[00:18] Fuj
    You idiot! Where are you aiming at?!
[00:19] Hik
    Oh, dear. I've done it again.
[00:21] Dai
    H-Hey! Are you just messing around?
[00:24] Dai
    First, you miss an easy fly ball,
[00:26] Dai
    then you have a strong arm,
    but your control is non-existent!
[00:29] Dai
    Weren't you playing in the
    American little leagues?!
[00:32] Hik
    Huh? This is the first time
    I've ever played baseball.
[00:36] Dai
    What?!
[02:11] Dai
    Y-Your first time playing baseball?!
SIGN    The Two Juniors
[02:19] Hik
    Yes. I play baseball for the first time.
[02:22] Hik
    Okay?
[02:24] Dai
    I don't believe you!
[02:25] Dai
    You're Satou Toshiya's son.
[02:29] Dai
    There's no way that's true!
[02:33] Guy
    Hey, you over there!
[02:35] Guy
    Get back to your positions!
[02:37] ---
    Y-Yes, sorry!
[02:38] Kid
    We're in the middle of a game, for Pete's sake.
[02:42] Tas
    That error came at a bad time.
[02:46] Kid
    Yeah. Satou's mistake has cost us three runs.

[02:51] Kid
    Do you think it's possible
    he's terrible at baseball?
[02:54] Tas
    It's possible.
[02:56] Tas
    He's got quite an arm, though.
[02:59] Tas
    There aren't many sixth graders who can
    throw a ball from outfield to the bench.
[03:04] Kid
    Guess he's inherited his father's good arm.
[03:07] Kid
    The same can't be said for Daigo.
[03:10] Tas
    I told you to not say things like that.
[03:11] Kid
    Sorry, sorry.
[03:12] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
[03:15] Dai
    Could this really be his
    first time playing baseball?
[03:19] Dai
    Sure, he made a complete hash of
    what should've been a basic play.
[03:23] Dai
    That throw back, though...
[03:26] Dai
    He's certainly got more
    natural talent than I do.
[03:30] Kid
    Right field!
[03:31] Dai
    Got it!
[03:34] Ump
    Out!
[03:36] Hik
    Nice catch.
[03:41] Kid
    What?!
[03:42] Kid
    This is your first time playing baseball?!
[03:44] Hik
    Yes.
[03:47] Hik
    In America, I played soccer,
    basketball, and tennis.
[03:50] Hik
    I played whatever sport was in-season,
[03:53] Hik
    but the nearest I got to baseball
    was playing catch with my dad.
[03:56] Fuj
    Are you serious?!
[03:57] Hik
    He said I could take up baseball whenever,
    so I should try other sports while young.
[04:03] Hik
    That's what they do over there, anyway.
[04:06] Hik
    But in Japan, you have a custom of picking
    one sports team in middle school, right?
[04:12] Hik
    That's why I decided to take this
    opportunity to give baseball a try.
[04:16] Kid
    Give it... a try?
[04:18] Tas
    I see.
[04:19] Tas
    That explains all those errors.
[04:21] Tas
    Our bad for assuming you were experienced
    just because you're Satou's son.
[04:25] Hik
    Don't worry about it.
[04:26] Ump
    All right, who's up to bat?
[04:30] Tas
    The previous inning ended with Daigo,
    so that means it's...
[04:33] Kim
    Satou's next, sir.
[04:34] Kim
    He subbed in for me, the leadoff.
[04:36] Hik
    Huh? Me?
[04:37] Tas
    Yes. It's your first ever at bat.
[04:40] Hik
    All right!
[04:41] Hik
    Time to do some batting!
[04:42] Dai
    Hey! Your helmet!
[04:45] Hik
    Thank you.
[04:47] Ump
    Play ball!
[04:59] Ump
    Strike!
[05:01] Kid
    What kind of swing was that?
[05:03] Kid2
    Hey, don't laugh.
[05:04] Kid2
    He's never played before. He can't help it.
[05:06] Hik
    Huh?
[05:11] Ump
    Strike two!
[05:15] Tas
    He's never gonna hit it like that.
[05:18] Tas
    Time out!
[05:20] Tas
    Hey, Satou.
[05:21] Tas
    Let me take a look at your grip.
[05:24] Tas
    I knew it. That's the wrong way around.
[05:26] Tas
    That's a left-hander's grip.
[05:28] Hik
    "Wrong way around"?
[05:31] Tas
    A right-handed batter holds it like this.
[05:33] Tas
    Like this.
[05:34] Hik
    Uh-huh.
[05:37] Hik
    I see.
[05:39] Hik
    No wonder it seemed
    hard to swing it like that.
[05:42] Ump
    Play ball!
[05:43] Pitch
    Seriously?
[05:45] Pitch
    The Dolphins have a complete
    novice on their team.
[05:55] Dai
    No way! He got a hit
    off his first proper swing!
[05:59] Hik
    Yes! I hit it! I hit it!
[06:00] Tas
    Hey! Run to first!
[06:04] Guy
    Out!
[06:06] Hik
    Isn't it weird to be called out
    when I got a hit?
[06:09] Kid
    The only thing that's weird here is you!
[06:10] Dai
    D-Damn him.
[06:12] Dai
    He ended up getting out,
[06:14] Dai
    but he got a hit like it was nothing!
    I've only ever done that in my dreams!
[06:18] Tas
    He middled it as soon as
    I showed him how to hold the bat?
[06:22] Tas
    Is this what a real second coming is like?
[06:26] Kao
    Final inning.
[06:28] Kao
    One out, runners on first and third.
[06:30] Kao
    Things are looking bleak.
[06:37] Both
    Daigo!
[06:39] Dai
    No! I'm not going to make it.
[06:51] Guy
    To first! The runner jumped the gun!
[06:55] Ump
    And he's out!
[06:57] Kao
    Yes!
[06:58] Kao
    A double play!
[07:01] Hik
    Yup, I'm getting the hang of it now.
[07:04] Hik
    Baseball's surprisingly easy,
     isn't it, Daigo-kun?
[07:11] Kao
    Daigo's team now has
    one last chance on offense.
[07:13] Kao
    I have to watch the finale up close.
[07:16] Kao
    That kid in center field
    has an incredible throw.
[07:19] Kao
    He looked like a total novice at first...
[07:28] Kao
    That man...
[07:29] Kao
    Could it be...
[07:36] Kao
    It is Toshi-kun!
[07:38] Kao
    But what's he doing here?
[07:39] Kao
    Toshi-kun!
[07:40] Kao
    Watch out!
[07:41] Kao
    Huh?
[07:51] Kao
    Out!
[07:54] Fuj
    So unlucky.
[07:55] Kid2
    Final inning. Two outs.
    Only one more chance.
[07:58] Kid2
    Looks like we're gonna lose this one.
[08:01] Dai
    It's finally over.
[08:03] Dai
    I'm only here to make up the numbers,
[08:05] Dai
    so I guess I won't have to
    play baseball anymore.
[08:11] Dai
    We're both "seconds", but there's
    such a wide gap between us.
[08:15] Dai
    In his first at bat, he got
    a hit like it was child's play.
[08:18] Dai
    He can already track fly balls.
[08:20] Dai
    And he has a monster of an arm.
[08:23] Dai
    He's what I wanted to be.
[08:25] Dai
    He's the kind of "second" I wanted to be.
[08:30] Hik
    So you're not taking up baseball again?
[08:33] Hik
    We're both "seconds", and we're in
    the same year at the same school.
[08:37] Hik
    Personally, I'd get a kick out
    of playing here with you.
[08:41] Hik
    But baseball doesn't make you happy, does it?
[08:45] Dai
    No, I'm not happy.
[08:47] Dai
    If I was a talented "second"
    like you, I'd probably be happy.
[08:51] Hik
    I wonder about that...
[08:53] Hik
    Having talent and enjoying a
    sport are two different things.
[08:59] Hik
    Truth is, I gave baseball a try today,
    but I don't find it particularly fun yet.
[09:04] Dai
    What?!
[09:10] Ump
    Safe!
[09:11] Kid
    Lucky!
[09:12] Kid
    We got a runner on base!
[09:14] Hik
    Do you think everyone here has
    the talents you're talking about?
[09:18] Hik
    Even if they don't, they look happy to me.
[09:22] Kat
    All right! It's not over yet!
[09:24] Nag
    Keep it going, Matsuda!
[09:26] Dai
    Yeah, but they're not "seconds."
[09:29] Dai
    There isn't hype about them
    every time they play baseball.
[09:33] Dai
    Nobody's comparing them to their fathers,
[09:35] Dai
    and they won't get an inferiority
    complex over their lack of talent!
[09:41] Ump
    Ball.
[09:43] Hik
    Oh, I get it now.
[09:44] Hik
    You never really cared
    about playing baseball...
[09:48] Hik
    You just wanted baseball to make you
    famous, like it did your father.
[09:53] Hik
    Of course your lack of talent
    would make you want to quit.
[09:57] Tas
    Hey, Daigo!
[09:59] Tas
    You're up next.
[10:00] Tas
    Hurry up and get ready.
[10:02] Dai
    O-Okay.
[10:08] Ump
    Dead ball!
[10:12] Kid
    Yeah, but Daigo's up next.
[10:15] Kid2
    It's over. We've got
    the awful junior at the plate!
[10:17] Fuj
    Hey!
[10:18] Hik
    What's wrong with you guys?!
[10:20] Hik
    Can't you cheer him on
     like any other guy?
[10:22] Hik
    It's because of teammates like you
    that Daigo quit in the first place!
[10:27] Hik
    Hit it, Daigo!
[10:28] Hik
    I know you hate it!
[10:29] Hik
    The least you can do is get one last hit
[10:32] Hik
    and silence me, those guys,
    and everyone else!
[10:46] Ump
    Play ball!
[10:50] Ump
    Ball.
[10:52] (Flashback) Hik
    You never really cared
    about playing baseball...
[10:56] (Flashback) Hik
    You just wanted baseball to make you
    famous, like it did your father.
[11:01] Dai
    Where does he get off,
    mouthing off like that?
[11:04] Dai
    It's not about being famous.
[11:07] Dai
    This is something I really wanted!
[11:10] Dai
    I really wanted to be a
    cool player, just like Pop!
[11:15] Dai
    I couldn't enjoy it despite having no talent!
[11:18] Dai
    My love for baseball wasn't that shallow!
[11:26] Hik
    Daigo, run!
[11:27] Dai
    Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
[11:40] Ump
    Safe!
[11:41] All
    Alright!
[11:42] Mats
    Daigo kept the inning alive!
[11:43] Nag
    Bases loaded!
[11:44] Girl
    Yes!
[11:45] Girl
    There it is! His first hit!
[11:50] Dai
    No...
[11:51] Dai
    I don't want this graze that barely
    qualifies as a hit to be my first hit.
[12:01] Dai
    That was a seriously questionable
    and awkward first hit,
[12:05] Dai
    but everyone seems really happy about it.
[12:09] Fuj
    We're counting on you, Satou!
[12:13] Hik
    I've got this.
[12:15] Hik
    I cost the team three runs with my glove,
    so I need to get them all back with my bat.
[12:23] Ump
    Play ball!
[12:34] Ump
    Strike.
[12:38] Tas
    Hey, that was way high!
[12:39] Fuj
    Why did you swing at it?
[12:44] Cat
    Is it possible that he's not even trying
    to judge if it'll be a ball or a strike?
[12:50] Cat
    I mean, he didn't even
    know how to hold a bat.
[12:52] Cat
    So it's totally possible.
[12:55] Cat
    Don't throw strikes.
[12:57] Cat
    Keep it outside.
[13:03] Ump
    Strike two.
[13:05] Fuj
    What is he doing?!
[13:07] Tas
    He doesn't know what the strike zone is.
[13:10] Dai
    I knew it.
[13:11] Dai
    I called it correctly.
[13:13] Tas
    Time out!
[13:15] Dai
    Hey, now. This can't be happening...
[13:18] Dai
    Yup, he's explaining zones.
[13:21] Dai
    He really doesn't know anything about
    baseball despite being a pro's son.
[13:28] Fuj
    And?
[13:29] Tas
    Just as we thought. He didn't know.
[13:32] Tas
    Anyway, I've explained zones to him now.
[13:36] Sat
    I see. So if you ignore the balls
[13:39] Sat
    and only swing at strikes,
    you've got a better chance of getting a hit.
[13:43] Sat
    Where was it again?
[13:45] Sat
    The height is between chest and knees,
    and the width is the width of the plate.
[13:50] Sat
    Pitches in this area are strikes.
[13:53] Sat
    Play ball!
[13:55] Kid
    Does he know about the strike zone now?
[13:57] Pitch
    Whatever. If I pitch to the corners,
    he's bound to swing.
[14:04] Ump
    Ball!
[14:06] Cat
    His first take, huh?
[14:08] Cat
    Nah, he just couldn't swing.
[14:14] Ump
    Ball!
[14:16] Dai
    This guy...
[14:17] Dai
    Does he really know where his
    strike zone is to the last inch now?
[14:20] Cat
    What's with this guy?
[14:22] Cat
    That one was close to being a strike,
    and he didn't move a muscle.
[14:26] Cat
    It's a 2-2 count.
[14:28] Cat
    Bases loaded.
[14:29] Cat
    We can't afford to fall behind in the count.
[14:32] Cat
    Oh, well. We've gotta go
    right at him with a strike!
[14:45] Fuj
    That's gone long!
[14:47] Tas
    Move it!
[14:50] Dai
    What the hell was that hit?
[14:54] Fuj
    First run.
[14:56] Fuj
    Now, we're even!
[14:59] Coach
    Go for home, Daigo!
[15:02] Dai
    That rookie isn't normal!
[15:04] Kid
    All right! We're gonna win!
[15:06] ---
    Go!
[15:07] Kao
    Daigo!
[15:10] Dai
    If I make it to home, we win.
[15:29] Ump
    Out!
[15:32] Ump
    And that's game!
[15:41] Kao
    So it was a tie. Big deal.
[15:44] Kao
    The manager took the blame
    for letting you play in sneakers.
[15:53] Kao
    B-Besides, you really gave it
    everything you had out there!
[15:56] Kao
    You got your first hit, and you
    made a number of good plays!
[15:59] Kao
    It's been a while since I've
    gotten so into a game like that.
[16:03] Kao
    It made me appreciate
    baseball all over again!
[16:07] Kao
    Don't you see, Daigo?
[16:08] Kao
    You've gotta take what you're feeling now
    and pour it back into your baseba—
[16:10] Dai
    Not gonna happen.
[16:13] Dai
    If you were trying to make me consider
    playing again by putting me in that game.
[16:20] Dai
    Well, it looks like your
    plan completely backfired!
[16:22] Dai
    Satou Toshiya's son helped me
     give up on baseball once and for all!
[16:32] Dai
    Hey! What the hell?!
[16:36] Dai
    You said if I played in that game,
    you'd buy me a new console!
[16:40] Kao
    I told you already. I'll only buy it
    if you take up baseball again.
[16:43] Kao
    You can't just spend all day playing games.
[16:46] Izu
    Jeez, they're so loud.
[16:48] Dai
    That's so unfair!
[16:50] Dai
    You deceived me just
    so I'd play in that game!
[16:54] Kao
    Yes, I did. If I hadn't said that,
    you wouldn't have gone!
[16:57] Kao
    Besides, you've also been deceiving us.
[17:01] Dai
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[17:03] Kao
    Izumi told me all about it.
[17:04] Kao
    How you've been pretending to study hard so
    you can take the Fuurin Academy entrance,
[17:08] Kao
    but in reality, you have no
    intention of going there.
[17:13] Izu
    What are you guys fighting about
    this early in the morning?
[17:16] Dai
    Shut up, you gossiping old hag!
[17:19] Izu
    What?
[17:20] Dai
    All right, fine! Whatever! You liar!
[17:28] Izu
    Did something happen?
[17:31] Izu
    Ah, okay. So Satou Toshiya's son
    was at yesterday's game.
[17:35] Kao
    Yes.
[17:36] Kao
    And despite being a complete novice,
    he displayed some impressive skills.
[17:40] Kao
    Which people might
    attribute to his lineage.
[17:42] Izu
    So Birdbrain compared himself to this guy
    and got upset about it?
[17:45] Izu
    What an idiot.
[17:48] Kao
    But at this rate, he might
    really quit baseball.
[17:53] Dai
    What the hell, man?!
[17:54] Dai
    She totally went back on her word!
[17:57] Dai
    A promise is a promise!
[18:02] Hik
    And then came epic face plant...
[18:05] Rit
    That's hilarious!
[18:09] (Flashback) Hik
    And then came the epic face plant...
[18:16] Hik
    Good morning, Daigo-kun.
[18:18] Dai
    You guys...
[18:19] Hik
    Oh, we happen to live near each other,
     so we walk the same route to school.
[18:24] Hik
    Right?
[18:25] Rit
    Y-Yeah.
[18:26] Dai
    Who cares about that?
[18:31] Dai
    I'm sorry for my "epic face plant"!
[18:33] Dai
    I'm glad you guys find it so funny that
    I'm a complete failure as a "second"!
[18:38] Dai
    You guys are just horrible!
[18:43] Hik
    Daigo-kun?
[18:45] Rit
    What was that about?
[18:48] Dai
    This is the worst.
[18:50] Dai
    I can't put my trust in anything anymore.
[18:53] Dai
    Thanks to baseball,
    I can't even see my future.
[18:58] Dai
    Ah, man, I want to play the rest of my game.
[19:04] (Flashback) Kao
    I'll buy it for you if you play baseball.
[19:07] Dai
    No, no, no!
[19:08] Dai
    I can't possibly play baseball just for that!
[19:11] Dai
    Thanks to that guy, my standing
    is even worse than before!
[19:17] Dai
    I never, ever want to play
    baseball with that guy again!
[19:22] Tea
    What's the matter, Shigeno-kun?
[19:24] Dai
    Ah, it's nothing.
[19:26] Dai
    Go to the nurse if you're ill.
[19:27] Dai
    I'm fine, really!
[19:32] Rit
    Shigeno-kun?
[19:48] Rit
    Hey!
[19:52] Rit
    I-It's not like I really want
    to talk to you, either.
[19:56] Rit
    But Satou-kun asked me to.
[20:01] Rit
    He was telling me about how he fell
    during sports day one time at his old school.
[20:05] Rit
    He thinks you might have misinterpreted it
    and thought he was talking about you.
[20:12] Rit
    Don't be a jerk.
[20:13] Rit
    I might hate you, but I don't make
    fun of people behind their backs.
[20:19] Dai
    Really?
[20:22] Rit
    Oh, yeah, another thing
    on the baseball front...
[20:26] Rit
    Satou-kun said he won't
    be joining the Dolphins.
[20:29] Rit
    He asked me to tell you
    he won't be taking up baseball.
[20:32] Dai
    What?!
[20:36] Hik
    I'll take out the trash, so you guys can go.
[20:39] Girl
    Thanks, Satou-kun!
[20:41] Gir2
    See you!
[20:42] Girl
    Bye!
[20:43] Girl
    Satou-kun's nice, isn't he?
[20:52] Hik
    Daigo-kun?
[20:54] Hik
    What's up?
[20:56] Hik
    If it's about this morning,
    I already told Sakura-sa—
[20:58] Dai
    Yeah, she told me. Water under the bridge.
[21:01] Dai
    More importantly, are you serious
    about not playing baseball?!
[21:07] Hik
    Deadly serious.
[21:09] Hik
    I tried baseball for the
    first time yesterday,
[21:11] Hik
    and it really did nothing for me.
[21:16] Hik
    I mean, it's just boring.
[21:17] Hik
    On defense, the ball rarely comes to you,
[21:20] Hik
    and on offense, you've gotta wait
    for like eight other guys to bat.
[21:24] Dai
    What are you talking about?
[21:26] Dai
    You have so much talent! What's your issue?!
[21:28] Dai
    It'd clearly be a total waste!
[21:30] Hik
    A waste?
[21:33] Hik
    What are you talking about?
    Are you some kind of scout now?
[21:37] Dai
    Shut up!
[21:39] Dai
    I'm telling you to stop screwing around!
[21:44] Dai
    You can hit well, throw well,
     and defend well.
[21:47] Dai
    You have every single thing that
    I'd give anything to have myself.
[21:52] Dai
    You can make all those cool plays...
[21:56] Dai
    So don't you dare say that it's boring!
[22:01] Dai
    Don't you dare...
[22:03] Hik
    Daigo-kun, you really like baseball, don't you?
[22:07] Hik
    For my part, I really don't
    understand why you quit.
[22:10] Hik
    I mean, you really love baseball, don't you?
[22:16] Hik
    Okay, let's play baseball together.
[22:19] Hik
    If you return to the Dolphins,
[22:22] Hik
    I'll try to figure out the appeal of
    baseball by playing some more.
[22:25] Dai
    What?!
[22:27] Dai
    Where did that come from?!
[24:00] Dai
    Why?
[24:02] Dai
    Why do I, the talentless wonder,
[24:03] Dai
    have to tag along with
    Mr. Talented to play baseball?!
[24:07] Dai
    And we're already being pitted against
    the Dolphins' starting battery.
[24:12] Dai
    This is moving way too fast.
[24:14] Dai
    Can I even survive this?
[24:16] Dai
    Next time: "The Talent of Loving Baseball".
SIGN    The Talent of Loving Baseball
[24:19] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
