[00:01] Mom
    Hey, Daigo! How long are you
    going to spend in that bathroom?
SIGN    The Summer Tournament Begins!
[00:04] Mom
    The team bus is here.
[00:11] Mom
    I'm really sorry about this, Mutsuko-chan.
[00:13] Mus
    It's fine.
[00:16] Mom
    Is your stomach acting up again?
[00:18] Mom
    This happens every time
    you take part in some event.
[00:21] Mom
    Are you okay?
[00:22] Dai
    I'm fine. I'm fine.
[00:23] Dai
    I'm empty now, pretty much.
[00:28] Dai
    Uh, what are you doing?
[00:29] Mus
    Oh, you know!
[00:31] Mus
    We have a match soon and all...
[00:34] Mom
    Good luck!
[00:35] Mom
    I'll be on the sidelines, cheering for you!
[00:38] Dai
    Right.
[00:39] Dai
    Then, I'm off!
[00:44] Dai
    We're finally underway.
[00:46] Dai
    Kanagawa's prelims for
    the National Tournament!
[02:24] Tas
    All right.
[02:25] Tas
    I'm going to announce our starting lineup.
[02:28] All
    Yes, sir!
[02:29] Tas
    Batting first, shortstop, Kimura.
[02:31] Mot
    Yes, sir!
[02:34] Tas
    Batting second, right field,
[02:36] Tas
    Shigeno.
[02:39] Dai
    I-I'm second in the order?
[02:43] Tas
    Batting third, pitcher, Urabe!
[02:46] Ura
    Yep.
[02:48] Tas
    Batting fourth, catcher, Andy.
[02:50] And
    Yes, sir.
[02:51] Tas
    Batting fifth, third base, Ariyoshi.
[02:53] Aru
    Yes, sir!
[02:54] Tas
    Batting sixth, left field, Kishimoto.
[02:56] Shi
    Yes, sir!
[02:57] Tas
    Batting seventh, first base, Matsubara.
[02:59] Mat
    Yes, sir!
[03:00] Tas
    Batting eighth, center field, Nagai.
[03:02] Nag
    Yes, sir!
[03:03] Tas
    Batting ninth, second base, Katsumoto.
[03:05] Kat
    Yes, sir!
[03:06] Tas
    The subs are Tsuburaya,
    Takahashi, and Sakura.
[03:11] Tas
    That's everything.
[03:13] Nag
    Manager...
[03:14] Nag
    I usually bat second.
    How come I'm eighth this time?
[03:18] Tas
    Sorry, Nagai.
[03:20] Tas
    Based on his performances lately,
    I've decided to swap you and Shigeno.
[03:24] Voice
    Dolphins, please start your warm-up.
[03:27] All
    Yes, sir!
[03:30] Dai
    U-Uh, Manager...
[03:32] Dai
    You said I've performed well recently,
    but I can't suddenly hit top of the order.
[03:37] Tas
    Have faith in yourself, Daigo!
[03:39] Tas
    In the last two weeks, your fitness and
    technique have come on leaps and bounds.
[03:43] Tas
    I can tell.
[03:47] Tas
    And the other day, I had it confirmed
    that I wasn't just imagining it.
[03:50] Dai
    Huh?
[03:52] Tas
    You had him as your coach,
    and you've been training every day.
[03:57] Tas
    Don't worry.
[03:58] Tas
    Satou-san told us he's confident
    you'll do just fine in the two hole.
[04:03] Dai
    He said that?
[04:04] Tas
    Keep calm and play on.
[04:44] (Flashback) Tos
    That you're still registered as part
    of their team for the tournament.
[04:49] (Flashback) Tos
    According to the rules,
[04:51] (Flashback) Tos
    you can play in the matches as a member
    of the Dolphins, no matter where you live.
[04:55] (Flashback) Hik
    R-Really?!
[04:58] (Flashback) Hik
    I can really play in the tournament?
[05:01] (Flashback) Guy
    Yup.
[05:02] (Flashback) Guy
    Manager Tashiro said you
    should definitely go, too.
[05:07] (Flashback) Hik
    But I'm not going to.
[05:09] (Flashback) Hik
    By now, I'm an outsider...
[05:11] (Flashback) Hik
    It's not like I trained for very long
    with the team.
[05:16] (Flashback) Hik
    It wouldn't sit right if I just
    turned up for the tournament.
[05:19] (Flashback) Hik
    Nobody... wants that.
[05:25] Guy
    Guess he really didn't come.
[05:28] Coach
    Line up.
[05:29] All
    Let's do this!
[05:37] Andi
    A lefty. Not much more to say.
[05:39] Ura
    Yeah, his pitches are nothing special.
[05:51] Dai
    The two hole, huh?
[05:53] Dai
    I've never had the chance to hit
    in the very first inning before.
[05:58] Dai
    My stomach's okay, too.
[06:03] Dai
    All right!
[06:04] Dai
    All I have to do now is show off
    what I've been practicing.
[06:10] Ump
    Play ball!
[06:16] Ump
    Strike.
[06:19] Ura
    I can't even begin to imagine how
    you greased Manager's palms this time.
[06:24] Ump
    Ball.
[06:26] Ura
    First, right field, and now the two hole?
[06:28] Ura
    Damn, wish I'd been born
    the son of a rich baseball player.
[06:33] Dai
    This again?
[06:34] Dai
    Give it a rest.
[06:36] Dai
    I haven't done anything, and the manager
    wouldn't let us influence his lineups.
[06:41] Ura
    I wonder.
[06:43] Ura
    I'm saying that if I were manager
    and saw your folks donate that bus,
[06:48] Ura
    even I would feel obliged to
    put you in the starting lineup.
[06:54] Kid
    It got through!
[07:00] Kid
    Awesome! A double!
[07:01] Coach
    Nice! No outs, and a runner on second!
[07:03] Coach
    This is our chance to pull ahead!
[07:05] Fuj
    We're counting on you, Daigo!
[07:06] Mut
    You got this, Shigeno-kun!
[07:13] Tas
    I really would like to take the lead here.
[07:15] Tas
    If we can get the runner to third,
    Urabe or Andy will bring him home for sure.
[07:21] Tas
    Bunt, Daigo.
[07:27] Ump
    Play!
[07:27] Tas
    Hey, Daigo!
[07:29] Tas
    What the hell? He's not
    watching for our signs!
[07:31] Mut
    Huh?
[07:33] Dai
    Damn it!
[07:35] Dai
    Stop saying I'm riding
    on Pop's coattails!
[07:38] Dai
    Right...
[07:40] Dai
    I'll show you that I'm a regular on merit!
[07:52] Ump
    Foul!
[07:54] Tas
    Timeout!
[07:59] Tas
    You idiot!
[08:00] Dai
    E-Excuse me?
[08:02] Tas
    Didn't you see my sign?
[08:03] Dai
    Huh?
[08:04] Tas
    I gave you the signal for a sacrifice bunt!
[08:07] Dai
    Huh? Ah, sorry.
[08:09] Tas
    Pull yourself together.
[08:11] Dai
    Y-Yes, sir.
[08:13] Dai
    Damn it.
[08:14] Dai
    I was so angry at Urabe that
    I ignored instructions.
[08:21] Dai
    That wasn't the time to
    take a swing at the ball.
[08:24] Tas
    Another sacrifice bunt.
[08:28] Ump
    Play.
[08:32] Dai
    When the runner's on second,
[08:35] Dai
    the bunt has to be a bit stronger,
    so the third baseman has to run to get it.
[08:41] Dai
    Huh?
[08:43] All
    He missed?!
[08:44] Tas
    Kimura, get back!
[08:46] Kim
    Seriously?!
[08:48] Ump
    Safe!
[08:49] Kim
    That was close.
[08:51] Fuj
    See, I told you. It's too soon
    to put Daigo in at second.
[08:56] Fuj
    He's got two strikes against him.
     Just let him swing.
[09:01] Fuj
    What?!
[09:02] Dai
    Another bunt?!
[09:04] Tas
    If I was going to lose faith so easily,
    I wouldn't have put him in the two hole.
[09:08] Tas
    I made my decision because
     I believe Daigo's up for the task.
[09:12] Tas
    If my plan fails, I'll just have to
    apologize to Daigo and the team.
[09:19] Ump
    Play!
[09:26] Dai
    Manager believes in me.
[09:31] Dai
    I'm not riding on Pop's coattails.
[09:33] Dai
    He's put me in the two hole because
    he's seen how I've engaged with baseball.
[09:38] Pit
    Hey, now...
[09:39] Pit
    You didn't even touch the last one,
    and you're bunting with one strike left?
[09:50] Ump
    Ball!
[09:54] Tos
    Yup. He's calmed down now.
[09:57] Tos
    That's it.
[09:58] Tos
    You've been tracking a lot of pitches
    with your eyes and your body.
[10:04] Tos
    All you've done is swapped the mitt for a bat.
[10:06] Tos
    All these balls should
    be child's play for you.
[10:15] All
    He did it!
[10:18] Guy
    Third!
[10:18] Guy
    Wait! Let it go! If it's a foul, he's out!
[10:23] Dai
    Huh?
[10:29] Eag
    It's a foul!
[10:30] Ump
    Fair!
[10:31] Kim
    All right!
[10:33] Ump
    It touched the base before
    going out, so it's a fair ball!
[10:35] Tas
    All right!
[10:36] Fuj
    That was close.
[10:37] Kis
    Sweet! He made it to first, too!
[10:38] Mat
    No outs, runners on first and third!
[10:40] Mut
    Nice, Shigeno-kun!
[10:43] Dai
    Whew, what a relief.
[10:44] Tos
    He was living life on the edge,
    but all in all, a nice bunt.
[10:47] Kao
    Oh, Satou-san!
[10:49] Tos
    Oh, hello.
[10:51] Kao
    You're here, too?
[10:52] Tos
    You've already missed
    Daigo-kun's first at bat.
[10:56] Tos
    He's batting second today.
[10:57] Kao
    What?
[10:58] Tos
    His sacrifice bunt turned into
    a regular hit, and he made it on base.
[11:02] Kao
    Really? Not bad, Daigo!
[11:06] Ump
    Play!
[11:08] Ura
    Hmph. A lucky hit and he starts fist-pumping?
[11:12] Ura
    Talk about "suck-ond" generation.
[11:14] Ura
    I'll show you what a first-generation
    genius can do with a bat.
[11:19] Dai
    On the first pitch, there's no chance
    for a squeeze or a hit-and-run.
[11:22] Dai
    The other team is geared up
    to stop us getting any runners home.
[11:33] Dai
    Huh?
[11:35] All
    What?!
[11:37] Fuj
    What the hell is he doing?!
[11:40] Dai
    Oh, crap!
[11:42] Kao
    Oh, boy.
[11:44] Tos
    I didn't teach him to watch out
    for pickoffs by lefty pitchers.
[11:50] Dai
    I have no choice but to make a run for second!
[11:55] Dai
    And back!
[11:57] Dai
    It's over!
[11:58] Eag
    Home!
[11:59] Eag2
    Back home!
[12:02] Kim
    I'm not going to make it.
[12:06] Ump
    Safe!
[12:07] Mut
    All right!
[12:08] Mut
    We took the lead!
[12:09] Tas
    Nice running, Kimura!
[12:11] Dai
    Kimura, nice running!
[12:13] Fuj
    What?!
[12:16] Fuj
    Why isn't that idiot on second base?!
[12:18] Dai
    "Idiot"? Huh?
[12:21] Dai
    Oh.
[12:22] Kao
    Sheesh, what's that kid doing?
[12:24] Tos
    Baserunning's all about experience.
[12:27] Tos
    The kid who made it home
    has matches under his belt,
[12:29] Tos
    and made a good call.
[12:30] Kao
    But wasn't it quite a risky steal?
[12:33] Tos
    In junior baseball, the kids
    make plenty of mistakes.
[12:36] Tos
    In general, risky plays are fine.
[12:40] Ump
    Play!
[12:41] Dai
    I'll stay closer to the base this time.
[12:44] Ura
    That moron.
[12:45] Ura
    He ruined my chance to bring a runner home.
[12:49] Ura
    Sticking that loser second in the order...
    I bet Manager really
was bribed!
[12:57] Fuj
    All right, good hit into center field.
[12:58] Fuj
    Nice!
[13:00] Eag
    Second!
[13:07] Ump
    Out!
[13:09] Tas
    Thrown out from center field?
[13:14] Kao
    No way.
[13:15] Tos
    Because of his mistake earlier,
    he stood closer to his base.
[13:19] Tos
    And he didn't get a very good jump, either.
[13:24] Ura
    IQ, you know? It's about IQ.
[13:26] Ura
    Get it into your skull already.
    You have no baseball IQ.
[13:30] Ura
    Just tell 'em you twisted your ankle
[13:32] Ura
    and sit out the rest of the game
    on the bench, rich boy.
[13:35] Ura
    Before you cause even more
    trouble for the team.
[13:41] Ump
    Play!
[13:48] Mut
    Shigeno-kun...
[13:54] Ump
    Out!
[13:57] Ump
    Out!
[13:58] Ump
    Three outs! Change sides!
[13:59] Fuj
    Ah, man! A double play!
[14:01] Mut
    Aw.
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Tanikawa
[14:03] Kao
    So we only scored one run in the end.
[14:05] Kao
    If only Daigo hadn't made a hash of it...
[14:07] Tos
    It's only the first inning.
[14:09] Tos
    There's still plenty of chances
    for Daigo-kun to turn things around.
[14:14] Mut
    Let's go, defense!
[14:16] Tas
    Sakura!
[14:17] Mut
    Yes?
[14:20] Dai
    I've really done it now.
[14:23] Dai
    What am I doing?
[14:26] Dai
    The only thing I pulled off
    was that sacrifice bunt.
[14:29] Dai
    I missed signs, got caught out by a pickoff
    attempt, and got thrown out from center.
[14:34] Dai
    Maybe I really don't have any baseball IQ.
[14:37] Mut
    Shigeno-kun!
[14:43] Dai
    Of course. I'm being switched out.
[14:47] Dai
    Okay, I'll leave the rest to you.
[14:49] Dai
    Huh? Where are you going?
[14:52] Dai
    Your hat, your hat!
[14:53] Dai
    Manager asked if you were gonna
    field wearing your helmet.
[14:55] Dai
    Oh!
[14:56] Dai
    I'm not being swapped out?
[14:58] Mut
    Swapped out? For me?
[15:00] Mut
    What are you talking about?
[15:01] Mut
    Of course not! It's only the first inning.
[15:04] Dai
    But, I mean, I screwed up so much...
[15:07] Mut
    What? You want to be swapped out?
[15:09] Mut
    I'll take your place.
[15:10] Mut
    I want to play, too.
[15:16] Dai
    N-No, I'll play.
[15:20] Mut
    Oh, yeah, message from Manager.
[15:24] Mut
    "Make as many mistakes as you like.
[15:26] Mut
    But if I see any halfhearted plays
    because you're afraid of messing up,
[15:29] Mut
    you'll be out in a heartbeat," he says!
[15:56] Dai
    What's important is to not
    dwell on your mistakes.
[16:01] Ump
    Play!
[16:10] And
    Right!
[16:17] Dai
    It's true.
[16:19] Dai
    I never had any baseball IQ.
[16:25] Ump
    Out!
[16:29] Dai
    All I need to do is go after the balls!
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Tanikawa
[16:45] Fuj
    This is our chance!
[16:46] Mut
    Knock it out of the park, Shigeno-kun!
[16:57] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
[16:58] Ump
    Change sides!
[17:15] Ura
    What do you want?
[17:18] Dai
    Sorry! Next time,
    I'll definitely make it count!
[17:21] Dai
    Let's banish it from our minds.
    I'm counting on you and your pitches!
[17:29] Ura
    What makes you think
    you can say that to me?
[17:31] Ura
    Trash like you shouldn't be touching
    my golden right shoulder.
[17:38] Mut
    Here you go.
[17:40] Dai
    Thanks.
[17:46] Dai
    I'm not gonna let every
    little detail get me down.
[17:48] Dai
    I need to just focus on the next play.
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Tanikawa
[17:54] Ura
    Well, I'm pitching a perfect game so far.
[17:56] Ura
    At this rate, against this team,
[17:59] Ura
    one run should be plenty!
[18:03] Ump
    Strike! Out!
[18:05] Ump
    Batter out!
[18:08] Ump
    Out! Change sides!
[18:09] Fuj
    Nice pitching, Urabe!
[18:12] And
    Don't you think you're overdoing it?
[18:15] And
    If you try to protect our
    one-run lead at all costs,
[18:18] And
    you'll be exhausted by the later innings.
[18:20] Ura
    Nah, I'm only throwing at
    70 per cent right now.
[18:23] Ura
    Anyway, let's go get some more runs.
[18:27] Tas
    Following Urabe's hit and Andy's double,
    we had runners on second and third.
[18:31] Tas
    It was a great chance,
    but now we're on two outs.
[18:36] Fuj
    Letting this kind of opportunity go begging
    shifts the momentum to the other team.
[18:40] Dai
    Go, Matsubara!
[18:42] Mut
    Please hit it.
[18:47] Ump
    Out!
[18:48] Ura
    Damn it. No matter how well
    Andy and I hit, the rest can't follow up.
[18:52] Ura
    Guess I can't bank on us
    getting any more runs.
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Tanikawa
[18:56] Ura
    So I've got no choice
    but to protect our lead.
[19:09] Fuj
    Ack, they finally got a runner.
[19:13] Kat
    S-Sorry! My bad.
[19:15] Ura
    Damn it. I had a perfect game going.
[19:18] Ura
    Guess I can't get one with this defense.
[19:20] Ura
    At least I'm still throwing a no-hitter.
[19:27] Ura
    Sweet. That one's in the bag.
[19:31] Nag
    Got it!
[19:32] Kis
    Got it!
[19:35] Tas
    What?!
[19:35] Fuj
    Who says "got it" and lets it go?!
[19:39] Eag
    Yeah! Our first hit!
[19:40] Eag
    One out, runners on first and second!
[19:41] Eag
    This is our chance to catch up!
[19:43] Ura
    How did that turn into a hit?
[19:45] Ura
    The way he hit it, he's getting
    caught out all day long!
[19:52] Ump
    Play!
[19:53] Ura
    Guess this game's going
    the same way as all the rest.
[19:59] Ump
    Ball!
[20:00] Ump
    Ball!
[20:02] Ump
    Ball!
[20:04] Ump
    Ball!
[20:05] Ump
    Ball four!
[20:06] Guy
    Yes! Bases loaded!
[20:11] Kao
    Oh dear, that's bad.
[20:13] Tos
    They're in a tight spot.
[20:16] And
    Timeout, please.
[20:17] And
    Damn it!
[20:19] And
    Don't sweat it. Calm down, Urabe.
[20:22] Ura
    I know!
[20:23] Ura
    I know, but it's pissing me off
    how bad our defense still is!
[20:27] Ura
    And there I was, pitching a perfect game!
[20:31] And
    Maybe you haven't improved
    as much as you think, either.
[20:34] Ura
    What?
[20:35] And
    Up to now, you've always gone to pieces
    when your teammates have made errors.
[20:39] And
    You want to continue the pattern
    and lose again?
[20:44] And
    Remember why we joined
    Mifune in the first place.
[20:48] And
    Blaming our teammates won't get us anywhere.
[20:58] (Flashback) And
    What? You're quitting the Touto Boys?
[21:00] (Flashback) Ura
    Yes.
[21:01] (Flashback) And
    But why, Tobecchi?
[21:03] (Flashback) And
    We promised each other
    we'd always play baseball together.
[21:07] (Flashback) Ura
    I'm sorry, but it's not like
    I'm quitting baseball altogether.
[21:10] (Flashback) Ura
    I'm joining my local team, the Dolphins.
[21:12] (Flashback) And
    Huh? Why?
[21:13] (Flashback) And
    The Dolphins are ultra weak right now.
[21:16] (Flashback) And
    If you play for them, you'll never
    win and it'll suck big time.
[21:21] (Flashback) Ura
    I know that.
[21:23] (Flashback) Ura
    But I can't keep playing for the Touto Boys.
[21:26] (Flashback) Ura
    As long as he's there,
    I'll never be the ace.
[21:29] (Flashback) Ura
    I want to join another team and defeat him.
[21:33] (Flashback) And
    Oh, so that's why.
[21:36] (Flashback) And
    Then, I'll come with you to the Dolphins.
[21:38] (Flashback) Uraa
    Huh?
[21:41] And
    We made a promise back then, didn't we?
[21:44] And
    That we'd always play baseball together.
[21:58] Fuj
    Fly ball, right field!
[22:00] Guy
    All right! A sacrifice fly!
[22:02] Guy2
    Amazing! That means we're even!
[22:03] And
    They got us.
[22:05] And
    Of course they'd send it out
    to the guy with the weak arm.

[22:07] Ura
    Bastards!
[22:08] Ura
    This is why I was against
    making that loser a regular!
[22:13] Tos
    Here it is. His time to shine.
[22:15] Kao
    Huh?
[22:17] ---
    Go!
[22:19] Tos
    Please watch how much he has grown.
[24:00] Dai
    The Dolphins are in the lead.
[24:03] Dai
    But up to now, it's essentially been only
    Andy and Urabe who've done anything.
[24:07] Dai
    Seems like Urabe's getting tired,
    so the defense needs to stay sharp!
[24:12] Dai
    Just watch. I'll show you the fruits
    of my training with Satou-san!
[24:17] Dai
    Next time: "Now I've Done It!"
SIGN    Now I've Done It!
[24:20] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
