[00:05] Daigo
    I love baseball.
[00:08] Daigo
    The reason I love baseball so much is...
SIGN    Essay recital
SIGN    "Dreams for the future"
[00:12] Dai
    ...because I love my father.
[00:16] Dai
    My pop—My father is a pro baseball player.
[00:21] Dai
    In the past, he's pitched in
    the MLB in America,
[00:24] Dai
    and he's also played for
    the Japanese national team.
[00:28] Dai
    But now, since he hurt his shoulder,
[00:30] Dai
    he's giving it his all as a batter
    in the Japanese pro league.
SIGN    My Dream
[00:35] Dai
    I really, really love my father
    because he's always strong and cool.
[00:43] Dai
    When I grow up,
[00:46] Dai
    I also want to be a pro baseball
    player like my father!
[00:52] Dai
    And I want to play in the major leagues,
[00:56] Dai
    and become the best in the world!
[00:58] Dai
    "My Dream"...

SIGN    Daigo's Dream
[02:38] Dai
    scissors!
[02:39] Dai
    And shoot!
[02:41] Dai
    And shoot!
[02:42] Dai
    I won!
[02:45] Kao
    All right, Daigo won.
[02:47] Kao
    What do you want to watch?
[02:48] Dai
    Pop's World Series!
[02:50] Izu
    What? Again?
[02:55] Ann
    Pitcher: Number 56, Goro Shigeno!
[03:00] Dai
    Pop!
[03:01] Izu
    Jeez, we already know the
    result. It was 12 years ago.
[03:05] Dai
    The catcher is Satou Toshiya!
[03:07] Dai
    He's been friends with Pop
    since they were both little.
[03:11] Kao
    You're right.
[03:12] Kao
    They were huge rivals
    up until high school, though.
[03:15] Dai
    Wow.
[03:16] Dai
    I'll join the local team when I get to
    the fourth grade, just like they did!
[03:21] Izu
    Whoa, that means we'll be a family
    full of baseball players!
[03:25] Kao
    That's true! After all, I used to play, too.
[03:29] Izu
    You and Pop were a battery, weren't you?
[03:32] Kao
    Yeah, kinda.
[03:33] Izu
    Next year, I'll join the baseball
    team at my middle school.
[03:37] Dai
    Pop...
[03:40] Dai
    I wish I could play catch with Pop...
[03:47] Izu
    Ack! It's Gibson Jr.!
[03:48] Izu
    Go! Strike him out in three!
[03:51] Dai
    Keep it down, Sis. Haven't you
    already watched this countless times?
SIGN    Goro
[03:58] Kao
    Oh, it's your pop.
[04:01] Kao
    Hello?
[04:03] Gor
    Hey, it's done. I passed the tryouts.
[04:07] Gor
    I'll be playing in the Taiwanese league
    from next season!
[04:09] Kao
    R-Really? Congratulations!
[04:12] Kao
    Ah, and what else?
[04:14] Kao
    What? You're supposed to go join
    their training camp right away?!
[04:21] Gor
    All right, I'm off.
[04:23] Kao
    Don't overstretch yourself, you hear?
[04:25] Dai
    Give it everything you've got, Pop!
[04:26] Gor
    Right on!
[04:27] Izu
    Bring us presents when you come home.
[04:29] Gor
    Sure! You got it!
[04:31] Gor
    Oh, I almost forgot. This is for you, Daigo.
[04:35] Dai
    Huh? What is it?
[04:38] Dai
    A glove!
[04:39] Gor
    You're joining the Dolphins in April, right?
[04:42] Gor
    Let's race to see who
    becomes a regular first!
[04:46] Dai
    All right!
[04:47] Izu
    Not fair! I'm joining the baseball team
    at my middle school in April too, y'know.
[04:52] Gor
    I gave you one before...
[04:55] Izu
    It's in tatters now.
[04:56] Gor
    All right, all right. Next time, okay?
[04:59] Dai
    Pop, let's play catch!
[05:01] Gor
    Sounds good!
[05:03] Kao
    Your flight's leaving soon!
[05:07] Dai
    Pop, let's play catch when you come back!
SIGN    Shigeno
SIGN    Shigeno Goro makes the starting lineup in the Taiwanese league
[05:35] Kao
    Daigo, here's your towel.
[05:37] Dai
    Ah, right.
[05:38] Kao
    Have you got everything? Your glove?
[05:41] Dai
    It's in there.
[05:42] Kao
    Make sure to greet the manager
    and the coach properly.
[05:45] Kao
    They're your pop's old baseball buddies.
[05:48] Dai
    I will. I'm off!
[06:04] Dai
    So this is the Mifune Dolphins.
[06:07] Dai
    Today is my first step toward real baseball.
[06:10] Tas
    Gather round!
[06:13] Tas
    Let's introduce the new fourth graders who
    are joining the Mifune Dolphins this year.
[06:18] Tas
    State your school and your name.
[06:20] Kim
    Takami Grade School: Kimura!
[06:22] Ari
    Takami Grade School: Ariyoshi!
[06:24] Kis
    Takami Grade School: Kishimoto!
[06:26] Mats
    Yamamuro Grade School...
[06:27] Tas
    Hey, speak up!
[06:29] Mats
    Sorry.
[06:30] Mats
    Yamamuro Grade School: Matsubara!
[06:32] Nag
    Yamamuro Grade School: Nagai!
[06:34] Kat
    Yamamuro Grade School: Katsumoto!
[06:36] Tas
    All right! And last in line...
[06:37] Dai
    Yessir!
[06:39] Dai
    Mifune Grade School: Shigeno!
[06:42] Kid
    Huh? "Shigeno"?
[06:43] Kid2
    "Shigeno"? Could he be...
[06:45] Kid2
    Yes, that's right. Shigeno Daigo.
[06:48] Kid2
    He's the brother of Shigeno Izumi
    who was with us up until last year.
[06:51] Kid2
    Which means that he's
    the son of Shigeno Goro.
[06:53] Kid
    Oh, Izumi-san's brother...
[06:55] Kid2
    Shigeno the Second, huh?
[06:57] Kid3
    We've got a super rookie on our hands.
[07:00] Dai
    Pop really is a superstar.
[07:03] Tas
    As you're aware, Shigeno Goro started in
    Little League and made it to the top.
[07:10] Tas
    So follow his example, everyone!
[07:11] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:13] Tas
    All right, let's begin practice!
[07:14] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:16] Kid
    His dad went to the major leagues, you know.
[07:18] Kid2
    He was supposed to be
    really good as a kid, too.
[07:21] Kid3
    I bet his son's amazing, too.
[07:28] Tas
    All right. Newcomers up next!
[07:30] Tas
    We'll go in order.
[07:31] All
    Yes, sir!
[07:35] Tas
    Next!
[07:44] Kats
    I'm sorry.
[07:46] Tas
    Next. Daigo!
[07:47] Dai
    Yessir!
[07:50] Dai
    We've always been together.
[07:54] Dai
    Ever since I was born,
    I've always had baseball.
[07:58] Dai
    That's why...
[08:02] Dai
    I don't want to lose to anyone!
[08:20] Kid2
    Huh? It bounced again.
[08:22] ---
    Isn't that pretty average
    for a fourth grader?
[08:26] Tas
    Last one!
[08:34] Dai
    I-I'm sorry!
[08:37] Kid
    What's he doing?
[08:54] Dai
    Dammit...
[08:56] Dai
    I'll show them next time!
[09:03] Tas
    We're going to assess which positions
    you have an affinity for.
[09:06] Tas
    Does anyone have a preference?
[09:10] Dai
    Yes! I'd like to be a pitcher!
[09:13] Tas
    Daigo? Well, I guess both your
    dad and sister were pitchers.
[09:18] Tas
    All right. Give it a try.
[09:20] Dai
    Yes, sir!
[09:25] Tas
    All right, show me what you got.
[09:27] Dai
    I've practiced my pitching a lot.
[09:29] Dai
    Especially my control.
[09:46] Dai
    All right, that'll do.
[09:49] Dai
    All your pitches were strikes.
    Your control is great.
[09:53] Dai
    However, Daigo... it's too soon for
    you to be pitching, I'm afraid.
[09:58] Dai
    Huh?
[10:00] Tas
    I noticed it when you were throwing
    during the defense drill, too.
[10:03] Tas
    Right now, your shoulder isn't very strong.
[10:06] Tas
    Even compared to other kids your age.
[10:10] Tas
    I understand why you want to do it,
    but for now, don't insist on pitching.
[10:13] Tas
    Work on building up your muscles instead.
[10:16] Tas
    You'll still have time to
    become a pitcher after that.
[10:18] Dai
    B-But...
[10:22] Mat
    U-Um...
[10:24] Mat
    I've always played pitcher at school, so if possible, I'd like to try that...
[10:29] Tas
    Really? All right, try pitching some.
[10:32] Mat
    Yes, sir!
[10:34] Tas
    Not bad at all.
[10:36] Tas
    Try throwing it without
    tensing up. Just relax.
[10:39] Mat
    Yes, sir!
[10:43] Tas
    Nice one.
[10:51] Tas
    All right, Kimura. Nice swing.
[10:53] Kim
    Thank you.
[10:55] Kim
    Thank you very much!
[10:58] ---
    Let's do this.
[11:01] Kid
    I hear Shigeno the Second didn't make pitcher.
[11:04] Kid2
    Really? Even though he's Shigeno Goro's son?
[11:09] Ref
    Strike!
[11:11] Tas
    Hey, Daigo! Keep your eyes on the ball!
[11:13] Kid3
    Being his son doesn't
    automatically make him good.
[11:16] Kid
    Izumi-san was amazing, though.
[11:25] All
    Thank you very much!
SIGN    Shigeno
[12:04] Kid
    Izumi-san was amazing, though.
[12:12] Kao
    Oh, Daigo?
[12:13] Kao
    Welcome home.
[12:16] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:17] Dai
    I'm going out again.
[12:18] Kao
    Going where?
[12:20] Dai
    Practice!
[12:22] Kao
    Daigo...
[12:28] Daigo
    Practice!
[12:31] Daigo
    If I practice, then I'm sure I'll...
[12:50] Dai
    If I work hard, I'm sure I can
    become as good as Pop!
[12:55] Dai
    I know I can!
[13:10] Dai
    Pop...
[13:11] (Flashback) Gor
    Let's race to see who
    becomes a regular first!
[13:21] Rig
    I've got it!
[13:23] All
    Nice one, right fielder!
[13:25] All
    One out! One out!
[13:26] All
    Defense! Defense!
[13:31] Izu
    I hope Daigo gets to play.
[13:33] Kao
    Me, too.
SIGN    Team
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Yamate
[13:40] All
    You can do it! You can do it!
[13:41] All
    Hit the ball! Hit the ball!
[13:42] All
    Turn it around!
[13:44] Tas
    Right. We're going to use a fourth
    grader to pinch hit for us!
[13:48] Tas
    Kimura, go!
[13:49] Kim
    Yes, sir!
[13:52] Ref
    Strike! Batter out!
[13:56] Tas
    Another one!
[13:57] Tas
    Daigo, go!
[14:00] Dai
    Yes, sir!
[14:01] Izu
    Daigo, you can do this!
[14:04] Dai
    This is my chance.
[14:06] Dai
    I'll hit this one
[14:08] Dai
    and make myself a regular!
[14:10] Dai
    Pop, I'll show them what
    Shigeno Goro the Second is made of!
[14:19] Ref
    Strike!
[14:25] Ref
    Foul!
[14:28] Dai
    I practiced every day.
[14:30] Dai
    I will hit it!
[14:41] Ref
    Strike! Batter out!
[14:44] Ref
    And that's game.
[14:55] Dai
    I'm sorry, Pop.
[14:58] Dai
    It looks like I'm mediocre at best.
[15:01] Dai
    I can never be like you.
SIGN    2 years later
[15:30] Tas
    Okay! Next, outfield!
[15:34] Kis
    Got it!
[15:36] Tas
    Okay!
[15:50] Fuj
    Hey, Tashiro!
[15:52] Fuj
    Isn't this thing amazing?
[15:55] Tas
    Fujii! What is that thing?
[15:57] All
    Wow.
[15:59] Tas
    I know I asked you to be coach,
    but I didn't tell you to buy a bus!
[16:05] Fuj
    Impressive, isn't it? It's our team bus.
[16:08] Kat
    It's got "Dolphins" written on it here.
[16:10] Kat
    Wow.
[16:12] Tas
    Hey! The team doesn't have
    the money for this!
[16:14] Fuj
    Don't worry. I wasn't the one who bought it.
[16:18] Tas
    Huh?
[16:20] Kao
    Hello.
[16:22] Kat
    Who's that?
[16:23] Mat
    I recognize her from somewhere...
[16:26] Mat
    Oh, it's Shigeno's mother!
[16:28] Kim
    It's Daigo's mother!
[16:30] Nag
    Oh, right. He used to be on
    the team back in fourth grade.
[16:32] Tas
    Great! Now we can play many more away games!
[16:35] All
    Yeah!
[16:36] Tas
    Let's all thank her!
[16:38] Tas
    All together now!
[16:39] All
    Thank you very much!
[16:43] Tas
    Hey, catch it in front! In front!
[16:46] Tas
    Okay, nice.
[16:47] Tas
    All right. Next.
[16:52] Fuj
    Seriously, thank you, Kaoru-chan.
[16:54] Fuj
    But are you sure about this?
[16:56] Kao
    It's fine, really!
[16:57] Kao
    Don't worry about it.
[16:59] Kao
    My husband's been saying
    he's wanted to do this since forever.
[17:05] Kao
    And since he plays in Taiwan,
    he barely gets to spend any time in Japan.
[17:10] Kao
    So he at least wants to help out
    the baseball-mad kids in the area this way.
[17:16] Kao
    That way, he can find the strength
    to keep fighting.
[17:21] Fuj
    Ah, I see.
[17:23] Fuj
    While he's at it, there's a baseball-mad
    old dude who could do with an import—
[17:26] Kao
    No chance.
[17:29] Fuj
    Anyway, how long is that baseball
    fanatic going to keep on playing?
[17:34] Kao
    I have no idea, either.
[17:37] Kao
    And given he's such a baseball fanatic,
[17:40] Kao
    why did his son quit the sport within a year?
[17:46] Fuj
    Daigo, huh?
[17:48] Fuj
    He joined a soccer team
    after he quit the Dolphins, right?
[17:52] Kao
    He quit that, too.
[17:54] Fuj
    Huh?
[17:56] Kao
    Seems like nothing sticks.
[18:00] Kao
    Maybe sports just aren't his bag.
[18:08] Izu
    I'm home.
[18:39] Izu
    Daigo, don't you have better things to do?
[18:45] Izu
    You want to go to Fuurin Middle
    like me, don't you?
[18:48] Izu
    You won't get in playing games!
[18:50] Dai
    I don't care.
[18:53] Dai
    I have no intention of
    going to a private school.
[18:56] Izu
    Are you serious?
[18:57] Izu
    You promised Mom you'd study hard and
    try to get into Fuurin if you quit soccer!
[19:03] Dai
    Yeah. I said I'd try, not that I'd get in.
[19:11] Dai
    What are you doing?! I hadn't saved yet!
[19:13] Izu
    I've had it with your crap!
[19:16] Izu
    What will it take for you to get serious?!
[19:19] Izu
    You gave up on baseball.
[19:20] Izu
    You gave up on soccer.
[19:22] Izu
    I figured you'd at least study,
    but you don't want to do that, either!
[19:25] Izu
    I don't particularly care what kind of
    life my brother ends up leading,
[19:29] Izu
    but shouldn't you try to live up to
    our parents' expectations for once?!
[19:42] Dai
    Must be so nice to be you, Sis...
[19:47] Dai
    You don't understand what it's like!
[19:49] Dai
    You're good at baseball,
    and you've got good grades.
[19:52] Dai
    All your life, you've easily
    met their expectations.
[19:56] Dai
    What could you possibly
     understand about me?!
[20:00] Izu
    Wow. I'm amazing.
[20:02] Dai
    That's how you interpret it?!
[20:04] Izu
    Fine. Keep being emo like that forever.
[20:07] Izu
    This is too dumb for me.
[20:16] Dai
    That stupid cow.
[20:21] Dai
    Dammit...
[20:25] Dai
    In reality, I'd like to...
[20:32] Rik
    Hey, Mutsuko...
[20:34] Rit
    Yeah, I heard.
[20:36] Rit
    They've replaced tomorrow's pudding
    with mozuku seaweed, right?
[20:40] Rik
    No, not that.
[20:42] Rik
    Apparently, the transfer student
    who's joined Class 4 is a real hunk.
[20:47] Rik
    He's tall, he used to live abroad,
    and he's fluent in English!
[20:51] Rits
    That kind of thing
    doesn't really interest me.
[20:56] Rik
    Hey! Shigeno-kun!
[20:57] Rik
    Where do you think you're going?
    You're on cleaning duty, too!
[21:01] Dai
    Oh, really?
[21:03] Rik
    Don't play dumb with me.
[21:05] Rik
    Now, go get a dustpan.
[21:06] Dai
    Quit being a nag.
[21:08] Rik
    Maybe if you stop trying to ditch.
[21:11] Sat
    Excuse me, guys and gals...
[21:16] Sat
    I'm Satou Hikaru from Class 4.
[21:20] Rik
    Th-That's him! That's the guy!
     The transfer student!
[21:24] Hik
    Is the son of Shigeno Goro,
    the pro baseball player, in your class?
[21:30] Rik
    This would be him right here.
[21:34] Rik
    This is Shigeno Jr. AKA Daigo.
[21:36] Rit
    Riko...
[21:38] Hik
    Oh? You're Daigo-kun?
[21:41] Hik
    Nice to meet y—
[21:47] Dai
    Sorry, but I don't take requests
    for autographs and stuff.
[21:50] Dai
    Dad's not around, anyway.
    He's in Taiwan.
[21:53] Hik
    Huh?
[21:54] Hik
    Oh, man, you sure jumped to conclusions.
[21:59] Hik
    I didn't want your dad's autograph.
[22:03] Hik
    My papa's more famous, anyway.
[22:06] Dai
    What?!
[22:08] Rit
    "Papa"?
[22:10] Hik
    My papa has led the majors
     in homeruns before,
[22:13] Hik
    and he retired last year.
[22:15] Hik
    I'm sure you've heard of him. Satou Toshiya.
[22:21] Dai
    Th-The son of Satou Toshiya,
    the man Pop won the World Series with?
[24:01] Dai
    Satou Toshiya's son?
[24:03] Dai
    He's a "second" like me,
    but I bet he's good at baseball.
[24:08] Dai
    Just leave me alone!
[24:10] Dai
    I will never play baseball!
[24:14] Dai
    I will never play in a game!
[24:15] Dai
    Never, ever!
SIGN    If I Wasn't the Second
[24:18] Dai
    Next time: "If I Wasn't the Second."
[24:20] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
