**[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!
