[03:11] Kao     You're right. [03:12] Kao     They were huge rivals     up until high school, though. [03:15] Dai     Wow.

[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.!

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.

[22:03] Hik     My papa's more famous, anyway. [22:06] Dai     What?! [22:08] Rit     "Papa"?
