SIGN    Shigeno
[00:20] Dai
    In a game-ending situation like that,
    the catcher should never leave the plate.
[00:30] Dai
    It's my fault.
[00:35] Dai
    I should've left it for Hikaru.
[00:42] Hik
    You sure look glum.
[00:48] Dai
    Hikaru?!
[00:50] Dai
    Are you okay now?
[00:52] Hik
    Why wouldn't I be?
[00:54] Dai
    Is that some sort of joke?
[00:56] Dai
    You had to be taken away in an ambulance
    after our collision yesterday!
[01:00] Hik
    Oh, that? Nah, I'm totally fine.
[01:02] Hik
    But forget that. I want you
    to catch for me, Daigo-kun.
[01:06] Hik
    We could've won yesterday's game,
    but we gave up a walk-off hit.
[01:10] Hik
    We need to practice some more.
[01:15] Dai
    S-So you're sure you're okay?
    If you are, that's a big relief.
[01:19] Dai
    Oh, but you should
    probably take it easy today.
[01:23] Dai
    You pitched in a game yesterday, after all.
[01:25] Hik
    It's all good.
[01:27] Dai
    But your arm must be tired.
[01:29] Hik
    I just said it's all good.
[01:32] Hik
    Anyway, whose fault do you
    think it was that we lost?
[01:40] Hik
    If you hadn't gotten in my way,
    we would've taken the game to extra innings.
[01:46] Hik
    And I wouldn't have had to die.
[01:57] Dai
    It... It was a dream...
SIGN    No way...!
[03:36] Mom
    Oh, good morning, Daigo.
[03:39] Dai
    Morning.
[03:41] Mom
    It's already eleven.
[03:43] Mom
    You sure slept in.
[03:45] Dai
    Yeah.
[03:46] Dai
    I had trouble getting to sleep last night.
[03:52] Mom
    Here you go.
[03:54] Dai
    What?
[03:55] Mom
    Manager Tashiro told me you needed to
    give him a call as soon as you woke up.
[04:00] Coa
    Hey, Daigo!
[04:02] Coa
    Good job out there yesterday.
[04:03] Dai
    Um, Hikaru...
[04:05] Dai
    How's Hikaru doing?
[04:08] Coa
    Satou-san called me this morning.
[04:11] Coa
    Hikaru was knocked out cold
    and suffered a concussion,
[04:13] Coa
    but I hear he's doing better already.
[04:16] Dai
    Really?
[04:17] Coa
    Yeah. So no need to worry.
[04:20] Dai
    What a relief!
[04:24] Coa
    Thanks to you guys,
[04:26] Coa
    the last tournament for the sixth
    graders ended in one hell of a game.
[04:31] Coa
    Thank you.
[04:32] Dai
    O-Oh, no, I didn't do anything special.
[04:36] Dai
    And anyway, we didn't even beat Touto.
[04:39] Coa
    And that's fine.
[04:40] Coa
    Just getting the chance to play Touto
    was something special in itself.
[04:44] Coa
    Not only that, you guys gave them a real
    run for their money, which is amazing.
[04:50] Dai
    Manager... Thank you very much!
[04:54] Coa
    Use this as an incentive.
[04:55] Coa
    You need to keep going with
    baseball in middle school.
[04:58] Dai
    Yes, sir!

[05:09] Mut
    So Hikaru-kun's okay?
[05:12] Mut
    That's great news.
[05:13] Dai
    I know, right?
[05:15] Dai
    I couldn't sleep last night.
[05:17] Dai
    I was worried about Hikaru,
    and I'm the reason we lost the game.
[05:23] Mut
    But it wasn't your fault.
[05:26] Mut
    Remember what the manager said?
[05:27] Mut
    We all fought hard,
     and it was a great game.
[05:35] Dai
    Even so, I really want to go see Hikaru
    as soon as I can and apologize to him.
[05:38] Mut
    Why don't you call him, then?
[05:41] Mut
    Or if you know his address, we could go to
    his house next Sunday. That'd surprise him!
[05:46] Dai
    B-But he lives in Gunma!
[05:48] Dai
    We're in grade school. We can't
    take the train that far on our own.
[05:51] Mut
    "That far"? It's still in the Kantou region.
[05:53] Mut
    I think it's only about two hours by train.
[05:59] Mut
    Sorry, Dad.
[06:01] Mut
    It wasn't my intention to get you to
    drive us somewhere on your day off.
[06:05] Dad
    When you said you wanted to go
    all the way to Gunma with a boy,
[06:08] Dad
    your dear old dad just 
    had to get in on the action.
[06:11] Dad
    Right, Shigeno-kun?
[06:13] Dai
    Y-Yessir!
[06:14] Dai
    My mom was also okay with this arrangement.
SIGN    Takazaki
[06:44] Dad
    I guess this is it.
SIGN    Sakaguchi
[06:50] Old
    The GPS says we're here,
    but that doesn't say Satou.
[06:55] Dai
    I think Sakaguchi's right.
[06:57] Dai
    It's Hikaru's mother's maiden name.
[07:00] Old
    Oh, I see.
[07:09] Dai
    I guess they're not in.
[07:11] Old
    Didn't I say this might happen?
[07:13] Old
    I said: "What if they're
    not in when we get there?"
[07:15] Old
    Normally, you call someone first.
[07:18] Mut
    We wanted to surprise him, though!
[07:21] Dai
    Oh, well.
[07:22] Dai
    Their car's here, though,
    so I guess we should wait a while.
[07:35] Dai
    Satou-san!
[07:37] Sat
    Daigo-kun.
[07:40] Sat
    What are you guys doing here?
[07:42] Dai
    We wanted to see Hikaru!
[07:44] Dai
    I never got a chance to talk to him
    after we lost that game.
[07:50] Mut
    We're so glad you're here!
[07:52] Mut
    So where's Hikaru-kun?
    Did he go out somewhere?
[07:55] Mut
    When is he coming back?
[07:58] Sat
    Hikaru's...
[08:01] Sat
    Hikaru's...
[08:03] Sat
    ...not coming back.
[08:04] Both
    Huh?
[08:10] Sat
    I'm sorry, but you can't see him today.
[08:13] Sat
    You should head on home.
[08:16] Mut
    What?
[08:17] Dai
    Wh-What do you mean, we can't see him?
[08:21] Dai
    They said he had a concussion,
    but he was fine!
[08:25] Sat
    I wanted to wait until we had
    a clearer picture before talking to you,
[08:30] Sat
    but I guess I can't leave you in the dark.
[08:34] Sat
    Hikaru regained consciousness,
    but he still can't move.
[08:41] Sat
    When you two ran into each other,
    his neck took the brunt of the impact.
[08:46] Sat
    He was transferred to
    a local hospital today.
[08:49] Sat
    I'm here to pick up a few of his things.
[08:53] Sat
    Unfortunately, only family
    members are allowed to visit him.
[08:58] Mut
    B-But that's...
[09:00] Mut
    He will get better, though, won't he?
[09:05] Sat
    We don't know.
[09:07] Sat
    He can't move anything below his neck,
[09:12] Sat
    so we don't know what'll happen.
[09:18] Dai
    N-No...
[09:21] Dai
    No way!
[09:44] Dad
    Shall we pull into a rest stop
    and grab a nice bite to eat?
[09:48] Mut
    S-Sure.

[10:53] Mom
    Daigo, are you home?
[11:11] Coa
    Good one, Nagai!
[11:13] Fuj
    Keep running!
[11:19] Coa
    Bow!
[11:20] All
    Thank you!
[11:23] Coa
    You all did great over
    these past three years.
[11:26] Coa
    Today's farewell game was the last time the
    sixth graders got to wear these uniforms.
[11:31] Coa
    Parting is always sad,
[11:33] Coa
    but you should be proud of what you did
     here, doggedly chasing that white ball,
[11:37] Coa
    and you must keep
    working hard in the future!
[11:39] All
    Yes, sir!
[11:41] Coa
    Last but not least, Coach Fujii and I
[11:44] Coa
    have a parting gift for each of you.
[11:46] Fuj
    We got you all some really rare
    items from a famous local store!
[11:51] Coa
    When I call your name, please come forward.
[11:53] Coa
    Number one, shortstop, Kimura!
[11:55] Kid
    Yes, sir!
[12:00] Coa
    Good work.
[12:01] Kid
    Thank you very much!
[12:03] Coa
    Number two, center field, Nagai.
[12:05] Nag
    Yes, sir!
[12:06] Coa
    Number three, pitcher, Urabe.
[12:08] Ura
    Yes, sir!
[12:10] Coa
    Number four, catcher, Andy.
[12:12] And
    Yes, sir!
[12:13] Coa
    Number five, third base, Ariyoshi!
[12:15] Are
    Yes, sir!
[12:16] Coa
    Number six, left field, Kishimoto.
[12:19] Kis
    Yes, sir!
[12:20] Coa
    Number seven, first base,  Matsubara.
[12:22] Mat
    Yes, sir!
[12:23] Coa
    Number eight, second base, Katsumata.
[12:26] Kat
    Yes, sir!
[12:27] Coa
    Number nine, right field, Sakura.
[12:29] Coa
    Yes, sir!
[12:32] All
    These are so cute!
[12:35] All
    Heave-ho, heave-ho!
[12:39] All
    Heave-ho, heave-ho!
[12:44] All
    Thank you so much!
[12:51] Fuj
    So I guess we'll drop Andy
    and Urabe off on the way.
[12:55] Both
    Yeah, thank you.
[12:57] Fuj
    Off we go!
[13:12] Fuj
    So I guess Daigo didn't show up.
[13:17] Coa
    Yeah.
[13:19] Coa
    I've tried talking to him
    about it a number of times,
[13:22] Coa
    but he's convinced himself that
    the accident was all his fault.
[13:25] Coa
    He's shut himself off from the world.
[13:28] Coa
    Apparently, he even said
    he's never playing baseball again.
[13:32] Ura
    Is he for real?
[13:35] And
    And how's Satou doing since the accident?
[13:39] Coa
    I haven't heard anything.
[13:41] Coa
    Or rather, I don't have the heart to ask.
[13:44] Coa
    They're only letting relatives see him.
[13:46] Coa
    Satou-san has asked me to leave
    them alone for the time being.
[13:51] Coa
    He says he understands
    it was an unfortunate accident,
[13:54] Coa
    and well, he doesn't want us
    worrying about them.
[14:05] Mom
    Here, Daigo.
[14:06] Mom
    It's from the Dolphins' manager, Tashiro.
[14:12] Mom
    It was today, wasn't it?
[14:13] Mom
    The Dolphins' farewell game
    for the sixth graders.
[14:17] Dai
    Yeah.
[14:18] Mom
    That's the commemorative gift.
    All the sixth graders got the same thing.
[14:24] Mom
    You could've at least said
    goodbye to your teammates.
[14:28] Izu
    Can't we just drop it? It's over now.
[14:32] Izu
    Besides, it was probably better this way.
[14:34] Izu
    If this emo kid had showed up,
    he would've brought the whole mood down.
[14:38] Izu
    It's just tiresome.
[14:41] Izu
    Shut up.
[14:43] Izu
    My baseball-playing days ended
    at the summer tournament.
[14:48] Izu
    Thanks for the food. Good night.
[14:50] Mom
    Uh, um, yeah. Good night.
[14:58] Izu
    What's wrong with that kid?
[15:00] Izu
    He doesn't even really talk anymore.
[15:02] Izu
    How long's he going to stay like this?
[15:05] Mom
    It's not surprising, after what happened.
[15:09] Mom
    I hoped it would get
    better with time, though.
[15:15] Mom
    For better or worse, everything's
     either black or white to him.
[15:20] Izu
    You mean everything's
    "baseball or not" to him.
[15:25] Izu
    He sees everything in terms of baseball.
[15:28] Mom
    You're right.
[15:29] Mom
    He's like your pop in that way.
[15:32] Mom
    He gets his stubbornness from him, too.
[15:37] Izu
    Oh, a message.
[15:39] Izu
    I wonder if it's Kasumi...

[16:38] Izu
    Oh, stop it.
[16:39] Izu
    I've decided to apply to Yokohama Seirin
    because they have a girls' baseball team.
[16:45] Girl
    Wow, really?
[16:46] Izu
    Yeah.
[16:47] Izu
    Looks like I'm not ready
    to give up baseball just yet.
[16:51] Girl
    So you're going to leave,

    Yeah...

[16:58] Girl2
    There's a strange guy over there.
[17:00] Tea
    What?
[17:01] Girl2
    Look, over there!
[17:02] Girl2
    He's been watching us this whole time.
[17:06] Girl2
    It's some weirdo, sir!
[17:08] Girl2
    I bet it's that pervert who's been

    Okay! You girls wait here.

    Hey, you over there!

    Hey!

    Stop!
[17:31] Izu
    Why is he running away?
[17:46] Mut
    Shigeno-kun!
[17:57] Mut
    So our teacher said earlier
[18:00] Mut
    that you were also trying
    to get into Fuurin Academy.
[18:04] Dai
    Yeah. I'm going to give it a try.
[18:07] Dai
    No idea if I'll get in, though.
[18:10] Mut
    Jeez, why didn't you say something?
[18:12] Mut
    I told you I was applying to Fuurin ages ago.
[18:16] Dai
    You did?
[18:21] Mut
    Oh, yeah, your older sister
    goes to Fuurin, doesn't she?
[18:26] Dai
    Yeah.
[18:29] Mut
    And she's captain of the baseball team.
[18:34] Dai
    It's her third year,
    so she already left the team.
[18:36] Dai
    She won't be there by the
    time we get there, anyway.
[18:39] Mut
    Really?
[18:40] Mut
    That's too bad.
[18:42] Mut
    It would've been reassuring to
    have an older girl on the team.
[18:45] Mut
    I hope there are some other
    girls on the team, though.
[18:52] Dai
    You're joining... the baseball team?
[18:56] Mut
    Yes, of course.
[18:58] Mut
    Playing baseball is a lot of fun.
[19:02] Dai
    I see.
[19:10] Mut
    You have to snap out of this!
[19:13] Mut
    You need to go back to
    being the old Shigeno-kun!
[19:16] Mut
    I want to play baseball with you again!
[19:20] Mut
    That game... What happened to
    Hikaru-kun wasn't your fault,
[19:26] Mut
    and I bet it'd break Hikaru-kun's
    heart to see you like this.
[19:32] Mut
    I also... don't want you to hate baseball.
[19:39] Dai
    I can't do it.
[19:42] Dai
    You were there, too.
    That time we were in Gunma.
[19:47] Mut
    In Gunma?
[19:51] Dai
    It was so far away.
[19:54] Dai
    Hikaru came all that way for our games.
[20:01] Dai
    And he must've woken up really early
    every time we had a morning game.
[20:08] Dai
    How much do you have
    to love baseball to do that?
[20:13] Dai
    And then... I...
[20:16] Mut
    Shigeno-kun... Then—
[20:19] Dai
    I just told you, I can't!
[20:21] Dai
    Don't talk about it!
[20:23] Dai
    Never mention baseball
    or Hikaru to me ever again!
[20:29] Dai
    Whatever happens...
    I'll never play baseball again!
[20:33] Mut

[20:38] Dai
    Hikaru's... paralyzed
    for the rest of his life.
