[00:02] Sat
    Excuse me, guys and gals...
[00:08] Sat
    I'm Satou Hikaru from Class 4.
[00:12] Rik
    Th-That's him! That's the guy!
    The transfer student!
[00:15] Hik
    Is the son of Shigeno Goro,
    the pro baseball player, in your class?
[00:22] Rik
    That would be him right here.
[00:25] Rik
    This is Shigeno Jr. AKA Daigo!
[00:28] Rit
    Riko...
[00:29] Hik
    Oh? You're Daigo-kun?
[00:33] Hik
    Nice to meet y—
[00:38] Dai
    Sorry, but I don't take requests
    for autographs and stuff.
[00:42] Dai
    Dad's not around, anyway.
    He's in Taiwan.
[00:44] Hik
    Huh?
[00:46] Hik
    Oh, man, you sure jumped to conclusions.
[00:50] Hik
    I didn't want your dad's autograph.
[00:54] Hik
    My papa's more famous, anyway.
[00:58] Dai
    What?!
[00:59] Rit
    "Papa"?
[01:01] Hik
    My papa has led the majors
     in homeruns before,
[01:04] Hik
    and he retired last year.
[01:06] Hik
    I'm sure you've heard of him. Satou Toshiya.
[01:12] Dai
    Th-The son of Satou Toshiya,
    the man Pop won the World Series with?
SIGN    If I Wasn't the Second
[02:52] Dai
    You're Satou Toshiya's son?
[02:57] Rit
    You mean, the Satou Toshiya?
[02:59] Hik
    To be honest, I would've liked
    to have stayed in New York.
[03:04] Hik
    But since my family's moved back to Japan,
[03:07] Hik
    transferring to this school
    was my only real option.
[03:09] Hik
    Understand?
[03:11] Dai
    What the hell's with this guy?
[03:13] Dai
    He's annoying the crap
    out of me on every level.
[03:16] Hik
    Anyway, I was looking to join
    a local baseball team.
[03:19] Hik
    I figured you'd know the score on
    that front. Know a good team I can join?
[03:22] Hik
    I mean, you're obviously 
    on a team yourself, right?
[03:25] Dai
    Back off! I'm not on any team!
[03:29] Hik
    I... see.
[03:31] Rik
    Huh? I thought Shigeno-kun played baseball.
[03:34] Rit
    Didn't you know?
[03:35] Rit
    He quit playing a long time ago.
[03:39] Rit
    Ah! Why don't you refer him to
    the team you used to play for?
[03:43] Rit
    You have the coach's
    contact information, right?
[03:46] Dai
    The Dolphins are a rubber-ball team nowadays.
[03:52] Dai
    You want to play hardball, right?
[03:54] Dai
    Go do some research and
    figure it out for yourself.
[03:57] Dai
    Why should I care?
[04:01] Hik
    He's a bit of a grump, isn't he?
[04:04] Hik
    Is he always like that?
[04:05] Rit
    Huh?
[04:06] Rit
    Well...
[04:15] Dai
    So he's a "second," too, huh?
[04:18] Dai
    His eyes were glinting with confidence.
[04:22] Dai
    I bet he's really good at baseball.
[04:25] Sak
    Shigeno-kun!
[04:27] Dai
    Sakura?
[04:31] Sak
    Can we walk home together?
[04:34] Dai
    Huh? Where'd that come from?
[04:37] Dai
    Not that I mind.
[04:43] Sak
    You know, we went to the same
    kindergarten and the same grade school,
[04:48] Sak
    but we've never really talked, have we?
[04:50] Dai
    Well, we haven't been in
    the same class till this year.
[04:55] Sak
    So how did you see me?
[04:56] Dai
    Huh?
[04:57] Sak
    In all that time,
    how did you see me?
[05:01] Dai
    Wh-What do you mean?
    Nothing special, really.
[05:06] Dai
    A-Anyway, where did all this come from?
[05:09] Sak
    Makes sense.
[05:11] Sak
    There's no reason someone like you
    would give me a second thought.
[05:14] Dai
    Huh?
[05:16] Sak
    But it's not the same for me.
[05:19] Sak
    You've been a celebrity from day one.
[05:23] Sak
    You're the son of a pro baseball player,
[05:25] Sak
    which always made you
    popular with the other kids.
[05:27] Sak
    And you always got lots of chocolates
    from girls on Valentines' Day.
[05:31] Sak
    For a nobody like me, you were always
    someone who was unapproachable.
[05:36] Dai
    Oh, come off it.
[05:37] Dai
    All of that is because of my dad.
[05:40] Dai
    I'm not popular because of who I am.
[05:42] Dai
    It's because of who he is.
[05:44] Sak
    That's not true!
[05:47] Sak
    That's not even the slightest bit true.
[05:49] Sak
    At least, it wasn't up until
    the moment you quit baseball.
[05:53] Sak
    You know, my older brother played
    for the Dolphins till last year.
[05:58] Sak
    So I used to go watch the games
    with my parents all the time.
[06:03] Sak
    I saw you play in a bunch of
    games and practice sessions.
[06:06] Sak
    To me, your being a "second" and your
    father being famous didn't come into it.
[06:11] Sak
    All I saw was you, giving it your all.
[06:14] Sak
    You looked so cool out there.
[06:20] Sak
    That's why I've been wanting to ask you
    why you quit baseball for a long time now.
[06:28] Sak
    I'd really love to see you
    play baseball again.
[06:31] Dai
    Why does everyone have to
    be so annoying about it?
[06:35] Dai
    Just shut up!
[06:37] Dai
    And leave me alone, idiot!
[06:42] Sak
    He didn't...
[06:43] Sak
    Who does that?
[06:45] Sak
    Is this what he's really like?!
[06:47] Sak
    I can't believe it!
[06:49] Sak
    Give me back my first love, you doofus!
[06:58] Dai
    Saying I looked "cool"...
[07:00] Dai
    What the hell was that idiot on about?
[07:03] Dai
    I quit because I looked like a loser.
[07:06] Dai
    I quit because I was a disgrace!
[07:09] Dai
    Everyone expected great things from me
    and watched me like hawks.
[07:12] Dai
    And so, this "average" fourth grader
[07:15] Dai
    got exposed and shamed
    over something he never asked for!
[07:19] Dai
    I became isolated from my teammates.
[07:22] Dai
    Stepping out onto the field became
    nothing but a source of pain.
[07:27] Dai
    If only I wasn't Shigeno Jr...
[07:30] Dai
    If only I wasn't the "second,"
    I could've played baseball so freely.
[07:35] Dai
    If only I wasn't the "second"!
[07:51] Dai
    Sis!
[07:54] Dai
    What are you going to do about this?!
[07:55] Dai
    It broke because you threw it yesterday!
[07:58] Dai
    Pay me back!
[07:59] Dai
    I want the newest model!
[08:08] Izu
    I keep telling you not to come into
    the bathroom when I'm in here.
[08:14] Dai
    I'm... I'm sorry.
[08:18] Izu
    Oh, you're right.
[08:20] Dai
    See? It's obviously because you
    threw it on the ground yesterday!
[08:24] Izu
    I'm sorry.
[08:26] Izu
    Well, it's actually a good thing.
[08:27] Izu
    This is god's way of telling you
    to find a better hobby.
[08:31] Dai
    Say what?
[08:32] Dai
    God conveniently pops up to
    tell me that right after you break it?
[08:35] Dai
    Quit trying to weasel out of this
    and buy me a new one!
[08:37] Izu
    You're so annoying.
[08:39] Izu
    I don't have that kind of money right now.
[08:41] Izu
    My glove's almost threadbare,
    so I have to replace it...
[08:46] Izu
    That reminds me, you have a glove
    you only used for a year!
[08:51] Izu
    Give me that! Then, I can give you
    enough money to repair this thing.
[08:56] Dai
    Uh, well... I don't have it anymore.
[08:59] Izu
    Huh? You don't? Why not?
[09:01] Dai
    I... I threw it away. Ages ago.
[09:05] Dai
    I didn't want to see any
    baseball stuff anymore.
[09:10] Izu
    Are you serious?! Pop got
    that glove specifically for you—
[09:13] Gran
    We're here!
[09:15] Mom
    Good evening.
[09:23] Izu
    Wow!
[09:25] Gran
    What do you think? I caught it myself.
[09:27] Mom
    We couldn't finish it by ourselves.
[09:30] Izu
    Grandpa, I think your
    fishing skills are improving.
[09:33] Gran
    Yep! And I'm gonna keep bringing
    you guys the whoppers!
[09:37] Kao
    Okay, let's eat.
[09:38] ---
    Go ahead and dig in.
    Do you like it?
[09:38] ---
    Yeah, let's eat!
[09:42] Man
    The pitcher winds up...
[09:44] Man
    He hits it!
[09:45] Gran
    Oh, I think the Oceans might just make it
    to the Climax Series again this year.
[09:49] Izu
    I don't know about that...
[09:51] Izu
    They're 1.5 games behind
    the Warriors in fourth.
[09:54] Mom
    I like the kid on second base. He recently
    stepped up from their second team.
[09:57] Izu
    Yes! I know what you mean!
[10:03] Dai
    Thanks for the food.
[10:05] Kao
    You've finished already?
[10:06] Dai
    Yes.
[10:11] Gran
    He still gets like that when
    people talk about baseball, huh?
[10:14] Kao
    Yes.
[10:15] Izu
    A real problem child, that one.
[10:18] Mom
    Goro also had a pro
    baseball player as a father.
[10:24] Mom
    But he never found that to be a burden.
[10:29] Kao
    Well, that man is totally baseball mad.
[10:32] Mom
    I wish Izumi and Daigo could enjoy baseball
    free from all the pressure, too.
[10:39] Kao
    Right.
[10:40] Gran
    Well, Goro had Satou Toshiya.
[10:43] Gran
    Maybe things would be different
    if Daigo had a baseball buddy like him.
SIGN    Tashiro
[10:51] Kao
    Oh, the phone.
[10:53] Man
    Bang!
[10:55] Kao
    Hello, Tashiro-kun?
[10:58] Kao
    What?
[11:08] Dai
    Why does everyone only
    care about baseball?
[11:11] Kao
    Daigo?
[11:12] Dai
    What is it?
[11:13] Kao
    Manager Tashiro of the Dolphins just called.
[11:17] Dai
    Huh?
[11:19] Kao
    Apparently, three players
    have come down with the flu.
[11:23] Kao
    So they're short-handed for tomorrow's
    match and asked if you could play.
[11:27] Dai
    What?!
[11:29] Kao
    He said there was no one else he could
    turn to, so I told him it was okay.
[11:33] Kao
    It is all right, isn't it?
[11:39] Dai
    Why?!
[11:49] Kao
    Daigo!
[11:54] Kao
    Daigo!
[11:57] Kao
    Hey, Daigo, it's 9 o'clock!
[12:00] Kao
    How long are you going to sleep?
[12:02] Kao
    The match starts at ten!
[12:04] Kao
    We told Manager Tashiro
    we'd be there, so hurry up!
[12:08] Kao
    If you don't go, they can't play the match!
[12:10] Kao
    It'll ruin it for everyone!
[12:15] Kao
    I've had enough of your crap!
[12:20] Kao
    What is wrong with you?
[12:22] Kao
    Why do you have to be so dead set against it?
[12:24] Kao
    It's a practice match, so you just
    have to be a body on the field.
[12:29] Dai
    Are you really going to
    buy me a new console?
[12:34] Kao
    If you play properly.
[12:36] Kao
    Even if you're just making up the numbers,
    you have to take it seriously.
[12:43] Kao
    Oh, there you are.
[12:45] Kao
    Tashiro-kun!
[12:46] Tas
    Oh, you came!
[12:48] Tas
    Thanks, Kaoru-chan!
[12:49] Tas
    Sorry for asking you to
    help us out like this, Daigo.
[12:53] Dai
    It's no big deal.
[12:54] Dai
    Just so you know, I might drag the team down.
[12:57] Dai
    I suck royally, after all.
[12:59] Kao
    Daigo!
[13:00] Tas
    N-No, it's okay.
[13:02] Tas
    Daigo, go get changed right away.
[13:05] Tas
    There's a silver van in the parking lot.
[13:12] Kao
    I'm sorry that he's still so negative.
[13:16] Tas
    It's all right.
[13:18] Tas
    I consider it my failure as a coach that
    I couldn't make him stick to baseball.
[13:24] Tas
    I'm pretty sure it's killing him
    just to be here today.
[13:32] Dai
    I guess this is it.
[13:33] Dai
    So they're cruising around in
    a fancy van like this now, huh?
[13:44] Dai
    S-Satou?!
[13:45] Hik
    Oh, Daigo-kun. So you came.
[13:48] Dai
    Wh-What are you doing here?!
[13:50] Dai
    Wait, if you're wearing
    that uniform, that means...
[13:54] Hik
    I went ahead and joined the Dolphins today.
[13:57] Hik
    For me, a local baseball
    team is enough for now.
[14:01] Dai
    Huh? But I was called because
    they didn't have enough people.
[14:05] Hik
    Right. Coach said you'll
    be the one playing today.
[14:09] Hik
    I only just joined, so he doesn't
    know if I'm any good or not.
[14:13] Hik
    He told me to watch from the bench today.
[14:18] Fuj
    Hey, Daigo, what's taking so long?!
[14:20] Fuj
    Get changed already!
[14:22] Fuj
    We're about to start!
[14:23] Dai
    Okay, okay!
[14:27] Kim
    Oh, it's Daigo.
[14:29] Kim
    Hey, long time no see!
[14:31] Dai
    Oh, yeah...
[14:33] Kad
    So who's the backup?
[14:36] Kim
    I guess you younger guys don't know him.
[14:38] Kim
    That's Shigeno Daigo. He was here for
    a year when we were in fourth grade.
[14:42] Kim
    He's the only son of the Shigeno family,
    the ones who gave us the team van.
[14:46] Kad
    Oh, I see.
[14:47] Dai
    So that's the deal with the van...
[14:49] Hik
    Hey!
[14:51] Hik
    Today, the Dolphins have two descendants
    of former Major League players!
[14:56] Hik
    Gorgeous and fantastic, don't you think?
[14:59] Dai
    Stop that! Get off of me!
[15:01] Dai
    What's wrong with you,
    bragging about being a "second"?
[15:03] Hik
    I wasn't bragging or anything.
[15:06] Tas
    Hey, gather round!
[15:11] Ref
    Bow!
[15:12] All
    Let's have a good game!
[15:19] Fuj
    So you put Daigo in right field?
[15:20] Tas
    Yeah.
[15:21] Tas
    It's the least stressful position.
[15:24] Tas
    He hasn't played in a long time,
    so it's enough that he's on the field.
[15:28] Dai
    What the hell am I doing?
[15:31] Dai
    I don't want to see my old teammates.
[15:35] Dai
    It's hot, and I can't be bothered.
    I just want to go home.
[15:43] Dai
    And yet, the feeling of the uniform
    and the smell of the glove...
[15:48] Ref
    Play ball!
[15:49] Dai
    And the indescribable feeling of anxiety
    and excitement when you hear those words.
[15:55] Dai
    It feels so nostalgic.
[15:59] Kao
    Daigo!
[16:01] Kao
    Good luck! Fight!
[16:03] Kao
    Damn, she's close!
[16:05] Dai
    "Fight," my butt.
[16:06] Dai
    Right fielders basically never have to—
[16:08] Kao
    It's coming your way!
[16:11] Fuj
    Right field!
[16:19] Ump
    Out!
[16:20] Mat
    He caught it!
[16:21] Mas
    Nice one, right fielder!
[16:22] Fuj
    Well done, Daigo!
[16:27] Kao
    For someone who doesn't want to be
    here, he sure is showing some hustle.
[16:31] Hik
    Coach...
[16:33] Hik
    Why did Shigeno quit playing baseball?
[16:36] Fuj
    I don't really know.
[16:39] Fuj
    He said he sucked and it wasn't fun for him.
[16:44] Hik
    Huh? But looking at him now,
    he doesn't seem that bad.
[16:51] Hik
    It's not like everyone else on
    the team is super great, either.
[16:54] Hik
    So it's not a case of not
    being able to keep up, right?
[16:57] Fuj
    Don't throw it! You're too late!
[17:00] All
    Go for it!
[17:03] All
    What?
[17:06] All
    Their right fielder got there really fast!
[17:14] Run
    Oh, no!
[17:18] Ump
    Safe!
[17:19] All
    All right!
[17:21] All
    We were lucky that right fielder's
    got a weak arm!
[17:25] Tas
    That's the number one reason he quit.
[17:30] Tas
    He's not actually as bad as he thinks he is.
[17:33] Tas
    His defense got quite good
    after some practice, too.
[17:36] Tas
    And he has the baseball IQ to make
    smart plays like the backing up just then.
[17:40] Tas
    However...
[17:42] Tas
    He's got a weak arm.
[17:44] Tas
    For Daigo, who's always dreamed of
    emulating his father as a player,
[17:51] Tas
    that gap between dreams and reality
    must've felt devastating and unacceptable.

[18:03] Ump
    Ball four!
[18:05] Tas
    Okay! Nice eye!
[18:07] Fuj
    The bases are loaded!
    It's a big chance!
[18:09] Fuj
    Who's next?
[18:13] Fuj
    It's Daigo.
[18:16] Hik
    What's the matter?
[18:18] Hik
    Is Shigeno bad at batting as well?
[18:21] Fuj
    That doesn't even begin to describe it.
[18:23] Fuj
    I can't remember him ever getting a hit.
[18:26] Tas
    It's not just your memory.
[18:28] Tas
    There's no record of him
    ever getting a hit in a match.
[18:34] Dai
    The pitcher has been
    throwing ball after ball.
[18:38] Dai
    I need to take my time and watch.
[18:40] Mat
    Go Daigo!
[18:41] Nag
    Show them the homerun skills
    you got from your dad!
[18:44] Kim
    With your DNA, you can hit it!
[18:52] Fuj
    Those were all balls! Watch more closely!
[18:55] Dai
    Dammit. Those guys just
    had to shoot their mouths off!
[19:01] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
[19:05] Kim
    Ah, man, we didn't get any runs on the board.
[19:08] Nag
    Our fault for getting our hopes up.
[19:10] Koa
    Daigo! There's always next time!
[19:12] Koa
    Don't let it get you down!
[19:16] Dai
    Must be nice. Mom's so carefree.
[19:19] Dai
    For me, baseball is nothing
    but a source of pain.
[19:29] Boy
    Stop! Stop!
[19:31] Run
    All right! One out,
    and runners on the corners!
[19:35] Fuj
    This isn't good.
[19:37] Tas
    Kimura?
[19:42] Kim
    I'm sorry. It looks like
    I twisted my arm just now.
[19:46] Fuj
    This is bad.
[19:48] Mat
    We're already short today.
[19:50] Fuj
    What do we do?
[19:52] Fuj
    We have no choice. We can't push him.
[19:56] Fuj
    Satou!
[19:58] Fuj
    I'm putting you in!
[20:02] Fuj
    Are you sure about this, Tashiro?
[20:04] Fuj
    Satou only joined the team today.
     We don't know anything about him.
[20:07] Tas
    What other choice do we
    have in this situation?
[20:10] Tas
    Kishimoto, move to shortstop!
[20:12] Tas
    Satou, you take center field!
[20:14] Sat
    All right, leave it to me.
[20:17] Sat
    To be honest, I was getting
    bored of just watching.
[20:20] Tas
    R-Right...
[20:25] Dai
    Is he really going to play now?
[20:31] Dai
    Dammit! How can he be that
    calm for his first match?
[20:35] Dai
    Now, they're going to judge
    who the better "second" is...
[20:37] Fuj
    So how much did he play in the States?
[20:40] Tas
    I don't know.
[20:42] Tas
    All I know about him
    is that he's Satou's son.
[20:45] Tas
    Well, I guess we can just see
    how he does in this match.
[20:49] Ump
    Play!
[20:50] Boy
    Knock it outta the park!
[20:52] Boy
    We're counting on you, Arizaka!
[20:54] Ari
    We've got one out. If nothing else,
    I'll get the runner on third home!
[21:02] Ari
    Center!
[21:05] Ari
    Good enough for a sac fly!
[21:07] Tas
    It's going right to him!
[21:08] Fuj
    We can see how good Satou Jr.'s arm is!
[21:10] Fuj
    Kill 'em!
[21:25] Dai
    Excuse me?
[21:26] All
    All right! Both of you, run!
[21:28] Coa
    Arizaka, run to second!
[21:31] Fuj
    What's he doing?!
[21:33] Tas
    H-Hey! Go pick it up already!
[21:35] Hik
    Oh, dear. Now, I've gone and done it.
[21:38] Dai
    What are you playing at?!
[21:39] Kis
    Throw it back already!
    They'll get an inside-the-park homerun!
[21:42] Hik
    Give it to me. Your throw won't
    get there before it's too late.
[21:45] Coa
    You can make it home, Arizaka!
[22:07] Fuj
    You idiot! What are you aiming it?!
[22:08] Hik
    Oh, dear. I've done it again.
[22:10] Dai
    H-Hey! Are you just messing around?
[22:13] Dai
    First, you miss an easy fly ball,
[22:15] Dai
    then you have a strong arm,
    but your control is non-existent!
[22:18] Dai
    Weren't you playing in the
    American little leagues?!
[22:21] Hik
    Huh? This is the first time
    I've ever played baseball.
[22:25] Dai
    What?!
[24:00] Dai
    A total newcomer to baseball?!
[24:03] Dai
    Even though he's Satou Toshiya's son?
[24:06] Dai
    But, then... how can he make plays like that?
[24:10] Dai
    Satou Hikaru...
[24:12] Dai
    Is it possible he got all
    the talent I wanted for myself?
SIGN    The Two Juniors
[24:18] Dai
    Next time: The Two Juniors
[24:21] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
