Do you have a moment?
[00:02] Dai
Yamaguchi-sensei.
[00:04] Yam
Right. This is all new to me,
so I sort of forgot about this.
[00:09] Yam
I got this a while ago, but I overlooked it.

[01:52] Ani
We've seriously got a tourney in two weeks?
SIGN What's With This Guy?!
[01:56] Nan
Oh, right. I guess the first-years wouldn't know.
[01:59] Nan
The Japanese National
Youth Baseball Tournament.
[02:01] Nan
Also known as the rubber-ball nationals.
[02:05] Dai
I didn't think we'd signed up for it
this year, so this is a real surprise.
[02:10] Mut
We only just scraped together nine players.
We haven't even had a practice game yet.
[02:15] Mut
It's way too early to play in any tournaments.
[02:17] Mut
And in just two weeks?
[02:19] Tan
Hm, true. We haven't really
practiced as a team yet.
[02:22] Kan
With only nine of us,
if one person gets sick, we're out.
[02:25] Yayo
So should we back out?
[02:27] Tai
No, let's go for it.
[02:28] Tai
This is an opportunity.
[02:29] Chi
If we do go, are Nishina-kun and
Sakura-senpai our only pitchers?
[02:33] Ani
Nishina ain't no good.
[02:35] Ani
He's useless.
[02:37] Yam
What are you going to do?
[02:39] Yam
I don't mind if you choose not to participate.
[02:42] Yam
That way, this tournament
won't ruin my precious weekend.
[02:46] Dai
No, of course we'll play in it.
[02:50] Dai
We wanted to play some
practice games, anyway.
[02:53] Dai
We won't set ourselves
a goal on where we place,
[02:56] Dai
but tournament experience
will be invaluable.
[02:59] Yam
I s-see.
[03:00] Dai
For now, we'll determine
how strong we really are.
[03:08] Tao
Back home!
[03:31] Nis
Dammit.
[03:34] Nis
Why am I the only one who
has to do stamina training?
[03:38] Ani
Last one.
[03:40] Ani
Down the pipe.
[03:45] Ani
Nice ball!
[03:52] Yayo
See you later.
[03:54] All
Good session today. Bye!
[03:58] Dai
Hey, first-years!
[04:00] Dai
One of you come help me
with the field covers.
[04:04] Chi
Coming!
[04:06] Ani
I'll go.
[04:08] Ani
Put this away for me.
[04:09] Nis
Why do I have to do your part, too—
[04:12] Nis
You're ignoring me?!
[04:17] Dai
So heavy...
[04:18] Dai
Oh, Anita.
[04:19] Dai
Grab that end.
[04:21] Ani
Senpai, if we're gonna go to this tournament,
[04:24] Ani
oughtn't we do somethin'
'bout the pitcher situation?
[04:27] Dai
Huh?
[04:28] Ani
Nishina ain't gonna be any use to us,
[04:31] Ani
and there ain't no tellin' how many
runs Sakura-senpai's gonna give up.
[04:36] Ani
She's got good control, and when it comes to
breaking balls, she's got sinkers and sliders.
[04:41] Ani
I get why Nishina and the others got
done over, but with just those two,
[04:45] Ani
we'll never be the best in the region.
[04:48] Dai
Best in the region?
[04:50] Dai
As if. We're not aiming that high.
[04:54] Dai
Come on, grab that end.
[04:59] Ani
But if we win two games,
we're in the semi-finals.
[05:03] Ani
And if we make the semi-finals,
we play two games on the third day.
[05:07] Nis
What's she going on about now?
[05:10] Chis
Well... I have a hunch.
[05:13] Ani
No matter how you look at it,
we ain't gettin' nowhere with one pitcher.
[05:17] Ani
And sweet, delicate Sakura-senpai will only
be at her best for one or two games, tops.
[05:22] Ani
The obvious answer is
to find at least one more pitcher.
[05:27] Ani
As captain, you need to
think about these things.
[05:32] Ani
What's the point of enterin'
a tourney and not tryna win it?!
[05:36] Dai
No, it'll be fine.
[05:40] Dai
I appreciate your enthusiasm.
[05:43] Dai
With you guys on board,
we'll put up a decent fight, for sure.
[05:48] Dai
But it isn't yet time for us
to be overreaching ourselves.
[05:53] Dai
All right, Nishina, Chisato,
help us roll out the sheet.
[05:56] Chis
Okay.
[05:57] Nis
Sure.
[05:58] Dai
Nishina, pull that over there.
[06:00] Nis
Yeah, yeah.
[06:01] Chis
I'll take this side.
[06:02] Dai
Okay.
[06:04] Dai
I'm leaving now.
[06:06] Dai
Please make sure you lock up.
[06:08] Chis
Okay.
[06:10] Ani
This team ain't gonna get nowhere!
[06:12] Ani
I knew Baby Boy oughtn't
be allowed near the captaincy.
[06:15] Chis
"Baby Boy"?
[06:17] Ani
He don't care one bit 'bout
winnin' this tournament!
[06:21] Ani
And without a coach,
we need a real captain to take charge!
[06:26] Ani
Instead, we got this loosey-goosey fella
who ain't fit to lead anythin'!
[06:30] Chis
You think?
[06:31] Chis
I think he's nice. But it's more than that.
He always helps everyone with their drills.
[06:37] Chis
He's acting like a "real" captain, if you ask me.
[06:39] Ani
Chisato!
[06:41] Ani
You should pitch!
[06:43] Ani
You pitched for Little,
so I know you can do it.
[06:46] Chis
What?
[06:53] Mut
I'm exhausted!
[06:55] Dai
Good morning!
[06:56] Mut
Oh, morning.
[06:58] Dai
What's got into you, Mutsuko?
[07:00] Dai
Don't you usually take the bus?
[07:02] Mut
Huh? Oh, well, you know...
[07:06] Mut
I-I thought I'd try to copy
what you do for training.
[07:12] Mut
I need to get in shape for the tournament.
[07:16] Dai
I see.
[07:17] Mut
Wh-What?
[07:22] Dai
So how are things with Anita?
[07:24] Dai
Think you'll get along?
[07:26] Mut
Yeah. No problems so far.
[07:29] Mut
She's a really good catcher,
and she praises my good pitches.
[07:33] Mut
And it's easy to pitch
to someone her size.
[07:36] Dai
I guess I'm too small for
anyone to see the target.
[07:40] Mut
Oh, no, I didn't mean it like that!
[07:43] Mut
Huh?
[07:44] Mut
Someone got here even earlier
than us, and they're pitching.
[07:47] Mut
It's not Nishina, is it?
[07:54] Dai
Nice ball!
[07:57] Dai
That was amazing, Chisato.
[07:59] Dai
You're really good.
[08:00] Chis
Oh, not really...
[08:02] Mut
Wait, her pitches are way faster than mine!
[08:06] Mut
Fast, ain't they?
[08:08] Mut
She was a middle reliever for Yokohama Little.
[08:12] Mut
Bet you wanna reconsider your
pitchin' lineup now, don'tcha, Captain?
[08:17] Dai
Nope, not really.
[08:19] Dai
Sorry, but I don't intend to put a first-year
on the mound in an official tournament.
[08:24] Dai
Besides, I'm the captain of this team, not you.
[08:30] Dai
I can't entrust the catcher position to
someone who refuses to follow my directions.
[08:38] Teach
This formula is very important,
so please commit it to memory.
[08:43] Teach
This will be on the test.
[08:45] (Flashback) Dai
I can't entrust the catcher position to
someone who refuses to follow my directions.
[08:52] (Flashback) Dai
Chisato, do you want to pitch?
[08:54] (Flashback) Chi
Oh, uh, no. I just figured I'd warm up
my arm because we seem light on pitchers.
[09:00] (Flashback) Dai
I see.
[09:02] (Flashback) Dai
Then, let's revisit this
after the tournament.
[09:04] (Flashback) Dai
Right now, I need you to focus on your
linchpin position as the center fielder.
[09:09] (Flashback) Chi
O-Okay!
[09:10] (Flashback) Dai
Anita, you should be concentrating on
building up your battery with Mutsuko.
[09:15] (Flashback) Dai
If you go behind my back again, you'll be
switching places with me in the outfield.
[09:19] (Flashback) Dai
You got that?
[09:22] Ani
Who's that runt think he is?!
[09:24] Ani
I was doin' him a favor. Where's he get off,
throwin' it back in my face like that?
[09:30] (Flashback) Dai
Okay, Anita, you can be our starting catcher.
[09:33] Ani
Why's a wussy captain who
gave up his position to a first-year,
[09:37] Ani
suddenly actin' like a coach?!
[09:40] Ani
I ain't acceptin' any of this!
[09:43] Yayo
Huh?
[09:44] Tao
You want to know why Daigo's our captain?
[09:47] Ani
Yeah. From day one,
it ain't made a lick of sense to me.
[09:50] Ani
I mean, Tanba-san's a third-year.
[09:52] Ani
Or if you did it on skill,
you two have him beat, hands down.
[09:57] Ani
So I wanna know why the heck that
shrimpy Shigeno-senpai's our captain!
[10:02] Tao
Because our old coach
gave him the captaincy.
[10:04] Ani
Huh? That's the only reason?
[10:06] Yayo
We were never interested in it, anyway.
[10:09] Yayo
You're basically just
a manager by another name.
[10:12] Tao
If anything, we're lucky Daigo wanted to do it.
[10:16] Ani
So y'all are totally fine
with him bein' captain?
[10:21] Ani
With no coach around, he seems pleased
as punch to be tellin' the team what to do,
[10:26] Ani
but I'll level with you: I don't wanna
listen to a fella who's worse'n me.
[10:30] Ani
An' I can't stand that he don't
care 'bout winnin' this tourney!
[10:34] Yayo
What's the big rush, Anita?
[10:38] Yayo
I mean, I know you hate losing,
but there'll be plenty of other tournaments.
[10:44] Yayo
What's got you so riled up?
[10:47] Yayo
We'll see after this tournament
how good our captain is.
[10:52] Yayo
If we get a bad result,
we can all rethink it.
[10:56] Ani
Oh... I see how it is.
[10:59] Ani
Fine, then.
[11:04] Tao
What's up with her?
[11:05] Tao
She's even more intense now
than when we were in Little.
[11:09] Yayo
There's something off about her.
[11:11] Yayo
The other day, she lied
when she introduced herself.
[11:14] Tao
Huh? She lied?
[11:15] Yayo
She said she was Yokohama Little's catcher
when they got to the quarters of Nationals.
[11:23] Yayo
I looked into it, and that's not quite true.
[11:25] Tao
What?!
[11:32] Ani
It's so disappointin'.
[11:33] Ani
The older players are too
laid back and can't be relied on!
[11:36] Chis
Why don't you just let it go?
[11:38] Chis
In the upcoming tournament,
let's just focus on our own game.
[11:42] Ani
Yeah, you're right.
[11:44] Ani
I'll just hafta prop up the
team by makin' all the plays
[11:47] Ani
and become the captain in all but name.
[11:49] Dai
Anita!
[11:51] Chis
Senpai!
[11:53] Ani
Aw, hell. Did he just hear all that?
[11:55] Dai
Sorry about this, but I need you
to come somewhere with me.
[11:59] Dai
Chisato, you can go to practice.
[12:02] Dai
Oh, and Anita, please change into a tracksuit.
[12:05] Dai
We can't go to this place
wearing our school or team uniforms.
[12:17] Nis
Are they gonna make me
drag around tires again?
[12:23] Nis
What are those two weirdos up to?
[12:25] Nis
Captain?
[12:28] Dai
Oh, hey, Nishina.
[12:29] Nis
Where are you going?
[12:30] Nis
Playing hooky?
[12:31] Ani
Yeah, right.
[12:33] Nis
Hey, whaddaya say to letting
me practice pitching today?
[12:36] Dai
Not happening.
[12:37] Dai
From now to the tournament, you need
to focus on getting your core fitness up.
[12:42] Nis
B-But hold on a minute!
[12:44] Dai
End of discussion.
[12:45] Dai
We're in a hurry.
[12:46] Dai
Let's go, Anita.
[12:48] Nis
H-Hey!
[12:52] Nis
Damn!
[12:53] Nis
I've had it!
[12:55] Nis
I'm going home.
[12:56] Nis
I don't care.
[12:59] Tan
The field isn't that way.
[13:01] Nis
I w-was about to—
[13:03] Tan
Let's give it our all again today!
[13:03] ---
Hey! Let go!
[13:07] Chis
Excuse me!
[13:09] Yayo
Oh, you're alone?
[13:11] Tao
Anita's not with you?
[13:13] Chis
Shigeno-senpai whisked her away on a date!
[13:18] Chis
Just kidding.
[13:20] Nan
That was a joke?!
[13:22] Chis
We have no data on the first team we're facing,
[13:25] Chis
so they went to do some recon.
[13:27] Chis
He said, as she's our catcher,
she should probably tag along.
[13:31] Yayo
Huh. He's going that far?
[13:34] Tao
I thought he said he didn't really
care about this tournament.
[13:38] Mut
I think you might have misunderstood him.
[13:41] Mut
He said we shouldn't overreach ourselves,
[13:44] Mut
but he never said we're
going out there to lose.
[13:48] Mut
He doesn't really show it,
[13:50] Mut
but I'm pretty sure he hates
losing more than anyone else.

We're here.
[14:00] Dai
Ah, there they are.
[14:02] Dai
What a stroke of luck!
[14:04] Dai
They're playing a scrimmage game.
[14:11] Dai
Let's watch from here.
[14:14] Ani
Why from all the way back here?
[14:16] Ani
An' the trees are in the way.
[14:17] Ani
We could just go stand behind the back net.
[14:20] Dai
Even out here, we don't want
to get caught spying on them.
[14:24] Dai
It'd mean a reprimand.
[14:27] Dai
Why do you think I asked you
to put on a generic tracksuit?
[14:31] Dai
Here, use these to get a better look.
[14:34] ---
Uh... But...
[14:36] Dai
Don't worry.
[14:37] Dai
I've got another pair.
[14:40] Dai
Looks like it's an intra-team game.
[14:44] Dai
The ones with uniforms must be starters.
[14:52] Ani
What's the deal with this captain?
[14:54] Ani
I thought he didn't care 'bout winnin',
[14:56] Ani
but here he is, diligently scoutin'
out our first-round opponents!
[15:00] Ani
I don't get it!
[15:01] Ani
The heck's goin' on?
[15:02] Dai
Look, Anita.
[15:06] Dai
That's Itsuki Middle's ace.
[15:12] Dai
Well, probably.
[15:13] Ani
No, that's their ace, 100 percent.
[15:18] Chi
So what should we do after school?
[15:22] Chi
Wanna go to the batting cages again?
[15:24] Kid
Nah. Going there every day
puts a dent in the wallet.
[15:29] Ume
They should have Senior League practice
on weekdays too, not just on weekends.
[15:34] Chi
That's where I get jealous of Nishina.
[15:37] Chi
He's got practice every day.
[15:39] Ume
And he's a starter already, too.
[15:41] Chi
Hey, Nishina.
[15:42] Chi
On your all-girl team,
you're gonna be their ace for sure, right?
[15:46] Nis
Of course I am!
[15:48] Guy
I knew it.
[15:49] Ume
But just you wait. We'll be starters
in the Senior League, too!
[15:54] Chi
Let's aim for Nationals like
when we played for the Lions.
[15:57] All
Yeah!
[16:06] Nis
Those guys are definitely gonna
take a step up in the Senior League.
[16:10] Nis
Should I really let myself
rot away in this team?
[16:15] Nis
The school year only just started.
Maybe I should forget the scholarship,
[16:18] Nis
enter a public school,
and play in the Senior League as well?
[16:27] Chi
Wow, a pitching machine!
[16:30] Ani
Didn't know we had one of these.
[16:32] Dai
Well, this is a private school,
and the team was strong in the past.
[16:36] Tan
If the machine's out,
[16:38] Tan
does that mean Itsuki's
pitcher is pretty fast?
[16:41] Dai
Yes.
[16:42] Dai
Based on what me and Anita saw,
[16:45] Dai
we reckon he pitches
around the 120 kmph mark.
[16:49] All
120 kmph?!
[16:51] Dai
He doesn't use breaking balls,
so far as we could tell,
[16:53] Dai
but if we can't hit those fastballs,
we won't get anywhere.
[16:57] Yayo
So we're focusing on batting.
[16:59] Dai
Bingo.
[17:01] Dai
Everyone! Let's do our best
so we can hit those fastballs!
[17:04] All
All right!
[17:17] Dai
Next up, Nishina!
[17:19] Nis
What should I do about this tournament?
[17:22] Nis
They'll struggle without me.
[17:24] Nis
Oh well. Not my problem.
[17:34] Tan
Okay, here we go!
[17:37] Dai
Please!
[17:40] Nan
He glanced it!
[17:41] Tao
He's got a good swing.
[17:46] Chis
Wow! He's really hitting them back.
[17:49] Mut
Nobody practices batting more than him.
[17:52] Nis
I didn't get near those balls,
and he's just casually...
[17:56] Nis
If I quit now,
[17:57] Nis
it'll look like I ran away because
I couldn't keep up with him.
[18:02] Nis
I can't do that!
[18:05] Nis
First, I'll show him up and then quit!
[18:13] Muts
Who's that?
[18:14] Muts
They're not wearing our school's uniform.

[18:23] Coach
What? Six of their players are girls?
[18:26] Boy
Yes.
[18:26] Boy
And it seems like they only
have nine players total.
[18:30] Boy
Barely enough to field a team.
[18:32] Coach
I see.
[18:33] Boy
I didn't get to see the pitcher today,
but I'll try to sneak back another time.
[18:38] Coach
All right.
[18:39] Coach
Please copy today's video
onto the computer.
[18:50] (Flashback) Ani
Senpai.
[18:52] (Flashback) Dai
Yes?
[18:53] (Flashback) Ani
I'm gonna be honest,
I don't get your thinkin' at all.
[18:56] (Flashback) Dai
Huh?
[18:57] (Flashback) Ani
If you care enough 'bout
winnin' to scout the other team,
[19:00] (Flashback) Ani
why don'tcha prep another pitcher?
[19:03] (Flashback) Ani
I know it'd be sudden,
but Chisato's got experience.
[19:08] (Flashback) Ani
Ain't no harm in lettin'
her practice pitchin' a bit.
[19:12] (Flashback) Ani
It'd take some of the pressure
off Sakura-senpai, too.
[19:15] (Flashback) Ani
And why can't Nishina get up on the
mound, just 'cause he's a first-year?
[19:20] (Flashback) Ani
You oughta test him and let him
explore his limits without goin' past 'em.
[19:26] (Flashback) Dai
It looks like you still don't
understand your position.
[19:30] (Flashback) Ani
Huh?
[19:31] (Flashback) Dai
You're also being tested right now.
[19:35] (Flashback) Dai
Instead of worrying about
all our pitching options,
[19:39] (Flashback) Dai
you should be thinking about how
to win the first game with just Mutsuko.
[19:43] (Flashback) Dai
That's why I brought you scouting
with me. Do you understand?
[19:49] (Flashback) Dai
I'll spell it out for you.
I think Mutsuko can do it.
[19:52] (Flashback) Dai
If they end up hitting her pitches,
that's on you as the catcher.
[20:00] Ani
I ain't ever givin' him
the chance to blame me.
[20:02] Ani
With me callin' the shots,
we're gonna shut 'em out.
[20:20] Ani
Nice ball!
[20:21] Ani
On the next one,
aim low to the inside.
[20:28] Mut
Good work!
[20:30] Dai
Yeah, good work!
[20:32] Mut
Everyone's really improved.
[20:34] Dai
Yeah.
[20:35] Dai
Our opponents are scarier than I thought,
[20:38] Dai
but with our potential,
winning isn't out of the question.
[20:41] Mut
Yeah.
[20:42] Mut
I'm ready to get up on the mound the day
after tomorrow and pitch with all I've got.
[20:46] Dai
We're counting on you.
[20:55] Izu
Hey, how long are you
going to hog that spot?
[20:58] Dai
Hey, Sis.
[20:59] Izu
You know I want to practice
my pitching too, right?
[21:03] Dai
Just give me a little longer.
[21:05] Dai
I've got a tournament game
the day after tomorrow.
[21:07] Izu
Oh, fine.
[21:10] Izu
Maybe I'll be a really nice
big sister and pitch to you.
[21:13] Dai
You mean it?!
[21:15] Dai
Come on, Sis, let's go!
[21:17] Izu
All right, all right.
[21:18] ---
Let's go!
[21:19] Mom
Dinner's almost ready.
[21:23] Mom
Honestly... There are baseball nerds
everywhere you look in this house.
[21:24] Dai
Hey! Don't start with a curve ball!
[21:29] Dai
Good work, everyone!
[21:31] Dai

This will be the true beginning
of the new generation
[22:27] Dai

Looks like Daigo-kun's Fuurin team
is finally getting started, Goro-kun.
[24:04] Gor
Yeah, and I'm so excited, I wanna
leap onto the field and go wild.
[24:09] Gor
Wanna join me, Toshi?
[24:10] Tosh
That's just like you.
[24:11] Tosh
But how's Daigo-kun handling it?
[24:14] Gor
Whatever obstacle he faces,
he'll overcome it.
[24:17] Gor
He's already gone through
so much to get here.
SIGN Captain Daigo
