:09] Miyuki
    He throws by putting his entire
    weight on the tip of his fingers.
[18:15] Miyuki
    Looks like that technique has put
    too much stress on his fingertip.
[18:21] Miyuki
    Never expected a weakness like this.
[18:25] Miyuki
    Go back to the dugout without
    showing that to anyone.
[18:28] Miyuki
    I don't want the scouts from
    other schools to find out.
[18:32] Furuya
    I can still throw—
[18:33] Miyuki
    Just go back.
[18:35] Crowd1
    What's up?
[18:36] Crowd1
    He's getting replaced?
[18:37] Crowd2
    He's only thrown for two innings.
[18:40] Tanba
    Coach.
[18:43] Tanba
    I'm always ready, sir.
[18:50] Ota
    Tanba!
[18:52] Ota
    You threw yesterday!
[18:54] Ota
    You may be warmed up, but...
[18:56] Kataoka
    Okay.
[18:57] Kataoka
    But only for three innings.
[19:00] Tanba
    Sir!
[19:05] Kataoka
    Furuya.
[19:07] Kataoka
    You hurt your nail?
[19:09] Kataoka
    To a pitcher, his fingertips are his life.
[19:11] Kataoka
    It's proof that you're not
    taking good care of them.
[19:14] Kataoka
    Furuya, you're banned from
    throwing for two weeks.
[19:18] Katoka
    You can run in the second-string
    practice field.
[19:20] Ota
    Coach, aren't you being a little too harsh?
[19:24] Kataoka
    A brand new first-year with
    only time on his hands
[19:27] Kataoka
    and a third-year with his last chance.
[19:29] Kataoka
    The amount of effort they put in
    this summer will be incomparable.
[19:36] Kataoka
    Looks like the ace number is too much
    responsibility for a first-year.
[19:40] Miyuki
    Tanba-san is on fire.
[19:43] Miyuki
    So this is what happens
    to a third-year on the edge.
[19:46] Miyuki
    His curve is getting sharper and sharper.
[19:49] Isashiki
    Hey!
[19:50] Isashiki
    I'm getting bored out here!
[19:52] Kuramochi
    You seem to be in real good position.
[19:55] Ryosuke
    You're finally acting like the ace.
[19:58] Ryosuke
    A little late, though.
[20:03] Umpire
    Strike!
[20:04] Umpire
    Batter out!
[20:21] (Flashback) Chris
    But if you can be patient and
    focus on building the foundation,
[20:26] (Flashback) Chris
    you'll slowly but surely
    set yourself apart.
[20:31] Sawamura
    He didn't tell me what my qualities were.
[20:36] Furuya
    I heard you got quite a beating.
[20:40] Sawamura
    Furuya!
[20:42] Furuya
    The moon is pretty tonight.
[20:44] Sawamura
    You can't see the moon!
[20:46] Sawamura
    It's cloudy right now!
[20:48] Furuya
    Oh... You're right.
[20:54] Sawamura
    What is he here to do?
[20:56] Furuya
    It really sucks.
[20:59] Furuya
    I didn't think walking off
    the mound before burning out
[21:02] Furuya
    would leave such a bad taste.
[21:07] Furuya
    The fielders and the catcher
    on this team are so reliable.
[21:12] Furuya
    A pitcher's really lucky to be
    able to stand on that mound.
[21:19] Sawamura
    Yeah.
[21:21] Furuya
    Yeah, it's great to be on the first-string.
[21:24] Sawamura
    Damn it!
[21:24] Sawamura
    Are you here to brag?
[21:26] Furuya
    If you're not going to use
    that tire, can I use it?
[21:29] Sawamura
    No, this is my partner!
[21:31] Sawamura
    I won't let anyone else use it!
[21:33] Furuya
    Oh, there's a bigger one over there.
[21:35] Sawamura
    What?
[21:37] Isashiki
    Hey, someone's on the field.
[21:39] Ryosuke
    I wonder what they're doing,
    without even turning the lights on.
[21:42] Isashiki
    Just six weeks until the summer tournament.
[21:45] Isashiki
    Looking forward to finding out which
    two are coming up to the first-string?
[21:49] Yuki
    Yeah.
[21:51] Sawamura
    I'm gonna make the first-string, too!
[21:54] Furuya
    You're slow.
[21:55] Sawamura
    Don't leave me behind, Furuya!
[21:57] Sawamura
    Damn it!
[23:35] Sawamura
    What exactly do I need to do?
[23:38] Sawamura
    How do I become a pitcher
    Chris-senpai will acknowledge?
[23:41] Kataoka
    Don't rush, Sawamura.
[23:43] Kataoka
    Just listen to Chris and
    hone your own qualities,
[23:46] Kataoka
    and you'll find a way.
[23:48] Sawamura
    Coach...
[23:50] Sawamura
    But I...
[23:52] Sawamura
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
    Hone Your Moving Fastball.
SIGN    Hone Your Moving Fastball.
[23:56] Sawamura
    Let's win the national title!
