**[00:10] ---**
The rainy season's finally over!\n
**[00:11] ---**
It's starting to get hot.\n
**[00:13] ---**
The season for outdoor activities.\n
**[00:15] ---**
How about we go have fun somewhere outside?\n
**[00:17] ---**
Sure, what do you want to do?\n
**[00:18] ---**
How about fishing?\n
**[00:20] ---**
Sounds good. What's there to catch right now?\n
**[00:23] ---**
Summer is the season for fresh delinquents.\n
**[00:26] ---**
Let's use Nagisa as bait to catch\nthe ones that try to shake him down\n
**[00:28] ---**
--and fleece them instead!\n--Big haul! Big haul!\n
**[00:30] ---**
I never knew delinquents were seasonal.\n
**[00:34] ---**
What should we do?\n
**[00:35] ---**
--What do *you* feel like, Nagisa? --Let's see...
**[00:36] ---**
Oh, how about the beach?\n
**[00:38] ---**
Ooh, the beach...\n
**[00:43] ---**
Nice throw, Captain!\n
**[00:43] ---**
"Kunugi"\nNice throw, Captain!\n
**[00:44] ---**
"Baseball Club Captain, Kunugigaoka Junior High"\n"Kazutaka Shindo"\n
**[00:49] ---**
Hey, Sugino, it's you!\n
**[00:51] ---**
Long time no see.\n
**[00:52] ---**
For real?\n
**[00:52] ---**
--Hey, it's you!\n--Sugino!\n
**[00:54] ---**
--Hello!\n--Hey!\n
**[00:55] ---**
Hey, Sugino!\n
**[00:56] ---**
What gives? You should\ncome say hi once in a while.\n
**[00:59] ---**
Nah, it'd be kind of awkward.\n
**[01:01] ---**
You're pitching in next week's\nball game tournament, right?\n
**[01:03] ---**
Oh, I guess it hasn't been\ndecided yet, but I think I'd like to.\n
**[01:07] ---**
We'll be looking forward to it!\n
**[01:08] ---**
Sure thing!\n
**[01:09] ---**
But man, I envy you, Sugino.\n
**[01:11] ---**
You're E Class, so you get\nto goof off every day.\n
**[01:14] ---**
We've got schoolwork *and* the club, so we're running on fumes.
**[01:18] ---**
Knock it off. That's not nice.\n
**[01:20] ---**
Juggling both schoolwork and\nextracurriculars at a prep school\n
**[01:23] ---**
isn't something you have to do\nunless you're one of the chosen.\n
**[01:26] ---**
Wow, that's incredible.\n
**[01:28] ---**
You make it sound like\nyou're one of the chosen.\n
**[01:31] ---**
That's right, I am.\n
**[01:34] ---**
Don't like it? Then I'll show you\nat the ball game tournament.\n
**[01:39] ---**
There are those chosen to stand\nat the top and those who aren't.\n
**[01:42] ---**
You'll see the huge gap that's already\nopened between us at our age.\n
**[01:48] ---**
*Stand up, bow, lock on! *
**[01:50] ---**
*Stand up, bow, lock on! Oh, yeah *
**[01:56] ---**
*Sensei! Target on *
**[01:59] ---**
*The more the potential, the bigger the hassle *
**[02:04] ---**
*Our dropout mentality goes beyond the extraordinary *
**[02:09] ---**
*We looked like we were nodding off, hidden knives in hand *
**[02:17] ---**
*Stand up, bow, lock on! *
**[02:19] ---**
*Let it go and someone's sure to take care of it *
**[02:25] ---**
*We thought it was someone else's problem... and yet *
**[02:33] ---**
*Mr. Teacher, tell us *
**[02:35] ---**
*Will we, still incomplete *
**[02:38] ---**
*Be able to shoot through *
**[02:41] ---**
*The invincible target that's you? *
**[02:44] ---**
*As long as we keep trying, the odds are 50/50 *
**[02:49] ---**
*Mr. Teacher, look at us *
**[02:51] ---**
*Lost in so many ways *
**[02:54] ---**
*For you more than anyone else *
**[02:57] ---**
*Studying like a house on fire *
**[02:59] ---**
*Our bloodlust alone is our message to you *
**[03:04] ---**
*A self- (let's go) reliant (all out) *
**[03:07] ---**
*Revolution *
**[03:10] ---**
*Oh, yeah! Sensei! Target on *

"Episode 12: Ball Game Tournament Time"\n
**[03:22] ---**
Mm-hm.\n
**[03:24] ---**
A class versus class\nball game tournament, is it?\n
**[03:27] ---**
Cultivating healthy minds and bodies\nthrough sports--most excellent!\n
**[03:31] ---**
However...\n
**[03:32] ---**
"Ball Game Tournament Year 3 Boys' Baseball"\nWhy is E Class not in the tournament bracket?\n
**[03:36] ---**
E Class doesn't get entered\ninto the tournament.\n
**[03:38] ---**
Due to the splendid reason that\nthere'd be an odd number of teams.\n
**[03:41] ---**
Instead, we have to play in\nthe exhibition game at the end.\n
**[03:45] ---**
The exhibition game?\n
**[03:46] ---**
Basically, it's just a spectacle.\n
**[03:49] ---**
As the entire school looks on,\nwe get pitted against the Baseball Club\n
**[03:52] ---**
and the girls the Girls' Basketball Club.\n
**[03:55] ---**
I see, so it's the same old same old.\n
**[03:57] ---**
Yep.\n
**[03:59] ---**
We aren't sticking around to be laughingstocks.\n
**[04:02] ---**
You guys handle it however you want.\n
**[04:04] ---**
See ya.\n
**[04:05] ---**
Hey, wait! Terasaka!\n
**[04:07] ---**
Sheesh!\n
**[04:09] ---**
If it's baseball, the go-to guy'd be Sugino.\n
**[04:12] ---**
Got any secrets we can use to win?\n
**[04:15] ---**
It's impossible.\n
**[04:16] ---**
Our baseball club is pretty strong.\n
**[04:20] ---**
Especially Shindo, our current team captain.\n
**[04:23] ---**
His powerful fastball\n
**[04:24] ---**
has even gotten the attention\nof the prestigious high schools.\n
**[04:27] ---**
A star pupil and a star athlete--\nit's like, unfair.\n
**[04:31] ---**
But you know...\n
**[04:33] ---**
I want to win, Koro Sensei.\n
**[04:36] ---**
Not just put up a good fight. Win.\n
**[04:38] ---**
I don't want to lose at\nthe sport that I love.\n
**[04:41] ---**
After getting kicked out of the\nBaseball Club and coming to E Class,\n
**[04:43] ---**
my feelings have actually only grown stronger.\n
**[04:48] ---**
I want to team up with these guys and win--\n
**[04:50] ---**
So excited! So excited!\n
**[04:52] ---**
R-Right. You want to play baseball, too.\nI hear you loud and clear.\n
**[04:58] ---**
I've always wanted to be the\nfiery coach in a sports drama.\n
**[05:02] ---**
I won't smack you kids around or anything,\nso instead, I'll flip dinner tables.\n
**[05:05] ---**
You're way too prepared!\n
**[05:07] ---**
Lately, you've grown more articulate\nabout the direction you want to go in.\n
**[05:12] ---**
"I want to kill." "I want to win."\n
**[05:14] ---**
Unwavering, no matter the adversity you face.\n
**[05:16] ---**
To reward that spirit,\nCoach Koro will impart upon you\n
**[05:19] ---**
the training and strategy\nthat will allow you to win!\n
**[05:23] ---**
Whoa-oh! It's a high one!\n
**[05:25] ---**
Center fielder catches it with ease!\nThe game is over!\n
**[05:29] ---**
The winner of the Year 3\nBaseball Tournament is A Class!\n
**[05:33] ---**
Aw, man, we lost.\n
**[05:37] ---**
Let's watch the next match\nto put this behind us.\n
**[05:39] ---**
Guys less talented than us\nsuffering an even worse humiliation!\n
**[05:45] ---**
And now, lastly,\n
**[05:47] ---**
we have the exhibition match between\nClass 3-E and the Baseball Club.\n
**[05:53] ---**
Only the elite with both\nscholastic and athletic ability\n
**[05:56] ---**
can stand above others as one of the chosen.\n
**[05:59] ---**
That's what it means to\nexcel at both pen and sword.\n
**[06:02] ---**
You excelled at neither.\nSomeone who wasn't chosen.\n
**[06:07] ---**
Let's play a tight game!\n
**[06:08] ---**
Yeah!\n
**[06:09] ---**
Whoa, hey, why're they so fired up?\n
**[06:12] ---**
Come to think of it, where's Coach Koro?\nI thought he was going to give us directions.\n
**[06:16] ---**
He's over there.\n
**[06:18] ---**
Mr. Karasuma told him not to\ndraw attention to himself,\n
**[06:21] ---**
so he's using forced perspective\nto look like one of the balls.\n
**[06:23] ---**
He said he'll signal us with\nthe color of his face and stuff.\n
**[06:25] ---**
Like that's not going to give him away!\n
**[06:26] ---**
One! Two! Three!\nOne! Two! Three!\n
**[06:32] ---**
What'd he say?\n
**[06:33] ---**
--Hey, there, Teach!\n--Let me see...\n
**[06:35] ---**
He said, "Win like you're going to kill them."\n
**[06:38] ---**
That's true, we're after a much bigger target.\n
**[06:42] ---**
If we can't win against those chumps,\nwe'll never be able to kill our teacher.\n
**[06:46] ---**
All right!\n
**[06:47] ---**
Let's kill it!\n
**[06:48] ---**
Yeah!\n
**[06:51] ---**
Now, let us give them a taste\n
**[06:53] ---**
of baseball from hell, infused with\nmurderous intent and tentacles!\n
**[06:56] ---**
Now, top of the first inning!\n
**[06:58] ---**
E Class is on offense.\nBatter number one, third baseman, Kimura!\n
**[07:02] ---**
Strike!\n
**[07:03] ---**
But man, that super-junior high pitch sure is fast.\n
**[07:06] ---**
I hear he gets up to 140 kilometers per hour.\n
**[07:08] ---**
What?! 140?!\n
**[07:09] ---**
That's right up there with the pros!\n
**[07:11] ---**
Man, it totally feels like\nwe're a visiting team.\n
**[07:15] ---**
One! Two! Three!\n
**[07:18] ---**
Roger that.\n
**[07:19] ---**
All right! Here we go!\n
**[07:21] ---**
Whoa-oh, the batter's plenty fired up!\n
**[07:23] ---**
We'll get the first three batters\nout to end the top of the first\n
**[07:26] ---**
and in the bottom, we'll score\nten runs and get it called.\n
**[07:29] ---**
--You're a nobody.\n--Now, here's Shindo, with his second pitch.\n
**[07:31] ---**
And he throws!\n
**[07:32] ---**
What?!\n
**[07:33] ---**
Whoa! A bunt!\n
**[07:35] ---**
--Kimura is the fastest runner in E Class.\n--That went in a nice direction for him!\n
**[07:37] ---**
Catch them by surprise and he\nshould easily make it to first base.\n
**[07:41] ---**
--He's safe! This is unexpected!\n--Yes!\n
**[07:43] ---**
--E Class, no outs, runner on first!\n--Damn! Sneaky bastard...\n
**[07:45] ---**
Batter number two, Shiota.\n
**[07:48] ---**
One! Two! Three!\n
**[07:51] ---**
Whoa! A push bunt!\n
**[07:52] ---**
Damn it!\n
**[07:54] ---**
They may be a powerhouse,\nbut they're still junior high kids.\n
**[07:56] ---**
They can't handle bunts the way pros can.\n
**[07:58] ---**
Aw! He's got nowhere to throw it!\n
**[08:00] ---**
Unbelievable! No outs!\nRunners on first and second!\n
**[08:02] ---**
Wh-What?!\n
**[08:04] ---**
Hey, this game is starting\nto go in a weird direction.\n
**[08:07] ---**
Impossible!\n
**[08:09] ---**
Getting a fastball like Shindo's\n
**[08:10] ---**
to go where you want it to\nis virtually impossible!\n
**[08:13] ---**
--Hah! How do you like that?\n--Batter number three, shortstop, Isogai.\n
**[08:15] ---**
--*We've* been practicing against *that* thing. --Batter number three, shortstop, Isogai.
**[08:19] ---**
Pitcher Koro throws 300\nkilometers per hour pitches!\n
**[08:22] ---**
Infielder Koro lays down an\nimpregnable defense with clones!\n
**[08:24] ---**
Please, you get it.\n
**[08:25] ---**
--Oh, no, please, you get it.\n--Will you make it in time?\n
**[08:27] ---**
Catcher Koro destroys your\nfocus by whispering trash-talk.\n
**[08:31] ---**
You were so into it secretly playing\nair guitar behind the school, Mimura.\n
**[08:35] ---**
--I can't take any more.\n--Next up, we study our opponents.\n
**[08:38] ---**
I had Takebayashi spy on them\nfor the last three days.\n
**[08:43] ---**
It was a pain.\n
**[08:44] ---**
"1 Kazutaka Shindo" \n
**[08:44] ---**
Shindo's pitches top out at\n140.5 kilometers per hour.\n
**[08:48] ---**
The fastball and the curveball are all he has.\n
**[08:50] ---**
Even during practice matches,\n90 percent of his pitches were fastballs.\n
**[08:53] ---**
With his powerful fastball,\n
**[08:55] ---**
that's all he needs to win\nat the junior high level.\n
**[08:58] ---**
Yes! Put another way,\n
**[09:00] ---**
we've got this in the bag as long\nas we have that fastball down cold.\n
**[09:03] ---**
So! For our practice from here on out,\n
**[09:05] ---**
I'll throw the same pitches Shindo\nthrows with the exact same form\n
**[09:08] ---**
and throw extra slow, just like Shindo does.\n
**[09:13] ---**
After seeing those pitches from me earlier,\n
**[09:16] ---**
his pitches will look like they're not moving.\n
**[09:21] ---**
Whoa! And another bunt!\n
**[09:22] ---**
Therefore, if it's just bunts, it's possible\nto become amply proficient at it.\n
**[09:26] ---**
I-It's a fair ball!\n
**[09:28] ---**
It's come to a dead stop right on the line!\n
**[09:30] ---**
Batter number three, Isogai, is safe!\n
**[09:32] ---**
Th-The bases are loaded!\n
**[09:34] ---**
No outs! Bases loaded!\n
**[09:36] ---**
M-Maybe Shindo's not\nfeeling well or something?\n
**[09:39] ---**
Batter number four, pitcher, Sugino.\n
**[09:41] ---**
Sugino!\n
**[09:43] ---**
One! Two! Three!\n
**[09:48] ---**
Play ball!\n
**[09:49] ---**
Now, the game resumes.\n
**[09:51] ---**
Whoa-oh! There's that bunting stance again!\n
**[09:54] ---**
Wha...\n
**[09:55] ---**
What is this?\n
**[09:57] ---**
What's up with these guys?\n
**[09:59] ---**
Is what I'm playing right now...\n
**[10:02] ---**
...baseball?\n
**[10:04] ---**
It's true--in terms of sheer power,\nI'm no match for you.\n
**[10:07] ---**
But with a well-aimed strike, even the weak\n
**[10:12] ---**
can take on a gigantic power and bring it...\n
**[10:15] ---**
...down!\n
**[10:17] ---**
He hit it!\n
**[10:18] ---**
The ball is going deep\ninto right center field!\n
**[10:20] ---**
--Following the runner on second base,\n--Third! Third! Third base!\n
**[10:22] ---**
--the runner on first base is also heading for home!\n--Second base, go left! Left!\n
**[10:24] ---**
N-No way...\n
**[10:26] ---**
The hitter Sugino also makes it to third base!\n
**[10:27] ---**
--It's a triple that's cleared the bases!\n--All right!\n
**[10:30] ---**
Wh-What the heck is this?\nThis isn't how it's supposed to go.\n
**[10:33] ---**
\n--E Class has scored the first three runs of the game. Oh?\n
**[10:34] ---**
--This is bad!\n--E Class has scored the first three runs of the game. Oh?\n
**[10:36] ---**
You look rather pale, Mr. Terai.\n
**[10:40] ---**
Perhaps you are not feeling well.\n
**[10:43] ---**
You should go rest right away.\n
**[10:45] ---**
The team members are so worried,\nthey are not able to play their best.\n
**[10:49] ---**
S-Sir! N-No, as you can see, I am perfectly--\n
**[10:52] ---**
I am glad to find you unwell.\n
**[10:55] ---**
Were it not for illness,\n
**[10:56] ---**
no instructor employed at my school\nwould perform so disgracefully.\n
**[11:04] ---**
Ah! As I thought, he has a terrible fever.\n
**[11:06] ---**
Please take Mr. Terai to the nurse's office.\n
**[11:08] ---**
Yes, sir!\n
**[11:09] ---**
In the meantime, I shall serve as the coach.\n
**[11:12] ---**
Wh-What are you...\n
**[11:15] ---**
Oh, I will merely educate them a little.\n
**[11:26] ---**
Man! That was too bad.\n
**[11:28] ---**
Yeah. We'll get them next time!\n
**[11:30] ---**
I'm sorry. I was the one\nwho dragged us down.\n
**[11:33] ---**
--That's not true.\n--Don't worry about it.\n
**[11:36] ---**
When I saw the bobbing boobs\non those basketball players,\n
**[11:38] ---**
the rage and bloodlust just made\nme see nothing but red and I...\n
**[11:41] ---**
What's up with your animosity\ntowards big boobs?!\n
**[11:44] ---**
But I mean...\n
**[11:46] ---**
Now, then...\n
**[11:47] ---**
I wonder how the boys are doing.\n
**[11:52] ---**
Mr. Principal...\n
**[11:54] ---**
Top of the first inning and the final boss\nalready makes his appearance?\n
**[11:57] ---**
A-According to the information I just received,\n
**[12:00] ---**
Mr. Terai, the coach of the Baseball Club,\n
**[12:02] ---**
had been gravely ill since before the match\n
**[12:04] ---**
and the players were so\nworried for their teacher\n
**[12:06] ---**
that their hearts were not in the game!\n
**[12:08] ---**
The principal couldn't\nstand by and do nothing,\n
**[12:10] ---**
so it seems he will be\ntaking charge immediately!\n
**[12:14] ---**
--Batter number five, second baseman, Maehara.\n--Now, the game resumes!\n
**[12:17] ---**
How will they--\n
**[12:19] ---**
Wh-What in the world is this?!\n
**[12:21] ---**
All players are defending the infield!\n
**[12:23] ---**
\n--I have never seen the defense moved in like this!\n
**[12:23] ---**
--They know that all we've got is the bunt.\n--I have never seen the defense moved in like this!\n
**[12:25] ---**
But they can't do that, right?!\nGetting up close like that?!\n
**[12:28] ---**
According to the rules,\n
**[12:29] ---**
they're free to defend wherever they\nwant as long as it's in fair territory.\n
**[12:32] ---**
It'd be a different story if\nthe umpire made a call against it,\n
**[12:35] ---**
but the teacher acting\nas umpire is on their side.\n
**[12:38] ---**
We can't expect anything from him.\n
**[12:39] ---**
Now, let's reset the flow of this game.\n
**[12:42] ---**
About Sugino of E Class...\n
**[12:45] ---**
It seems he joined a municipal baseball club.\n
**[12:48] ---**
In his own way, he's making an effort.\n
**[12:50] ---**
But what of it?\n
**[12:52] ---**
Everyone makes an effort.\n
**[12:54] ---**
Chosen people such as\nyourselves have a destiny.\n
**[12:59] ---**
In the life ahead of you,\n
**[13:00] ---**
you'll have to trample hundreds,\neven thousands, of people like him\n
**[13:03] ---**
in order to get ahead.\n
**[13:06] ---**
You would be better off not\nthinking of this as baseball.\n
**[13:08] ---**
This is the work of trampling\njust ten of those thousands.\n
**[13:13] ---**
Now, let us begin our work.\n
**[13:18] ---**
Yowch!\n
**[13:18] ---**
He popped it up!\n
**[13:20] ---**
Has the pressure of the\ninfielders gotten to Maehara?!\n
**[13:22] ---**
That's one out now!\n
**[13:24] ---**
--Batter number six, center fielder, Okajima.\n--You've got to be kidding me! You can't get by that with a bunt!\n
**[13:28] ---**
What're we going to do, Coach Koro?!\n
**[13:30] ---**
One! Two! Three!\n
**[13:32] ---**
There's nothing else we can do?!\n
**[13:35] ---**
Strike three! Batter out!\n
**[13:37] ---**
Strike three! Batter out!\n
**[13:39] ---**
--Three outs! Switch!\n--And just like that, they got three out!\n
**[13:42] ---**
The pitcher, Shindo, is completely\nback to his usual form!\n
**[13:44] ---**
Keep it up, Shindo.\n
**[13:47] ---**
All you have to do is\nthrow four-seam fastballs.\n
**[13:50] ---**
Make your movements large and\npitch as though to overpower them.\n
**[13:53] ---**
Yes, sir!\n
**[13:54] ---**
And I will say this again to all of you.\n
**[13:56] ---**
This is not baseball.\n
**[13:58] ---**
This is the work of unilaterally\ngaining ascendancy.\n
**[14:00] ---**
Yes, sir!\n
**[14:01] ---**
We're turning the tables on them!\n
**[14:02] ---**
Yeah!\n
**[14:04] ---**
"Easy to Understand" "Rule Book"\n
**[14:04] ---**
"Easy to Understand" "Rule Book"\nHe, too, is masterful at educating his students.\n
**[14:07] ---**
He has a good memory of his\nstudents' faces and their talents,\n
**[14:10] ---**
and he's exceptional at teaching,\nas well as getting them motivated.\n
**[14:14] ---**
Their methods are very similar.\n
**[14:16] ---**
--And yet, how can they be so different as educators?\n--Come on, inspiration! Come on, inspiration!\n
**[14:22] ---**
This contest of leadership between these two...\n
**[14:24] ---**
I'm a little interested to see how it goes.\n
**[14:26] ---**
I get it now, Karasuma!\nIn other words, with ball and stick, you...\n
**[14:29] ---**
Batter number one, left fielder, Hashimoto.\n
**[14:32] ---**
Play ball!\n
**[14:33] ---**
Sugino of Class E, first pitch. And he throws.\n
**[14:36] ---**
Whoa!\n
**[14:37] ---**
--Strike!\n--Holy smokes!\n
**[14:39] ---**
Don't let them get a hit, Sugino.\n
**[14:41] ---**
I'm not sure any of us can catch\nthe ball, even if it comes our way.\n
**[14:44] ---**
I know.\n
**[14:46] ---**
Try repeating after me.\n
**[14:47] ---**
"I am strong."\n
**[14:49] ---**
"I will wind up big and throw."\n
**[14:51] ---**
I am strong.\n
**[14:53] ---**
I will wind up big and throw.\n
**[14:55] ---**
"I will overpower them."\n
**[14:57] ---**
I will overpower them.\n
**[14:59] ---**
"I will trample them."\n
**[15:00] ---**
I will trample them.\n
**[15:01] ---**
\n--U-Unbelievable! He's struck out two batters in a row!\n
**[15:02] ---**
--Karma.\n--U-Unbelievable! He's struck out two batters in a row!\n
**[15:04] ---**
Don't show up right at my feet, Coach Koro.\n
**[15:07] ---**
You looking to get stepped on?\n
**[15:10] ---**
The next inning begins\nwith you first up to bat.\n
**[15:12] ---**
How about we try shaking things up\nwith some provocation from you?\n
**[15:15] ---**
Now, top of the second inning!\n
**[15:16] ---**
Still going with the impregnable bunt defense!\n
**[15:19] ---**
Batter number eight, left fielder, Akabane.\n
**[15:23] ---**
\n--What are you doing? Hurry up and get in the batter's box.\n
**[15:24] ---**
--Hey!\n--What are you doing? Hurry up and get in the batter's box.\n
**[15:26] ---**
Isn't this playing dirty, Mr. Principal?\n
**[15:29] ---**
They're taking up defensive\npositions that clutter up the field,\n
**[15:32] ---**
and the teacher acting as umpire\nhasn't given them any warnings.\n
**[15:35] ---**
Don't you guys think it's weird, too?\n
**[15:38] ---**
Oh, I get it.\n
**[15:40] ---**
You guys are morons,\n
**[15:41] ---**
so you don't understand defensive\npositions and stuff, do you?\n
**[15:43] ---**
Quit whining about\nthe little things, E Class!\n
**[15:46] ---**
It's an *exhibition* game! Quit trying to dispute the defense!
**[15:49] ---**
Don't think it's working, Coach.\n
**[15:52] ---**
That's perfectly fine.\n
**[15:54] ---**
The important thing is to speak out,\nand protest loud and clear.\n
**[15:57] ---**
Top of the second inning, E Class\nhelplessly gives up three outs!\n
**[16:02] ---**
He hit it!\n
**[16:03] ---**
The trajectory's low!\nIt smacked right into the fence!\n
**[16:06] ---**
--Uh-oh! He couldn't catch it off the bounce!\n--Nice hit!\n
**[16:08] ---**
Shindo makes it to second base\nwith room to spare! It's a double!\n
**[16:11] ---**
Thank you, Koro Sensei,\n
**[16:13] ---**
for helping me educate them.\n
**[16:15] ---**
The weak, who try to win\nusing nothing but cheap tricks,\n
**[16:19] ---**
and the overwhelmingly strong,\nwho easily overpower them.\n
**[16:22] ---**
I wonder which the students\nwould rather be like.\n
**[16:27] ---**
Strike three! Batter out!\n
**[16:29] ---**
Now, bottom of the third!\nWe've finally come to the end!\n
**[16:32] ---**
It's the Baseball Club's turn\non offense and that's it!\n
**[16:34] ---**
Hashimoto.\n
**[16:36] ---**
Yes, sir!\n
**[16:36] ---**
Show them how it is done.\n
**[16:40] ---**
\n--Whoa-oh! A bunt!\n
**[16:42] ---**
--Damn it!\n--It's E Class's turn to see their share of hell!\n
**[16:44] ---**
--E Class, *this* is how bunting is done!
**[16:45] ---**
--Sorry. --E Class, *this* is how bunting is done!
**[16:46] ---**
--It's all good. --E Class, *this* is how bunting is done!
**[16:47] ---**
The Baseball Club bunting against amateurs...\n
**[16:51] ---**
Even the students watching would\nnormally find it unacceptable.\n
**[16:54] ---**
--But the fact that you did it first\n
**[16:56] ---**
--Damn it!\n--provided us with proper justification.\n
**[16:59] ---**
To show you how it's *really* done.
**[17:02] ---**
No outs! Bases loaded!\nAnd the batter that's up is...\n
**[17:04] ---**
...our school's superstar! Our pride and joy!\n
**[17:07] ---**
It's Shindo!\n
**[17:10] ---**
I'll trample you, Sugino!\n
**[17:14] ---**
In order to orchestrate\nthis for the final inning,\n
**[17:17] ---**
I have been building him up\nsince the first inning.\n
**[17:20] ---**
It will not be a bunt that clinches the game,\n
**[17:23] ---**
but the swing of the powerful--\nthe star of this game!\n
**[17:25] ---**
Now, what hand will you play,\n
**[17:27] ---**
Mr. Homeroom Teacher to these assassins?\n
**[17:31] ---**
Karma.\n
**[17:32] ---**
The time has come to put your\nearlier provocation to good use.\n
**[17:36] ---**
Oh, I get it now.\n
**[17:39] ---**
I think we have no choice but to walk Shindo.\n
**[17:41] ---**
Hey, instructions from the coach.\n
**[17:44] ---**
Now, the game resumes--\n
**[17:46] ---**
But...\n
**[17:48] ---**
Th-These tight defensive positions!\n
**[17:51] ---**
We're clearly defending in positions\nthat would disrupt the batter's focus,\n
**[17:55] ---**
but when you guys did it earlier,\nthe umpire didn't say anything.\n
**[18:00] ---**
You've got no problems\nwith this, right, Principal?\n
**[18:02] ---**
Indeed.\n
**[18:04] ---**
You have thought this through,\nbut that is just a clever trick.\n
**[18:07] ---**
Feel free.\n
**[18:08] ---**
Mere changes in defense will not\nrattle those who are chosen.\n
**[18:12] ---**
Wow, tough talk.\nThen we'll take you at your word.\n
**[18:17] ---**
T-Talk about close!\n
**[18:19] ---**
Forget about tight defense!\nThis is point-blank range defense!\n
**[18:21] ---**
He could hit them with\nhis swing at that distance!\n
**[18:24] ---**
Don't mind us--swing away, superstar.\nWe won't get in the way of the pitch.\n
**[18:30] ---**
A worthless bluff.\n
**[18:32] ---**
Swing away without a care, Shindo.\n
**[18:34] ---**
Even if you break some bones,\n
**[18:36] ---**
it will be E Class that gets penalized\nfor obstructing the batter.\n
**[18:40] ---**
Think they can mock me like this?\n
**[18:42] ---**
If I swing big and scare them,\n
**[18:44] ---**
they'll back down for sure!\n
**[18:49] ---**
Strike!\n
**[18:51] ---**
They barely moved to dodge him...\n
**[18:53] ---**
In terms of their nerves of steel and dynamic\nvisual acuity, they're at the top of E Class.\n
**[18:58] ---**
Simply dodging the bat is\neasier than bunting for them.\n
**[19:02] ---**
A slow swing like that won't cut it.\n
**[19:05] ---**
Next time,\n
**[19:08] ---**
try swinging like you're going to kill us.\n
**[19:11] ---**
At this point,\n
**[19:13] ---**
Shindo could no longer physically\nkeep up with the principal's strategy.\n
**[19:16] ---**
Both the runners and the audience members\n
**[19:18] ---**
were overwhelmed by this bizarre\nspectacle masquerading as baseball.\n
**[19:27] ---**
Nagisa!\n
**[19:28] ---**
--Out!\n--Third base!\n
**[19:30] ---**
Out!\n
**[19:31] ---**
Kimura! First base next!\n
**[19:33] ---**
The runner hasn't run, so no rush!\n
**[19:35] ---**
Roger that!\n
**[19:37] ---**
Out!\n
**[19:38] ---**
A t-triple play--game over.\n
**[19:41] ---**
Unbelievable... Unbelievable...\n
**[19:43] ---**
E Class has...\n
**[19:44] ---**
--You boys are awesome!\n--...won against the Baseball Club!\n
**[19:45] ---**
--They did it!\n--...won against the Baseball Club!\n
**[19:48] ---**
What the hell? That was no fun!\n
**[19:50] ---**
The Baseball Club lost to\nthose E Class nobodies!\n
**[19:53] ---**
Who the hell loses with that\nkind of difference in firepower?!\n
**[19:56] ---**
The people who were watching\nprobably have no way of knowing\n
**[20:00] ---**
about the numerous strategies\n
**[20:01] ---**
that the two coaches pitted against\neach other behind the scenes.\n
**[20:05] ---**
Between this and the midterms,\nI'd say I'm at one win and one loss.\n
**[20:09] ---**
We shall settle this with\nthe upcoming final exams.\n
**[20:13] ---**
Shindo.\n
**[20:16] ---**
Sorry for turning it into such a crazy game.\n
**[20:20] ---**
But I know.\n
**[20:22] ---**
You're a way stronger\nbaseball player than I am.\n
**[20:25] ---**
I don't think I won against you\nwith this or anything.\n
**[20:30] ---**
Then...\n
**[20:31] ---**
...why did you go to all this trouble to win?\n
**[20:34] ---**
Weren't you trying to produce real results\nto show that you're stronger than me?\n
**[20:40] ---**
Nagisa always keeps me company\nwhen I practice my breaking balls.\n
**[20:45] ---**
And things like Karma and Isogai's reflexes\n
**[20:47] ---**
and how everyone'd gotten good\nat bunting was amazing, right?\n
**[20:51] ---**
But without real results to show for it,\nit's hard to get that across.\n
**[20:55] ---**
Well, what it boils down to is this:\n
**[20:57] ---**
I wanted to brag a little.\n
**[20:59] ---**
About my current friends, to my old friends.\n
**[21:06] ---**
You remember this, Sugino!\n
**[21:08] ---**
Next time we play will be in high school!\n
**[21:10] ---**
You got it!\n
**[21:11] ---**
*If* Earth's still here by the time we hit high school.
**[21:14] ---**
What's wrong?\n
**[21:15] ---**
Nah, it's nothing.\n
**[21:42] ---**
*The sun shines, leaving a red afterimage *
**[21:49] ---**
*On the backs of closed eyelids *
**[21:55] ---**
*With notebook and pen in my leather bag *
**[22:01] ---**
*C'mon, let's go walking *
**[22:06] ---**
*I draw and I draw *
**[22:10] ---**
*But they don't get any neater *
**[22:12] ---**
*There's nothing wrong with the paint I've chosen *
**[22:18] ---**
*I still remember the shooting star *
**[22:25] ---**
*I saw last night--I was waiting for... *
**[22:33] ---**
*Hello, shooting star *
**[22:35] ---**
*Hello, shooting star again *
**[22:38] ---**
*She's been waiting *
**[22:39] ---**
*That dreaming girl has been here *
**[22:44] ---**
*All this time, ah ah *
**[22:50] ---**
*Just like she was that day, ah ah *
**[22:55] ---**
*Shine again *
