    We lost.

SIGN    Nice Game!
[02:14] Dad
    Izumi!
[02:15] Izu
    Pop? You're home?
[02:17] Dad
    Hm? Is that a bad thing?
[02:19] Dad
    All righty! Let's go play catch before dinner!
[02:22] Dad
    C'mon, let's play!
[02:23] Izu
    What? Are you serious?
[02:26] Izu
    I've got cram school, and I wanna shower—
[02:28] Izu
    Huh?!
[02:28] Dad
    So you're just giving up on these precious
    fleeting moments of direct communication
[02:32] Dad
    we get as parent and child?!
    Is this the "rebellious teens"?!
[02:36] Izu
    You didn't have to start bawling.
[02:38] Izu
    I'll play, but only for a bit.
[02:40] Izu
    Sheesh. You play baseball all year round, yet
    you still wanna play catch when you get home.
[02:46] Dad
    It's like I said...
[02:47] Dad
    It's my way of communicating
    with my precious daughter and son.
[02:54] Dad
    Got ya!
[02:54] Izu
    Hey!
[02:57] Dad
    The angle of the glove is
    key when catching there.
[02:59] Dad
    Tingles, doesn't it?
[02:59] Izu
    Oh, come on!
[03:01] Izu
    Hey, that reminds me.
    It was Daigo's district final today.
[03:04] Izu
    Do you know what the final score was?
[03:07] Dad
    I went and watched.
[03:11] Dad
    They lost to a walk-off home run.
[03:13] Izu
    Oh. I see.
[03:15] Dad
    But they put up a really good
    fight against a strong team.
[03:19] Dad
    A lot's happened at Fuurin
    since you graduated.
[03:23] Dad
    Without a coach, and in their first real
    tournament, your successors did well.
[03:29] Dad
    But this is just the start
    of his baseball career.
[03:35] Mom
    These baseball nuts...
[03:40] Mom
    And we're done.
[03:42] Mom
    Izumi, please set the table.
[03:43] Izu
    Coming.
[03:45] Izu
    Wow, that looks amazing.
[03:47] Dai
    I'm home.
[03:52] Mom
    Welcome back!
[03:53] Mom
    You must be really hungry.
[03:55] Mom
    Dinner's ready.
[03:56] Dai
    I don't want any.
[03:57] Dai
    I'm not hungry.
[04:01] Izu
    He went on about this tourney being
    a trial run, and now he's acting like that?
[04:04] Izu
    He couldn't be more down if he tried.
[04:06] Mom
    Well, it's only natural.
[04:08] Mom
    They were so close to
    winning the Districts, after all.
[04:19] Dai
    Ah, this is bad.
[04:20] Dai
    That hurt way too much.
[04:33] Dai
    This handwriting...
[04:37] Dai
    He came and saw my game?
[04:40] Dai
    Pop...
[04:43] Dai
    Mom!
[04:44] Dai
    Hey, Mom!
[04:47] Dai
    Mom!
[04:49] Mom
    What is it?
[04:51] Dai
    I just realized I'm actually starving.
[04:54] Dai
    So I was wondering what was for dinner.
[04:56] Mom
    Didn't you say you weren't hungry?
[04:59] Izu
    That's what I heard.
[05:00] Dai
    Oh, I was just a little...
[05:05] Dai
    You're really not gonna let me eat?!
[05:08] Mom
    Of course I will.
[05:09] Izu
    Don't start crying.
[05:11] Mom
    Look!
[05:12] Dai
    Wow!
[05:13] Mom
    Tonight, it's hamburg
    steak in a demi-glace sauce!
[05:15] Mom
    I even added Pop's portion
    to yours, so it's humongous!
[05:18] Dai
    No kidding!
[05:20] Dai
    Wait, so he left already?
[05:21] Mom
    Yeah...
[05:22] Izu
    He never changes. By now, he should
    already be in the air on his way to Kochi.
[05:26] Dai
    Oh, right.
[05:27] Mom
    He just jumped up all of
    a sudden and said he was off.
[05:29] Mom
    When I asked him about dinner,
    he told me to give you his portion.
[05:33] Izu
    Ah, so that's why.
[05:35] Mom
    You don't have to eat it all.
    Don't make yourself sick.
[05:38] Dai
    Right.
[05:39] Dai
    Let's eat!
[05:42] Dad
    Give it your all, Daigo.

[06:01] Yay
    How'd your tests go?
[06:04] Tao
    Huh? We really gonna talk about that?
[06:06] Ani
    I was still in game mode 'cause
    that tourney was so damn intense.
[06:09] Ani
    An' my right hand hurts still,
    so I could barely write.
[06:12] Chi
    You just didn't know the answers, did you?
[06:15] Tao
    It's bad. My grades have dropped so hard,
    my homeroom teacher wanted a word with me.
[06:20] Kan
    Same here.
[06:21] Yay
    We started morning practice as second-years,
    so it's nonstop baseball.
[06:24] Tao
    We're a prep school, but I was told I won't
    make it into the high school at this rate...
[06:29] Kan
    I got told the same.
[06:31] Nis
    Hey! Hurry up and get changed already!
[06:34] Nis
    Stop turning the team room into
    a girls' locker room just so you can chat!
[06:38] Tao
    Oh, shut up.
[06:39] Tao
    It's first come, first serve,
     so quit your whining!
[06:41] Tao
    Besides, guys can change out there.
[06:45] Tan
    Yup, that's what I'm doing.
[06:46] Nis
    Hey, you're older than them!
[06:48] Nis
    Tell them off!
[06:49] Nan
    We need to be nice to these delicate girls.
[06:52] Nis
    What part of that is "delicate"?!
[06:54] Yay
    Shut your mouth!
[06:55] Yay
    If you don't like it, get here as early as Daigo!
[06:58] Dai
    So this is our first practice
    since the tournament a week ago.
[07:01] Dai
    Has everyone managed to recover?
[07:04] Chi
    Yeah, we're good.
[07:05] Ani
    My mental fatigue's still...
[07:07] Dai
    Then, starting today, we crank it up!
[07:09] Chi
    Wow, totally ignored.
[07:11] Dai
    Anyway, I'll announce our next goals
    and upcoming schedule.
[07:16] Dai
    Our next competition is the national
    middle school rubber-ball tournament,
[07:19] Dai
    AKA the middle school nationals.
[07:21] Dai
    Prelims start in about two months, in July.
[07:23] Mut
    Two months? That's so soon!
[07:25] Dai
    Our goal is clear:
[07:27] Dai
    bag the title of district champs that
    eluded us this time, and go to Regionals.
[07:31] All
    One, two, three, four! Fight! Fight! Fight!
[07:31] Dai
    I know the tournament
    result was disappointing,
[07:34] Dai
    but our potential was there for all to see.
[07:37] Dai
    With this team, I have no
    doubt we can win next time.
[07:41] Dai
    That's why I ask you to be even
    more focused in our training sessions.
[07:47] Dai
    Let's go get our revenge!
[07:54] Tao
    I'm exhausted!
[07:57] Tao
    When did we start again?
[07:59] Yay
    Practice started after the test,
    so at, like, 1:30 pm?
[08:02] Tao
    Wait, 1:30 pm?!
[08:04] Tao
    That means it's been four hours! Four hours!
[08:06] Tao
    Don't you think that's overdoing it a bit?
[08:08] Tao
    I wanted to cut down on practice 'cause of
    my falling grades... How'd this even happen?
[08:13] Chi
    I guess we all had time to kill today.
[08:15] Yay
    Well, why don't you go talk to Daigo about it?
[08:20] Tao
    Hey, Daigo—
[08:21] Dai
    Good job today!
[08:22] Dai
    I already told the other two,
     but from tomorrow,
[08:24] Dai
    we'll start practicing Saturdays too,
    so make sure you're all here by 8 am.
[08:29] Tao
    What? You want to practice on our days off, too?!
[08:31] Tao
    Let us have our weekends at least.
[08:33] Tao
    Say it ain't so, Daigo!
[08:35] Dai
    There's only nine of us,
[08:37] Dai
    so no matter how efficient we are,
    there's never enough time.
[08:40] Dai
    For training, they say it should be quality
    over quantity, but we're not at that level yet.
[08:44] Dai
    I know it's hard, but we have
    to keep pushing through.
[08:47] Dai
    We'll never reach the next level
    if we don't step it up.
[08:51] Dai
    I know you all have it in you.
[08:53] Ani
    Yeah. Yer totally right, Captain!
[08:56] Ani
    I agree, 100 percent!
[08:57] Ani
    S'now or never, I say!
[08:59] Ani
    This time, we're gonna smash Mayumura
    Michiru and go to Regionals!
[09:03] Ani
    Let's show her a girls' team can
    become strong enough to beat her!
[09:07] Dai
    Oh, that reminds me.
[09:08] Chi
    Ignored again!
[09:09] Dai
    Sawa-san.
[09:10] Dai
    I know there are concerns about
    your elbow, but if there's no pain,
[09:13] Dai
    I'd like you to pitch again.
[09:15] Dai
    Just as a closer would be enough.
[09:21] Dai
    Would you mind training with that in mind?
[09:26] Yay
    Okay.
[09:28] Tao
    Are you sure you're fine with it, Yayoi?
[09:30] Tao
    With pitching again, I mean?
[09:33] Yay
    Well...

[09:37] Yay
    And there isn't any pain right now.
[09:40] Yay
    Sorry I didn't tell you.
[09:42] Yay
    But I really wasn't
    planning on pitching again.
[09:44] Tao
    I know that.
[09:47] Tao
    But to pitch in games, you'll need to
    pitch hundreds of times in the bullpen.
[09:52] Tao
    You have to get into it again.
[09:54] Tao
    Can't be good for your elbow.

    You need to be able to keep
    up with this kind of pace.
[10:33] Kan
    Yeah, sorry.
[10:34] Kan
    I've just been having
    knee pain since yesterday.
[10:37] Dai
    You might be overweight.
[10:41] Dai
    You know, Kan-chan, you're really athletic,
[10:43] Dai
    so I bet you'd move a lot
    better if you toned up a bit.
[10:47] Dai
    Let's see... Your weight loss
    goal for this month is five kilos.
[10:52] Dai
    Good luck!

[11:09] Yay
    This first-year is totally
    treating us like equals.
[11:11] Yay
    Sorry.
[11:12] Ani
    Ain't good enough, Senpai.
[11:14] Ani
    Ya can't show up late for our first
    weekend practice. It's a morale killer.
[11:17] Ani
    Keep that in mind.
[11:18] Tao
    Hey, we already said we're sorry!
[11:21] Dai
    Okay, okay.
[11:23] Dai
    I was worried you were sick or something,
    so I'm glad you're both fine.
[11:26] Dai
    Just make sure you're on time next time.
[11:28] Yay
    Gotcha.
[11:33] (Flashback) Tao
    Hey, come on now...
[11:35] (Flashback) Yay
    Morning.
[11:37] (Flashback) Tao
    Yayoi, why are you coming to pick me up?
[11:41] (Flashback) Yay
    Let's go.
[11:42] (Flashback) Tao
    No way.
[11:43] (Flashback) Tao
    I told you, I refuse to practice on our days off.
[11:46] (Flashback) Yay
    Oh, stop. Come on, go get ready.
[11:50] (Flashback) Yay
    I don't feel like it either, and I definitely
    don't feel in the mood for a hard session...
[11:53] (Flashback) Yay
    But Daigo's so motivated, we should
    at least try to get swept up in his excitement.
[11:58] (Flashback) Yay
    It's not like you were studying, anyway.
[12:05] Tao
    For crying out loud.
[12:08] Tao
    I didn't come here to get
    covered in mud every day.
[12:13] Tao
    If I was so concerned about getting
    to the top, I would've gone to Senior League.
[12:18] Tao
    I came to Fuurin because
    it was the right level of casual.
[12:21] Tao
    This guy's just trying way too hard!
[12:25] Tao
    And now he wants Yayoi up on the mound,
    even though her elbow's a ticking time-bomb.
[12:30] Tao
    That's my biggest problem with all this!
[12:42] Kan
    I'm so tired!
[12:43] Kan
    My body's hurting from head to toe.
[12:46] Chi
    Is this going to be our routine from now on?
[12:49] Mut
    W-Well, I think our bodies will get used to it.
[12:51] Ani
    Ain't nothin' else we can do.
    This is the bare minimum.
[12:54] Ani
    Other strong teams do this
    Saturday and Sunday.
[12:57] Ani
    If we wanna beat 'em, as girls,
    we need to do even more.
[13:01] Ani
    You slack off, you lose.
[13:04] Yay
    I just hope we don't crash and burn.
[13:06] Yay
    Girls trying to keep up with the pace
    of guys will eventually get crushed.
[13:10] Yay
    We only have nine players,
    so if one of us gets injured, it's over.

    We're meeting again tomorrow at 8 am.
[13:33] Dai
    Please don't be late.

    Thanks for dinner.

    What? You're done already?
[13:44] Mom
    Don't you want any more?
[13:45] Dai
    No, thanks.
[13:46] Dai
    I'm getting up early tomorrow.
[13:55] Izu
    Looks like he's really hammering
    the team practice sessions.
[13:58] Izu
    Back when I was on the team,
    we had weekend practice too,
[14:00] Izu
    but it was either Saturday
    or Sunday, not both.
[14:03] Mom
    It just shows how hard
    he took that last loss.
[14:07] Izu
    It's one thing if he wants to
    train by himself every day.
[14:10] Izu
    But I'm surprised the team's not up in arms.
[14:15] Mom
    I think he's doing it with them in mind.
[14:18] Mom
    I'm pretty sure a certain Shigeno Goro
    beat all the important stuff into him.
[14:22] Izu
    I just hope he hasn't forgotten it.
[14:39] Mut
    Daigo.
[14:41] Dai
    Mutsuko!
[14:45] Dai
    What did you want to talk about?
[14:49] Mut
    Well, you see...
[14:54] Mut
    Don't you think we're
    practicing a little too much?
[14:59] Mut
    I-I'm not saying we should just take it easy,
[15:03] Mut
    but Tao has a point. If we keep going
    at the pace of yesterday and today,
[15:07] Mut
    eventually someone's going to get injured.
[15:10] Mut
    And with only nine players,
    it's kinda reckless.
[15:20] Dai
    I don't think it's all that reckless.

[15:23] Dai
    I did a lot of research on the routines of
    strong schools. This is a normal pace for them.
[15:27] Mut
    B-But Kan-chan was complaining
    about her knees hurting.
[15:30] Mut
    And isn't making Yayoi go
    in the bullpen dangerous?
[15:34] Mut
    We all want to get better, sure,
[15:37] Mut
    but if one of us gets injured and
    we can't compete, it's all for nothing.
[15:41] Mut
    Maybe Sunday to recover would—
[15:42] Dai
    Fine!
[15:44] Dai
    Go ahead and tell them that
    anyone who wants a rest can have one.
[15:47] Dai

    Jeez.
[19:29] Mut
    We were so worried about you.
[19:32] Mut
    We were told you were
    taken away in an ambulance.
[19:34] Dai
    Well, I collapsed on a Sunday,
    so all the clinics around here were closed.
[19:39] Dai
    How's everyone doing?
[19:41] Mut
    Everyone's fine, like always.
[19:43] Mut
    We had practice today like usual.
[19:45] Dai

[19:48] Mut
    But we weren't all that
    efficient without you there.

    Tao was right.

    I was so upset about losing the tournament,
    I lost sight of everything else.
[20:07] Dai
    I got myself into a frenzy because we

[20:11] Dai
