[00:01] Tas
    Good work, team!
SIGN    I Don't Want to Lose
[00:03] Tas
    It was a close battle, but you pulled through.
[00:06] Tas
    Getting into the third round
    is an amazing feat!
[00:10] Tas
    It'd be nice if we could savor
    this victory for a little longer,
SIGN    Mifune Dolphins
SIGN    Coach Fujii
SIGN    Mifune Dolphins
SIGN    Manager Tashiro
[00:13] Tas
    but our third-round match
    starts right after lunch.
[00:17] Tas
    Make sure you're ready for it!
[00:18] All
    Yes, sir!
[00:20] Dai
    Manager, who are we playing
    in our third-round game?
[00:24] Tas
    Whoever wins out of the Hongou Sharks
    and the Shimizu Iron Boys.
[00:27] Ura
    Do we have any data on either of them?
[00:31] Tas
    Nope!
SIGN    Suzuki Andy
SIGN    Urabe Hayato
[00:33] And
    I think it's reasonable to
    assume the Sharks will win.
[00:36] Ura
    Yeah.
[00:37] Sak
    You know of them?
[00:39] Ura
    We heard the name back
    when we were in Touto.
[00:41] And
    They tend to finish in
    the top four every year.
[00:47] Tas
    They started their second-round game
    the same time we did, over on Field B.
[00:50] Tas
    They might still be playing.
[00:52] Fuj
    Guess we can go over and
    see them in action, then.
[00:54] All
    Yeah!
[00:58] Gramp
    Daigo!
[01:02] Dai
    Gramps! Grandma!
[01:04] Dai
    Thanks for coming to watch me play.
[01:06] Gramp
    You were pretty good out there!
[01:08] Gram
    You played well, Dai-chan!
[01:10] Dai
    Y-You think so?
[01:13] Gramp
    We can't stay for your
    afternoon game, but go get 'em.
[01:16] Gramp
    Remember, the catcher is
    the linchpin of the team!
[01:18] Gram
    Do your best.
[01:20] Dai
    I will!
SIGN    Hongou
SIGN    Shimizu
[03:02] Tas
    11–0. They called the game in the fifth...
[03:06] Tas
    Due to the consecutive pitching
    restrictions, we won't face that pitcher,
[03:10] Tas
    but their offense will be a handful.
SIGN    Satou Hikaru
[03:13] Dai
    They were really good.
[03:15] Dai
    I don't think they'd hit
    Hikaru's pitches so easily, though.
[03:18] Ura
    Manager, who's our starting catcher
    going to be in our next game?
[03:24] Tas
    Good question.
[03:26] Tas
    How's your leg holding up, Andy?
[03:28] Tas
    We didn't get you batting last game,
    but running would be difficult, wouldn't it?
[03:33] Andy
    Yeah, probably.
[03:34] Ura
    Given our situation,
    we shouldn't care about base running.
[03:37] Ura
    We now know Shigeno isn't ready to start,
[03:40] Ura
    so you're our only hope.
[03:42] And
    That's all well and good, Urabe,
    but if my injury flares up again,
[03:46] And
    I won't be able to turn out against the
    Touto Boys next week even if we win today.
[03:52] And
    Satou will be our starting pitcher.
[03:54] And
    His catcher should be
    someone he works best with.
[04:01] Tas
    I agree.
[04:03] Tas
    We'll go with Satou and Shigeno
    as our battery in the third round.
[04:07] Tas
    I'm counting on you, Daigo!
[04:09] Dai
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Ariyoshi
[04:10] Ari
    If we win the next game,
    we're in the quarterfinals!
[04:13] Matsu
    Hey, we're pretty amazing, aren't we?
SIGN    Nagai
[04:14] Kish
    Maybe we should start
    bragging to our friends.
[04:18] Tas
    All right, team, start warming up!
[04:21] Kids
    Yes, sir!
[04:25] Nag
    Um, Manager?
[04:27] Tas
    Hm?
[04:28] Nag
    Can I... have a word?
[04:33] Nag
    You said you'd make sure
    I got some game time.
[04:37] Nag
    I didn't get to play at all in the last game.
[04:40] Tas
    I'm really sorry.
[04:41] Tas
    There wasn't a good time to swap you in.
[04:44] Nag
    But...
[04:45] Tas
    I do intend on starting you out in
    right field in our next game, though.
[04:50] Tas
    I'm counting on you, Nagai.
[04:52] Nag
    Ah, yes, sir!
[04:56] Fuj
    Hey, is that a good idea?
[04:58] Tas
    Sure.
[05:00] Tas
    It's not like I'm putting him in out of pity.
[05:03] Tas
    The Sharks have a strong offense,
    and when it comes to defending the outfield,
[05:06] Tas
    I actually have more faith in Nagai.
[05:09] Tas
    He never stopped putting in
     the hours in training, either.
[05:13] Tas
    Batting first, shortstop, Kimura.
[05:15] Txt
    Shortstop
SIGN    Kimura
[05:15] Kim
    Yes, sir!
[05:16] Tas
    Batting second, catcher, Shigeno.
[05:18] Dai
    Yes, sir!
[05:19] Tas
    Batting third, left field, Urabe.
[05:20] Ura
    Yes, sir.
[05:21] Tas
    Batting fourth, pitcher, Satou.
[05:23] Sat
    Yes, sir!
[05:24] Tas
    Batting fifth, third base, Ariyoshi.
[05:25] Are
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Center field
SIGN    Kishimoto
[05:26] Tas
    Batting sixth, center field, Kishimoto.
[05:28] Iwa
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Second base
SIGN    Katsumata
SIGN    First base
SIGN    Matsubara
[05:29] Tas
    Batting seventh, first base, Matsubara.
[05:31] Matsu
    Yes, sir!
[05:32] Tas
    Batting eighth, second base, Katsumata.
[05:34] Katsu
    Yes, sir!
[05:35] Tas
    Batting ninth, right field, Nagai.
[05:38] Nag
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Sakura Mutsuko
SIGN    Tsuburaya
SIGN    Takahashi
[05:39] Tas
    Sakura, Andy, Takahashi, and Tsuburaya
    make up our bench.
[05:42] Tas
    That's everything.
[05:43] Are
    Looks like you got in, Nagai.
[05:45] Katsu
    Awesome!
[05:47] Nag
    That's where real skills get you. Skills.
[05:50] Sak
    Huh?
[05:52] Tas
    Okay, fly balls coming up!
[05:55] Tas
    Center field!
[05:57] Iwa
    Got it!
[05:59] Nag
    Nice catch!
[06:01] Nag
    Just wait and see.
[06:03] Nag
    I'll show you that I'm way better
    than that beginner, Sakura!
[06:07] Tas
    Next up, right field!
[06:11] Nag
    Got it, got it.
[06:16] Tas
    What are you doing?!
[06:18] Tas
    You didn't need to roll to get that hit!
[06:20] Tas
    Just catch it normally!
[06:22] Nag
    S-Sorry!
[06:25] Nag
    Nice ball!
[06:29] Nag
    His pitches are lively enough.
[06:30] Nag
    I just have to make sure
    I call a good game.
[06:33] Nag
    I need to make sure my framing
    doesn't go to pot like last time, too.
[06:41] Mom
    Shouta!
[06:45] Nag
    Oh, you made it!
[06:46] Dad
    Yup.
[06:47] Dad
    I'm glad we got here in time.
[06:49] Mom
    You won your second-round match!
     That's amazing!
[06:52] Nag
    Y-Yeah...
[06:53] Dad
    We're rooting for you,
    so bring your A-game, son!
[06:56] Mom
    Give it all you've got.
[06:57] Nag
    I will!
[07:02] Ura
    Those are pretty fast, but not
    so fast that we can't hit 'em.
[07:05] And
    Yeah.
[07:06] And
    Guess the guy who pitched in
    their last game is their ace.
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Hongou
[07:13] All
    Play ball!
[07:14] Are
    Get 'em, Kimura!
[07:16] Nag
    Make sure you get on base!
[07:21] Ump
    Ball.
[07:23] Ump
    Ball.
[07:25] Ump
    Strike!
[07:27] Ump
    Ball.
[07:28] Ump
    Ball.
[07:29] Ump
    Ball four.
[07:35] Sak
    Go, Shigeno-kun!
[07:40] Ump
    Ball.
[07:42] Dai
    Looks like their pitcher isn't warmed up yet.
[07:44] Dai
    We need to score runs
    before he finds his feet.
[07:53] Ump
    Out!
[07:56] A
    Yeah!
[07:57] Fuj
    Nice bunt!
[07:59] Ura
    Yeah!
[08:04] Ura
    After that walk, we have a runner
    on second without getting a hit.
[08:07] Ura
    Which means, what he wants most of all is...
[08:10] Ura
    ...strikes!
[08:16] Ump
    Safe!
[08:17] Ura
    All right!
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Hongou
[08:27] Dai
    We can't give this lineup any easy pitches.
[08:30] Dai
    Throw some low outside pitches.
    Let's be meticulous with our aim.
[08:39] Ump
    Ball.
[08:44] Dai
    Here, okay?
[08:51] Ump
    Ball two!
[08:56] Dai
    Are you okay?
[08:57] Dai
    We can't let the count get any worse.
[09:01] Hik
    High and inside... in the strike zone!
[09:12] Dai
    What's wrong, Hikaru?
[09:13] Dai
    Aren't you feeling it today?
[09:17] Ump
    Ball!
[09:19] Ump
    Ball!
[09:20] Ump
    Ball!
[09:22] Ump
    Ball four!
[09:24] Fuj
    Hey, now. I thought Satou had
    sorted out his control issues.
[09:29] Tas
    I thought so, too.
[09:31] Dai
    No outs, runners on first and second.
[09:33] Dai
    This is bad.
[09:35] Dai
    Maybe my framing's bad?
[09:37] Dai
    Or maybe...
[09:38] Hik
    Huh? This is weird.
[09:43] Dai
    Time out, please!
[09:47] Hik
    I can go straight down the middle?
[09:49] Hik
    Yeah.
[09:50] Hik
    You're holding back your arm because
    you're too worried about control.
[09:55] Hik
    So you don't have to worry
    about where to throw it anymore.
[09:58] Hik
    Just throw the ball as hard as
    you can, right down the middle!
[10:01] Hik
    With your speed, they won't hit you
    even if we do that.
[10:06] Hik
    Okay. Got it.
[10:13] Ump
    Play!
[10:14] Dai
    That's right.
[10:15] Dai
    What good am I as his catcher
    if I don't believe in Hikaru's pitches?
[10:25] Ump
    Strike!
[10:26] Kid
    So fast...
[10:28] Dai
    Nice ball!
[10:33] Ump
    Strike two!
[10:35] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
[10:37] Ump
    Strike! Out!
[10:39] Ump
    Strike! Out!
[10:41] Fuj
    Yeah!
[10:42] Dai
    Nice pitching.
[10:44] Hik
    Thanks!
[10:50] Tas
    All right! One out, runners
    on first and second!
[10:52] Tas
    We've got another chance to score.
[10:59] Sak
    Get us a run, Katsumata-kun!
[11:02] Nag
    You're having fun just cheering?
[11:05] Nag
    Well, cheerleading's not for me.
[11:07] Nag
    I practiced with my sights
    set on actually playing.
[11:11] Kid
    First!
[11:16] Nag
    Two outs, runner on second and third.
[11:19] Mom
    Good luck!
[11:20] Dad
    Now's your chance!
[11:22] Nag
    I'm so gonna hit this!
[11:25] Ump
    Strike!
[11:28] Ump
    Foul!
[11:30] Dai
    Hit it, Nagai!
[11:32] Hik
    Get those runners home!
[11:37] Ump
    Strike! Out!
[11:51] Nai
    I-I'll definitely get a hit next time!
[11:53] Nai
    I won't let you beat me!
[11:56] Sak
    Excuse me?
[11:57] Sak
    What's his problem?
[12:09] Ump
    Strike!
[12:10] Tas
    Looking good!
[12:11] Fuj
    He's settled into his groove.
[12:13] Sak
    Nice pitching!
[12:15] (Flashback) Sak
    Must have been kinda boring sitting
    on the sidelines the whole game, huh?
[12:19] (Flashback) Mut
    Oh, n-no, it wasn't. Just cheering
    everyone on was a lot of fun for me.
[12:24] Ump
    Strike!
[12:26] Sak
    In the beginning, I really meant that.
[12:29] Sak
    But seeing Shigeno-kun and
    the guys having so much fun,
[12:33] Sak
    the baseball-mad side of me
    wanted to be out there.
[12:36] Sak
    But then...
[12:37] (Flashback) Ura
    There's nothing worse than a talented player
    refusing to live up to their potential!
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Hongou
[12:53] Ump
    Strike!
[12:54] Fuj
    Looks like their pitcher's found
    his rhythm since the third inning.
[12:58] Tas
    Yeah.
[12:59] Tas
    Even though we're leading by one, I wouldn't
    mind getting an insurance run soon.
[13:04] Nag
    Just give me another chance.
[13:08] Kid
    All right!
[13:10] Ump
    Out!
[13:13] Nag
    What was that about?!
    You need to fight him off more!
[13:15] Are
    Uh, yeah...
[13:16] Are
    Sorry, dude.
[13:17] Moto
    What's Nagai's problem?
[13:20] Katsu
    Dunno.
[13:22] Katsu
    Probably worried he'll lose his spot
    again if he doesn't produce the goods.
[13:26] Katsu
    Yeah, guess so.
[13:28] Mom
    Jeez, I hit that traffic jam
    at just the wrong time!
[13:32] Mom
    Where's Daigo and the guys?
[13:34] Mom
    Huh?
[13:37] Mom
    Komori!
[13:41] Kom
    The Dolphins should be over on Field C.
[13:44] Mom
    Thank you!
[13:45] Kom
    Have you only just got here, Shimizu-san?
[13:47] Kom
    Oh, sorry!
[13:50] Mom
    Don't sweat it.
[13:51] Mom
    You've always known us as Shimizu Kaoru
    and Honda Goro, ever since we were kids.
[13:57] Kom
    Yeah.
[13:59] Kom
    I feel like I've been chasing
    that ball since the moment
[14:03] Kom
    I joined the Dolphins
    with you and Honda-kun.
[14:06] Kom
    Even now, I can't escape the lure of
    baseball, so I'm managing a junior team.
[14:12] Mom
    I had no idea you were managing a rival team.
[14:15] Mom
    In fact, I wanted to thank you
    for all you did for Izumi,
[14:18] Mom
    back when you managed the Dolphins.
[14:20] Kom
    That's not necessary.
[14:22] Kom
    We did everything we could to prepare
    ourselves for a battle with my old team.
[14:26] Kom
    The Dolphins sure were strong!
[14:28] Mom
    Really?
[14:29] Kom
    Daigo-kun's going to be one
    heck of a player someday.
[14:32] Kom
    Toshiya-kun's son also has a lot of talent.
[14:38] Kom
    They're kids who've inherited the talent
    of their Major League parents.
[14:43] Kom
    Won't be long before they make
    their own mark on the game.
[14:48] Kom
    Here it is. Field C.
[14:50] Mom
    Oh, good!
[14:52] Mom
    Thank you.
[14:53] Kom
    It's okay.
[14:54] Kom
    Please send my regards to
    Honda-kun in Taiwan, as well.
[14:57] Mom
    I'll tell him you said hello.
[15:00] Kom
    "The kids who've inherited the talent," huh?
[15:07] Kom
    Daigo-kun and his friends aren't
    the only ones with talent, though.
[15:21] Fuj
    All right!
[15:22] Fuj
    No outs, runners on second
    and third. Here's our chance!
[15:25] Nag
    I-It's here! I really did get another chance!
[15:28] Nag
    All right!
[15:30] Tas
    I really want that run on the board.
[15:32] Tas
    Which means...
[15:34] Tas
    Sakura will be pinch-hitting for Nagai.
[15:47] Nag
    Bah!
[15:49] Sak
    I promise I'll hit it!
[15:52] Sak
    For your sake, too...
[15:55] Sak
    Because I don't want to lose.
[15:56] Sak
    Because I want to play the
    next match with everyone.
[16:00] Sak
    Because I'm a member of the Dolphins!
[16:11] Dai
    Go, Sakura!
[16:12] Hik
    Mutsuko-chan! Fight!
[16:16] Ump
    Strike!
[16:18] Nag
    Damn it. What the hell do you
    mean, for my sake, too?
[16:21] Nag
    I'll get my own hits, thank you very much!
[16:24] Ump
    Ball.
[16:25] Tas
    Well done!
[16:26] Tas
    Stay sharp!
[16:27] Fuj
    You can hit this!
[16:29] Nag
    The next chance I get, I'm really gonna...
[16:33] Nag
    So come on!
[16:37] Nag
    Hit it, Sakura!
[16:56] All
    Yeah!
[16:59] Nag
    Damn it! How can she hit it like that?!
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Hongou
[17:09] Ump
    Strike! Out!
[17:11] Ump
    That's game.
[17:12] Kids
    We won!
[17:14] Tas
    We won...
[17:15] Tas
    We won again!
[17:17] Fuj
    We're in the quarterfinals!
[17:25] Boy
    Hello? Mayumura here.
[17:27] Guy
    Hey, where are you?
    The game's about to start.
[17:30] Boy
    Yes, I'll be right there.
[17:34] Boy
    He shut out the Sharks' offense,
    giving up only two hits.
[17:37] Boy
    Just who is that kid with the glasses?
[17:41] Tas
    You guys were something else.
[17:44] Tas
    But I have to say, Satou was the real MVP.
[17:46] Tas
    You only gave them two walks and
    two singles. That's some fine pitching!
[17:50] Hik
    Nah, it's Daigo-kun who
    deserves all the plaudits.
[17:54] Hik
    He stayed focused to the end and caught
    every single ball with proper framing.
[17:59] Tas
    Of course!
[18:00] Tas
    You did a great job, too, Daigo!
[18:04] And
    Looks like we're finally
    gonna play the Touto Boys.
[18:07] Ura
    Yeah.
[18:08] Ura
    Honestly, Satou's homer and his sickening
    baseball instincts get my back up.
[18:13] Mut
    You guys were really amazing out there.
[18:13] Ura
    But if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have
    made it to the quarterfinals so easily.
[18:16] ---
    You weren't too bad, Daigo-kun.
[18:19] Ura
    Our dream of beating the Touto Boys isn't—
[18:23] Ura
    Wait, that's...
[18:27] And
    Hey, where are you going?
[18:29] Ura
    Toilet.
[18:29] Ura
    I'll be right back.
[18:33] Mom
    Daigo! Congratulations!
[18:37] Mom
    I can't believe you won two games
    in one day! That is so amazing!
[18:39] Dai
    Ack! Let go!
[18:41] Mom
    Why? I'm praising you!
[18:43] Daiu
    Let go of me!
[18:45] Daiu
    Besides, I didn't do anything!
[18:47] Mom
    Huh?
[18:48] Dai
    I got switched out in the
    middle of the first game,
[18:51] Dai
    and in this game, Hikaru just threw
     balls that were easy for me to catch.
[18:56] Dai
    Our team won, but all I did was
    add to my list of things to improve.
[19:01] Mom
    Wow, what a selfless child!
[19:04] Mom
    He must have wonderful parents!
[19:08] Tas
    Please get everyone together
    and head home without me.
[19:10] Fuj
    What?
[19:11] Fuj
    Are you going scouting?
    Maybe we should all come—
[19:13] Tas
    No. Touto's on a whole other level.
[19:17] Tas
    If they see them play,
    our kids will lose hope.
[19:20] Fuj
    I see. I hear you.
[19:23] Ura
    Mayumura!
[19:27] Mai
    Oh, it's you.
[19:29] Mai
    I forget your name...
[19:31] Mai
    Andy, isn't it?
[19:33] Ura
    No, it isn't! I'm Urabe. Urabe!
[19:35] Mai
    Urabe? Oh, yeah, so it is.
[19:38] Mai
    Part of that weak battery that ran away
    and joined the Dolphins in fifth grade.
[19:43] Ura
    I-I didn't run away!
[19:46] Mai
    Well, that's what everyone on the team said.
[19:48] Ura
    That's crap and you know it!
[19:49] Ura
    Andy and I joined the Dolphins
    so we could crush you guys.
[19:54] Mai
    So that makes you the Dolphins' ace, right?
[19:57] Ura
    You better believe it!
[19:58] Mai
    That's pretty impressive.
[20:00] Mai
    So Specs, who threw monster fastballs
    in that last game, is your relief pitcher?
[20:05] Mai
    You're telling me you're
    a better pitcher than him?
[20:09] Ura
    W-Well...
[20:11] Ura
    Whatever. That kid in the glasses is
    a rookie who only just started playing.
[20:15] Mai
    He's... a rookie?
[20:17] Tas
    Urabe! What are you doing over here?
[20:20] Ura
    U-Uh, nothing.
[20:22] Mai
    Oh, right. I can't stick around.
[20:24] Mai
    I've got a game to get to.
[20:27] Mai
    If we win, we'll be playing the Dolphins.
[20:29] Mai
    Guess that means you'll be rooting for us.
[20:32] Ura
    H-Hey, Mayumura! Wait!
[20:35] Ura
    Aren't you Touto's ace?
[20:37] Ura
    Why are you wearing the number two jersey?
[20:42] Mai
    Because I'm the catcher, of course.
[20:45] Mai
    I'm not the pitcher.
[20:49] Ura
    Wh-What did he say?
[20:53] Kid
    Where the heck has Urabe got to?
[20:56] Kid
    Coach?
[20:57] Kid
    Has our manager gone to
    check out the Touto Boys?
[21:01] Kid
    Maybe that's where Urabe went, too.
[21:03] Fuj
    U-Uh, who knows?
[21:05] And
    I know.
[21:07] And
    He didn't want us to see them play,
    because we'd lose all hope if we did, right?
[21:10] Fuj
    Beats me...
[21:11] Hik
    What? It's fine. We should go watch them!
[21:14] Hik
    We won't know until we see for ourselves.
[21:16] Fuj
    Uh, I don't know.
[21:16] Hik
    What do you all say?
[21:17] Sak
    Let's do it!
[21:19] Sak
    We don't lose anything by just spectating.
[21:20] Dai
    Let's go, Coach!
[21:23] Dai
    We've made it to the quarterfinals.
[21:25] Dai
    If we're going to freak out anyway,
[21:27] Dai
    it's better to do it before the game!
[21:29] Dai
    We need to throw everything at them!
[21:31] Fuj
    S-Sure...
SIGN    Touto
[21:45] Tas
    So that's Touto's cleanup?
[21:48] Tas
    That's Mayumura Wataru, the son of
    Major League player, Mayumura Ken.
[21:53] Tas
    Oh, there's Touto's ace.
[22:00] Ura
    Y-You've gotta be kidding.
[22:08] Dai
    Th-That girl...
[22:17] Dai
    That time in the cages...
[22:19] Ura
    She's Wataru's twin sister.
[22:26] Ura
    Mayumura Michiru.
[24:01] Dai
    So Mayumura Junior has a twin?
[24:03] Dai
    And she's their ace?
[24:05] Dai
    We've got to defeat those siblings
    if we want to beat the Touto Boys.
[24:09] Dai
    Hold on a minute! Why's she in my house?!
[24:13] Dai
    This is my chance.
SIGN    Resignation
[24:16] Dai
    No, wait, this is bad.
SIGN    The Mayumura Siblings
[24:19] Dai
    Next time: "The Mayumura Siblings"
[24:21] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
