SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Touto
[00:01] Dai
    It's the prelims of the Regionals,
[00:03] Dai
    and the score is tied going
    into the bottom of the third.
[00:06] Wat
    All Satou's doing to change
    the direction of his pitches
SIGN    Touto Boys
SIGN    First base  Mayumura Michiru
[00:09] Wat
    is stepping on different
    parts of the rubber.
SIGN    Pitcher
SIGN    Satou Hikaru
[00:11] Wat
    No matter how fast the pitch is,
    if we know where the ball's going,
[00:14] Wat
    we've basically defanged him.
[00:18] Mic
    Are you kidding me?
[00:19] Mic
    The secret to his newfound control
    is something so simple?
[00:30] Dai
    Hikaru's been pitching very well up to now.
[00:33] Dai
    But the Touto Boys' Mayumura siblings
    are a real force to be reckoned with.
[02:15] Ann
    Batting second, second base, Hirata-kun.
SIGN    Daigo and Hikaru
[02:18] Kid
    No outs and a runner on second!
[02:20] Ki2
    Hirata, keep us rolling!
[02:26] Dai
    It's okay. Even if they know where
    the ball's going, with Hikaru's power,
[02:29] Dai
    it still won't be easy to
    get a hit off his pitches.
[02:33] Hir
    Outside.
[02:38] Ump
    Out!
[02:41] Yum
    Outside.
[02:48] Tou
    Nice running!
[02:49] Dai
    A tag up. They're leaving no stone unturned.
[02:52] Dai
    We've got two outs, but...
SIGN    Touto Boys
SIGN    Catcher  Mayumura Wataru
[02:55] Ann
    Batting fourth, catcher,
    Mayumura Wataru-kun
[02:58] Dai
    This batter won't let us
    off the hook so easily.
[03:05] Wat
    Inside.
[03:10] Ump
    Foul!
[03:13] Ump
    He threw outside?
[03:15] Ump
    Guess he must've realized
    we'd figured him out.
[03:17] Ump
    But I won't miss again!
[03:25] Ump
    Ball!
[03:27] Dai
    He's trying to control the
    ball with his wrist action
[03:30] Dai
    so they can't just look at where
    his foot is on the rubber.
[03:34] Ump
    Ball!
[03:37] Ump
    Ball!
[03:39] Ump
    Three balls. One strike.
[03:45] Hik
    If I can't fine-tune my aim,
    I'll just have to overpower them!
[04:16] All
    Yeah!
[04:18] All
    You did it!
[04:22] All
    Awesome, Wataru!
[04:24] Dai
    He got us.
[04:31] Wat
    That should make their shoulders drop.
[04:34] Wat
    I think that one went about 100 meters.
[04:38] Ann
    Batting fifth, right field, Kouzaka-kun.
[04:39] Kao
    Aw, man! They took the lead again.
SIGN    Mifune Dolphins
SIGN    Coach  Fujii
SIGN    Mifune Dolphins
SIGN    Manager  Tashiro
[04:51] Tas
    Shake it off, Satou.
[04:58] Fuj
    What?
[05:04] All
    All right! Two homers in a row! 4-1!
[05:09] Dai
    It's no use.
[05:11] Dai
    The Touto Boys are just too good.
SIGN    First base
SIGN    Suzuki Andy
[05:14] And
    Three runs behind...
[05:15] And
    Left field
SIGN    Urabe Hayato
[05:16] Ura
    Even if I took to the mound now,
    they'd just light me up.
[05:19] Txt
    Shortstop
SIGN    Kimura
[05:20] Kim
    Crud.
[05:22] Hik
    D-Damn it!
[05:25] Ump
    Ball!
[05:27] Ump
    Ball!
[05:29] Ump
    Ball!
[05:30] Ump
    Ball four!
[05:33] Tas
    Time out!
[05:37] Tas
    Put those home runs out of your mind.
[05:39] Tas
    That was the meat of Touto's order.
     There was nothing you could do.
[05:43] Tas
    But we can't keep walking their batters.
[05:46] Tas
    It's the bottom of their lineup
    now, so just let them swing.
[05:49] Hik
    Manager.
[05:51] Hik
    You can swap me out for Urabe-kun now.
[05:55] Dai
    Huh?!
[05:56] Hik
    I've tried a few things, but it looks like
    I don't have the weaponry to win this.
[06:02] Hik
    I'm sorry I couldn't live up
    to your expectations.
[06:07] Tas
    All right.
[06:09] Tas
    But Urabe hasn't warmed up his arm yet.
[06:12] Tas
    We only need one more out.
[06:13] Tas
    Please see out this inning for us.
[06:15] Hik
    All right.
[06:19] Ann
    Batting seventh, third base, Nakamura-kun.
[06:22] Ump
    Play!
[06:27] Dai
    I've never seen Hikaru
    looking so discouraged...
[06:32] Dai
    Huh?
[06:33] Tas
    Hey!
[06:33] Fuj
    There's a runner!
[06:35] Wat
    Run, Kotouge!
[06:39] Ump
    Ball!
[06:40] Ump
    Safe!
[06:43] Hik
    I forgot about the runner. My bad.
[06:48] Momo
    Looks like that kid's concentration
    has gone out the window.
[06:52] Gra
    Yeah.
[06:53] Gra
    I think they want him to see out the inning.
[06:56] Gra
    I just hope doing so doesn't
    further dent his confidence.
[07:03] Fuj
    He got it!
[07:06] Fuj
    What?!
[07:07] Fuj
    Hikaru, cover first base!
[07:10] Ump
    Safe!
[07:11] All
    Yeah! Awesome! Runners on first and third!
[07:15] Dai
    Hikaru!
[07:17] Hik
    Oh... sorry.
[07:25] Dai
    Come on, Hikaru.
[07:27] Dai
    Grit your teeth and bear it.
[07:29] Dai
    We can still make up a three-run deficit.
[07:35] Hik
    Huh?
[07:37] Hik
    What the...
[07:39] Hik
    Was baseball... always such a grind?
[07:46] Fuj
    He's running!
[07:49] Fuj
    Hey!
[07:50] Ump
    Balk!
[08:00] Kid
    Sweet freebie!
[08:01] Kid
    5-1!
[08:05] Hik
    S-Sorry, I think I just got flustered.
[08:10] Dai
    I'm disappointed.
[08:12] Dai
    We couldn't do anything
    about those home runs.
[08:15] Dai
    Forgetting to use the set because of
    those gut punches is understandable.
[08:20] Dai
    But your errors after
    that weren't even errors!
[08:22] Dai
    You've just given up on the game!
[08:26] Dai
    Because your pitching
    isn't working against them,
[08:28] Dai
    you've stopped caring altogether!
[08:31] Dai
    You wouldn't be playing so absentmindedly
    if you still cared about this game.
[08:35] Dai
    I don't want to lose like this.
[08:38] Dai
    In fact, I still intend to win this game.
[08:57] All
    Keep us rolling, Sakai!
    This is another chance!
[09:06] (Flashback) Dai
    You've just given up on the game!
[09:11] (Flashback) Dai
    I still intend to win this game.
[09:13] Hik
    Damn it!
[09:24] Kat
    Daigo!
[09:28] Ump
    Out! Three outs! Change sides!
[09:30] Fuj
    Nice one, Daigo!
[09:33] Hik
    Daigo-kun, are you okay?
[09:34] Dai
    I'm fine, I'm fine.
[09:36] Dai
    Nice pitching.
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Touto
[09:41] Wat
    5-1, huh?
[09:42] Wat
    Not bad, I guess.
[09:45] Wat
    We're on track to get
    the game called in the fifth.
[09:50] Ura
    Let's face it. I wildly underestimated Touto.
[09:53] And
    We were relying on Satou,
    but if they can hit his pitches...
[09:56] Tas
    Urabe, start warming up your arm.
[09:59] Tas
    You're pitching next inning.
[10:01] Tas
    What?
[10:02] Tas
    Satou asked me to switch you in.
[10:04] Tas
    Andy will be your catcher.
[10:06] Tas
    So get yourselves warmed up.
[10:08] Ura
    Y-Yessir.
[10:10] Ura
    But Andy's batting first this inning.
[10:13] And
    Oh, yeah, I am.
[10:14] Dai
    I'll help you warm up while he's out there.
[10:17] Ura
    Has your nose stopped bleeding?
[10:19] Dai
    It's fine. I stuffed some
    cotton balls up there.
[10:24] Hik
    Manager.
[10:26] Hik
    I'm going to bow out now.
[10:29] Hik
    From here on out, please let
    Nagai-kun field and bat in my place.
[10:34] Tas
    What?
[10:36] Mut
    Hikaru-kun?!
[10:38] Ann
    Bottom of the fourth, Dolphins to bat.
[10:41] Ann
    Batting fourth, first base, Suzuki-kun.
[10:44] Hik
    Daigo-kun yelled at me earlier.
[10:48] Hik
    He said I shouldn't play
    as if I've already given up.
[10:53] Ump
    Strike!
[10:55] Hik
    That's when realization washed over me.
[10:57] Hik
    Once I got hit and didn't look
    so cool anymore, I stopped caring.
[11:01] Hik
    I'm not obsessed with baseball.
    I don't have any passion for the game.
[11:09] Hik
    If a newcomer like me can help the
    team win, then it's another matter.
[11:14] Hik
    But as I can't, I'm useless to you.
[11:17] Hik
    Someone like me has no right being
    on the field one second longer.
[11:21] Txt
    Right field
SIGN    Sakura Mutsuko
[11:24] Hik
    That's why I'd rather you played guys who've
     been on the team a lot longer than I have.
[11:30] Hik
    Please let the real baseball lovers,
SIGN    Nagai
[11:33] Hik
    who have trained so hard
    over the years, take to the field.
[11:38] Ump
    Foul.
[11:43] Hik
    Here. Thanks for lending them to me, Nagai-kun.
[11:52] Nag
    You absolute moron!
[11:55] Nag
    What the hell, man?!
[11:57] Nag
    "Please let Nagai bat in my place"?
SIGN    Third base
SIGN    Ariyoshi
[11:59] Nag
    Screw you with your "let the real
    baseball lovers take to the field" spiel!
SIGN    Matsubara
SIGN    Center field
SIGN    Kishimoto
[12:04] Nag
    Who do you think you are?!
[12:05] Nag
    You think doing this will make us happy?
[12:08] Nag
    Stop trying to look cool when all
    you're doing is running away, you idiot!
[12:16] Nag
    What's going on?
[12:25] Ump
    Safe! Safe!
[12:27] Ura
    That guy...
[12:28] Ura
    His leg hasn't even fully healed yet.
[12:34] Tas
    Satou, nobody's subbing in for you just yet.
[12:37] Tas
    This isn't the right time
    to remove our fifth batter.
[12:40] Hik
    All right.
[12:44] Nag
    Hey, Satou!
[12:46] Nag
    Listen up! I only want to play when I can
    bask in the glory of causing an upset!
[12:51] Nag
    If you wanna swap out for me, you'd
    better set it up so I get that opportunity!
[12:55] Nag
    Besides, you can still claw
    this back with your bat!
[12:58] Nag
    Stop hiding how upset you really are!
[13:00] Nag
    Use your own two hands to
    take back what they took from you!
[13:12] Ann
    Batting fifth, pitcher, Satou-kun.
[13:15] Ump
    Play!
[13:28] Wat
    This guy's giving off a weird vibe.
[13:31] Wat
    After him, it's their bottom order.
[13:33] Wat
    You don't have to face him head-on, Komatsu.
SIGN    Touto Boys
SIGN    Pitcher  Komatsu
[13:39] Ump
    Strike!
[13:41] Ura
    Hey, now. What's he swinging at?
[13:45] (Flashback) Nag
    Stop hiding how upset you really are!
[13:47] (Flashback) Nag
    Use your own two hands to
    take back what they took from you!
[13:51] Fuj
    Calm down, Satou!
[13:57] And
    Hey, over here!
[14:02] Ump
    Safe!
[14:04] Fuj
    What does he think he's doing?
[14:06] Fuj
    He's got an injured leg, and he was
    never a base stealer, anyway!
[14:11] And
    Hey, hey!
[14:16] Ump
    Ball!
[14:19] Ump
    Safe!
[14:20] Fuj
    Hey, And—
[14:21] Tas
    No, it's okay.
[14:23] Tas
    He's not trying to steal.
[14:25] Tas
    He's trying to put some
    pressure on their pitcher.
[14:29] Fuj
    Huh?
[14:31] Tas
    Well, he saw Satou's first swing.
[14:34] Tas
    Andy's probably trying to buy
    him some time to calm down.
[14:37] Fuj
    I see.
[14:40] And
    Hey, hey.
[14:41] And
    Over here. Over here.
[14:44] Kom
    You're a butterball like me.
[14:46] Kom
    You think you can run?!
[14:50] Ump
    Safe!
[14:50] Kom
    Damn you!
[14:53] Wat
    Time out!
[14:55] Wat
    What are you doing?!
[14:57] Wat
    With our lead, we don't have
    to worry about the runner!
[14:59] Wat
    After him, it's their bottom order.
[15:01] Wat
    You can even let Satou walk.
[15:03] Wat
    Focus on the batter!
[15:05] Wat
    Besides, do you really think
    that guy could steal second?!
[15:08] Wat
    He's just toying with you!
[15:11] Hik
    He's not a fast runner,
    and he's playing with an injury.
[15:16] Hik
    But he's still trying
    to rattle their battery.
[15:19] Hik
    Is he trying to assist me?
[15:21] Hik
    Is he doing this for me?
[15:23] (Flashback) Dai
    You've just given up on the game!
[15:26] (Flashback) Nag
    Stop trying to look cool when all
    you're doing is running away!
[15:30] Ump
    Strike two!
[15:33] Hik
    No, that's not it.
[15:35] Hik
    It's not for me.
[15:37] Hik
    Everybody's giving it their
    all in order to win this game!
[15:47] Hik
    I was a fool!
[15:49] Hik
    Of course pitching and hitting 
    is fun when you're winning!
[15:55] Hik
    But in the end, whether it's going
    well or badly... baseball is...
[16:02] Hik
    Baseball is fun because
    everyone's giving it all they've got!
[16:21] Fuj
    It's gone!
[16:34] And
    That was amazing!
[16:35] And
    It's 5-3 now. We can turn this around!
[16:37] And
    You've restored my faith, man!
[16:39] Hik
    No.
[16:42] Hik
    It was you and the rest of
    the team who restored mine.
[16:53] Mic
    That Satou Hikaru is bad news.
[16:56] Mic
    I've never seen anyone hit an outside
    pitch farther than Wataru before.
[17:01] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Touto
[17:03] Ump
    Three outs! Change sides!
[17:06] Tas
    Urabe's going to pitch now.
[17:08] Tas
    Andy will play catcher.
[17:10] Tas
    Satou, you'll switch with
    Kishimoto in center field.
[17:12] Tas
    Daigo, you're out in left field. Be ready to
    jump in if Andy's injury flares up again.
[17:16] Tas
    Matsubara, you're on first base.
[17:18] Tas
    That's all.
[17:19] Mic
    Yes, sir!
[17:21] Mic
    Huh?
[17:23] Mic
    They've changed their battery.
[17:26] Wat
    Satou was ineffective,
    so they're putting in Urabe?
[17:29] Wat
    Even though we figured him out,
    Satou's fastballs were more of a nuisance.
[17:33] Wat
    Looks like we got a lucky break.
[17:36] Wat
    Against Urabe, we can get twice
    as many runs as they did last inning.
[17:41] Wat
    Nice, Urabe. Your pitches
    are really flying today.
[17:43] Ura
    Huh? You think so?
[17:45] And
    Yeah, I mean it.
[17:47] And
    Anyway, just throw to where I signal.
[17:51] Ura
    Looks like that's all we can do.
[17:56] Ann
    Bottom of the fourth, Touto Boys to bat.
[18:00] Ann
    Batting ninth, pitcher, Komatsu-kun.
[18:03] Dai
    Okay, we just need two runs. Two runs!
[18:05] All
    Yeah, Urabe! You can do it!
[18:09] Ura
    I know!
[18:11] Ura
    This day...
[18:14] Ura
    This moment...
[18:18] Ura
    ...is the reason we've been doing all of this!
[18:22] Ump
    Strike! Out!
[18:23] Tas
    Yes!
[18:24] Fuj
    Nice pitching, Urabe!
[18:26] Ann
    Batting first, first base,
    Mayumura Michiru-san.
[18:32] Ump
    Strike!
[18:34] Gra
    That kid's not bad, either.
[18:36] Kao
    Yeah.
[18:37] Gra
    He's coming in on the low side,
[18:39] Gra
    and he's throwing the ball
    directly into the catcher's mitt.
[18:46] Ump
    Foul!
[18:48] Ump
    Ball!
[18:51] Gra
    That one was just for show.
[18:53] Gra
    The catcher's using his head
    and calling an excellent game.
[18:56] Gra
    His speed might only be average,
[18:58] Gra
    but if the pitcher keeps throwing
    with that level of control,
[19:02] Gra
    he'll cause issues for
    even the best batters.
[19:09] Ump
    Batter out!
[19:13] Mut
    Urabe-kun, nice pitching!
[19:16] Hik
    So that's what pitching is about.
[19:18] Hik
    Pitchers are more than
    just their fastballs.
[19:24] Wat
    What happened, Michiru?
    Even you're struggling?
[19:26] Wat
    A pitcher like that shouldn't
    be striking you out!
[19:28] Wat
    You're slacking!
[19:31] Mic
    That outside ball was just for show.
[19:34] Mic
    The rest were all inside.
[19:37] Wat
    What?
[19:38] Wat
    So he was throwing to your weaker side?
[19:40] Mic
    Exactly.
[19:42] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
[19:44] Fuj
    All right!
[19:45] Fuj
    Nice one, Urabe! Well done!
[19:47] Wat
    Tch.
[19:49] Mic
    I think you're the one who's slacking, Wataru.
[19:51] Wat
    What?!
[19:52] Mic
    You should stop underestimating
    Urabe and Andy.
[19:57] Mic
    We were distracted by Satou and Shigeno,
[20:00] Mic
    but it's those two who
    are Mifune's backbone.
SIGN    Mifune
SIGN    Touto
[20:05] Izu
    Oh, 5-3, huh? They're putting up a good fight.
[20:09] Kao
    Izumi! Practice over already?
[20:12] Izu
    Yup.
[20:13] Izu
    I really thought they would've
    called the game by now.
[20:16] Izu
    Is Daigo doing okay?
[20:18] Kao
    He's doing great!
[20:20] Kao
    He got a bunt and a squeeze,
    so that's one base hit and one RBI!
[20:23] Izu
    Oh, not bad!
[20:27] Ari
    All right!
[20:28] Kat
    Sakura got another hit!
[20:30] Tas
    Okay! We've got to get some more runners
    on base, and then, convert somehow.
[20:34] Ann
    Batting first, shortstop, Kimura-kun.
[20:36] Wat
    Who is that Number 9?
[20:38] Wat
    The pitch wasn't bad, but she got another hit!
[20:42] Wat
    Anyway, we can't let them score any more runs!
[20:46] Wat
    First!
[20:48] Ump
    Out!
[20:51] Tas
    Nice bunt!
[20:53] Ann
    Batting second, left field, Shigeno-kun.
[20:56] Izu
    Oh, there's Daigo!
[20:58] Wat
    Komatsu! He's going to bunt!
    Michiru, come forward to defend!
[21:02] Dai
    Th-They know...
[21:05] Tas
    He's already played a bunt
    and a squeeze today.
[21:08] Tas
    I guess they're wise to him now.
[21:13] Ump
    Strike!
[21:15] Dai
    If she stands that far forward, bunting
    for a base hit is out of the question.
[21:19] Dai
    I have no choice but to swing.
[21:25] Dai
    Maybe I can get it through
    if I roll it out to right field.
[21:29] Ump
    Strike two!
[21:33] Wat
    Two strikes. He's not going to bunt now.
[21:36] Wat
    Retake your position.
[21:38] Mic
    Okay.
[21:40] Dai
    It's no good. I can't even graze them.
[21:43] Dai
    I practiced so hard, but in the end,
[21:45] Dai
    bunting for a base hit is a sly tactic
    that won't work if they're watching for it.
[21:51] Izu
    Hey! Snap out of it, Daigo!
[21:55] Izu
    Quit swinging like you're hot stuff!
[21:57] Izu
    You can't do things you haven't
    practiced, John Doe #28!
[22:02] Dai
    S-Sis?
[22:07] Dai
    Yeah. She's right!
[22:10] Dai
    When your back's against the wall.
[22:13] Dai
    stick to what you're most comfortable with!
[22:16] Wat
    What?!
[22:17] Mic
    A two-strike bunt?!
[24:00] Dai
    Go Dolphins!
[24:01] Dai
    Tie the game, then take
    the lead and cause an upset!
[24:04] Dai
    But now, their ace Mayumura
    Michiru is taking the mound!
[24:08] Dai
    And Touto's manager's also making a move!
[24:12] Dai
    This is the strength of the
    undisputed kings, the Touto Boys.
[24:16] Dai
    They're amazing. But I don't want to lose!
SIGN    Ace on the Mound
[24:20] Dai
    Next time: "Ace on the Mound!"
[24:22] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
