What have we got next?
[00:03] Guy2
English. And we've got a quiz.
[00:06] Guy
What? Seriously?
[00:07] Guy
Nishina, did you study?
[00:08] Nis
You know me. I obviously totally did...
[00:12] Nis
...absolutely nothing for it.
[00:15] Nis
As if I could study after practice.
[00:21] Guy
Huh?
[00:22] Guy
What's wrong?
[00:23] Nis
Oh, nothing!
[00:24] Nis
Nothing at all!

[02:08] Nis
Why would Anita want to talk to me?
[02:11] Nis
Don't tell me she's....
[02:13] (Flashback) Ani
I've always had a thing for you!
[02:17] Nis
Oh boy, that'll cause issues for the team.
[02:21] Chi
Oh, he's here.
[02:24] Ani
Sorry for callin' ya out here.
[02:26] Nis
What's going on?
[02:27] Nis
What's she doing here?
[02:29] Nis
Oh, I get it.
[02:31] Nis
Girls get embarrassed about this stuff.
[02:33] Nis
But you know, we're only
first-years in middle school.
[02:36] Nis
And you gotta think how it'd affect the team...
[02:39] Nis
Then again, I don't hate that you're into me.
[02:43] Ani
Huh? What the heck are ya babblin' 'bout?
[02:46] Ani
As if there's anythin' 'bout you
I'd fall in love with.
[02:49] Nis
Huh?
[02:49] Ani
But there is a girl with weird taste
who totally digs ya.
[02:53] Nis
What?
[02:54] Chi
It looks like my older sister
is pretty interested in you.
[03:00] Nis
A-Are you serious?
[03:03] Nis
But what's that got to do with anything?
[03:05] Ani
We're still short on players.
[03:07] Ani
Meanin' that mushroom ya recruited
spits on us, knowin' we can't do jack.
[03:12] Ani
The captain won't chew him out 'cause of that.
[03:15] Ani
That's why we absolutely
hafta get another player.
[03:18] Ani
Ya might be able to convince
Chisato's big sis to join.
[03:22] Ani
We're beggin' ya, Nishina!

Excuse me.
[03:34] Nis

and the more players we have, the better...

[03:47] Nis
But I don't like the idea of taking
advantage of someone's feelings.
[03:51] Teach
Excuse me.
[03:52] Nis
Y-Yes?
[03:54] Teach
Do you need something from the art club?
[03:56] Nis
Oh, uh, actually... I was hoping
I could talk to Fujii who's in the art club.
[04:01] Nis
Fujii-san?
[04:02] Nis
Oh, as a matter of fact, she just handed me
the paperwork to transfer to another club.
[04:08] Nis
She said she was quitting the art club
[04:10] Nis
so she could join the baseball team.
[04:13] Chiy
My name is Fujii Chiyo. I'm going
to be the baseball team's new manager.
[04:18] Chiy
I look forward to working with you.
[04:19] All
What?!
[04:22] Mut
R-Really?
[04:23] Chiy
Yes.
[04:24] Chiy
I watched your practice sessions from afar
the past few days and made up my mind.
[04:28] Chiy
Seeing you all training so hard, I wondered
if I could help you out in some way.
[04:33] Ani
What's goin' on here?
[04:35] Chi
Maybe Nishina missed her?
[04:37] Dai
Ah, well, there's so much to do, we'd be
very grateful to have you as our manager...
[04:43] Dai
But how about joining as a player?
[04:45] Chiy
I'm afraid I'll have to decline that offer.
[04:47] Chiy
Like I said before, I really don't think
I'm athletic enough to play baseball.
[04:53] Nis
What? Seriously?
[04:57] Nis
Are you really joining the baseball team?
[05:00] Chiy
Ah, so anyway, I'll go change now.
[05:05] Ani
Yup, but she's joinin' as our manager.
[05:08] Chi
I didn't expect her to join
without any prompting.
[05:11] Ani
She's seriously got her
sights set on ya, Nishina.
[05:18] Chiy
So I've joined.
[05:19] Chiy
Even though I thought I'd never
get involved with baseball again.
[05:24] Chiy
Even though I've been avoiding it since then.
[05:28] Chiy
I was never all that
interested in boys, either.
[05:32] Chiy
And now I'm here for a younger boy!
[05:35] All
Fuurin! Fight! Fight!
[05:50] All
Good work, everyone!
[05:55] Fuj
I'm exhausted.
[05:57] Mut
It's your first day.
It must've been tough to keep up.
[05:59] Chi
Well, for you, that was a good effort, Chiyo.
[06:03] Dai
Having a manager really makes a difference.
[06:06] Dai
With you helping us, everybody's
training was a lot more effective.
[06:12] Dai
Thank you.
[06:14] Chiy
I'm sorry, Captain. I'm only here
because of my impure thoughts.
[06:18] Dai
Your next task is to tidy up
the field with the first-years.
[06:22] Chiy
There's more?!
[06:26] Yay
I'm still wondering why she suddenly
wanted to become our manager.
[06:30] Tao
I mean, Chisato probably
talked her into it, right?
[06:34] Dai
Hey, everyone.
[06:36] Dai
I wanted to talk to you all
while you're washing up.
[06:38] Dai
We have a practice game
lined up this weekend
[06:41] Dai
against Tsujidou Middle,
a powerhouse from the region's south.
[06:44] Dai
I'm glad we've got enough people to play.
[06:46] Mut
Huh? We're going up against a team that strong?
[06:48] Saw
The mushroom only just joined.
[06:50] Saw
Isn't it too early?
[06:51] Dai
But I wanna see what Chiba-kun can do.
[06:55] Dai
I have to decide between him
and Tao for the position.
[06:57] Dai
I'm thinking of starting
Chiba-kun at shortstop.

Fujii
[07:04] Chiy
It's no good.
[07:05] Chiy
I need sleep.
[07:07] Chiy
I haven't worked myself this hard in a while.
[07:10] Dad
Chiyo!
[07:12] Chiy
Dad?
[07:13] Dad
I heard the news!
[07:14] Dad
You joined the baseball team!
[07:16] Dad
What's got into you?
[07:18] Dad
Oh, but you've made me one happy father!
[07:20] Dad
I thought you hated baseball after
quitting so suddenly back in grade school.
[07:26] Chiy
I mean, I'm just the mana—
[07:28] Dad
Good luck!
[07:30] Dad
Fuurin is crazy short on players,
[07:32] Dad
so if you work hard, you'll all
get the chance to play in games!
[07:35] Dad
Listen to Daigo and enjoy
your youth to the fullest!
[07:39] Chi
No, Dad, I'm saying I am—
[07:41] Dad
All right!
[07:42] Dad
Tonight, I'm breaking out the booze!
[07:44] Dad
It's time to celebrate!
[07:54] Chiy
Chisato, this is all your doing, isn't it?!
[07:56] Chiy
You didn't even tell Dad that I'm the manager!
[08:00] Chi
Hm? Is that what you wanted me to do?
[08:02] Chi
If I'd told him you'd joined the team as
our manager to chase a boy you like,
[08:08] Chi
he probably would've died of shock.
[08:12] Fuj
Wh-What are you talking about?
[08:14] Fuj
I'm not like that!
[08:15] Fuj
I don't even know him!
[08:17] Chi
Oh, but it's so obvious, Sis.
[08:19] Chi
It's Nishina, right?
[08:20] Chi
You lurve Nishina, don't you?
[08:22] Chi
Shut up!
[08:24] Chi
You don't know the first thing about me!
[08:26] Chi
Why do you always make that smug
"I did something!" expression?!
[08:29] Chi
I really hate that about you!
[08:35] Chi
"I did something!" expression? I don't get it.
[08:39] Chi
Is there a smug "I didn't do
something!" expression, too?
[08:43] Fuj
Just get out!
[08:46] Dai
What?
[08:47] Dai
Chiba-kun went home?
[08:49] Nis
Yeah.
[08:49] Nis
He said his stomach was hurting,
so he went home when the bell rang.
[08:53] Dai
I hope he's okay.
[08:55] Dai
I hope he doesn't have a cold.
The game's in two days.
[09:00] Tao
Maybe he ate some poisonous mushrooms.
[09:03] Yay
That's cannibalism.
[09:04] Ani
He's fakin' it, for sure.
[09:06] Ani
He knew we'd be doin' weights indoors
'cause of the rain, so that moron split.
[09:11] Chi
Yup, probably.
[09:12] Chi
He was late for practice this morning, too.
[09:15] Mut
See, Daigo? He's taking more and more
liberties because you're so soft on him!
[09:19] Dai
I mean, we don't have any
proof that he's faking it.
[09:22] Dai
I'll get in touch with him
later because I'm worried.
[09:25] All
Good job, everyone.
[09:29] Tai
Huh? Where're Daigo and the others?
[09:32] Saw
They already left.
[09:34] Saw
The mushroom wasn't picking up his phone,
[09:36] Saw
so they went over to his house.
[09:38] Tao
Yikes, that means he faked it for sure.
[09:41] Tao
I think even Saint Daigo
can't let this one slide.
[09:45] Saw
Daigo wanted to try the
mushroom out in the practice game.
[09:50] Saw
But in my opinion, it's pointless
until he fixes his attitude.
[09:55] Saw
I'm also ticked off about him
pitting you two against each other.
[10:02] Tao
What's this, Yayoi? Are you worried for me?
[10:06] Tao
Don't worry. There's no way that guy's
taking shortstop away from me!
[10:13] Fuj
Vice captain, I have covered
the infield with the tarpaulin.
[10:18] Mut
Right. Thanks.
[10:19] Mut
And you don't have to be
so formal. We're the same age.
[10:22] Mut
As for calling me "vice captain"...
[10:25] Fuj
Oh, right.
[10:28] Mut
But I was really surprised.
[10:29] ---
Excuse me?
[10:30] Mut
You pretty much kept up
with our training regimen.
[10:33] Mut
So you must be fit after all.
[10:36] Fuj
Well, I did tennis and swimming
back in grade school, so...
[10:41] Mut
You said you were unathletic before,
but is that really true?
[10:45] Mut
From the way you move,
I really don't get that impression.
[10:49] Mut
I heard you played baseball with your
father and sister back in grade school.
[10:54] Mut
And according to Chisato,
you're not unathletic at all.
[10:59] Mut
She said she didn't know
why you quit baseball.
[11:01] Mut
So why did you?
[11:06] Man
Yes?
[11:08] Dai
Oh, hello, we're on the
Fuurin Middle baseball team.
[11:12] Dai
We wondered if Chiba-kun was in.
[11:14] Guy
Huh?
[11:15] Guy
Oh, you're my brother's teammates?
[11:17] Guy
Takumi's in the hospital.
[11:19] Nis
What?
[11:19] Nis
Th-The hospital?
[11:22] Guy
I just heard back from him. Apparently,
they're keeping him there for a week.
[11:34] All
Appendicitis?!
[11:36] Dai
Which means Chiba-kun won't
be playing in our next game.
[11:41] Ani
So what're we gonna do now?
[11:43] Kan
We can't field enough players.
[11:45] Dai
Well, there is one way we can solve that.
[11:51] Chiy
What?
[11:52] Chiy
N-No, it's not happening!
[11:54] Dai
I'm begging you!
[11:55] Dai
You can be in the outfield. Just please play!
[11:58] Chiy
B-But...
[12:00] Mut
Practice games are so important!
[12:02] Mut
If we don't play this one,
who knows when our next one will be!
[12:05] Chis
Please, Chiyo!
[12:07] Chiy
Yeah, but...
[12:09] Ani
Ya can jus' stand there!
[12:11] Ani
Please!
[12:13] Nis
Hey now, aren't you going a bit overboard?
[12:15] Ani
Ya oughta ask her too!
[12:17] Nis
Huh?
[12:18] Chi
Yeah, come on!

Just a touch. A tiny chunk. Chiyo.

Hey, Sis.

How long are you gonna stay
on there? They're for babies!
[13:28] (Flashback) Chi
Let's play catch! Come on, let's play!
[13:32] (Flashback) Chiy
But I wanted to play on the swing...
[13:35] (Flashback) Chi
Oh, come on, this is much better!
It's baseball! Let's play baseball!
[13:40] (Flashback) Chi
Dad said I should get you to
teach me when he's at work.
[13:46] (Flashback) Chi
I want to get good like you, Sis!
[13:50] (Flashback) Chi
If I get good, I can start training with
the Dolphins when I get to third grade!
[13:59] (Flashback) Chi
Here we go!
[14:01] (Flashback) Chiy
I-Isn't this too close?
[14:02] (Flashback) Chi
It's fine, it's fine!
[14:04] (Flashback) Chi
I'm younger than you.

I think I just had a really awful dream.

Are they good?
[14:42] Mut
They're a new private school
that opened three years ago,
[14:45] Mut
so they haven't achieved a lot yet,
[14:48] Mut
but it looks like they've
gotten really strong lately.
[14:50] Mut
Especially in the last fall tournament.
[14:53] Mut
They went all the way to
regionals and placed second.
[14:59] Yay
Playing a team like that doesn't make sense.
[15:01] Tao
Why didn't you just say no?
[15:03] Ani
The mushroom's in hospital.
[15:05] Ani
And we're fieldin' our green manager
jus' to make this game happen?
[15:09] Ani
We're gonna lose so hard!
[15:12] Dai
Well, I asked all the major names to
play us because it'd be an education,
[15:19] Dai
but none of them said yes.
[15:21] Dai
Then, out of the blue, this school agreed.
[15:24] Dai
It would've been a waste to cancel.
[15:26] Ani
That's all ya can say?
[15:28] Dai
I am a little worried about
putting Chiyo out in left field,
[15:32] Dai
but judging from yesterday's practice,
[15:34] Dai
her experience at junior level means
she can handle simple fly balls.
[15:40] Dai
W-Well, let's just use this opportunity to
check out one of the top teams in our region.
[15:45] Dai
We should just aim at preventing
the game being called.
[15:49] Ani
This ain't funny.
[15:51] Ani
That mushroom's freakin' useless.
[15:56] Wom
How are you feeling after the op?
[15:59] Mush
I feel really good. Great, even.
[16:00] Mush
That jello dessert was pretty good.
[16:03] Mush
Oh, and could I get a coke or something?
[16:06] Nurse
Not happening!
[16:08] Ani
This school's pretty fancy, ain't it?
[16:11] Mut
It's brand-new, and it's a prep school for
the adjoining high school, just like ours.
[16:15] Chi
A field just for the baseball team!
[16:18] Dai
It's huge!
[16:20] Mut
They're playing a game.
[16:22] Dai
It's not intra-team, either.
That's a different school's uniform.

So they came all the way from
Saitama to play this team?

for others to want to play them.

The adviser has to accompany
the team to practice games.
[16:59] Yam
It's one of the rules.
[17:01] Yam
This game will be over soon.
[17:03] Yam
They said we should warm up out here
somewhere until our game starts at 11.
[17:08] Dai
All right.
[17:10] Yam
Oh, and they have a special rule in place.
[17:14] Dai
Huh?
[17:15] Mut
A special rule?
[17:17] Yam
It looks like each team gets an assigned
handicap based on their strength.

[18:00] Ani
This is how they treat their
guests? It's freakin' rude.
[18:04] Fuj
Aren't they being nice?
[18:07] Fuj
We're guests and we have a lot of girls,
so they're giving us this on the house.
[18:10] Saw
Oh, so this is like Ladies' Night?
[18:13] Ani
Must be nice bein' that dense.
[18:16] Dai
So they think they can beat us even
when we start with a ten-run lead?
[18:22] Ump
Play ball!
[18:24] Dai
We'll make them regret doing that.
[18:27] Dai
Not only will we stop them winning,
we'll beat them by eleven runs!

We're switching now, Chiyo.
[18:50] Chi
R-Right.
[18:52] Fuj
This is bad.
[18:54] Fuj
I just hope a ball doesn't come my way.
[18:57] Fuj
This is basically my first real game ever!
[19:01] Guy
Hurry up, will you?
[19:03] Guy
If you're already on two outs,
at least have your shin guards on!

Idiot!

Ah, I-I'm sorry!

I got yelled at.

Must be rough only having nine players.
[19:17] Ino
What's up with this team anyway, Coach?
[19:20] Ino
Not only are they short on players,
with no backup catcher,
[19:23] Ino
but of the nine players they
do have, seven are girls.
[19:26] Ino
And looking at their recent record,
they didn't even make it through the prelims.
[19:32] Ino
What's the point in playing a team like this?
[19:36] Coa
I'd like to know the answer to that myself.
[19:39] Coa
You'll have to ask the head coach,
who arranged this game.
[19:42] Coa
Maybe the ten-run handicap wasn't enough.

[19:47] (Flashback) Dai
We've got Nishina, so just
cut loose in the first inning.
[19:51] (Flashback) Dai
It'll be fine.
[19:52] (Flashback) Dai
If you throw your regular pitches, they won't
hit them easily, no matter how good they are.
[19:57] (Flashback) Dai
I'm worried about Anita on first
[19:59] (Flashback) Dai
and Chiyo out in left field,
[20:02] (Flashback) Dai
but in the past six months,
all of us have improved.
[20:06] (Flashback) Dai
Let's show them Fuurin's Girl Power!
[20:10] (Flashback) Dai
We'll make them sorry for
handing us that ten-run lead!
[20:14] Ump
Strike!
[20:16] Guy
That was a nice throw for a girl.
[20:19] Guy2
She's got nice form.
[20:23] Ump
Ball.
[20:25] Ump
Ball.
[20:26] Guy
She might lack control, though.
[20:30] Ump
Strike!
[20:36] Guy
Yeah! A hit!
[20:42] Ump
S-Safe!
[20:44] All
Yes!
[20:44] All
Nice running!
[20:47] Tao
Tch.
[20:47] Kan
That wasn't out?
[20:50] Dai
Don't worry about it!
[20:52] Guy
That shortstop's pretty good.
[20:54] Guy2
Even Tokugawa at top speed barely made it.
[20:57] Ann
Batting second, right field, Takada-kun.
[21:01] Mut
Don't rush.
[21:06] Ump
Safe!
[21:07] Dai
You're doing good, Mutsuko.
[21:09] Dai
Nice and calm.
[21:12] Ump
Strike!
[21:15] Mut
So that I don't disgrace my ace number,
[21:17] Mut
I've upped my pitching speed
by more than 5 kmph.
[21:20] Mut
Gaining five kilos sucks, though.
[21:22] Mut
We can't fear teams like these...
[21:25] Mut
...if we want to make it to regionals!
[21:33] Ump
All right!
[21:38] Ump
Out!
[21:40] Mut
Nice, Yayoi!
[21:41] Dai
Nice double play!
[21:45] All
Yay.
[21:46] Dai
Two outs!
[21:50] Ann
Batting third, catcher, Inoue-kun.
[22:00] All
Good job!
[22:01] All
This time it's a hit!
[22:05] Chi
Too bad!
[22:08] Ump
Three outs!
[22:09] Ino
What?!
[22:11] Dai
Nice, Chisato!
[22:12] Mut
Yes!

[22:15] Coa
I see.
[22:16] Coa
Looks like playing them
wasn't a complete mistake.
[22:21] All
Good one.
[22:23] All
That was amazing.
[22:24] Chiy
Chisato's one thing...
[22:26] Chiy
But all of these guys are really good!
[24:00] Chi
You can do this!
[24:01] Chi
You can hit it, Chiyo!
[24:03] Chiy
I-I can't!
[24:04] Chiy
It's too high a level for me. I don't
understand how you can all hit those pitches.
[24:09] Chi
There's a secret method to it.
[24:11] Chi
You can hit them too!
[24:12] Chiy
No, I'm not like you, Chisato!
[24:15] Chiy
I'm only here to make up the numbers.
[24:17] Chi
Don't say that!
SIGN You Disappoint Me!
[24:20] Chi
Next time: "You Disappoint Me!"
[24:22] Chiy
Run to the stage of your dreams!
