    We lost...
[00:06] Mut
    No...
[00:08] Ani
    The tournament's over for us...
[00:19] Tea
    Let the tears flow.
[00:20] Tea
    Let it all out.
[00:22] Tea
    It's okay to cry when you're upset.
[00:24] Tea
    Cry your heart out, and then you can
    rise again tomorrow with a smile!
[00:30] All

[00:32] All
    Sensei!
[00:40] Yam
    Thank goodness their run
    ended in the morning!
[00:43] Yam
    The rain's stopped too, so maybe I'll finally
    get to go shopping this afternoon.
[00:48] Dai
    Sensei.

[00:59] Tea
    Oh, right. Impressive.
[01:01] Tea
    So... we're in the final?
[01:03] Dai
    Yes, we'll watch Eihou's game
    while we eat lunch,
[01:07] Dai
    then it's the final this afternoon.
[01:09] Yam
    G-Got it.
[01:13] Dai
    Please don't go home.
[01:15] Yam
    Crap. He knows I couldn't care less.
[02:49] Nis
    Man, I seriously didn't see that one coming.
SIGN    An Unexpected Reunion
[02:51] Nis
    I mean, Sekitori causing the upset?
[02:54] Nis
    Who knew this mystery heavy
    hitter was a southpaw killer?
[02:57] Nis
    Even the Yokozuna Deliberation Committee
    wouldn't have foreseen that one.

[03:12] Coa
    Oh, it's the Fuurin team.
[03:14] Coa
    Nice game. We were watching.
    Congrats on getting to the final.
[03:18] Dai
    Oh, uh, thank you very much.
[03:21] Coa
    Doing that with only nine players,
    six of whom are girls, is quite something.
[03:25] Coa
    Amazing, even.
[03:26] Coa
    Are you the captain?
[03:28] Dai
    Yes.
[03:30] Coa
    I heard Fuurin didn't have a coach,
[03:33] Coa
    which makes getting to the
    final even more impressive.
[03:36] Coa
    We still have to get through
    our semi-final game,
[03:39] Coa
    but if we win, I look forward
    to a good game against you guys.
[03:42] Dai
    R-Right! We're looking forward to it, too!
[03:45] Coa
    Well, we'd better get going.
[03:47] Dai
    Bye!
[03:49] Tao
    That coach was friendly, wasn't he?
[03:51] Tao
    I expected the coach of a
    powerhouse to be much scarier.
[03:54] Yay
    He's the Jekyll and Hyde type, silly.
    Nice off the field, total hard-ass in training.
[03:58] Tao
    Yikes, scary.
[04:00] Chi
    It's nice the rain stopped, though.
[04:03] Ani

    They said they were going outside the park
    to practice for a bit, since the rain's stopped.
[04:29] Mut
    Apparently, that's more important
    than watching another Eihou game.
[04:34] Dai
    Yeah, this patch of dirt will do.
    Try pitching from here.
[04:38] Nis
    Why? It's still two hours till the game.
[04:41] Nis
    It's way too early to warm up.
[04:44] Dai
    This isn't a warm-up.
[04:46] Dai
    We're going to hatch a plan
    to rein in Eihou's batters.
[04:50] Dai
    Since it was raining yesterday,
    I didn't get to see your pitches.
[04:55] Dai
    Your fastballs are great, but that
    won't be enough to beat Eihou.
[04:59] Dai
    A pitcher needs another type of pitch
    to make his fastballs more effective.
[05:03] Nis
    Another type?
[05:05] Dai
    It can just be for show.
[05:06] Dai
    Let's find a breaking ball you're
    comfortable with before the game begins.

[05:28] Dai
    G-Good. Well, we've confirmed
    that it breaks.
[05:32] Dai
    Let's try that one more time.
[05:35] Nis
    Here we... go!
[05:40] Dai
    Okay! Okay!
[05:41] Dai
    Let's forget sliders for now
    and try a curveball.
[05:48] Mut
    Doesn't this seem... a bit weird?
[05:51] Ump
    Strike!
[05:52] Tao
    Yeah, something's off, all right.
[05:54] Yayo
    Maybe we should go fetch Professor Daigo.
[06:02] Nis
    Oh, huh. You're not wearing your cup, Senpai?
[06:06] Mut
    Oh, there you are, Daigo!
[06:09] Mut

[06:28] Nis
    Oobi Middle is a public school that
    always loses in the first or second round.
[06:34] Dai
    Does this mean Oobi's got a good pitcher?
[06:41] Ump
    Strike!
[06:43] Nis
    Their starting pitcher's
    small but that's fast.
[06:47] Mut
    That isn't their starting pitcher.
    That's the reliever.
[06:51] Mut
    Their first pitcher is
    the guy playing shortstop.
[06:55] Mut
    He also has a fastball that's no joke,
    and he didn't give up a run in three innings.
[07:00] Mut
    With that catcher who got two RBIs,
[07:04] Mut
    those three make up an elite trio who used to
    play with Yayoi and Tao on Yokohama Little.
[07:09] Nis
    What?
[07:11] Ump
    You're out!

    But I'm going to join my middle school
    baseball team and make a comeback.
[11:04] (Flashback) Dai
    Yeah.
[11:05] (Flashback) Dai
    But since you're in Gunma and I'm in Kanagawa,
    we're not exactly gonna see each other.
[11:10] (Flashback) Hik
    That's not true.
[11:12] (Flashback) Hik
    Sure, we're in different prefectures,
[11:14] (Flashback) Hik
    but if we keep winning, we'll see each other
    at the Kanto Regionals or at Nationals.
[11:18] (Flashback) Hik
    We might end up becoming rivals, though.
[11:21] (Flashback) Dai
    Yeah. You're right.
[11:24] (Flashback) Hik
    As long as we keep playing
    baseball, we will meet again.
[11:28] (Flashback) Hik
    And it's not just us.
[11:32] (Flashback) Hik
    Mutsuko-chan, Urabe-kun, Andy,
    and the Mayumura twins...
[11:37] (Flashback) Hik
    As long as we love baseball and
    keep playing it under the same sky,
[11:41] (Flashback) Hik
    we're guaranteed to meet again.
[11:45] (Flashback) Hik
    So let's carry on loving baseball forever.
[11:49] (Flashback) Dai
    Yeah!
[11:50] (Flashback) Hik
    And then, we'll get there.
[11:52] (Flashback) Dai
    Yeah, we'll form...

    Well, I bet she'll find out just how hard
    real baseball is and run home crying.
[13:06] Guy
    What are you aiming at?
[13:10] Ide
    What do ya think? My slider's
    gotten even better, hasn't it?
[13:14] Uoz
    I guess.
[13:16] Sei
    What are you pitching for?
    You're in the outfield.
[13:20] Ide
    I'm just messing about, chill.
[13:22] Ide
    Anyway, switching to pitcher in
    Senior League sounds like a plan.
[13:26] Ide
    That way, me being a leftie might pay off.
[13:28] ---
    What?
[13:31] Sei
    Looks like my fastball's faster than yours.
[13:34] Sei
    I think I'd make a better pitcher.
[13:36] Ide
    Huh? But you're a shortstop.
[13:38] Ide
    Uozumi, come with me.
[13:40] Ide
    Come catch Mayumura's pitches.
[13:43] Uoz
    Yes, sir.
[13:47] Coa
    Okay, let's see it.
[13:49] Ide
    All right, let's see the
    rubber-ball ace's pitches.
[14:09] Sei
    They're fast.
[14:12] Uzo
    They're not just fastballs, either.
[14:14] Uzo
    She's got a variety of pitches,
    and her control's good, too.
[14:21] Zei
    I never expected her to be that good.
[14:24] Zei
    Now you've seen that, it's probably best
    you forget about becoming a pitcher.
[14:28] Ide
    Shut up.
[14:30] Ide
    Same goes for you.
[14:31] Uzo
    Hm, I'm not so sure about that.
[14:34] Uzo
    Mayumura and you guys have different styles,
    so if you pitched one after another,
[14:38] Uzo
    you'd keep the other team's batters
    off-balance the entire game.
[14:42] Ide
    You really believe that?
[14:43] Sei
    I see. Sounds like that
    could be quite interesting.
[14:53] Ide
    We go to the same school?
[14:55] Uoz
    Looks like.
[15:02] Coa
    All right, next.
[15:04] Ide
    Thanks!

[16:05] Ide
    How's that even possible?
[16:06] Ide
    Was she really playing rubber-ball?
[16:09] Sei
    It's true.
[16:10] Sei
    The Touto Boys' Mayumura twins were famous.
[16:14] Uoz
    Just admit it.
[16:16] Uoz
    We were wrong to underestimate her.
[16:21] Mic
    Hey, you guys.
[16:26] Mic
    Our next practice is on the
    south field. Where is it exactly?
[16:31] Mic
    You used it a lot when you
    were in Yokohama Little, right?
[16:36] Uoz
    Yeah, it's about 500 meters
    from our usual field.
[16:40] Sei
    It's a straight shot. You can't miss it.
[16:44] Mic
    I see. Thank you.

[16:49] Uoz
    Why did you switch from
    rubber-ball to Senior League?

    There's just no one else here
    to talk about baseball with.
[17:48] Mic
    Huh.
[17:50] Uoz
    We were talking about hitting
    the batting cages on our way home.
[17:53] Uoz
    Wanna tag along?
[17:55] Mic
    That's unexpected.
[17:57] Mic
    I figured you thought I sucked
    because I used to play rubber-ball.
[18:00] Uoz
    Yeah, we did.
[18:03] Uoz
    Until we saw you pitch, that is.
[18:06] Ide
    I mean, you can't deny your own eyes.
[18:08] Sei
    Exactly.
[18:13] Ide
    Man, it must be nice, though.
[18:15] Ide
    Your ex-Major League dad
    is coaching you, right?
[18:18] Mic
    Nope, I haven't learned
    a single thing from my dad.
[18:24] Uoz
    Oh, really?
[18:26] Sei
    But isn't it nice to have someone
    you want to emulate so close by?
[18:30] Mic
    The pitcher I want to
    emulate is Shigeno Goro!
[18:34] Mic
    That's been true since
    the day I started playing.
[18:36] Uoz
    Shigeno Goro? That's unexpected.
[18:39] Ide
    Wait, shouldn't it still be your
    dad who inspired you to play?
[18:52] Uoz
    Nice ball!
[18:54] Ide
    Michiru's making some serious sounds.
[18:56] Sei
    I think she got faster again.
[18:59] Cao
    Michiru, can I have a word?
[19:02] Mic
    Yes?
[19:06] Mic
    What do you mean, Coach?
[19:08] Coa
    I know you've worked really hard
    this last year since you joined us.
[19:13] Coa
    But you're a girl.
[19:16] Coa
    Basically, I don't consider
    you an asset to the team.
[19:21] Mic
    You don't consider me... an asset?
[19:25] Coa
    You might be on the same level as the
    boys right now, but it won't stay that way.
[19:29] Coa
    From here on out, the guys
    will pull ahead of you physically.
[19:34] Coa
    That's just the way it is.
[19:37] Mic
    No...
[19:39] Coa
    I'm sorry, Michiru.
[19:50] Wat
    Is it true you quit Yokohama Senior?
[19:54] Mic
    Wataru.
[19:57] Mic
    You heard about that, huh?
[20:00] Mic
    I was told I'm not an asset.
    What other choice did I have?
[20:04] Wat
    Are you going to quit baseball completely?
[20:08] Wat
    There are ways to continue playing,
    like going back to rubber-ball.
[20:13] Mic
    I can't think right now... about anything.

[20:39] Uoz
    Michiru!
[20:42] Ide
    You look bored.
[20:47] Uoz
    Wanna play baseball with us again?
[20:50] Ide
    Let's play rubber-ball, win everything,
[20:52] Ide
    and show that coach just how wrong he was!
[20:56] Mic
    You're kidding, right?
[20:57] Mic
    You left Senior?
[21:00] Mic
    Really?
[21:01] Mic
    Why would you do that?!
[21:03] Ide
    We just told you. To play baseball with you.
[21:08] Mic
    There was no reason for you guys to quit too!
[21:11] Mic
    You should go rejoin right now!
[21:13] Mic
    We don't want to.
[21:15] Mic
    We already made up our
    minds to play rubber-ball.
[21:20] Mic
    What? Why?
[21:23] Uoz
    You said it yourself.
[21:24] Sei
    We felt this way, we'd get "a truer baseball
    experience." That was it, wasn't it?
[21:29] Ide
    You're not gonna change our minds.
[21:31] Ide
    We have no intention of playing baseball
    on a team you're not a part of.
[21:39] Mic
    You guys...
[21:43] Mic
    You're so stupid.
[21:49] Mic
    Thank you.
[21:54] Uoz
    What's wrong, Michiru?
[21:56] Uoz
    You know him?
[21:57] Mic
    Oh, uh, yeah. Kinda.
[22:00] Uoz
    I see.
[22:04] Mic
    I won't lose!
[22:07] Dai
    I can't lose!
[22:10] Mic
    I need to repay those three
    for what they did for me,
[22:13] Mic
    going as far as leaving
    Senior to be on my team.
[22:16] Dai
    As captain, in order to make Fuurin
    Middle's baseball team the best team ever,
[22:21] Dai
    and to see Hikaru again, I need to do this!
[22:27] Both
    I'm going to win!
[22:27] Both
    I'm going to win!
[24:00] Dai
    Oobi Middle's good. With their ironclad
    defense, getting runs won't be easy.
[24:04] Nis
    Okay. So I just need to use my monstrous
    speed to get a perfect shutout, yeah?
[24:09] Dai
    The problems will come mid-game,
    when stamina starts running low.
[24:12] Dai
    Just rely on our fielders and throw strikes.
[24:15] Nis
    Don't ya worry, they won't hit
    a thing, so the fielders can relax.
SIGN    Torn Feelings
[24:20] Dai
    Next time: "Torn Feelings."
[24:22] Nis
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
