Morning.
[00:13] ---
Good morning!
[00:15] ---
Here, it's French toast!
[00:18] ---
It's red...
[00:20] ---
You said you didn't need lunch,
so I decided to put more effort into breakfast!
[00:25] ---
Put more effort... looks like that's nothing
more than adding pizza sauce...
[00:29] ---
Time to eat!
[00:29] ---
Otosaka house Secret!
Pizza sauce
[00:33] ---
It already has sugar in it, and has the
extra sweetness from the pizza sauce!
[00:37] ---
Eh? Did it taste strange?
[00:39] ---
Oh, no, it's fine. Seems like
I'm not feeling too well.
[00:43] ---
Can it be that you caught a cold?
Maybe you should stay home from school?
[00:47] ---
It's not that bad. I'm sorry
I'm making you worry...
[00:51] ---
Are you really all right?
[00:53] ---
I'm totally fine!
[00:59] ---
Thank you for this meal.
[01:00] ---
You really do look pale!
You should take the day off today!
[01:04] ---
No, no, there are no real
issues with my condition.
[01:08] ---
How should I seal away that pizza sauce...

Episode 4
Moment of Earnest
[02:44] ---
Hey, hey, I got amazing news!
[02:46] ---
Apparently Yusa Nishimori is
transferring into our school!
[02:48] ---
Eh? You mean THE Yusarin?
[02:50] ---
That can't be. This isn't
an art school or anything...
[02:53] ---
But, if she's the real
thing, I'd be so happy!
[02:55] ---
Nothing less from our Yusarin!
Everyone is so worked up about this already!
[02:58] ---
When she actually shows up,
how much of a riot will there be?
[03:01] ---
I'm troubled just thinking about it....
[03:05] ---
Quiet!
[03:06] ---
-You there! Sit down!
-Hey, is that...
[03:08] ---
Over here.
[03:13] ---
Now, she is a transfer student
who will be your classmate starting today.
[03:16] ---
Go introduce yourself.
[03:17] ---
I'm Yusa Kurobane, known as Yusarin!
[03:21] ---
Quiet! Quiet!
[03:23] ---
You there! Sit down!
[03:25] ---
And you there, stop dancing!
[03:26] ---
Even in a place like this,
she calls herself Yusarin?
[03:30] ---
So your real name is Kurobane?
[03:32] ---
Heh, you didn't even know that?
[03:40] ---
I may not be able to attend school
on some days due to work,
[03:42] ---
but I'd like to really enjoy high
school life with all of you!
[03:47] ---
It's a pleasure to meet all of you!
[03:50] ---
Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin!
[03:56] ---
-Quiet down!
-Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin!
[03:58] ---
-Oh, brother...
[03:58] ---
-Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin!
[03:59] ---
-Kurobane, your seat is
right there. Go sit down.
[04:07] ---
Nice to meet you.
[04:08] ---
Yes! I'm sure I will trouble you a lot,
but it's nice to meet you!
[04:14] ---
What's with her?
[04:15] ---
She's so rude.
[04:16] ---
She's so not friendly.
[04:19] ---
Why did you transfer here?
[04:20] ---
I pre-ordered your new single!
[04:22] ---
Me, too! It's such a great song!
[04:25] ---
I always watched Move Asa!
[04:26] ---
Me, too! Me, too!
[04:28] ---
Will you be my friend?
Can we start by exchanging mail addresses--
[04:30] ---
You bastard, what are you saying
so suddenly? Don't leave us out of this!
[04:33] ---
This much can't hurt!
[04:35] ---
Now, now, both of you, be nice to each other!
[04:38] ---
Can it be? Is she really going to do that?
[04:40] ---
Eh? Do what?
[04:43] ---
Making up! Making up!
Making up with a magic spell!
[04:51] ---
There it is! Yusarin's magic spell series, #13!
The spell for making up!
[04:57] ---
There. The two of you have made up now!
[05:00] ---
Yeah, sorry about that.
[05:02] ---
No, I was in the wrong...
[05:04] ---
What is that so-called magic spell series?
[05:08] ---
Yusa had been a regular cast member
of the morning information show "Movement Asa!"
[05:11] ---
also known as Move Asa.
[05:12] ---
After the day's fortunes, towards
the viewers who had bad luck,
[05:15] ---
Yusa sent various magic spells.
[05:18] ---
Series #13? Just how many are there?
[05:21] ---
There are 64! But, two of them
actually overlap, so there really are only 63...
[05:25] ---
Such a turn-off!
[05:29] ---
Oh, will the helper appear before us again?
[05:32] ---
Yes.
[05:34] ---
Ouch! What's up with that,
student council president?
[05:37] ---
Kurobane, I'd like you to come with us
immediately to the student council room.
[05:42] ---
That's too cruel, student council president!
[05:45] ---
Let's go!
[05:47] ---
Sure!
[05:51] ---
Yusa, that magic spell earlier - series #13,
the spell for making up... it was marvelous!
[05:57] ---
Amazing! You knew about
it in that much detail?
[06:00] ---
Yes. I checked out the show the whole time
while you were a part of it.
[06:05] ---
Wow! Thank you so much!
[06:07] ---
You're such a fanboy...
such a turn-off, Takajo.
[06:11] ---
And, well... what are we going to do here?
[06:15] ---
A helper will show up.
[06:17] ---
However, we need you to prepare
mentally so you aren't
[06:20] ---
surprised by his unusual guise.
[06:33] ---
Rest assured, he's one of
us. He will never harm you.
[06:45] ---
The ability is... telekinesis.
[06:49] ---
Um, so in the end, what just went on here?
[06:53] ---
A guy with a special ability is there,
and his power is telekinesis.
[07:00] ---
That guy found you in the same manner.
[07:02] ---
Wow, that's amazing!
Yusarin here is going to do her best! Yeah!
[07:08] ---
You may not realize it, but you can
get possessed by spirits and have pyrokinesis.
[07:11] ---
You're a lot more amazing than this guy...
[07:13] ---
The location is a school, huh...
[07:15] ---
This is... let's se... Kannai Academy.
All right! Bingo!
[07:19] ---
Eh? What is?
[07:22] ---
This is a sports newspaper from last week!
I had my eyes on this guy!
[07:27] ---
Three perfect games in a row!
[07:30] ---
"With sharp knuckle-balls,
[07:31] ---
no doubt this super-high-school level
pitcher will join the pro league!"
[07:34] ---
The next day, I went and watched them practice.
Everyone should look at this.
[07:41] ---
Playing now...
[07:49] ---
Strike!
[07:50] ---
Oh, that's some curve ball!
[07:52] ---
He's like major league caliber.
[07:54] ---
But, just hold on.
[07:56] ---
Now, watch some footage where
[07:58] ---
we get a close-up of the
pitcher's throwing hand.
[08:00] ---
There. Take a look. Isn't something strange?
[08:03] ---
What is?
[08:04] ---
His grip is that of a straight ball.
Every ball is like that.
[08:08] ---
Knuckle balls are supposed to be
[08:09] ---
balls that move irregularly by holding
the ball rotation as much as possible.
[08:13] ---
The basic knuckle ball is thrown by putting
[08:15] ---
your index and middle fingers
against the ball like this.
[08:18] ---
How you hold a ball for a straight pitch
makes the ball rotate,
[08:21] ---
and it will never make the ball shake
as much as it just did.
[08:23] ---
You're quite knowledged...
[08:25] ---
In the end, he's using telekinesis
to move the ball around right after throwing it?
[08:30] ---
Yes.
[08:31] ---
Wow, that's amazing in its own way!
[08:33] ---
Does she get any of this?
[08:36] ---
It will be bad if we can't get a hold of him
[08:37] ---
before the qualifiers for
going to Koushien starts.
[08:40] ---
Let's head there right away.
[08:41] ---
Eh? What about class?
[08:43] ---
It's all right. No matter how we act,
[08:46] ---
as long as you are part
of the student council...
[08:48] ---
...there are no demerits towards
your grades or your school report.
[08:51] ---
I-I see...
[08:52] ---
We're from the Hoshinoumi
Academy student council.
[08:55] ---
What do you want? We're practicing right now.
[08:58] ---
I'm sorry!
[08:59] ---
Eh? Yusa Nishimori?
[09:01] ---
Please ignore her, and for now
listen to what I have to say.
[09:05] ---
What is it...?
[09:06] ---
I'll be blunt here.
Do you use telekinesis to throw knuckle balls?
[09:13] ---
Telekinesis? As in supernatural powers?
[09:16] ---
Of course I don't have such a thing.
[09:18] ---
Are you some occult research club
instead of the student council?
[09:21] ---
All right, listen closely.
[09:24] ---
That power is like a disease
that is only around during puberty.
[09:28] ---
Even if you were aiming to be a pro,
by then, your powers will be gone.
[09:33] ---
Not only that, but if someone notices
that you have powers,
[09:36] ---
you will be captured.
[09:38] ---
And, your body will become
one that can never play baseball again.
[09:40] ---
So, from here on,
please don't use that special ability of yours.
[09:44] ---
Be captured? By whom?
[09:46] ---
By scientists who are researching
people with abilities, just like you.
[09:50] ---
And you want me to believe
such an idiotic thing?
[09:54] ---
Fine. Then, keep looking at me.
[09:58] ---
What?
[10:01] ---
Do you believe me now?
[10:04] ---
You really are a sore loser, aren't you?
[10:07] ---
How about we make a whole roast out of him?
[10:10] ---
Hey!
[10:12] ---
Oh, no, sorry...
[10:13] ---
Don't show off in a place like this!
[10:17] ---
Oh, Yusarin's saliva!
[10:19] ---
No... this would be Misa's saliva...
I'm troubled at how I should react!
[10:23] ---
Such a turn-off!
[10:25] ---
Getting back to the main discussion....
So, what will it be in the end?
[10:25] ---
But no, this is... this has
to be... Yusarin's saliva...
[10:31] ---
No, wait... in the first place...
[10:32] ---
Then, how about we face
each other in baseball?
[10:36] ---
Our baseball team versus
your baseball team.
[10:39] ---
If we win, do as we say.
[10:43] ---
All right. And if we win,
don't have anything to do with me ever again.
[10:47] ---
Yes. But still, you'll never become
a professional baseball player.
[10:52] ---
I don't understand what drives you so far.
[10:56] ---
I want to go to Koushien Stadium. That's all.
[11:00] ---
Understood. Next Sunday at 3:00PM,
at our school courtyard. How about it?
[11:05] ---
Yes. I don't have problems with that.
[11:11] ---
What's wrong, Arifumi?
[11:15] ---
So someone that can hit
that knuckle ball exists in our baseball team?
[11:20] ---
We'll be using special abilities ourselves,
so it will be all right.
[11:22] ---
I see. What kind of abilities
do these people have?
[11:25] ---
No, our baseball team, despite
having several people
[11:27] ---
with potential, has no one that
can use a special ability.
[11:31] ---
Then, how do we...
[11:33] ---
We're still around.
[11:38] ---
We're all a part of this?
[11:39] ---
If not, we won't be able to win.
[11:41] ---
Besides, if it's on our school courtyard,
it wouldn't turn into a riot.
[11:45] ---
Well, that was the appropriate move.
[11:47] ---
Heh.... This gets me burning up
for the first time in a while.
[11:49] ---
Don't you burn anything!
[12:01] ---
Bow!
[12:02] ---
Let's have a good game!
[12:04] ---
Let's all do our best!
[12:05] ---
Our opposing team has girls in it, huh?
[12:08] ---
There's no way they'd be
able to hit your ball.
[12:11] ---
What meaning is there in
a this game to begin with?
[12:13] ---
It's for the future, Takato...
[12:18] ---
I see. If you say so, let's do it.
[12:21] ---
If you lose, I'm smacking all your asses
with a baseball bat!
[12:23] ---
All right, here we go! Yeah!
[12:25] ---
Yeah!
[12:27] ---
Smacking asses with a bat...
[12:28] ---
that sounds like what the
previous generation does.
[12:31] ---
Play ball!
[12:39] ---
All right!
[12:40] ---
They can't even hit our pitcher's ball?
The opponents have horrible batters...
[12:44] ---
Is that so?
[12:45] ---
Hey!
[12:46] ---
I'm being serious here, though this
[12:48] ---
was such a sudden game to play.
What kinda talk is that?
[12:50] ---
It's the truth.
[12:51] ---
You jackass, I'll just abandon this game!
[12:54] ---
I'd be troubled by that.
Please keep pitching.
[12:56] ---
Then properly think before you talk!
[12:58] ---
Kurobane, please go ahead.
[13:01] ---
Okay!
[13:02] ---
Magic spell, magic spell!
[13:07] ---
Calming down with this magic spell!
[13:10] ---
There it is! Yusarin's magic spell series, #9!
[13:13] ---
The spell for calming down!
[13:15] ---
There. Now he is calm!
[13:19] ---
Such a turn-off!
[13:30] ---
Strike! Batter's out!
[13:33] ---
That's a real knuckle ball...
[13:34] ---
there's no way we can
hit something like that.
[13:36] ---
Smacking my ass with a bat,
or whatever else, do what you'd like.
[13:38] ---
But it's pretty amazing that pitches like that
are consistently caught.
[13:43] ---
Even the catcher is super-high-school level, huh...
[13:45] ---
there's no way we can win this.
[13:47] ---
Kannai Academy
Hoshinoumi Academy
[13:52] ---
We just need one run...
if the two of us can score one run,
[13:56] ---
we can win as long as the two of us
protect that one run lead!
[14:04] ---
Not good!
[14:05] ---
So they went after Yusa after all.
[14:11] ---
Misa, on the other hand, has
athletic reflexes, I guess!
[14:16] ---
Dammit, Yusa's shoulders are so weak!
[14:19] ---
I see.... She can make the right decision,
but she can't physically keep up.
[14:24] ---
Strike! Batter's out!
[14:30] ---
Out!
[14:54] ---
Ball four!
[14:56] ---
Not looking good...
[14:59] ---
Out!
[15:02] ---
Safe!
[15:03] ---
This is our biggest crisis...
[15:05] ---
We should use abilities as well.
[15:08] ---
Specifically, how?
[15:09] ---
You need to take over the opponent's batter.
[15:12] ---
And the last two batters for them
will listlessly swing their bats.
[15:17] ---
And you, just throw outside of the strike zone.
[15:19] ---
Just be careful to not throw a wild pitch.
[15:21] ---
S-Sure...
[15:22] ---
Then, I'm counting on you.
[15:25] ---
Play!
[15:28] ---
I have to use my powers
for something like this?
[15:35] ---
Strike!
[15:37] ---
Why?
[15:37] ---
Hey, you...
[15:43] ---
Strike two!
[15:44] ---
Are you all right?
[15:46] ---
Yeah, I'm totally fine.
[15:48] ---
It's two outs with the next guy...
[15:52] ---
Arifumi... If you want to be
that thorough in winning this thing...
[15:58] ---
Catcher!
[16:04] ---
Safe!
[16:07] ---
Takato...
[16:10] ---
What was safe?
[16:11] ---
I didn't think that far...
[16:13] ---
Did he steal home base?
[16:14] ---
Dammit! Dammit, dammit!
[16:17] ---
We can't win this one.
[16:20] ---
Strike! Batter's out!
[16:22] ---
Just make sure to hit the ball when you bunt.
[16:25] ---
Then, use your ability
to run past first base.
[16:29] ---
Will they be able to see me do so?
[16:31] ---
I'll record the evidence with
a super-high-speed camera.
[16:34] ---
Got it.
[16:42] ---
Strike!
[16:44] ---
Strike two!
[16:46] ---
If I screw up the next one, I'll be out...
[16:50] ---
Now, one more guy...
[16:58] ---
All right!
[17:04] ---
See, he's touched first base.
[17:07] ---
Come on now, it's safe! It's safe, isn't it?
[17:10] ---
....Safe!
[17:12] ---
What just happened?
[17:14] ---
Well done! We will not be
wasting your sacrifice.
[17:17] ---
Someone, I need a pinch runner!
[17:20] ---
Yusa is weak, but I'll use
my own game sense to hit the ball!
[17:31] ---
All right!
[17:32] ---
Wow, that was like Ichiro.
[17:34] ---
And now it's your turn
at bat, what will you do?
[17:37] ---
After my sacrifice bunt succeeds,
one base hit and it's a walk-off.
[17:42] ---
I can't hit that with my ability!
[17:44] ---
How about you go face things
head-on every so often?
[17:48] ---
Yu Otosaka, the fiend of cheating on tests.
[18:01] ---
Please hit!
[18:09] ---
-Dammit, against guys like this...
-First base!
[18:12] ---
Out!
[18:16] ---
In a scene like this, I
have to face this head-on?
[18:19] ---
Lead, lead, lead...
[18:23] ---
Strike!
[18:26] ---
Strike two!
[18:27] ---
Dammit!
[18:35] ---
Foul!
[18:37] ---
I finally was able to hit...
[18:41] ---
Foul!
[18:43] ---
Foul!
[18:45] ---
Foul!
[18:48] ---
His timing is starting to inch closer...
[18:49] ---
I guess I'll move it a bit
more for the next one.
[19:02] ---
Dammit... it's all over...
[19:04] ---
It's not over! Run!
[19:06] ---
Head to first base, the catcher fumbled!
[19:10] ---
Safe!
[19:11] ---
We can do this! I have the game sense!
[19:14] ---
Takato!
[19:27] ---
Safe!
[19:29] ---
Game set!
[19:32] ---
Did you see that? My game sense?
[19:37] ---
That was amazing, Yusarin!
[19:39] ---
Did we win?
[19:40] ---
Yes, we won.
[19:44] ---
We won, huh...
[19:46] ---
All right.
[19:48] ---
Wait... why am I getting so happy
about something like this?
[19:55] ---
We were victorious.
Please never use that ability ever again.
[20:02] ---
I'm just an ordinary pitcher...
but Takato, the catcher, is different.
[20:08] ---
He's a catcher that really deserves
to be in the spotlight.
[20:11] ---
The two of us have played together
as a battery for a long time now.
[20:14] ---
He knew that the baseball
team at our school was weak,
[20:17] ---
but still, he chose to pair up with me.
[20:21] ---
That's why I wanted to take him,
even if it meant using this strange power...
[20:26] ---
to that big stage where
even the pros would notice.
[20:30] ---
So instead of personal gain,
you were using your ability for your friendship.
[20:34] ---
Yeah.
[20:36] ---
We won today's game by cheating.
[20:39] ---
But, you have been cheating
while pitching this whole time.
[20:43] ---
But, people who properly
watch are out there.
[20:45] ---
Even if you don't cheat.
[20:47] ---
In college, or in the business leagues,
[20:50] ---
you can keep watch over him as his best friend.
[20:55] ---
Someday, you will be able to brag
that "he is my best friend."
[21:00] ---
I'm sure of it. It will be all right.
[21:05] ---
Yeah...
[21:08] ---
And a small experiment.
Can you try taking over his body?
[21:12] ---
Eh? Why?
[21:14] ---
As I said, it's a small experiment.
[21:16] ---
That's not something you
say to your test subject.
[21:18] ---
He is the test subject, so don't worry.
[21:22] ---
Fine...
[21:31] ---
Whoa! What the...?
[21:33] ---
Thank you very much.
[21:35] ---
No, it wasn't anything much...
but did you figure something out?
[21:39] ---
I am not sure for now.
