[00:01] Sumika
    Hiyorin found Yukino Tachibana-san, a former
    softball player and powerful slugger.
[00:07] Sumika
    She joined our practice session and showed
    interest in becoming a sport idol, but...
[00:15] Saki
    Yukino-san's family owns a kendo dojo.
[00:18] Saki
    When her father and brother passed away,
    Yukino-san decided she needed to inherit it.
[00:25] Saki
    She said, to concentrate on the way
    of the sword, she can't work with us.
[00:29] Nono
    To carry on the family tradition, or to
    live her own dream and help her friends...
[00:36] Nono
    Yukino-sama is trapped between
    two conflicting desires.
[00:44] Sumika
    And today is the first day
    of the main tournament.

    The first round of the Extreme Hearts
[02:31] Announcer
    Kanagawa main tournament
    has started with baseball.
SIGN    "The Sword of the Heart"
[02:36] Announcer
    In the first game, we are
    at the bottom of the 4th.
SIGN    Gensou Shoujo Dan
[02:39] Announcer
    Link@Doll has a huge 5-0 lead
    over Gensou Shoujo Dan.
[02:45] Announcer
    We're seeing great teamwork from Link@Doll's
    seven members, led by their pitcher, Ayatsuji.
[02:50] Announcer
    Gensou Shoujo Dan, with a smaller roster,
    is having a tough time.
[02:56] Announcer
    After this, game two will
    feature RISE versus BanShee,
[03:01] Announcer
    followed by game three,
    Flamme Axis versus Prime Plum.
[03:18] Souichi
    What's this? I thought you
    had a game to play today.
[03:22] Yukino
    I don't have the right to participate.
[03:26] Yukino
    I ignored their messages and
    haven't been to practice.
[03:30] Yukino
    I'm sure they're all sick of me now.
[03:34] Souichi
    But you still want to play
    baseball with them, right?
[03:42] Souichi
    Not just baseball, but other sports,
     and singing.
[03:46] Souichi
    Sounds fine to me.
[03:48] Souichi
    Like a good life to
    live as a teenage girl.
[03:51] Yukino
    I've decided to concentrate
    on the way of the sword,
[03:54] Yukino
    so I can take over Tachibana-ryu and this dojo.
[03:57] Yukino
    I didn't make the decision solely
    based on a sense of responsibility.
[04:00] Yukino
    I find real value and honor
    in pursuing this path.
[04:04] Yukino
    This is the path I genuinely want.
[04:07] Souichi
    So this "honor" of yours,
[04:10] Souichi
    does that involve looking the other
    way when your friends need help?
[04:15] Yukino
    I'm not clever like my
    father and brother were.
[04:19] Yukino
    I have to concentrate on one thing,
    otherwise I won't accomplish anything.
[04:24] Yukino
    The way of the sword,
    and the way of my friends...
[04:26] Yukino
    I have to give up one or the other.
[04:30] Souichi
    You got that serious tone from your dad.
[04:34] Souichi
    I wish you were more like me.
[04:37] Souichi
    Yukino, not all paths are straight.
[04:43] Souichi
    Sometimes, the roundabout way
    turns out to be the right one.
[04:49] Souichi
    Sometimes, taking detours
    lets you find new things.
[04:53] Souichi
    Sword training is more than just
    locking yourself up in the dojo,
[04:56] Souichi
    and flailing your wooden sword around.
[04:58] Souichi
    Always remember to carry
    your sword in your heart,
[05:00] Souichi
    and then any path you take is
    the way of the sword.
[05:03] Souichi
    If you still feel lost without
    a sword in your hand...
[05:07] Souichi
    Here.
[05:20] Souichi
    That's your sword for now. Go.
[05:23] Souichi
    Use your Tachibana-ryu to save your friends.
[05:30] Yukino
    Yes!
[05:35] Shiho
    All right, let's hurry up and go!
[05:38] Shiho
    You can still make it in time
    for the beginning of the game!
[05:40] Yukino
    Yes! Thank you!
[05:43] Hiyori
    Right! Right! Got it!
[05:46] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan is coming!
[05:49] Yukino
    B-But... Actually...
[05:51] Yukino
    The traffic is very bad.
[05:54] Shiho
    I'll go as fast as I can.
[05:55] Shiho
    I'm sorry, everyone! Please wait
    just a little while longer!
[05:58] Hiyori
    It's all right!
[06:00] Saki
    We'll be waiting!
[06:01] Sumika
    Safety first, please!
[06:03] Shiho
    Wait for us!
[06:05] Yukino
    Sorry!
[06:07] Announcer
    The second game is about to begin!
[06:09] Announcer
    BanShee, the team with Kanagawa's
    largest roster at 11 members,
[06:15] Announcer
    faces off against RISE, which has won
    thus far with just three members.
[06:19] Announcer
    RISE does have one additional
    player on their roster, but...
[06:23] Announcer
    It seems like she's late, due to traffic.
[06:27] RiN
    So, it looks like you'll be
    playing as a threesome after all.
[06:31] Hiyori
    Yes. But...
[06:34] RiN
    We climb by crushing weaklings.
[06:37] RiN
    Don't try to resist.
[06:38] Saki
    Huh?
[06:40] Hiyori
    We'll do our best to not lose.
[06:43] Announcer
    It's the top of the first, and RISE is at bat.
[06:46] Announcer
    First up is Hiyori Hayama, the team leader.
[06:51] Announcer
    BanShee's pitcher is RiN,
    a singer and team leader.
[06:55] Announcer
    The catcher is NaO,
    guitarist and second in command.
[06:59] Announcer
    And now, it's the long-awaited opening pitch.
[07:05] Umpire
    Ball.
[07:13] Umpire
    Ball.
[07:14] Umpire
    Ball.
[07:19] Umpire
    Ball four!
[07:27] Announcer
    RISE's second batter is a player robot!
[07:30] RiN
    The robot must be tasked with bunting.
[07:32] RiN
    I won't let you.
[07:40] RiN
    There!
[07:47] NaO
    All right.
[07:50] Umpire
    Out!
[07:51] Announcer
    And there's no bunt!
[07:53] Announcer
    The third batter is the team's
    top scorer, Kodaka, but...
[07:57] Announcer
    Is this an intentional walk?
[08:02] Umpire
    Ball.
[08:05] Umpire
    Ball four!
[08:11] Announcer
    Back to back intentional walks!
[08:13] Announcer
    BanShee's RiN refuses to
    take on the RISE members!
[08:16] RiN
    Of course. There's no reason
    for me to really fight these three.
[08:23] Umpire
    Ball four!
[08:26] RiN
    The three of you can sit
    on those bases all day.
[08:30] RiN
    Without a fourth to send you home...
[08:34] RiN
    All we have to do is shut
    down those pathetic robots!
[08:45] Umpire
    Strike!
[08:48] Umpire
    Strike! You're out!
[08:51] Umpire
    Three outs! Change!
[08:53] Announcer
    RISE was able to fill the bases through
    intentional walks, but was not able to score!
[09:01] Announcer
    Will BanShee continue the intentional
    walk strategy for the entire game?
[09:04] Shiho
    Don't worry. At this pace, we'll
    make it before the game ends.
[09:09] Yukino
    Yes.
[09:11] Announcer
    It's the bottom of the third,
    and BanShee is on the offense.
[09:14] Announcer
    RISE's pitcher Maehara was able to prevent
    her opponent from scoring until now,
[09:18] Announcer
    but the second round of batters
    are beginning to make some hits,
[09:20] Announcer
    with one out, and runners at first and third.
[09:23] Announcer
    She faces SaKo, the fifth batter,
    on a full count!
[09:30] Announcer
    She hits!
[09:33] Announcer
    And a runner crosses home plate from third!
[09:35] Umpire
    Safe!
[09:35] Announcer
    This is the first run scored on Maehara
    as a pitcher during this tournament!
[09:39] Announcer
    RISE is in a tough situation!
SIGN    Kounan Stadium
[09:48] Umpire
    Ball four!
[09:49] Announcer
    Top of the fourth. RISE is down one run,
    and needs to catch up.
[09:53] Announcer
    Kodaka is first up at bat,
    but she's intentionally walked.
[09:57] Announcer
    And against Maehara, the cleanup hitter...
[10:02] Announcer
    It's another intentional walk!
[10:05] Umpire
    Ball.
[10:05] Announcer
    BanShee's RiN is thorough with her strategy!
[10:08] RiN
    It's not our fault they could
    only bring three decent players.
[10:15] Umpire
    Ball!
[10:18] RiN
    There's no reason why I should
    go easy on them because of that.
[10:23] Yukino
    I'm sorry!
[10:24] Yukino
    I'm late!
[10:26] Yukino
    Thanks for waiting!
[10:29] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan...
[10:33] Hiyori
    Oh! Timeout! Timeout, please!
[10:36] Announcer
    Oh, is RISE's fourth player finally here?
[10:41] Yukino
    I deeply apologize for my selfishness...
[10:44] Yukino
    And for the terrible things I said,
[10:46] Yukino
    and for not coming to practice,
    and for being late.
[10:49] Sumika
    Being late is bad, yeah.
[10:51] Saki
    But you made it!
[10:54] Nono
    It's still early in this game!
[10:56] Hiyori
    You'll be with us from here on, right?
[11:00] Yukino
    I will do my very best!
[11:03] Sumika
    Wait, you have to get changed!
[11:05] Yukino
    Yes, right away!
[11:07] Hiyori
    Don't get naked here!
[11:08] Saki
    You're on camera!
[11:11] NaO
    Seems like the fourth player is batting next.
[11:14] NaO
    There are still some open bases.
    Let's just let them both walk.
[11:17] RiN
    Yeah, then we strike out
    the robots and we're done.
[11:20] Announcer
    No outs, with runners walked
    to first and second.
[11:24] Announcer
    Yukino Tachibana,
    the latecomer, is on the plate.
[11:27] Announcer
    What are her skills like?
[11:29] Yukino
    I'm sorry to make you wait.
[11:34] Yukino
    Thanks for waiting.
[11:37] Yukino
    It seems you've stuck to your
    intentional walk strategy until now,
[11:40] Yukino
    but will you do the same with me?
[11:42] NaO
    That's the plan. What's wrong with it?
[11:46] Yukino
    I was wondering if you might be interested
    in having a real showdown now.
[11:49] NaO
    Huh?
[11:51] Yukino
    And so...
[11:54] Yukino
    I'll be hitting a game-changing home run now!
[12:00] Yukino
    Will you accept my challenge?
    Or will you run from it?
[12:04] Audience
    Fight her!
[12:05] Audience
    Don't run!
[12:13] NaO
    RiN! Ignore her!
[12:16] RiN
    Sit down, NaO!
[12:18] RiN
    Don't worry. I'm calm.
[12:22] NaO
    I'm counting on you, RiN.
[12:25] RiN
    I'll send her to first base.
    That hasn't changed.
[12:30] RiN
    But I'll do it like this!
[12:34] RiN
    Eat this!
[12:37] Yukino
    I will protect the team...
[12:41] Saki
    A beanball!?
[12:42] Hiyori
    Yuki-chan!
[12:43] Nono
    Watch out!
[12:47] Yukino
    ...my kind friends, and their path!
[12:54] Yukino
    With the Tachibana sword...
    My sword, this sword!
[13:01] Announcer
    She hits!
[13:03] Announcer
    The ball goes flying toward
    right field! It's going, going...
[13:07] Announcer
    It's not coming down!
[13:09] Announcer
    It's out of here!
[13:11] Announcer
    It's a home run!
[13:15] Announcer
    RISE's late-arriving fourth player,
    Yukino Tachibana,
[13:19] Announcer
    knocks the ball out of the park!
[13:22] Announcer
    It's an awesome home run,
    just as she declared!
[13:26] Number 5
    What was that, RiN?!
[13:28] NaO
    I told you, let her walk!
[13:30] RiN
    Shut up! They're only up two.
[13:33] RiN
    I've already finished analyzing
    Maehara's curveballs.
[13:36] RiN
    We just have to keep scoring
    hits on her, and...
[13:50] Umpire
    Strike!
[13:52] NaO
    Huh?!
[13:53] Umpire
    Strike, batter's out!
[13:58] Umpire
    Strike, batter's out!
[14:00] RiN
    Damn it, damn it...
[14:11] Umpire
    Strike three! You're out!
[14:13] Umpire
    Three outs! Change!
[14:16] Sumika
    It feels good to throw at full strength!
[14:18] Sumika
    Yukinon, good lead offs!
[14:20] Yukino
    Good pitching, Sumika!
SIGN    Revive from
     the Brink
[14:23] Announcer
    And BanShee's third batter has struck out!
[14:25] Announcer
    Tachibana's direction is adding
    an edge to Maehara's pitches!
[14:33] Announcer
    And the game is over!
[14:37] Announcer
    RISE wins, with the score 7 to 1!
[14:42] RISE
    Yay!

    RISE, congratulations on your first win!
[14:50] RISE
    Thank you!
[14:52] Stage Announcer
    Maehara-san, your pitches
    were quite astounding.
[14:55] Sumika
    I did give up that one run in the third,
[14:58] Sumika
    but thanks to my partner,
    I was able to pull off a win.
[15:01] Stage Announcer
    There's a lot of mystery surrounding
    your new fourth member, but...

    Oh. Yes...

    I am Yukino Tachibana, from the

    one-liter milk cartons. I brought six.
[19:14] Lise
    My mom didn't like how I was taking
    up all the space in the freezer,
[19:18] Lise
    but I did a lot of housework
    to get her approval!
[19:21] Lise
    Today, I'd like to smash these
    using my favorite moves.
[19:26] Lise
    First off!
[19:29] Lise
    One of the basics, a roundhouse kick!
[19:37] Lise
    Followed by a back spin kick!
[19:43] Lise
    Knife hand strike!
[19:48] Lise
    Back hand strike!
[19:54] Lise
    It's getting a bit cooler!
[19:56] Lise
    I got ice chips in my shirt,
    so I'm a bit cold,
[20:00] Lise
    but since it's so hot today,
    I'm sure it'll melt right away!
[20:02] Lise
    And now, the finale!
[20:04] Lise
    A big move, the jumping double spin kick!
[20:12] Lise
    Here we...
[20:19] Lise
    Hmm?
[20:29] Saki
    Oh, I'm sorry! Are you all right?
[20:34] Lise
    Oh, I'm fine.
[20:37] Saki
    I'm sorry I watched without permission.
[20:40] Lise
    It's fine! This is a public place.
[20:46] Lise
    Um, you're Saki Kodaka-san, right?
[20:49] Saki
    Yes, I am Saki Kodaka.
[20:52] Lise
    From RISE, the Extreme Hearts team?
[20:55] Saki
    Yes! That's right!
    I'm Saki Kodaka from RISE!
[20:59] Lise
    I saw your match and your
    performance on stream!
[21:02] Lise
    It was so wonderful! So cool!
[21:06] Saki
    Oh wow, thank you! I'm so happy!
[21:12] Lise
    I'm Lise Kohinata, a second-year
    in middle school. Just like you.
[21:20] Saki
    Oh really? That's kind of nice.
[21:24] Saki
    Those karate moves...
    Were you recording a video?
[21:27] Lise
    Yeah. I post videos on NewTube.
[21:31] Lise
    I've only just started, so I don't
    get any views at all, but...
[21:35] Saki
    I'm really sorry. It must have taken a
    while to prepare all the ice and stuff.
[21:41] Lise
    No, don't worry about it.
[21:44] Lise
    It's just a hobby, it's not serious.
[21:48] Saki
    Sorry.

[22:01] Saki
    Her karate moves were awesome,
    so she must be very athletic.
[22:07] Saki
    In other words, she might be a good
    candidate for becoming a Hyper Sports idol!
[23:50] Sumika
    Yukinon!

    Yes, Sumika?
